20-Year-Old University of Pittsburgh student Sudikska Konarki Disappears During Spring Break in the Dominican Republic

Dude could be another van der sloot.

JVS was/is a fucking genius

an evil twisted genius but a genius nonetheless

DR is no worse that traveling anywhere else in this country or the world. As with anywhere you go be aware of your surroundings & don't do risky or dumbshit.

In this case it sounds like her friends weren't really her friends & left alone with a stranger. Sometimes you have to save folks from themselves especially at that age & liquor was probably involved.

Actually, it is worse.

It is worse because people think "foreign country, they don't have guns like back home", but they never consider how they might defend against a couple of Haitians waving machetes.

It is worse because Americans typically let down their guard, assuming everyone they encounter are going to be eager, gringo pleasing friendly natives, when in fact, they are viewed as an atm on legs, destined for and deserving of the most savage financial rape that might be thrust upon them. The fact that you can afford to GO ON VACATION IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY means you are extremely well off by third world standards.

Trusting Dominicans and Haitians...does the term "fuck around and find out" mean anything to you? It applies here.

Latinos have NO mercy when a fat pocketed, naive gringo rears its ugly head.

Like flies into shit.

Yes to this but mainly it's because the cops and army are corrupt as fuck.

You sound like someone who has never left their block..lol Like I said using COMMON SENSE is key, the same shit you listed can happen to someone right here in the US in Chicago, LA, Bay Area, Detroit etc if you wander into the wrong area or hell even in nicer areas if you look like a naive fool.

Actually, I sound like someone with experience visiting, working and living in countries outside of the USA.

In poor countries like the DR, Americans, Canadians, Europeans, and Australians are prime targets for crime because they assume people from those places are wealthy. Sometimes the crime is violent.

Anybody who has spent time traveling extensively (I've only about 5-6 countries under my belt, not a world traveler by any means) would know that.

Common senses is always necessary.

This does not negate what I said. Perhaps the difference in vocabularies is an impediment to effective communication. Oh well.

This shit is sad and fucked up. :smh:
This happens quite often.

True story: about 15 years ago, I used to talk regularly with this spectacularly sexy chick I met on facebook. She was living and working in Germany, but was actually of Dominican heritage. I never got it straight how she ended up in Germany, my guess is a Dominican was her dad.

She warned me NOT to visit the DR alone.

That said, I used to visit a popular ex-pat forum focused on living in the DR.

It was not uncommon to see conversations about gringos ending up dead in and around tourist areas.

What is alarming is that there are/were neighborhoods where gringos congregated that were being targeted.

People tend to be far less aggressive in day to day interactions in every country I have visited ( I cannot speak for El Salvador), and most countries don't allow people to buy assault rifles at the local pawn shop.

This, I think, lulls Americans into a false sense of security. I actually got my stupid ass into a cab with someone I met THAT DAY in Panama once, and ended up arguing with the guy after he tried to run a scam on me. I ended up alone in a cab with a non English speaking cab driver in Curundu.

I immediately realized how FUCKING STUPID I had been, but the mistake had already been made.
I got lucky. I could have disappeared without a trace quite easily that day.

Just sayin'.
 
Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Things I take from what has been shared are..

1. Her friends are foul for letting her wonder off with a complete stranger. In a foreign country while it was still dark. A group of cock blocking black chicks would never. Well in most cases, unless they don't like the chic. Thats suppose to be girl code to stick together.

2. Alcohol and women in unfamiliar places is dangerous. Yeah, it's always cool for the men looking for drunk chicks to hookup with. But women put themselves in a vulnerable position when vultures are around. I know a girl that went to Vegas with a group of friends. One got pretty fucked up and wanted to leave with a group of guys they met. The other 3 said no, but allowed the drunk girl to leave with the men. She said they tried to stop her, but she became aggressive. So they let her leave. She showed up the next day at the hotel and didn't say shit to her friends. Unfriended them on social media. When asked why she was tripping. She said she went through some shit that night. Basically blamed them for letting her leave.

3.Prob not the best idea to be a man and leave intoxicated with a chic. Because if some shit go down. You better be able to clearly explain what happened. And as mentioned before. Even the men can be set up by locals.
 
I used to wanna go to the DR before 2020 but since 2020 all the crazy tragic stories started coming out about American tourists being poisoned or killed. That scratches the DR and Mexico off my list.
Now watch some idiot randomly pop up on this thread asking you "Do you have a passport" but they think DR is still safe down there because nothing happened to them yet.
 
Of course. Do you?
I do, dual citizenship DR and US.

You should get a passport. Punta Cana is safer than Philly just don’t go galavanting with drunk white men in the middle of the night.

I've lived here for years, outlived a lot of people that are no longer here. I know my way around philly and I've been to many parts of philly as well.

DR meanwhile is a different story, first of all, I don't talk their language, second of all, I don't like the fact women want money from men, third of all, there's been a lot of reports in DR about things being bad down there and blaming that shit on the liquor won't change a thing about it being bad over there. Also, I've been drunk as fuck a few times in my life around my friends and cousins partying and even once by myself which I still was able to get home safety or help from friends and family which I know the outcome wouldn't be the same had I've been in DR. But I'm also proud of the fact that I no longer drink anymore and have been sober for years.

That's anywhere in the world, including Philly...lol

And in terms of crime you still have a MUCH greater chance of getting robbed, killed etc in Philly than you ever would in DR.

Philly Crime been high been for years, I'm still here.

People going to the DR don't know where they're going nor can talk a different language getting taken advantage of.

Also, the cheap ass liquor they have there which people were poisoned from drinking it.

Also, with trump in office and these plane crashes happening almost daily, I'm good.
 

So he made no mention of them or her being drunk, his only reason for falling asleep in the chair was because he didn't feel good from swallowing sea water, interesting.

Dude unless you are complete moron you can easily google and find out where not to go in a place that you're visting. You can also contact the state department or local embassy. Folks right here in this country visit cities & supposedly have no idea where to & not to go..lol

Plane crashes daily? lol How many flights took off yesterday around the world & how many crashes were there?

Check BGOL with multiple threads about these planes since trump became president.

When have we seen news about all these incidents with these planes happening almost daily?

You're not gonna change my mind about DR.

Stay on the resort, it’s paradise and the staff speaks enough English. Don’t limit your life off news reports. If I did that I would think Kensington zombies was all of Philadelphia but we know better. The OP is a rare story of a pretty tourist girl gone missing and if it bleeds it leads. I can show you what the DR hood looks like and not recommend you go there. I can also show you the paradise that it is.

Don’t go here, La 42 in Santo Domingo.

Fair enough, but I'm not the only one who feels this way though about DR.

News reports do keep people informed, that could steer people away from going there or help them be aware of the dangers.

Also, there's been deaths on the resort as well with people renting AirBNB with some of these deaths being suspicious.

Also, there's plenty of other countries to visit as well that people can go to. It's just the fact they've made DR popular.

Yet, this women we don't even know if she will be found alive or not being at DR.

As someone who has traveled extensively, I concur.

What people don't seem to realize is that many of these Caribbean, South, and Central American countries are poverty-stricken. So poverty-stricken that you are a walking ATM to the hard boys. The police and courts are so corrupt and clogged criminals' chances are better robbing and killing your ass than getting a job if they can even find one. What you consider short money might be a week's or month's salary to them. And if by some miracle they are caught, tried, and convicted jail aint shit and they probably won't serve that long anyway.

Yes, keep your head on a swivel, and don't be afraid to travel but use common sense. I'd love to see Somalia but come on man.

Thank you for this message and advice..

I'll make sure to keep this as a reminder..
 
Wise words, im not sure why most people dont consider this poverty issue when they go to this countries or island and within 50ft from leaving the resort u see people living in shanty houses with aluminum roofs and no windows, how can you think that they arent in poverty and that a 20 dollar bill could feed their family for a day or two. That same person leaving the resort going into the native area is fresh meat. I learned this lesson many years in during my first trip to Montego Bay rocking my new gear and jewelry in the downtown area, i felt the eyes on me and know i needed to get back to the resort asap.

What's funny is people will argue with you all day about this shit..Yet, you and others agree about DR not being safe and how these dudes brag about buying cheap pussy in those countries. Then they want to try to compare your city with these other countries especially somewhere that people are familiar with and know their way around their own city since they've been born and raised there. Also, I never once said my city isnt dangerous but I know my way around there to avoid those parts and also there's plenty of safe spots in Philly to go to. Meanwhile people taking trips TO DR who don't speak their language and then women want money from them as soon as they get off the plane but under the same breath these dudes complain about women wanting money here in the U.S. but because DR is cheap, it makes it better..
