Could it be this poster, point the mouse to the lower right corner, then click to enlarge when the arrows appear.

Yeah, I have seen that poster. I think it was only out there for a day or two until Beth could get something else printed up. I think the next poster said 'Kidnapped'.
I don't for a minute think she was a runaway. I do think something was up that night Jug and Beth arrived at the VDS house, something was off might better be the word.
Mama VDS wasn't back from Holland yet, so who knows what was going on in that house?
We know things transpired, were said, that are being held back. Why did they just talk outside? The police were there, wouldn't the normal thing be to go inside and have a quite talk? My understanding is it took PVDS 20-25 minutes to answer with the sirens running.
We also know that Beth feels that Natalee was in that house at some point.
After that?
As someone said earlier, it's possible the three "boys" don't know where she really is, due to dear ol' papa and godpapa.
