Mountain Brook High School graduate Natalee Holloway went missing May 30 during a senior trip to Aruba.

It's Natalee's friends' "story" that bothers me...not the introduction.
"mbhs05 wrote: I'm going to address the following rumors that I have heard, that I CAN tell ya'll are just that-RUMORS."
1. Natalee has not run away before. EVER.
2. Natalee has a good reputation and is considered intelligent by her peers. Peers as in classmates. Which I am one of. Not a close friend. Just to make sure everyone knows that. Again.
3. She was not in contact with these boys before the trip.
4. Sean and Jeremy are HERE, not in Aruba.
5. Sean is the ex, and he dated her in 9TH GRADE.
6. He is not phsycotic. Or overly jealous. Or all the other things that have been implied.
7. THE KIDS AND CHAPERONES HAVE TALKED TO THE FBI. Get off the "they are hiding things" theory...they've already talked to the FBI. Repeat. THEY HAVE ALREADY TALKED TO THE FBI.
8. She has no massive wealth or family connections. "Powerful" connections are through friends of the family.
9. She was not, by all accounts, being promiscuous with Joran, OR dancing or hanging out with just Joran. 10. Dash, Country Moon and I are all MB students. I'm sure anyone else that claims to be is, too. I just haven't talked to them yet. I do not know Country Moon's identity, so no point in asking, ya'll. I wouldn't reveal it anyway. 11. No one from AL has been arrested!!!! Read that again! If there's any other rumor you want to ask about, do it. I'll do my best to tell you if there's anything to it or not.

"I bet they thought he was darn hot.
And I bet they might've even been jealous."
I've had this thought, too. The friends' interview - and really the dark-haired girl on the left - were pretty dismissive about Joran. They claimed they didn't even really speak, including NH, to him. Yet, somehow he knew they were going to C&C's and commented Sundays were dead on the island. The girls said they thought it was strange he showed up later, after that remark.
Has anyone suggested that the three boys had something worked out AFTER the casino but BEFORE C&C's? Seems plausible to me.
Anyone?
I believe you need to get your facts straight..
Deepak Kalpoe is 21
Satish Kalpoe is 19
I'd gone back and edited .. yep the DJ is 25...
You've got company. Me. If it turns out that they did participate in kidnapping/murder, I guess I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm still more inclined to think that although they know something, something that could greatly help the Twittys, they are not guilty of either K or M.
What fight? Where did you hear about that?
I'd say your remarks are possibly realistic, given the raging hormones and the excitement of the trip. And, gifted in every way, perhaps NH was accustomed to males of the species being a bit territorial with her.
Sadly, I suspect that may have had much to do with her demise. I imagine she's the kind of person who wouldn't take any bull from anyone.
For the most part, I have stridently disagreed with your thoughts and remarks on this forum. However, I do want to say several things here. I agree with the above remarks. I think Joran does have something to do with the K/M of Natalee, but I'm open to other scenerios. I also think it's more likely that his father was involved. But I could be wrong.
You've come under a lot of criticism on this forum and I've probably done my share; I honestly don't remember. But I think you've done an admirable job of responding in a very careful and reasoned way to fiery posts directed at you. And for that you have my respect.
Amen.
I was thinking the Kalpoes were innocent, too. However, reading here today, I thought of this.
Joran called Deepak for a ride. This was probably AFTER he met Natalee at the casino; he MUST have talked about her during the ride (home to change? or straight to C&C's?)
Did the Kalpoes go to C&C's? Or did they just pick the couple up there?
What about this fight at C&C's? Was this why the friends left earlier? Were they peeved at her about something? Why would you leave a friend on a night when an early curfew made the best sense?
That would be a conversation at the Internet Cafe? Between Deepak and someone else? Maybe the call he got when Joran asked for a ride?
Did he take Joran home first? Or straight to C&C's? Why hasn't someone asked about this?
You mean you didin't believe Beth when she called the brothers "criminals"? Can't quite understand what prompted her to give them that handle. Any ideas? Anyone?
I like it back here. :-)
But why people on this thread take personal offense to the notion the boys might be innocent is beyond my comprehension. I don't take offense when they tar and feather the boys beyond their reasonable doubt. Go figure..
Sorry, I should have just asked you if it was posted or MSM. BTW, what's TAW? That's A Wrap?
I guess you'll be having your own sprinkler day, so if you're too busy to answer, yo comprende! ;o)
I have seen one of the kalpoes said to be 25 on tv, but after just now looking it up I will admit my error. But speaking of "errors, you might wish to count them in connection with what you wrote"
"All the folks involved (except for VDS father) are under the age of 21 ..."
were you spinning about Deepak (21) and Croes (26), or what?
cutting thru the crap, your statement would have been better if you merely pointed out that JVDS is a minor.....and that all other are well beyond the age of majority in arube.
I don't know what the conversation consisted of...
I got the IMPRESSION it was on the phone.. Deepak talking on the phone to someone...
Other than THAT's where he heard the story about the boys dropping them at the Holiday Inn..
I don't remember them talking about what day or night it was.. It was in the context of the "fact" that the DJ is the one who went to the police with this information (the "story") that he overheard.
