I think it's stratergery. Really I do.

At this point I have absolutely no faith or trust in the authorities in Aruba. What has happened today that made them feel compelled to reveal this "news?" It seems to me that US political types are taking a higher profile in recent days (Lott and Shelby to name two) and that Beth Holloway threatened to go to the media.

I'm viewing this different. I truly think it's stratergery, but I am "HOPING and PRAYING" that evidence has been found.

I think you answered your own question.

I daresay the powers that be in Aruba finally realized that people were going to stop going to Aruba NOT because a girl was killed but because their legal system is so opaque!! [and corrupt?]
