Hijo just a question, are familiar with that area? From the Hard Rock all the way down to the Occidental Caribe (Riu Republic is in between) it is a wide-open beach area, no coves, nothing really. Security is normally out there fairly early before sunup moving beach chairs etc... It would not surprise me at all that they went into the water, wave came, and she could not get out. Like I said maybe he thought she came out, but like you said until they find her nothing is for certain. I should add that believe it or not you can find passed out people on beach chairs. Too much drinking, they pass out, wake up in the morning when people start coming to the beach.
