Before the disappearance of the American College Student In the Dominican Republic, She and the last people who saw 6. Martha drank before they decide to swim in rough surfing, encourage questions about the responsibility of the resort to face.
In the early morning hours of 6. Marta Sudiksha Konanka and her friends left the hotel bar to the beach outside the Republic of Rio in Punta Cana, where she stayed with five female friends from University of Pittsburgh.
The 20-year-old obviously went swimming with a 22-year-old man named Joshua Riibe, Iowa, who was identified as a witness in her disappearance. Riibe obviously told Dominican Republic authorities that they went swimming and hit a great wave, who was last in seeing.
“I was on the Natalee Holloway back when. And although there are some similarities, there are some differences,” Chris Swecker, Former director of the FBI Criminal Division, told handcuffs for Digital. “But in this case, I think that’s probably based on everything I read, that I don’t think it’s an external assumption, based on the facts, that both were pretty drunk.”

Riibe told the police that he drank vodka with 7up and tequila, adding that a group of women was with purchased “pink tequilas” that drank as a group.
He and Konanki went to the water on the beach, while the two her friends were left on the coast. Riibe and Konanki spoke when the “great wave” hit them, Riibe said. There was a red flag warning on the beach, which indicates a warning for people not to swim in a rough surf.

“When it comes to the ocean … if you don’t regain the body quite fast, then the marine life will take care of it,” Swecker said. “And we didn’t see the body wash so far.”
Swecker, who is also a lawyer, added that he could “definitely see the question of the responsibility for the resort” in connection with the disappearance of Konanki.
“Depending on the industrial standard for such a resort, where there are enough cameras, whether people were outside the hotel due to the power failure. Should security security on the beach?” He asked.

Only two hours before the disappointment, the Republic of RIU solved almost 25-hour termination of electricity that affected about 30% of the resort, leaving some people without light, water, wi-fi or electricity in their rooms to charge the phone or other electronics.
“In response to the publications that connect the electric failure to the Republic of Hotel with a tragic disappearance of Sudiksha Chowdary Konaki, Riu hotels and resorts would sound completely unrelated,” Reservations and hotels have previously said that Fix News Digital is in the statement.
The hotel’s home company added that the efforts of the RIU republic’s staff “exemplary in terms of commitment, commitment and professionalism in resolving severe technical failure within the time and mitigation of the effects they had at the time.”

Luis Vilchez, a lawyer in the Dominican Republic, does not think that the resort will be responsible unless guests do not prove that “Hotel or employees behave recklessly.”
“If the guest was acting recklessly, the hotel would be in principle that could not be responsible.”
“Similarly, in terms of swimming conditions on the beach, it would be to show that the hotel has failed to provide adequate signaling for guests about the proper use of the beach,” said Vilchez Fox News Digital.
“If the guest did recklessly, in principle, it cannot be responsible – if the guest was swimming external for the time when no savior was on duty and despite visible dangerous signs, such as red flags indicating bad weather.”

He continued: “In this particular case I do not see the resort lawyer when two adults failed to follow the security measures established by the accident prevention. It was necessary to prove that the hotel is negligent in guidance, communicating or implementing security measures.”
Swecker said that it would be possible for the final family to sue if there is “insufficient security”, “insufficient beach lighting” or for failure to close or secure the beach while warning the red flag.
Fox News Digital reached for RIU republic for comment.
