"This reminds me of how Fox News, and others, were obsessed with the Chandra Levy disappearance."

This comment reminds me of a liberal. If they don't like it, they want it restricted or complain about it.

If you don't want to read about this horrific crime, just "Move On" [to quote our liberal/Stalinist friends]

We are over here now Mal!!

Wow. Get a grip man.
First of all, there is, as of yet, no evidence of a crime. Only a disappearance.
Second, bazillions of people disappear everyday.
If you're fascinated by this, enjoy. It's only interesting to me because of the attempt to make it interesting.
You're intrigued, others may not be.
Save the caustic comments for something worthwhile.

We do tend to jump on a case and sometimes over blow it... but this is so heart wrenching... I have spent hours (my break away from my usual work) in reading these comments and thinking about Natalee...

This morning.. in clear light... my thoughts:
This was a case of two young teens exploring the sexual world in a romantic setting.. now, it could be Joran using some stimulus to "have his way" with Natalee... he could have decided that he was going to have a young girl that night... etc... Natalee could have objected (?)

Then something terrible happens..this could be anything from rough sex to the stimulant reaction.. but she passes on and he is in a terrible quandary...

(I can't seem to rationalize the cell phone call to her Mom.. if that actually happened..)

He panics, calls his Dad and his friends to try to decide just what to do.. then Dad helps him with a "Story".. helps get rid of the evidence.. and thinks this will just be a case of a missing teen.. and life moves on...
The story is that they left her at her hotel.. but then bring in the two security guards..

At that point, Natalee's family moves in on Aruba.. knocking at doors in the middle of the night/early morning.. gets everyone in a uproar .. and the "story" begins to fall apart...

The guards are arrested.. the boys are questioned .. again, everyone thought life will move on.. but NO ONE every dreamed of the impact Natalee's family would have...

In the meantime, the police are demonstrating their inability to deal with such a case.. under "normal" conditions, if someone is missing, they just do a surface job and call it quits.. for not everyone has a mother like Beth..

Now in order to cover all of this up... rumors and stories fly.. it is way out of hand.. the three boys and their father/mothers are in over their collective heads and even the lawyers do not seem to know what to do...

OK how can this end??? This is the "come to Jesus" time..
Joran, his father and the Kalpoes get in one room with Natalee's family and the police.. they all TELL THE TRUTH..(what a concept).. The Boys and their parents throw themselves on the mercy of Natalee's parents and the Court.. then every one works out a closing strategy .. with serious repercussions for the perps...

Now.. this seems so simple.. it does not take into consideration any unknown events or materials.. nor does it take into thought that Joran may not have committed murder... but until the whole truth comes on the table.. Joran is going to take the heat for the full crime..

OK.. you can all say.. what a nut.. and will also know that my expertise does NOT lie in criminal justice.. but I feel very strongly that this case is all blown out of proportions.. there is a major cover up.. the Police have done a shoddy job.. Natalee's parents are so strong willed that until justice is attained, they will not give up.. and that we, as champions for Beth do not know any fact past the base: Natalee is missing; Joran was the last person with her; there have been a series of lies; and rumors are flying like sand in a sandstorm...

Just my two cents for this morning... By the way.. I take criticism very well!!!
