Then the Dutch should not be upset when in a few years, after the "heat" dies down, one, or all of the suspects are grabbed off the street, held incommunicado until they confess and end up sleeping with the fish.

New technology and old-fashioned detective work enabled Natalee Holloway's family to slap the main suspect in her Aruba disappearance with legal papers in New York. "We'd been monitoring the blogs, Web sites and Internet chatter, and it all reached a crescendo Wednesday," he said. New York law allows one party to serve another with a lawsuit, even if none of them lives here — giving Natalee's parents an opportunity to force the teen to answer questions under oath and to pay, at least financially, for his alleged involvement in their daughter's disappearance.
Balber drew up a complaint against Joran, 18, and his father, who, they charge, enabled the wild child to act on his violent tendencies. Balber and lawyer John Q. Kelly then hired PI's to find the van der Sloots......Paulus was already in town, staying at the Lucerne Hotel, and his son was flying in Thursday afternoon.
They filed the civil suit, which charges Joran van der Sloot with sexually assaulting 18-year-old Natalee, on Thursday morning. They had a process server slap Paulus with the papers when he showed up in the hotel lobby at around 1 p.m. The timing was worked out so Paulus couldn't warn his son, who was in the air — unaware that a passenger sitting in front of him was an investigator waiting to serve him.
As the plane landed at Kennedy Airport, the lawyers sent a message to the investigator on his BlackBerry that the suit had been filed. "He served Joran in the aisle of the plane as he was getting ready to get off," Kelly said.

Snort----crime is rare b/c nothing is a crime according to the notoriously ultra-liberal Dutch. In Aruba the legal drinking age is an astounding 16 years---a high school junior can drink all he/she wants on Aruba.
Seventeen-year old suspect Joran van der Sloot----chief suspect in Natalee's disappearance-----at age seventeen had a credit line at every casino on Aruba. Joran was prowling casinos and bars, targeting young tourists---perhaps armed with date rape drugs to assure a score---is also indicative of liberal Dutch permissiveness.
In the Netherlands, life is cheap. Prostitution is considered no big deal as is their penchant for euthanasia on demand, pedophilia, and the Dutch recently legalized infanticide. The violent and sex-saturated Grand Theft Auto video game aimed at kids who are buying it in huge numbers, was also produced in Holland. Aruba is also notorious as a stopping-off point for drug cartels. Natalee Holloway's parents sent her to a place under the erroneous impression that values they prized predominated on Aruba. How wrong they were.
What with its liberal Rube Goldberg justice system, a population with apparently no compunction about lying straight into the TV cameras, Aruba is the personification of Liberal Lies and Deceit Unlimited.
Then the Dutch should not be upset when in a few years, after the "heat" dies down, one, or all of the suspects are grabbed off the street, held incommunicado until they confess and end up sleeping with the fish.
I like the way they work. The Holloways, that is. It won't bring Natalee back, but maybe they can get some justice for her.
Any word on whether tourism is down?
If there is tourism dearth, the Arubans sure woun't admit to it (smirk)
Have you even been to Aruba, and do you know an Arubans? The world is a dangerous place for a naive 18 yo girl. I have three daughters, and I would do everything I could to protect them. My 16 yo made the trip with us to Aruba last year. She didn't go clubbing at 2 in the morning with friends (?). We'll be going back.
Shiite happens when bad people do bad things. The people of Aruba are not all bad. I would definitely not want to let my daughters loose in NYC or LA either. They would surely be accosted (in SF, I would worry more for my sons!).
Bingo. While there was some seriously questionable police work, you have hit the heart of the issue right there.
In the UNITED STAES OF AMERICA, we have people who walk away from crimes every day. They have good lawyers with sleazy morals (they do their job because because they are taught against any moral compass. It's the "law", not liberty.). Joran's dad is one of those. They just happen to live in a different place!
"In Aruba the legal drinking age is an astounding 16 years"
OMG!!!! What's next? 17 year olds in the army?
"The violent and sex-saturated Grand Theft Auto video game aimed at kids who are buying it in huge numbers, was also produced in Holland."
Great game. Most fun I've had on a computer in ages. Anyway, that's utter rubbish: the game was produced in Scotland by Rockstar North. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockstar_North
Thanks for the report Liz.
If you wanna post pics, make them worthwhile!
You are most welcome.
Cut it out, you're giving me hand cramps!
We'll know when they start flooding us with commercials to visit their "island paradise". *big smirk*
I happen to live in holland.
Yes it is very liberal but, excuse me for pointing out,
16 year olds drinking alcohol is not an unknown concept in america.
The difference is they do it in secret in america and in the open in holland. Same counts for softdrugs. I want to bet that the percentage of 16th year olds drinking in holland is the same as that in america. Maybe even lower, since it lacks the added thrill of doing something 'forbidden'.
Also im pretty certain Americans are the number one buyers of Grand Theft Auto. Which makes youre criticism pointless.
Without a market it would neer have been produced.
Saturation media will be one indication of empty hotels.........and bars.......LOL.
It was stated on F&F this morning that non other than I-fav Bo Dietl slapped the papers on him.
As for Aruba....may it sink beneath the waves, it and all its population, along with the tourists that support it.
Slapped papers on? The father or the son?
