OK, this really rubbed me the wrong way.... You can't possibly blame an entire island because of what a few individuals did.
That is the same as Europe holding the entire USA, or the entire state of Florida responsible, for the European tourists that were killed there in the early/mid nineties. (I think they were mainly Germans).
Like I said earlier. The island is truly feeling for her family and friends, and why wouldn't they? Wouldn't you feel terrible if anyone from out of town disappeared, and is feared dead where you live?
