I can't help wonder exactly what prompted Beth and Jug to call the FBI immediately upon learning that Natalee didn't get back to the hotel or board the plane. Any thoughts?
My bet is that just as Beth has always said, she immediately thought that Natalee was most likely kidnapped, and they know the FBI has tremendous expertise and experience in kidnapping cases. There is nobody better to turn to, and time would have been extremely crucial.
I don't think that it was Beth or Jug who actually contacted the FBI unless and it could be that Jug is friends with the FBI. It appears that the Twittys have some friends and/or some associates in powerful places or has friends that have friends and/or some associates in powerful places. That Sunday was Father's Day iirc.
U.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Vestavia Hills, said Saturday there were circumstances surrounding Holloway's disappearance that warranted the FBI being heavily involved. He declined to give details.
"The circumstances were disturbing," said Bachus, who formally requested the FBI's involvement. "I can't get into it, but it's something the family is aware of. There was an immediate recognition that this was not simply a teen who wandered off."
