Stupid question: I suppse this means that text messages can be retrieved?
Good question. Can the actual text messages be retrieved, or just the log of time and date of each call, and the number to which it was sent?
If anything happens to Beth or Jug this countries only income would be drug trafficking.
I liked how the three suspects spent their 10 or 11 days of freedom searching for Natalee. NOT!
The state department needs to put pressure on Aruba to give these suspects polygraph tests. All this crap would be over in 10 minutes.
I doubt that she was kidnapped. Teenagers are normally out of control, now throw in alot of booze and possibly drugs. Natalee did not want to go all the way and things got out of hand.
that she is alive, held by someone who is pimping her out. (you did ask).
"Wellll.....let's see.... Aruba has had time to search every hut, house, dog house, nook & cranny a few times over to find where she's being kept."
Some of the earlier rumors said she was being moved from house to house.
I would imagine that deep in the bowels of cell phone computer systems, messages are actually logged and can be retreived--but the folks at the store level/and or customer service level don't know how or who to go to for that service.
When I get home
Are you home yet? :)

Interrogate the family? You mean, they know something that they are hiding, that would help them find Natalee? You mean they don't really want her found, so they would have to be interrogated to get the information out of them?
How about: Because they know Natalee better than anyone else? Did she know/ have contact with anyone on the island before she went to Aruba? E-mails, chat rooms, IM before she left? Had she called/ msg'd home while she was in Aruba? If so, did she mention anything unusual? Were there any notes, e-mail addresses, etc. in her luggage, in her purse gathered while she was in Aruba? How much money did she take with her? What medications, if any, did she take? For starters.
The parents can provide valuable information for the investigators. I get the impression that you think questioning the parents has to be an adversarial situation. There are certain to be uncomfortable questions like: Do you know or have reason to think that she was sexually active?; Was there friction in the relationship?; How did she get along with her stepdad.... But these questions and others all go to establishing background and it is stuff that investigators need to know. For all we know, the questions may have been asked & answered. OTOH, we know that her purse isn't in the evidence locker at police HQ, so maybe not.
Care to link up the van der Sloots and the Kalpoe brothers with these people who kidnapped her for revenge reasons against her family?
Context is everything. I was replying to another poster and the point was that there may not be a linkage, referring back to Greta's comments about it possibly was a mistake to put all the eggs in one basket. Please backtrack.
Please ping me also.
So LE could plot strategy with him and help thwart the investigation even more while making it APPEAR legitimate. (That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it)
I agree 100% & concur with your Anne Frank remark too!
Thanks for the updates; we had a lot of lightening yesterday so I wasn't able to follow the thread much.
Per FOX right now: the 3 suspects have now arrived at the back of the court house....in separate cars. We'll know whether they're released or not soon.
I'll be listening from the other room; have to be away from the computer.
This is a MUST-READ about what happens in the bars in the Bahamas. It give you a good idea of how easy it would be for someone to prey on young American girls.
Too much 'fun'?

This would be a good article to post as a separate thread, if anyone wants to do it.
