Girl Missing from RIU Hotel in Punta Cana

I would guess there is also the possibility of a civil suit in the US if he is not charged or found guilty in the DR. Even if her body is found and an autopsy shows death by drowning.

Maybe but I doubt it. If her body Is found and the autopsy confirms she drowned and there is no evidence of foul play, then that’s an end to it. Her family could file a civil suit in the US against the young man to prove negligence but that would be extremely difficult given where it occurred and the PN’s chaotic investigation.

If her body is found and drowning is the definitive result, the family will get their much needed closure and, I suspect, close ranks to limit media scrutiny. The last thing they would probably want after the loss of their daughter, is long drawn out litigation proceedings in the US broadcasted by media outlets.

I don't expect her body to ever be found. I am only 99% confident on that.

Every country has mechanisms to detain people. O.J was locked up until trial, Bill Cosby and even P.diddy who is close to being a Billionaire is/was locked up.

True, the prosecution was able to show they needed to be held and they could not overcome it. It seems that if one is caught up in the DR in something serious as a suspect, there is no leeway as a non-citizen but to be locked up?

The extradition agreements with the DR also make this possible.

See link in post #615, I don't think it will happen in that very recent case from the same general area, there is no squeaky wheel, no grease will be applied even though it ought to be a very big deal. Riibe's family is raising serious legal issues about the PN. Yesterday it was a hypothetical possibility, now its reality. If they were not prepared, they will be caught flat footed.

I would guess there is also the possibility of a civil suit in the US if he is not charged or found guilty in the DR.

Jurisdiction and venue issues with little or no nexus to the US to the event. Maybe in a State Court in the right state, but a very long shot, not, many states have what is a "long arm", because he admitted to trying to save her they may have a possible claim but his family is already challenging the interrogation and its legality. Darryl's case being a good example.

He didn't do it . kid just went for a swim with her and got hit with a big wave.

This is a very unfortunate thing that happened but it happens the water is very rough there also the police had them at the station a few times roughing him up trying to get him to confess the kid wouldn't do it now he's law up I truly believe the kid didn't do it if you ever swam by that hotel you know how ruff the water is.

I don't believe the body will turn up now it opens hotel up to lawsuits the l
now its all about the cover up and how to make this go away

RIP

Every single thing you said ..
I , and other people feel the exact Polar OPPOSITE is what really happened,
Especially after his Bogus HERO who Saved her Story
If you bothered to read it ? it speaks Volumes . this guy is a Legend in his own mind .

but yes, we are all entitled to our own opinions . until this is solved, if it ever is .

There were 4 tourists who just drowned there (RIU) in January.

Which would make it a great COVER Story .. No one has pondered that yet ?
I assumed everyone had .

 

[banzai]

If...what was the motive?

Yes this guy clearly selected RIU and planned on murdering a girl.....using the recent drownings as a slick cover story.

Yes, because every Murder/ Manslaughter is " Pre meditated"
Brilliant deduction..
you win .

Where's Windy, he may be right this body many never be found at this point. If she had drowned the body should have been found by now. Our cornpone cousin breeder in no way had some sort of coordinated group of DR underworld thugs at his direction to pull off a murder and disappear a body. The redneck buddy definitely knows more than has been made public as well. Some machete wielding, dog and cat eating Haitian would in no way stumble upon this brain surgeon on the beach and offer to partake in a murder and coverup as they had no confidence potato boy would not rat them out later. Unless he gave them a few thousand dollars even thug Haitians wouldn't get involved, they only watch out for their own really. The hotel power outage is really odd and most likely was a factor in many things not being seen.

Where is the body? It's not in the water, that's for sure. It's not like this was MH370 where folks had to search over continent-sized chunks of ocean.

One does not exist.

Sir Kyle, the suspicion arises because millions of tourists visit and vacation in P/C every year. That many get drunk and do foolish things. Rarely does someone drown. When they do their body is recovered and there may even be a witness. Add in chubby boy, flip-flopped on his stories and waited half a day to report the death of an innocent college girl and there you have the public interest. It is such an anomaly is why so many resources are being used to investigate the tragic event. I would bet more people die from gorging themselves at the breakfast bar, drinking beer, liquor and eating 100 buffalo wings for an entire week only to return home and have a heart attack in the tattoo studio.

Predators don't need a motive, unless the motive is just being a sick predator. How many stories of college parties where girls were raped? Too many. My best guess is the boy got too aggressive, wrestlers tend to be a short fused, aggressive breed btw, and he used brute force as he panicked, probably leading into the untimely death of the young lady.

 

[El Hijo de Manolo]

How do you know. I assume you meant to say "IMO, there doesn't seem to be sufficient motive".

Yes, and don't overlook that there is no record of potato boy reporting this voluntarily. The first we see is when police questioned him sometime after 6pm that day, he gave his first fabled statement. I believe it was the girlfriends that raised a flag with the front desk.

Humor or your personal problems aside, you have been claiming that the young lady "obviously" drowned. You have also consistently used cheap shot comments at other posters who feel this may be foul play. That said, please provide a simple bulleted response with your personal supporting evidence to back up the drowning story. How do you know they were even in the water?

 

[jd426]

Does the DR have any Abductions/ Kidnappings , in this Area ? Some News Source "experts " are now speculating that a drowning of any Kind , Accidental or otherwise, is very unlikely and that a Kidnapping or abduction is a very real possibility since no body has turned up yet , and should have.
And If you believe HIS Story , an Abduction is not mutually exclusive .
Question is who would be there and what Motive to Kidnap her .
In this case the Hotel Security would be at fault .
Has such a thing ever happened at Punta Cana Resorts
We know it happens a lot in MEXICO ,and Drug Cartels even shoot it out on the beach .
The Media is really hammering the DR on this .

Drowning is the 2nd most common death, while vacationing in Caribe, first being Cardiovascular diseases heart attacks stuff like that.
