UPDATE on F-16's: According to the official communiqué by the ministry of defense the F-16s will not be stationed on Aruba but on the neighbouring island of Curaçao (about 30 miles away). F-16s will be refueled in the air by a KDC-10 (see photos of the Dutch KDC-10 performing air refueling here) and are expected to land on Monday afternoon. Hasibokos.com has also received additional information with regard to the equipment onboard the F-16s. The main (search) equipment is the Mars-pod (Medium Altitude Reconnaissance System) with either a daylight camera or a targeting pod to record infrared images. The targeting pod which includes a laser target indicator and an infrared camera are mounted under the aircraft. The Mars-pod consists of Recon Optical KS-87B daylight cameras with 12 inch lenses (306mm) that are able to record detailed images. Each camera contains a film cassette with which approximately 600 recordings can be made. The recordings will eventually be sent to specialized photo interpreters of the Mobile Processing Unit based at Volkel to be analyzed.
Latest developments in The Netherlands (Saturday) Hasibokos.com has just learned that on Sunday three F-16's of the Royal air Force of the Netherlands will be sent to Aruba to search for Natalee Holloway. This was reported by the ministry of defence today. The F-16s will fly to Aruba, a trip of about seven thousand kilometres and will be fuelled by a fuel-carrier-airplane with soldiers onboard. The ministry of defence also informed that the F-16s are equipped with special devices, such as infrared cameras that can be used to comb the island and take detailed photographs. Once in Aruba there will the authorities will deliberate to decide wehen and how the F-16s will be set-in.
The Netherlands will initially send a minimum of 6 pilots. Three pilots will fly the F-16s to Aruba, while 3 others who are trained to use to equipment, will be transported commercially by the KLM. According to our information this is done so that the later will arrive refreshed on the island to carry out the various tasks whenever needed. The three other pilots will then leave for Holland (by commercial plane), leaving the 3 specialized pilots behind in Aruba.

Oh, I didn't think you snapped. You reportede what you heard. I do that all the time. :)
But because of finding Shasta today, hope will spring eternal that she is alive. It only benefits the boys being held in custody to think this way.
We have 3 Probable suspects, and I agree... her remains are in the ocean. Just damn.

It was also reported that Natalee was on medication (Beth, I think, said her medication was found in her room with her pasport and belongings). It was never reported what kind of meds she was on, but there could have been a bad (fatal) interaction between rohypnol, alcohol and that medication.
Yes, I am afraid she will never be found and the murderers will walk.

I'll take 'liar number five' for 200.00, alex.
LOL, I hear you!!
Hope the FBI knows who the guy in the middle is. He looks more like a ring leader.
What is 26 year old Steve Croes doing with a bunch of teenagers and an underage girl?
Wait--don't answer that.
I think they let Croes go Waaaaay too soon.
He is a dirtbag.
That's urin's friend jaime, I believe. The columbian.
Absolutely. An allergic reaction, or even vomiting from the alcohol + drugs, and dying from the aspiration. If they've been getting away with these gangbangs for years, they wouldn't know what to do with a dead or dying victim. Call Judge Daddy?
He is a friend of Joran. You can view his profile at myspace.com. He is: aruba one happy eiland. Hope this helps.
You think that is Steve Croes? Some on SM says that it is not. If it is SC, hes got some splaining to do since he has said that he does not know JVDS, Deepak or Satish.
Ah, I have heard that name before.
Sure looks like him to me.
i am just shocked at the suthreners thinking this way, i thought they were always up for people dropping by and they would offer lemonade and cookies etc. We have Cajungirl inviting people to NYs eve parties, and showing them the door well before midnight, carolinamom shutting the tvs off at 9 pm and telling her guests it is past time for bed, and nita locking the gate and turning the lights out and pretending she isn't home? i am shocked and appalled! ; ) yunz are my kinda people : )
