Completely agree. Very scary that without any evidence of wrongdoing a person could be stripped of their passport and forced to stay under police custody in a foreign country.
BBM for emphasis. I agree that this treatment goes so far beyond what should happen in a just legal system. This is terrifying if he's innocent; if he's guilty, it could set up years of appeals. Does anyone remember how long JR was questioned before getting an attorney? How did the attorney only file a writ of habeas corpus today?
Fair point. You can check on another guest by name (They would just leave a message at the room-whatever message you want to leave), but if she wasn't registered that would not help. I suppose I attach more meaning to the word "friends" than is applicable here. They were two separate friend groups, not a group of friends.

Probably. I think that between the need to make money on tourism, the fact that the minimal legal drinking age in DR itself is 18, and the fact that Sudiksha was a holder of a green card and Indian passport (and Indian laws about drinking age significantly vary by the state), it was not strictly enforced.
Doing yard work without enjoying a cold beer would be no fun.They both over indulged. I’m curious if the reported power outage added to them consuming more than they normally would have. No power means no AC. I can imagine the humidity is high this time of year? No lights, no TV, possibly no Wi-Fi had them staying out of their rooms much later than planned. I especially feel the girls might’ve been a little freaked out being in their rooms in the dark. Hot conditions, sunburns, dehydration, boredom and simply the communal curiosity on the outage itself led them all to consume way more than intended.
Growing up on the East Coast, I can truthfully say that , yes, alcohol makes you do stupid things like walking in the water and even going for a swim while entirely intoxicated. I must admit, after my daughter's wedding and the reception, my sister, brothers and myself, fully intoxicated, decided to go jump in the waves in the ocean at night. Yeah, not one of my most proud moments. It was a miracle that we all made it back to shore. The location was right at the inlet where the currents are very strong. As it happened, we were literally fighting the waves for our very lives. Thankfully, we all made it back to shore and it taught me a very important lesson.
This article has details of what the hotel says about the power outage:Doing yard work without enjoying a cold beer would be no fun.
I think that the rogue wave, yes, I'm calling it this because I think it was exactly that. I've been caught up in a rip current and undertows many times while in the water. Undertows will pull your feet right out from under you and then a large wave hits you and throws you down. Very frightening. You are under a wave trying to regain your footing and the wave is slamming you. I've nearly drowned a couple of times in my lifetime. I think that he tried very hard to take her to shore and was nearly drowned while trying. He assumed that she got up and got her things when most probably, she was so weak from swallowing water that she was washed back into the waves.
Number one: You never go into the ocean, especially at night with sparkling jewelry. Attracts sharks instantly.
It's very unusual for college students to get separate rooms for spring break. Its a financial reason or just that they want to be with their friends.
Could probably be from both the salt water swallowed, and the amount of alcohol he consumed.
Where did you read that? I read that only 1 of the people were found. Which led me to believe that if S drowned, they likely wouldn't find her body. However, if they did find all 4 people, that makes her disappearance even more suspicious.
