Sheba it would appear that Aruba, SO FAR, is willing to sacrifice the largest industry on their island, just to protect this OBVIOUS CRIMINAL. Not only that, they REWARD HIM ALSO??? It's SICK!! The entire place is SICK!! I wouldn't go near that Island or any Dutch territory for any amount of money. And I mean it. Seeing what has been done to Beth, Dave and families, I could not be bought.

...Aruba, SO FAR, is willing to sacrifice the largest industry on their island, just to protect this OBVIOUS CRIMINAL.

It's hard to believe that one Dutch failed judge can have such clout.

I am working on translating an article, in 'Diario' on Jan 13th, that says an American doctor and his 19 year old wife with long blond hair like Natalee's, went to Aruba because they were divorcing (obvious reason, no?). While there she became down, wanted drugs, met a black security guard to buy drugs, didn't pay him, he treatened her that something bad would happen if she didn't pay him.

This was a few days before Natalee arrived. They stayed in the same room as Natalee at the Holliday Inn. The buying of drugs and the payment of money by the wife (whose hair looked like Natalee's) took place behind the hotel near the pool.

They left Aruba, and in July were watching the news together (even though they were divorcing) when they saw a picture of one of the security guards in Natalee's case, (who else to pin it on and collect the reward money?) who the wife said she recognized as the drug dealer.

So, they made a trip back to Aruba, reported the incident to the police, and informed Beth and Jug, all according to the article.

There are several words in the article that I can't transle so far, but that is the gist of the story.

Those security gurards and any other black security guards on Aruba have a big targent on their backs to be used as scapegoats, while the criminals go free. The security guards must be getting nervous after reading this article in 'Diario'. The frame just might be getting worked-up for a better fit.
