Natalee Holloway
Topics:Here's a quick start for today's information on Natalee Holloway's disappearance:
Via Riehl World View - A site is hosting a great many news videos
of reports in the Holloway case. You can find one on CNN's reporting of Paulus v d Sloot's now infamous scoot away from
reporters.
You can also find an update on the Aruba beheading and Natalee info at RWW (It seems that Aruba just might not be so crime free as they like to portray):
"A reliable source on the island of Aruba has confirmed reports of a recent murder / decapitation, and also confirmed reports of another murder currently under investigation in Aruba. A third report regarding a possible new missing person report filed today has not been confirmed at this time.
Additionally, sources close to the Natalee Holloway investigation have indicated to me that there appear to be serious problems developing in establishing a consistent time lime of events surrounding Natalee's disappearance. Problems stem from conflicts among stories by those being questioned, a growing list which now includes Father of Joran v d Sloot, Paulus v d Sloot.
It's possible that the time line as presented by the elder vd Sloot does not fit with other knowable facts in the case, resulting in his having been brought back for additional questioning."

Scared Monkeys provides a refresher on Arubian law:
Their system is much different than that in the United States. A prisoner is guilty until proven innocent. However, if the prosecution puts too much information out to the public over the case, the judge has the right to throw out the charges since the prosecution has been seen to unfairly treat the prisoner.
So as the prosecutors in the United States tend to release all of the information to the public that it can, the opposite is true in Aruba. Thus, many things positively may be happening in Aruba that we do not know about. If they were released to the public, the suspects could walk free. So their system requires a level of patience that Americans have been conditioned not to have.

Meanwhile, Fox reports that Aruba is worrying about it's image, and to that I suggest that they ought to be worried about it. Find Natalee!

I think it all makes sense (Dans version)- that the boys had accidentally killed Natalee by way of: some sort of drug slipped into her drink. They would have nothing to gain by murdering this young girl, purposely. They had other things on their minds...all or maybe just Vandersloot. I believe they will never find her body. The boys were scared and called Mr. Vander Sloot (Jorans' Father) who then tried to ressitate the young woman...was unable to- he freaks out and diposes of her body by way of..."feeding her to the sharks." ( sorry to be so blunt) The reality of this all is this...We have a mother, and father who will never have closier on what happened to their daughter. They will go to bed every night and lay awake wondering what happened to her baby. The grief I will tell you, will never diminish. whether or not the Vandersloots and their friends will be prosecuted, remains to be seen. nevertheless...There is a young beautiful girl who vanished. We will never know the truth about her death and the circumstances surrounding it. The question still remains..."what happened to Natalee Holloway?"
