NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The police commissioner is defending the work of officers,
as the family of an American man and U.S. media question the investigation surrounding the suspicious death of an American citizen at the Atlantis Resort.
Police Commissioner Shanta Knowles says they’re sticking to the facts of the investigation.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Domestic Violence Unit opening this morning, Commissioner Knowles says she understands why a family would have doubts, but she insists they’re doing what they can.
The 23-year-old was vacationing with his parents and had just checked into Atlantis on Paradise Island around 8:30 p.m. on April 4th.
After dinner that night, his parents said he went for a walk and never returned.
Worried when he didn’t answer calls, the family grew increasingly concerned. The family says around 5 a.m. police contacted his mother to say Dinari had been found unresponsive on the beach.
But for Dinari’s family, the investigation is not enough.
On Friday, the family, holding a press conference with Attorney Keith Seymour, where his mother, who works as a nurse, says there are several inconsistencies in the case and the family now plans to seek an independent autopsy.
The story was carried on several U.S. media outlets including FOX, NBC News, and The New York Times.
It’s not the first time our police have come under scrutiny from international media for missing person cases and suspicious deaths.
Most recently, was missing American Taylor Casey, who was last seen at a yoga retreat on Paradise Island.
