Girl Missing from RIU Hotel in Punta Cana
U dont need to explain it, I am familiar with the Stages of Grief, learned that in 2nd year of college in 1979
and it has been well explaind to me over the years by Family members who see people die every single day in their line of work.. and deal with their Families and the Media as well . but thats a different topic.
One does NOT go through all those Stages in just a couple of days .. much less for a CHILD who is still missing .
These People/ Parents are Educated and I am very sure saw what a complete CLUSTER F CK the DR can be . so they went back home to get their Ducks in a Row and come back .
This is not a 90 year old Mom, with no Pull , and no money and a Go Fund me account with a $1500 balance on it from 100 different peoples donations .
These are people connected to Power , and the full weight will be coming down on the F tards who led this disaster of an Investigation with no Body for them to even give a proper Burial..
This one around 2:45 shows he only has his shorts and has his hand in one pocket for the part that is shown.
and when chubby boy was going to the beach he had on shoes and socks as well
Great, glad that you are well aware and for those who see it daily, that must take a toll on them but even more or those suffering the loss. The pain they are going through (see here) is something immeasurable.
True, it may not be apparent with them in person, as is said, actions speak louder than words. I only hope they can get true closure. Bungled investigations are very hard to fix.
they will both concoct a good story in the end they both are treacherous
Agreed. She and her parents are not Dominican citizens. We know the rule of law in the DR rules in favour of Dominicans. I have no doubt about the final outcome If her body is not located and an autopsy is not performed. The most that will be done is a DR form of public inquiry to give the media the impression justice is being done. The inquiry will be a review of the multi agency response to the incident, it will exonerate resort staff, and praise the DR multi agency response. DR police investigation mistakes will be glossed over or covered up, existing evidence will eventually disappear, and the government party line of CYA will be the end result.
I’m sure the DR police and other agencies are making a concerted effort to find her body while they are being held under a microscope by the US enforcement agencies but, if the US agencies and her parents weren’t here to push them, the DR agencies would have called this off by now and written it off as another tourist drowning due to alcohol. That may actually be the reason but, without a body, we will never know.
No body found and no autopsy also means less likelihood of lawsuits and a long drawn out trial in public view. Something the DR tourism industry would fear because it would be a media nightmare for its AI industry in peak season. Something US media outlets would cover extensively.
No doubt, they operate in a non-normal realm, if one though they had seen it all, they haven't see this one yet
They are also not US citizens, as someone mentioned here, they must have powerful connections for the level of response that they are receiving. The industry is going to have to handle it the best way to they can if a body is found. They might as well prepare for such an eventuality.
I believe they have dual citizenship. The area where they live is where many of the Washington D.C politicis live and people that have large gov contracts with the fed. Gov

Are you saying that the US isn't the kind of country to damage a working relationship?
It's been mentioned in a number of media reports, for example: Originally from India, the Konanki family has been in the US since 2006 and are permanent residents living in Virginia https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/us/sudiksha-konanki-missing-search-intensifies-hnk/index.html True, that area has power centered around it. Almost 20 years in the US, they would have many contacts.
They certainly can damage. In this instance there is a greater national interest in seizing Maduro's planes, interdicting drugs, exploiting rare earth minerals vs choosing to butt heads over a situation neither side can do much more about but hope (at this point) that she is found.

The interview record of Joshua Steven R, currently held by the news, comprises six pages and over 50 questions of various kinds. With the assistance of an interpreter, prosecutors interviewed him, stating in the document that he was being questioned as a witness in relation to the disappearance of the young woman. They noted that the interview was conducted in English and that he had the right not to answer if he so understood. Two lawyers were present.
Joshua Steven R's Statements During the Interview:
- Meeting Sudiksha Konanki:
He stated he met Sudiksha Konanki that night before going to the beach, pointing out:
- At the Beach:
When asked by the prosecutor what they did at the beach, he responded:
Of the group of six people—two males and four females—who went to the beach, two girls did not go into the water, according to his statements. - While in the Water:
Regarding what happened while they were bathing, he stated:
This had not been revealed until this moment. When asked by the inspector how the moment of the kisses came about, he replied:
This is not seen in the images captured by the security system when the young people were on their way to the beach.
Describing what happened in the water, he said:
Referring to his experience, he added:
- Rescue Attempt:
When asked what happened then, he responded:
He then went to collect his belongings. Since the ocean wasn't rough, she wasn't out of the water, as it was knee-deep. She was walking at an angle in the water. The last time he saw her, he asked if she was okay. He didn't hear her answer because he started vomiting all the water he had swallowed. After vomiting, he looked around and didn't see anyone. He thought she had grabbed her things and left.
He added:
- The Next Day:
At the end of the interview, he curiously said that the next day they found his things because he never picked them up, but someone had stolen his shoes and the key card to his room. When asked what happened to his friend and the other girls, he said:
The prosecutor asked him if he wasn't curious about the girl with whom he kissed on the beach, to which he replied he hoped to see her the next day. Regarding if he had heard news or information about Sudiksha after seeing her for the last time on the beach, he said:
When asked how we can verify that what he had said corresponds to the truth, he began to evade, saying:
He answered similarly to seven other questions, which included:- Could you tell us what you told your friend when he asked you about the missing girl, Konanki?
- What is your opinion about the disappearance?
- Did the young woman know how to swim or not
The seven questions (previous disclaimer applies, omissions may be present) :
Finally, he was surprised when asked about his reaction upon learning of the events, noting that he did not remember how long they were on the beach (because he did not have his phone) or how long they were in the water. He further added that, during that time, “we had had BCA with Seven and a couple of tequila shots.”
- Could you tell us what you told your friend when he asked you about the missing girl, Konanki?
- What is your opinion of the disappearance?
- Did the young woman know how to swim?
- Do you recall if the young woman made any gestures or screamed while in the sea?
- Did you inform the authorities or the hotel of what happened to you and the girl on the beach?
- Did you tell your friend what happened?

I agree they should be proactive but DR administrations are reactive. They have to touch the stove before they realize it’s hot.
After the above transcription and this mornings' NY Post article, one has to wonder how much more guilty this young man could appear. In my 20 years in DR I've seen folks even detained for taking a candy bar from a Colmado because some old rummy said he saw something, among other clearly shakedown-style situations. A French kid renting next door to us in a certain Samana town spent 4 days in jail due to curfew violation until he paid 50k pesos fine, but not in the Fiscalia, directly to the precinct! It is mind bending how this kid isn't being held after that stunningly embarrassing 4th version of events.
The Polymarket would be having a field day with the odds of Riibe's guilt if it was deemed ethical to carry them.

That is a FASCINATING READ ..
So he SAVED her , sharing Many Details of how he did it and how he struggled .
But Then, she being the Unappreciative BRAT that she was , she just walked off into the Darkness ? , and then he passed out ,
and then casually walked back to his Hotel Room when he came to.
Like this is just a Normal day for him ?
That is one Whopper of a Story . I wonder if he Actually Told that Story, and they got it all on tape .
