If there are 2 different areas with fisherman's huts, Arlene must know that, and that the huts have different construction.
She must know the huts near the Marriott, which are the ones in question regarding the stolen fish trap, have sides, roofs and doors.
Since she has such an 'in' with the police and the prosecution, she must also know that the fishermen reported the stolen items to the police that same morning that they were discovered missing, even if the police later claim there were no reports.
So, her giving out her lies as the supposed 'Aruba truth' must benefit her employers the Strategic Communications Task Force in some way, if we just follow the money. The conclusion I draw is Arlene and the SCTF do not want Natalee's body found. If Aruba thinks there has been a media circus before, just wait until a fish trap is hauled up with a body inside. Aruba will explode with the publicity. Everyone's stomach will be turned, even the most hard-core tourists.
Somehow, she must think her disinformation can deflect Tim Miller and TES away from the deep water off the area of the fishermen's huts and the launch ramp.
That big metal fish trap weighted down with rocks is not going to float away, either. I found the things said on "The Lineup" by Arlene and the anchorwoman about the fish trap being a fish 'net', and being bouyed up with floats so it could float away, and that it was not possible to put a body in it, as being very strange things to say.
Arlene is a pig, a disgusting bimbo defense attorney and a whining teenager.
She is disgraceful.
