The only thing that I can actually agree with you on is some of the media. Some do overstep their bounds and state and relay misinfo. It does not make them look good.
Beth said they will buy a house in Aruba if that is what it takes to find her daughter. She is NOT going to leave without Natalee. If she is thinking that far ahead she is obviously determined to see this through. I don't think the Aruba government wants her to stay there, IMO. That can't make them very happy.
I too feel strongly about this case, small as it may be in relation to all the other crazy, horrifying and dangerous things going on in this world.
And though I have a different perspective on it than many here, I think I am just as sympathatic to the Holloway family as anyone else.
I too want to see them get Natalee back, but I think (1) the American media have been infuriatingly irresponsible and are NOT helping, but are harming the investigation; and (2) that the media and the Holloway family may both be barking up the wrong tree.
To focus so obsessively on the Kalpoes and the van der Sloots, and with such vituperation, is, I think, extremely counterproductive. I am the first to say I may be wrong, but based on what I've heard and read, I do not think they murdered Natalee, nor know of her ultimate fate.
Of course I totally understand the Holloway family's anguish, but I hope they will step back for just a short time and try to take a more productive tack on this. If all the intensity of scrutiny now being placed on the Kalpoes and the van der Sloots by the media and the Holloway family were directed into other lines of inquiry, I think they'd have more hope of finding answers. Just my very humble opinion.
And with that very humble opinion, that's all I have time to post for now. Anybody who's responded to me, I'm not ignoring you, I just have to go. Thanks.
