We don't know if anyone saw him on the beach that morning. We're not privy to what was said by anyone else interviewed.

I was wondering how many hotel guests even know someone went missing during their vacation? If you were scheduled to depart your vacation on Friday or Saturday, it's possible, you never even heard about it. She was reported missing late afternoon (4pm?) Thursday. Anyone on the beach that morning could have left the country before hearing anything about a missing person. Not everyone is connected to news about missing persons.
Yes I just find it hard to believe that if he was passed out between 5am-9am (-ish) that no one saw him on the beach. He wasn't that far away so i would think that part of the story would be easy to prove by now without cctv.
people would be starting work, fishing, and exercising on the beach around that time when then sun had come up. I guess my point is someone did see him i just find it strange they haven't released that information.
The hotel reported that they did not have "any visual recording" of JR before approx 8.30 when he was spotted returning to the hotel.
This would not exclude possible eye witness accounts made to authorities and not made public.
BTW, the RUI hotel offers 24 hour service and that must be justified by having to meet client needs around the clock.
Who knows, maybe there were quite a few people at the beach or at least enough, for JR not to have been noticed?
IMO

At first I thought i would not even look at who’s lying on a lounger if I were going to the sea, but then thought, if it is a light-skinned dude who probably would get sunburnt, I’d take notice.
Sadly, because the previous day after a power outage, lots of people probably went to the bar, they might have been sleeping at that time. Also, you wake up, look at the beach, see a red flag and decide against swimming. Someone’s window could have been facing the area of the beach where the guy was sleeping. The LE has to find those people and ask them if they saw him.
Also, about mosquitoes
I Googled “when are mosquitoes most active in Punto Cana?”
Here is the answer:
- Mosquito Season:
Mosquito populations tend to increase during the rainy season, which generally runs from May to November.
- Year-Round Presence:
While mosquito activity peaks during the rainy season, they are present year-round in Punta Cana due to its tropical climate.
- Time of Day:
Mosquitoes are more active at dusk and dawn, but they can bite throughout the day.
So we have: early March and early morning on the beach.
We have to ask the locals how aggressive they’d be at that time.

Weird thought/question... Could LE corroborate his story about throwing up and passing out by seeing or searching for his vomit where he did this?
So if he threw up and passed out on the lounge chair, there would be evidence he got sick there, no? Probably even DNA it's his.
I would be suspicoius if he only threw up in the ocean or on the wet beach and the ocean swept it away. I can't remember his exact words, but I got the impression he was by or in the lounge chair ready to pass out when he threw up. MOO JMO

Multiple posts have asked why no one saw JR on the beach passed out or on a beach lounger passed out since he apparently said he was.
As others have said, we don't really know what witnesses may have told LE. But it's also possible JR wasn't passed out. I am not saying he's intentionally "lying" about what he was doing. But as we've all said, he WAS pretty drunk. Whether he has memory loss can't absolutely be known. But it's pretty likely his memory for events that night was affected by blackouts or brownouts. Maybe he was wandering around and suddenly "came to" on a lounge chair near the ocean. If he can't remember wandering or what he'd done very recently, he could conclude to himself he had been passed out. And he'd report that when by LE.
Based on what little information I personally have from reading about the case, I have no reason to conclude 22-year old JR has brain damage from some sort of alcohol-induced syndrome like Wernicke-Korsakoff's. But definitely he was quite drunk that night! Black/brownouts would hardly be surprising. And as I've said before, his trying to fill in memory gaps would hardly be surprising even if to some it doesn't look exactly like confabulation or "honest lying."
MOO

It's also possible JR used the phrase "mosquito bites" without knowing whether they were mosquitoes or horseflies, sandflies, midges or other common flying bugs that bite.

Quite possible. I used to think that that was the only thing he truly remembered from the night.

It is not “mosquito season” currently in the Caribbean (as it cooler than usual at this time of year) usually that is rainy-humid season as pointed out above, but mosquitos are still out there - however…usually right by the sea & on the sand it would be sandflies more than anything, and that is usually more at dusk. In terms of staffing at the beach itself, in large all inclusive hotels in Jamaica there are always a barrage of team workers first thing in the morning doing their work quietly: beach sweeper / raker (more than one if beach is large); landscaping team to clean up anything that has been brought in by rough seas / maintenance to check on marine speakers etc / beach team crew to straighten and put chairs and covers back out early. Lifeguards on duty very early also.

Thank you very much for the insight!
I have never been to the DR but many times, to different places in Mexico. It would be interesting to know whether unattended clothing on a lounger and no one in the sea would trigger a concern or not. But maybe I am making too much of it.
Yes, workers here come in very early and scan their area of responsibility, for sure.
People responsible for the beach would take in all that would stand out to them. It is a very specific type of attention.
Thank you for this piece of information.

Hi there, no worries I have worked in tourism & hotel management in Jamaica (and before Bermuda) for many years, currently as a Jamaican living here in Jamaica I am at hotels a lot! And one of the RIU’s here is located just up the road from my house and I can attest to the amount of staff they have on that beach, morning, noon and night. I go to a restaurant there that shares a beach right beside Riu. As for items like “clothes left on the chaise loungers” - there ‘should be’ beach attendants straightening up chairs from very early, and “normally” this would fall under that team, to collect items left on chairs / beach / side tables and give them to the Front Office to keep in lost and found (if it is not obvious what room is belongs to.)
Okay this confirms what i had assumed and also experienced in Punta Cana, (although it was many years ago).
So at this point I think the hotel staff most likely were able to confirm he was or wasn't passed out in a chair. I think for liability reasons we wont know, but this was one thing i couldn't figure out about his story.

This is exactly what I was thinking about, lol!
There are always more people than loungers so leaving swimsuits of wet towels is common. This is the way to "safeguard your lounge" for the next morning, but the workers have their own system and wet clothes on loungers don't fit into it. So usually the loungers are collected and stuff left on them, goes to the "lost and found", where people retrieve it in the morning.
Granted, if the staff comes in at 6 and sees a sarong lying on a lounger, they might assume that the person is in the sea. I imagine that seeing no one around and a drunk guy sleeping next to the female clothes, they might try to wake him up and ask if he has seen anyone.
So probably JR's recollection may not fit the real situation on the beach that morning. Which of course, might be him being in a blackout, but I can understand the feeling of LE.
A woman disappeared, a heroic story which probably doesn't match the reality, and no body.
I hope they'll find her.

I am no expert but from what I could read, it seems strange her body did not resurface yet, given the high water temperatures. So whilst drowning seems indeed the most probable scenario due also to the level of alcohol in the body and the described rough water conditions, it still leaves room to doubt. JMO.

This man gives a compelling explanation for why SK’s body has not been found after being swept out to sea. Apparently you can adjust the subtitles to English (start at 9:40) but I was not able to. To all the translators who follow this thread, I would be so grateful for a transcript or even general summary!

Here's a bit of it. If you open the transcript, you can easily choose to translate to english.
Open the transcript (click more to reveal the option), highlight the entire thing, right-click, choose translate to english.
9:43
I drew to introduce it to him and explain why I understand that he doesn't know
9:48
drowned if you allow me. Okay, explain to me clearly if I had been the diver who had acted.
9:55
The first day it was said that she disappeared I would have thrown a net
10:01
The whole beach begins with the sand in the shape of a C. To the other side there is a
10:06
very wide length where the victim who is supposed to be the young woman there painted
10:12
A little doll says the victim has three options and the last one is to go to the beach.
10:17
Either you go to the right or you go to the left or you go towards the Horizon if they had thrown a freckle net and
10:24
There are many networks because there are many sinners in that area, the whole area well covered. The corpse was not going to go nor
10:30
below nor above When I say above it was if it was floating When I say
10:36
below is if she was drowned, which is called fici by invention where the corpse's lungs fill with water
10:43
drown and sink The corpse can last from 72 to 4 days Depending on the
10:51
water the salinity of the water or the temperature of the water if it did not rise is
10:57
Why didn't he drown? If the divers who searched for him didn't find him, it's because he drifted away, which I understand, assuming that
11:05
It was a crime, I'm not signing it assuming that the gentleman has
11:10
committed a crime the person can float away adrift because when Ed dies
11:16
Out of the water, the lungs are full of air and the body floats.
11:21
They immediately throw him into the water, it could be a river, it could be the sea, what will happen is that the victim will drift away?
11:29
From 4 to 5 in the morning the case is supposed to have happened, to 4 in the afternoon he is supposed to have informed someone
11:35
It's too long for a corpse to float, it goes far away, that's why I
11:41
I understand that you have not found the drones, the divers or the helicopters.
11:47
as I painted it here helicopters drones and boats because it is outside that area
11:54
body drifted away when a body drifts away fresh it may be the victim of a deprad
12:02
barracuda shark any fish that eats meat can
12:07
attack her and the body sinks as the body sinks What happens that
12:14
the bones can down to the bottom. Then you won't find it very much.
12:19
easy very difficult because if it sank 2 km over there that the body was floating a shark the In case it was like that
12:27
Because for now, as I say, she is missing, these are conjectures that one says.
12:33
and it's enough that one is saying the same things that everyone says, I wanted to do more or less one
12:39
different information I would have done that method from the same day that I was informed
12:44
He would have ordered the beach to be blocked and the body would have had to fall into the hammock like Okay, explain it like this
12:50
block the beach explain explain in detail How the beach is that the chinchorros have lead that go to the
12:57
bottom and they put a big ball on it, like a net, a net that can be made
13:03
a straight direct shape or a U-shaped shape where the body is
13:10
stuck between the beach and the net I put four divers and search in shape
13:17
direct and then I make a grid, I come from there to here and the victim has to appear obliged if he was within the network But
13:25
That only applies if they do it on the same day that it is reported that a person who is supposed to have drowned is missing. Okay.
13:33
There is another theory that you were more or less telling me behind the scenes that doesn't
13:38
It is a film of yours, that is a theory that you have taken and structured
13:44
of why anyone gets an idea Look this could have happened this could have happened and you told me how in
13:50
in case they were drinking And that and the kiss things Explain that to me
13:55
in detail Ah well as a human being as a buso I'm leaving the buso now I'm going as a human being that one had
14:03
wife and also has had the street if you have a young girl And excuse me the family I do not mean the
14:09
young lady directly and we enter into a kissing scene because we are attracted to each other
14:16
one to the other has the second step there is no need to say it because every adult knows it
14:22
I want to tell her but what happens is that the girl understands that she doesn't want that
14:27
What he wants to do is kiss and have fun with the young man. They are both good-looking, but he didn't want to.
14:33
the second part that comes after a kiss so as not to go into detail about it
14:40
Men usually refuse if we are half-brutes and half-machists.
14:45
It makes us angry, it can cause a state of
14:53
drunk perhaps a state of est
14:59
that generated the kiss because he can provoke one as he does not have a tool
15:04
to give him a there was no stone in the sand I would understand it I do not affirm that
15:11
can see her if the and the body remains with air
15:18
in the lungs and that body is floating, that is a theory that I
15:25
I understand what may have happened if there was a sun and a question, a body floating since 4 in the morning that was
15:33
It is assumed that the incident happened until 4 in the afternoon when they began the search, which I believe is still ongoing.
15:39
The boat and the helicopter were much later at 4 in the afternoon when they reported that she was missing.
15:45
eh in that time loop the body can go very far away everything depends on the current and the breeze the breeze and the
15:52
Currents are essential to determine how far a bobbing human body can drift if it goes
16:00
Deep inside it is difficult to find it, that is why you see that the helicopters search up to a few miles near the
16:08
bed to see if they find it but that is to see sometimes that they have been found
16:13
floating bodies of people who have been shipwrecked many of me have had the experience because that is what the force did
16:19
aerial as a member of the search and rescue squadron I went in helicopters for many years I did that and I got to see
16:27
victim floating in my search Okay in
16:32
in case it turns out that the theory you gave
16:38
It's real that she went there, there, there, all those hours are there
16:43
searching in a perimeter where she is not because the current has taken her too far away, what possibility is there of
16:49
find it be real if it happened So I'm going to rectify the word if it were real no
16:55
It is assumed that if that happened I am not saying that it did Yes because we are assuming everything
17:01
the world is assuming something theory Ah we don't know it could be anything it could be that he is innocent as until
17:07
Now that's what they say, he is a witness who was at the scene of the incident, but no one can say he did it, no one can say it.
17:14
You can accuse me of anything, I myself cannot accuse you. Now I eat abuse as a rescuer if they ask me for my opinion.
17:20
To help the family, it is most correct for me to say what I understand may have happened.
17:26
accuse So what happens difficult to get that body after
17:31
so many days because after that body decomposes it diminishes, it crumbles and is in a state of
17:38
very strong decomposition and when it loses the buoyancy produced by the gases of the corpse, as it decomposes it
17:46
goes to the bottom and rests the bones with what remains of the meat below the bottom another
17:52
something high with shark has eaten it in the bed place
17:59
Why Because sharks don't swallow a whole body they mutilate it they take an arm away
18:06
It takes a lot, they water it all over the piece, they leave a piece of the victim if there are two sharks it is worse because then they
18:13
a frenzy comes on, everyone wants to eat it and they chop it up into smaller pieces, because it always appears to me
18:20
It happened to me that I have gone to look for corpses where sharks have attacked them and I have found bones of that victim.
18:28
the complete body but yes found that there you confirm says Yes of course of course and
18:33
I have been diving for too many years. I have been diving for 54 years and the strength lasted 21.
