Natalee Case Discussion #826 11/07/09 - 12/09/09

Jen - the soles on the K-Swiss would be rubber.

I noticed that guy next to Paulus looked familiar and he does resemble Brough but I'm thinking he looks too young.  Maybe thinner than I remember Brough?  I'll have to look for my photos.

Wow!  Thanks Klaas.

Your top row, center picture actually (to me) looks quite like the guy in the current pic.

Any chance you would be willing to do a side by side of those two?

IMO, that leaves Joran's shoe(s) sole as still being in the running for that rubber-like object found in the cage.

Sure, give me a few minutes!

Not sure...still hard to tell.  I'd honestly be surprised if it was him:

[klaasend]

The smile and dimples look the same to me or very similar.  If it's Brough he's lost a few pounds and looks younger than he did a few years ago.  That's possible too.

It doesn't look like the same person to me.

[jen3560]

Thanks Klaas.

For me, it's the nose and the "plastic" look to his face that are similar.

[Magnolia]

I am not real good with faces, but it looks like him to me.  The mouth, the lines around the mouth,
the dimples are all the same.  I think the softer hair-do makes him look younger.

Just catching up here, so this may have been addressed already.

Anyone else think the guy with the child in front of him is Brough?

Jen are talking about Paul Brough?  Yes it does look like him to me.

[Blue Moon]

Okay I'm taking off now. Hopefully Jen is well enough to take a look and see what she thinks about this perhaps being the flip flop tomorrow.

Take care everyone.

I think it's certainly possible.

I also believe as you do that jewelry (as well as smaller bone fragments) could be found by doing a proper recovery from beneath that cage.

I believe it would be a "cold day in haites"  before Aruba would ever allow that to happen.  Remember Caps dove down to that location and "They didn't even take the cage".

Looking for something else, came across this.  I'd looked for it when Poentje was in the hokey, but of course I didn't come across it then.

She better lay off the booze.

Personally, I don't think that is Mr. Pink. I think it looks like one of the lawyers we have seen earlier. (I couldn't tell you which one).


Also, I still think the blonde in the pic looks like Renfro. 

[klaasend]

The blonde is definitely NOT Renfro although she does have the same coloring. 

Here's a better photo of that woman where you can see clearly it's not Renfro.  This woman is much prettier and younger than the witch

Last paragraph in the TOURISM section:

The history of tourism in Aruba is a fascinating story: it has accomplished employment for all Arubans, directly or indirectly.  It also has drastically modified the appearance of the island: the big flow of American tourists has led to a far-reaching Americanizing of the culture, which can be felt amongst others in the number and types of restaurants  (fast-food or otherwise) and in the types of places of entertainment. Aruba is being promoted as a honeymoon destination and students have also found their way to Aruba for spending their spring-break or other vacations, where they go all out. That is liable to go wrong now and then, which Aruba has experienced with the case of Natalee Holloway. This young American vanished without a trace in 2005 after a night on the town. The negative publicity for the island that this story brought about has plunged tourism in Aruba into a considerable recession and years later, the effects are still being felt.

Natural Bridge collapsed

And finally, Aruba lost an attraction of world fame, the Natural Bridge, which collapsed on the 2nd of September, 2005.

My thoughts almost exactly!  You were nicer.   

[klaasend]

Speaking of Renfro, just found this one in my archives 

[2NJSons_Mom]

Just to throw my 2 cents in....I don't think the tennis guy is Brough, though I see the similarities some pointed out in features.  I definitely agree with Klaas & TM about the pretty blonde.  I think she's looking past those posing at someone to her right....most certainly not Paulus.
