To be honest, it is irrelevant what Beth believes, or feels, or thinks - as far as the actual search for truth and a crime here goes. She is a worried, frantic, despearate mother who probably regrets letting her daughter go wild in Aruba with little or no real supervision. Her story is sad and painful but the whole world cannot stop and force someone to confess to something that we really don't know happened or not. I am skeptical too of some of the detective work here and of the involvement of the suspects. But I have yet to see real proof of any coverup here, just people getting into the hype and emotionalism of this story.
I have yet to see evidence that Natalee went "wild in Aruba."
To be honest, you suggested she was calling for "vigilante justice". My post said she was not, and gave reasons why.
As to her irrelevance to the legal issues, I disagree. She and her family hit the ground running when they got to Aruba. They are the ones who turned up Joran and the Kalpoe brothers, not the Arubans. And when they did, then the Arubans let those three go and arrested some black, innocent security guards on the word of the three liars whom Beth and her family had turned up in their OWN INVESTIGATION.
And the Arubans did not do proper forensics at all on the items they should have that were belongings of those three. That is just a fact. If they did not have that capability, and if they could not move quickly, then the FBI could have done so if they had been asked and allowed. But they were not.
And now 5 weeks have passed. Unforgivable in a case like this. The family has been forced from day one to investigate this themselves. They are more than just desperate, upset people.
