Guess this Charlie Rat guy is a most welcome guest in Aruba..

probably old news.....

[BTgirl]

Can someone point me to which thread has the clearest copy of the bag picture that was printed in NE?

I've seen various different sizes and versions in different threads, but I'd like to get a really good look at it.

Thanks!

Lawyer: Crime Stoppers official attacked
2006/11


By ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS, Associated Press Writer 49 minutes ago

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The head of a crime tipsters group was attacked by a man with a baseball bat and told to drop a lawsuit against a philanthropist over an unpaid reward, the man‘s attorney said Monday.

Miles, president of Central Ohio Crime Stoppers, didn‘t immediately report the attack because he was embarrassed he didn‘t defend himself better, Nyce said. Police interviewed Miles on Monday.

Miles‘ group sued Philadelphia-area philanthropist Joe Mammana on Nov. 15, seeking up to $131,000 they said he had pledged to Crime Stoppers for information in the slaying of a college student. A 19-year-old man has been charged in the killing.

He also denied any knowledge of an attack on Miles.

Mammana has offered reward money in various high-profile crime cases in several states, as well as in the disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba last year.

Oh, and one more thing. Wasn't Natalee 5'4" or thereabouts? I'm speculating in my own mind whether that could actually be Natalee in that bag, and at one point several months ago I remember doing a little experiment. I curled up into a fetal position and had my husband measure me with a measuring tape. The results were that I would fit into a trash bag (and I don't think he really needed to know that   ). I'm 5 feet tall, but weigh more than Natalee did, so it isn't impossible that she would have fit into the bag.

Yes.  I think someone else of similar stature tried it as well and found it to be entirely possible.

I'm normally a very skeptical person, but something about the clarity of the face in that bag is very spooky.

My thoughts exactly!  And I am one that usually does not "see" what I'm supposed to see.

I was more iffy until I read back and saw that Sleuth had managed to do the same version of the photo a good while back. We know Sleuth and know she wouldn't do anything "funny" with the photo. I'm not implying that anyone else did, but it helps to confirm it to know that Sleuth had already come up with the same thing.

Hi BTgirl

Those bag pics are such a mystery to me.  I used to post with Blonde and Faith when these pics all came about a few months ago.  I had felt it was Natalee, but now I don't think so.  I've had other conversations with people outside this forum,  they don't think its her either.  I did all the steps Blonde did, and came out with pretty much the same picture,  just not as clear.  Think about this....
The space where her head is, I believe someone measured it (bleached black maybe?)  and its 2' wide between those cement corners.  That would make the proportions all wrong.

I've watched that video until I'm blue in the face.  The movement in the bag is a fish.  The face in the bag is too clear and perfect.  I just don't think its her.  

Then again, what ta heck do I know,  I still see 7 legs in that picture of Lorenzo.    just figured its better to stop disagreeing with lalas so she won't need to drink becuase of me! hehe

LOL about Lala's drinking.  
I'm not determined to believe the photo is Natalee, but I'd love to have some explanation about how it can look so much like her. Someone as skeptical as I am finds it too much of a coincidence. Whatever the explanation is, my brain won't be at rest until it's explained.

BTGirl,

I found where Klaasend posted the article.

Besides Sleuth's early capture, I believe Sunfreak2 may have posted her attempt to duplicate...just didn't find it.

[MsVada]

I'm still trying to talk myself into it was a freak miracle sign,  like seeing Jesus face in a piece of bread   .....

I'm guessing this was intending for us....

Those two standing with the monkeys rule sign look like the same two women who were holding the "hello Monkeys" sign we saw several days ago. Anyone else remeber? Who are these people??

Morning Monkeys!  

[2NJSons_Mom]

shadow,

Nice observation....you may be right.  This is that other picture.
