Authorities in the D.R. only searched for Ramsey 8 days and eventually ruled her death as suicide, with little or no remains recovered, according to sources.
In March 2019, her family was contacted by the US Embassy and informed that her body had been found “hanging.”
Her son traveled to the D.R., with a bodyguard, to provide DNA to investigators.
Ramsey’s son say the family has received no answers or updates on what happened to the beloved woman.
In March, Dominican official claim Ramsey’s remains were found in “a state of bones,” near Duarte highway, in the section that connects to the municipality Puñal.
A D.R. doctor determined that the death occurred due to “choking by hanging.” It is unclear how D.R. officials reached that conclusion.
The family is now demanding answers from Dominican officials.
