RUMORS OF BREAKING NEWS #9

[gaijin]

Leslie. They are NOT searching. Not on a massive scale, at least.

ArubaGirl..glad to see you on, thought for a while you had been driven away,  nice to see you back...and you American inaruba and you also friendofmonkeys...nice to see you all on....just need native now to sign on...now lets find the child...

[arubagirl]

This is all hearsay, so my apologies if it's not true:

van Rijn is 23, going on 24. He's very close to van der Sloot, and his father hanged himself after a life filled with drugs. I've HEARD that the son also does drugs, don't know it. Have also HEARD that he walks armed, but don't know for sure.

I've HEARD he lives at Jaraweg, but before he lived on the Savaneta main road.

[Shellbell]

Im totally confused and I dont know what has happened to her, however in the end I think Joran is innocent.
This is my whole outlook on the situation.  All the rumors have killed my philosophy.

Does anyone know the last name of the girl Sasha who had the 15th Birthday party?  Very blond, very pretty.  So many pictures taken with guests on Pancalente, but couldn't tell who her parents were.

A ban is silly. It only hurts the innocent people who work down there, not the murdered or kidnappers.

It is like the teach punishing the entire class when little johnny can't be quiet.

SB, this wasn't a translation from the radio or anything. This is what I hear. And yes, I speak Papiamento fluent.

What Edmond meant to say (in my opinion) is: We give everything, all our attention, time, efforts (we being non-cop/prosecution) to find Natalee, and we have to listen NH's mom being 'fresh', demanding her return now. We don't know where she is, we want to find her, but don't take that tone, otherwise you will make us stop caring.

PLease, let's all not start fighting again.  In all honesty, do you think if Arubagirl turned up missing in Florida, that Jeb Bush would give all government employees the day off to go search for her??  I understand Natalee's moms frustration, but I also believe the Aruban people have gone above and beyond.

Her frustration isn't with the people, it's with the suspects.  She hasn't said anything negative about aruba or their le, save that the media was getting info before her.  ANd don't compare aruba and florida please, florida dwarfs aruba in terms of size and it would be completely impractical for them to do that.  Aruba on the other hand depends on tourism, so I can certainly see their need to defend their reputation and resolve this as soon as possible.  Let's stop blaming the victims for things they haven't done.

Searching again?  One of the 3 amigos must have had a recovered memory.  Maybe they are looking around another lighthouse. Yeah, thats the ticket.

I like that - "recovered memory." I was thinking they would drain something next to a hotel somewhere.

As for the criticisms of NH's mom, I think it's appalling they are doing that.  As if the poor woman and her family doesn't have enough to deal with, now she isn't being polite enough or nice enough for them???    They need to consider this woman's state of mind and just grin and bear it for now.   They will have plenty of time to complain about her later.

Personally, I think they're more upset by the threat to their economy than poor Beth.

Aruba is 69 square miles.  Nothing would be considered a massive search.

Dave Holloway mentioned in one of his interviews that although the island is not huge, it is very hard to search though - the vegetation is tough to walk through, for example.

What a testimony of dedication that the locals stopped their economies to get out and search.

I can certainly understand Beth's "I want her NOW" comment.  She's getting frustrated.  She gave birth to Natalee, she carried her for 9 months in the womb, she's spent the last 18 years raising that girl.

ARUBA.. GIVE HER (Beth) A BREAK!!!   She has reached her emotional ropes end.  I certainly hope you didn't mean Aruba would "stop caring" if Beth has to blow her top now and again.

Until you are in her shoes, authorities in Aruba.. please give her some leeway.

The aruban fife cops need to get rolling.  I support thr ban on Aruba becasue it is american money that support the island.  No Natalee no toursidt money.

While I think we all felt the investigation took a wrong turn in the beginning, we all know now that they justice ministry there is VERY private about any information they have, and with all the crazies out here making accusations and pointing fingers and throwing fits it is rightly so that they are so tightlipped.  We just don't like it because we aren't used to it.  BUT, I think we all believe that they know much more than what we are given on TV.  The bashing is helping nothing except alienating very good people from that country.  We have taken much longer to solve crimes in the US, so we need to lay off and give them a chance.

ShellBell:

I think as a southern girl, our values are a lot like Arubans. From what I can see we both are VERY protective of our people and families.

Keep up the content-free posting.  It's really something.

Lausa, do we need to know that?  She's a minor.

Come on guys how long did it take the whole federal security establishment to find Chandra Levy under their noses in DC, about the size of aruba, over a year?  If you can't find her you can't find her.  That is a possible outcome and a more likely one with each passing day.  Want to boycott DC too?

My first thought?  She is adopted.

This seems like a troll comment that should be ignored. Why do these posts always show up when Arubagirl is here? Just to tick her off?
