Darn straight we would be just as worried about a nice black American girl disappearing under the same circumstances. And when the young freshman MALE disappeared from UCLA's dorms, he got lots of attention. When a good kid, a student with a nice family, disappears, it is news. When you have one HECK of a strong mother, like Natalee was blessed to have, that is going to stay in the news.
Not to mention some inaccuracies such as PVDS is not a prominent judge...he is s judge in training. And they are not that well off. Just wannabe's in my opinion. It's a BS article in my opinion.
