The Latest Developments in the Natalee Holloway Case
Published August 16, 2005
Nichts, nada, niente.
Again--there aren't any.
Meanwhile I can report that Ms. Holloway has an outstandingly good-looking family, all of whom have been interviewed ad nauseum every night on tv. Fox is alive with her sisters, her cousins, and her aunts. O'Reilly, Hannity and Colmes and Greta van Sustern feature a Holloway relative almost every day.
They are all angry. And upset. They want to get to the bottom of this. They hope the FBI can help. They hope the Dutch government can help.
When they are not interviewing someone, speculation is rife on Fox, CNN, and the others. They interview forensic experts. They talk to policemen and prosecutors. They talk. And talk.
A suggestion to break the impasse? Why don't we take up a collection and send Cindy Sheehan down to camp outside the doorstep of the head honcho of Aruba? Yeah, that might work.

that was a worthless entry. you didnt even say anything
[Edited]
This kind of thing only enhances the horror surrounding this case. What does this post do but add to the suffering of the bereaved (thankfully, I'm sure Natalee's Mom and family do not have time to be reading blogs right now).
It was a funny post.
The media is spending WAY too much time covering this case. People go missing all the time, every day. People are killed all the time, every day.
Why is one cute young white chick from Alabama so important (in the MSM's eyes), and all the other cases so unworthy of mention (again, in the MSM's eyes)?
Greta and all the rest of the media whores have become part of the story and have ceased reporting the story.
Think not? Ask yourself why the family members are now being called by their nicknames vice given names.
Ask yourself why when a hurricane hits mainland US and Fox has to pull their Satellite truck from Aruba, why all of a sudden the family has video phones given to them so Fox can maintain direct live video contact?
Hmmmm... I'm waiting?
And while I wait for that answer, answer this. Why should anyone care about a girl who was so stupid she decided to galavant around a foreign country just hours prior to leaving said foreign country instead of planting her ass in her hotel room preparing for an early flight home?
I ws not trying to dis Ms. Holloway or her family. But-there is no news!
Meanwhile, all over the world, there is news, sometimes of a serious and disturbing kind. For example: Darfur.
News by definition should be new. The media are acting like jackasses about this.
I know August is a slow news month. But news can be found. Send someone to Botswana to find out why one in four adults has AIDS, and what is being done about it.
I just want to ask , does this girls parents bare any resposibility for what happened here? Is it not irresponsible to send a teenager to a foriegn country to drink at clubs and party till all hours of the night with no supervision. What parent in there right mind would do that , especially with a little hotty like this girl. Everyone always likes to put the blame on others in a case like this , but I beleive some of it rests squarely on the parents for letting her go in the first place, hell ,why didn't they just give her the keys to Mike Tysons room while they were at it. And many of you are correct is she was not a blonde babe we would have no story here, thousands of woman go missing in America every year. But i stand by what I said , in a day with roofies ( I do not know the spelling) and predators, and everything else, a teenager no matter how adult they think they are, are whofully unequipped to handle evrything that can confront them out there. How many of you would send an underaged daughter to go drink in clubs in another country with nobody to keep tabs on them. I believe the mother should face charges.
Why haven't a couple of Alabama's finest not wisk the Kalpoe Boys off the Island for questioning by non-Dutch non-Van der Sloot officials
i have been following the aruba case and i think its very sad that she has not been found and that no firm charges have been brought against anyone yet i hope she is found so for the familys sake and questions can be sorted out after
This case is different from other missing persons cases. This poor family is dealing with a corrupt government that is covering up some of the facts. I truly do not believe it is getting more attention just because she is white. This kidnap/murder did not happen in the US -- it happened in a FOREIGN country. That makes it very different than other missing persons cases.
MARC..YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR REFERING TO SOME ONE AS WONDERFUL AS GRETA AS "A WHORE".. SHE IS DOING SOME THING WORTH WHILE( HELPING A GREIVING FAMILY FIND THEIR CHILD )WHAT ARE YOU DOING WORTH WHILE?? PROBERLY NOTHING..AND I WOULD LIKE TO TELL ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO THINK NEGATIVE ABOUT THIS CASE COVERAGE HOW TERRIABLE I THINK YOU ARE.. WHAT IF IT WERE YOUR CHILD.. YOU WOULD BE PRAYING FOR MEDIA COVERAGE..I AM SURE!!THE ONLY REASON THIS CASE IS STAYING ALIVE IS BECAUSE OF NATALEE'S PARENTS , FRINDS AND FAMILY WHO LOVE HER AND CARE ENOUGHT TO BE PERSISTANT..THE PARENTS GIVE UP THEIR LIVES TO FIND THEIR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER..SHAME ON ALL YOU GRIPPING , NEGATIVE PEOPLE.. YOU SHOULD GET ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY FOR THIS FAMILY AND THAT NATALEE IS FOUND ALIVE... A PRAYING , CARING PERSON, FROM ALABAMA WHO HAS A HEART AND A CARING SOUL....PRAYING FOR NATALEE HOLLOWAY'S SAFE RETURN.............

Greta no doubt has good intentions. I'm sure she wants to help find Natalee.
But, she also is enjoying the increased ratings her show has garnered during this whole nightmare. Also, the beaches.
So, she is hardly acting on purely altruistic motives...
TO ALL OF YOU WHO THINK NEGATIVELY ABOUT ALL OF THE MEDIA COVERAGE FOR NATALEE HOLLOWAY- YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. ESPECIALLY, TO MARK, YOU TALK LIKE YOU ARE A SAINT- I'M SURE YOU HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING STUPID YOUR ENTIRE LIFE- NATALEE WAS JUST BEING YOUNG TEENAGER THAT HADN'T LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO LEARN FROM MISTAKES- AND BESIDES HOW DO YOU KNOW SHE WASN'T GIVEN A DATE RAPE DRUG????!!!! IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO JUST MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND KEEP YOUR STUPID COMMENTS TO YOURSELF.
Jerry and Lori--the caps can easily be turned off by simply pressing the "caps lock" button on your keyboard. Its typically located on the left hand side. This will prevent your comments from being even more annoying than they already are.
Best of luck.
What kind of woman would go away with complete strangers?????????????????????
What makes you think she went willingly ? Over there on that island anyone can stick a light on their car and call it a cab. Once they have you inside and there are THREE of them, they can have their way with you too !!!
I still can't figure out why everyone is so upset that Natalee Holloway is getting so much coverage. The poor girl has been missing for 80-odd days...and she deserves to be found. What if she's not dead...she could alone and scared, and keeping her in the media keeps her fresh in everyone's mind. Without the media coverage, people would tend to forget about her, and then, maybe, she will never be found. If I were lost, I would sure want everyone in the world to know so that the search could continue to find me...even if I were dead. If media coverage is what it takes to find Natalee, then so be it. Stop all your wussing would you? There's plenty other tv shows you can watch...if you don't like the Natalee coverage, don't watch it...simple enough. This morning I went online to find out the latest on the case and all the search engines come up with are a CRAPLOAD of sites with people complaining about the attention Natalee is getting. This is complete bullshit. Have a heart...a girl is missing...and she needs to be found.
Marc,
Remember....Greta is a very good attorney......Watch your mouth....You maybe served.
Gretta:
Don't give up. If it were not for you this case would have been swept under the carpet. Those three boys and Paul know what happened and were any remains may be found.
I really do believe that if it were my child missing I would do the same dang thing! I would not rest until my child was found. I'd shout it to whoever would listen and I would NEVER give up. Natalee's parents are keeping this thing alive, and also stupid people with stupid remarks like....I think she just ran away...well why do you think that? Oh no reason just a feeling! Duh A policeman saying that stupid remark. The ignorance in this case has baffled me. I'm not even a detective and I know that the evidence must be collected right away! I would have scraped under fingernails, looked at their bodies for defense wounds and taken their clothing. The reason why it is so interesting is that people can't believe that law inforcement can be dumber than they are!
I can't believe that people would blame a mother for the actions of some out of control teens! Are we to blame when someone does something bad to us? No we are not! The people who hurt Natalee are responsible. If you want to blame a mother...blame Vandersluts mother, and the Kalpoe mother for raising teens with no morals. To blame Natalee's mother for wanting her daughter to have a wonderful experience is just thoughtless and cold.
Why hasn't anyone said anything about the adult chaperon's that went with this group for a senior trip?
Had someone say that those adult's just happen to go along but weren't supposed to be watching the kids. I don't buy that for a NY minute!!
Any of the parent's who agreed to allow the kids to go without any chaperon's would be in a nut ward tomorrow and any senior trip I have heard of they have had some type of chaperon along.
Maybe if the adult's who went along with or "just happened to be along",would have made sure ALL the kids were in at a set time the night before they were to leave, we wouldn't be having this convo!
How could ANY of them in the group not know Natalee didn't show up to room long before they were in the air on the way home?
That is what has me confused. It just doesn't sound right that this girl just vanished and the people who put the "senior trip" made no plans for the safety of these kids!
I also agree that more media the better, cause someone out there knows exactly what happened and the more media given the better chance they have of someone breaking the silence!
Isn't that why we have American's Most Wanted show, and other show's to get a missing person story out for the public to help?
It's not like the story is taking over any of the reality Tv show's, or god forbid Soap Opera's. If it will help bring closure to this family then who are we to begrudge them of that?
This mother loves her daughter and wants her back, what parent out here would NOT want the same?
We have a mother who lost a son to the war camping out at the Bush ranch and she is held up as if she is a hero, yet Natalee's mother is getting slapped in the face for fighting for her daughter who did NOT volunteer for combat!
Something is wrong when people lose their compassion for children (and Natalee is still a child) and the danger they are in!
Some think that because Natalee happened to be blond and blue eyed, she is getting more media attention.
Oh how quick we forget.
What about the little girl in FL that was lost by the child protection services and later found to be dead? She happened to be black and got lots of media attention.
The little black girl from Kansas that was found dead and head chopped off, she got mega media coverage too.
So get off the race card, it isn't about the color of the skin but about the simple fact a human being happens to be missing and a family wants answers!!!!!
If it is not about the color of the skin and just about the kids, try getting some publicity for these kids
might be a problem since I am not aware of just how London would go about putting the information out on the airwaves, nor do I have any clue where to start in that Country.
the way the U.S.A. deal with missing persons is very good as there is the amber alert which is buts inturupts the radio and tv there is nothing like that here in the UK if a child goes missing we have to wait to hear it on the 10 o'clock news or in the next days news papers which by that time vital information is lost. It is terrible that all these small minded people have to gripe about the media attention that is going on in aruba, when it is the family strength that is keeping the story alive to help find their precious daughter, whatever the out come.I just think that all the people complaining about this either dont have family that love them enough to look for them or thy dont love thier own familys enough and obviously would give up without a fight. so you see it is nothing to do with the coulour of your skin its all to do with one familys love for thier daughter. i do hope that natalee is found soon, my love to the family.
Exactly right!!Where were they? They were the ones in who all the parents put their trust in to make sure that their kids were ok. If the chaperones were where they were supposed to be, watching the teens....none of this would have happened. I have been watching this from day one and there have been reports that Vandersloot has been known to put date rape drugs in girl's drinks.
For Aaman it apparently is all about the color of the skin.
Or maybe Aaman has more than half a brain, and realizes the light-skinned missing people are already getting plenty of media coverage.
if you read Dolly's post, in the UK they don't have the amber alert and have to wait until the nightly news or morning for the newspaper. So, it isn't about the color of the skin but about how the information is able to get out when a child is reported missing.
Another thing on the AMW show they do post pictures of missing children, the court tv site has missing children section and some tv show's like Law and Order missing (or something to that effect as I only watch it once in awhile) also show pictures of actual missing kids at the end of the show.
It just so happens that Natalee's family are able to speak with the media more than other's right now and it is a big american vacation attraction where she went missing, so it will get more coverage.
Now get off the race card,thank you very much.

Mark, the simple answer to that is when you are in another country one has to follow the law's of the land they are in. Am sure several folks from Alabama would love nothing more than to wisk those boys off the island and bring them to the back woods area's to give them a good interagation but that isn't about to happen any time soon.
i think it is tracigic that AAMAN can use this as a colour issue, when it is so obviously NOT, because when there is a racial issue most people dont sympathise because of people like AAMAN shouting the odds as he has nothing of importance to say. so he uses this to be heard, now AAMAN if you feel that the children do not get enough media play start shouting about something of importance then people will listen. Do not use ones colour to be heard as it will come back and bite you firmly in the ass !!!
Ms. Holloway has been in the news for months now. She is now almost certainly dead.
In those months, the media COULD have brought attention to all those other "missing persons" who disappeared during that time. Perhaps if they had done so, they would have solved a crime or two, or maybe even saved a life.
Instead, the media is STILL focused on a likely-dead cute white chick on an island paradise.
Perhaps the media has its priorities all fucked up?
Yeah, I think so...
I think Natalee is probably dead--but look at Elizabeth Smart.
All I tried to say is there is no news about her. Meanwhile, could we turn out attention to Darfur, Gaza, Iraq, Jordan (bombing there); Saudi Arabia (ditto).
It's a hideous thing about Natalee--but I see the vultures fattening on it, and it makes me sick.
miriam you have got to be kidding. The war has gotten non stop coverage. Which in all reality, the media should leave it alone as they are putting our men and women in danger. They might as well give them neon lights to say "HERE I AM COME BLOW ME UP".
With they way technology is today, the terriorist can just turn on CNN, headline news, MSN News,cspan and so on and find out what we are planning or where the troops are.
Of course you people just need a reason to bitch, guess the Natalee situation is just another way for you to be able to do so.
RJ what is the problem with natalee being 'a cute white chick' why do you have to put it that way is it because you have a problem with how you look and that your jealous she is gettin so much attention, wouldnt you do the same if it was your daughter?
Dolly,
you know if it were anyone in their families they would be shouting from roof tops, leaving no brick unturned and demanding every channel have pictures posted every hour on the hour until the missing one was found.
Yes,Natalee has been missing for over 80 days and has gotten media coverage but so has other high profile cases.
Some just need reason's to bitch as they have nothing better to do with their time and want to make sure that is known.
tracey,
you are so right about what you said its just a shame they couldnt put thier hot air to good use, like blowing up ballons!!!
Sigh...
The point is that there are other worthy "missing persons" cases out there that the media is NOT covering, because they have devoted so much airtime to NH.
IS NH the only missing person whose life is valuable? Of course not.
So...why has so much attention been given to NH? Perhaps...because she's young, attractive, middle-class, and white?
Do you honestly believe that an old, ugly, poor black guy who went missing would get as much attention from the news media?
I didn't think so...
and do you think an old,ugly,poor white guy or woman would get the coverage?
have you never heard of the frase 'he who shout the loudest gets!!' if a homeless person went missing there would be no family to scream & shout for him so its deffinetly a case of how loud your nearest & dearest will holler for you. please stop makin this a cute thing or a colour issue because its not. can you even see it from a differnt angle, oh, of course you cant your the type to make it something its not just so your voice can be heard !!
This is the only way anything will be found out now. Take one punk, and one hammer,at a time. Apply one hammer strike to one toe/and or finger with each question. He has 20 chances to tell the truth. I believe that within two toes you will know what when where and how. The girl is dead. They did it and their family helped get rid of her body. Scummy bastards all. They will probably get away with it. Fuck Aruba and all the other shitholes like it that want your money but care less if you die after spending it.
cutter how very true AND straight to the point well done for your comment so very many skirt around the subject afaird of upsetting some group or an other. when its so much better to come out with the truth
You are so right about the homeless person who came up missing...There wouldn't be anyone to raise hell. If they cared he wouldn't be homeless! Duh...If your family raises enough stink they will get coverage. Look at the newly married couple and the groom winded up dead on the hooneymoon. His parents didn't want to be interviewed! These people could have been on the news every night if they wanted to, but didn't. It's really hard to open up your life to the media. Who knows what they will use against you. Some people want to shout it out and others just want to be left alone with their grief. You really never know what you would do until it happens to you, and I pray that it never does. I don't think it was a cute thing, or a white thing. I think it was just a horrible thing that happened to a teenager, and it's pissing people off.....the way Aruba has handled the case. If you have heard the interviews with the police, then you have seen ignorance at it's best.
Oh one more thing! I live in Alabama 20 min. away from Mountainbrook, and I never hear anything about Natalee, unless it's quick mention on the 5:00 or 10:00 news.
Tina, I too am in Alabama in the florence area and have to look to the net to get info on the case if I want to know. That's even when I turn on cnn or other news channels, usually it's the war getting the most coverage.
Tracy, I live in Pinson/Trussville area, and isn't that weird that we don't hear much about Natalee? Every now and then I will hear about a fund raiser or something. I too have to look on the internet to get info. I was just as concerned about Shasta and Dylan and the little boy that was lost in the woods (the scout)that they found...thank God. Every time I hear something like that I just start praying really hard. This case is crazy because Aruba has screwed it up so bad, and people are mad at that.
i have a quick thing to say about the natalee holloway case and the the race issue.i feel very bad that she has not been found and my heart does goes to her family.now the race issue.i do believe that the media seems to follow white missing persons cases more than minority cases. and i'm not saying this because of the natalee holloway case. i bet you half the people on here do not know about Latoiya Figureo the 24 Latin/African American mother from Philadelpia,PA who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend on i believe August 18 2005 and did i mention that she was 5 months pregnant? now tell me the media is fair..i would mention more cases but i just dont have the time
Tina,
I did hear about the pregnant woman from PA, and the father stated he wanted justice for her death. I pray he does get that as this woman and unborn child didn't deserve the way their lives were taken. Makes me spitting mad when guys who don't want to take responsibility for laying down with the woman but want the pleasures for doing so. Her family went through hell until they found her body, it will never take the pain of losing her away but at least they are not going to bed and waking up not knowing where she is. I believe she had a hand in them finding her as did Lacie Peterson.
I also just read about the woman who admitted to killing the little girl in FL (who the state was supposed to do monthly checks on said child but failed to do so) might get out as early as May. Now isn't that just SICK, she can get out and possibly kill more children. Life isn't important any more to some people I guess. Sad really, really sad.
Oh my gosh YES I do remember Latoya! Oh my gosh I didn't know that they found her dead. I knew they were questioning her boyfriend, because he made several suspicious remarks. I don't have cable anymore. Damned that bastard! I don't forget people! I prayed for her...I can't believe what humans are capable of.
Tracy...I'm really not sure that I would want to know, that my child was murdered in an awful way. If you don't have a body then you at least have some hope that just MAYBE they are alive. The nightmare of having to identify your child's decomposed body is more than I could bare.
Tina,
I understand where you are comming from, I don't think I could handle having to ID the body. The not knowing is what I was talking about. It can destroy a family and leave life long scars. The always looking, thinking about where,when,how, what if, maybe's are something of nightmares. Yes, there is hope when no body is found, but the stress of not knowing can do so much damage to parents and family members.
I as a parent can't deal with not knowing how my son is doing while in school and I know he is safe there (for the most part), I would be non functional if he were missing.
Every single total idiot that has written a negative statement concerning this case needs to have the exact same thing happen to them, but then grant them their wish of "No news coverage"!
These freaks that make statements like
that are rabid animals and should be put to sleep! Remember the old but true
saying "What goes around, comes around"!
Sherl:
If and when I disappear for several months and the police cannot account for me, I would like my family to ignore the media, hold a brief memorial service, and organize a memorial fund in my honor.
Wherever I am, the news coverage would be of no use to me.
and just how would a memorial fund help you wherever you were?
By the way did you forget it takes 7 yrs to be declared dead, so the several month's wouldn't be possible to claim you were dead.
Tracy:
You can have a memorial service for someone without them being declared dead.
The memorial fund would be for a worthy cause, say a college scholarship, to help AIDS victims, etc. I won't be needing it, because after being missing so long, I will be dead.
You really think people are just gonna give up looking for you after several month's? Sad that you would think that about your loved ones.
Don't forget the Smart girl was missing for many month's and was found alive. I would hope your loved ones would love you enough to leave no stone unturned.
just ot add what tracey said. if you had a memorial fund set up. if you yourself didnt say where it was to go to a so called family member you havent seen for years would crawl out of the wood work and say how sad it is your missing but she would really want me to have the money.
i do hope that tracey and tina are safe after the flooding in america along with every one else you are all in my prayers
Thanks dolly, we got hit with strong winds and rain but all is well here now. Sad to see the destruction and loss of lives, unbelieveable what is going on and I never dreamed I would see the devistation in such a grand manner.
May God hold everyone in his arms as he protects us all.
does any one know if its true that they are going to release joran at the week end
Poor family my ass! Natalee Hollaway's family is from a community with a higher per capita income than Beverly Hills, CA!
do you know them personaly then, declaire
it doesnt matter how much capital they have or dont have money should not be an issue when people are missing. how sad you are when all that seems to matter to you is wealth.
Wouldn't it be a shame if Joran Van Der Scum and his douche-bag friends mysteriously disappeared also??
a young girl, regardless of color, religion, etc. is missing. Respect should be shown not only for her but her family. I also do not believe it is an issue of race...I believe also that it happened in another country is why it got so much attention and her Mother wanted her missing child to be found and within her grief found the strength to not let her daughter's case "go away." It appears to me that Natalee was an innocent naivete young teenager away from home for the first time. Young people tend to trust their peers. She had met Joran the night or day before in the casino, he was well kempt and came from an influential family and thought those were credentials for her safety. Most teens are like that. If anything, the school should have had chaperones or some kind of Buddy System to help guard against something like this. But as Natalee's Mom Beth says, the blame game will not bring her precious Natalee back. That is wasted negative energy that could be channeled into more poisitive areas such as more resources into finding Natalee, as her family had done. Some posts I have seen on other sites talking negatively of Natalee in a very disrespectful manner, well, I wonder about the mental health of such people. How would you like someone talking about your child like that? Also, as one person posted, we do not know the details and maybe she was given something to make her let down her defenses more readily...I ask God's mercy on Natalee and her family...they are only doing what any of us would, or should do,to find a missing child.... in the same circumstances I pray I would have the same inner resources of strength that Beth Twitty has to find her daughter and to keep her case alive within the media: because that is ultimately what will bring more eveidence forth about the case.
natalee holloway.
1st of all , i live in aruba. I like it here. I bet natalee liked it here too. she was partying like every teenagers does. just bcause her parents are filty stinking rich they can do this shit. people get lost all over but nobody look for them like they look for natalee. We (arubians) helped looking for natalee. we even organised tours to look for natalee, and this is what we get. you blaim us and say we must be ashaimed of uor self. like you helped look for natalee too(people in america). if one of us arubians get lost in alabama , nobody would give a shit about us ,bcause were strangers. and we should care about a spoiled , filty rich american girl who desapered on our island. i dont think so!!. and beth twitty , i wont call you a good mom, bcause if you know that ur child is far away on a school trip , you should talk with. and if you sayed that you think about natalle 24/7 while you were on aruba , your wrong!! we saw you partying , its not like you've put millions in the reward , we put millions in it by sponsor. and this is what we get treated like!!! , you stayed for free in hotel while you were her looking for natalee. children make big mistake , but you dont have to blaim it on aruba!! i hope when you find natalee she would get a bad life like joran did. i hope that beth die
The question is who really cares
well i'm from the Caribbean and i know how important our tourism industry are to us btu i must say crimes happend everwhere therefore there are no reason why people should descriminate against Aruba..i mean come on!!!...i feel for Natalee family after all i'm human but that's life maybe it was God's time for her..i just do not like the way it happened....i strongly believe that the police up there are very worthless or maybe the juge could have paid them off since i fing it very stupid of the way the carried out this case...the government of Aruba need to improve in the policing standards of in a fews years to come the total tourism industry will decline tremendously....and that will be a real disaster if you know what i mean.
I have been actively keeping up with the case. Let's admit, we know a lot of our friends who have gone on a senior trip and had a little too much to drink. Think about it...drinking is all but promoted in Cancun, Mexico, Bahamas, Etc. So please give this girl a break. I had my experience on my honeymoon and fortunately, someone was looking out for me. This girl does not deserve all this criticm for herself or her mother. I think that it is wonderful that this case is still receiving publicity. More power to them...if we had someone in our family missing, we could only pray to keep this going....it keeps her alive and everyone aware that this is someone's child or loved one and she is a normal teenager that deserves to make mistakes, as every teenager does! I envy the parents because they have the time and strength to keep the media going. It shows to me that they love Natalee and want answers. These laws in Aruba are unacceptable...I personally feel that there is a conspiracy involved. While I do feel that Beth Twity has not been forward with all of the information....perhaps it is because a lot of things are still under investigation...such as phone calls that she made to friends the same night, friends that actually saw her, etc. I do think that there are a lot of things that have been said, but quickly swept under the rug...maybe because of investigations still going on. I will continue to pray for the family as well as Natalee. GOOD LUCK!
after watching the interview for 2 days I have a completely different opinion of vanderslooth. I don't see how a teenager could have covered up a murder and remain so calm. I don't know if he did it or not but he is believeable in these inerviews/
I don't know what happened to her,but by now we are have to agree that it does not look like she's coming home.It's really sad because she is missed so much.Some one knows something and its just a matter of time.But when they do catch whoever was invovled in her just never being seen agian,I hope they put them in the room with Beth.If somebody killed my child I'd waut to be left alone with them.Beth is not going to stop and this is not going away and I don't blame her.She needs this to be over for her too.Maybe something will turn up for them real soon.!Kym
When did this blogsite change? I don't see any of the latest posting, I posted or Monique posted. What happened?
Wow you people are sick....Marc you are an idiot and you sound ridiculous....Why isnt this girl sitting in her room waiting to leave on her last night of vacation????HMMMMMM!!!!!She was 18 years old!!!! She just graduated high school, she was on vacation having a good time...I dont know what happened that night and i dont know why you people think you do either...How the hell do you people know if she left with these guys willingly or not, were you right there with her?!?! I think not....And she was hanging out with them all night at the bar, one was younger than her....maybe she thought she just met some nice guys. And its is the media sooooo much because its an INSANE SITUATION!!! I dont think its because she was pretty and a young white girl...The girl is GONE and her BODY IS NOOOOO WHERE, but the 3 guys that were last seen with her have changed their stories several times.....!!! are you kiddin me, what if that was your daughter?
I think that Sloot made a horrible mistake....i dont think he was like im gonna kill this girl tonight but i do believe something happened and went horribly wrong....His father is important in Aruba, hes a judge and i dont know what happened but i think he called his daddy and his dad helped him cover it up....Aruba didnt want to look bad so they hoped it would go away but it hasnt, Thanks to her parents.
I doubt she's dead. Aruba has a booming sex trade industry. After Joran and his buddies raped her I bet they sold her into some sort of sexual slavery. She's probably still alive somewhere, and being gang banged and molested on a daily basis.
Okay, I need to go jerk off now lol.
