No one has said this. There is zero circumstantial evidence for someone to be able to make that statement. Can we consider he may have done highly not Kosher things? Absolutely. What members have posted is that the boy's conflicting accounts and subsequent movements later that morning, are indicative of someone not telling the truth.
You are full of it. YOU said in an early post that you believe he violently killed her. I won't waste my time looking through all the theories and different nonsense you posted to find it. But I bet a Moderator can...............

Have you ever been to that beach? You cannot swim most days at that beach even in the daytime. They put up a red flag and life guards are there to see to it no one goes out past a few feet from shore. Drinking and driving is dangerous, drinking and going into the water here at 5 AM is deadly........................

That red flag flies often

Kind sir, I have done my best to be objective and calm in my debate style. Folks take time to write posts. We should respect that and actually read them. If you read my post 778 I think as my response to KC, I really can't be more objective or clear in my position. You are very emotional and angry and I get that.

I'm replying to you because at least I know you come from a place of emotional stability and reason.

Any party in this absolutely should seek legal counsel, that shouldn't even be in question.

Is it possible the young lady drowned? You bet. Is it possible that the boy tried to save her and had to basically give up due to fatigue or sheer exhaustion? Yes. That does not, however, trump the fact that the boy gave multiple conflicting accounts to police and made the mind bending decision to walk past the front desk in light of reporting the events and going straight to his room and sleep it off. There is no investigator whether PN DICRIM, FBI, Interpol or otherwise private, that would not be weighing this against the boy's credibility. Furthermore, not only did he not report this, he only gave the first account when questioned by police later in the early evening that same day.

Sure, it's possible the young lady was intoxicated and drowned, but from an investigation standpoint, the boy's actions and stories leave significant doubt, enough so to keep the investigation going and him detained.
I agree, changing versions of what happened would cause some suspicion. I just do not know how accurate everything we are seeing/reading on the news, social media is. Curious, what was he supposed to tell the front desk? That they went into the water and had some issues, even though it is frowned upon by the hotel to go into the water at night. Basically, they are going into the water at their own risk. At this point didn't the guy think she (victim) had come out of the water and gone back to her room? Wonder if he was drunk to the point that he does not really remember everything that transpired and is adding in what he "thinks" happened? But again, I agree with some of your points.

Why not? He was drinking and still thought he was OK. He was with the girl, they both go in. Only he swims a lot better than her. Just a tragedy. But to say he violently killed her for no reason is totally ridiculous.................

Where did I say he " Violently killed her , for no reason" ?
Can you site the Post ?
You asked for a Motive.. we said a Hundred times " if she resisted his Advances"
Do we have to draw you a picture ?

again, you did NOT answer the question.. you just mis directed and answered with another question.


He may in Fact, have gone in ..she may have gone with him.
but WHY .. we are asking
to enjoy a "swim" in the Rough Ocean ? to show her what a good swimmer he is ?

Even in the Middle of the day 90% would NOT do this ..when its that Rough .
Drinking alone does not make it sound more plausible.

Were the other People who drowned also DRUNK when they drowned ?
Did any of them drown at NIGHT or Early AM ?

More questions, asked earlier , which you IGNORED

Once again, to be clear. My theory. I can only speak for myself. My theory is the kid committed a violent crime, panicked and left her there, perhaps dead or unconscious. He came back and had to strategize an alibi. He "may" have had help in the cover up. That's it.
Here it is read it and weep..........................VIOLENT CRIME. Your Post, not mine..........Post 210

Fair enough. Again, however there is no investigator that would not hold these things against his favor. An investigator is open to any/all possible outcomes, and gives more weight to those with evidence. All outcome debates are really moot at this point until other witnesses come forth, more circumstantial evidence is presented or the young lady's body is found.

It is in fact a possibility that Riibe committed a violent crime. Yes. It is also possible the young lady drowned because she couldn't handle the water conditions.

It was not a possibility when you posted it was your theory..........A little tough to talk your way out of this...........

Breathe my brother, breathe. I am reminded of this quote. This is my gift to you today. God bless you sir:

“All mystics, Catholic, Christian, non-Christian, no matter what their theology, no matter what their religion, are unanimous on one thing: that all is well, all is well. Though everything is a mess, all is well.”

--Anthony de Mello, Awareness

Yes. That's my theory. That's my take. I don't know what your point is or how this viewpoint discredits me.

Not to make another Comparison with the Halloway story, but you know there were People who also thought Van Der Sloot was just an INNOCENT KID caught up in it all , and she was just mysteriously missing.
Not until he killed that 2nd Women in another Country , did it become crystal Clear to them .
Not saying this kid planned out to harm her.. Not at all, it could very well have been accidental.

But How NAIVE people can be sometimes, even in a very OBVIOUS Case, and van Der Sloot was VERY Obvious to some of us .
Have seen plenty of guys get violent and threaten Women when their Advances are rejected.

That is my theory. I do not retract it. In fact, I am doubling down on my bet.

On your bet. Well I have a proposition for you that every member that posted on this topic will love. In 6 months time from now if you are right and he is in fact charged with murder not even convicted but just charged with murder I have to pay 1,000 pesos to EVERY member that posted in this topic as of today. If he is NOT charged with murder in 6 months than you have to pay EVERY member that posted 1,000 pesos .

This is just a friendly way to keep DR1 interesting. Is it a deal?......

No deal. But nice try. You will not turn this situation into a circus stunt. Shameful, just like your victim blaming!

If this young bloke stopped by the front desk and reported that his swimming partner was in distress this would not even be in the news. However, he decided for whatever reason to take the attitude "it sucks to be her" and went to sleep. Then decides to give the P.D the run around.

I agree buy it’s window dressing Jose949. Generated by ever increasing national and international media coverage and the poor PN initial response. Probably ordered by Abinader to give the impression justice is being done. in the DR, things are never as they seem.
True Ecoman1949, nothing is conventional in the DR at that and many other levels. I wouldn't want to be in her shoes, relatively new to the position and expected to have a "wave the magic wand" type of outcome. Tomorrow may bring about a key development or maybe not.
