At the very least the brothers lie delayed the investigation, lead to the security guards arrest and allowed the potential guilty party and his father to hide evidence.
She probably knows more that we do.
No she isn't asking for "some type of vigilante justice here". Please read where I said MY WORDS, NOT HERS. She asked that no one offer them a safe haven. The Holloways are anything but "vigilantes". Now me, that's another story. I would tear that hell hole apart looking for my child including anyone who stood in my way!
I sympathize with her grief and desparation, but she is not a legal expert and has no more evidence of murder than the authorities do (FBI, Arubans etc.)
Where did anyone suggest that she was a "legal expert"? She has an attorney and since Beth did as much investigating as the Arubans did in the beginning I think she has evidence that you don't know about and obviously neither does the rest of the country. That's why she was threatening to go to the media with it since it is her ONLY leverage at this point.
What good would "vigilante justice" do Natalee or her family?
She may be upset, but your suggestion that she was calling for something harmful to be done to the Kalpoes by the public is more strange to me than what she said.
Beth believes the Kalpoes have more knowledge of what went down than they are telling. Believing that, and she has her reasons, for sure, she wants them under pressure to reveal what she thinks they know. It is information she wants from them.
Could she be calling for the public to harm the Kalpoes? No way. Public pressure from the citizenry, however, for the Kalpoes to spill what she believes they know, is so obviously what she means.
And her comment that her biggest fear is they will leave Aruba, fits in exactly. There could be no public pressure if they leave Aruba.
Absolutely not!
She is a grieving Mother dealing with an inferior law enforcement and judicial system looking for her daughter. These two lying scum brothers, if nothing else, obstructed justice. If Natalee had been alive in the first hours then they contributed to her death. And now they are free to travel wherever they want. Good luck Aruba to ever get them back!
