      There is nothing in this world that I love more than southern nicknames! “Jug” is an awesome name!

      Yeah, you got it. She wanted to nave sex IN THE TRUNK!. Thanks for that!

    22. Lola on June 12th, 2005 12:33 am

      Yes, and absolutely not to the running away thing.

    25. SA on June 12th, 2005 12:33 am

      What if he took her to a hospital and left her?

    26. Lola on June 12th, 2005 12:34 am

      this is getting very strange indeed….

    27. Weenie on June 12th, 2005 12:34 am

      i think the chaperones are really to blame! 18 year olds aren’t mature enuff to handle this kind of trip without getting into trouble…

    28. GPTMB on June 12th, 2005 12:34 am

      We are all just hoping and prayin everyday for her safe return and we all have faith that the Lord will bring her home to us safe and sound.

    29. Lola on June 12th, 2005 12:34 am

      No new news yet, i understand?

    30. K in TX on June 12th, 2005 12:35 am

      I’m thinking the FBI would have already checked out a hospital.

    31. GPTMB on June 12th, 2005 12:35 am

      Please don’t blame the chaperones. They are beside themselves with grief and guilt.

    32. mordred on June 12th, 2005 12:35 am

      How much does anyone wanna bet that Joran (the culprit- accident or not)does not do more than 6 months in the pen??

    33. Rickster on June 12th, 2005 12:36 am

      Yeah, the three are taking their lumps from the authorities so as not to give her up as a runaway. WTF???!?!?!

    34. bengalbaby on June 12th, 2005 12:36 am

      Some people don’t know any better GPTMB..

    35. Weenie on June 12th, 2005 12:36 am

      if they are, i want to hear it from them… not your speculations

    36. K in TX on June 12th, 2005 12:36 am

      GPTMB,

      I’m thinking that no matter where Natalee is, the Lord has already wrapped his loving arms around her. I pray that she’ll come home safe, too.

    37. KerinTX on June 12th, 2005 12:37 am

      Runaway with what? No passport…money…without the local “friends” she made?

    38. concerned mom on June 12th, 2005 12:37 am

      GPTMB, that is why you probably don’t want to read a whole lot here. Lots of hateful spewing blaming chaperones, parents, everyone EXCEPT the perps. Lots of support, yes, but also lots of hateful words too.

    39. Nate on June 12th, 2005 12:37 am

      Did I read things right…they are saying that they don’t think it is a homicide now? what’s the source? Thanks!

    40. bengalbaby on June 12th, 2005 12:37 am

      OMG

    41. SA on June 12th, 2005 12:37 am

      GPTMB, so what do you think? That someone has her?

      IDON’TKNOWNUTTIN– I think the blood was in the car, not the trunk, and we don’t even know if it was her blood.

      TELL ME- she wanted to have sex with him, more power to her

    42. GPTMB on June 12th, 2005 12:38 am

      look. I live in Mtn Brook and I know all of the chaperones. We’re all freaking out and are feeling feeling guilt to an unparalleled amount.

    43. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 12:38 am

      Most likely, Van Toot or whatever thought more of himself than Natalee did and when she said “NO”, he said “shutup” and the gangbang began.

    44. Weenie on June 12th, 2005 12:39 am

      the perps are definitely to blame and should be tried and hung… but i still believe the chaperones need to give the community and media a full accounting of their inattention SO THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO ANOTHER KID ON A BOOZY GRAD VACATION

    45. bengalbaby on June 12th, 2005 12:39 am

      Ignore them GPTMB… You guys have nothing to feel guilty about…

    46. mordred on June 12th, 2005 12:39 am

      I hate to lay blame but the chaperones should have noticed as soon as everybody got back to the hotel, afterall 40 chaperones for 100 kids, thats 2.5 kids for every chaperone. But on the other hand, accidents do happen!

    47. bengalbaby on June 12th, 2005 12:40 am

      How exactly would that help Weenine

    48. GPTMB on June 12th, 2005 12:40 am

      I dont know — but i can no longer tolerate some of the comments being posted — I’m going to bed — God Bless and continue to pray for Natalee — and if you don’t already have a yellow ribbon to hang go get one — It helps knowing that we have ya’lls support — We are still holding out hope that Natalee is alive and coming home to us soon. Again, God Bless

    49. Rick on June 12th, 2005 12:40 am

      I, for one, am having a very difficult time believing that AP would quote Police Commissioner Dompig (sp?) saying that one of the boys confessed and would lead police to the body – if it werent true. Lawyers can argue about what a legal confession might be versus a confession via wiretap or something – authorities can deny a ‘confession’ was made, but it seems completly improbable that a respected AP newsman would falsely quote a public official in an international case and expect to get away with it. No one would do something so foolish – if Natalee walked into the police station tomorrow, the reporter’s career would be permanently finished. No, I tend to think that the statement was true…

      On the confession – one of Natalee’s family members said it was an ‘aggressive interpretation’ of what was said – so something certainly was said by one of the boys and it did point to some sort of culpability. THe phrase spread by another attorney for another suspect – one of the (probably) falsely imprisoned guards was, “something bad happened”…

    50. LARRY on June 12th, 2005 12:41 am

      it was 7 chaps for 124 children that equals about 17-18 kids per one adult

      WHAT WERE THEY DOING?

    51. lainey on June 12th, 2005 12:41 am

      Someone in the prior comments said they gave a ride to a girl that had known them for all of 45 minutes. I can relate to this case in that as a 20 year old my uncle left me at a bar in FL to go off with his girlfriend. I caught a ride with the guy I had been dancing with all night thinking he was nice and all (lots of drinks in that thought by the way) As we left his friend got in the car–can you say PANIC. I was saying to myself that I had made a fatal mistake and the talking on the ride between the two made me nervous. They stopped at a corner store for cigarettes (more like condoms if you ask me) and LOCKED the car door with me in the back of a two door car. I panicked that I was in deep trouble and saw two marines (one male on female) getting gas and jumped out of the car and ran to them. They took me to my hotel. I shudder to think what was about to happen to me. It could have easily turned out really bad. I never got in the car with someone I met at a bar again, thats for sure

    52. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 12:42 am

      gptmb, we know how hurt you all must feel. Can’t change what’s happened, can only look ahead, at this point.

    53. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 12:42 am

      Most likely, Van Toot or whatever thought more of himself than Natalee did and when she said “NO”, he said “shutup” and the violence began.

    54. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 12:42 am

      IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! – your a dumbass. we dont even know WHERE the blood was found.

    55. jim fortenberry on June 12th, 2005 12:43 am

      PLEASE – no yellow ribbons anymore for anything

      That is merely a tribute to a very crappy Tony Orlando & Dawn pop song… RED ribbons to reflect the blood spilled in this horrific crime

    56. SA on June 12th, 2005 12:43 am

      I am sick of hearing people bash the chaperones. They weren’t there to baby sit. How could they have possibly stopped her from going home with someone. It’s not like she or the other kids would tell them her plans anyway. Be realistic.

    57. mordred on June 12th, 2005 12:44 am

      OK..my mistake, I didn’t know it was only 7 chaperones- That increases the chances of a mistake exponentially!! It could happen to any of us.

    58. Whitney on June 12th, 2005 12:44 am

      So, who are the Surinam-ese peeps and who, what, why are they protected?

      Heya, Netherlanders…what gives?

      How does the Kikki F! driving champion and the legendary painter and his ancestor (Van Gogh…LOL…would you believe that Rembrandt was a precursor to “blonde modern wood in your kitchen?”….

    59. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 12:44 am

      OK tmint, the PM said they did find blood and IN THE TRUNK, dumbass.

    60. WoodGuy on June 12th, 2005 12:44 am

      If Daddy Van Der Sleaze negotiates an “accidental” death plea for these pricks I still think they should hang for making Nat’s family go through this for 2 weeks. What a mistake in letting them go at the beginning. I mean, did they even photograph them for cuts, scratches, etc….

    61. jim fortenberry on June 12th, 2005 12:45 am

      how funny – “baby” sit

      yes, when you “baby” sit you allow the “babies” to run wild with psychopathic killers

      yes, they were just there to “baby” sit – remind me to never let you take care of my children

    62. mordred on June 12th, 2005 12:46 am

      Whitney – Do you have somethin’ against the Dutch?? I am not getting the gist of your posts!

    63. bengalbaby on June 12th, 2005 12:47 am

      Heh…Whitney said.WOOD..

    64. Red on June 12th, 2005 12:47 am

      GPTMB

      As much as I say do not feel guilty for what happened, I am sure you will because it is human nature. Those who are responsible for the actual missing of Natalee should feel guilt. We have all been there at one point in our lives and to some extent. Some of us more than others. There are plenty of things that I wish I could have done in my life that would have better protected friends and family. Some work and some do not.

      Nothing anyone says here that may be derogatory will ever make anyone feel worse than they already do. I feel for the family and friends.

      No matter what happens you guys are not to blame. Could things have been done differently, sure. But you are not to blame. God bless.

    65. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 12:47 am

      blood was found in car

    66. Rick on June 12th, 2005 12:48 am

      Gasp – BT and Deputy no longer post, instead we have “Weenie” – who is almost certainly the same effing tool.

      Hey dumba** – feel better now that you’ve made your insipid point blaming the chaperones for the billionth time, and hurt the feelings of one of Natalee’s classmates?

      Somehow your concern for the well being of the kids seems less likely than you wanting to hurt someone’s feelings.

      You are an absolute tool. We all knew that when you made that “whoring their daughter” remark – I’d love to collect your posts and forward them to your coworkers and family…

    67. jim fortenberry on June 12th, 2005 12:48 am

      CHAPERONES

    68. SA on June 12th, 2005 12:48 am

    69. jim fortenberry on June 12th, 2005 12:49 am

      I SAID NOTHING ABOUT WHORING

    70. jim fortenberry on June 12th, 2005 12:49 am

      maybe the chaperones were out whoring when they should’ve been looking out for the welfare of the CHILDREN

      Has anyone heard any more on the blood results that fox said were back?

    73. Compananzi on June 12th, 2005 12:49 am

      What a weird set of circumstances, this morning I was almost relived the fake foxnews story was right about the body being found and one of the suspect confessed. Now I’m not sure after retractions and finger pointing.

      I do have a question… this festival Soul Festival, where was it held? and at what hours…some post ago here or somewhere mentioned that the Festival had their own security guards and seem to match the description of the Suriname bros…any clue on this?

    74. Rick on June 12th, 2005 12:50 am

      TOM – Obviously BT/Deputy/Weenie, etc. is the same troll here..

      Are you shutting us down when we get to the end of this page?

    75. chloe_luvs_squirrels on June 12th, 2005 12:50 am

      I’ve been reading all of your posts for most of the day. Is there anyone else here who can identify with being a silly teenage (almost college age) girl out having fun? I see myself in Natalee…maybe ten years ago, but still just as reckless. I can think back about things I did that were just so stupid. The only difference between anyone of us and Natalee is just luck. In her case, a lack of it…..

    76. Minnesota girl on June 12th, 2005 12:50 am

      Jamaicanice- You should be ashamed of yourself. If your idea of coming on this messageboard was to provide a personal attack against Americans, then you need to find another one to do just that. I find it quite insulting that in a time of grief and tragedy you have not only insulted my homeland, but also a girl and her family. Just FYI, our country is much more powerful and can field a larger army than yours ever can and excuse us Americans for having concern and hope for the well-being of one of our fellow Americans. Americans stick together, and maybe your country should learn from ours on how to respect other people. If one of your citizens were in the same situation, I know I would not get on a messageboard designed for helping to cope with the tragedy and as an information source and personally attack you and your country. Its called common courtesy and class- something you obviously lack. And FYI- the Americans that have visited your country may have given you a bad impression, but not all of us exhibit that behavior, and it is not fair to sterotype. I haven’t seen anybody on here write “Jamaicans are evil and bad and deserve to be kidnapped and die” which is the impression I got from your postings. Have some respect for people of the world. You don’t have to like our country-a lot of people don’t. But, you also don’t have the right to badmouth our nation and people when you have not been exposed to all of us. Yes, our nation has its share of not so nice people, but it also has plenty of wonderful, kind-hearted ones too. If your nation ever needed our help, I’m sure Americans would lend a hand. But thar is not the point- the point is to respect Natalee and her family and those of us who care to find her, instead of attacking others.

    77. Whitney on June 12th, 2005 12:50 am

      …someone needs to ask guard #1 and #2 (on the Fox News net OR MSNBC or CNN) when and if they’re released:

      so, what did they ask you when you were incarirated?

      Do you wanna say anthying to the world-wide press?

      OK…hereis the microphone…say what you want….

      (On the Dutch world-wide network…beaming our stream to Indonesia?….

      INDONESIA: can you hear us from Aruba? Please come here and vacation at C & C on Aruba….oh, BTW, it’s safe, here!

    78. KerinTX on June 12th, 2005 12:50 am

      Not to bash the chaperones but there have been a lot of opinions on what the chaperones were NOT there to do but the question should be what IS their job/responsibility of this type trip? No matter the outcome of this, I hope that is one thing that will be looked at by this community before they plan another senior trip. I know the high school where I teach has chaperones sign forms and we are assigned specific students. Some of these kids have never been out of the country and they DO need some supervision, regardless of age.

    79. mordred on June 12th, 2005 12:51 am

      Definition of Chaperon:
      S: (n) chaperon, chaperone (one who accompanies and supervises a young woman or gatherings of young people) .

      Where is the supervision??

    80. bengalbaby on June 12th, 2005 12:51 am

      Me too chloe!!..

    81. SA on June 12th, 2005 12:51 am

      and I said the chaperones were NOT there to babysit. Or at least I meant to say that.

    82. dg465 on June 12th, 2005 12:52 am

      I agree with previous postings – where were the chaperones? Does anyone know exactly who they were? How is it smart to let 130 grads run free and wasted with only a handful of adults? 18 yr olds are not smart or mature enuff to handle these things. Let them make mistakes at college, but not in a foreign land with predators waiting for fresh meat.

    83. K in TX on June 12th, 2005 12:52 am

      Whitney, can you please clarify your thoughts? Kind of random.

    84. Rick on June 12th, 2005 12:53 am

      The mayor of Birmingham said they were not “chaperones” – they were a group of adults who went along on the trip with their kids and assumed no responsibility for them – they were of legal age in Aruba, and previous trips were without incident – just good fun.

    85. chloe_luvs_squirrels on June 12th, 2005 12:53 am

      What’s really scary is that I look like her too….

    86. bengalbaby on June 12th, 2005 12:53 am

      They can make the mistakes in front of the predators waiting for fresh meat in the colleges they go to!!

    87. Rick on June 12th, 2005 12:53 am

      Tom – same person is trolling under multiple aliases… can you block the email address or IP address?

    88. SA on June 12th, 2005 12:54 am

      The colloquial meaning of chaperone has evolved in our modern lexicon- don’t be obtuse.

    89. concerned mom on June 12th, 2005 12:55 am

      Chloe, plenty of us here either remember when we made incredibly stupid choices or we have kids who do/did. It’s just that some here are incredibly hurtful and feel they are doing someone a service by blaming Natalee or her parents or friends or the chaperones.

    90. bengalbaby on June 12th, 2005 12:55 am

      Wow…. somebody actually had the ba**sto use the word “obtuse”!….Nose in air!!

    91. --- on June 12th, 2005 12:55 am

      Hey… Look, I was there… the chaperones can’t be blamed, they went above and beyond for us. Please don’t blame them, it’s not their fault.

    92. rick in bogalusa on June 12th, 2005 12:55 am

      The chaperones were there to have a good time, to relax and party. They were there to set a good example for the children by ignoring and avoiding them while they were murdered by drug-deranged foreigners. THAT is what a senior graduation trip is all about. Survival of the fittest. The chaperones were not to blame, they had better things to do than babysit. 18 year old women can handle themselves when drugged and raped. How can you blame the chaperones? They were doing what all the parents expected – NOTHING!

    93. chloe_luvs_squirrels on June 12th, 2005 12:56 am

      The debate over chaperone is silly. What about spring break in Fort Lauderdale or South TX? No one goes with chaperones there.

    94. Whitney on June 12th, 2005 12:56 am

      …and I should have also asked: Surinam…are these peeps from Suriname? Or was it Surinam?

      Or, was it Indonesia and are you sure you want your daughter or son to “hang out” but maybe you do/oh I would….

      Go to Aruba!….Don’t…no way and don’t….

    95. bengalbaby on June 12th, 2005 12:57 am

      Drug Deranged foreigners?….Who were the foreigners?…Man…Wake UP!

    96. SA on June 12th, 2005 12:57 am

      This could have happened in Tuscaloosa and no one would have blamed her dorm counselors or sorority house mom. No one could have prevented it- it was a tragedy.

    97. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 12:57 am

      Nope, you can’t blame the adults that were on the trip. You have to blame the perpetrators. The adult-to-teenager ratio tells you that they weren’t there to keep the group of 100+ together at all times.

    98. K in TX on June 12th, 2005 12:58 am

      RANDOM!

      Dude, like I said ages ago – if you feel that way, I posted the number of the Holiday Inn. Go call them and vent your spleen, tell them what a horrible job they did and what poor judgement they used and how superior you are, as “Parent of the Year” – sitting behind your computer and hurting the feelings of those already suffering.

      A-hole.

      Bunch of teenagers just doing what teenagers do….can’t blame the parents..can’t blame the adult helpers on the trip..can’t blame the bar……can’t blame the island…can’t blame Natalee…….CAN BLAME the animals that did it !!! and if it wasn’t Nat it damn sure would have been someone else.

    104. concerned mom on June 12th, 2005 12:59 am

      As a parent of an almost 18 year old, I guarantee you that when my daughter decides to do something, no one and nothing will stop her, no matter how stupid it is. Even if her friends tell her it’s stupid, if she really wants to do it, she will. Quit blaming the chaperones, her parents and her friends. Blame the jerk who hurt her.

    105. chloe_luvs_squirrels on June 12th, 2005 1:00 am

      I know c mom, it’s just I feel so incredibly sad today. The worst part of all of this, is that she seemed to be a great girl. Smart, pretty…really had her shit together. The worst part is that this ugly way that her life might have ended is so out there now. It just makes me sad for her & for her family……

    113. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 1:02 am

      The chaperones are not to blame, though I’m sure they regret. All should get a wake up call that predators are all around and her friends who saw her get in the car should not have let her go with those thugs alone.

    114. K in TX on June 12th, 2005 1:02 am

      I think we just have SO many people in this world that are all about themselves. And they are SO self-righteous, so they feel the need to take a sad, horrible situation, and try to make it worse. They’ll let everyone know how *they* would do it, or how it *should* have been done. My bet is, that these people don’t have children of their own. It’s always SO easy to tell everyone how to parent, until you’ve been in the parenting shoes.

      Regardless, it shows a complete lack of character, sensitivity and class to come to a board about a missing young girl, and point fingers and make hurtful comments. Must feel good to be you!

    115. mordred on June 12th, 2005 1:02 am

      OK- nobody is blamng the chaperones. I can’t even imagine how they must be feeling!!

      We are just discussing responsibilities so that if any of us are in the the same situation in the future, we know whats expected of us. There are definitely lessons to be learned here.

      & Yeah- whitney, what do your posts mean??????????

      Police: Well if that is true the cameras don’t lie, and she is nowhere to be found…how do you explain that.
      Suspect1: Well I guess something bad must have happened to her.
      AP news: Sir, did the suspect offer any explanation of Natalee’s where abouts?
      Police: No, he said he believed something bad must have happened.
      News: Teen confesses to police, saying something bad happened.

      The fox geraldo show is a repeat. 3 hours old

    131. KerinTX on June 12th, 2005 1:07 am

      SA…you are probably right. I guess I don’t understand why it would even be necessary to send adults on this trip if they served no purpose. Why not just send the kids and give them the name/number of the local embassy in case they lost a passport, etc? But when you send “adults” and call them “chaperones” they DO have some responsibilities to monitor things.
      I am in no way blaming them or saying the outcome to this would have been any different. But sometimes when a chaperones presence is “known” then outsiders are less willing to try and befriend kids in the group.
      Again, NOT bashing the chaperones as this is just a very sad and unfortunate situation.

    132. --- on June 12th, 2005 1:07 am

      I know they didnt drop her off at any point in the night at the hotel… we were out by the pool the whole night…. we would have seen her.

      Whitney, can you please clarify your thoughts? Kind of random.

      The Aruba-land sits just north of SA and Venezuela, specifially.

      Do you know of its history?

      OK…I’m sure you’re looking it up as we converse.

      The “guys” who’re in control are named Van…blah blah blah….

      they guys who are not are named, John, et al.

      All they guys who’re named John are still in jail, notwithstanding they’re sworn statements and testaments that they weren’t in Natalee’s pants….

      The guys who ‘admitted to being in her ‘intimates’ are locked up with the other 2 guys who’ve been there for the past two weeks.

      Damn. It’s just ‘Dutch’ justice, NO?

      OTOH, I like the ‘blonde’ wood and the plain surface wood with a minimal hardware presentation….oh, I’m so Hollandere….

      Someone please save me from my ‘Aruba’ being….

      Lovies….Whitney

    145. Minnesota girl on June 12th, 2005 1:10 am

      To all the ppl from Aruba- I want to thank you for helping to give us the information yu have. Although your investigation process seems long and frustrating to us, we are by no means trying to insult your country or imply that your island is full of crime and poverty. We are just so used to being given lots of information in cases like this in America, example, Elizabeth Smart, but we respect your country for the effort they are making to solve this mystery and to hopefully bring Natalee home. As many of us know, every country has their share of criminals and just because something like this happened, it does not mean Aruba is not a safe-place to live or visit. People go missing all the time in America and yet we still fill fit to live there. If we have offended you in any way, I would like to apologize. Right now we are working together as a team and are all frustrated about the lack of information being presented- both Arubans and Americans alike. I pray for your island and that it will return to normal and continue to thrive as a beautiful vacation destination as well as a home to many Aruban citizens and respect your country for the hard work and steps they have taken to solve this case and find her.

      MSNBC ran some pretty good criminal stories today, which does not bode well for the outcome. Part of me hopes for a safe return but the odds seem so staggering. Basically the stories show that nice peaceful places when a murder occurs, its very hard to phantom that someone native or from that town did it. The speculation is probably that some transcient is at fault. Also from the many stories prominent and influencial families whom member stand accused do stymie police investigation. Had it not been for the massive hour by hour coverage, this would have gone by the way side, like Amy Bradley story. Or one similar in Jamaica as well. The other way that sometimes reattention is gained is if someone did investigative stories or wrote a book.

      Underwater Cave — Grotto type thing — might have just hid her out. That’s my long-shot theory, but basically it’s just that everyone just refuses to think negatively. Everyone feels that if we pray and hold out hope that she will come home to us safe and sound.

      Note: Kudos to the Aruban *people* for their willingness and eagerness to show and offer their support to the family.

      It is quite apparant that the Aruban and Dutch gov’t, however, really don’t have a clue how to handle this, and have already made mistakes in this investigation due to their own inexperience with anything of this magnitude. I’m not a fan of Geraldo Rivera, but by God, Geraldo and Fox may actually be able to get all these people on the same *page* for once in 14 days, because it’s truly disturbing that there are serious discrepancies in communication between the police, the Aruban gov’t and the Dutch, as well at those same parties *back* to the family.

    242. Compananzi on June 12th, 2005 1:29 am

      Stories say that the Honda belongs to Joran. Also stories say Nat left with them and was seen driving away, would she be in the front driver passenger side? I find it hard to believe that Joran would say to his friends drive us cuz I am going to do some kissing in the back? I hope they lift finger prints from the rear view mirror and if the finger prints of the Kalpoes bros is not on then someone is lying. Then again all not searching the car, lots of evidence can be lost.

Plus, she smiled and waved, which gave off a message that she was secure in her decision to go off with the guy she’d met.

      As to “leaving with three guys”, there is a report that Natalee thought she was only leaving with one guy, actually walked out with just the one guy, then somehow it became three.

    293. Curious on June 12th, 2005 1:40 am

      Yeah, I met the kid, but like I told GPT, I thought everyone was sketchy that didnt go to MB, maybe that sounds bad, but it’s the truth.

    307. Juvenal on June 12th, 2005 1:44 am

      I haven’t been keeping up with the discussion here for a few days. I’ve had other things to do.

      I have to say I’m appalled at some of the things people are saying, knowing that this girl’s family and friends are reading.

      What good will it do to scream about it being this person’s or that person’s fault? I’m sure anyone who was there, whether chaperone or friend, is feeling bad enough already, even though there wasn’t reasonably anything they could have done.

      And for those making snide or harsh comments about Natalee herself: Many of you have done some of the same things that you accuse her of. You don’t know what happened.

      As for myself, there are a lot of things that I’ve done in the past that I would prefer the whole world didn’t know about me, as have all of you. I’m just thankful that the circumstances have never been such that everybody was speculating on my character when I wasn’t able to defend myself!

    308. KerinTX on June 12th, 2005 1:44 am

      Astrid…your mom does that out of love and maybe also from the “fear” we, as moms, have in hearts especially after stories like Natalee’s happen. I know many young girls who’s moms let them do as they please and that does not make them any happier. I am sure you hear this all the time, but when YOU are a mom, you will understand what I am saying! :-)

    309. annie on June 12th, 2005 1:44 am

      i have gone out with two guys in NYC before by myself at 19 yrs. old while on vacation w my parents. Went to bars, even their appt. Luckily nothing happnd. Even though, can’t blame Natalee for doing something a lot of us have done.

    310. Shawns on June 12th, 2005 1:44 am

      it depends what ytype of dna test

    311. RB on June 12th, 2005 1:44 am

      Island Bunny – a full workup for DNA takes 6 weeks, normally. They do a less comprehensive analysis which matches a certain number of genomes in a matter of 24 -48 hours.

    312. concerned mom on June 12th, 2005 1:44 am

      Astrid, you are at that age where you don’t believe something awful will happen to you. It’s so easy to second guess. My sister was raped by a group of guys she knew for months. You never know what can happen and there will come a time that you will probably think it safe to go around a corner, alone, with a guy for a few minutes. Your mom knows more than you realize and that is why she doesn’t let you out of her sight.

    313. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 1:45 am

      Astrid, their cellphones weren’t working when they got down to Aruba. That’s probably why Natalee didn’t bother to carry hers with her when she went to CnC.

    314. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 1:45 am

      My hope that she is alive lies in what i read on another blog that a searcher saw a girl in a car and a guy chased them away with an ax. —, since you saw her leave, did she get in the front seat?

    315. googler on June 12th, 2005 1:45 am

      Legal gambling age is also 18. That didn’t seem to stop 17 year old Joran from gambling & (I assume) drinking. Maybe he managed driving too. He also lied about his age on his web sites.

    316. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 1:45 am

      RB – thanks!

    317. concerned mom on June 12th, 2005 1:45 am

      Kerin, you said it well

    318. annie on June 12th, 2005 1:46 am

      what?! chased with an ax?!?

    319. RB on June 12th, 2005 1:46 am

      Welcome, Island Bunny.

    321. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 1:47 am

      Does this description sound like a familiar area to anyone from Aruba or those who visited…..

      the rock formations by the sea (near the big industrial area)?

    322. sadmom on June 12th, 2005 1:47 am

      Joran probably uses fake id’s much the same as people do here in the u.s.

    323. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 1:47 am

      did natalee think he was weird? did she say anything to you about him?

    324. RB on June 12th, 2005 1:47 am

      IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou – link to blog please?

    325. --- on June 12th, 2005 1:47 am

      I didn’t see her get into the car… I talked to her when we all left the club and asked if she was ok, and she said yeah. I thought she was going to leave with another group of Mtn. Brook kids that were a few feet in front of us, b/c me and a couple others went to check another club to make sure no one got left. I guess she got in the car somewhere between walking with me and going up to the other group.

    326. Michele on June 12th, 2005 1:48 am

      Didnt Joran about get in a fight with some guys from your school?

    327. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 1:48 am

      concerned mom- Actually, I don’t believe that something awful will not happen to me. But I’d rather die living than not live at all. How can you stereotype my whole, very diverse age group as ‘that age where you don’t believe something awful will happen to you’? Maybe your teenage daughter is like that, but I’m not. I only have a few good friends and I’d trust them all with my life. Two of them are guys, both of whom I’ve known for over 4 years. And frankly, I’d trust them as much as my own parents.. though I guess my dad really doesn’t count, since he’s bipolar/borderline schizophrenic.

    328. Lola on June 12th, 2005 1:48 am

      joran is also 6’5″ and presents an older image from that I think

    329. Shawns on June 12th, 2005 1:48 am

      anyone on yahoo messenger?

    330. annie on June 12th, 2005 1:49 am

      no one has mentioned a motive. i still think she is alive, partly b/c i don’t see why a 17 yr. old would want to kill her

    331. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 1:50 am

      Dallas Also: I wasn’t accusing Natalee of not using her cell phone, I knew that the kids on the trip couldn’t use their cell phones. I was replying to concerned mom about my own safety.. sorry I wasn’t exactly on topic.

    332. NativeLingo on June 12th, 2005 1:50 am

      MAZ…sounds like the caves to me

    333. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 1:50 am

      i think shes alive inthe caves

    334. Lola on June 12th, 2005 1:50 am

      He wouldnt want to kill her, maybe he just lost his famous temper and hurt that way

    335. KerinTX on June 12th, 2005 1:51 am

      Thanks, CMom :-)
      Astrid sounds like my own daughter talking (I even went in to check and see if she was online..LOL). No matter what I said, I know she felt like I was being too protective. Then lately a few things have happened with girls in her school (a few pregnancies, a drug bust, even a murder) and she realized on her own why I am like I am.
      (and we live in a very nice area of TX that sounds a lot like Natalee’s hometown)

    336. RB on June 12th, 2005 1:51 am

      Joran is hiding behind Daddy’s judge robes. The whole discussion about whether Ms. Holloway “trusted” this one or that one is irrelevant – someone should be mighty p*ssed about the delay arresting these 3 men/boys and preserving any evidence which either could have exonerated them, or found Natalee sooner.

    337. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 1:51 am

      —, tomorrow there will be more posters on this blog from Aruba. They are providing some good local info.

      Main thing is, don’t blame yourself. Blame whoever grabbed her. You did good to ask her if she was ok. And you probably wouldn’t have known if she was under the influence of GHB (the date-rape drug). It doesn’t cause unconsciousness, it just makes you lose your logic.

    338. annie on June 12th, 2005 1:51 am

      but it didn’t seem like sexual resistance was an issue

    339. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 1:51 am

      I’m not sur ewhich blog. will try to find it again and let you know from where I come, ok?

    340. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 1:51 am

      maybe he raped her, was afriad of going to jail, so killed her. easy as that.

      —did she say anything to you about him? like did she have a crush on him?

    341. concerned mom on June 12th, 2005 1:51 am

      Astrid, I also work with teens and few are those who see risks realistically. Teens usually believe they are better able to handle things than they actually are. Just the fact that you believe you, at 14, almost 15, are ready for more than your mom KNOWS you are ready for tells me you are not thinking realistically.

    342. Shawns on June 12th, 2005 1:52 am

      I hope they taped that little s-head on the phone talking with his friends.

    343. Lola on June 12th, 2005 1:52 am

      This is the reason why The aruban police just have to get those guys to break… Look at how all of you are hoping against hope that she is still alive. Imagine her parents… this is just cruel.

    344. RB on June 12th, 2005 1:52 am

      IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! Says – thanks, I’d appreciate that.

    345. --- on June 12th, 2005 1:53 am

      “Tell me its not true” – Im’ not responding to any of your questions…. your flippant attitude and hurtful posts don’t warrant reply… Don’t ask me questions, I don’t want to talk to you.

    346. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 1:53 am

      KerinTX – There’ve been quite a few murders around my hometown, one was even a few blocks from my house. People I know take drugs. Alot of girls my age in town have had abortions. I haven’t done either of those things, and I still believe what I believe. I know how to stay as safe as I can..

      But to both Kerin and concernedmom, thanks for your concern. =)

    347. Shawns on June 12th, 2005 1:54 am

      12 days is a long time

    348. SA on June 12th, 2005 1:54 am

      Astrid it isn’t you, some other asshole was just hasseling – - – saying he should have called her. None of them had cell phones and she certainly didn’t have one on her, she didn’t even have a purse.

    349. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 1:54 am

      I don’t know what the heck to think anymore. I would love to think that she is still alive… I would also like to hear that it wasn’t a homicide. But nothing adds up or makes any sense. It’s all speculation.

      If these guys were the last to be seen with her and they are being detained..something bad did indeed happen and now theres blood…I dont think the outcome will be good. I don’t think that she was hidden in a cave either…I mean come on. How many days and nights in Arubas heat would you stay hiding in a cave…esp without food or water and possibly hurt. This is a extremely intelligent girl we are talking about here.

    350. annie on June 12th, 2005 1:54 am

      she is still alive. wonder what is holding her back

    351. RB on June 12th, 2005 1:54 am

      Shawn/Island Bunny, you’re both absolutely right.

    352. concerned mom on June 12th, 2005 1:54 am

      Kerin, I understand. My daughter sounded just like Astrid at her age and even when she met a drug dealer at our church youth group, she insisted she knew him better than I did and that he would never get her in trouble. I didn’t buy that one.

    353. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 1:55 am

      uhhh ok, that was harsh.

    354. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 1:55 am

      concerned mom – I’m sorry bad things happened to girls you work with. I just don’t see wy you go places by yourself, though. I’m 5′ 8″ and strong. You’re probably not even as tall as I am. What makes you safer? Age? I’m not naieve.

    355. Lola on June 12th, 2005 1:56 am

      It is incredible that these 3 little pissants can keep quite for so long and not give up where they put Natalee. I really smell a rat here.

    356. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 1:56 am

      just bc you dont have answers bc you probably werent there doesnt mean you have to get an attitude.

    357. --- on June 12th, 2005 1:56 am

      well you are being just as harsh to me, if not worse. Please think about things before you say them… I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings, but you have to understand, my friend is missing and I was one of the last people to talk to her… it’s more than a little bit difficult for me.

    358. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 1:56 am

      concerned mom – I never said I was friends with drug dealers, I just said I know some people who take drugs. I’m not friends with any of them, however. All of my friends are clean, honest teens.

    359. RB on June 12th, 2005 1:57 am

      Lola – pissants? ;) Got a chuckle out of that….and you’re dead on.

    360. annie on June 12th, 2005 1:57 am

      there is no reason that their stories shouldn’t match up. if they are innocent they should realize that it’s gotten over their heads if they are just trying to cover up something minor- drugs, rape……

    361. Rafa on June 12th, 2005 1:57 am

      Natalee Holloway Appears in Dreams

      In the series of blogs under this title I will be publishing dreams in which Natalee Holloway appears. The idea is that dreams could provide insight into the whereabouts of Natalee. Dreams are an interface between day awareness and the deeper levels where we find psychic awareness. The design is simple. If we get sufficient dreams and common factors emerge among them, we might be able to derive some kind of insight into what happened/is happening. This can be especially useful given the lack of any other kind of conventional/sensorial information. This type of format is called Remote Viewing (RV) and we know the CIA has a long history of working with RV. Within this format we could perhaps tap a collective RV potential. I am a psychologist who specializes in dreaming especially the paranormal aspects of dreaming. Upcoming Tuesday I will be on a local (Aruba) talk show where we will try to gather dreams of the whole island regarding Natalee Holloway. Please feel free from wherever you are to send me dreams you have had recently in which she appears. Your dream could provide crucial information. Only when many dreams in which she appears are put together can we perhaps glimpse something. To be sure the contents of these dreams could be symbolical hence requiring a trained eye to decipher their meaning. With the permission of the person who sends the dream/s dreamer I will post them as a blog.

      Here follows 2 dreams of a woman on Aruba in which Natalee appears:

      1. I was in my car following another small black car, but I did not know exactly where we were riding. After a while I saw Natalee being thrown out of the car and screaming for help.

      2. Tuesday fore day morning: I dreamt that I saw a hand come out of the ground behind the prison (KIA). It was so horrible that I woke up all frightened and anxious.

    362. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 1:57 am

      then why are you on here reading this stuff? if you were the last one to talk to her why are you on this message board? if you are that hurt, why are you reading this stuff?

    363. WoodGuy on June 12th, 2005 1:57 am

      Bush….you actually took the time out from surfin’ porn and cumming in your own hand to post on here….you’re a real fucking hero

    364. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 1:58 am

      SA – Sorry X|

    365. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 1:58 am

      she changed her hair color to black. she cut her hair short. She’s probably still by the rock formations near the sea (by the big industrial area). She’s runaway before on a trip to costa rica. none of her friends wanted to say anything.

      -Lindsey

    366. RB on June 12th, 2005 1:58 am

      – (you know, you-who-cannot-be-named)

      I imagine it is difficult for you, however I am curious why you’re on a messageboard like this one; not everyone is going to have the sensitivity you might desire.

    367. concerned mom on June 12th, 2005 1:59 am

      Astrid, I am barely shorter than you at 5’7″. When you grow up and have kids you will see how naive your own beliefs as a young teen are. We all grow through that age, you are no different. I once believed as you do and have since grown up, you will too.

    368. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 1:59 am

      What Natalee has going for her is that she’s smart. Smart people solve problems extremely well. They work their way through problems. They dig out an answer. I hope to see a great TV movie about her survival, one day.

    369. Shawns on June 12th, 2005 1:59 am

      RB–I wish I wasnt right but everyone really needs to realize that she may never be found. Thoseboys could have put her body in the ocean.The three suspects have already lawyered up… I dont think we will ever know what really happened that night.It is a real tragedy…

    370. Lola on June 12th, 2005 1:59 am

      RB-

      Everything about this story is wrong from the arrest of the two guards , letting the 3 go and not talking to the 3 until 12 hours later….. it is all reeking of nepotism, corruption and what will ultimately be shown as scandal

    371. SA on June 12th, 2005 1:59 am

      Did she really run away before? I thought that rumor had been discredited.

    372. RB on June 12th, 2005 1:59 am

      Rafa – what are you taking so we can take it too? :)

    373. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:00 am

      Look, tmint, I’m just going to stop reading everything you post becasue you are not helping. I was up because it’s been kind of hard to sleep, and I was talking to my friend who said that there were people who were helpful and nice on here… I guess you weren’t one of them.

    374. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:00 am

      she did not run away

    375. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 2:00 am

      (first time posting…have been just reading for a couple of days)…Somebody said that there was a suspicious white van by the caves….has anybody else heard that? It was said earlier today…but I can’t recall where…It was during the time that they were talking about a “crime scene”.

    376. KerinTX on June 12th, 2005 2:00 am

      Yes Mom…it is always the attitude of “maybe my friends are doing it but I don’t”. The problem with that philosophy is that chances are, when you associate with that type of life, after awhile it begins to seem normal to you… and you give in. I know girls don’t want to be seen as “goodie two shoes” by their peers but there is just such a fine line.

      And to quote my now deceased father “You are judged by the company you keep”.

      I used to think that was SO hokie but no matter the age, it still applies.

    377. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:00 am

      Look, concernedmom, I know you think you’ve got all teens figured out.. because you’re a mom. I’m sure you’re a great mom, too, but you really have to take each case individually, and with a grain of salt. I’ll always be who I am. I honestly doubt that I’ll gain any maturity.. if you think that’s a shame, then so be it. I don’t see what’s so naieve or idealistic about my views, though. When I am a young twentysomething and living alone, I’ll be sure to carry mace and a cell phone.

    378. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:01 am

    380. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:01 am

      She never ran away, I don’t know who this Linsey person is, but she obviously doens’t know what she’s talking about.

      Annie-

      How do you know that? Was there ever any instance of leaving her parents on a trip, for any reason at all? Anything remotely close to getting lost or running away or being plain mad at her parents on a trip?

      If anyone can answer this question it would be helpful….

    385. concerned mom on June 12th, 2005 2:02 am

      Kerin, so true. Astrid, trust me, you aren’t through growing yet, you never will be.

    386. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:02 am

      what happened in the amy? case where she was sold?

    387. RB on June 12th, 2005 2:02 am

      Lola – AMEN

      Shawn – You don’t know how right you are. During the Haitian migration, I was a rescue diver who had the honor (and I mean that) of recovering those unfortunates who drowned on the way to Puerto Rico or the US. Some we were able to, others we could never find. The same applied for recovery operations for flood victims. It’s a very sad thing.

    388. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:02 am

      KerinTX – I feel sorry for the spineless teens who give in to harmful peer pressure like that. My own father abused marijuana, cocaine, and various other drugs, and never once have I tried any of them.

    389. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 2:02 am

      I paid for my college in the Navy. One of my friends was swept off a carrier flight deck in fromt of numerous others. The ship immediately went into man overboard scenarios and his body was never found.

    401. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:05 am

      no. not that case. that was elizabeth smart. there was a girl a few yrs. ago i think who was sold and found years later

    402. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:05 am

      sadmom – *rolls eyes* How judgmental of you. I won’t take allergy medicine tablets or sleeping pills because they’re addictive.. I’ll never consume any drugs.. I’ve viewed firsthand how they harm families’ wellbeing.

    403. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:05 am

      when was amy found? her parents were on cnn tonight talking about it, and nothing was mentoned of her being found

    404. SA on June 12th, 2005 2:05 am

      Is anyone from MBHS still out there? I have to log off in a minute to go to a party and I was hoping you could talk about the theories that she is still alive.

    405. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:05 am

      nine additional FBI agents arrived in Aruba today around 3 pm. One story indicates that they brought dogs along.

    406. Nate on June 12th, 2005 2:06 am

      Annie….Amy Bradley is still missing…

    407. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:06 am

      Nate, yeah, she did…. I know for a fact that she didnt run away. She has never run away before either. She was very happy about going to Alabama, her biggest problem was deciding whether or not she wanted to do the Honors program there! She didnt run away.

    408. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:06 am

      concerned mom – Yeah, I basically do think the same way I did when I was 10. Except no one close to me had died yet, so now I’m more jaded.

    409. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 2:07 am

      I Don’t Know Nuttin – thanks for the link. I don’t buy it though….lol

    410. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:07 am

      —maybe you should think realistic. do you know everything shes ever done in her life?

    411. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:07 am

      oh. i just heard of the story earlier on this site. I thought that she was spotted somewhere else and asked a local for help, but he was un aware of who she was- she was lost again? i think

    412. sadmom on June 12th, 2005 2:07 am

      Astrid,
      So, how long have you “felt the same way”. If you think the way you did at 10, do you think the way you did at 6 or 7??

    413. Nate on June 12th, 2005 2:07 am

      — yeah, I remember those type of thoughts from the summer before my freshman year too!

    414. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:08 am

      can i see the link?

    415. Shawns on June 12th, 2005 2:08 am

    416. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 2:08 am

      Annie-

      How do you know that? Was there ever any instance of leaving her parents on a trip, for any reason at all? Anything remotely close to getting lost or running away or being plain mad at her parents on a trip?

      If anyone can answer this question it would be helpful….

    417. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:08 am

      tell me it’s not true- back on scaredmonkeys somewhere

    418. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:09 am

      yeah… she’s a happy girl…. it’s really upsetting that people think she just ran away… she’s not like that, I’ve known her for a long time.

    419. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:09 am

      yeah i didnt think amy was found yet….

    421. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 2:10 am

      Geez…Tell Me It’s Not True… why so harsh?? Maybe this person really does know Natalee. You’ll never really know one way or the other….maybe it’s just easier for you to be mean and negative?

    422. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:10 am

      no. i was talking about amy bradley

    424. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 2:10 am

      Posted by arubian girl:Posted on: 1:02 am, Jun 07, 2005
      Hi, I am an arubian, born and raised, it’s true that late in the afternoon some women working for the radio station top 95.1 fm who supported the massive search today said that they spotted a girl in the backseat of a car hidden behind some bushes, they were looking in an area we called barcadera, it’s an very difficult area to access, and when the girls where walking towards the hidden car one of the two men ask her, what are you looking for and she anwser that they were looking for the missing girl Natalee and then she saw a girl in the backseat of the car again that looks like she said “exactly like Natalee” and when the man noticed that she has spotted the girl he ran back to the car and grab an axe and started to run after her, she run as fast as she could and went hidding in an bush, she called the radiostation and the police, but by the time they got there the car was gone, luckely shememorised the carnumber. After that the police went but they silenced the radiostation cause they fear that if it is Natalee they could put her life in danger, so they are investigating and if I get any news on this I will post it.
      Let’s hope its her and that she will be rescued soon and reunited once again with her family.
      Hold on Natalee we are looking for you,
      Our prayers and toughts are with you, your family and your friends.

    425. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 2:10 am

      amy bradley was sold, so they think, and was seen in a brothel in venezuela. she has not been found. missing since 1998

    426. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:11 am

      well, shes in here so she must want to take the risk of getting hurt by peoples opinions.

    427. KerinTX on June 12th, 2005 2:11 am

      Astrid…you sound like a smart young woman…street-wise to some degree. But your personality is formed through your life -experiences and at 15, you still have a LOT of experiences left! I am sure your basic morals and beliefs have been formed but you are still an impressionable young person…exactly as you should be! It is that “impressionable young woman” that your mom is trying to protect, I am sure.

    428. Shawns on June 12th, 2005 2:11 am

      –I didnt think a guy would have the insights into a female friend like you have shared with us

    429. Lola on June 12th, 2005 2:11 am

      Dallas-
      More FBI with dogs is the best news her parents can hear at this point. The Aruban Officials are AWOL

    430. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:11 am

      Straight A students aren’t runaways. Probably just a misinterpretation. Maybe the family was travelling in Costa Rica and accidentally got separated, and maybe they contacted the local authorities for help. Hardly the same as “she ran off”, but stories just get misinterpretted. For all we know, she was 8 years old at the time and the parents just lost sight of her. I’m just making this up as an illustration of how that Costa Rica story might have even come up.

    431. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:11 am

      Thanks Island Bunny. I don’t really care if people believe me or not and I know there are some ignorant people out there, and I’m just ignoring them (or trying!) It helps to find people who are supportive, we’ve all been through a lot and it’s nice to know that others care.

    432. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:12 am

      sadmom – Pretty much, you know? I remember I was always inquisitive and cautious, ever since I can remember, which was when I was around 3 years old. I know this may seem ridiculous, but I’ve pretty much thought the same way ever since. Though, I was more prone to temper tantrums back then.. I never was a kid for Disney movies or ‘dumb kids shows’.. I always liked nature, like I do now.. and I always tried to reason optimistically.

    433. Shawns on June 12th, 2005 2:12 am

      tmits Have you ever heard of the word EMPATHY?

    434. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:12 am

      thanks for clearing that up, jessi

    435. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:12 am

      that’s crazy. i didn’t know that happened still- and gone still for so long. seems like amy could escape somehow

    436. me@myhouse.com on June 12th, 2005 2:13 am

      Why couldn’t those guys in Aruba rape a US soldier and leave that poor girl alone?

    437. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 2:13 am

      We just had a smart happy girl we knew commit suicide for no apparent reason, there was a note found eventually…so you never know how someone is feeling inside.

      Just for reference…I am not Lindsey…..that was a quote by Lindsey that is being followed up on…..doubtful that the poster used their real name though….I am trying to be sure that there was never an instance of a trip to costa rica and ANY incident involving Natalee and maybe getting lost or getting upset and leaving for a few hours, etc. Do you know anything about that trip at all?

    438. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 2:14 am

      ” ” Just keep your head up, keep your faith and be thankful for the good times you had with her :)

    439. Red on June 12th, 2005 2:14 am

      I doubt very much she ran away. That is the least of all the theories that I would believe. I may have missed it earlier not sure if you were asked. Were you at C&C’s with Natalee that night? If so, what was your opinion of the place?

    440. concerned mom on June 12th, 2005 2:14 am

      me@, why would you want anyone raped?

    441. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:14 am

      None of that is true… Natalee has a lot going on for her… She wouldn’t run away.

    442. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:14 am

      wait- more on the car in the bushes please aruba girl

    443. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:14 am

      Thank you for the compliment, Kerin.. but I just have to say, even though it’s such a teen cliche: You don’t know my mom.
      LOL.. I’m serious though. My mom is.. unexplainable, unpredictable, unreasonable, and sometimes unfit. But I still love her, so I don’t disobey her.

    445. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:15 am

      yes, i have empathy. its funny how someone comes in here and says they are natalees friend. i could easily change my name and say im her friend too. i guess thats what happened to natalee. the boys told her they were nice, good guys, and she believed them. its crazy how people trust so easily these days.

    446. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:16 am

      yes, I was there. It’s not a bad place… people went every night since we got there. I have pictures of me and my friends in the cut out in front of the place where you stick your face in the head of a shark and a sailor… it’s very tourist-y… a lot of us bought stuff from the gift shop.

    447. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:16 am

      On or about June 7, a reporter overheard a police radio discussing the need to be on the lookout for a certain type of car. Maybe that was to try to follow up on this report about Natalee in the backseat, and a guy “with an axe”.

    448. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:16 am

      oh- the girl in the bkseat was sitting up?alive?

      You see, this is where I find hope.

    452. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:18 am

      do you really think her friends would be on this message board knowing people could act like this? its the last thing i would be doing if my best friend was missing

    453. m wood on June 12th, 2005 2:19 am

      to better say it Shawns>>>>

      tmits Have you ever heard of the word GOODNIGHT?????

    454. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:19 am

      she said she couldn’t sleep. how do you know how you’d act if your friend was missing?

    455. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:19 am

      I’m just ignoring tmint… this person obviously doesn’t care about those of us who actually know and care about Nat, I’ve learned not to be hurt by people’s stupid comments… I just want Nat to come home…

    456. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 2:19 am

      oh yeah…about them being on the lookout for a car…I remember news reports that they were looking for a white rental car..

    457. Lola on June 12th, 2005 2:20 am

      The problem here is that there were dozens of Natalee sightings and all were unfounded. Because of the mickey mouse way the authorities in aruba have handled this case, the whole scene has urban legend crap intertwined in what could be real and relavent information

    458. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:20 am

      going to bed m wood?

    459. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 2:20 am

      Well they can’t talk to the media… and I’m sure they are tired of crying…sometimes you just need to let it out…makes u feel better..u know.

    460. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:20 am

      tell me its not true – Well, though it’s true any one of us could pose as a friend of Natalee’s, we should try to believe those who say they are, especially since they haven’t just posted one message and left. They are trying to find out what happened to her, just as the rest of us are, whether they are truly her friends or not. You don’t have to believe them, but don’t totally deem them untrustworthy, either.

    461. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 2:21 am

      i think a lot of people get on here just to pick fights with people who cannot see them……..most of us just want info about the case

    462. WoodGuy on June 12th, 2005 2:21 am

      I’ve been thinking…….we know that one of the Aruban officials said that ‘They don’t belive there was a homicide’. I have a bad gut feeling that this case is going to turn out as an ‘accidental’ death type of deal (lie). Van Der Sleaze’s father is probably negotiating the terms right now. Just a bad feeling I have after everything that transpired last night/early this morning.

    463. KerinTX on June 12th, 2005 2:21 am

      Astrid, yes wouldn’t it be nice if we could pick out our parents? So it sounds like both your parents are not the “best fit” for you? But in talking to you, it sounds like they did ONE thing right…they have a 15 yr old daughter who sounds like a pretty level-headed kid. Maybe that’s all your doing? Or maybe they are somewhat responsible?

    464. Lola on June 12th, 2005 2:22 am

      Yes wood, i’m with you on that bandwagon….. agreed 100%

    465. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 2:22 am

    468. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:23 am

      Thanks Island Bunny… You’re dead-on… It helps a lot to talk about it, because holding it ion makes me crazy. But when I trusted the media, I got misquoted and hurt even worse. Most of myfriends don’t want to talk to me about it b/c they think i’m just gonna freak out and start crying (understandable, because I usually do!). I’ll talk to whoever I can get, and for the most part, yall are all very helpful and kind. Thanks again!

    469. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 2:23 am

      KerinTX – :) Thanks.. my parents are good people, even with their flaws. We all have flaws. They’ve taught me many things. I don’t know if I’d be the same person without them. They disagree with most of my views, but they’ve still had an influence on me throught the years which has helped form my character.

    472. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:24 am

    474. Rick on June 12th, 2005 2:24 am

      Wood, Lola – I agree too – I bet this goes down as a Robert Chambers situation, where Joran claims there was an accidental death and subsequent panic after rough sex or drug reaction or something like that.

    475. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:25 am

      Sorry Annie.

      Well good, Astrid! Now it’s time for us “old people” to get in bed. Take care, sweetie!

    480. Lola on June 12th, 2005 2:25 am

      I have to say wood if that does happen and it is the corruption that we fear, I will never step on Netherland Antilles sand as long as I live, And I do not think I am alone in that thinking. As I said I’am Italian. not american too.

    481. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:25 am

      Yes tmint I am…

      I honestly cannot stand any more of YOUR insincerity!!!!!!!

    483. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:26 am

      any thought she could of died on her own? drug or alcohol overdose?

    484. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 2:26 am

      —, Just want you to know, I have no reason to doubt you, and I want to express to you my deep regrets and my strong personal concern for Natalee and all of you who are hurting so much. I’m in Tuscaloosa and I feel a very very strong sense of loss and violation that such a fine young person could be taken such advantage of by monsters out there.

    485. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 2:27 am

      —says, I don’t want to cause you anymore grief…but I have a question… When you talked to Natalee that night, how was she acting? Did she seem drunk or drugged? Sorry if rehashing it causes pain…if it does, don’t answer…I am just wondering since those guys said she was very drunk

    486. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:27 am

    487. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 2:27 am

      go to bed, m wood

    489. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:27 am

      —, this is my theory: 1) Natalee went out to the lighthouse with her new guy and his buddies, 2) someone came up to the car and grabbed her somehow, 3) her new guy and his buddies were drunk or drugged such that they didn’t put up a fight, 4) then it hits them that they’re in big trouble (and maybe they’ve been in trouble before and they don’t fess up very well).

      Meanwhile, whoever has her has now learned that she’s more than just some girl. She’s American, she’s straight-A student, and from the Alabama Senator to the whole city of Birmingham, we want her back. So now, they are panicked. They’ve got her, they’re feeding her, and trying to figure out what to do next.

      Not so different from the Elizabeth Smart story, where some nut grabs a girl. Elizabeth made it back home. So can Natalee.

    490. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:27 am

      Thank you for your kindness… it’s very appriciated!

    491. WoodGuy on June 12th, 2005 2:27 am

      I think it will…….save the judge’s son…get the case over….and send the parents home.

    492. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:27 am

      if there turns out to be some political behind the scenes “fluffing” we probably won’t be able to get to the bottom of it. you know how that political machine works!

    493. mordred on June 12th, 2005 2:28 am

      tell me its not true-
      What does it matter if this person is truly who she says she is- Natale’s friend? Wouldn’t you rather err on the side of caution? Rather than be that insensitive?

      As for trust – 90% of people are trustworthy. Would you advise your daughter never to invite a plumber or the cable guy to go to her house to repair whatever..just because they might be a psycho? C’mon! Natalee was just unlucky – It could have been a car accident or any other misfortune.

      ….says- I pray that God gives you the peace to deal with this.

    494. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:28 am

      Tmits – I think Natalee was a very smart girl, I don’t think she would’ve overdosed on her own unless it was suicide.. and someone would’ve found her body, anyways.

    495. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:29 am

      i think you’re right dallas. trying to figure out how they can get natalee back and still get reward money

    496. Shawns on June 12th, 2005 2:29 am

      Influential people are not always punished for their crimes that is a reality. OJ? Robert Durst? Robert Blake? Micheal Jackson?

    498. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 2:30 am

      Your right Annie….we are only heaing a quarter of the truth. Not sure if the world will ever know what happened that night…unless they find Natelee alive!

    499. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:30 am

      i wouldnt care if my daughter called a plumber or cable guy….but i would cae if she got in their car.

    500. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:31 am

      Waitingtoknow… I’m worried about what I say about that night being misinterpreted… I was quoted in People recently and they twisted my words to make it seem like she was drunk and wild… She didn’t look like herself, but that was only because her eyes were heavy…. She didn’t have that much to drink, so she might have been drugged.

    501. WoodGuy on June 12th, 2005 2:31 am

      What I can’t figure out though is why all the extra FBI agents went down today. From what I understand they just assist with the case (and I’m sure doo all the forensics gathering) but I don’t even know if they can interview/interrogate these guys. I think they can only observe. You can bet that if they had free reign from day 1 this case would have been wrapped up by day 10 with murder charges and a body

    502. annie on June 12th, 2005 2:31 am

      is there a way that they could figure out how to get the money and return natalee?

    503. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:32 am

      The main thing that Natalee has going for her is that the entire economy of Aruba is going to crumble if they don’t find Natalee. Aruba lives and dies by its tourism business. It absolutely has to crack this case, or family businesses are all going to go to ruin.

    515. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 2:35 am

      I’ve been to C&C…besides the fact that it’s a s** hole, I was approached several times that evening to buy drugs in and outside of the club…so it’s VERY possible that she was drugged. It’s not like they would have to go very far to find it.

    516. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:35 am

      i wonder if they guys told her they would take her home, and she got in the car thinking they were driving her back. then they decided to go elsewhere.

    517. Badlands on June 12th, 2005 2:35 am

      — Says,

      Stay strong. Take in all the support, but ignore the rude posters.

      I know it’s human nature for you to feel guilt or that you could have done more, but of course that’s not the case. Hindsight is 20/20. Bad things can happen at any time and any place.

      Sure, it’s easy for people to say Natalee shouldn’t have gotten in the car, but who hasn’t made dozens of mistakes at that age? Who hasn’t trusted someone who maybe they shouldn’t have? It was a vacation where everyone was having fun and there was no reason to think anything like this would happen.

      I hope so badly that Natalee comes home to her family and friends. She sounds like a wonderful person.

    518. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:36 am

      —, I will bet my bottom dollar that someone slipped Natalee GBH. I know because it happened to me, at a party. Someone thought it would be funny, I guess.

      The next day, my friends filled me in on my odd behavior at the party. I remembered nothing. Lots of nutty stories. If a guy had decided to rape me, I would have been toast.

      If her eyes were heavy, that’s what happened. And yes, she could have spoken to you, waved and smiled, and yet be under the influence of GBH.

    519. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:36 am

      I didn’t think that it was a bad place… I was only approached about drugs on the beach outside the hotel, never in the club.

    520. Rick on June 12th, 2005 2:37 am

      Putting some pieces together:

      According to FOX, Joran was known to be a bully at his school.

      Joran was known to be a thief, stealing from his own friends.

      According to DIARIO, Joran was dealing with “anger management issues” – which means he has had some sort of violent past, some sort of control problems.

      According to Joran’s website – he was fascinated by rap lyrics, particularly the misogynistic 50 Cent song, ‘Candy Store” about degrading a woman while she performed oral sex on the narrator…

      His photo gallery consisted of photos of him with a variety of girls, holding money in front of a hotel or casino, strangling a shirtless kid with a belt, a kid who seemed to be in actual pain, while Joran smiled for the camera, and numerous shots of him drinking and flashing pretend gang signs.

      There is also a confirmed report that he became agressive with some of Natalee’s classmates and got into a shoving match which had to be broken up…

      And so, it seems clear that you have a boy who is obsessed with proving his masculinity to others, who has a short fuse, who drinks and parties regularly, who frequents bars and casinos though he’s not legally permitted in either…

      And you then have him confirmed in the back seat of a car at 1:30 am, with Natalee, who had been drinking – and who later vanishes…

      The two friends, who say they were in the front seat, claim that Joran “intimately fondled” Natalee…

      And she was never heard from again.

      And so, it seems not just plausible, given the above – but probable – that this short-fused kid, desperate to save his image he works so hard to cultivate as a player – would get violent with Natalee if he was rejected.

      And we now hear of blood in the car…

      And no video confirmation of them returning to the hotel…

      And Natalee’s stepfather saying that he was sure Joran was lying after having spoken with him on Tuesday…

      And Natalee’s mother calling Joran “cold, arrogant and hard” after meeting with him prior to his arrest.

      Stories of abduction by black-clad security men (presumably the guards from the music festival who left the island a week earlier) – don’t add up, and again, the drop off story isn’t supported by any video, nor by the HI security or front desk people.

      Given all the above, I think it’s almost certain that Joran killed her. That the body still has not been recovered tells me it’s probably been dumped in the ocean – recall FBI dive teams were called out last week.

      I do find it incredible for the Prime Minister to say that there would be resolution ‘tomorrow’ after just saying there wasn’t any evidence, even the blood evidence wasn’t back….

      I don’t see any other plausible explanation apart from Joran. If he weren’t guilty, his response to Mrs. Holloway-Twitty would have been of surprise that she were missing, concern, offering to help – not “hard, arrogant..” etc..

      His behaviour toward the Twitty’s also reinforces my strong feeling he’s behind this…

    521. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 2:38 am

      what I want to know is how she managedto go alone with these three guys. if the brothers thought that joran was hooking up with nat, why weren’t they trying to get girls too?usually guys don’t want to sit alone when their friend is hooking up and in my experiences, we always met guys in groups or the guy i met tried to get my single friends for his buddies. just seems strange

    522. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:38 am

      ive also been there and thought it was REALLY sketchy. Lots of druggies there. I hope Natalee didnt get involved with that.

    523. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 2:39 am

      I just had a bad experience there that evening….so it turned me off.

    524. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:39 am

      It wouldnt surprise me if they did drug her… they would have had ample opportunity… we got free food and drinks at the hotel, so very few of us had anything at the club and Nat didn’t even bring a lot of money, so if she had anything at the club, that kid probably bought it for her, giving him the op. to slip something in it.

    525. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 2:39 am

      jessibobessy – I agree.. I think they might have sold her into slavery or prostitution, and are covering up for her kidnappers with blatant lies. Those 3 guys are bad news.

    526. googler on June 12th, 2005 2:39 am


      Could she have just been overtired? I’m sure you folks weren’t getting that much sleep during the trip.

    527. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 2:39 am

      With her being so small…it wouldn’t take much for her to get intoxicated on alcohol or drugs……and wouldn’t take much for her to be alcohol poisoned either…. but I still can’t seem to see those guys being innocent…Just can’t get it out of my head that somebody put something in her drink at the bar.

      I have heard that Joran was a drug dealer…any truth to that?

    528. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 2:40 am

      Whatever the outcome, there needs to be a strong wakeup call here. Despite some of your arguments against interfering with a friend’s decision, one must take all things into consideration and “don’t let friends drive drunk”, (so to speak).

    529. Neil on June 12th, 2005 2:41 am

      My view is that Natalee died at the hands of one or all of the three boys.

      The authorities in Aruba don’t know what they are doing in the investigation because they do not have experience, and the situation is inflamed because they are frightened of losing US business, hence they are making forced decisions, several of which already have turned out to be unwise.

      One possibility is the boys slipped Natalee drugs, perhaps in a drink they had in the car, and she died of an overdose in combination with the alcohol she already consumed. Alternatively Joran lost it when she rebuffed his sexual advances and he became violent and ended her life in an outburst. Surely the three were not so oblivious to the consequences of forceable rape that they embarked on a premeditated plan to rape and murder her, so I do not think that they intended that she die.

      If the three were innocent of any wrongdoing and Natalee died accidentally they would not have had guilt feelings and would have called for help immediately. The story they told about the security guard, a version of the old “bushy haired stranger” deflection, would have been obvious to experienced police, but apparently the Arubans bit, hook, line and sinker. This of course led to the loss of significant evidence. The clothes the boys were wearing should have had evidence of violence. They type of dirt on shoes and possibly clothes would have indicated something. Resources were wasted investigating the security guards.

      This idea of kidnapping into white slavery is about in the same category as UFO’s, especially when such obvious suspects as the three boy/men are right in front of our faces.

      Let us hope that the Arubans can recover from their mistakes, and bring Natalee justice and her parents resolution.

    530. WoodGuy on June 12th, 2005 2:41 am

      I think that tomorrow I’ll ask my neighbor to call his kid in Brazil. He’s a special agent with U.S. State dept. and knows quite afew FBI types in Miami. Maybe he can tell us something. Everytime he comes up to visit he yaps a lot……worth a shot !!

    534. Red on June 12th, 2005 2:42 am

      WoodGuy

      One last comment. You referenced the”accidental death” type of deal (lie) scenario. If it goes that route of which I pray it does not, Aruba would be insane to ever go that route. No individual in Aruba is greater than their tourism. 70& of their GDP of which Americans make up 70% of that. If the Aruban government officials rad the site and hint, I believe they do, would be a bad idea.

      Too many Arubans have expressed their fears that this could be devastating to their island. They have a point. Yes they want to find Natalee but their livelihood is at stake. With the eyes of the world on them and the media scrutinizing everything; they would be insane to cover it up. Perception is everything.

      Aruba is in a tough spot and remember they are a small island nation that is used to none of this. Logistically, they were never prepared for this … see post http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/?p=1118, where they have to do a better job. This is for Natalee too, not just PR. All need to do a better job.

    535. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 2:44 am

      WTK…I heard that too…mainly extacy. I’ve been there…done that and I’ll tell you…when it kicks in…you LOVE everyone!!!! So I can see where her guard would be down….if she was indeed drugd

    536. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:44 am

      Joran knows more than he’s telling, and has a temper, but I don’t see how she winds up dead. I hope they announce something more. If they don’t, I imagine we’ll send another 10 FBI until we’ve got answers. And then another.

      You’ve got a Senator from Alabama exerting every ounce of his influence and pressure on this case.

      Still don’t know of her?

    538. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:45 am

      googler… No she wasn’t just “overtired” We all slept quite a lot on the trip actually, plus I’ve seen Nat when she’s just sleepy… she doesnt look like she did that night. Thank you for your concern, though.

    539. Rick on June 12th, 2005 2:45 am

      Neil – agreed.

      Though I think if she were drugged, she’d probably have been semi or unconscious and not put up any sort of struggle -there might not be blood if she were unable to resist. So, I’m leaning toward probably intoxicated (hard to be sober at C&C) but not drugged… Could be wrong, of course, but in any case, I dont see a plausible explanation other than Joran, probably via strangulation. (not knife or other bloody alternative.)

      That the body hasn’t been found means it’s probably in the ocean…

      Although I am shocked that one of these three teens hasn’t already rolled on the others – then again, according to AP yesterday, there was a confession.. And then there wasnt…

    540. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:47 am

      Does she go to the high school? I don’t know know her… she might be a freshman if she’s 15, which means she’s still at the Jr. High. I don’t know anyone at the J-High… sorry!

    541. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 2:48 am

      well maybe joran bought her alot of drinks and got her drunk, and thats why she looked weird.

    542. Rick on June 12th, 2005 2:50 am

      Joran’s websites at Tickle.com and MSN.com have been removed in the last 24-48 hours. Anyone who visited them can confirm the photos, many of which you see on the TV shows and newspapers now..

      I dont think she needed to be drugged to get in the car – she already was friendly with Joran, having met him and hung out with him earlier, built a little trust there – and partying with him at C&C – She probably said she needed to get back to the hotel and he offered to take her – his friends driving his car as he was under driving age..

      At 6′ 5″, it wouldn’t have taken much effort for him to overpower Natalee, whether intoxicated, drugged or sober.

    543. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 2:51 am

      okay, i think rick, you are full of facts. but the 50 cent song thing is getting old. the words are explicit, but the beat is great if you lke to go to clubs and dance, i am female, have a four yr old, am in a happy committed relationship. i am very spiritual, i raise my daughter with old fashioned values. however, when i am in the car by myself i love to listen to that song along with a trillion other rap songs etc. But I would never kill anyone. I hate when people use music on the radio to judge someone’s character…..it’s not like he wrote it. fyi-natalee probably listened to a little 50 cent on the radio too

    544. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 2:52 am

      I was told she(Hart) was a senior……do you happen to know any Lindsey that was friends with Nat? I had a girl named Lindsey tell me she was friends with her…..

    545. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:52 am

      I just Googled “Lindsay Hart” and “Mountain Brook”, and found swimteam stats on her that give her as a 1986 birth year. So wouldn’t that make her a senior?

      The stats were from a swim-meet in 2001, so maybe she moved elsewhere.

    546. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:52 am

      Oh hey.. whoever talked to Lindsey… I just looked her up in the yearbook and she is a senior… I’ve seen her before (she’s on the swimteam with a couple of my friends) but I never knew her name. Whoops!

    547. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 2:52 am

      SAYS…… There was a report of a Boston couple that was there at C&C the night natalee disappeared. The lady said that she remembers seeing Natalee in the restroom being cleaned up by her girlfriends after getting sick or making a mess of herself. She also said that the girlfriends had asked Joran to give her a ride back to the hotel.

      Is this true ? or have you heard that rumor?

    548. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 2:54 am

    551. Rick on June 12th, 2005 2:55 am

      Jessi – no one said that “anyone who listens to 50 Cent is a rapist or murderer” – OK???

      I included that, along with all the other items on his website to show him as someone fascinated with being a wanabee player – picking up women, posting their photos on the web, drinking, gambling, flashing gang signs, and posting Candy Store as one of his three favorite songs. That is how HE defined himself to the world. Each of those is one item on his website..

      OK? Did I say that people listening to rap are depraved? No.

    560. WoodGuy on June 12th, 2005 2:56 am

      I think the ‘Nat rejects him at the beach in front of his friends on the beach and he goes into rage’ theory is about right. If she died from drugs or drink he would have called his Daddy that night and told him and case closed the next day. I believe he went off on her and raped her (maybe 2 brothers also did) and killed her. However, I wouldn’t doubt that he told his father this after they were released as witnesses and the past 2 weeks Daddy has been coaching these 3 scumbags and ditching evidence. And now they all have their “accident” story to tell. Really gets me fucking mad (‘scuse the language). Makes ya feel like getting on a plane and fly down there to snoop around.

    568. Rick on June 12th, 2005 3:00 am

      Red – and Wood –

      I bet that the “accidental death” is exactly how this will be defended. Joran’s dad is a lawyer, and I think if the body is in the ocean and not recoverable, and all three stick to the story, it will be very hard to disprove…

      “She was drunk on the beach, fell, got some blood on the car – we tried to revive her, she was unresponsive, so we drove to a remote part of the island and put her in the ocean, knowing the current would take her out to sea. We panicked… “SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED..”

      I bet that’s how this goes down…

    569. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 3:00 am

      heard in tripadvisor.com forum under Natalle 2 or 3.. cant remember, but one of the two..

    570. Neil on June 12th, 2005 3:00 am

      Rick, it is some version of “things gone bad at the beach” as you surmise. While possible, a knife is less likely in my view, so if this is Natalee’s blood, it was probably either from a punch type blow or even some sort of vaginal tear from rape. Also some type of drug overdoses can result in bleeding. It will be interesting to see if drugs can be detected in the blood sample. I am guessing that the blood volume is small; would Joran ride around with a hugh blood stain on his interior or in his trunk without trying to get rid of the evidence? Probably not.

    571. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:00 am

      Four words for you: Shut… the… hell… up!

      Can you really be that unsympathetic?? How about showing some self-constraint?

      Rick, even so there was a crime if just a crime of cover up.

    582. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:03 am

      She met him in our hotel’s casino a few days before that night… she knew him for a while

      Great reading here and thanks for providing a forum to talk about this.

      Good night and praying for the best.

    585. Rick on June 12th, 2005 3:03 am

      Neil – it could also be Joran’s blood… or someone elses… Someone posted earlier that it was confirmed to be Joran’s but after listening to the PM on Geraldo, it seems they dont have the results yet. Then again, the police chief said, “due back any minute” earlier in the day, so who knows. More conflicting stories from Aruba….

    586. chill on June 12th, 2005 3:03 am

      hey, yall need to chill out- tmit just doesnt agree with what shes saying,and doesnt believe its her.

    587. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 3:03 am

      yea, I am in Atlanta and have seen first hand what happens to a peron on G especially… it was real bad in the clubs her for a while.

    590. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 3:05 am

      Ignore those comments, do not worry about them. Stay focused. You do not need to defend anything you said, they are not worth cramping your fingers! :)

      Was there any Lindsey on that trip?

    592. googler on June 12th, 2005 3:05 am

      Is the blood even in the car that picked up Natalee?

    593. Rick on June 12th, 2005 3:06 am

      Can any of you in Natalee’s class confirm the story posted above by GAGUY about the bathroom/vomiting at C&C – or deny it?

      hey… all my trip stuff was in my dad’s office, but now all I can find is the flight info… if you want I can ask him tommorrow when he gets up and tell you for sure if she was on the trip? There were kind of a lot of us, and I really only hung out with my friends…

    599. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 3:08 am

    600. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:08 am

      MazRad, is there a reason to know who was on the trip? Maybe the names of the kids shouldn’t be posted or listed. Can you relay your info?

    603. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:10 am

      Thanks, yall. It’s ok though… I really don’t care what tmint thinks… she obviously doesn’t care about Nat. I choose only to concern myself with those who do.

    604. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:10 am

      good question bunny. i bet it was rough!

    605. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 3:11 am

    606. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 3:11 am

      —-right, thats why im here.

    607. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 3:11 am

      Yeah, Maz.. do you think a student was involved? I hope not.. Do you have information you could share with us?

    608. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 3:12 am

      the lindsey girl posted that she new natalee.

    609. Crys83nALABAMA on June 12th, 2005 3:12 am

      Has anyone talked to Natalee’s close friends about wjat they think about this…as far as these guys and if she would have went with them on her own…was she that type of girl, I know you act different down there…I did when my class was in Cancun but was this in her character…?

    610. Pam on June 12th, 2005 3:13 am

      To all who scoffed at my “conspiracy theory” about the Aruban government being financially torn between the drug trade and the tourism industry, please answer this: Why did it take more than a week for the police to arrest the three thugs who did harm/kill/lose Natalee? One can only stretch the “they do things differently in Aruba” argument so far. Furthermore, now that those 3 are in custody, why has the investigation become such a bungled up mess run by “keystone cops”? Someone is stalling, manipulating, wrangling, etc., behind the scenes. I think it became apparent last night that the welfare (emotional or otherwise) of the Holloway/Twitty family is not a priority to the Aruban government anymore. So, what is?

    611. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:13 am

      Well, the Lindsey girl probably did know Natalee. Maz, this seemed to be a topic that you raised more than once. Can you let us in on what your thoughts were on that?

    612. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:13 am

      is it possible that the lindsey girl knew nat from somewhere else?

    613. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:13 am

      Yeah, I was in the first group, and Nat was supposed to be in the second, so ours was less dramatic… We honestly just thought that she had overslept or something, and didn’t really think it was a big deal. We were actually talkin about how one of the chaperones who had lost a lot of sleep over us would probably be pissed b/c he would have to pay $75 to get a new ticket… we thought they would come back home a few hours later. When we landed in Atlanta though, the bus-ride was a little more hectic… We watched Dodgeball, though, and for the most part thought Nat was fine… but then near the end we started to get more worried. The next day we were all stressed because they still hadn’t found her and we feared something like this, but didn’t really believe it. It’s just gotten worse since then.

    614. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 3:14 am

      ..SAYS.. do you know anything concerning my above post about the Boston couple and the restroom. I u/s if you can’t answer the question , but a response either way would be nice.

    615. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 3:14 am

      i think maz was just trying to see if the lindsey girl really did know her

    616. WoodGuy on June 12th, 2005 3:14 am

      I’m not sure they dumped her in the water…….it’s not easy to dump a body in the ocean from the shore. If they throw her off the rocky cliff no garuantee the body won’t get stuck on the rocks. Also, the currents are coming on to the shore making it hard for a body to actually float out to sea and then it may not even sink. I think you would have to take her out to sea in a boat….weight it down and then drop it (Scott Peterson style). I believe she is on the island somewhere.

    617. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 3:14 am

      Crys83nALABAMA , we’ve been there. She made a mistake. An innocent but costly mistake. Not her character to socialize with known monsters.

    618. Crys83nALABAMA on June 12th, 2005 3:15 am

      Also, does anyone know anything about the guy who was arrested early this morning…was it all related?

    619. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:15 am

      Lindsey would know Nat from school… why does it matter?

    620. Astrid on June 12th, 2005 3:15 am

      Well, I’m off to bed.. good luck, sleuths. I hope there is new light on finding Natalee when I wake up.

    621. googler on June 12th, 2005 3:16 am

      The arrest this morning is supposed to be unrelated

    622. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:17 am

      i heard the story about the boston couple too….is that true? they have apparently spoken to the police

    623. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:17 am

      I didnt see her in the bathroom, and I was in there a couple times b/c girls have a tendency to go in groups… I cant really say that it was definitely not true, but I didnt see her in there. The only time I saw her was when we danced in the club and then after when we were walking back together.

    624. John on June 12th, 2005 3:17 am

      Neil…………….I think you are absolutely “spot-on” in your analysis of this situation !
      You cut straight to the chase, and there’s nothing far-fetched about your scenarios. Certainly, I hope we’re both mistaken, but I think the reality of the situation will ultimately bear you out as correct.

    625. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 3:18 am

      well, being that the guys are well to do…so they say…they most likely have a boat. One of the guys had pictures of the island from the water…….boat.

    626. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 3:20 am

      thanks SAYS.. I did’nt mean to hound you on that question.

    627. Pam on June 12th, 2005 3:20 am

      I listen to some rap/hip-hop music, because my children do, and I want to know what they are listening to. “Candy Shop” is absolutely filthy, as are most of 50 Cent’s songs. I was horribly embarrassed the first time I heard it. In this instance, Rick, yes, someone would have to be depraved to listen to it. LOL!

    628. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:20 am

      If they didn’t find a body today, I think that this should be considered good news. We’ve got three guys that have certainly spilled the fact that something went wrong. Now we’ve got to find out what happened next.

      I see the three guys as scum, but not murderers. And it is hard to drop a body in the ocean. I would think you’d need to run it out to sea in a boat, or something.

    629. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:20 am

      Joran has a yacht

    630. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:20 am

    631. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:21 am

      It’s ok GAGUY… I understand that everyone wants to know as much as possible… I do too.

    634. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:22 am

      oh ok… I misunderstood, sorry Jessi!

    637. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:23 am

      I don’t really know…. It might have been, but I didn’t see it. Granted, I was exactly on the look out for it either.

    638. Badlands on June 12th, 2005 3:23 am

      Unfortunately, it seems likely the Aruba authorities are suppressing information from not only the public, but worse, the family and friends. Fortunately, the FBI is on the case, although we don’t know to what extent. Of course, the FBI doesn’t make public statements, so even if they know the information released is incorrect or not complete, they wouldn’t say anything publicly.

      The fact that Van Del Sloote’s father is a high ranking judicial official probably had something to do with him being released right away. The fact it took them 12 days to find blood in the car is inexcusable. Shouldn’t that have been the *first* place they thoroughly searched for evidence??

      The Prime Minister saying he expects the case to be wrapped up tomorrow is whack. If they only know what they’re telling us, how can they solve the crime tomorrow? A cover-up, utter incompetence, or a combination? Who knows?

      Hopefully, the truth will come out soon and Natalee’s friends and family will have closure on this case, hopefully for the best.

    639. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 3:23 am

      googler…I believe they already confirmed that the honda was the car that she left in.

    640. Rick on June 12th, 2005 3:23 am

      Thanks for the reply “—” –

      To follow up – when you walked out with her, how was she?? Normal? A little tipsy? Or did she look like she’d been sick in the bathroom as the other posts are suggesting??

    641. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:24 am

      Sorry for the double-post. My computer hung up a little.

      Next question – why were her bags completely packed? That surprised me. If the plane leaves the next morning, wouldn’t she wait to pack until the morning? Would she have packed before going out to the club?

    642. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:24 am

      Right on badlands

    643. Rick on June 12th, 2005 3:25 am

      A rescue diver posted yesterday that a body in the ocean would vanish pretty quickly, not like a body dumped in a lake or river – especially if it were dumped on a remote part of the island. One would think living on the island, youd’ be familiar with currents and such….

    644. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 3:25 am

      I do understand the importance of not giving names or listing students on the trip. If I knew who —- was I could talk to her via IM, but I do not know her. If there was a private chat area here, I would utilize it. She is helping me.

    645. Nate on June 12th, 2005 3:25 am

      Do you seriously think they are going to tell us all that they know?

    646. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:25 am

      Dallas – I pack the night before if I’m due up for an early flight… I think a lot of people do -

    652. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:27 am

      We all packed the day before, they asked us to at the meeting that afternoon, so that’s not unusual. We had to be up REALLY early and leave, so we all checked out the day before and packed up early. And to Rick, when I saw her, she looked… different. Her eyes were heavy, but she said she was fine. I guess I’m an idiot, but I believed her. I don’t want that to be misinterpretted though… People magazine put a slant to it, and I don’t want that to happen again.

    653. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 3:27 am

      Being packed shows that she was very responsible.

    654. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 3:28 am

      maz, helping you with what??? Are you asking these questions because of interest in this girl or do you know something?

    658. Crys83nALABAMA on June 12th, 2005 3:28 am

      Maybe Natalee just decided that going with these guys was harmless and since it was her last Night there she wouldnt be able to see them anymore

    659. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 3:28 am

      Says… you are really the only one that has been so open about what happened on the trip..

      Do you think other students arent talking about it more b/c they are afraid some of their mishaps may be revealed or linked in some way ? maybe with drug use , heavy partying, or even Joren…

      Just seems to me with the shoving match with Joren and Natalees friend, and also all of the students at C&C that night, that somebody knows more than they are saying. Somebody had to have been hanging around Natalee at the club and should have a good idea of what was going on.

    660. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 3:29 am

      Not sure where you have been all night…but your the only one that I am arguing with. So get your facts straight.

    661. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:30 am

    662. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 3:30 am

      thats true about the ocean. if her body has been in the water for 2 weeks now, its allready gone. lake/river/bay is complete different than ocean water

    663. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 3:30 am

      googler…it was on the news. Not that THAT means confirmation! HA HA

    664. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:30 am

      i agree gaguy

    665. Rick on June 12th, 2005 3:30 am

      — – Thanks again… I understand.

      Apart from the eyes, was she staggering? The two brothers said in their statement that she was drunk and fell down – was she walking OK? Slurring or speaking normally?

      If it was just heavy eyes that looked ‘different’ from her usual self when she’s tired, it’s entirely possible she was drugged. Someone posted above that GBH’s early effects were just heavy eyes, IIRC…

    666. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:32 am

      am i the only one still puzzled by maz? no answer yet?

    667. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:32 am

      GAGUY… don’t read too much into other students not talking… we all are dealing with our greif in different ways…. I didnt say anything for a while… namely becaus efor the first 4 days, I wouldn’t get out of bed, but lately I have to talk or I feel like I’ll explode. Trust me, there’s no big conspiracy on our side… people just don’t want to say anything that could be misinterpreted.

    668. googler on June 12th, 2005 3:33 am

      If they drugged Nat, I doubt this is the first time they tried it. I wonder if there are other women out there who had an **odd** experience with Joran & crew. It sure would be interesting to find one or two.

    669. Badlands on June 12th, 2005 3:33 am

      Hey — Says,

      Don’t worry. We’re a lot more intelligent than People Magazine. :)

      The fact that you even asked her if she was okay shows you really card about her. A lot of people wouldn’t even notice.

    670. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 3:33 am

      the media is crazy. that take everything that is said and twist it. always have, always will. did the police question all of you?

    671. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 3:33 am

      That those two said she was staggering was part of their story, to justify why she could have gotten lost after they left her. I don’t buy that. (especially since they didn’t bring her back at all)

    672. Badlands on June 12th, 2005 3:34 am

      Whoops… I meant “cared” about her.

    673. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:34 am

      Jesse, I’m puzzled by Maz, and suspicious. Maz hasn’t stated why he/she is asking about who went on the trip.

    674. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 3:34 am

      Jessi, I am very puzzled….seems like he/she knows something…or is gathering information for something. People have been asking what he/she knows, but never an answer. He/she said that —says was helping him….just strange.

    675. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:35 am

      and asking too many pushy, invasive questions of this girl!

    676. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:35 am

      —, I think you were signing off. I am praying for Natalee, and many across the country join you in prayer. She’s a smart girl.

    677. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 3:35 am

      maz talked to a lindsey girl and got info from her—-she asked if shes real, and apparantly she is—thats all that is going on

    678. googler on June 12th, 2005 3:35 am

      Maz may have been testing — since he know Lindsey was in the class

    679. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:36 am

      i want an answer

    680. Rick on June 12th, 2005 3:36 am

      IDONT – I agree with you, but it would be interesting to hear from Natalee’s friends if she was staggering at C&C, or sober, but with heavy eyes, etc. The report that she was getting sick in the bathroom and told to go home – if that’s what the story said – is a bit disturbing..

    681. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 3:36 am

      I u/s Says….. have never thought any of the students or keeping anything that would help Natalee, and never thougt for once any students had anything to do with.

      no blame was pointed.

      There is no question she was taken advanage of, regardless whether she was sober drunk or drugged.

    683. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:39 am

      no, it went beyond testing, maz is acting like a p i

    684. Rick on June 12th, 2005 3:39 am

      I think the info that Joran and his two friends almost getting into a fight with Natalee’s friends, for instance – is something that came from the students well after the fact – that could have been useful to the investigators. Just thinking out loud, but it could have drawn additional attention to him as an aggressive individual, and perhaps could have connected the dots sooner on his anger problems, stealing, drinking, etc…

      So, maybe it is a good idea to share what is known – with the authorities, though, not necessarily with us on a message board.

    685. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 3:40 am

      maz is not, lol. lindsey told him/her stuff and maz was wondering if she could be believed. who cares anyways?

    686. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:41 am

      I’ll stick by my comment that if they didn’t announce her to be dead today, then there is more going on right now. Kidnapping is just as likely as murder, at this point.

    687. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 3:41 am

      Dallas, where are you from?

    689. chris on June 12th, 2005 3:42 am

      anyone know the names of the adults that were supervising these young people?

    690. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 3:42 am

      im thinking either 1). they sold her to someone for drugs or whatnot or 2). they saw someone take her and those people threanted the 3 boys to not tell or 3). the boys hid her in a cave or something and shes still alive, i just dont know why they would do that, instead of killing her.

    691. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:42 am

      i just was curious because people kept asking and maz never replied. if it were that simple, why not answer? are YOU maz? you seem to answer for him/her a lot

    692. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 3:43 am

    705. Rick on June 12th, 2005 3:47 am

      I dont think kidnapping is plausible as there has been no ransom demanded. The kidnappers would have been a 17 year old and his two friends working in cahoots with some other individuals who would take Natalee from the island. They would have to have planned this, knowing that they could get Natalee to come with them, alone, away from her friends at 1:30 am, hours before she was leaving.

      Doesn’t add up to me.

      Neither does the ‘sold into slavery’ angle – Somehow I doubt that the first occurence of a tourist vanishing off of Aruba (cruise story notwithstanding) – and being sold into slavery – and having a 17 year old who cant’ legally drive – mastermind the situation – also seems unlikely.

      Joran offed her on the beach, and mark my words, he and his friend will claim it was an accident- choked on vomit – rough sex – slip and fall – and they panicked, disposed of the body, end of story.

    706. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 3:47 am

      maz…who do you want to im you?

    707. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 3:47 am

      could be….. drugged her to get her to cooperate.. sold her to fix a debt…she possibly seen in a car …guy with axe chases off searchers…she might have been in the caves..hence the suspicious white van..maybe they were going to relocate her to another destination…. who knows..but that scenerio would be so much better than murder…I would much rather her be alive, no matter what the circumstances.

    708. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 3:47 am

      maz is acting weird I told you! it wants nat’s friend to give out info….

    725. John on June 12th, 2005 3:53 am

      A little info for yesterday’s “rescue diver” and the rest of you……..Kindly read the following and learn a little physics about “flotation” or “buoyancy” between fresh water and salt water:

      The difference in density between fresh and seawater is the reason why different amounts of weight must be used when diving in different environments. When moving from fresh to seawater (with the same equipment configuration), divers must add weight. When moving from seawater to less dense fresh water, divers should remove weight.

    726. Rick on June 12th, 2005 3:54 am

      Oh, I think it was Aruba Girl or someone posted the info from an Aruba newspaper. It was something like a blonde girl was in the back seat of a car, some guy grabbed an axe and approached it, and they either drove off or were stopped and it was found to be someone else…. That was the gist of it.

    727. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 3:54 am

      a post on tripadvisor.com also said that two female students from the highschool had their cameras stolen out of their hotel room and was approached earlier in the day at the hot tub by a security guard and was asked if they needed help searching for their missing items. they declined.

      then said same thing happen later that night when approached by a security guard asking them if they were sure they did not need help finding their stuff, that he had a flash light. . said they declined again and went back to their room…

      this was supposely the same day Natalee disappeared..

      dont know if any truth to that, but it was posted.

    728. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 3:56 am

    764. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 4:09 am

      maz, you are acting all”official” and a few of us wanted to know why……….all you had to do was answer. now you’re being strange! you don’t go around asking young girls who are possibly connected to a crime for private info and expect the decent people in here not to comment. go back to your position as hall monitor!

    765. chris on June 12th, 2005 4:10 am

      I want the media to kow all the names of the chaperones because I feel those adults need to account for where they were on the night and morning in question. They were the responsible parties on the trip. They are not at fault for the crime, but they didn’t help prevent it by being AWOL tourists…

    766. tell me its not true on June 12th, 2005 4:11 am

      true chris….there was a reason those chaperones went on the trip with them. to make sure they didnt get into any harm.

    767. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:12 am

      The chaperones had no chance to keep up with all those kids as they left the bar for the night. After that it was too late, the dastartly deed was done.

      Fox Update: Blood Sample Being Sent To States
      UPDATED: Fox also now reports that the blood was sent both to Holland and the US for testing. Also, that a call came in relevant to the testing during an interview but whatever the context of the call, it did not change the authorities story as it stands.

      It’s conjecture, but it would seem we might not be talking about simply a drop of blood given that samples were available to send offshore to two different destinations.

      I’ll email a doctor blogger on that but don’t expect an answer until later this AM.

      Fox Website:

      The “Diario,” a local daily newspaper, is reporting that a human blood sample found in a car at the residence of one of the teens in custody — the 17-year-old son of a high-ranking island judicuary official — is now being sent to the U.S. and will be tested for a possible match to Natalee, whose mother gave a blood sample to investigators

      Breaking – Fox TV Reporting That Suspect Has Confessed To Killing Natalee (Updated)
      FoxNews(TV) is reporting that a suspect has confessed to killing Natalee. We can only wonder just what the hell for. Is it Joran Andreas Petrus Van Der Sloot? Press conference this afternoon should bring an end to the speculation(see previous post). Or – just watch the TV!

      Update( via “Red” at Scared Monkeys):
      (Red) Whether the confession story turns out to be true or not; it was irresponsible of CNN to go with it before the familiy was ever notified first. Then the rest of the media followed. No one should ever find out their child may have passed away by the media. CNN – The compassionate news network. (Red)

      To which I add: Most Certainly, CNN was thoughtless, irresponsible, and most deserving of criticism. I wonder how the decision maker on the matter would like to find out the same information about his or her child – from television.

      And also, although a little off topic:
      I so feel for Natalee’s parents. May God help them through this terrible pain. This has been gut-wrenching for all of us, but just think how terrible it’s been for them.

      ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — Three young men who took an Alabama honors student to the beach before she disappeared must stay in jail, a judge ruled Saturday, as Aruba’s attorney general and others denied reports that one had confessed and said he would take police to the body.

      As rumors mounted about the fate of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, a spokeswoman for her family, Carla Caccavale, told The Associated Press: “The family confirms that a body has not been found.”

      Holloway vanished hours before she was expected at the airport to end a five-day trip to the Dutch Caribbean island with 124 classmates and seven chaperones celebrating their graduation from Mountain Brook High School, near Birmingham, Ala.

      Police found her U.S. passport and packed bags in her hotel room.

      No one has been charged in the case, and statements Saturday seemed to leave the investigation where it was several days ago.

      Prosecutors refused to comment on a statement Friday night by Deputy Police Commissioner Gerold Dompig, who told The Associated Press that one of three young men in police custody had told police Friday night that “something bad happened.” He refused to identify which of the three young men made the statement.

      A statement from the office of Attorney General Caren Janssen late Saturday said “Information given by non-official sources jeopardizes the ongoing investigation and creates expectations and situations that are not based on fact. ”

      Police refused to say Saturday whether they discovered anything that would lead to Holloway, who was last seen in the early hours of May 30.

      Missing Teen

      Referring to Dompig’s statement, prosecution spokeswoman Vivian van der Biezen said Saturday: “We neither confirm nor deny any information coming from other sources … (about) alleged statements of suspects in this case.”

      The night Holloway disappeared, she spent part of the evening partying at a restaurant and then in the back seat of a car kissing a 17-year-old Dutch student, according to lawyers quoting from testimony from two Surinamese brothers – friends of the Dutch boy – arrested in the case along with him.

      Antonio Carlo, the lawyer representing the Dutch minor, said he is confident his client is “100 percent innocent.”

      “My client has not confessed to any crime,” he told The Associated Press.

      Police also have detained two other men – former security guards at a hotel near the one where Holloway was staying.

      One of their court-appointed lawyers, Noraina Pietersz, said her client also was innocent.

      “Five suspects are being held,” van der Biezen said. “We are at a very crucial, very important moment in our investigation.”

      Holloway’s mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, is feeling the strain, her brother-in-law told the AP on Saturday morning. Tom “Jar” Twitty said: “She has had amazing stamina up until now.”

      Holloway’s family believes she is alive, Tom Twitty said. Rumors that she is dead are “an aggressive interpretation” of what police are saying, he told The Associated Press.

      Prime Minister Nelson Oduber said on national radio Friday night that if something happened to Holloway, it would damage the reputation of this island of 97,000 people, which depends on tourism and is considered one of the safest spots in the Caribbean.

      In Holloway’s hometown, her friends gathered after midnight at a church where people have been holding prayer vigils for her. Some hugged and cried; one woman left a flickering candle at the base of a wall decorated with messages to Holloway, who had earned a full scholarship to the University of Alabama, where she planned to study medicine.

      Holloway’s mother and stepfather told The Birmingham News in Alabama that they discovered the Dutch boy’s connection to their daughter within 24 hours of her disappearance by talking to other students on the trip. They then found surveillance videotapes showing him playing poker with other Mountain Brook teens in their hotel casino two days before she vanished.

      A lawyer for one of the Surinamese – Satish Kalpoe, 18, whose brother, Deepak, 21, also is in custody – said they told police they took Holloway to Arashi Beach, on the northern part of the island, in the early hours of May 30.

      According to their police statement, they did not get out of the car, defense lawyer David Kock said. Instead, Holloway and the Dutch teen, an honors student at the Aruba International School whom she had met at the casino in her hotel, “were in the back seat kissing.”

      They also told police that they dropped Holloway at her Holiday Inn at about 2 a.m. and last saw her being approached by a man in a security guard uniform before they drove off, Kock said.

      The brothers told police the young woman was drunk and refused to get out of the car, said Noraina Pietersz, who is representing Antonius “Mickey” John, 30, one of the two former security guards. He and Abraham Jones, 28, have been detained since Sunday and have denied any connection to Holloway.

      The three young men said Holloway stumbled in the parking lot of the hotel but refused help from her Dutch escort, Kock said.

      Holiday Inn employees say security cameras did not record Holloway’s return. A Holiday Inn guard who worked the overnight shift that day said he did not see her, said Pietersz, who said she reviewed the guard’s statement to police.

      Aruba has an independent local government; the Netherlands is responsible for its defense and foreign affairs.

      okay…so, what I am getting is….. Maz is talking to people involved to get information because she is doing her own independant investigation….is that correct? Is this an independant thing or is Maz a reporter or something???

    803. John on June 12th, 2005 4:27 am

      GAGUY,

      Strange because I did not divulge anything to all of you? Please point out what was strange? I would really love to know. The fact is you are all so eager to know everything, that you can actually deter other more important things from happening. You all seem very perceptive, and if not for a “few” I would have been finished.

    809. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 4:30 am

      well, we could always have a roll call…to see if there is anybody still awake who cares about old news…just a suggestion

    815. Radio Top95fm Listener on June 12th, 2005 4:32 am

    818. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:33 am

      Do you hear anything real there that we don’t get on TV here?

    819. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 4:34 am

      ok maz, since you are sooooooooo perceptive, realize that you are out of here because we are through with you now. If that girl is gone what are you doing in here? don’t the arubian police need you or something?? if we are complicating your life, go!

    820. John on June 12th, 2005 4:34 am

    821. Radio Top95fm Listener on June 12th, 2005 4:34 am

      night rick!

    823. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:36 am

      Do you hear any rumors or other unsubstantiated reports of sightings and such that we don’t get?

    824. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 4:36 am

      I wonder if I post my unlisted phone number on this site and ask if somebody will call me if anything developes…would I get all kinds of freaky phone calls? And, no offense to Maz, could I say that I would prosecute anybody who uses the number for any other purpose than to wake me up with information..would that work to deter the unwanted phone calls?

    825. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 4:36 am

      a “few” ? a few what… people providing other theories, rumors, or info you havent heard before… ?

    826. John on June 12th, 2005 4:36 am

      But Jessi…………Her “assignment” from the “Matrix” squad isn’t completed yet……and you’re already sending her back to her home planet……..URANUS……..(lol)

    827. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 4:37 am

      lmao!!!!!!!1

    828. Badlands on June 12th, 2005 4:37 am

      Maz,

      You want an example of a cryptic message you posted? How about this one:
      ——–
      “she changed her hair color to black. she cut her hair short. She’s probably still by the rock formations near the sea (by the big industrial area). She’s runaway before on a trip to costa rica. none of her friends wanted to say anything.

      -Lindsey”
      ———

      Was that post from somewhere else? Where? Are you an amateur psychic?? Are you Geraldo’s mustache??

    829. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 4:38 am

    831. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:39 am

      I really don’t expect to get facts here that I don’t get elsewhere. Sometimes rumors are facts poopood as rumors. So to speak.

    832. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 4:40 am

      lmao!!!!!!!!!!! badlands came from out of nowhere with that!!!!!!!! my hero! :)

    833. John on June 12th, 2005 4:40 am

    834. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 4:40 am

      I truly want to share my connection with all of you. I appear to have upset the board.
      Obviously, I cannot tell you why, just that I have the same goal as all of you. Finding out what happened to Natalee. I was hoping — would return, that is why I remain here. I am truly wiped out and on edge as well.

    835. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 4:40 am

      as long as its new info Radio….

    836. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:40 am

      Ever hear of VanDer Poop before?

    837. John on June 12th, 2005 4:41 am

      Maz……….You are not only “wiped out”………..You are totally “OVER the edge”…….lol

    838. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 4:41 am

      I had posted previously to — about this message that was given to me……is that enough? Maybe you did not follow the entire conversation?

    840. Radio Top95fm Listener on June 12th, 2005 4:42 am

      Why not if I have good conections and serious one’s ! Otherwise this forum is a phoney !!!!

    841. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:42 am

      I think she thinks she more like extra large. So to speak!

    842. John on June 12th, 2005 4:43 am

      No, Jessi…….She’s Definitely “WELL DONE”……………………

    843. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 4:43 am

      Maz…. I understand your position…but we are all here for information. We have been here all night giving scenerios and trying to accumalate all the information to try to figure out what happened. If you share with us some of what you know, we can maybe put it with the information that we know, and maybe, just maybe, we will get some answers.

    844. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 4:44 am

      lol!

    845. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:44 am

      OOPS! Maz maybe I take it back.

    846. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 4:45 am

      whatever guys, I am trying to make shit or sense out of it! :)

    847. John on June 12th, 2005 4:45 am

      ……………..Talk about “Control Issues”……….

    848. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 4:45 am

      well, __is certainly not going to come back now.. with you still here..

      well ,, all of us are here b/c we are concerned… you have admitted that you are here for specific info not for a general concern.. hopefully, your the good guy and not the evil people thats a part of this crime.

    849. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 4:46 am

      Of course I am the good “girl” why the hell else would I talk to you people! ;)

    850. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 4:46 am

      I heard somewhere…not sure where…cause it is all in disarray in my head right now…that there was a “sighting” of her in a chinese restaurant …and she had cut her hair into a short bob and had died it black.

    851. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:47 am

      I’m sure that if Natalee ran away, she would not have left her bags.

    852. John on June 12th, 2005 4:47 am

      Maz………..How about you sharing info with us, instead of the other way around……..or, do you feel that you have some superior “edge” that we’re incapable of understanding ? Do you feel that you’re the next step in the evolutionary process ?

    853. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 4:47 am

      You alright there, John? Did you get it all out of your system?

    854. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 4:47 am

      Maz, i don’t think our paranoia scared that girl off as much as the ridiculous questions and drilling she took about if she was really nat’s friend. we all made her feel very welcome. she left when you got personal. please leave or she’ll see you here and not come back to answer our questions!

    855. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 4:48 am

      well,,, if you run away, you dont want to be found.,,,,,, why would she taker her bags and clothes that could provide a link to who or where she is…

    856. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 4:48 am

      dyed…sheesh..sorry for the typo

      Are you serious, did you see that or hear that?

    858. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:49 am

      No one would be likely to run away with absolutely nothing. No one.

    859. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 4:50 am

      My system ??? I’d watch where I was chunking stones there, little one…….living in that glass house, instead of a rubber room, which is where it sounds like you’re missing from…………

    862. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 4:51 am

      Sorry guys, but i really don’t think she ran away.

    863. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 4:51 am

      with all your strange behavior Maz..,,,, waiting could be yanking your chain,,, especially since the previous post explaining an example of your cryptic messages

    864. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:51 am

      A change of undies and stuff would be nice.

    865. Geraldo's Mustache on June 12th, 2005 4:52 am

      Why would she run away on a tiny island where there’s no way she could live her life without being found? I mean, where would she be hiding, Geraldo’s mustache??

    866. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 4:52 am

      GAGUY-

      EXACTLY!!

    867. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:53 am

      Of course not. Therein lies my point. So to speak!

    868. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 4:53 am

      if you have money to buy things, then you dont need to bring things with you when you run away….

      you are right I dont know….. you really dont know do you !

    869. John on June 12th, 2005 4:53 am

      I don’t know, Jessi……….I’ve practiced law in US Federal courts for the last 23 years and this girl is going to solve the International Intrigue Crime of the Year………..

    870. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 4:54 am

      I read it….it was on one of the news websites…after I read it, I did a search for other “sightings” but found nothing online…I stopped thinking it could be possible after all the media about confessions ect… but after today…I have no idea what to believe.

    871. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 4:54 am

      notice how this person who threatened to sue us is now soooo sweet………..just how many personalities are in there? A detective, a weirdo, a b@#ch, a p i, geraldo’s moustache……….and now gidget!

    872. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:54 am

      I know better.

    873. Don't Email Me or I'll Have You Prosecuted! on June 12th, 2005 4:56 am

      Her friend said she didn’t have any money with her. Unless you’re implying that the Dutch dude helped her run away. Seems very unlikely.

    874. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 4:56 am

      Maz, i don’t think our paranoia scared that girl off as much as the ridiculous questions and drilling she took about if she was really nat’s friend. we all made her feel very welcome. she left when you got personal. please leave or she’ll see you here and not come back to answer our questions!

      **She was answering more personal questions than mine, about throwing up in bathrooms and such. I offered up a name that I hoped she would recognize and she did!! After that, I felt that we should not be discussing the other students on this board(per someone’s suggestion) and then the melee began!!

    875. John on June 12th, 2005 4:56 am

      That’s “beautiful”, Jessi…………..Good 4 You !!!

    876. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 4:57 am

      Yes Don’t, and if he wuz gonna help her, he probaby wouldn’t be around now would he?

    877. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 4:59 am

      maybe you are ok Maz…. this whole investigation is bizzare and if the slightest thing strange comes up right now, people are going to pick up on it,…

      we are all in CSI mentality right now

      you meet this guy who has money….he has means to get you off the island…he has means to get you money…he knows people on other islands close by who can take you in….you leave your belongings behind because you don’t want to be found…besides..he is helping you…you dont need them……you go with him…he takes you to a friend who has a boat ….and off you go….never to be seen again ….

      I doubt this to be true…but you just never know.

    879. mazradsMAD on June 12th, 2005 4:59 am

      i think i asked her along with a few others about the bathroom

    880. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:00 am

      Jess, I apologize for rubbing you the wrong way, as I said before I have to be as careful as all of you.

      John-

      Practicing law for 23 years makes you an expert on CSI?

    881. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 5:00 am

      Ummm…. I think she just went to bed. She did say “Good night” before she left. I don’t believe she was “driven away,” but if she was it was either by your odd and intrusive posts or from TMINT’s annoying ones.

    882. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:01 am

      are you talking about the bathroom incident with the Boston couple?….. I asked her about that…. and she responded.. finally!

      i thought she was ignoring me at first

    883. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:02 am

      Uh, I don’t think so! She was happy and looking forward to a full scholarship and med-school. Nope! And she would want fresh undies.

    884. John on June 12th, 2005 5:02 am

      Jessi……..If you’re still there……….I’m gonna let you “entertain” this “dumplin” who just received her Junior G-Man badge from the “Cocoa Pebbles” cereal box this morning………………..I’ll catch up w/ Tom, Red & the rest later in the am……..

    885. geraldo'schesttoniteonfoxgross on June 12th, 2005 5:03 am

      csi mode is right! i dont think she ran away!

    886. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:03 am

      LOL @ Psych

      I believe she was saying Goodnight to Bunny!!

    887. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:04 am

      you are too simple minded I DONT KNOW…. you have to think just a little deeper..

    888. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:05 am

      Uh, I don’t think so! She was happy and looking forward to a full scholarship and med-school. Nope! And she would want fresh undies

      How do you know she was happy with that laid out plan for her life, could be Aruba was the life she was looking for….

    889. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:06 am

      goodnight john, i’ll be back then too……wearing my decoder ring

    890. Jim on June 12th, 2005 5:06 am

      Breaking News just off the wire…….

      Aruba Police are clueless.

    891. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:07 am

      She was either killed by an asshole she rejected. (most likely) or she was kidnapped. (which is not an unheard of scenario in that part of the world. Wouldn’t be the first time) Or ganged up on for unspeakable reasons.

    892. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:07 am

      “i dont know….. dont commit a crime, cause if you do, you will be busted immediately…… you have no street smarts at all it seems..

    893. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:07 am

      hi jim…thanks for the report! :)

    894. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:08 am

      Jim,,, that news is what…. 13 days old now ?

    895. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:09 am

      It is possible to prdict one’s character actions based on her previous actions. In other words that’s not who she was.

    896. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:09 am

      gaguy=brutally honest! i like that

    897. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:10 am

      the description that the poster left:

      still by the rock formations near the sea (by the big industrial area)

      tells me that she does not know the names of any areas she is talking about, she can only describe them. So, not a local, just a visitor. This is why I asked if that description sounds familiar to anyone that lives there….

    898. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:13 am

      i dont know…. you just know of major specific things,,, honor roll ,,, scholarship , christian,,,, you dont know every detail about Natalles personal life or what goes on inside her head….

      I cant get that statement she wrote in the yearbook out of my mind… that was weird !

    899. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:14 am

      what statement?

    900. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:14 am

      What was it again, I forgot…a song lyric…..

    901. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:15 am

      Folks, I’ve been here for quite a while tonight and the most insightful info I’ve gained from this is the reference to Vander Poot’s character. I beleive it was Rick who referenced web sites about him. That sheds some light. Everything else is wild guessing. So to speak!

    902. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:16 am

      yea by lenoard skynard… i must be traveling on now.. so many places i have to see or be.. something like that,, but it was strange

    903. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:16 am

      Yeah, what was it?

    904. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:17 am

      that is confirmed.. its been on the news .. which really doesnt mean anything i guess.. but still

    905. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:17 am

      That’s bc she was GRADUATING! Hello?

    906. Kipster on June 12th, 2005 5:18 am

      “Breaking News just off the wire…….

      Aruba Police are clueless.”

      Thank you Jim :) . If I may…

      This case is proof that police & media are stupid fucks the world over!

    907. waitingtoknow on June 12th, 2005 5:18 am

      well, I am finally going to go to bed…I will see you all tomorrow I am sure….take care…..sending prayers for Natalee…..good night all

    908. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:18 am

      i dunno…girls right silly sentimental crap in yearbooks, especially if they think it makes them sound grown. i don’t feel like she did this to herself.

    909. Small Medium on June 12th, 2005 5:18 am

      I don’t find anything odd about that quote at all. She’s graduating high school = moving on.

    910. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:19 am

      duh.. i dont know…. gosh….. it is still ironic, being she is in the postion she is in…. learn how to think !

    911. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:21 am

      If I write in a yearbook “Its been nice knowing you. Good luck in your next life.” that doesn’t mean I’m goona kill you or expect you to die now does it?

    912. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:21 am

      ive read many of year books and have never once seen anybody use that paticular excerpt out of the song…… it went on to say other things but cant remember….

      just saying it was strange is all.

    913. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:22 am

      I just don’t have patience for you “i dont know”… you are out there somewhere… I bet your teachers hated you in school..

    914. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:22 am

      I see your point but, ………learn to think!!

    915. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:23 am

      i agree, very ironic

    916. Small Medium on June 12th, 2005 5:23 am

      While I’ve never seen that exact excerpt, I’ve seen tons of quotes that are similar in tone, such as Supertramp’s, “I really have enjoyed my stay, but I must be moving on.”

    917. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:24 am

      You don’t have the patience? LOL! That’s rich! Which of us is talking with signs of sensibility?

    918. Kipster on June 12th, 2005 5:25 am

      “ive read many of year books and have never once seen anybody use that paticular excerpt out of the song”

      You must not be a GA boy. Dude, it’s the opening line to the southern anthem “Freebird”. Crazy talk ya’ll.

    919. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:25 am

      now if she had written “another one bites the dust………”

    920. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:25 am

      Lynard Skynard-Freebird

      If I leave here tomarrow
      Would you still remember me?
      For I must be traveling on now
      There’s too many places I’ve gotta see
      If I stay here with you girl
      Things just couldn’t be the same

      Cause I’m as free as a bird now
      And this bird you cannot change
      Oooh ooh ooh
      And the bird you cannot change
      And this bird you cannot change
      Lord knows I cannot change

      Bye bye its been sweet love
      Though this feeling I cannot change
      Please don’t take this so badly
      Cause lord knows i’m to blame
      If I stay here with you girl
      Things just couldn’t be the same

      Cause i’m as free as a bird now
      And this bird you cannot change
      ooh oh oh
      And the bird you cannot change
      And this bird you cannot change
      Lord knows I can’t change

      Lord help me I can’t chaaange
      Lord I can’t change
      Wont you fly high free bird

    921. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:26 am

      I dont listen to that southern rock crap… and not really a fan of Leonard Skynard…… PURE COUNTRY here.. ! born and raised in GA

    922. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:27 am

      Lord help me I can’t chaaange
      Lord I can’t change

    923. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:27 am

      Thank you Kipster! And Gag, I bet your teachers thought you were SWEET. Nital

    924. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:28 am

      okay……….please forgive me for my coping mechanism which was in poor taste……….goodnight I didnt realize how late it was! prayers to natalee and all who love her!!!!!

    925. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:29 am

      yes maz,, the first verse.. is what it was, but it seems maybe a word or 2 were changed though.. not sure though

    926. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:30 am

      and if Joran and Deepak helped her, they may have assumed they could pin it on someone else, or Jorans father had enough clout for it to be assumed she drowned, etc. You think lots of things when under the influence they all sound perfect.

    927. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:30 am

      God bless Natalee and all those who love her!

    928. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:30 am

      Many great ideas start on bar napkins :)

    929. Extra-Large Medium Detective on June 12th, 2005 5:30 am

      Yes, it is ironic that’s her quote, but it’s an extremely popular classic rock song, and famous for jokingly being requested at rock concerts no matter who the band is.

    930. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:31 am

      GA….having a blonde moment………this whole time I thought you meant “gay” guy….no joke……say it quickly….sorry! :(

    931. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:32 am

      true maz…

    932. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:33 am

      i don’t think its that deep guys

    933. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:33 am

      lol….. youre funny jess..

    934. overeasy detective on June 12th, 2005 5:34 am

      did we really need all of the lyrics?

    935. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:34 am

      no,, but if it wasnt jess, I think she would have already been found by now..

    936. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:34 am

      yes extremely popular song, I don’t know many 18 year old girls that follow old Lynard Skynard. Just putting stuff out there for you guys, I didnt know where to go with the whole strange message by Lindsey either

    937. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:35 am

      Just the Pot-smokers LOL :)

    938. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:36 am

      really, i wasn’t picking………..and when you said pure country, well i realized

    939. IDontKnowNuttinAndKnowMoreThanYou! on June 12th, 2005 5:36 am

      Around Birmingham, you know Lynard Skynard even if you’re 18.

    940. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:37 am

      that is so true maz…… but drug-free people also like that music as well… :)

    941. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:37 am

      yes OVEREASY….she obviously feels some connection to the song if she chose it for her senior quote.

    942. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:38 am

      so i think its important to look at all the words

    943. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:38 am

      i think they have more info than we know. just like jennifer wilbanks case….the fbi was onto her long before we knew everything

    944. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:38 am

      very good.. i dont know…….. you are learning to think!! good job!

    945. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:38 am

      You know Lynard Skynard, but you use it as something everyone will remember you by.

    946. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:39 am

      and what is Jennifer Wilbanks known for….??? C’mon say it….. :)

    947. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:40 am

      I think that Wilbanks case caused alot of people to be a bit jaded and closed minded a bit concerning this case at first.

    948. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:41 am

      is this a trick question maz?

    949. Extra-Large Medium Detective on June 12th, 2005 5:41 am

      But it’s easy to run away in the US without being found for days. But running away on an island that’s 70 square miles (half the size of Birmingham)??

    950. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:42 am

      and I guarantee these boys know that other women have gone missing and remained that way…..a federal case was never made out of those stories…..its been seven years since the other girl made national headlines…..

    951. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:43 am

      if she is on the island alive by her own will, she has to have food , clothing, and shelter…. someone has to be providing that for her if thats the case.

    952. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:43 am

      i used to use a quote from jessica rabbit “i’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way” imagine if i had disappeared! i just used it because I had big boobs! I wonder how overanalyzed that would ve been! i listened to classic rock all of my life. freebird is definately an anthem…..I’m from louisiana

    953. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:44 am

      —-

      Told us tonight that Joran has a yacht, how would she know that, unless he was talking/bragging about it?

    954. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:45 am

      Maybe something really bad happened, means they helped her and now they are sorry they did

    955. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:45 am

      yea maz,,, they may have thought it would just blow over quietly…

    956. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:46 am

      Jess-

      Skepticism is good…..keeps people on their toes

    957. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:46 am

      i really doubt this girl ran any farther than laci peterson did when they thought she ran away…..i just don’t feel it

    958. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:48 am

      GAGUY,

      I hope you are truly thinking about this and not being sarcastic…..hard to tell on the internet(no body language/facial expressions)

    959. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:49 am

      What do you feel Jess and why do you feel it?

    960. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:49 am

      you had big boobs jess? what happened, did they deflate slowly over the years……. (payback) :)

      maz, ive heard other reports about him having a yacht on tripadvisor.. they were questioning where it was docked and such. nobody ever responded with that answer

    961. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:49 am

      hmmmmm GAGUY interesting

    962. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:50 am

      i agree with most skeptics in other instances……but I don’t think this guy helped her and all of this irony stuff…..i wish i did. Jennifer wilbanks ran away for attention. though i hope shes alive, i hope nat didn’t do this to her mother like jennifer did!

    963. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:51 am

      —– found Lindsey in the yearbook and has known her, just didnt know her name. Says she hung around with her and Nat’s mutual friends.

      This Lindsey also made a comment that none of Nats friends would say anything so she felt the need to do it for them…….

    964. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:51 am

      Then again could all be BS

    965. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:52 am

      maz , i am truly thinking about this,,, why else would i be on here at 6am…. i am concerned just like everyone else.. and am very honest about my opinions

    966. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:52 am

      Jennifer ran away for attention?

    967. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:54 am

      if nat did this on purpose, it will go way beyond anything that the wilbanks girls did…. there are people in jail for this..

      its not that simple… theres more to it than that.. i hope.

    968. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:54 am

      Thanx GAGUY….

      I have a personal/professional connection and cannot stop thinking about this!!

    969. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:55 am

      Right but originally not thought to get this big…and when it did(very quickly) what now?

    970. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:56 am

      and what do you go home to now, your parents? and say what exactly, I’m sorry?

    971. Kipster on June 12th, 2005 5:57 am

      “But it’s easy to run away in the US without being found for days. But running away on an island that’s 70 square miles…”

      My thoughts exactly. I’ve been to Aruba and I’ve tried to put myself in her shoes as an 18 year-old fem runaway with 100+ friends around me, cash-only, no passport, no computer or phone trails, etc. The only scenario I can come up with is James Bond w/ a boat. No way Jose. Next level please.

    972. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 5:57 am

      say anything about what maz?? about the dyeing and cutting of the hair ?

    973. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 5:57 am

      no, now they are enormous! :) i guess youre not gay

      I feel like these guys hurt her and either killed her or left her for dead. i think she left with them because she knew the guy and i think she drugged/ drank herself into a stouper because she thought her parents would never find out. i also think she wanted to fool around a little but not go all the way and that he/they raped her. i think she is buried or in the water near the scene and that either they have her or that no one really looked. aruba is acting strangely.

    974. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:58 am

      where she is, is what i gathered

    975. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 5:58 am

      The only scenario I can come up with is James Bond w/ a boat. No way Jose. Next level please

      or

      Joran Van Der Sloot and a yacht

    976. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:01 am

      i agree kip

    977. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:01 am

      having to go home to face the family, friends and the world , would be enough to keep me in hiding…

      I have also thought that maybe she went home with them, partying, passed out or she over slept, missed her flight, partied more, one day lead to the other.. went to far to just go back home and decided to stay missing… a stretch i know.. but possible

    978. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:01 am

      well then, next level….anybody got one?

    979. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:02 am

      the kid is a thug…..he’s into snoop dogg not being james bond. we’re reaching here. this case is so in our faces

    980. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:03 am

      anything is possible…..

    981. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:04 am

      the next level is the obvious

    982. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:04 am

      thats pretty much my feeling to jess….

    983. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:06 am

      I listen to Rap, edited of course. I like the stories behind the music. There are many that I wont listen to but I enjoyed dancing to Rap/R&B. Makes me a thug?

      Country must mean you are a drunkin’ hillbilly with no teeth……

    984. Kipster on June 12th, 2005 6:06 am

      “Joran Van Der Sloot and a yacht”

      Nah, it wasn’t premeditated. Things got out of hand. One doesn’t head for daddy’s boat after that.

    985. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:07 am

      Oh it wasn’t, you were there?

    986. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:09 am

      ok.. i have plenty of teeth and am not a drunkin hillbilly…… just b/c you like country dont mean you look like a waffle house waitress!

      i do like in da club by 50 though.. love that song actually.. and trust… i am no thug!

    987. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:09 am

      So your basing your opinion of Joran by the music he listens to? That is so wrong on so many levels.

    988. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:10 am

      i just think we are shock and that the us as a whole suffers from post traumatic stress disorder……….we have changed so much in the past 5 years….and the news just feeds our anxiety. i try not to think about stuff like this and trust that people are good. its difficult when every day someone is missing, molested, dead……….i just want to go back to the days of biscuits and gravy!

    989. Psychic Mustache on June 12th, 2005 6:10 am

      I doubt this 17 year-old would have access to his parents’ boat. And where would he take her? Caracao, another small island? Venezuela? I can’t imagine an 18 year-old girl would want to re-start her life in Venezuela.

      I don’t understand the cutting her hair and dyeing it black, then being near the rock formations. How would her friends know that? She was seen late that night by many people with her normal color and length hair. Is the story that she called her friends after she was home? Sounds mucho far-fetched.

    990. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:11 am

      if on a island and wanted to get rid of a body, that would be the first thing i would think they would think of is get a boat if i had access to one.

      leave the body on the island to be found, or in a gigantic body of water ?

    991. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:12 am

      SEE GAGUY, chances are Joran probably thought he was cool, pretending to be a thug…happens here in the burbs all the time. No harm, just an insecure kid trying to pretend to be cool and be something he’s not. Unfortunately alot of kids think that the persona of being a “Rapper” is a good thing?! LoL

    992. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:14 am

      yea the good ole days, when you left your windows up at night and your front door unlocked…

      will never happen jess.. those days are gone!

    993. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:15 am

      In da Club….Great dance song!!! :)

    994. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:15 am

      mazrad, my gut was right, you are still just freaking annoying! if you scoll back a few hours, youd see where i defended 50 cent in an earlier posting. i’m going by the fact that he holds up gang signs in his pictures, etc. everyone has said that he acts like a punk. that’s what i was referring to. but, as usual, you are on a higher plane or whatever!

    995. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:15 am

      yea maz,, like every other teenage boy with their hat sideways and ;ants to their knees..

    996. Psychic Mustache on June 12th, 2005 6:16 am

      I don’t know, Gaguy. I still leave my windows open at night, sometimes the door unlocked, and my keys in my car ignition in the garage.

      Miwestern address withheld :)

    997. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:16 am

      funny, jess…..

      the kid is a thug…..he’s into snoop dogg not being james bond. we’re reaching here. this case is so in our faces

      why did you defend it, if you really feel this way?

    998. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:17 am

      jess,, i dont remember what you posted 5 min ago,, much less a few hours… cmon now…. give some slack…

    999. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:17 am

      and Jess,

      Why are you being nasty?

    1000. Kipster on June 12th, 2005 6:17 am

      It is extremely difficult to take a boat out (at that hour & on a small island) without a witness or a paper trail. Ask Mr. Peterson.

    1001. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:18 am

      well physic.. midwest? you live in a corn field or something?

    1002. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:19 am

      psychic…..you dont have to withhold your address……….just threaten to prosecute if they send you mail! :)

    1003. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:19 am

      half the kids in the country hold up fake gang signs and wave money in a goofy picture for their friends.

      If I believed what you are saying my children are punks…..they have also given the camera the middle finger!

      OMG, I’m sure you’ve done your share of acting goofy!

    1004. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:20 am

      i would think so too kip

    1005. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:20 am

      Jess-

      You need to join Joran in his anger management class

    1006. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:21 am

      ahh lol.. maz… dont take it personally,,, there has to be some humor involved…

    1007. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:22 am

      Kip-

      I agree, hard to take the boat out at night…blah blah

      Maybe, it was the next day, remember they did have opportunities before being brought in. At least a day before they told police they were with her.

    1008. John on June 12th, 2005 6:23 am

      Jessi………Go to bed. Other than Kipster, there won’t be any signs of intelligent life left on that site………….Obviously a couple of villages are missing their idiots. They’ll find them within the remains of the site……………….

    1009. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:23 am

      i guess hes witholding his address since he did announce he sleeps w/ the front door unlocked

    1010. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:23 am

      GAGUY-

      I know thats why I posted my humor :p

    1011. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:23 am

      maz, how many levels was i just wrong on?? i defended what i had said and you had overanalyzed, i feel the kid is a thug because of his actions, not his music choices……got it?

    1012. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:24 am

      What actions are you speaking of?

    1013. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:25 am

      John-

      Nice to see you, jump right in……

    1014. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:25 am

      and BTW John I believe you just downed yourself

    1015. Psychic Mustache on June 12th, 2005 6:26 am

      Hey, if any of you break into my house when I’m sleeping, I’ll prosecute to the full extent of the law! :)

    1016. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:27 am

      Well I would hope so!!! :)

    1017. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:27 am

      and who laughed maz?? I missed you john……….i should go right now to schedule those classes…..or maybe i’ll just switch personalities to deal with how i’ve just pissed off a room full of people@!

    1018. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:27 am

      jes is right,, he is a thug… gambling, clubs/drinking/ drugs and the rest of the list….. I think he pretty much fits the description.. also, take a look at his friends…

    1019. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:28 am

      Well there you go, do you know Deepak?

    1020. friend of mickey john on June 12th, 2005 6:28 am

      psychis mustach-

      I just woke up to this again.

    1021. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:29 am

      He works helping people daily.

    1022. Geraldo's Medium Psychic Mustache on June 12th, 2005 6:30 am

      He certainly *sounds* like a thug. While that certainly doesn’t mean he’s a murderer, I can’t shake the feeling that he is one…

    1023. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:30 am

      youre wrong gaguy, maz is the only one right in here. she’s got her own nbc show on monday nights. don’t fuck with her, she sees eveything!

    1024. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:30 am

      hes leading a whole nother life.. his parents said they were not aware he went out that much….

      thats alot to be involved in when you are 17

    1025. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:31 am

      Do you see that what you are doing is the same reason two black men from the lower income sector are being held and most likely are innocent.

    1026. John on June 12th, 2005 6:31 am

      You know, Maz……old cliches didn’t get to be old cliches without having a certain amount of validity to them. An appropriate old saying suggests that “You can keep your mouth shut and make people wonder how stupid you are, or open it, and remove all doubt…………….which epitomizes most all of the obnoxious rhetoric that you spew forth………….You indicate that you have children ? Most logic would suggest that you could adequately utilize your personality as an effective method of birth control………
      You’re very reminiscent of most malignant narcissists………Always in error, but Never in doubt !

    1027. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:32 am

      thats crap maz. i thought those guys were innocent all along

    1028. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:33 am

      Jess-

      Who said I am right? Do you think that? I am telling you everything you all tried so hard to know, and now you are being a jerk. Yes a jerk. This is precisly why I did not get into it earlier. Thank god I have held back some things!

    1029. johnsmediumfan on June 12th, 2005 6:34 am

      well said john!

    1030. John on June 12th, 2005 6:34 am

      Maz…………The only thing you’ve held back is any evidence of having a brain !

    1031. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:35 am

      Jess-

      I never said you didnt think they were innocent

      I said the way you are judging Joran and Deepak AND Satish is the same as people finding it so easy to believe that those two men did it.

    1032. Geraldo's Extra-Large Medium Psychic Mustache Detective on June 12th, 2005 6:36 am

      Maz,

      I know all kinds of details too, but I can’t tell anyone. It’s a triple-super-secret that I pinky sweared I wouldn’t tell anyone, so I can only post cryptic messages.

      Cheese onion lamp table.

    1033. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:36 am

      “You can keep your mouth shut and make people wonder how stupid you are, or open it, and remove all doubt…………….

      Well then John, keep your mouth shut. Why is this tearing at you? Why do you care what I think? They asked, you left, I told.

    1034. John on June 12th, 2005 6:37 am

      Well Said, Psychic …………..lol !!!

    1035. Kipster on June 12th, 2005 6:38 am

      “Maybe, it was the next day, remember they did have opportunities before being brought in. At least a day before they told police they were with her.”

      You think he just hops on his dad’s “yacht” with a human-sized bait cooler and motors off like he’s going for a quick Burger King drive-thru in daddy’s Lexus?

    1036. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:39 am

      maz,, playing the race card or rich/poor is not going to work.. remember.. they were brought in front of the judge. he decided that, not jess..

    1037. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:39 am

      Funny how you are all still here, but can only spew ignorant comments, and no intelligent conversation.

      Easy to break someone else down, where are your facts and insight. All your doing here is judging based on some pictures and music?

    1038. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:40 am

      held back things?? you really do want us to think you are so important in this case! I wasn’t the only one you pissed off earlier with your ” please ask me what i know, i’m so important to this case” crap! i’m being a jerk, but you Are an ass. you jumped on my analogy of joran and you picked a fight. deal!

    1039. John on June 12th, 2005 6:41 am

      Maz………..I truly don’t give a rat’s back-end what you think. What I DO think, however, is that you’re highly imbued with your own sense of self-importance……..which is truly sad, because you are such an uninformed cretin. I truly think that you’re living proof of what is spawned when Indians fornicate with buffalo, since you asked………

    1040. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:42 am

      Kip-

      I dont think he just hopped in his daddy’s boat. I dont know what happened and neither do you. We were having some great conversation until Jess blew her lid and her bodyguard showed up :(

    1041. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:43 am

      GAGUY-

      Im not playing any card, Im saying try not to let your opinions of these people lifestyle cloud your thinking.

    1042. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:43 am

      youre just jealous of my boobs…… :)

    1043. friend of mickey john on June 12th, 2005 6:43 am

      I just woke up, they say you should write down dreams then before forgetting.
      My dream/ flash of golf cource/coul’dn’t go in already had yellow tape.
      Is only course near arashi?

    1044. John on June 12th, 2005 6:45 am

      Maz………..Where are you from, Armpit, Arkansas………..or Bumblefuck, Missouri ?

    1045. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:45 am

      yea john,, , you trouble maker!

    1046. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:47 am

      maz,, everybody is looking at everybodys lifestyle.. even natalees.. nobody is judging… just thoughts and opinions…

    1047. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:47 am

      maz, you have a bunch of theories……whoopie! so does eveybody! at least gaguy, kip, john, medium exlarge moustache geraldo, etc has a sense of humor! get off the cross……..someone might need the wood!

    1048. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:47 am

      held back things?? you really do want us to think you are so important in this case! I wasn’t the only one you pissed off earlier with your ” please ask me what i know, i’m so important to this case” crap! i’m being a jerk, but you Are an ass. you jumped on my analogy of joran and you picked a fight. deal!

      I really dont care what you think Jess, I am not important to you, and thats all that matters. So why would you let me get to you like this? I certainly have not let you get to me. Its a message board, please stop letting it upset you.

    1049. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:48 am

      john,,, join jess in that anger management class and can it!

    1050. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:48 am

      Maz………..Where are you from, Armpit, Arkansas………..or Bumblefuck, Missouri ?

      There’s that intelligent conversation, John…..let it all out!!

      Oh thats right, we been here before

    1051. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 6:48 am

      upsetting me??? i’m laughing my ass off!

    1052. friend of mickey john on June 12th, 2005 6:50 am

      back to bed
      You guys are so off subject

    1053. Kipster on June 12th, 2005 6:50 am

      I’m still enjoying the dialogue. I know what DID NOT happen. That dork did not take the boat out; boats are not like cars: hours, slip logs, and/or a deckhand would have crucified him ater the first interview. You know they checked; they would not be holding the security guards if that were the case.

    1054. John on June 12th, 2005 6:50 am

      If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, eats like a duck, craps like a duck, there’s a fairly good chance it’s not a rhinoceros……………………Maz, try spewing forth your psychobabble to the FBI…………..I’m certain that they’ll appreciate all the superb analytical assistance from a REAL professional, such as yourself…………lmao

    1055. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:51 am

      Fox Update: Blood Sample Being Sent To States
      UPDATED: Fox also now reports that the blood was sent both to Holland and the US for testing. Also, that a call came in relevant to the testing during an interview but whatever the context of the call, it did not change the authorities story as it stands.

      It’s conjecture, but it would seem we might not be talking about simply a drop of blood given that samples were available to send offshore to two different destinations.

      an update from riehlworldview.com

      i think you are reaching a bit maz….. thats more grade school maybe 8-9

    1067. John on June 12th, 2005 6:57 am

      Maz………..Your Bat-Brain tells me that whatever psychological disorder you truly suffer from must have an extremely long name…………..and, that your educational attainment level is not particularly high…………..Perhaps just one neuron short of a synapse.

    1068. CSI Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 6:57 am

      What I don’t understand is why it took 12 days to find the blood in the car. That should have been the first place they searched for evidence. It’s possible it’s a tiny amount of blood that wasn’t spotted right away (which shouldn’t happen with competent CSI, but this is a small island). However, like GaGuy said, it’s being sent to both the US and Holland. That would indicate it probably isn’t just a trace amount.

      Also, it was reported that it was sent to the states to be compared to her mother’s blood. However, her mother said she didn’t even know about the blood being found, so she obviously hadn’t submitted a sample for testing.

    1069. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:57 am

      maybe you are correct, I think the spelling of big words threw me…..

    1070. moustache psychic decoder ring on June 12th, 2005 6:58 am

    1071. John on June 12th, 2005 6:58 am

      Maz………….I think “life” throws you……………

    1072. Gabriel Leo on June 12th, 2005 6:59 am

      It was the dad who gave blood

    1073. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 6:59 am

      CSI-

      The boys were not taken in right away(nor any evidence gathered), and they say that they were watching them, but wouldn’t you say that if the world was questioning your competency?

    1074. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 6:59 am

      CSI thats what Jug said in his interview w/ Geraldo… that they could have had that the first day if they wanted to

    1075. MazRad on June 12th, 2005 7:00 am

      John, you throw me!

      Decoder-

      You were right!! ;)

    1076. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 7:01 am

      i heard the mom sent a sample too the media is screwing the facts all up

    1077. greatest american hero on June 12th, 2005 7:03 am

      i wish we could throw you……

    1078. Gabriel Leo on June 12th, 2005 7:03 am

      Wel it was the father. They found blood inthe car. NO ONE Says if it was a big spot, small etc. They were sent to Holland, because Aruba doesn’t have a CSI department that analyses DNA. A sample was also sent to the states, because teh FBI is involved.

    1079. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 7:05 am

      has everyone here been up all night?

    1080. CSI Psychic Detective Moustache on June 12th, 2005 7:05 am

      That’s freaking insane that they didn’t search the last place she was seen for 12 days?? Yikes… how incompetent can they be??

      And why the hell haven’t they released the security guys yet?? They obviously had nothing to do with it.

      Since the FBI has no jurisdiction over there, they may be shut out of much of the investigation.

    1081. GAGUY on June 12th, 2005 7:05 am

      i wondered that also,, as of 10 pm last night, mom didnt know about the blood.. she found out from Geraldo… what are they comparing it to…

      what all can they look for when comparing blood ? I wonder if they have taken a sample from Joren or the brothers yet

    1082. Gabriel Leo on June 12th, 2005 7:06 am

      nope just woke up

    1085. CSI Psychic Detective Moustache Now With Retsin! on June 12th, 2005 7:09 am

      DNA usually takes a few days, but they can get do a simple blood type test that can rule out, but not definitively confirm whose blood it is.

    1086. Gabriel Leo on June 12th, 2005 7:09 am

      Don’t you think if the FBI was been let out that your Famous American press be all over the story? They always seem to know something true of false.

    1087. jessibobessy on June 12th, 2005 7:11 am

      people are funny at 6 am i think ill only come for the late night crowd. where will you go when this is over?? i’ve never done this before

      Nothing is being said out in the open anymore, unti they are sure about the info. Authorities realized that giving press conferences only makes things worse, because the international media takes on piece of info and make their own info. The family has suffered from these crazy acts from the international media. Can you just imagine how the mother felt when CNN, FOX published that One confessed and that they found Natalee Dead, her body? I’m not saying that the family isn’t expecting that, but the family went nuts in the hotel at about 10 in the night on friday. They got in the car went looking like crazy at the places that cnn said the body had been found for then later the family having to find out it was just a false story, which Especially CNN is putting out there.

      Local media has heard from the family spokesperson here on the island that the family is very upset and that the family in the states has asked CNN, Fox to retrac their info, because their false story is just hurting everyone. ESPECIALLY the family

    1144. Lola on June 12th, 2005 11:20 am

      Compan-

      Yeah! What gives! Are those three getting softballs thrown their way or what?!

    1145. Lola on June 12th, 2005 11:23 am

      It does make me wonder if they are being given an unprofessional interrogation in light of the fact that her parents said they were told by the police how impeccable their reputations are. Barf.

    1146. Lola on June 12th, 2005 11:26 am

      Just who IS joran’s father? I know that he is studying to be a judge. But who is he really? What are his connections in Holland? What was he doing while living in Aruba this whole time. It’s been a while, maybe 14 years from what I read somewhere. Does anyone here have info on him???

    1147. unsurelok on June 12th, 2005 11:34 am

      Anyone know the make and model of Jorans car? 2 door? hatchback?

    1148. unsurelok on June 12th, 2005 11:37 am

      Fox news commentator said blood was found in the trunk…I was thinking it was a hatchback.

    1149. dragonfly on June 12th, 2005 11:41 am

      I don’t know for sure about the car. I saw them towing a silver four door, small, but not a hatchback. I assumed it was the right car because everyone talked about her leaving in a silver car. But I don’t know. I guess they have towed in several cars in this investigation.

    1150. realitycheck on June 12th, 2005 11:48 am

      Face the reality: 99,9% of Americans youngsters that come to Aruba will go all out in nightclubs. They drink to the fullest all night long, they use drugs and they dont’t care with whom they will end up that night. They are on the island to party!! You can’t imagine how many girls are leaving local bars with beach bums, strangers in cars, in a taxi or just walking. I heard from a beach-bum that Natalee was the whole week partying and drunk (where are the chaperones on this moment!).

    1151. AtlantaGuy on June 12th, 2005 11:49 am

      I talked to a friend at CNN this morning. He said: (1) much embarassment at CNN re the “confession” story–he said it was late and didn’t go thru correct approvals; (2) the Laura Bradley story (the other missing woman from Aruba 5 years ago) is essentially BS–her parents sued the cruise line and their case was dismissed basically because they lied to the court–withheld info that Laura had been seen hundreds of times by others–implication was Laura just ran away–not a “disappearance” and people knew where she was etc; (3) the sex slave trade rumors are complete BS–there is no such thing.

      Any thoughts/comments?

    1152. unsurelok on June 12th, 2005 11:55 am

      The blood (if its Natalee’s) can be explained by consensual sex with Natalee IF she was a virgin or starting her period. This would also require all 3 guys to agree that the events included sex. If they all say “I don’t know how Natalee’s blood got in the car” but have uniformly agreed on the sex then the blood may prove nothing.

      If it was in fact in the the trunk of a small 4 door then that’s going to get a bit tougher to explain away.

      It could be explained away by one suspect perhaps, but with three it might get difficult to stick to the story…sure seems a shame they gave them a few days to go over it and practice it instead of grilling them seperately from the beginning.

    1153. El Nombre on June 12th, 2005 11:57 am

      It was Amy Bradley.

    1154. AtlantaGuy on June 12th, 2005 11:59 am

      Right–Amy not Laura.

    1155. unsurelok on June 12th, 2005 12:00 pm

      The Aruban PM was very upset about initial leaks to the press, perhaps they passed on some erroneous info to different persons in the government to see what made it to the press thus confirming who was leaking the info. This might explain the different supposedly officially sourced stories that have been popping up.

    1156. chris on June 12th, 2005 12:02 pm

      I think this chat room has served its purpose and should be shut down… there is only about 0.005% useful ifo and the rest is a bunch of freaks wasting time and causing heartaches.

      The the Scared Monkeys guys – you’ve done a good thing but now I think it is time to cease the endless blogging and just report links to solid verifiable news. If people in Mountain Brook or her friends need to communicate, please encourage them to seek counseling, a minister, or a friend’s shoulder to cry on – but not on some random chat room. With all due respect…

    1157. unsurelok on June 12th, 2005 12:04 pm

    1158. LowLands on June 12th, 2005 12:07 pm

      Lola,
      Joran’s father is just an ordinary lawyer and a judge to be from the Netherlands who moved to Aruba to work there- I do not know him personally but it happens all the time-nothing out of the ordinary

    1159. unsurelok on June 12th, 2005 12:16 pm

      http://www.riehlworldview.com/

      ABC reported on air that early tests indicate the blood found in the Honda suggest that it is unrelated to the case.

    1160. Lola on June 12th, 2005 12:25 pm

      Thanks Lowland-

      So Jorans father has been a lawyer all this time and is NOT a judge yet? Something has to explain why those 3 guys were not detained at day one of Natalee’s disapearence. The fact that the authorities told NH’s parents that the guys reps were impeccables “like Natalie’s” leads me to believe of favoritism or Police incompetence. either one is scandalous.

    1161. Rogers on June 12th, 2005 12:37 pm

      Lola I think the explaination for the delay is the following:

      Other ladies have been reported missing in Aruba prior to this, however it has always turned out to be a run-away romance. Or a let’s-not-return-to-reality-yet sort of escapade.

      Ergo, initially the cops thought Natalee would turn up on her own and Joran being free would likely smoke her out quicker.

      Not an entirely unreasonable set of expectations for the police. Though, apparently wrong.

    1162. --- on June 12th, 2005 12:44 pm

      “Reality Check” you are way off base! You maythink that we’re all a abunch of slutty, drunken idiots, but you’re wrong. Natalee isn’t like that, and you shouldn’t blame the chaperones for anything… THEY DID NOTHING WRONG!!!!

      Thank you KKM, I’m really get sick of people who do nothing but blame and accuse. (As you probably are too!) I wish people who don’t know what they are talking about would quit attacking Nat, or us, or the chaperones. None of this can be blamed on us… they need to be blaming whoever did this to her. Do you go to the High School?

      AtlantaGuy – Would love to believe your story about the missing Bradley girl. While that version may indeed be the gospel truth, your calling her Laura when her name is Amy did put a slight dent in your credibility.

      Any chance you can point us to documentation indicating that the parents have been lying or that Amy has been sighted on several occasions?

    1168. --- on June 12th, 2005 12:59 pm

      hey guys…. no news is good news for the family thus far… even though they were told by the FBI on Friday night that a confession had been made, they are still hopeful…. I pray to God that we aren’t witnessing a coverup of the worst proportions…

      It all reeks of setting up for an accidental death defense…….

      Keep praying for Beth and Dave… the biological parents and their families…… and it is true that the family has called on all the networks to only focus on what are the official statements from the family from now on.. .hopefully, they will reconsider when some police “spokesman” tries again to have his 15 minutes of fame…

    1171. Rogers on June 12th, 2005 1:30 pm

    1173. AtlantaGuy on June 12th, 2005 1:39 pm

      Rogers—–

      I am just relaying what the CNN person told me about Amy Bradley (sorry I got her 1st name wrong in the post). He said CNN doesn’t give any credibility to that story because of the “facts” they have learned. I tried to find on the net anything about the lawsuit being dismissed and why, but no luck so far. This person could be totally wrong–which is why I was asking what others thought or knew.

      The unfortunate disappearance of Amy Bradley occurred on the Rhapsody of the Seas cruise ship, which is affiliated with Royal Caribbean International. The ship was en route to Curacao, Antilles at that time of her disappearance and did not dock in Aruba. For more information I have pasted below the contact information of the Curacao Tourism Board and Royal Caribbean International. If I can be of further assistance to you please let me know.

    1176. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 1:56 pm

      CNN did run a story last night about Amy Bradlee. The family sued the cruise liner, but the lawsuit was dismissed when the judge found the family didn’t disclose that there had been over a hundred reports of her being seen in Curacao and she didn’t seem to be under duress.

      Really, very little similarity to this case.

      — Say, I hope you were able to get some sleep last night. Hopefully, there will be good news today.

    1177. AtlantaGuy on June 12th, 2005 1:58 pm

      Good catch Native Lingo–

      Amy Bradley’s family website–

      http://www.tggweb.com/amybradley/amy-story.htm

      Says the ship was docking in Curacao, not Aruba. So why do people even think the cases are similar or connected? Seems like a red herring.

    1178. JPGR on June 12th, 2005 1:58 pm

      I do hope NH turn out to be alive.
      Last week, CNN reported a story about a girl who disappeared from his hometown seven years ago (I guess in TX) and now she’s shown up in Kentucky. Interviewed by phone, the ex-missing girl said she does not want any contact with her relatives, including her own mother. That may be NH’s case, since she has already runway once three years ago.
      Also, how could three drunk well-to-do boys dispose of a body in the middle of the night without anyone (FBI, Aruba police, many volunteers) finding some trace of it after almost two weeks of search throughout a tiny island like Aruba? If that turn out to be the case, someone else is involved, ’cause these spoiled guys do not seem able to do more than digging a shallow grave in the sand.

    1179. NativeLingo on June 12th, 2005 2:03 pm

      Atlanta, I guess, at this point, reporters will do anuthing to “embelish/dramatize” their stories…..

    1180. AtlantaGuy on June 12th, 2005 2:03 pm

      She ran away 3 years ago?? Where does that come from??

    1181. K in TX on June 12th, 2005 2:03 pm

      Nice theory, JPGR, but from everything I’ve read and heard about Natalee, she doesn’t fit the “runaway” bill. I live in TX, and the girl that ran away went to Texas A&M University, at the time. She was in a huge fight with her mother, over grades, so she ran away. And it was no secret that she didn’t have the greatest relationship with her family. This simply isn’t the case with Natalee. I don’t know her personally, but some of the posters on this board do, and I’m sure they’ll attest to the fact that she would never do that.

    1182. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:06 pm

      Thanks… I got some rest ( I woke up a few times, but a lot less than usual) Hopefully today will bring something good. All we can do is pray and wait.

    1183. NativeLingo on June 12th, 2005 2:09 pm

      K in TX, I’m not implying anything, but I thought it was very odd, that when the mother first addressed Natalee on local tv and radio, her fisrt words were :
      “Hootie, honey, we can talk”

    1184. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:10 pm

      Natalee didn’t run away… I wish people would just put this theory to bed. She wouldn’t do that… despite some false reports, she’s never done it before. She’s not the “run-away” type.

    1185. NativeLingo on June 12th, 2005 2:14 pm

      —, I don’t think she ran away…….at first I thought she did “stay behind” for whatever reason (hung over…passed out)…..not anymore though……..

      MaxRad wanted you to email her last night. Please don’t do it. Please don’t do any private messaging or emailing with anyone except your true friends.

      MazRad wanted to ask you questions though, because your swim friend had posted this on the chatboard

      “she changed her hair color to black. she cut her hair short. She’s probably still by the rock formations near the sea (by the big industrial area). She’s runaway before on a trip to costa rica. none of her friends wanted to say anything.

      Please visit with your swim friend about this. And get this cleared up, just between you and her, ok?

    1187. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:29 pm

      huh? that person is NOT my friend… in fact, it’s doubtful that this person even knows Natalee. None of what this person is alleging is true.

    1188. you're a liar on June 12th, 2005 2:31 pm

      —you said last night she was your friend but you didnt know her name. you said natalee new her from school. why do you keep changing your story?

    1189. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:33 pm

      —, I agree with you. She should not post a comment like that.

      Yesterday it looks like the media was given several bad stories. Now, finally, they are controlling the news, which will be better.

      Every little blood sample or other piece of evidence should not show up in the news. That is making the case harder for the investigators.

    1190. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:34 pm

      My only friend on this board is GPTMB. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

    1191. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:34 pm

      you’re a liar, just go away. That’s NOT what she said. You’re the liar now.

    1192. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 2:34 pm

      Any news about the blood?

    1193. you're a liar on June 12th, 2005 2:36 pm

      —you said last night you new who the Lindsey girl was and you looked her up in the yearbook. someone asked how she new natalee and your respond was “she knows her from school, what does it matter?”

      dallas- dont try to suck up to people just so you can get false info from people who pretend to know her

    1194. Rogers on June 12th, 2005 2:36 pm

      ABC is reporting that the blood is unrelated to this case.

    1195. Robert J. on June 12th, 2005 2:37 pm

      Suggest we all put aside all bickering and non-relevant chit-chat.. and let’s all concentrate on finding Natalee.

      HELP SOLVE THE MYSTERY!

      QUESTION TO ALL: Put yourself in the culprit’s shoes. (1) If you picked up the victim (and you never actually took her out to the beach — as they “said” — i.e. they never went to drop of Natalee at the Holiday Inn as they “said” [according to video sureveillance cameras]). which way would you go? (2) Back to your apartment/house? (3) SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS.. then what would you do? Stuff her in the trunk? Where would you hide the body?? [[ Those on the island will have the advantage on this question. ]]

      Just post your ideas and suggestions — maybe, just maybe, we can help find Natalee!!

      And if you think she’s still alive.. you may want to read about
      another girl who went missing.. and her body was found months
      later..

      http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/news/special_packages/dru_sjodin/archive

      THE MAIN QUESTION: Where on Aruba would you hide a body??

      THIRD QUESTION: (a) Which direction (East, West, North, South) did “the silver car” drive away from the casino after her friends saw her wave and get in the car? (b) Did the car continue straight, or turn, as far as anyone witnessed? (c) If we walk the same route.. can we find OTHER security camera surveillance systems that also captured “the silver car” passing by.. if so, how far along “the route” can we do this? (d) Are there any other security camera surveillance systems anywhere on the island that may have caught “the silver car” passing by that night?? (e) Did any have a cellular phone on them? (f) Did Natalee carry a purse? If so, what’s the description?? Description of shoes?? Necklace?? Eyeglasses?? Any other personal items that may have been dropped anywhere??

    1196. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:37 pm

      OK, now I’m not a mystic or into any of that garbage. I’m a born-again Christian. But I did have a dream about Natalee Halloway last night, so bizarre. I dreamed that she was in a room and a black-and-white TV was showing some show and that there was blue carpet rug hung up on the wall. Since I’m Christian, this would go along the lines of Biblical dreams. Again, I don’t do that Ouiji board stuff or anything like that, I don’t go for that stuff.

    1197. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 2:39 pm

      Did she hook up with anyone while she was in Aruba? And was she with this Joran kid the night before?

    1198. Kat on June 12th, 2005 2:42 pm

      On the blood…FOX was reporting that it was human, but DNA results haven’t come back yet. Without those results, how can they determine it’s unrelated to the case?

    1199. you're a liar on June 12th, 2005 2:43 pm

      i dunno. blood in the car could be from anything though. i mean maybe she had sex with him and she bled? maybe she was on her period?

    1200. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 2:43 pm

      you’re a liar –

      I could care less about obtaining false info. You’re out of line.

      “i dunno. blood in the car could be from anything though. i mean maybe she had sex with him and she bled? maybe she was on her period?”

      In the trunk?

    1202. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 2:45 pm


      I believe that you were there. Your story has remained consistent with your friends’. It is great that the two of you come here to talk about the situation.
      With 124 kids on a trip, not everyone is with everyone at the same time. Remember high school- we were in groups of OUR friends. You can’t remember where everyone is at every moment.

    1203. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:46 pm

      I didn’t know that Lindsey had said any of that. Are you sure that was her?

    1204. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 2:48 pm

      Didn’t she have a roommate at the hotel?

    1205. you're a liar on June 12th, 2005 2:49 pm

      the blood was found in the car- not trunk

      Yes, thats why people were asking you last night if you new the lindsey girl, because she said that stuff and people were wondering if she really did know natalee. you then confirmed that she new natalee, so thats how all this got started. dont know if it was her, thats why we were wondering if there was a alindsey at your school.

    1206. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 2:51 pm

      MazRad was posting cryptic messages claiming someone named Lindsey said those things. However, we don’t know if it was A) legit or B) the same Lindsey you know.

      BTW, you cares if some freaks on a message board don’t believe who you are. You have nothing to prove.

    1207. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:51 pm

      I dont think anyone who knows Nat would say that. It’s totally unfounded. I’m not friends with that Lindsey girl, so I can’t really comment on her character, but I know that anyone who knows Nat wouldn’t say stuff like that.

    1208. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 2:53 pm

      I am sure everyone has a theory. It is probably just her opinion of the situation, if this lindsey girl is saying this stuff it may be her way of grieving.

    1209. you're a liar on June 12th, 2005 2:53 pm

      —did natalee ever discuss her feelings with you about joran? did she have a “crush” on him?

    1210. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 2:54 pm

      Were any of the other girls or guys hooking up with people from the island?

    1211. Kat on June 12th, 2005 2:55 pm

      Actually, FOX is reporting that blood was found in the trunk. Of course yesterday, they were reporting that her body had been found…

    1212. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 2:55 pm

      —Says, It just goes to prove that one must be ever vigilant. Not only out there in the real world, but here on the vast internet too. People lie. People pretend to be something they are not. For a brief moment, the internet can make someone, who feels insignificant… feel very significant. If only for a brief shining moment.

      Let the buyer (listener) beware! It’s good advice years ago, it’s good advice today.

    1213. Kipster on June 12th, 2005 2:56 pm

      “the blood was found in the car- not trunk”

      You know that for a fact do you Mr Detective? Perhaps if you read this thread or caught up with the latest news instead of ragging on this girl, you’d know there are REPORTS of it being found in the trunk.

    1214. you're a liar on June 12th, 2005 2:56 pm

      think about it= high schoolers + aruba + hot guys= hooking up

    1215. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 2:56 pm

      The Lindsey story didn’t even make sense. Assuming this was the Lindsey you know who said this (and I highly doubt it), how would she know what Nat did *after* she was seen that night (with her normal hair)?? She would have had to have gotten a call from her, and why would she call someone she wasn’t close to?

      Obviously, completely bogus.

    1216. you're a liar on June 12th, 2005 2:57 pm

      Why hello kipster. maybe YOU need to read the current news. FOX just reported that the blood found in the CAR was NOT related in the case.

    1217. --- on June 12th, 2005 2:58 pm

      I don’t know why people would try to attack Natalee’s character. She’s an awesome person. I wish you all could have known her before, that way you would kind of understand. She’s too smart and too good to be blamed for some of the things people are accusing her of. It’s simply not true.

    1218. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 2:59 pm

      And Fox News has been a beacon of good information on this or anything else for that matter??

    1219. Kat on June 12th, 2005 2:59 pm

      Hate to quibble with you, but I have FOX on right now and they’re saying TRUNK. Turn it on…they’re about to go live to Aruba.

    1220. you're a liar on June 12th, 2005 3:01 pm

      i have fox on

    1221. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:02 pm

      Oh gosh not blaming her. Please don’t take it that way.

    1222. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 3:03 pm

      ___ Says,

      Anyone with any sense isn’t blaming Natalee.

    1223. Kat on June 12th, 2005 3:03 pm

      Then I assume you heard the word “trunk”.

    1224. you're a liar on June 12th, 2005 3:04 pm

      no, i didnt.

    1225. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:04 pm

      Oh no no! I’m not saying that you are! It’s just some other people seem to be of the opinion that Natalee was a less than respectable girl… which is not true! I’m not implying that you said anything derogatory. I’m really talking about “Lindsey’s” accusations, even though I doubt she would even say those things.

    1226. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 3:05 pm

      Well, from what has been posted here from people who knew her, she sounds like a wonderful person.

    1227. Kat on June 12th, 2005 3:05 pm

      Guess you’ll just have to take my word for it, cause I did. Twice.

      ;-)

    1228. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:07 pm

      “We have found some blood in the car, but we don’t know to whom it belongs,”

      He added that “the blood in the car could be due to a struggle” and also said of Aruban authorities: “There’s a great pressure not to convict local people.”

      They then found surveillance videotapes showing him playing poker with other Mountain Brook teens in their hotel casino two days before she vanished.

      According to their police statement, they did not get out of the car, defense lawyer David Kock said. Instead, Holloway and the Dutch teen, an honors student at the Aruba International School whom she had met at the casino in her hotel, “were in the back seat kissing.”

      The brothers told police the young woman was drunk and refused to get out of the car, said Noraina Pietersz

    1229. dragonfly on June 12th, 2005 3:08 pm

      I just want to say that I do not in any way blame Natalee, the parents, the chaperones, or anyone except whoever is responsible for her disappearance. She is a beautiful young woman who by all accounts had her head on straight and had a bright future because of it. I truly hope that she is found and found ALIVE. My heart goes out to her family and her friends (some of which should be reading this). I absolutely become enraged when I hear people placing blame where it doesn’t belong or taking shots at her character when we don’t even know what happened.

    1230. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:08 pm

      What is Natalee like? Did she date in high school or more of a study type? I was an honor student, but studied during the day, and partied every night. I think the more we know about her, the more chance to find her…

    1231. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:08 pm

      Why would their be a struggle in the trunk?

    1232. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:10 pm

      The best news is coming from Aruba locals who are posting on this site. This morning, one of them said that the family has officially asked FOX and CNN to not post anything unless it is from official channels, and after some back-and-forth yesterday, FOX and CNN have agreed to comply with the family’s wishes.

      An Aruba local posted that on Friday night, the family heard the CNN “she’s dead” report, thought it was something for real, jumped in the car to go look and see if the police were out finding her body. How completely horrible for the family. Yesterday was just flat a bunch of incorrect information – and I agree with one poster, it was probably the police trying to gain a confession from one of the three by saying that another had already confessed.

    1233. Kat on June 12th, 2005 3:11 pm

      “Why would their be a struggle in the trunk?”

      Um, I don’t think the struggle would have occured there. But that could be where she was placed *after* the stuggle. Get it?

    1234. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:12 pm

      Did anyone see the reports that Joran was a drug dealer?

    1235. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:13 pm

      Every report has said the blood was found in the car. Get it? They said maybe there was a struggle WHERE the blood was found. Get it? It doesnt matter anyways, because the blood did not belong to her. Get it?

    1236. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:13 pm

      Let’s say that the three guys did drop her off at the hotel, but not in an area that is covered by surveillance cameras. Isn’t that possible? So then, some local, seedy-type grabs her, and now he doesn’t know what to do, with all the international interest in this story, the seedy-type is trying to figure out how to return her and get away with it.

    1237. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:14 pm

      I can’t even watch the news now because of the emotional rollercoaster they put uas through. I just about lost it when they said she was killed… I was hysterical and drove home from PC in the rain because I had to get home to my friends. These false reports are not only hurtful, but dangerous. I hope that the news stations do try to be more respectful now.

    1238. Kat on June 12th, 2005 3:16 pm

      “Every report has said the blood was found in the car. Get it? They said maybe there was a struggle WHERE the blood was found. Get it? It doesnt matter anyways, because the blood did not belong to her. Get it?”

      How do you know the blood isn’t hers? Everything I’m hearing is that they’re still doing DNA tests here in the states, as well as Holland.

    1239. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:17 pm

      They never dropped her off anywhere at the hotel. We were up all night, we would have seen her. They said they dropped her off by the pool where there were no cameras… however, what they didn’t realize (because they never actually dropped her off) is that we were all out there all night long. I guess they were counting on us going up to our rooms after the club like we had done the previous nights… if they had actually dropped her off like they claimed, they would know otherwise.

    1240. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:17 pm

      —, we are more fortunate than you right now, because we don’t have emotional involvement. We care for Natalee and that she gets home safe, but all us humans have very active imaginations, and I’m sure that your imaginations are running wild as to what might have happened or is happening.

      Still, so far, there is no blood, no sign of a struggle, so hope for the best. People do think twice before harming an American.

    1241. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:17 pm

      I don’t think some local grabbed her. I think then a struggle would have been heard or seen.

    1242. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:18 pm

      —I’m sorry about what you’re going through. I wouldnt watch the news either, and it must be hard being on here. But think, not finding her is a good and a bad thing. You would think if they killed her the police would have found some type of evidence. The longer this goes on and they cant find her, the more I think shes alive. Dont worry, God has a plan for all of us and if anything bad did happen, just think of what she did to you and your friends. She was a major impact on your life, such a good person with a good heart, and maybe this will help other teens to be more careful when out. Its kinda like a wakeup call to everyone.

    1243. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:19 pm


      What time did you all leave the club?

    1244. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:20 pm

      —, you have an excellent point. If they had even dropped her off, they would have heard the sound of all of you out by the pool and would have mentioned that. Instead, they paint a picture of an isolated, middle-of-the-night situation where they pulled up to the hotel and someone approached them that looked like a security guy.

      Ok, so maybe they are the ones that decided to hold onto her. They have her stashed at someone’s house, and now they are panicked and trying to worm there way out of their poor decision.

      Now that is possible.

    1245. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:21 pm

      It closed at about 1, 1:30 and we left around then. A couple of my friends and I went to another club for a minute to make suer that no one went there and were being left behind. When we all went to the hotel, we sat outside at the pool for the rest of the night until REALLY late.

    1246. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:23 pm

      These boys panicked over something… that is why they never went back to the hotel.

    1247. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:23 pm

      —-what did you all think of joran and his friends? did natalee like him?

    1248. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 3:23 pm

      — Says, I have a question. Of course, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. :)

      Is it true that Joran got into an argument with some of Natalee’s friends earlier that night? If so, did you see it, and what was it about?

      I’m so sorry what you’ve had to go through, and how the conflicting mediar reports are only making things worse.

    1249. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:24 pm

      pleasefindher, you are correct that God is sufficient and that He’s got the whole world in His hands. The Laci Peterson story had an unfortunate outcome, but Lo and Behold, not only did her body surface (a miracle by itself) but so did that of her unborn child (two miracles then).

      God certainly has His hand on this situation and we’ll just have to trust Him and see what happens next.

    1250. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:24 pm

      Like I said before, when I met him, I thought he was kinda sketchy, but then again, I thought everyone who wasn’t from MB was sketchy.

    1251. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:24 pm

      See that also doesn’t make sense. Aruba girl was on here this morning saying that it was a 15 minute drive to the beach and a 7-10 minute drive to the hotel. That would only be them being at the beach area for 3-5 minutes. To have her dropped off at 2.

    1252. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:26 pm

      How did you meet him?

    1253. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:26 pm

      what did NATALEE think of him?

    1254. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:27 pm

      Yeah, someone I know (I won’t post names) got in an argument with him before. I didn’t bother getting involved with it because it didn’t concern me. I don’t really like to meddle in other people’s buisness. I don’t know what it was about, but I know it wasn’t like an actual fist fight… just a lot of yelling, maybe some pushing, but not a lot.

    1261. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 3:35 pm

      Not blaming Natalee for her own poor judgment and poor choices is what sets up our young adults to make the same fatal errors. No one should be saying “we don’t blame, Natalee”. I certainly hold her responsible for her choices. I hold her parents responsible for their poor choices, her friends responsible for their poor choices, her chaperones responsible for their poor choices and Jaron responsible for his predatory ways.

      Had none of the poor choices been made by all those listed above…we would NOT be here today, folks. So, take the rosy glasses off your eyes and be willing to call it as it is.

      People make bad choices. That’s a fact. Stop giving the word “blame” such a bad name. There something good to be said about placing blame where it belongs.

      Now, learn from their poor choices.

    1262. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:36 pm

      im surprised too no one has confessed. i surely hope who do someday find out what happened.

      one murder that still gets to me is the jonbenet ramsey case. just the face of that beautiful little girl, i dont see how someone could do such a horrible crime. whether or not the parents did it, they have definitly had a hard life since then.

    1263. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:37 pm

      i agree catraiana. if everyone had played their role and made good choices, natalee would not be lost right now.

    1264. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:37 pm

      — you are totally smart to not post names. We don’t need names to discuss the reported facts of the case.

      MissyRose – I’m not defending the three guys, but if the four of them were just running out to see the lighthouse, well it doesn’t take a whole lot of time to see a lighthouse. So it is believable to run out there, hey take a look to say that yeah we saw it, and then head on to the hotel because it’s late.

    1265. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:38 pm

      We can’t blame anyone until we know the story.

    1266. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:38 pm

      getting in the car with 3 guys who you barely know and expecting nothing bad to happen is like standing in the middle of the road and expecting not to get hit.

      Catriana, you are one of the most heartless and ignorant people I’ve ever met. How dare you say such cruel things. You’re odious remarks are not only mean-spirited, but unmerited. Natalee shouldn’t be blamed for this, her parents did nothing wrong and neither did the chaperones or any of us. You are a cold and cruel person.

    1268. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:40 pm

      Dallas, that is a really good point. I just don’t know if I buy it.

    1269. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 3:40 pm

      Thank you, Say! I’ll take that as a compliment. At least I don’t put blinders on and walk around the world like a politically correct idiot.

      Like it or not, Natalee is responsible for where she is, by the poor choices she made. She’s not responsible alone, but she helped.

      Have a wonderful day!

    1270. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:40 pm

      Catraiana, once the facts come out, then would be the time to figure out the blame.

      So far, we don’t have anything that any of the Birmingham folks could truly be blamed for. Please don’t go there. Everyone that left that club that night was truly trying to account for everyone else, that is a documented fact.

    1271. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:40 pm

      —no one is saying anyone did anything wrong. chill out…all we are saying is that if everyone made good choices natalee would still be here today. thats all. people need to learn from all these mistakes. hopefully from now on, teens will not get into a car with random guys, friends will not let friends get into the car with random guys, and chapperones will do their jobs as chapperones.

    1272. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:42 pm

      pleasefindher, Natalee thought she was being driven home just by the one guy, and then she was seen with three guys in the car.

      That’s my understanding of Natalee’s decision.

    1273. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 3:42 pm

      Catriana, the only person to blame is the psycho who abducted her. You can’t live your life being paranoid about everything that *could* happen in every situation. That’s not to say you shouldn’t be careful and use good common sense, but to blame the victims (Natalee, her friends, and chaperones) is just ridiculously callous.

    1274. Nate on June 12th, 2005 3:43 pm

      I sure wish she just fell in love with the guy, decided that she didn’t want to leave. Then her and him, and the two guys figured out a plan to hide her on the island or something like that. But that’s a Hollywood type story or something.

    1275. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:44 pm

      You are an idiot. I am infuriated right now! I can not believe you will sit there on your high horse and condemn those of us who are suffering right now! Please keep your cold remarks to yourself. You don’t know her and you weren’t there. You can’t blame her or any of us… you don’t know what happened.

    1276. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:44 pm

      But we honestly don’t know if Natalee’s choices made the situation. Maybe she was forced in to the situation, maybe drugged, maybe manipulated. Maybe she did get dropped off, maybe she wandered. We don’t know who is at fault. That is what we are all waiting to hear. We should remember that….

    1277. Kat on June 12th, 2005 3:44 pm

      Wonder how well Catriana would function on roofies?

    1278. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:44 pm

      it is common sense to not get into a car at 1 am with 3 guys who you barely know. good lord.

      dallas..that is a rumor. how do people know what natalee was thinking? why would she think joran was driving her home when im sure she new he couldnt drive? HELLO

    1279. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 3:45 pm

      Dallas… One doesn’t need any more facts to KNOW that wrong choices were made. And those wrong choices were made by a lot of people involved.

      I’m just as sick as anyone about what has taken place. I’m a mother of three and a grandmother of three. This event sickens and saddens me. But what saddens me more, is the attitude of someone like —Say. Because you see, that is how these things happen. She can believe that Natalee was in no way responsible for her situation and that attitude is exactly WHY these situations happen.

      If people can be honest with themselves, they will see how the many poor choices made by various individuals set up the scenario for someone to take advantage of Natalee.

      A truly SAD situation. Putting blinders on… well, that doesn’t help anyone, does it?

      BTW, I’m not “blaming” anyone. I’m stating my observation regarding known facts.

    1280. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:46 pm

      Catriana, even as Natalee was walking out of the club, Birmingham people were looking out for each other and seeing that everyone got up to leave and go back to the hotel.

      — even spotted Natalee who was walking several steps ahead of her as they were leaving. And even asked her if she was ok (like friends always do as they are exiting a party).

      Catriana, you probably just didnt’ know that. But that is why the family isn’t blaming the ‘Bama folks that were there. They were all doing the standard thing of making sure that they all left at once.

    1281. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:46 pm

      she didn’t know he couldnt drive.. he lied to all of us about his age… besides that, how dare you further victimize her! You people are sickening!

    1282. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 3:47 pm

      Kat.. you would first have to tell me what roofies is and I’ll be happy to tell you how I would survive.

    1283. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:47 pm

      i feel very bad for natalee. this should not of happened to her. BUT i doubt this would have happened if she had made good choices. this stuff happens everyday. sooo many things happen in this world that we dont hear about, this is just the case of one girl who we do hear about. teens make alot of bad decisions, and the results turn out bad.

    1284. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 3:48 pm

      —Say, I would say you are just too emotionally involved in the situation to see it as it is. So, I’ll agree to disagree with you with no further comment to your remarks and no further comment to you.

      Have a wonderful day.

    1285. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:49 pm

      Common sense, I agree. But how well is common sense working at 1 am after a couple of drinks, a day in the sun, and god knows what else she was given. It was some strange guy to us it was, but to her it was probably just her hanging out with the guy she was hanging out with for a couple of days…
      Trust me had it she just met him it would have been different. He gained her trust obviously.

    1286. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 3:49 pm

      Catriana, you didn’t blame anyone? Ummm… maybe scroll up a few posts where you used the word “blame.” Contradict yourself, much?

      Do us all a favor and go away.

    1287. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:49 pm

      how old did he say he was? when did you found out he was lying?

      —-you need to WAKE up and realize that she did make some bad decisions. Believe it or not, this is not the first time a drunk girl has gotten into a car with a guy and ended up either dead, raped, or missing.

    1288. Nate on June 12th, 2005 3:50 pm

      — How old did Jaron say he was?

    1289. Kat on June 12th, 2005 3:50 pm

      Check out this link Cat. Let’s pretend someone slipped some of this into your drink without your knowlege. What then?

      http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/health-info/sexual/daterape/drape.html

    1290. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:51 pm

      I have never been so insulted in my life! If you aren’t going to do anything but criticize and accuse despite the fact that you have NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, maybe you should leave. You weren’t there! You don’t know what it was like! You obviously are a cold hearted woman who doens’t care at all about Nat or her friends and family. I do “see it how it is” because I wa sthere to see it! You werent!

    1291. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:51 pm

      well, you shouldnt leave your drink with a random guy, or let a random guy buy you a drink.

    1292. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:52 pm

      And it wouldn’t be the first time a girl was abducted against her will, after being drugged. You are keeping a very narrow minded view if all you can do is blame and not accept circumstances.

    1293. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:52 pm

      IF YOU WERE THERE TO SEE IT THEN WHY DIDNT YOU STOP HER?

    1294. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 3:52 pm

      Not likely to go away, Psychic. But if you were truly psychic you would know that! :) A little humor there.

      Sometimes I contradict myself with wording, but never contradict my message.

      Apparently, for some of you it is easier to make me and my views the “bad” guy than to admit what is true. So be it. I have thick skin.

    1295. --- on June 12th, 2005 3:53 pm

      Pleasefindher, Please don’t act like you have any idea about the events of that night… you don’t. Stop blaming, start praying.

    1296. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 3:53 pm

      Everyone makes hundreds of questionable decisions in their life? Do they deserve to be abducted, or, heaven forbid, murdered?

    1297. AtlantaGuy on June 12th, 2005 3:53 pm

      Who cares who is to blame! The point is to find her regardless!

    1298. Nate on June 12th, 2005 3:54 pm

      Yeah, this whole blame game is getting old…sheesh…give it up people…

    1299. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:55 pm

      —DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT THE EVENTS OF THE NIGHT? YOU SAID YOU DIDNT SEE HER LEAVE, NOW YOU SAY YOU DID SEE HER LEAVE. WHICH ONE IS IT? YOU SHOULDNT BE HERE IF YOU ARE SO NARROWMINDED. WOULD YOU HAVE GOTTEN IN A CAR WITH 3 GUYS YOU BARELY NEW?

    1300. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:55 pm

      Pleasefindher- I agree with that. But this is a girl from Alabama, how often do you think people drug drinks in Mountain Brook High Schol? I went to high school in Fort Lauderdale, so I was made aware at a young age. They didn’t go to Aruba expecting crime.

    1301. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:56 pm

      no one is blaming anyone. all we are saying is that she made some questionable decisions. —says she didnt.

    1302. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 3:56 pm

      Catriana, Why would we think you’re the bad guy? I don’t know… maybe because you’re upsetting one of Natalee’s friends who is already feeling terrible, you freaking moron! Don’t you have any compassion?? If you did… you’d go away.

    1303. Kat on June 12th, 2005 3:56 pm

      “well, you shouldnt leave your drink with a random guy, or let a random guy buy you a drink.”

      Nope, you shouldn’t. But doing those things is a far cry from willingly getting into a car with 3 strange men at 1:30 in the morning. Any way you stack it, she’s the victim here. Assuming that she excercised poor judgement without knowing what actually happened is pretty pretentious, IMO.

    1304. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 3:56 pm

      Say, if you wish me to not comment to YOU, stop directing your questions at me.

      My opinion remains the same. Find another person to vent your frustrations on. You aren’t changing my position or view.

      But, since your brought it up. You are right. I wasn’t there. But if I had been, I would physically dragged my friend home if I had to. How do I know that? Because when I was a teenager I had to do that very same thing and did. Did my friend like it? NO. But, I didn’t care. My friend was about to put herself in the same danger as your friend did.

      So, take your holier than thou attitude elsewhere. Perhaps when you are 51 years of age and have as much life under your belt as I do, you’ll see things a bit clearer.

    1305. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 3:57 pm

      Catriana, you are way off base. You need to back off. The ‘bama people did absolutely everything that was expected of them as they were leaving the bar. They all looked out for each other and made sure that everyone got up to leave and head for the hotel.

    1306. dragonfly on June 12th, 2005 3:57 pm

      Once again, I think the point here is that no one knows if these guys put something in her dring that would have affected her choice to leave with the young man or not. No one knows if it affected how she reacted to 3 boys in the car instead of one. No one knows if these guys actually did anything to her or if she did somehow make it back to the hotel and get kidnapped by no fault of her own. That is the point. How can we place blame on her choices when we don’t even know if her choices led us where we are or if she was even in the frame of mind to make actual choices.

    1307. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 3:58 pm

      if—-is hurting and getting her feelings hurt, she should leave. she should know people will have there own beliefs. if she cant handle them, adios.

    1308. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 3:58 pm

      As to the comment about how well I would do if someone slipped something into my drink. I can tell you, that would be impossible. I’m much too paranoid to drink a drink that anyone was able to get that close to. :) :)

    1309. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 3:59 pm

      Oh.. and if by chance it did happen, I would expect my friends to cover my back!

    1310. AtlantaGuy on June 12th, 2005 3:59 pm

      Again–who cares if anyone involved made any questionable decisions. What is the point of debating that now. Monday-morning quarterbacking.

      The point is to find her.

    1311. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 3:59 pm

      You can’t place blame until you know the whole story.

    1312. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 4:00 pm

      Well Catriana, aren’t you the virtue of perfection?? It’s funny that you accuse someone of having a holier than thou attitude when that’s exactly what you’re doing. You hypocritical witch.

    1313. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 4:00 pm

      i agree catriana. if someone slipped something in my drink, my friends wouldnt let me go home with 3 guys. and if they did, one of my friends would come with me.

    1314. Kat on June 12th, 2005 4:01 pm

      Hey Dash (can I call you Dash?). I’m really sorry about your friend and I hope they find her safe & sound. Try not to let folks who know all of the answers get to you. It makes them feel safer thinking that bad things could never randomly happen to them or those they love. They’re speaking out of fear and trying to make sense out of the senseless.

    1315. Nate on June 12th, 2005 4:01 pm

      can’t we all just get along? haha

    1316. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 4:01 pm


      Question for you…
      What do the people who were there believe happened? You guys knew her. You saw her.

    1317. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 4:01 pm

      pleasefindher, it was — who saw Natalee walking just several paces in front of her as they were leaving the bar and asked the question “are you alright?” and Natalee said that she was fine.

      She said that she was fine. And — believed her. The end. No blame is possible there.

      Nat probably was drugged (and guess what, the bartender can be the one that slips in the drug, and it is hard to completely watch your drink, if you’re not the suspicious type).

    1318. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 4:03 pm

      Pleasefindher…. I’ve learned a lot in my 51 years of life and if some folks think that is arrogance, so be it. I’ve experienced a lot and I’ve learned from it. I certainly don’t expect a 17/18 year old child to have enough experience to make all the right decisions. No one ever said making mistakes was a crime.

      I’ve also learned over the years that people like to jump on people when they don’t like to hear what they have to say. To that, I say, too bad. I’ve never let a few emotional individuals dictate what I have to say or not say before. I’m not going to let it bother me now. But, if it makes them feel better… what the heck!

    1319. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 4:03 pm

      why would she ask her that if she didnt think anything was wrong with her? so natalee says she fine so its okay for her to get into a car with 3 random guys. right. why are you answering our question about how old joran said he was?

    1320. --- on June 12th, 2005 4:04 pm

      I cant deal with this. I’m glad you find some sick pleasure in further antagonizing people who are in serious pain right now… you disgust me. I’m leaving. I may come back depending on whether or not those of you with ice on your hearts are still trying to hurt those of us who actually care. To thos eof you who are kind and respectful, thank you. Keep praying…

    1321. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 4:05 pm

      adios.

    1322. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 4:05 pm

      The other kids from a little town in Alabama who were partying up on their last night on vacation are supposed to make good judgement decisions about themselves, and their friends also.

    1323. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 4:06 pm

      uhhh —allready said that they partied all the time in alabama. they are teenagers! its what they do!

    1324. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 4:07 pm

    1325. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 4:07 pm

      Has anyone heard any new, confirmed information? Or is it still status quo?

    1326. --- on June 12th, 2005 4:08 pm

      I NEVER SAID THAT!!!!

    1327. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 4:08 pm

      you said that last night! see, maybe thats why some people dont believe you, because you keep changing your story.

    1328. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 4:09 pm

      It doesn’t matter how much someone partied. It doesn’t make them responsible for everyon they are partying with.

    1329. Catriana on June 12th, 2005 4:10 pm

      ::”can’t we all just get along? haha”:::

      Hey, that’s what I said!! :) :)

    1330. --- on June 12th, 2005 4:10 pm

      I never said that we “party all the time” everything I’ve said has been logged… you find where I said that.

    1331. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 4:10 pm

      Pleasefindher and Catriana,

      You two are really assholes. Do you feel good about antagonizing and hurting someone who is already in pain? You talk about the actions of people who were in Aruba. However, you don’t give any thought to your actions right now hurting an innocent girl. In summary, you two should get together and fuck yourselves.

      Have a great day!

    1332. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 4:11 pm

      – don’t respond.
      It isn’t worth it. Everyone has opinions, doesn’t mean they are right or wrong. Honestly no one can understand who to blame until it happens to them or someone close to them.

    1333. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 4:11 pm

      you said natalee has drank and partied before, just like all teens have.

    1334. AtlantaGuy on June 12th, 2005 4:12 pm

      I second the thoughts of Psychic Detective.

    1335. --- on June 12th, 2005 4:12 pm

      I never said that. You are so full of it.

    1336. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 4:12 pm

      personally i think she has alot of anxiety bc she knows what natalee did was wrong.

    1337. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 4:12 pm

      Pleasefindher,

      Don’t you have some grammar lessons you need to go and take?

    1338. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 4:12 pm

      i thought you were leaving?

    1339. pleasefindher on June 12th, 2005 4:13 pm

      no, i dont.

    1340. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 4:13 pm

      —, I just noticed that most of the posters are posting at http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/?p=1120

      and I would suggest that you move over there. Some of the posters that have arrived here (like Catairoah or whatever her name is, MissyRose, and others) should truly have mentioned that.

      I’m going to move over there, especially because arubagirl has been posting there and she has been a knowledgable source of local information.

    1341. Psychic Detective on June 12th, 2005 4:14 pm

      Well, people might take you a little more serious if you were literate. Something to think about…

    1342. --- on June 12th, 2005 4:15 pm

      I don’t know why you are so set on being vicious and cruel, but I can’t deal with this. My friends are making me leave because they are sick of seeing me hurt. I don’t want to cry anymore and I don’t want to waste all of my energy fighting an uphill battle with people like you. I’m gone. Don’t lie and say that I said things that you know I didn’t. Thank you to those of you trying to defend me, but I don’t want you to have to waste energy doing that anymore either. Keep your heads up and keep praying for Nat. I know I will.

    1343. MissyRose on June 12th, 2005 4:15 pm

      pleasefindher, you also were posting on the latest site – you should have shepherded us over there, where facts are being posted.

      — when a discussion thread gets full – then they move on to the next number. Normally, a moderator posts that it’s time to move to the next thread.

      Well, it’s time for us all to move to the next thread.

    1346. dragonfly on June 12th, 2005 4:33 pm

      What I remember her saying in a previous post was that Natalee was not much of a drinker. She may be seen at a party now and then but never more than 1 or 2 beers. I remember that conversation from yesterday.

    1347. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 4:37 pm

      dragonfly, please move over to

      http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/?p=1120

      We all have.

    1348. mordred on June 12th, 2005 4:56 pm

      Catriana-
      Even though I respect your opinion & think they are coming from a good place – you should realise that they are being unproductive.

      Making “poor choices” is HUMAN, causing harm to another by taking advantage of those choices is CRIMINAL! I participate in a program called “Red Nose” where we drive people from clubs when they are too drunk to drive – they are putting their lives in my hands at that time , a “poor choice’” you could say – but it is that trust that represents the best in the human spirit! If we lose that, believe me you won’t be safe even if you never leave your house!

    1349. Dallas Also on June 12th, 2005 5:02 pm

      mordred, the discussion moved to 1120 and at this point has moved to

      http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/?p=1121

      You’ll find Catriana there for you to post to. I hope you do repost over there, she was way out of line.
