Girl Missing from RIU Hotel in Punta Cana

[SKY]

Unless the ticking time bomb goes off. Her body is discovered on a remote beach.

How long do human remains last in the ocean?


Putrefaction and scavenging creatures will dismember the corpse in a week or two and the bones will sink to the seabed. There they may be slowly buried by marine silt or broken down further over months or years, depending on the acidity of the water.

Not really true, his "new passport" would have a different control number. Normally when you get an emergency replacement passport you are provided a letter explaining why, I know this from personal experience. The only way they would know if he was a part of an investigation is if there was an impedimento de salida placed on him or they read/watch the news.

His father knows why he told him to get his lawyer. It was not a routine stop and inspection in my opinion.

I doubt that in your experience which offers useful info about the control number, that you were detained beyond a primary or secondary entry inspection even though you had the letter or that you even got to be held by HSI.

CBP and HSI have different but related roles, one does investigations. It wasn't CBP that he was talking to. They wouldn't be clueless when they were part of the investigation. Who knows what it was about, maybe he knowingly lied to a federal agent or they just wanted to talk to him in private about life in general.

Since Sudiksha Konanki’s reported disappearance, the University of Pittsburgh Police Department has been actively working with the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and the following agencies in their investigation to find and bring her home safely: U.S. State Department, FBI, HSI, DEA, and the local Dominican Republic authorities. https://www.safety.pitt.edu/alerts/update-on-sudiksha-konanki-investigation

It won't.

Agreed.

About 2 years ago ,2 people drowned in front of my house at Encuentro. 2 Haitiens workers who went swimming after their day.
Unfortunately ,I was too late for both of them .Got call by people who did not want to swim in area known for strong current. I brought back one dead body .The second body was found 36 hours later in Perla Marina . I saw fotos . No eyes anymore ,body already in decomposition .

I don't know what is the direction of the courant /waves when the drowning happened for this student.
But if the direction would be the same as here at Encuentro ,body would have being found quickly .It's not like she was swimming far from the beach.

Peace.

I disagree 100%, anyone who is traveling with an emergency passport will be subject to further review. As someone who worked for the airlines it is not unusual for anyone who does not present the same documents you left the USA with to be questioned. Again, you are giving way too much credit to CBP by thinking that his "being detained" had anything to do with the incident in the DR. I am sure when he and his father left the US Embassy, they were under the impression that the travel documents were fine. If you travel frequently then you are aware that on any given day you can be detained for the smallest thing, just depends on the agent and how they are feeling that day. Not sure what the purpose is for the link you posted from the Univ of Pitt, but nice to know.

1 in a trillion chance. It is the beyond grasping at straws stage for this incident.

 

[cavok]

He’s a US citizen. The US can’t turn away a single one even if they are arriving from Mars. lol

Did you figure that out all by yourself? Was your first clue that he had a US passport or was it because it was reported so many times in the news?
Meanwhile, do you have any information as to whether he's left Puerto Rico yet?

Not sure what you are disagreeing with exactly when you expound it to say 100%.

As a frequent traveler, I am exceedingly familiar with both primary and secondary entry inspections. Detention beyond inspection at either level even for a new or emergency passport is not normal or routine, such issues are addressed in secondary if primary is not sufficient. There is also video of HSI agents with his father, not CBP, distinct difference. The link is because you posted earlier that HSI could not have known about the investigation when they have been actively participating in and aiding Dominican authorities. In any case they have confirmed that he will be on his way home and referred to "digital media detained"

Really does not make sense to me why HSI would concern themselves about whether his stamp has an exit stamp that is placed by Dominican immigration agents. It's not HSI's job to perform quality control for the Dominican immigration department.
When I leave DR, I use my DR passport through autogate and there is no stamp. When I enter the USA, i enter on my USA passport which also does not contain a stamp. Also, as someone already mentioned, many countries do not even use stamps any more since all data is stored digitally. So there are many situations that exist for someone to not have a stamp. The stamp is only a "formality".

It seems really strange that HSI is analyzing Riibe's phone at this specific point in time.

Been there and done that. The stamps don't match up at all since I use USA passport to go to USA and DR passport go enter the DR.
They do have computer systems for keeping track of all of that...

I would have thought one of the first things they did was to analyze his phone. In fact, I think it was reported that they did(?). And the thing is, without being charged with anything, do they even have the legal right to do that now?

Here I thought he didn't even get his passport or phone back according to DR local news.

Oh well, He is home now and that is that.

Yes, they can at the border, don't need a warrant.

Under what is typically referred to as the border search exception to the Fourth Amendment, federal officers may generally conduct warrantless searches of persons and items upon their entry into the United States without needing reasonable suspicion or probable cause of wrongdoing.

very good .
Someone did their homework ..

Even Laptops .. they can even demand your Passwords , everything ...

I thought people knew this kind of stuff ..

That's the point, as far as I know, he's not. He's still in Puerto Rico. He got an emergency passport to get there.

I suppose not many know this, because only a very small percentage of travelers have that happen to them. Not a good experience if one ever gets to go through it.

My phone and laptop are always unlocked due to my lack of ability to use both machines. Comes in handy during my dozen or so secondary screenings, as the authorities don't seem interested in unlocked devices.

Yes Jose, he is on his way home or home. Time to move on.

Yes Jose, he is on his way home or home. Time to move on.

The latest information posted in 1207 is that he is spending the night in SJU and will supposedly be on his way home tomorrow. Do you know differently?
