Oh, now that's sad. Prayers for his family.
Who is Trap?
Don't know what keeps the guy hanging on...like Arafat and Castro...just keep hanging on and on. Well, Arafat is gone, thankfully so...now if only Castro and Kennedy could find their way to the exit, how much better of the world would be.
I live in SE Virginia. About 20 years ago, a local guy and gal, home from college for the summer, were out on a date; the car they were in that night was found on the Colonial Parkway near Williamsburg and the James River in an area known for "parking," yet they were gone. No sign/no trace whatsoever of the two. Don't recall exactly what evidence was found in/near the car, however, their scent was traced from the car to the river bank. They disappeared completely...to this day, without a trace. Talk about heartbreaking/tragic for their parents. Unless it has happened to us, none of us can ever truly understand or relate to what parents must go through in circumstances like this. Think of all the parents of those young women that Ted Bundy murdered. Think of Sharon Rocha, now Beth H-T. I cannot imagine the horror, the excruciating hurt and pain they must endure. My heart aches for her and I fear that her daughter, being dead, is gone for good.
Thanks for looking that up.
This morning the two men using the new Layered Voice Analysis technology told FNC that PVDS had exhibited more stress when questioned about a possible kidnapping than about a possible murder/body scenario. Very interesting.
Coupled with what Jug said last night about telling media what they know, and that it will shock American and the world, makes me wonder if Natalee really might have been kidnapped? And possibly, beautiful young girls before her. I don't think there was any money to be made by killing her. But selling her would be profitable. Food for thought.
Wasn't PVDS well aware that he had been rejected for a full judgeship, when he returned from Holland shortly before Natalee disappeared? Even before, his life style could have been causing a financial strain. IIRC, he's been looking for a job. I can't believe PVDS and son could be winning regularly at the casinos. But they could begin their stalking process in them.
Or, maybe Joran and his mates have been making their own spending money all by themselves, after sampling the wares? Food for thought.
Thanks everyone for the prayers and the condolences.
The biggest shocker is that county LE is saying he may have taken his own life. Many people around here including us do not believe this. Both county and state LE are still investigating his death.
Do you have a link for this?
How disgusting! What's WRONG with these young girls today?! They appear to have no sense of decency whatsoever! If that were my daughter, she'd have wished I'd never met her daddy by the time I got finished with her!
First of all, condolences on the loss of your friend.
Some good news...............
Shasta and Dylan Groene found alive in Idaho. Per MSNBC.

May be redundant at this point, but here is an excerpt from the State Department web site:
The Netherlands is primarily a destination and transit country for trafficking of women and girls for the purpose of sexual exploitation; trafficking for labor exploitation exists to a lesser extent.
Reportedly, a significant percentage of the 25,000 individuals engaged in prostitution reportedly are trafficking victims.
THE DUTCH CARIBBEAN AUTONOMOUS REGIONS
Anecdotal reporting suggests that the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba, autonomous regions within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, are transit and destination regions for trafficking of women and children for sexual exploitation.
In Curacao ( and neighboring Aruba ) observers estimate that 500 foreign women are in prostitution, some of whom may have been trafficked.
Visas for Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles are issued by Dutch Embassies following review by Aruban or Netherlands Antilles authorities. Visa controls were reportedly tightened in 2004.
Also in 2004, the Dutch government provided 100,000 Euros to an IOM program focused on awareness raising, information dissemination and regional cooperation
targeting officials from the Dutch Caribbean.

These children were found in the same town from which they disappeared over one month ago. Somehow someone kept them hidden for all this time. Maybe we can still have hope about Natalee? Miracles do happen.
True! Most families would not have the choice of staying a week. After their vacation time was used up there would be the need for their services on their jobs; else the company finds out they really can do without them.
Also to have the 'search team' come in to aid the search is a huge benefit offered to them.
Yes, there is an OFF change that Natalee did fall asleep on the beach...someone came by and nabbed her..and is being held in a private residence somewhere.
But there's a greater chance of it snowing in hell..
