  1. Her family must be in so much pain right now. Waiting for news about a missing child is simply unbearable.I hope she can be found soon and continue her studies.God bless her.

  2. Prayers for hersafe return.. Parents please make your kids aware. After dark is when the predators come out. Thats in the water streets and the jungle. If they go out at night safety in numbers. Never swim at night in the wild.

  3. P.S. ! MAYBE IF SHE DIDNT GO TO A RACIST H.S. (Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology) THAT ONLY TAKES ASIANS STUDENTS , SHE WILL HAVE COMMON SENSE AND KNOW ABOUT THE HABIT OF OTHER RACES !

  4. She drowned. They ignored nature. She went to arena gorda beach which is known for its strong currents. The police interviewed an american tourist she was with and he said she was swept by the waves.

  5. I don't walk around at 3 or 4 AM in the morning anywhere in the USA. Something happened. A girl is too young to be walking alone or accompanied at that time in lonely places.

  6. Common sense is completely gone it seems. The Dominican Republic have been in the news a lot in the past few years with strange tourists deaths and illnesses. It's a no go.
