Hi Dana, I am the editor here at ICR News, and I assume you must be speaking about other news outlets. We have never posted a single photo of Sondra in a bikini; we mention her charity work in every story, usually in the first sentence or paragraph; and we have never once stated that your hotel rents rooms by the hour or that it is some sort of “swingers’” hotel. As well, we have never, in any way, even implied that the victim is to blame. That has come from other media outlets, not here at ICR. Those who read ICR on a regular basis have come to know us, in fact, for being extremely impartial to the news we report.

Thank you for comment, and please feel free to drop us a line privately at editor@insidecostarica.com .

There are bad areas in every city in North America. If you go walking through them looking like a prosperous naive tourist, you’re probably going to come out of them looking like a robbed or mugged tourist. Especially if you wander around at night when the wild side comes out to play and prey. Costa Rica is no different than any other place, except there are more tourists here than most places.

Most robbers and muggers are flat broke poor, no matter where they live, so “everybody” looks like a rich target to them. My wife and I are white-haired non Tico-looking retirees who have lived here for 3 1/2 years with no crime problems at all. We just exercise the same common sense precautions here as we did living in North America.

I am the hotel owner and guess what, in the 4.5 years I have owned it, I have never rented rooms by the hour. It is not an hourly hotel. This was Sondra’s not first time at the hotel with her boyfriend. The staff and I are saddened and shocked by her murder, but the press does not print things like that, it thrives on sensationalism.
Perhaps it is time to show a little respect to her family. No mention of what she was currently doing with her charity work, just pictures of her in a bikini.

“generally a good person”?
Seriously, what is wrong with you?
Please tell us all what you do to make the world a better place.
Go ahead and list the charitable organizations that you selflessly give your time and money to.
Better yet, what is the name of the organization that you founded to help underprivileged Ticos access better medical and dental care.
I’ll send a check today!

I don’t know you and by all you’ve said..I wouldn’t want to!!! One thing I do know is that her mother and father and only brother are devasted by the nightmares in their mind of how their only daughter and only sibling lived her last moments of life!! I know them and they most certainly are a very good family..and here she was in a country trying to raise money to get medical and dental help for the children there….a woman helping many…murdered for what?? A credit card?? I hope he rots in hell!!!

Just shut your hole you dumb fucking monkey. Defending a rapist and murderer. Your karma is having the samething happen to you. You’d probably enjoy the rape part though. Heck you’re probably in Costa Rica for the child prostitutes. You have that look about you, you piece of shit.
