I think they were a couple walking to dinner in Porto Cupecoy. There are so many people walking in that area during the day. Perhaps they were unaware of the risks of walking in that area after dark. I would also be concerned about getting hit by a car in that area day or night. Also, she was carrying a purse and most of our friends no longer carry purses in SXM. We have been using wrist wallets for years. They look like wrist supports, but they are wallets. We carry some money, credit card, and license in these wallets. This is why forums like this are so important so others are aware to be vigilant and safe at all times to avoid becoming victims while on vacation.
