That's a good point and underscores the likelihood that she had been given rohypnol or some other compliance inducing drug.
I have thought from the getgo that she had been given a drug. Hubs and I had the same initial reaction. It doesn't fit that she'd 'go out on a limb' like that, on her last night there, especially.
I can buy that she used bad judgment and may have let her hair down - and her guard - a tad more than usual, given the celebratory nature of the trip.
The rest is on that monster's head. He's lucky I'm not NH's mom. I wouldn't be as nice as she has been.
#1631 - That's exactly the point. Natalee DID NOT leave with those 3 guys under her own steam. She was definitely drugged. Even the Kalpoe's brothers made the comment that "she was tipsy". Accordingly to her classmates and long time friends, Natalee would have NEVER done that - she was far too cautious. I believe these boys statements have proved the fact that Natalee had been given "something". Who can believe Joran VDS who has changed his story at least EIGHT times (last count I heard). Even his father is a liar.
