Why would you ever travel outside of the United States after what trump did?
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.
Her friends know what happened and where she is.
I hope they find her alive and well.
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.
She's dead. Another Natalee Holloway.
4 in the morning at the beach? Too risky.
Why would anyone go to one of the most violent countries in the world? Americans are truly naive
I bet you a black person murdered her.
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 !
Shark attack??
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.
So her family has money??????
This is not going to be a happy ending, but it is a cautionary tale…..again.
That's how those sinful trips end.
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.
😢😢😢 more people should consider listening to state departments warning?
Kidnapped by Haitians most likely.
ya shes gone….when will parents learn =/
So you go to a third world country and act surprised something like that happens. 🤦♀️😑
strange tourists deaths are always common in DR
Teach your kids to understand S-hole countries are dangerous
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.
Good. We don't want you people in our country anyway. If she and her parents had stayed in their country this would have never happened.
Sad to say but she belongs to DR now
SOOOOOOOO many Indians!!!! I am leaving USA!!!!!
you cannot be walking around at 3-5 am in the dominican republic, prayers for her family
They didn’t recognize her privilege.
