mbhs........

Do you know if Natalee communicated with JVS via Email before the trip?

[Sleeks]

GOOD MORNING ALL  I was wondering the same thing Loren was thinking.

Nope. I'd guess not, but that's not something I know. Only her best friends would know that kind of thing.

[Shellbell]

ShellBell- can you just sum up what goes on in the tape after you see it please?  And Friend of Monkeys- Unless they find Nat alive, i think that family is done....around the island that is....Unless in some miraculous way, they can clear their names

We like to aanounce it so people on here that are around their TV can watch it.

Theory that Nat did go on the boat.  But Steve does not have enough info to be kept lon (Journalist on Fox) speculation.
If they let him go we could find out a lot.

[HannieC]

my sense of this is that without a body there is no case? Is Dutch law inclined to free people where the body cannot be found?

Only if there is no evidence, there were before convictions without a body in Holland but then the evidence pointed that the supect(s) had something to do with a murder. If there is in fact a murder commited!

mbhs05,

first off, i want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with your community, this could happen to anyone.


i was just curious of a few things:

how much did joran interact with other MB students?

i believe that rumors of natalees running away are false, but did these rumors stem from some incident or are they just complete fabrication?

have you heard that natalees computer from home has been taken and searched to see if she had any contact with joran or other boys before going to aruba?

thanks.........and again....thoughts and prayers

 I'm having a hard time trying to figure out why she would go with a "local" if she didn't know something about him beforehand.

He is in court right now.  But the journalist on Fox said that the talk of the island (he talked to Steves ex wife) is that they are going to let him go because they dont have enough evidence.

<<The question was why would "Jug" Twitty conclude and express on two cable networks that van der Sloot senior is a slimeball chicken who "turns his stomach" on on the basis of one meeting in the middle of the night that became confrontational and had to be broken up by police who had accompanied the Alabama delegation to the VDS residence. One of the Alabama participants said of their conversation that night with Joran, "We basically interrogated him." No warrant, no court order, and some foreigners are "interrogating" somebody in their own front yard. Setting aside questions of etiquette, this was a grave error. They contaminated the investigation by showing their hand to one of the prime suspects and his legally trained father. The police should not have let it happen and the Alabmans should have restrained themselves and gotten the formal legal process going instead. Finding, identifying, and reporting Joran to police was enough at that point. Of course they did not know at the time how big a problem they had. In retrospect that encounter should have been handles differently. Personally, I think "jug" should not have personalized this either. I suspect van der Sloot is having a hard time separating the professional from the personal. His job, and the life of his eldest son hang in the balance. So the question was what factor's led "Jug" to judge so harshly a person known to be decent and upstanding in his own context on Aruba. There has been plenty of time to get dirt on father VDS and there is precious little that is not in the realm of speculation. One explanation is culture.>>


1) Missing girl... person last seen with her ID'd... and the proper thing to do is to let that hot lead sit there for... 24 hours?  48 hours?  That's preposterous.

2) The idea that the family's 1 AM visit is what made PVDS aware of the trouble his son was in is naive.

3) PVDS's professional stature doesn't hang in the balance.  It's finished.

Alana can answer that a little better, but from what I've heard he was seen around them a lot, but didn't actually interact very often. But a lot of people could identify him as being in the casino and places they were.

Complete fabrictaion.

Haven't heard about that. I know that Joran's has been taken.

[friend of monkeys]

Is that why she hasnt been around much.  Bless her heart.

[no x it]

The fact that the presiding judge has not allowed VanDerSloot to see his son is really idicative of some sort of theory of conspiracy by the LE. His mother was allowed though... Interesting. Could be he might be the next to be detained.

That Aruban LE is going after part of its own judiciary is strong evidence of their seriousness.  We shouldn't be rattling sabres at them, but supporting them.  This has got to be gut-churning for Arubans, watching your government turn on itself.

I know she hung out with him a lot during the trip. And I can see that making him trustworthy in her eyes.
