Natalee Case Discussion #684 10/3 - 10/7/2007

October 4, 2007 - Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Buckhead, Atlanta GA - 7:00 pm

Monkeys at Beth's "Loving Natalee" signing

There were 30 +/- folks there - about as many chairs available. Four monkeys: msmarple, SunFreak, Shadow, and yapperz, plus Mr. yapperz. We had a dozen yellow roses in a lead crystal vase ready for her, on the signing table, before she arrived. We signed a card for her that featured a monkey on the front ... (you just don't see those every day).

One of the folks there was a man who was talking to "Linda" via cell phone when Beth got The Call - Linda was in the car with Beth; this is mentioned in the book.

Beth looked great (but we already knew that). When she realized monkeys were in the house, she got worried because she was wearing the same outfit that she wore in NY.

She took a dozen or so questions. What I remember most:

* Aruba asked the FBI for nothing, so they could do nothing.

* The "four Dutch investigators" she has talked to are great; "like the FBI" ...

* She sees no avenue in terms of international law/court.

* She thinks that the negative people (my term) must be from Aruba.

* She has spoken in 20 states to <?> thousands of students.

* The book is intended to reach a greater mass of people.

* A student at Auburn is working with the foundation - I think she said they had gotten two one-year grants - gathering information from all over the world re. crimes involving travelers. (The information is hard to come by.)

* She started the book in December 2006.

The monkeys had a delightful gathering before the signing. Yap and SunFreak are fun people. Shadow is beautiful and artsy. (msmarple merely trolls for corpses.)

Shadow and Mr. Yap took pictures.

Great photos you guys!  I'm so envious!  I keep hoping Beth will do a book signing here in Southern California!

Evening Monkeys! Just returned from the ATL book signing. masmarples got a bouquet of beautiful yellow roses from the scared monkeys and a card we all signed. Enjoyed meeting msmarples, sunfreak and yapperz. I have photos . . . Klass should I post them here or would you prefer the book thread?

shadow ... yapper ... sunfreak and ... mcmarples   

Thank you so much for sharing.  I am truly envious.

I would be honored to meet up with a Monkey or Monkeys at the Wednesday, October 17, 2007 book signing outside of Seattle.  My hubby is willing to drive me down and ... so is a friend.  A couple days in Seattle is where it is at either way.

Thanks Klass. Mr Yapp has other photos as well. It was a great experience. I was pleased and impressed with the turnout and the questions that were asked. Very nice wrap up of the event msmarple. 

[Anna]

The roses are a wonderful touch and look sooooo nice!

MsMarple:  * A student at Auburn is working with the foundation - I think she said they had gotten two one-year grants - gathering information from all over the world re. crimes involving travelers. (The information is hard to come by.)

So I am thinking you found out how to get the info to this student about the Murder and Crime Thread?

I believe it is solidly documented well enough to be used for academic purposes.  You have a link for every post.

[klaasend]

I've copied all the photos and comments from Yap and msmarple to the book thread so they will be all in one place.

Thanks so much! 

[Anna]

It looks like a very successful book signing and the photos are great!

Good job, all who attended!

Anna - I didn't want to overtake the session (any more than I already had - I asked several questions). But I am going to pursue that. Beth said that the blogs were about the only resource - "information is hard to come by" in most countries.

Not sure how I'm going to pursue it, but I will. I wish Paul Reynolds would get in here.

Same guy that reported on the Sloot wiretaps, no?

Possibly some very bad news, but will wait for more context...reports. Odd platform to have this info released.

Thanks for the update MsMarple! God bless you all for giving Beth such a warm welcome.

This sounds hopeful:

I am now thinking that Greta must have some nic on that scary board, I mean Rita did, and we all know what she turned out to be, so perhaps Greta has been posting away all this time and we just did not know it.

Maybe she is Robot or Oldfart, heck maybe she is Klassend herself!

 

So Medley thinks Rita Cosby had a nick and was posting at SM?  She may have had a nick, I don't know but if she did I don't know who she was.

Medley thinks Greta's nick could be Oldfart, Robot or Klaasend, LOLOLOL

Do you know if there are any book signings in Louisiana?

Igsigs - remember how KLPD/ALE has already said they will decide in November whether to bring the case to court?  My guess is that's what was said.  Either bring the case to court or close the case.  Nothing new really.

I thought Robots was Bill O'Reilly???

Thanks Klaas. Dallas isn't too awfully far away from where I live, I may be able to make one of those.

I hope Medley learns the difference in "incite" and "insight" before she writes that book of hers exposing the reward money or whatever her latest delusion is.

OK, thanks. I was kinda thinking the same thing. I did ask J45 for clarification, FWIW.

There may be contact information on the Foundation website.  Certainly I would not expect Beth to be taking them notes for us, lol, but do think the one working on the crimes in foreign countries would be thrilled to find the M&C thread.

Aruba is sort of a jackpot of crime!  And to think we started out just to prove there was no truth in the claim of one murder in the last twenty years!  Did we ever!

From Greta's blog - repost:

Did Beth Sneak Natalee out of Aruba on a Plane? What Do You Think? Read This Email…by Greta Van Susteren

Check out this comment I just received here on www.GretaWire.com…it is not an unusual one…I have received other ones with essentially the same content. What do you think? Post your comment here.

Greta,

The reason the police won’t help the “family”. Is because they know now that the “family” are the ones that orchestrated Natalee’s disappearance from the private airport on one of McWayne’s private aircraft. They have witnesses.

Just think Greta, soon you will be able to interview Beth from jail. Won’t that be a ratings getter!

Note:  McWane is misspelled.  Just like poster "sheranaway" at RU always misspells it
