Your scenario--Joran either spikes Natalee's drink or she just drinks too much and something awry happens, would be plausible to me if they could find a body or some evidence. I just can't see how those three boys, even with the father's later help, could have masterminded the whole thing.

A couple of nights ago, before BTK sucked up all the oxygen in the cable news rooms, Beth and Jug were talking on some show and I think it was Jug who implied there is something much bigger going on than these three boys.

I am not sure it was just the father and the boys.. they would need some help to take the remains out to sea...

For the past few weeks both Beth and especially, Jug, have hinted that this is bigger than just a "simply crime".. at one point, if I remember correctly, Jug said that if the Kalpoe's were released he would give a full disclosure.. but that did not happen... perhaps they are frighted to come forward with this mysterious information... but it does add to the intrigue and then fires up the rumors...

This needs to cut to the chase.. first everyone stated that the Prosecutor had until September 4 to charge Joran in order to keep him in custody.. now it seems there is another 30 days that may be applied for.. then after that.. if charged.. it would be almost 4 - 6 months before the charges would be actually heard before a judge...

Frankly, I do not know how much longer Beth can continue.. while everyone is noting that she is a very attractive woman.. the strain is really showing on her face... not only am I praying for the safe keeping of Natalee .. but for renewed strength and courage for Beth...

I've thought for a long time now that this was bigger than just Natalee. I suppose that the VDSs and company could probably have gotten rid of the body, but it's the behavior of ALE and the island people who act so frightened that convince me that more is at stake.

I've heard about a connection to a drug ring, or a porn ring. I wish the Vandersluts would let them examine the well in their yard. So far they've refused. Hmmmmm....
