      Arubagirl…not to be disrespectful but is there only one radio station? Or is 95 just the most popular?

    10. NativeLingo on June 12th, 2005 12:31 am

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

      maybe she wanted to have sex and it wasnt rape. maybe she bled from it ”

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

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

      Still alive? where did you hear that Tell Me It’s…?

    23. John on June 12th, 2005 12:33 am

      Bengalbaby…………..”Yikes”, “Zowie”, “Wow”, “Eek”………….are only used in cartoons, comic books, and “Batman”………….lol

    24. GPTMB 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

      Wait, I want to hear more about why y’all think she’s alive. I want to believe it too.

    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

      THe Prime Minister said “in the trunk”!

    72. Lola on June 12th, 2005 12:49 am

      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

      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.

    101. SA on June 12th, 2005 12:58 am

      has anyone heard anything on the fox report about the blood tests being back ?

    103. WoodGuy on June 12th, 2005 12:59 am

      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……

    106. --- on June 12th, 2005 1:00 am

    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??????????

    116. Lola on June 12th, 2005 1:02 am

    119. Lola on June 12th, 2005 1:04 am

      How rumors start.

      Suspect1: We dropped her off at around 2am.
      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.

    127. Tom on June 12th, 2005 1:06 am

      Thank you Tom from people who care about Natalee and her family and friends

    130. Lola on June 12th, 2005 1:07 am

      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.

    146. Lola on June 12th, 2005 1:11 am

      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.

    198. concerned mom on June 12th, 2005 1:21 am

      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.

      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.

    320. Island Bunny on June 12th, 2005 1:47 am

      :)

    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 o
