Hi libsl. Yes, there has been some discussion that there is possibly a bigger operation involved. For example, how is it that Joran has a line of credit at the casinos, when he is too young to even be in them? Something strange seems to be going on.
Of course, this has prompted wild speculation about everything from Saudi princes to snuff films in Venezuela. And there is very little rock solid/verifiable information available to form a likely hypothesis. There are bits of information, but they equate to about 57 pieces of a 1,000-piece puzzle . . .
However, it seems that Beth is at the point of discussing what she has discovered in this mess. They have been leaking a little information here and there, but have been mostly quiet in order to preserve the investigation and their relationship with the prosecutor. Yet, now that the suspects are out of custody, it seems that the family is ready to divulge what they know.
I don't think I blame the family. They have virtually been crapped on. I wonder if ANYONE in the so called Aruban/Dutch UNjustice system has ever been honest with Beth, Dave or Jug? I think they have been playing games since day one.
