I don't trust the Dominican Republic do t go there is very dangerous I. The Dominican republic
Amen, may GOD bring more confusion and division among the enemies. Justice for the poor.
I don't trust the Dominican Republic at all this is not the first time it has happened
Why are these girls always alone? Even though she's with other girls, These country's , have men who love getting women alone with them, then we hear bad news, we had another girl go though this. same thing year's ago , stop girls from going out alone , they need to watch out for eashother, but they don't 😢
This situation seems more likley that someone from her group has done somehting too her. I live in Dominican Republic and can tell you this is very very rare. Punta Cana is a very safe place. Certain areas of Dominican Republic just liek every other country has its unsafe areas. Those areas are just like The Bronx, Chicago, Compton etc. But you dont see any travel advisories in those cities from the DHS lmfao. Im American btw and Ive lived in DR for 13 years. Ive never been robbed or been apart of anything violent. This situation seems more likley that someone from her group has donde somehting too her.
This sounds like some kind of set up for propaganda
Scary…just came back from Dominican Republic on Friday with my daughter and her Friend from Spring break trip. I was too scared letting two 19 yr old going solo on the trip and decided to go with them just to be on the safe side.
My prayers to her family. Hoping they can find her safe and sound.
DNA tests for all straight men between 15 and 55 will find the villain..
5:00 am in a foreign country by yourself as a woman? You can't make this up, can you?
The DR and Mexico should be a no go for north Anericans, they dont give a crap about us!! All they see is $.
Love how USA loves bashing other countries and warning people from traveling there. So basically this does not happen in USA? There is not sex trafficking happening here in USA? 14 years old killing cops? Mass shooting? So when are we going to warned tourists from traveling to USA?
They said she was accompany for four male friends, but I don't trust dominican youtubers.
Here we go again jogging walking alone at 5AM
Sending prayers
Why all the hate comments!! She's missing pray for her family and her to be found 🙏 ❤
Think about how dangerous Haiti is right now and then as yourself if going to the DR is a good idea. May she be safe🙏🏽
Dominicans are very nice people. The waves and undertow are very strong there. Even as a strong man over 6ft tall I was pulled under and swept off my feet a couple times. Only swim between the flags and with a life guard or people present. Rest in peace, may her memory be a blessing.
Why was he alone??? Did she travel single???
These stories rarely turn-out well. I hope & pray that she is located safe & unharmed. I will pray for a happy conclusion to this concerning-story. So many evil people with no morals, manners, or respect for life.
Ah, I have always said that Countries like Jamaica and Dominican are extremely unsafe. I don't even feel safe as a guy.
There is an update that authorities suspect she drowned in the ocean. There is more to the update please Google.
All the Americans that go missing in Dominican Republic are people that look that come from rich family
Nobody gonna say Send Americans over Dominican Republic and why we haven’t take over Dominican Republic as United States Americans could take over there also don’t make us 😂
5am ???? Smh ugh this just pisses me off… why alone 5 am on beach 😢 why God !! ? Pls bring her home. Where are her FRIENDS?? that we're with her ugh smh
We used to go to Florida and Texas on Spring Break, not dangerous third world countries.
