Beth sounded quite firm saying "kidnapped" instead of something else. Sounds like she wants us all to know something.

Trough her explanation just now of when kidnapped hit her does not make me think she wants us all to know something.
Now if she explains something more, something else she may have found out after this then perhaps I may think that.
Did she also mean to tell us something with regard to the dollar bills? I know there were still some left in Natalee's wallet back at the hotel, but perhaps she had a roll of them in her pocket at C&C's? Might they show up on a beach somewhere? If someone found them, would they just pocket them, or notify police?
Has Anita Van der Sloot ever been officially interrogated? I would want to know if, when she returned from Holland, anything was different at her house. Anything missing, like a bedspread or a rug (to roll up the body in)?
During Greta's in- house visit with the Sloots, I noticed a place on the wall where it looked like some pictures were missing. There were patches of the wallpaper, in a frame-shape, that were lighter than the paper. It could be seen on the video to the left of Mrs. Sloot on the wall in background. If a struggle took place there with Natalee and Sloot, pictures may have been knocked off the wall.
OK--enough of my bright ideas for tonight. Feel free to shoot them down. I won't be offended.
Welcome to Free Republic
VAN SUSTEREN: During the time that you were talking to Beth at the gas station, did the discussion of that phone call come up again?
C. CROES: Yes, it did.
VAN SUSTEREN: After you and Beth listened to that phone call several times and hung up with the person in the states, what did you do next?
C. CROES: After that, we spoke a while. And then we left that location with the intention of going to the Holiday Inn to continue meeting. On the way there, a young man and I were sitting in my car. And on the way there, instinctively, I wanted to go to drive off, pull over to the cabana area, just to look to see if perhaps she was there.
Then Croes decides to stop at the cabana? Whatever call he listened to apparently didn't rule out that Natalee was both alive and on the island at that point.
I agree and wonder if she'll share specific details in the rest of her interview with Greta tonight.
I think she used the word 'kidnapping' because had she said 'missing', there may not have been the same amount of effort put into looking for Natalee.
Being 18 and an adult, even the police in the US don't consider someone as 'missing' until 24 hours.
The problem though is that there is nothing that we know of to indicate a kidnapping.
