A loose translation of a few paragraphs:
Reny's father Jose George said that he did not receive a satisfactory response from the Rice University administration... The twenty spring breakers reached PCB in five cars. The father said that soon after Reny was reported missing, sixteen of them went back to Houston. Only four remained in PCB and even they gave conflicting information.
Police have been really cooperative in the investigation, JG said. But, since they found no further information on Reny's whereabouts, the family reached out to the Rice University administration. They were not receptive and their apathy shocked the family.
JG also said that there is something weird about Reny's roommate (a good friend)'s behavior. His answers sound like they were influenced by someone else. JG does not understand why this student, who knows him very well, is treating him like a stranger.
Reny's family believes that the people who were with him know more and that there has been foul play. Thus, they hired a lawyer in PCB and a private detective in Houston. Rice university cannot fall back on its responsibility, JG says.
