I'm sure there are kids who do coke while in Aruba, but I feel it in my bones that Natalee didn't.

If that's true, and Natalee was one of the few hold-outs,
you don't suppose her 'friends' may have looked the other way, instead of helping her, do you?
Does it bother anyone else, that story about Natalee
"introducing herself" to Joran?

Yes, it does bother me about Natalee introducing herself to Joran. Is that verified?

[cajungirl]

People introduce themselves. I myself do it all the time.

What might you be suggesting.

And most kids don't do coke, believe it or not.

Yes. Inviting a strange man to meet you at a bar is not a wise thing to do, no matter how nicely he is packaged. People that do that are taking great risks. imo

No, I don't think Natalee's crowd was into drugs. From all accounts I've read, they're a good clean-cut group of kids who merely partied with some alcohol.

No. Very normal thing to do, IMO.
