No, not al people with Bulimia are skinny. People with anorexia are skinny but Bulimia is just a habit of over eating or binging then purging. They can be any shape or size.

Tayla's sister has made a heart felt update confirming that the body found is that of her sister. Most of her upset and anger is being directed towards insensitive comments on social media. She is also furious that the media released the finding of the body within 10 minutes of contacting...

Thank you for that link to how Alcohol may affect you around water. The two of them were visibly drunk and vomiting on the evening. I think it's completely plausible that what he says happend is in fact what happened.

I agree and can see how your own story relates so closely. Thanks for sharing it. I can't believe how many people here really want this to be more sinister. Anyway, I'm with you on this one but maybe we are both wrong- who knows.

I'm so sorry, it wasn't meant to be a personal attack. I did act foolish when drunk and I did put myself in dangerous circumstances. When sober I am a completely different, straight laced, conservative and sensible person. I really am sorry for offending you as it really wasn't the way I wanted...

Drunk people might leave their drunk friend. OMG were you never young and foolish. When I think back I am so lucky to be alive for all the rookie errors I made, including late night dips in the ocean where the water was known to have frequent shark visits. Alcohol and responsible behaviour do...

My husband is a native Spanish speaker but has been speaking English for the past 50 years. So often when we have his relatives visit he tries to translate but he obviously has difficulty in choosing the right words. Sometimes he just says, "it doesn't sound right in English."

Thank you for pointing that out about having her in front of him. I didn't know that but it makes sense. If he was a lifesaver at the pool he would know this information.

Thank you for providing this quote. Sorry to all the people who want this to be something more sinister but I find that story very believable. An absolute tragedy in itself but very believable. In actual fact this young man was being heroic in his rescue of her. They were both blind drunk and...

I don't think he was saying that she was going back to the water. I think he meant that they were swept out to sea, both struggling for their life, when they got back to the "beach", perhaps where their feet could touch the sand, he was further in than her. He had performed his lifesaving move...

Apparently in the first three police interviews there were different translators used for each. The claim is that they translated things slightly differently. Think of the saying "lost in translation." What I mean is that we have not heard the exact words he said in English. That is his language...

4:05 They were both vomiting at the bar. 4:15 Walking behind the group of friends - Riibe with his arm around Konanki. 4:55 Two of her friend seen returning to hotel. 5:05 Her 3rd friend and Riibe's friend returned together to hotel. 8:54 Riibe seen walking back to hotel slowly, barefoot and...

I also think that he may have just saved himself and is feeling ashamed of that.

Innocent until proven guilty. I would like to give this young man the benefit of the doubt until more verified details come through. I think his version is quite plausible and we don't really know the exact words he has said to the police. As other people have mentioned, he may have been...

He may well have been recognised on the day as being there but so were thousands of other people on that very hot Australia Day at the beach. He was never named as a suspect until decades later so nobody was thinking "Oh yeah, I saw Harry Phipps that day." He just wasn't on the radar.
