Girl Missing from RIU Hotel in Punta Cana
The press has said the parents returned home, they have two other children in high school.
Kind of strange, you would think one would stay. But until you are in a position like theirs who knows.
Got the link from this post: https://dr1.com/forums/threads/girl-missing-from-riu-hotel-in-punta-cana.414134/post-5770540
Yes, the optics are not good at all but accidents do happen in all parts of the world. Her being missing now has captured attention. I don't think the DR has an option here, its a no-win situation and reality is the chances of her being found diminish every hour.
It comes down to information management, if they were having bilingual press conferences with US press present, and the DR embassy was doing a daily briefing in the US, it will take a bite out of the speculation. It is quite possible the parents also returned to the US to have those phone calls made and to engage US media. By end of day Monday I think the future direction this will take, may be clearer.
Key excerpts from it:
Video evidence points to additional people being on the beach around the time
Investigators are trying to identify these people while asking that they come forward with any information about Konanki.
The night Konanki disappeared, sea conditions were dangerous with high waves, Agustín Morillo Rodríguez, general commander of the Dominican Republic navy, told CNN Wednesday.
Konanki’s parents, Subbarayudu and Sreedevi Konanki, returned to Virginia this week after flying to Punta Cana with two family friends, according to Chapman.
The whole story will never sit right with me. It's a shame. I am hoping for a turnaround, but it is looking quite dismal.
Jose Jose if DR does not let FBI in on the case I'm sure Donald will have no problem Stopping my tax dollars that arrive here.
Also FBI CIA DEA is already here .
I said this before and I'll say it again the Tourist industry will never be at fault they will spin this many ways in the end ,
I say the body is found in Macao
The autopsy will say she drowned and that will be the end of the story she could have a thousand stab wounds on her and they will say that happened from fish.
Unfortunately it is the way it is including in the US. Consider than over 500,000 persons go missing in the US each year and laser focus only happens in a fraction of these cases. What DR needs on this is coordinated crisis management for perception is indeed reality at the end of the day.
Yes, they are already there (stationed - they may just have specialized resources come down), what I mean is that they don't have authority over where the case goes in the DR. Can they do some behind the scenes arm twisting and pressure? Certainly. Can they make off the record "you better do this or else" type of things? Absolutely.
However if the Fiscalia and PN decide that drowning is the only viable outcome with no viable recovery of her, that will eventually prevail unless US agencies have a compelling theory (and evidence that perhaps points at something else --- they still have to work with DR on other things -- they wouldn't damage a working relationship over this.). Its more complicated when she entered DR on an Indian passport - India would also have to put on equal or greater pressure. The best outcome would be for her to be found.
Was he really Barefoot ? Who the F walks around BAREFOOT at a Resort , except Poolside and on the sand ?
That is some serious Trailer Park White trash Sheit , or maybe those Flip Flops got Torn up somehow.
Acceptance ?
is this something your read in some 20 year old Library Psychology book for $1.50 in late charges
Your knowledge of how Parents THINK and FEEL is very lacking
NO PARENT EVER GIVES UP HOPE , NO Matter how SLIM
They probably went back to assemble a LEGAL Team or some other Such Team to do their OWN Investigation
There is NO way they will give up and just accept it, until she or her Body is Found ..
This much I do know .

They are coming back with BIG GUN Lawyers and a Team of their Own people .
Take that to the Bank .
Why are you folks rambling on about something you know nothing.......he said she said.....wait until the investigation is officially announced and then post your opinions. Have you nothing better or interesting to talk about without bickering? Remember Cavok, it is what is.
The resort owners and the DR government will start circling the wagons of that is the case. I recall many posts on DR1 where family members hired private investigators to trace missing relatives and it didn’t result in a positive outcome. The resort owners have caveats in place to protect themselves in situations like this. Again no body means no resolution for any of the parties involved.
Can you remind me why I would give 2 sheits about your Opinion
because at my Age , I tend to forget things which mean nothing to me .
My wife walks barefoot whenever and where ever she can, Grounding she calls it. If the sea was really that rough the footwear could easily be lost in the water. Remember they were drunk.
Take your own advice and bring it down a notch
Yes, see the video before they go to beach (shoes, socks, shirt are clearly seen) and the one of him returning minus that. He may not recall how he lost or what happened to them or he does and isn't telling.
I'll admit that I can never know what the parents are feeling or thinking. Anything said on this is in speculative terms. Grief has 7 stages (knew this for some years) you can look it up as well and see more on the first stage (shock and disbelief). Letting it sink in that she is gone means they may be more open minded to what they are told by investigators once past the first stage. Agreed on what they may have returned to do.
Full acceptance may never come and it can take years and counselling. It doesn't mean they stop grieving or feeling the pain of the loss. Without a body or credible witnesses, they will hold out hope no doubt, same as in the Darryl case to the present (from more recent video).
