Yes, looks like you're correct.

O/T

The body of Amber Dubois was found yesterday in a remote area near Pala Casino, on the Pala Indian reservation near Temecula, CA.

The name of the road she was found on is AROUBA RD

Klaas

I am only guessing but maybe the meaning behind the word Aruba/Arouba has something to do with defining the people who originally inhabited an area.

Aruba: History

History and Culture


The first people to inhabit the island were a nation of Arawak Indians called the Caiquetios who migrated north from the Orinoco Basin in South America and settled here approximately 2,000 years ago. Remnants of their culture can still be found at a number of different sites around the island: pottery, earthenware, and other artefacts at the Archeological Museum in Oranjestad and at the Historical Museum of Aruba at Fort Zoutman and William III Tower; and cave drawings and petroglyphs in the Fontein and Guadiriki Caves and at Arikok National Park.

"Press is not complying with the understanding to make pictures accidents'

March 8, 2010, 13:12 (GMT -04:00)

ORANGE CITY - Freelance photographers and journalists do not respect an agreement on publishing pictures of accidents. An agreement on this is signed by both press and police.

Police spokesman Papito Comenencia said this in an emotional reaction to the publication of pictures of the last major accident has occurred Saturday at Balashi. "If their mother had been lying, then they had no pictures." Comenencia According to the press and the police have in the past a signed agreement outlining what is and is not allowed during the performance of police services and care after a serious accident . This agreement would also have agreed that publishing the explicit photos of an accident is unacceptable. The emergence in recent years of new media on paper and online, are regular pictures in the local press published close to and often far beyond the borders of the decent went. "Recently, many photographers have been added, to which multi-media delivery. It is these people who do not know that there is agreement and that every time those horrific pictures, "said the spokesman. He claims however that he the photographers and the media that publish those photos, can not tackle. "Only if I can do hand out fines or imprison people can do, anything I can do about it."

Family
Last Saturday eight photographers were actively excluded from the spot where the accident had occurred. Still photographers managed in order to take pictures of the three victims. The names of the victims were almost immediately announced. "Move yourself into the family, which in a way, albeit through the radio or Internet or Blackberry learn that their relatives died. If these people at that moment in the car, that can lead to new injuries. "Comenencia says some journalists that he explicitly asked not to publish photos with the victims and men are similar names of the victims themselves account. "But they still have the information disseminated. We are now tougher action against them. "

Do not consistently
The fact is that the police themselves it is not always act consistently. The spokesman suspects fellow officers, but ambulance staff, its pictures of accidents that they sell to the press. "Sometimes I see a picture which I think someone from the press never so close could be. We can not prove it just yet. "
Today, local press published a photo of an injured driver, who this weekend against a police motorcycle was hit. There are pictures to see where he is escorted handcuffed by officers. But there is also a picture to see which are still bleeding head is held so that he could be put in the picture. "The posting photos of suspects is best. It is not intended that the main agents of a suspect for the picture holds. That we therefore investigate, "said Comenencia. He also said to be looking for his copy of the signed agreement with the press.

No Mystery, Just No Justice, For Natalee Holloway, Neighbor

For MEB always. Remember to be careful who you hang out with, and "that what we do in the secret chamber, some day, we shout from the rooftop, ...and that every day makes or unmakes character." Oscar Wilde

"The mills of God's justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small." Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie.

http://specials.msn.com/A-List/Natalee-Holloway.aspx?cp-searchtext=Natalee%20Holloway

I never met Natalee Holloway, the Mountain Brook girl who disappeared on a senior trip to Aruba, although she lived in Bo Nolan's old house, just up the street from Butch on Shambley Drive, one up from Northcote.

On my nocturnal walks through the old neighborhood when I was visiting Butch over the years, and then saying goodbye, there seemed something sad about Bo's old house.

It was kind of lifeless looking somehow, which bothered me, as I had fond memories of playing fort in Bo's backyard with him and his sister Lynn, with the Tyndals dogs up the street, and football with Porter Benton, kind of an adopted member of the Moricans of Northcote, and the nice older lady across the street I used to cut the grass for, who gave me lemonade when I was done, and talked about her long dead husband and their grown children, and life, and literature, and the European history she taught before she retired.

She said the Dutch were our friends, because of Arnhem, the Bridge too Far, for when Alabama boys liberated Eindhoven.

Nice memories, but one sad house for the Holloways.

I didn't make the conncection to Natalee Holloway, until someone said"Holloways," on a not so nocturnal walk.

"The Holloways." And then I thought of Frank from Athens.

Natalee Holloway has not yet received justice for her attempted rape, kidnapping, and aggravated manslaughter while on a field trip to Aruba, and that is what happened, those crimes, to which van der Sloot has confessed more than once.

Why do I know this is true on a more personal level, his guilt, that he himself is obviously trying to expiate?

When I was in Philadelphia, I went to Mackinzie's in Malvern, to watch the Alabama-Georgia game, the one that we lost, barely.

There was a guy there named Frank from Athens, rooting for Georgia.

Frank went to UGA in Athens, of course, a between the hedges kind of guy, a bulldog through and through.

We Southerners in Northland, or anwhere really, tend to stick together, so we watched the game with each other, and over the next several years, hung out enough to get to know each other pretty well, partly because when I told him where I was from, he immediately said,

"Do you know the Holloway's."

I was like,"Know, do you?"

Frank was a private detective, who occasionally appears on the Dr. Phil Show, demonstrating his job to film people trying to scam worker's comp insurance, catching them move refrigerators while claiming to be unable to work etc... .

Someone tried to scam my mother that way once, so I am totally on his side of that universe.

In any event, Frank had been hired at one point to investigate the Holloway case by the family, and was outraged at the lack of justice in this matter. When he told me what he found, I was too.

Frank interviewed bartenders and wait staff in Aruba, off the record of course, and van der Sloot, who was always the primary suspect, and has confessed, twice, had the following well documented modus operandi.

There is no mystery in the Natalee Holloway case, just no justice for an Alabamian in Aruba, or from the Dutch government to which Aruba is beholden.

I thought the Dutch were our allies?

Basically, van der Sloot trolled tourist bars, watching all the pretty girls, gradually finding out when they were leaving.

He tipped the bartender very well, the night or two before they were leaving, in order to get access to their drinks.

After drugging, and then raping the girls, his motif was that the girls would be confused from the drug, unsure of what had happened, and just really, really just wanting to go home to Mom, and not be embarrassed, which makes van der Sloot a cold blooded serial rapist: period.

Frank told me he stood on that beach, and you could see it all.

van der Sloot went to the well one time too many, and OD'd someone, finally.

His friends helped him hide the body to avoid the initial search,and then, he just walked her out to the sandbar, and cast her into the sea.

Why the Aruba and Dutch authorities are protecting a confessed. more than once, a confessed scumbag serial rapist and manslaughterer is beyond me, just as I have never understood why Federal or Alabama authorities don't lay murder charges agaisnt him, if the Ducth won't, put a bounty on his head, and drag him back to Alabama to get the attempted rape, kidnapping, and manslaughter charges he deserves, before he hurts anyone else, and to give the Holloway family justice, finally.

There is no mystery in the Natalee Holloway case, just no justice for an Alabamian in Aruba. Maybe Americans aren't welcome there, and should stop taking cruise ships there?

van der Sloot confessed more than once, so there is not mystery in Aruba, just no justice for a grieving family in Alabama.

Frank from Athens the Private Detective grieved over not being able to do anything more for the Holloways in the case that a detective wants to really solve, as he knew that justice delayed is justice denied, especially for Beth Holloway, who he found to be so gracious, even as she grieved in the incomprehensible fashion felt by those who have lost a child, an event so horrible that we don't even have a word, like widow or widower, to describe the unspeakable grief in the English language.

May the Holloways finally get their justice from the lack of mystery, in this case that it not be totally denied by any more delay in accepting the repeated, repeated confessions, was and is Frank's dearest wish, as it is for all those who had the experince of ever living in Mountain Brook.

I wouldn't ever advise any American to go to Aruba or the Netherlands again until that happens, personally.

Look at the picture in the link below, and ask yourself, why no justice for an Alabamian in Aruba from the Netherlands, who are supposed to be our friends, for the boys who liberated Eindhoven, and kept, and keep, the Russians at bay?

Walter Franken and his children come to

March 8, 2010, 13:10 (GMT -04:00)

ORANGE CITY - The famous drag racer Walter Randolf Franken (47) and his two children Randolf Jose Franken (19) and Lorraine Leonice Franken (12) were killed this weekend in a traffic accident. When the accident hit two others wounded.

The incident took place in the night from Saturday to Sunday. On the road from Oranjestad to San Nicolas, at Rooi Barcadera near the bar Young Fellow, came two vehicles collided.

The driver and a passenger of the other car were injured and an ambulance had to be transported to the hospital. Their condition is stable, police said.

No surprise that the driver and passenger of the other car are not named....only the deceased are in print and reportedly had a blowout......don't they usually happen on highways?   Is there a highway on that rock?

 

I know what you mean 2NJ.  I still don't get it.  Maybe the accident WAS unavoidable, but to blood test the deceased driver at the scene; and not the other driver?  Not necessary?  To investigate the accident properly I would think you would test both drivers.  The article I posted where the prosecutor stated it wasn't necessary just stinks to me.  I can't help but wonder if this would have been the case with "any" other driver.

I read the papers (or attempt to anyway  ) and this is not the norm!  Plus there is this supposed "crack down" on speeding drivers right now in Aruba.  Every report I've read and the pictures of the results indicate that the white car was hit at a high rate of speed, but they also say that the white car was driving at a normal rate of speed.  One early report I read said that the skid marks of the black car indicated it was traveling at a high rate of speed too. 

Even if the white car indeed had a blow out and entered the oncoming lane, if the other driver was impaired and that prevented a response that could have lessened the impact of the crash they should bear some responsibility in my opinion. 

Three people died!  All too young!  A 12 year old little girl!

How much of ALE's annual budget is going to investigate Joran's stories?

....Are the good citizens of Aruba outraged about it?


I promised myself not to get involved in any Natalee discussions, and I've held to that promise, but having just come back from Aruba after a month's stay, I felt I wanted to answer your question, Pat. The answer is they are totally disgusted. Before I get the same rhetoric that I got here time and again, no ~ I don't know every single local that lives on the island, but in the last 17 years, I've been lucky enough to get to know and love quite a few that are like family to me.

In the beginning of this case Joran had support because Arubans couldn't believe that he could have been involved in Natalee's disappearance. That's not the way it is anymore... and, that support's gone because he's told so many lies and so many stories. The doubters are no longer doubting that he's involved in Natalee's disappearance. He's despised, not wanted on the island, and his own worse enemy. Several told me "he better watch his back."

I was there when Paul died, and I felt sad for him. I read here that the "island was in mourning." Interesting, because I didn't experience or see that. I'm sure that family and friends were indeed mourning, but just like my Mom's death that occurred a few days ago, life went on and it was business as usual. Nothing stopped, it was just another day that G-d decided to call someone home. Unfortunately, because of Joran, many people had unkind things to say because they're angry. Karma's always talked about here on the board, and karma was talked about at Paul's death... sad, to say the least.

It's the opinion of many that this case although cold, won't be closed any time soon; that Joran remains and will remain the prime suspect.

The people of Aruba ARE good people ~ kind, warm, caring and have taken lots of hits because of not only how this case went down, but because Joran continues to "stick it to everyone," and they're sick and tired of his shit. He may be on island now so I've read, but I can tell you in no uncertain terms that if he is, he isn't welcome, and if he is, it's not warm and cozy for him, and I don't care what anyone says to the contrary... I know for a fact that this is the way it is because I heard it from many horse's mouths... first hand!

There was much talk on the beach between us timesharers when Paul died because it brought this case to light once again. I can tell you in no uncertain terms that he had not one supporter. These people have followed the case from the moment it happened because, like for me, it happened on an island we love. The consensus was that ultimately, although it may take a lot more years than any of us like, the truth will come out... and Joran will ultimately be made to pay the price for his involvement in Natalee's disappearance. Note that I said disappearance and not death ~ although we all believe she was dead before the sun rose the next day.

I'm not going to argue with anyone nor do I intend to get into a diatribe with anyone. What I've said is real... it's what locals are saying, and how people feel ~ period!

And, for anyone who cares, Aruba is alive and well... the crowds at the new mall reminded me of Times Square. In fact, it was so crowded that I went only one night, and decided that it was something I didn't want to do again. Like any other place on the planet, the economy isn't what it should be so people are eating out less, but there's certainly no lack of tourists. My timeshare was 96% occupied. So, for the naysayers, not to worry.... Aruba's not going down the tubes. It's a fantastic island, and a wonderful place to vacation. It was wonderful visiting my second home, and I'm counting the days until I go back.
