Natalee Holloway Morning Update, May 20th, 2005
June 20th, 2005 by Scared Monkeys -->
Very little happened over night that was reported. Joran Van der Sloots father was questioned for two hours, and then sent home.

This is a refresher for those who do not know Dutch and Aruban law. Their system is much different than that in the United States. A prisoner is guilty until proven innocent. However, if the prosecution puts too much information out to the public over the case, the judge has the right to throw out the charges since the prosecution has been seen to unfairly treat the prisoner.

So as the prosecutors in the United States tend to release all of the information to the public that it can, the opposite is true in Aruba. Thus, many things positively may be happening in Aruba that we do not know about. If they were released to the public, the suspects could walk free. So their system requires a level of patience that Americans have been conditioned not to have.

Please keep this in mind as the case progresses.

He explaines it a lot better then me, I`m sorry but my english is`nt that good.

LOL, HannieC, your English is very good - much better than my Dutch!!

Maybe I should save these quotes to a file so I can paste them up here as needed.

""It is indeed true: I'm back on an airplane. We are taking the show back "on the road" to Aruba. As you read this, I am headed south. Aruba is only a short distance from Venezuela — so the flight is long (including a change of planes.)""

This means we'll probably have a few more late night specials from FOX.

I actually like their news and performance, a lot better than CNN, who seems to put this and every other disappearance on the backburner...

you would think so but since noone is saying anything it's hard to tell....


just thinking about the whole timeline thing, does anyone else remember reading/hearing about mr vds being at mcdonald's at 3am when Natalee went missing....i find that very weird..

WV lady, arubagirl said that mcdonalds closes at 1 am there..just a rumor about the 3 am thingy

[Another K in Texas]

DJ. glad to see you.  Thought maybe you were having that baby.

[wvlady]

nikki

when i started to read what they were all thinking, it seemed to me that they all are talking about the same type of location

Fox has to boost their ratings with sensationalism so that they can spread the Bush propanda effectively.

Back to the rumor that Lorenzo van Rijn is Paulus vdS's illegitimate son.... I believe the vdS family has only been in Aruba for about 10 years or so. So he and van Rijn's mother would have had to hook up in the Netherlands or wherever Paulus vdS was before he came to Aruba.

[HannieC]

Thanx Georgia, ( dank je wel );dutch for thanks

But it`s still difficult to expres myself in english but i`ll do my best

[nikkibnurse]

I mean, usually psychics dont appeal to me..HOWEVER, at this point i would exhaust all avenues..and there are ALOT od psychics that work closely with poice and FBI agents..i mean, hell, anything is worth a try!!!! Right??

[wvlady]

hmmm..that interesting

[Another K in Texas]

I would guess perhaps he might have visited Aruba before moving there--most people would.

[wvlady]

i think it would def be worth a try

A few coments:
Too much criticism and fabrication has occurred against Natalee  WHO IS THE VICTIM in this matter and her parents.
When you pay to go to another country and support their economy with your tourist dollars, you are not a "guest".  Guests do not pay anything and receive hospitality as a priority in most cultures in the world.  As a paying tourist, you have some right to demand accountability from the government and those in charge of safety.
Van der sloot family should have been more helpful after learning about Natalee's disappearance if they were innocent.  Consider what you would do if your son were with a foreign girl for the evening and she didn't make it back to the hotel and her family flew into your country looking for her.  Would you not be spending all of your time helping them?  Wouldn't your innocent son be helping in every way he could from the very first day?  They are either slime or they are guilty!

 I think we know precious little about what transpired between the van der Sloots and the Twittys that turned "jug's" stomach and set up such a personal animus.  Mr. van der Sloot is not allowed to talk.  Mom has stopped talking, Joran can't talk.  lets not demonize and personalize until we know the facts.

Great post. Couldn't agree with you more, on every point. Our travel agent has very kindly (and without penalty) rerouted our planned trip to Aruba to another destination.  
And yes, if my son had been with a foreign girl who vanished under similar circumstances, we would be leading the search.

I spent much time going through those tickle profiles.  Other than axeman and the pedophile, they really seem like nice kids--including Joran....

AK, I thought so too... but even axeman may not be so bad.  His site gave me the impression that he has an interest in the arts - photography, drama and a focus on costume/makeup.  Some of his 'stranger' pics looked to me like shots of stage performances & film productions.

Now just waiting on the word out of Mountain Brook. When does fox arrive there?

Paging Geraldo where is his next destination?

[nikkibnurse]

My sis lives in Alabama..about 5 miles or so from mountain brook..my parents are going there this weekend....i'll have her pick up a handful of bracelets, and if anyone wants one, lemme know..

wonder if they are charging for them? You know, to raise money for Nat's parents?

Greta seems to like Aruba, I hope she gets time to aside of work to enjoy the Arubian hospitality.
