  1. Wow Rubii probably smashed her and the wave washed her away away from the shore- He needed to be smart and take her to his room- condolences to the family of Sudiksha Konanki

  2. Joshua Riibbe was a wrestler and a lifeguard. Why would he bring her for a swim into the ocean when there were red flags to deter swimmers?

  3. Why is it so difficult for people to understand strangers meet on vacation only to never see them again hours later? It isn’t out of the ordinary for him to assume she had just left him when he passed out on the beach after vomiting. Her own friends decided to continue on their excursions later that day even though their friend wasn’t there.

  4. IF he really did pass out..maybe she grabbed her stuff to head back and possibly someone else may be involved!?? I pray there’s a witness that comes forward with some type of information. This is a sad story and it’s crazy how soo many people go on these trips and just vanish.

  5. imagine putting in this much effort to find someone that’s not even an American citizen, but this country lets Americans die every day and not giving them even one minute of coverage but God forbid if you’re a sand person you get all the coverage you want how sad is America

  6. Just tell the truth , you sold her away. Why where you video calling when you was alone with her?

    Where are the evidence you almost drowned? No marks ,no signs of scuffle.

    You dropped her to her captors now you telling lies
