- Lessons of the Lost Boy Scout
Show Your Support for Natalee Holloway … (Aruba) ATA is a major Sponsor at The Boston Globe Travel Show March 23-25
people away from the obvious fact that they covered up the investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The ATA and Aruba would rather look the other way and hope people forget that Natalee Holloway ever went missing on Aruba. They hope that the American people will give Aruba a pass that an obvious and easy investigation was torpedoed from the outset. Do not let them succeedThis weekend Aruba and the ATA are participating and are a major sponsor in Boston, MA 
at the Boston Globe Travel Show. As with the boycott of Aruba, it is a personal choice done by individuals, not a concerted effort by large organizations or states. The power of the people and your right to decide where one wishes to spend their hard earned money on a vacation is a personal choice. The fact that many Americans chose not to go to Aruba anymore is a direct result of the inaction and unwillingness to solve and prosecute the case of Natalee’s disappearance.
A group of individuals will be going to Boston this weekend. A long time poster at Scared Monkeys, Richard, has provided us with the letter below. Join Richard and others in Boston and help provide, “Justice for Natalee”. Stand up for Natalee.
My name is Richard, and I’ve been posting here about the Natalee Holloway case for some time. Now I’m organizing a protest. You may know that the Boston Globe Travel Show is being held on March 23-25, and Aruba Tourism Authority is a major sponsor.Boston and New England are big tourist markets for Aruba. The ATA comes here even as Aruba does nothing on Natalee’s case. The Holloway Twittys continue to fight a foreign government (or two) with no help from Washington. No help from the travel industry, the gaming industry, or the hotel industry, all of which have financial interests in the Aruban economy.Who will help the family? “We the people.” Some of us will be at Boston, reminding people about the case and urging them not to go to Aruba. ”No justice for Natalee? No tourists for Aruba.”
Here’s what we won’t do:
- Anything violent or illegal. We want to persuade people, not force them.
- Debate theories about what happened. We won’t give answers, we’ll seek them.
- Confront Arubans. We don’t want to argue with Arubans, but to persuade Americans.
- Speak for the Holloway Twitty family. We do not represent them or receive support from them, and they did not ask us to do this. We are doing this to fight an injustice.
Here’s what we will do:
- Wear T-shirts with Natalee’s picture. This is the single most powerful visual element we can use to state our case.
- Have handouts with timelines of the case, Aruba’s lies and evasions, steps and mis-steps, and various other details.
- We will refer to this and other blogs as reference material.
The Face of Aruban Tourism
Aruba wonders why their tourism continues to decline.
Updates to follow …
If you want to help, ask Red or Tom to send me your email and I’ll contact you. It’s been nearly two years since Natalee vanished that night. A crime was committed. We want the guilty punished, and Natalee returned home. We will fight for these goals.Come join us in Boston! Stand up for Natalee!

Parents & Sex Offender Charged with Capital Murder in death of 6 year old Christopher Michael Barrios
Donald Dale, George Edenfield and his parents David and Peggy have all been charged with capital murder in the death of 6 year old Christopher Michael Barrios. There are no words or punishments on this earth that would be appropriate for what these monsters did. Unfortunately we provide humane measures to how we exercise the death penalty.
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — A convicted sex offender and his parents were charged with capital murder Wednesday in the death of 6-year-old Christopher Michael Barrios.
The prosecutor in the case will seek the death penalty.
George Edenfield and his parents, David and Peggy, are charged with murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, enticing a child with indecent purposes, false imprisonment and cruelty to children and child molestation.
Donald Dale, the family friend also in custody in connection with Christopher’s death, is not being charged with capital murder but along with the Edenfields is being charged with concealing the death of another person and tampering with evidence. Dale will not be eligible for the death penalty. (Fox News)
UPDATE I: Funeral for 6-Year-Old Christopher Barrios to be Held Thursday; Suspects Took Turns Assaulting Boy
The reports from this can’t are just getting worse and worse. Can we just bypass the trial and go straight to “sparky”.
According to an indictment issued Wednesday, convicted child molester George Edenfield and his father took turns sexually assaulting Christopher while the molester’s mother watched, then they choked the boy to death.
The indictment charges all three family members with murder and child molestation in the slaying of Christopher, whose body was found March 15 inside a trash bag dumped by a roadside. (Fox News)
Joran Van der Sloot Body Language … “His eyes are darting all over the place”
“He also looks around everywhere. His eyes are darting all over the place and usually that’s indicative of somebody who’s looking for an escape route. He is not making eye contact his eyes just seem to be going all over the place. You know when he talks about she came to me he does that little eyebrow lift and then you can see a little bit of a smile that crosses his face”.
“Yeah I think that there is something more that he knows. Not maybe something that he’s done but something that he might know.”

What is Wrong With People? Foster Mother Eunice Spry Found Guilty of Cruel and Sadistic Treatment
Some things just defy all that we consider humane and sane. Such is the case with 62 year old foster mother Eunice Spry. She was just found guilty of abuses against the children in her care for the past 19 years. One really begins to wonder, what is wrong with some people. How could anyone be so cruel?
A foster mother was found guilty today of subjecting three young children to a “horrifying catalogue of cruel and sadistic treatment”.
Eunice Spry, 62, routinely beat, abused and starved the youngsters in her care over a 19 year period. The devout Jehovah’s Witness forced sticks down their throats and made them eat their own vomit and rat excrement. (Daily Mail, London)
Please be advised the abuses described and pictured are disturbing. The full article can be read HERE.
