the text above just says the car was found in cabarete and there are various people detained in this case.

The text itself does not indicate whether the people in custody were found together with, in or around the car. The two pieces of information are given separately. Conceivably they may have found the car after someone reported an apparently abandoned car, while the arrests may have occurred separately before or after the car finding.

From Crime Stoppers - "Three men have been sentenced to one year in custody in prison awaiting trial for the death of American Anthony (Bob) Thomas and Audrey Tromp and 1 year custody in prison awaiting trial for the death of Canadian Lynn Sabloff. The suspects are Jesus Ma de la Cruz Guzman in Nagua and Joel Ml. Almonte (Gago) and Victor A. Polanco Rosario (Rodolfo). Although this will not bring the victims back to us, it will offer closure and get 3 suspected murderers off the streets."

This is very good news. I have heard there may be a fourth but will try to find out more information on this. Just glad to know these 3 have been caught!

This and the other case are covered in this DR1 news roundup report:
Cabrera "Serial killers" arrested
Police officers attached to the Central Criminal Investigation Department (DICRIM) have arrested four members of what they describe as a gang of serial killers, accused of killing a US man, a woman from Aruba and a Canadian woman in Cabrera, in the northeastern province of Maria Trinidad Sanchez province last month.
Those arrested and sent to one-year's pre-trial detention are 27-year old Jesus Maria de la Cruz Guzman, Joel Manuel Almonte (El Gago), 25, Victor Adolfo Polanco Rosario Rodolfo and Wendiso Marino Martinez.
They are accused of killing 70-year old US citizen Robert Thomas Tokarz, his 57-year old partner from Aruba, Audrey Frances Janine Tromp, and 66-year old Canadian Lynn Margaret Sabloff.
Tokarz and Tromp were both stabbed in the neck, and Tromp also sustained head injuries when three of the accused men entered their home in Los Farallones, Cabrera. Eight days later the Canadian woman was killed, also in Cabrera.
The accused have admitted to the crimes and also stole RD$5,300 in cash, US$150, a gold chain, a bag with two laptop computers, two pairs of shoes, a cell phone and other items of jewelry.
The gold chain that was taken from Tokarz was handed over voluntarily by a pawnbroker in Gaspar Hernandez who said he had paid Jesus Maria de la Cruz Guzman RD$10,000 for it. The other stolen items were discovered in some scrubland.
The accused also admitted to killing the Canadian woman, Lynn Margaret Sabloff on 8 January 2016 after stopping her when she was driving into Puerto Plata. They said they had left her body in an empty lot outside Cabrera and took the vehicle that was found in the possession of one of those arrested, Wendiso Marino Martinez Medrano. They took the authorities to the site where they had dumped the body, which has now been sent to the Regional Center for Forensic Science in San Francisco de Macoris.
DICRIM are now trying to establish whether the gang was responsible for any other crimes and if any more members might be at large.

You see, there seems to be something wrong with the "supposed" carjacking of Lynn Sabloff while she was on her way to Puerto Plata...

The lady was NOT driving, NEVER driving herself anywhere.... She had a driver, so.... what's wrong with that story...

Poor and sloppy investigation

At first the police refused to investigate, saying Lynn probably was seeing a boyfriend. (This is how the cops think) Now they have to cover their backsides, even though she doesn?t drive, because this is getting national attention. The same goes for the cadaver, in an advanced state of decomposition, which was discovered several days after Lynn disappeared. I hope the town comes together and demands a full and proper investigation and we find the truth.

You may have misunderstood. As far as I can see, it is THE ROBBERS who say that they intercepted her. The police is just relaying that info. They are not saying that they necessarily believe it. And it wouldn't change matters too much from a legal PoV, since apparently they have admitted to the crime (however they did it).

Now, if your point is that somebody else did it, that is another thing. Unless the police shows video of the crime as it was being committed -- video which probably does not exist --, there will always be people who disbelieve the official version, not matter what.

My point is that the police didn’t/won’t do anything more than the minimum. My feeling is that they botched this so bad, that now the facts have to change to fit their story. Both the “car jacking and the 3 month old cadaver. Lynn couldn’t drive down her driveway without having an accident and surely not the main road to POP. If it weren’t for a number of great citizens in Cabrera who protested and got the Santo Domingo TV news outlets interested in covering the story, these thugs would probably still be roaming the streets. None of this brings Lynn back, but it would be great to give the family closure.

What exactly do you want?

If you believe these people are guilty (and it seems they are since they were found with her car and other stuff) what is your problem?

You want a play-by-play description of how they did it, is that it?

Fact is the only ones that can give that description are the perpetrators themselves, and apparently they have given it. But you don't believe it, right?

Supposed they took her at or near her home (instead of the road), and took her with the vehicle. How would that change things for you or them? How would that change the fact they are guilty of murder?

I don't really think her family needs a play-by-play description; just that the perpetrators be punished according to the law. Don't you agree?

Maybe the Real story ? Any defense lawyer will poke holes in that story and then... here come reasonable doubts....here goes your conviction.
Usually, prosecutor has to build his case on hard solid evidences. If something does not work, then all the case will crumple down...

If you know the "real story", what are you waiting to tell the world?

And do you have the complete police file for this case? Please, post it somewhere and tell us how to get it. You see, the rest of us have only read a couple of PARAGRAPHS about the case. And we have not assumed that those few paragraphs contained ALL the police knows about the case. Furthermore, there may still be an ongoing investigation.

In case, you didn't know, it is NOT the police that makes the legal case against the suspects, but rather the public prosecutors, and it takes some time before they do so. It's roughly the same in most countries, believe it or not.

For the time being we have a CONFESSION by the perpetrators themselves who have ADMITTED that they are guilty of the MOST SERIOUS CRIMES (without any deal with the authorities) and who have been found with substantial incriminating evidence, including the victim's vehicle, and who apparently led the authorities to her body.

If that isn't good enough to you, I am sorry. Yet, it's a lot better than what a lot of people get (anywhere), who never get to see the murderer(s) of their loved ones caught, and in some cases never get to know what became of their loved ones, who end up just added to a perpetual "missing persons" list.

For examples of such cases, you may look at a CBC's compilation of UNSOLVED CRIMES in Canada. Should Canadian authorities request help from the Dominican police?
