Well friendofMickey…I hope he goes home very soon.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba – Three men who said they dropped off an Alabama teenager at her hotel have emerged as “the most important lead” in the honor student’s disappearance on this Dutch Caribbean island, police said Saturday.
Police, Dutch troops and hundreds of volunteers scouring coastline and beaches for six days have found no trace of Natalee Holloway, 18, and a Mississippi native.
Edited by Tom – Too long on old news
Leila, any movements in your area???
Top95
A local radio station, Top95 FM
Is reporting updates bilingually on the ongoing case of missing Natalee Holloway, who is now considered not alive anymore.
The primary language is ofcourse Papiamento (local language spoken), but they sum it up and report an update in English.

To follow the latest devolpments.
I only know Dave and Robin… my best friend is a sibling of Robin’s….. Dave married Robin when Natalee was 8 yrs old…. and the “step” family was very close to her… especially her grandparents… the Partens in Pearl, MS…… my God, why??
No confirmation of finding remains
MSNBC live right now is saying that all reports of finding a body are unfounded.
MSNBC – Says interrogation of three individuals yield different stories. No body found.
Running from Arlene my local news station has said that Natalee was a native of clinton, ms any truth to this?
yes… outside of Meridian, MS….. that is where Dave and Robin reside today.
Fox is reporting blood has been found.
there is to be a statment rudy cruz, no statement natalee is dead…
THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL !!!
Fox News declares:
ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Reports conflicted Saturday in developments of the Alabama honor student who has been missing in Aruba for almost two weeks.
Aruban Minister of Justice Edward Croes (search) told FOX News Natalee Holloway, who was on vacation with friends as a graduation trip when she disappeared, was confirmed dead and that authorities know the location of her body.
However, the mother of the 17-year-old told FOX News authorities had not yet contacted them with this information. Croes also said that Natalee’s father, who is divorced from her mother, was with investigators looking for the body.
These reports came after significant, yet at times conflicting, developments with the five suspects being detained in the case.
One of the young men detained admitted “something bad happened” to the woman after they took her to the beach, a police officer said, while prosecutors said the investigation was at a crucial point.
But prosecutors refused to comment on the statement by Deputy Police Commissioner Gerold Dompig (search), who told The Associated Press that the man who made that admission was leading police to the scene. He refused to identify which of the three young men who took Holloway to a northern beach the night she went missing made the statement.
rudy cruz wants this to go at his pace apparently
Dear God, they have just opened the phone lines
fox reporting that it is reported from aruba that human blood found in car was found in car and samples of this and natalee’s mother’s blood are being sent to us to be compared (in aruba diario paper).
aruba girl… what doesw that mean? Im listening to Aruba radio
Arlene:
I know that this is particularly difficult for you. I also understand that you want to be helpful to the nice people on this board and there are many nice ones. However, not everyone reading this board falls into that category.
I strongly suggest that you measure what information you make available in this forum.
Kindly…
What is going on Rudy Croes denies the statement to Radio 95 ???
T
kinda funny that they might have put a body back in the car… sounds real damn dumb to me…
fox saying death report was valid from justice minisrty to fox producer – yet asked that report be denied until family could identify body (families request)
arubagirl–if i were the gaurds lawyer I’d be nice nice and no waves, just get clients out then prove wrong doing if any and go from there….The gaurds would have no chance at a lawsuit maybe if this did’t go so big and so long esp if they only had a joint to hold them 8 days plus more , and at the same time let the guys with evidence on car go you know??
msnbc had a top DEA on saying yes aruba is a very safe place and people should continue to enjoy the island. GOOD.
Rogers… thanks…. I just needed to vent…… I love this family so much….
Rogers – agree — don’t want the family victimized twice, or more! Be careful Arlene.
Uhm, they’ve opened the phone lines, so all everyone is going to call and give (mostly) ridicuous theories, yell at the cops, U.S. media, local media, prosecutors, etc. etc. Very annoying.
croes denies telling anyone that natalle is dead, and that the press needs to go at the aruban gov pace
Thanks for sharing Running from Arlene
I’m out of here…. will be back on when everything is confirmed. God bless everyone.
Since when is the story of her death less true because the mother has not been contacted? It seems perfectly normal that the information may make it to the media first.
NO Rudy Croes does not want this to go his space. There isn’t any body found as yet. nothing is confirmed. The head officials here do NOT influence investigations here. It goes at the pace it needs to go. You watch to much CSI Rob.
No offense
Ohhh again… I apoligize in advance for american behavior..
From Riehl World – this story just gets stranger:
Natalee Holloway Update: 4:06 PM EST
Government officials in Aruba are on the radio condemming Fox News for their reporting and requesting all journalists to cooperate with authorities and not report rumors. The Justice Minister is denying having told any American reported that Natalee Holloway is dead.
They also insist that they do not know of a body being recovered at this time
Hey Bengal, it’s local people who are doing the yelling.
this is so damn confusing
OK..Im just used to apologizing for bad american behavoir!..Not mine ofcourse!!..LOL
Rudy Croes denies giving any statement to International media on the case. Because international press is saying that Rudy Croes said so.
Nothing is confirmed. But the way things are going on the island it indicates that she is dead.
i ve never seen statements made and retracted so much in my life
Arlene ; I understand the need to vent. I suggest that you select one of the kind ladies posting on this board. Bet they would love to exchange emails. Lots of good people here. Lots of pressure on you, I know.
I know I’m supposed to know better, but isn’t there supposed to be a press conference at 4?
Gabriel
Thanks!
We are going crazy. I have heard many back channel reports and we are trying to make sure we do this correctly.
Gosh this is tough.
tom
nothing offical ….public pros… no speculation … no new news..
Nope…those conferences where cancelled, because the gouvernment found that the media was making a circus out it.
Only conferences that are going to be givin are where they have more info.
i ll be back im gonna look around to see what else i might be able to confirm…
arubagirl
fox reported that the diario paper was reporting some of the same (questionable info) that the us media is reporting. is this true?
The Judge comisionary, or however you translate this job, the judge who has to decide who is going to stay for 8 more days came from the neighbouring island of Curacao (Dutch Antilles), reported by Top 95
Sorry, I don’t know what Diario is reporting, I didn’t buy Diario this morning, only Bon Dia
I know people in Aruba are anxious to get some closure on this tragedy and return to normal.
One thing the authorities might consider, there are many people in the US of African-American descent who also go on vacation.
Letting Micky and Abraham return home to their families immediately, as well as apologizing to them and compensating them for their pain and suffering would be a terrific way to counteract concerns that would-be tourists of color might have and affirm that the island welcomes all people.
Judge of instruction he is called in English
Oh, okay, thanks Gabriel
95.1 in english with weird music again
it’s a daily press/cow heard somewhere.
I think they are playing hot potato bto keep people from going where they think she is and the island going loco all at once. It must be nuts over there…The area is probably already secured and roads being blocked off…
GUILTY !!!
http://www.antibomessa.com/index.php?option=news&task=viewarticle&sid=946
it is all in papiamentu,
but it tells the story…
that the van der sloot kid is known to be an agressive individual.
seems that they found blood in the car
also states that these kids are known for hitting on american girls.
So sad… now i hope they will deport them to the USA.. so they can learn NOT to drop the soap!.
Rest in peace nathalee.
God be with you.
Con cu bin con cu bai. Aruba lo survive e cos ki. Nos hendenan no ta permiti Aruba wordo caba, Frente na Laira nos lo keda no matter what.
Natalee’s mother is not accepting anyone’s word for ANYTHING! Until she see’s her daughter’s body and had the results of a bloody test she is not trying to hear anything about her daughter being dead. This is an awesome woman in my opinion.
Sounds like continued speculation to me….
Tom—Do you think you might want to take it easy on the condolence thing, seeing as how no official reports have even said that she’s dead?
cautivo-
yes the americans- african am or not and lots of others will be more skeptical of the aruban govt than the guys hangin a c&c if that happens.
MSNBC says no body has been found..
Natalee Holloway Update: 4:06 PM EST

Bon bisa, Gabriel. A nos sa cu nos a hasi tur kos cu tawata di hasi. Esaki lo NO caba Aruba.
Hopi bon Gabriel….
cant confrim anything, its all locked down
what’s it like in Aruba now?
Gab-Agirl
Mi ta kere cu nos lo crece mas ainda!!!
There are so many conflicting reports, that one would go crazy if you heard all of them. I would think that the family has been privy to a lot of info that has not been told to the public. They have probably learned many new things about their daughter that parents don’t necessarily have a need to know like kissing a boy or drinking too much.
Very hot, but otherwise quiet where I’m at.
Native y Gabriel, nos cu nos ta bon hende, cu no lo permiti hende lastra nos nomber.
Or taking X . . .
I wonder if the authorities differentiate between “no body recovered” and “no body located” or “know the location of the body”?
read several sites today that the officials wanted to throw the media off course so they would not interfere with investigations, or to give the family time to identify the body, etc. —If this is the case… they have succeeded
Yeah, or taking x. Do you think she was going to go back and share these types of things with her family? I imagine it is akin to, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” only this time it is Aruba.
Rob- it’s likely that is the plan until a body is in a coroners office.
Anyone holding off on prayers at this point should wake up. Do you really need an official word at this point?? I’m sad too but we areall smart enough to know, official or not. Sorry. I’d like to hope but I can’t fool myself.
I find it hard to believe that FoxNews lied about this….
Gab-Agirl…
Mi ta kere nos 3 plus jairo y leila a hasi un bon job aki riba……cos twt mustra basta malo na principio………….
msnbc says the police are searching the lighthouse area still and that one of the ‘boys’ is talking..
Choppers spotted over lighthouse area..decoy probably…
ahhh…ok…good idea!
Fox news probably wanted to be the first to break the story…..tabloid journalism ala Americana.
Youre right Sarah…especially Fox…. fair and balanced remember!!..HA
Deepak is selling his computer….see link:
news reported earlier there was an automobile accident at the lighthouse
How about first and beligerent.
Native, si en berdad cos tawata mustra hopi malo, tawatin hende aki den cu twt bisa cos hopi hopi loko mes.
Yes, I think FOX did want to break the story…and I also think they were told the truth – maybe in a “Keep it under wraps until the family is notified, etc.” manner.
I was thinking of a very different F” adjective!!
native lingo
Where are you?
Like Fox could keep anything under wraps…
Noord, Aruba.
Auto accident? Did the Fox News van and MSNBC van collide?
To be Fair and Balanced.. The government was berating CNN earlier for the same thing.
fabor ta galante
no papiamento please
LOL..Sarah!
sorry tom….my apologies….no more papiamento
is anyone else listening to the 95. aruba radio station?
looks like the server is down or is it just me
thank you
native lingo
have you ever gone diving by the pet cemetary?
Sorry..our bad.
Yes Bengal….in english now…
Lines are open 011(287) 585=9555 or 585-5555
Friend, NO…haven’t why?
what’s with the music between each sentence?
native- do you know where it is? Is it by kia? What is that area called if you know
Heard lots of infor about the Sloot boy, anyone know anything about the brothers? What type of kids are they? Are they in school? Known to hang out at the bars?
Yes….I actually searched area on foot ( Rodgers beach)
Natalee Holloway: Update 4:30 PM EST
While Fox News is reporting that the focus of the search seems to have turned back to the lighthouse area, another source has confirmed that Noraima Peters, lawyer for one of the security guards arrested earlier has confirmed that Joran Van der Sloot, one of the three boys also arrested has confessed to something “big” but the attorney would not elaborate.
Back to Fox, they claim that behind the scenes reports suggest one of the boys, most likely Van der Sloot is talking to authorities now and providing details as to what happened to Natalee Holloway.
native
Is that a trick question
The brothers are younger – just out of 9th grade and, I think, 6th.
I’m sorry, I wasn’t clear. I meant the brothers who were arrested with Sloot.
No, why?? it’s in the same area as baby beach (seroe colorado)…… we walked through that entire area during the search…..
After the mis-step yesterday with cnn in jumping the gun, I would be stunned if Fox did it again today. Then again, stranger things have happened.
The three are attending the American international school on the Island. Which is a school for Americans and international students where the lessons are givin in English.
I have read the Surinamese boys also frequented bars/casinos and there are rumors they sold X.
Good kids? Troubled kids?
The Surinam brothers were 18 and 21, I believe.
The other brothers, Satish and Deepak Kalpoe, are slightly older, 19 and 23, I think. They seem to be more from the same mold as Jaron
Not to sound stupid but….Where is Surinam?
South AMerica
Kids with wealhty parents. Some parents send their kids there if they needed smaller parents. It was originally intended to be a school for the American kids whose parents worked at the refinary.

Thank you Native
Surinam is on the coast of South America, relatively near Aruba
bengal ….South Amerika
Who is the sixth person that was arrested today?
Thanks guys…Wasn’t sure about that…
If they needed smaller parents? What does that mean?
Sarah, I meant classes. I have a fever. I’m guessing it is showing. Sorry sorry sorry.
I thought the 6th person was unrelated.
6th person is unrelated
sixth person? Haven’t heard anything of that Arubagirl heard of a sixth person?
i guess there’s no press conference today?
AP on yahoo reported that a sixth person was related. Later I think Top said it had nothing to do with the case.
We have pulled the condolence card for Natalie till things are calmer and the government determines its position.
Like every other thing in this case. The fact that the 6th person’s arrest is unrelated has been contradicted a number of times. Who know what is going on?
did anyone ever say why 95.1 has music between each sentence?
I guess so, those bastards. Ahem. Sorry.
To fill the time, I’m guessing m wood. It’s very grating.
There is a lot to be learned from this tragedy.
the 6th person IS unrelated. Disturbing the peace, I believe
No kidding Aruba Girl…
yes deputy… never believe the media
oh yeah, tiptoes is right. I think I read it somewhere…
Any word on who the 6th person might be? and how connected, if at all?
Probably worked for Fox.
Native-thanks-got to go to work now
There is a lot to be learned from this tragedy…
(1) Don’t send children on drinking trips.
(2) Make sure there are responsible adults on any trip that your children go on.
(3) It is OK to say “No” to your children; they will still love you.
(4) Talk to your children about sex; what do do and what to avoid.
(5) Money isn’t everything (Right Daddy Holloway!)
(6) Love your children
Deputy
Natalee’s mother just spotted walking in the renaissance mall. Kid you NOT….
What the heck is going on in Aruba right now, They need to have a cabinet meeting and get the official story straight. This is exhausting to cover, not to mention the Holloway/Twitty family to experience
David Kock, v/d Sloot’s lawyer says that his client says that he is innocent and that he (the lawyer) has no reason to doubt his client’s story.
Sorry, David Kock, it was Anthony Carlo.
What is going on? Is she not dead now?
anything? new….
She’s with a group of people, and looks rather “slow”….decoy?? I can’t imagine that..
Heroaldo is supposed to be on Fox @ 5PM to enlighten the world as to what’s going on in Auruba. Think he’s been there about an hour.
What is the story now about Natalee?
Are you sure she didn’t take a bunk pill and died?
FOX is announceing that Geraldo will be interviewing Natalee’s bio father and member of law enforcement.
why would she be at the mall?????
I am assuming she is dead, and the government can not coordinate the story, but as we have said , if there is doubt, we will make our mistakes on the side of the family
T
Is mom alone?
According to David Kock (for real this time), all of them are saying that they’re interesting. He’s saying that the prosecutor wants each suspect to have their own laywer due to conflict of interest. He still believes that they’re innocent.
David Kock represents Satish Kalpoe.
When is geraldo going to be on?
From Caribbean Net News.
Interesting
http://www.caribbeannetnews.com/2005/06/13/misleading.shtml
didn’t all 3 (at one time) have the same attorney?
No Idea mwood, I own a store in the mall, and 3 other tenants have called me sofar with the same story…. WTH????
He’s on screen now and has no new information.
Geraldo is on. I am going to vomit…
Interviewing the lawyer but the lawyer says that Van Cloot is innocent.
Geraldo is now reporting LIVE! Saying who knows what’s going on???
the halloway family are the first ones to know anything about the invetigation they don’t follow the media
native- sad but she came not thinking to bring clothes for such sadness and mourning. maybe. Pray for the family.
Oh, you do native? I was just there today.
First post and e-mail did not work:

geraldo saying that nothing is confirmed per the aruba officials
Guess so friend….
Rick Leventhal must be pissed, unseated by Geraldo…
I have to agree with deputy. When I was a senior in high school back in 1991, we took a senior cruise to the Bahamas. It was a “booze cruise, ” to say the least. Although I was one of the “smart” kids, I too, was there to have a good time and drank way too much. One evening a group of friends left the ship to go to a bar (with no chaperones). An older man starting buying drinks for me and my friends. We were so young and naive, we accepted them. Later, the man tried to convince me to leave with him in his limo. I declined the offer, saying I was staying with my friends. He became angry, told me I was stupid, and grabbed my arm very tightly – tight enough to hurt. Although I had been drinking heavily, I still had enough wits about me to not leave with a stranger. I may not be here today had I left with that psycho. Even though this was 14 years ago, I still remember exactly what this person looked like.
I am now married with children, and I will NEVER let any of my children go on a trip like this unless I am there as a chaperone, in the true sense of the word.
I don’t if that is a typo or not, Tom, but ‘Cloot’ is a very good name if he is responsible for all of this.
Been there for 7 years…….
carolinagirl
are you in nc or sc?
Joran Van der Sloot, sorry going too hard
Agirl….LOL
Oh and their detention time has been extended. Duh.
American press misleading, no confession say Aruba police
by Norman ‘Gus’ Thomas
Caribbean Net News Senior Regional Correspondent
E-mail: rc@caribbeannetnews.com
Saturday, June 11, 2005
ORANJESTAD, Aruba: Law enforcement officials in Aruba are calling recent reports coming out of the USA in relation to the disappearance of an Alabama teenager as “untrue and misleading.” 18-year-old Natalee Holloway vanished May 29 after leaving an Oranjestad nightclub.
According to US reports, police in Aruba arrested a man on Saturday morning, after one of a trio that was previously held reportedly told police “something bad happened to her”.
CNN’s 2:00 pm report on Saturday stated that a senior police officer had told them that one of the three men arrested had confessed to killing Halloway.
Aruba police told Caribbean Net News Saturday that they have been engaged in an unsuccessful island-wide search for Holloway, who had come to the island with 124 other students from the USA to celebrate their graduation from Mountain Brook High School.
Caribbean Net News contacted CNN Headline News in Atlanta who said that they have reporters on the ground in Aruba and were adamant that they are sticking by their story.
However, officials in Aruba maintain that no confession was made and there has been no other arrest apart from the five made earlier.
According to one US report, police this morning visited a home on the outskirts of the capital city of Oranjestad and were later seen coming from the house with a young man wearing handcuffs, but the Aruba police have also denied this.
However, police did confirm to Caribbean Net News that, of the arrested trio, two are brothers and hail from Suriname while the other is a 17-year-old Dutchman who is the son of a top member of Aruba’s legal circle.
When the story first broke, police also detained two former security guards who have maintained that they are innocent. They have not been charged and their continued detention has sparked simmering racial overtones.
Since Halloway’s disappearance, island-wide searches by Aruban police, Dutch marines, the FBI and scores of volunteer islanders and tourists still continue on a daily basis.
Nelson Oduber, the island’s Prime Minister in speaking on national radio Friday night hinted that he was deeply concerned over the negative effect the Halloway matter would have on the island’s tourism product and its 97,000 people, who depend heavily on tourism.
Meanwhile, a high court judge flown in from a neighbouring island was due to convene a “hearing” at 2:00 pm Saturday to determine whether officials can continue to hold the three suspects in prison without charge as the investigations continue.
totaly agree with you Arubagirl
Should I be blushing?
the gaurds?Arubagirl?
Some thoughts: At 18, I would have felft myself old enough to go away whether my parents wanted me to or not. There are no perfect places in this world. I lived in and sailed the Islands for 15 years. I know people who have suffered great tragic crimes. I did not suffer even one. Not one person ever deserved to be harmed. Perhaps I am just lucky, but I do try to know where I am and try to stay safe, not just in the Islands, but here Stateside too. Sometimes one is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I believe that tourists have a notion about the islands in general that is less than realistic. No matter where you go you will find people that will be willing to commit crimes. There will always be a few oddballs that aren’t well wrapped in the head. Aruba is a beautiful place. Most of the islands are beautiful. On each of these islands you will find people that have a genuine love of visitors, some that smile and make nice but still dislike you for their own reasons and others that are just hostile. You may spend a week or two there and feel that you know the place, but I assure you that you no nothing until you live on that rock. We are all in a hurry to know what happened to Natalee, but you must remember that you are dealing with people that live on Island time and have an island mentality. That is not a slur. I try to save my island culture wherever I am. But, it is a different culture. It can be very frustrating dealing with bureaucrats in the islands. These are their islands and it is up to them to decide how and when things will be done. Maddening maybe, but a fact. They do not do things wrongly, just differently. Example, some islands may drive on the left. I have heard tourists exclaim, oh you drive on the wrong side of the road! Not really, we just do not do it the way you do. Aruba may not be doing it the American way, but they are getting it done, albeit on island time, in their own way. They have tried to accomadate the press and the world which is breathing down their backs. Natalee may be alive or she may be dead, they are trying to do all they can to resolve this. I do believe that. God Bless Natalee and her family. . Sorry if this sounds like a lecture, just some thoughts.
He’s just bring this whole “I’m here now and this sh it is going to stop.” vibe.
Hate to discredit things here, but the Aruban Police seem to be running around like a chicken with their heads cut off. They should turn this over to the FBI as they have no business investigating a high profile murder, or a traffic ticket for that matter. The way Aruba has handled this is pretty disgusting and I will never step foot on the island again.
Crimes happen everywhere. And there are varying business interests and prominent families everywhere.
I wonder if it would be better, from the public relations standpoint, to just go with the straight story as opposed to focusing so much effort on public relations concerns.
In some ways, it seems to be leaning toward the counter-productive side.
Forgive my plain speech, but given a choice between an island where a crime occurred, and an island where a murder and a lot of subsequent questionable activity surrounding the crime occurred, I would choose island A.
It would be very unfair to blame an entire island because a crime took place. Americans especially are not in a favorable position to cast these stones!
And the media can be annoying but the govt is the authority and can ban them. If they do not ban them, talking to them would, in my opinion, be more beneficial than not talking to them.
No, the 3 guys who Natalee got in the car with. The two guards aren’t scheduled to come before a judge yet. The lawyers for the guards were going to ask the judge to release their clients, but I have no idea if this happened and what the result turned out to be.
I live in Birmingham and graudated from the same high school that Natalee did, but many years earlier. I have a good friend who is an FBI agent in town. He says the info they have says the two security guards had nothing to do with this but that the 3 boys are the culprits. He said they have known she was dead for days…
WHo Goldie? Geraldo???? PUH-LEASE!
Jim, that’s okay. We wouldn’t want you anyway.
Geraldo Rivera is so embarrassing. Ugh.
Jim
I wonder if it is a good thing that the island does not know how to handle a situation like this.
The alternative is much worse, they are good at handling case like this because they have lots of practice.
T
Tom…..the cabinet doesn’t have to get anything straight. The Thing is that your media is just blowing things out of proportion. There’s nothing confirmed. But the always shoot the story before confirmation therfore confusing everyone.
Investigation, I think they can handle, but the International Media is something that the aruba officials can’t control
The court house meeting has gone very long 2 lawyers out , 1 still in there
The boys will stay in.
Best thing I’ve heard in a long long time, m wood.
He is TX, but I bet before long he has gotten friendly with at least Natalee’s biological father and puts himself in the midst of everything. I’m just say that is how he is carry himself. Like he is just going to set everything straight. I’m saying that he is.
Hey, Arubans…
What are people saying about these three guys (aside from the did they/didn’t they questions)? I mean, don’t you think that, if in fact they have confessed and they killed her, that most Arubans are going to be PISSED at them? I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes. Look at what turmoil they’ve caused on your usually-quiet and laid back island.
Just wondering if people are saying anything.
It seems one of the biggest problems is the Arubian government is not able to handle the intense international media pressure AND they don’t feel public disclosure is necessary. While invetigative details should be kept private to protect the case in this country public information officers give routine detailed updates in a high profile case…if only to appease the media.
They just reported the information officers are from all walks of life and aren’t part of the law enforcement staff. Yikes.
What a mess for the family and those friends and loved ones watching and waiting for any bit of info.
mwood? what’s WHORALDO saying now??? I have like 4-5 FOX channels on direct t.v. but no FOX news!?!?
Oh, I’m sure he will too, Golden. He LOVES to think that he’s the big hero. Why does he still have a job? LOL!
You are probably correct Gabriel. The media in the US is so competitive and that leads to significant errors. Typically though they are good at attribution,
I do know heads are rolling at the major networks if it comes out that the reporters have lied about the attribution.
I think the systems of justice are so different that the US media does not know how to handle it.
Do you think the “confession” could be a farse, a hoax to get one of the boys to sing? Or did one of the boys actually confess?
Typo. I’m NOT saying he is.
I think most of us knew that they had something to do with it. They’re not exactly well-loved right now. Actually, if the U.S. demanded their extradiction, I wouldn’t protest.
NativeLingo, you’re not missing anything–he is adding nothing meaningful. Rick Leventhal was doing a really good job
he’s not on the air now… they’re reporting on the weather now
Rick Leventhal is certainly nicer to look at, too. Ugh – Geraldo.
Geraldo probably has a great agent who has some real high quality clients. This agent probably told Fox he can have his clients as long as they take Geraldo too!
Aruba girl you should protest, this is your soveriegnity that is at stake.

Aruba, it’s too bad we can’t demand their extradiction! They would probably get the death penalty over here. Creeps.
correct me if i’m wrong (i’m sure you will)lol… but, wasn’t it reported a few days ago that there were only 2 top officials from aruba that were to report to the press and anything from anyone else would be unofficial?
Geraldo is just obnoxious and strong arms his way into situations. But like I said in an earlier post, there was a time, long ago when he was somewhat credible.
Well, I would say that he be tried in the States, and the media circus goes on there, and when the sentence is rendered, bring him here, convert the sentence to Aruban standards and let him sit it out here. It happened once before. Granted, the crime was committed on American soil.
From what I have seen of your Justice System. I think you will do a fine job prosecuting the responsible party right there.
Aren’t journalists supposed to be obnoxious and strong armed?…at least that’s always been my impression…
Believe you mean I they are found Guilty. They will have hell to pay. If not by the Justice it will be by the LOCALS. This is a small Island. Arubans are Proud People. And Never forget who damaged the reputation of the Island.
Soon this whole case will come to an end.
I think so too Lydia, but will we have to endure endless nights of Nancy Grace and Geraldo etc etc etc?
I feel sorry for Aruba right about now. This case is not coming to an end. The madness has only just begun.

Yeah, I’m no law enforcment expert, but I think the crime has to be committed on American soil in order for the individual to be tried here. Too bad.

Yes they are to a certain degree. Geraldo, will exploit this family’s pain for ratings. Her dad is very vulnerable now, as is the entire family. I hate to see them get pimped by Geraldo.
