Natalee Holloway Fauxtograpghy … Was this an Attempt to Discredit Natalee?

Posted in: Aruba,Bloggers,Fauxtography,Natalee Holloway

During the course of the Natalee Holloway investigation there was a concerted effort by NH_faux1many to discredit Natalee and her family. Many came up with “conspiracy” theories that she for no apparent reason just ran off. Others, including contingents with IP addresses from Aruba and Holland made the accusations that Natalee Holloway some how asked for what occurred. Some even went so far as to state that she was responsible for her own disappearance whether it was intentional or by others actions. The attempt to discredit Natalee Holloway to some how preserve Aruba’s reputation and that of the three suspects became a cottage industry. Is there a reason why this picture and the others that claim to be of Natalee Holloway seen to be disproportionate from other pictures of Natalee with her friends? Natalee is a rather small girl. Why do the pictures of her in Carlos N’ Charlies that were nothing but an effort to show that she was out of control seem just not right? We wonder.

In July of 2005 pictures of Natalee Holloway were posted on-line from Carlos N’ Charlies depicting Natalee Holloway dancing on the bar. It was stated that they were sent to a blog by a tourist. Were they really? Or was this an attempt to discredit Natalee Holloway and use fauxtography to do so?

At first glance it looks like Natalee is dancing on the extension of the dance floor that curves over to the bar.  On closer inspection it appears this photo from July 22, 2005 has been photoshopped. 
 
I’ve brightened the two photo’s above and noted the photoshopping done.

In the highlighted and enlarged photo below, look at the square below Natalee’s arm and above the girls head. This is one area of photoshopping  We believe the girl is Natalee’s friend Lee.  Also look at Natalee’s top.  Her top had spagetti straps, the strap here looks too wide.  Also there is a vertical line which appears to be another photoshopped area on Natalee’s top.

There are other “oddities” in the photos that are being reviewed.

Was this just an effort by those with a protect Aruban tourism agenda at all cost?
