Anyone that has visited a foreign country knows there are tons of pirate cabs that are unmarked...it is also likely Natalee just thought she was getting a short ride to the hotel with friends of Joran..whats the big deal.

I have been to foreign countries and you do NOT get into vehicles that are not marked TAXI. You do not get into a car with three strange men. That is just common sense and should be OBVIOUS.

I'm a long time lurker, been around here since the impeachment days. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make their comments any less valid, no matter how long or how short their actual registration date.

Pardon me, but there have been reports that Natalee met Joran a few days before..of course I haven't heard either his or her side of the story, but if so he was not completely strange to her. I have been to foreign countries and have gotten into vehicles with short term friends where I didn't know everyone in the vehicle..Had she been drugged, would that make a difference? How OBVIOUS would it have been to a drugged person? Would she be able to discern late at night whether the vehicle was a taxi or just a friends car? Would it have made any difference to one who was drugged? Yes bad things can happen in foreign countries, an aquantance of mine went off alone, had valium slipped into their drink and was robbed, thankfully that was all that happened to them...this was an adult male who was warned not to go off alone but did so anyway. People make mistakes but they are still victims of predators.

Yes I agree registration date does not make your comments valid. I imagine it is just a coincidence both you and Gingersnaps have been around for such a long time and recently registered.

Have a nice day
