Aaaarrrggghhh!!!

I just lost contact with Top 95 and I can´t get it back on.
If any other arubian on forum now, maybe you can updates us for now?

Teo

Top 95 went down for a bit, but seems to be back now, Teo.  I just reconnected myself...

Me too.. Police has just arrived, they marked a place, the team is now in the water in the dam (squarry?) and they are under water searching.

Though police is there, no one official yet

Teo.
The reporter Randy Maduro said he will contact Top 95 if there is any new development.

This gives me the chills.

Arubans have probably not rushed to LE with tips due to their "what do you want me to do about it?" attitude.

I think this is a very unfair statement....and unnecessary.....

That is unfair.  One person said this and we know from someone else explaining a situation that occured.

You can't stereotype the island of Aruba off of one person!

Re: Steve, if you don't want to be asked about him, don't mention him. Just a thought...

And a very good thought I might say. You make remarks like that and then seem to get on the defensive if one of us asks about it.  So if you don't post things like thatt...we won't ask.  Okey Dokey?

I agree.  I haven't heard this attitude from anyone but JVDS.

Nor I.  Aruba is showing a lot more concern for natalee than we usually do for our missing persons.

I was just wondering if Beth was there.  God my heart aches for her.

Any one know how deep this is?  From a diving perspective, there is deep and then DEEP.

I read that the sea south from Aruba is about 150 meters (450 feet) and at some places 190 meters (570 feet)

Editorial Note: With the increased traffic I would encourage you to stay on topic and possibly limit the conversation to breaking news as you get it from your "sources".
I am only here to help you to keep the information flowing.
Also limit your page refreshes to 1 per minute
This affects all threads and all parts of the site.

Not to be facetious, but would it also help if people stopped quoting quotes that were quoting quotes (i.e., quotes that are more than 2 deep)?
Just a suggestion?  

[bamajo]

i remember now.  yes it is rob from PA.  i bet he will have some insights on his return.

thanks fellow monkeys!!!

Oh my goodness...I would hope someone would have the power to keep her away.....a body that has been in water for  this length of time will be awful...nothing loved ones should see.......I hate if this Natalee....and I hate if it's not

When I was down there (late Jan, 2005) internet connections were pricey and very inconsistent, esp from the hotels.  Mine cut out after 2 days and I spent the rest of the week in computer withdrawal.

[Angiex911dsptchr]

Is this place they are searching.. this quarry near the home. the same place others referred to as the smelly pond??

Our biggest issue is number of connections when you see the CGI error. [/b]

I have been on this forum since the beginning of this tragedy. I have not had nor caused any drama and do not intend to start now.  However I am sure Steve and his family find it "unfair" that he has been forced to be away from them because her overheard a phone call and tried to assist the investigation by reporting it.  I don't think that encourages others to come forth.

I believe my short and cryptic statement was misunderstood.  I was in a conversation late last night here about Caribbean situation and culture.  In that conversation, I mentioned an attitude that appears to be prevalent in the Caribbean and is expressed as "what do you want me to do about it?"  This relates to their position in the middle of the drug producing countries of South America and the drug purchasing countries of North America.  The Caribbean islands are used as stepping stones for these transactions.  I believe a part of the Caribbean attitude is from this position, as well as other cultural factors.  I'm sorry I didn't explain that all at the time and that my comment came off as flippant.
