A foreigner was killed in Puerto Plata and his body transported to Bonao in an SUV, an incident for which several suspects have been arrested for investigation purposes.
According to reports, the victim's lifeless body was found inside a Suzuki XL7 SUV, license plate G628806, which had been transported from Puerto Plata to Maimón, Monseñor Nouel with the body inside.

WTF !

Social media is saying the victim's name is Selby Jhon Ross.

Saw this earlier report in local news group, with a photo show the body lying in water
Attention: Lifeless body found in the Hatillo dam, Maimón, Monseñor Nouel.

Today, authorities reported the discovery of a dead body in the Hatillo dam, located in Maimon, Monseñor Nouel province. It is presumed that the victim is originally from Puerto Plata, although work is still being done to confirm his identity.

This fact is being investigated by the corresponding authorities, while they await more details about the case.

Very sad and alarming.

EDIT : Not Bonao, it was in Maimon, Monseñor Nouel

Jhon is not a typical American spelling.
Maybe from South America?

Jhon is a common Dominican spelling for John. You’ll meet many people called John and once you’ll see the name in writing and viola, it isn’t John but Jhon! Kind of like this person everyone called Mee-sha-elle and one day saw his name in writing… Michael. There went my belief it was a very unique name invented by his mother. 😬

Now Selby I never met a Dominican named like that. Ross could be the last name of some Dominicans, but it would be accompanied with a Spanish first name. In fact, there is a once famous turn infamous Dominican after it was discovered he was molesting his daughter or niece, Pablo Ross.

Chances are high Selby Jhon Ross wasn’t Dominican and his/her passport probably says Selby John Ross.

Actually, I never heard of anyone named Selby. Could be an actual invention by the mother! In that case, could be Dominican. Who knows!

True that Jhon is a common Dominican misspelling for John. I call it the letters from a hat naming system for kids here.
Just make up a name it get it close to sounding what they think it should sound like. Inventions abound.

Selby could be Shelby. Might we have Shelby John Ross? Still an odd name...

They pronounce my name Mee-Cha-elle . Not once have I heard Michael pronounced Mee-sha-elle.
(I tell them my brother is Kal-el )

Certainly more detail is needed if bodies were found in a car and by a dam for one single murder.
Seems like a poor attempt at hiding a body if two are found.

HECHO MACABRO CON ORIGENES EN PUERTO PLATA, ¡SANTO DIOS!
Mire la horrible historia

De acuerdo al Medico Legista actuante la causa posible de la muerte fue a causa de SHOCK HIPOVOLÉMICO POR HERIDA DE ARMA DE FUEGO, CON ENTRADA MESOGASTRIO Y SALIDA EN REGIÓN COSTAR IZQUIERDA Y HERIDA CON ENTRADA EN CUELLO DERECHO.
Las investigaciones arrojaron de inmediato que los posibles autores del hecho son los nombrados ADRIAN PÁVEL DE LA CRUZ DIAZ de 21 años de edad y ELOÍSA SANTIAGO RIVERA, dominicana de 30 años, ambos residente en la manzana 10, casa #18, Barrio Haití, Puerto Plata, pero la fémina residente en Bonao.
POSIBLE HISTORIA DEL HECHO CRIMINAL

Resulta que al llegar donde la madre ELOISA DIJO LO OCURRIDO, se afirma que el padrastro de esta llamó a las autoridades policiales, siendo arrestados ambos más más tardes, por miembros de la Policía Nacional.
Resulta que al registrar el vehículo en presencia del fiscal actuante y el técnico de la Policía Científica, se encontró en el interior una cadena de color Dorado (oro), Gruesa, una Gorra color Gris, un pal de GUANTILLAS, color Negra con Gris, un teléfono marca LG, color Rosado, una sandalia de mujer, color Cremas, con el nombre Balenciaga, una uña Postiza, una carpeta con dos matricula de vehículos y un pasarte Americano a nombre del occiso y varios documentos personales, también en poder del occiso al ser registrado se le ocupado en su bolsillo una cartera de color Negro, marca Balenciaga, conteniendo en su interior una licencia americana y una cedula Americana, una tarjeta visa color Negro, un celular marca TECNO y color Amarrillo con Plateado.
Mientras que al ser registrada la detenida le fue ocupado en su mano derecha un teléfono celular marca IPhone, color Blanco, modelo XR.
En cuanto al cadáver fue enviado al INACIF, en la ciudad de Santiago, para fines de autopsia.
Por otro lado Miembros de la Subdirección Regional de Investigación Norte, P.N., Puerto Plata, se trasladaron a la dirección donde residía el hoy occiso, en compañía del Magistrado Procurador Fiscal Licdo. Pedro Antonio Melo Pichardo y Técnico de Servicio de la Unidad de Procesamiento de la escena del Crimen, P.N., donde se realizó un levantamiento y se pudo determinar que la muerte de JOHN ROSS SALBY, no fue ocasionada en ese lugar, se colectó el DVR, marca HILOOK, Color Negro, de las cámaras de vigilancia de dicha residencia y al conectarlo se pudo visualizar de que a eso de las 14:01 horas sale de la casa el occiso y regreso a las 17:55 solo, luego a eso de las 18:28 horas, llega la nombrada ELOÍSA SANTIAGO RIVERA, y entra a la casa, más tarde a eso de las 22:43 horas, llega el Nombrado ADRIAN PÁVEL DE LA CRUZ DIAZ, y entro a la casa a las 22:47 horas, todo de fecha 07-02-2025, y encañona al hoy occiso con un Revolver y se observa cuando estos le estan reclamando que le busque el dinero y empiezan a rebuscar en el apartamento y luego salieron la Victima y los victimarios a las 23:28 horas.
Hasta el momento no esta claro donde murió la víctima, por lo que los posibles imputadas podrían ser procesados en bonao.

Fabio to the rescue with a bit more detail. I guess the guy shoulda paid:

MACABROIC FACT WITH ROOTS IN PUERTO PLATA, HOLY GOD!
Look at the horrible story
Being at 11:AM this Saturday, via telephone the Regional Deputy Director of Investigation Cibao South, P.N., Bonao, informed of the finding of a corpse on the bank of the Migajita River, close to the Hatillo dam, Maimón and that it was the North American National who in life responded to the name of JOHN ROSS SALBY, 41 years old, who lived in Hermana Mirabal street in the city of San Felipe Puerto Plata.
According to the Coroner acting the possible cause of death was caused by HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK FROM A FIREARM WOUND, WITH MESOGASTRIAL ENTRANCE AND EXIT IN LEFT COAST REGION AND WOUND WITH ENTRANCE TO RIGHT NECK.
Investigations immediately threw that the possible authors of the incident are the named ADRIAN PÁVEL DE LA CRUZ DIAZ 21 years old and ELOISA SANTIAGO RIVERA, Dominican 30 years old, both resident in Apple 10, house #18, Barrio Haiti, Puerto Plata, but the female resident in Bonao.
POSSIBLE HISTORY OF CRIMINAL FACT
At the moment that today the occiso was in an apartment where this resided in the city of Puerto Plata and was with the named ELOISA, since about 15 days ago, as she is engaged in sexual work, this called her sentimental partner the named ADRIAN Pavel, because allegedly the occiso did not want to pay the money they agreed for their sexual service, this came to the place with such a JUNIOR, with a revolver type firearm, upon arriving at the place ADRIAN, threatened the occiso to look for the money and stayed on going to an ATM to withdraw money, riding in the vehicle brand Suzuki, color Gray, model XL-7, GLX, plate G628806, years 2023 owned by the Occiso, together with the named ELOISA and about a block began a fight in the vehicle where the named ADRIAN, caused him to be shot in the abdomen and seeing him injured caused another one in the neck, then they passed to the injured victim for the back seat of the vehicle, then handed the firearm to a JUNIOR, who left on the motorcycle with that firearm.
Act followed, they left with the corpse from Puerto Plata to the municipality of Maimón, Monseñor Nouel province, moving close to the Hatillo Dam, where they left the corpse abandoned, then they left in the Jeep, leaving it also abandoned on La Savana street in the municipality of Mimón, next to where he resides the mother of the named ELOISA.
It turns out that upon arriving where the mother ELOISA SAID WHAT HAPPENED, it is stated that her stepfather called the police authorities, being both arrested later, by members of the National Police.
It turns out that when registering the vehicle in the presence of the acting prosecutor and the technician of the Scientific Police, found inside a gold chain (gold), thick, a gray cap, a glove stick, black color with gray, a phone brand LG, pink color, a sandal of woman, cream color, with the name Balenciaga, a nail Postiza, a folder with two vehicle license plates and an American passarte in the name of the occiso and several personal documents, also in power of the occiso when registered is occupied in his pocket a colored wallet black Balenciaga brand, containing inside an American license and an American cedula, a visa card color black , a cellphone brand TECHNO and yellow with silver.
Meanwhile, when registered the detainee was held in her right hand a cell phone brand IPhone, color White, model XR.
As for the corpse, he was sent to INACIF, in the city of Santiago, for the purpose of autopsy.
On the other hand, members of the Regional Investigation Subdirection Northern, P.N., Puerto Plata, moved to the address where the victim resides today, accompanied by the Magistrate Fiscal Prosecutor Licdo. Pedro Antonio Melo Pichardo and Service Technician of the Crime Scene Processing Unit, P.N., where an uprising was carried out and it could be determined that the death of JOHN ROSS SALBY, was not occured in that place, the DVR was collected, brand HILOOK, Color black of the surveillance cameras of such residence and connecting it could visualize that at 14:01 hours leaves the house the occiso and returns at 17:55 only, then to that 18:28 hours, arrives the named ELOISA SANTIAGO RIVERA, and enters the house, later at about 22:43 hours, arrives the named ADRIAN PAVEL DE LA CRUZ DIAZ, and enters the house at 22:47 hours, all dated 07-02-2025, and escapes to today's occiso with a revolver and is observed when these are claiming him look for the money and they start searching the apartment and then the victim and the victims came out at 23:28 hours.
So far it is not clear where the victim died, so the possible accused could be prosecuted in bonao.

Another horrific DR gringo murder. My mind flashed back to similar stories posted numerous times on DR1. RIP Mr. Salby. No one deserves a fate like this. First time I’ve read anything written by the report author. Interesting writing style.

This was either a set up to rob the American or the young lady did not receive money for her services and wished that her boyfriend could help her retrieve the service fee.

Horrible atory.

Only those people and God knows what happened, for now but I am reminded of the quote which says 'You dont pay ladies of negotiable affection for sex, you pay them to leave'
Pay them what they ask. Live and learn.

This occurs with the tourist chasing women. The girl wants to get her money and the man wants it for free or wants it cheaper. What happens? Big fight or argument and the police get involved. One gets arrested and one loses more money.

I believe this guy lived here and probably knew the game he was playing....

Played the game with the wrong people.

I went down a rabbit hole looking for the person who said that (still unresolved) but found this :



The 1981 book “The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People” by Irving Wallace et al contained a chapter about Clark Gable. The key quotation in the passage below apparently was obtained from the book by St. Johns:[2]

Although the King could snap his fingers and get almost any woman he wanted, at times he preferred to go to bed with high-priced call girls. Asked why, when he could get it for free, Gable replied, “Because I can pay her to go away. The others stay around, want a big romance, movie lovemaking. I do not want to be the world’s greatest lover.”

Not saying this was the case in this case but not wanting a long-term relationship seems to be the motivation for such. Of course, friends-with-benefits might not have existed back then or might not have been widespread

“ Ladies of negotiable affection”. Love the touch of elegance it gives the profession. I’m a firm believer in the accuracy of the English language and its ability to couch certain aspects of unacceptable social behaviour in a good light.

This latest murder contains all the elements we read about numerous times in the DR1 gringo murder posts, sex, poverty, money, questionable behaviour, and a lack of common sense. A deadly mix in most cases but more so when poor people who resort to violent measures are added to the mix. He wasn’t a newcomer and should have been aware of the risks he was taking.

Friends with benefits have always existed. They’re didnt have the social acceptance they have today. Years ago the single men who engaged in sex were called different things, womanizers, Casanovas, etc. The descriptors for women were much more cruel by comparison.
