"I can't imagine any sane parents letting an attractive young woman with no sense of the real world travel to these dangerous places of bizarre culture and minimal moral law."

This "dangerous place of bizarre culture and minimal moral law" is MUCH safer than most if not all college towns. What sane parent would let there kid go to a town where there was a murder within the past year? What sane parent would let their child go to a place where it's possible for people under 21 to drink? If a parent doesn't think those things go on in EVERY town in the US they aren't sane. This was an unfortunate isolated incident. Some of the self-righteous comments on these threads are almost unbearable.

Exactly! Can't imagine an ADULT going along and allowing these kids that much space...unless they went for the same reason...to get drunk and.....? Saying that there were mistakes made does not make her death less tragic. Thank God my daughters survived their teenage years, however I played a small part in this. When I was 18 I would have jumped at the chance to visit an island where I could drink, gamble, and chase girls but my folks would have vetoed that plan. Parents...take heed and learn from this senseless murder, before another kid is lost.

Agreed here.
