Hey penowa,
This letter thing conjures up some fasinating aspects.
1. Natalee really sent a letter to PVDS to tell him, of all people, that she 'ran away'. (I find it truly amazing that anyone would believe this for one minute.) And if it was received by PVDS in September did he turn it over in September and we are just now hearing about it from Koen? Or, did PVDS conceal evidence from ALE from September until now? If so, he should be questioned as to why he waited so long to give this letter to ALE.
2. If there is a letter from Natalee and the letter does have Natalee's DNA, is that DNA from saliva or is the DNA on the letter itself? In either case, Natalee could be alive and was forced/tricked into handling the paper or envelope. If they truly find her DNA on a letter this could be good news. Personally, I believe if there is a letter it is a hoax.
3. If she is dead and there is a letter with her DNA on it someone had access to her DNA. Hmmm...and it came to PVDS? How strange would that be?
4. Aruban and/or Dutch labs will test for DNA...sorry, but any results coming from these people should be questionable. They have her DNA and could do anything they want to with it. They have way too much at stake here.
Or...maybe that 'letter' will end up in the same place as Arlene's video of Beth meeting with the prosecutor.
should this letter somehow contain lab-proven DNA, i would be more concerned natalee was forced to pre-date and write the letter prior to her death (especially if they made a snuff film), but the paulus statement "no body. no crime" could apply to someone being sold into slavery, also, and he was merely telling his boy and his rape buddies that if there is no body anywhere, that she has been sold and taken elsewhere, there is no criminal charge that can be brought...and if she were sold there has to have been some premeditation and therefore they may have thought it clever to create a letter for the future...and finally, on the other hand, it would be better for them that we think her dead if she had been sold, but a letter implying she is fine and dandy only fogs things if there is a murder, death and rape, etc.
