Time to start boycotting ARUBA until they solve this sad and scarry case.

Why is a class trip going outside of our borders in our current state of WOT?

In the Caribbean.

'Aruban police said Wednesday that they had questioned and released three local men who said they dropped the teenager off at her hotel late Sunday night. Officials said the girl's parents were unable to spot her on a hotel surveillance tape.'

I think we may have the answers already.

I'd ask the other students what she was doing with the locals. Someone from the group must have been with her,.

... three local men who said they dropped the teenager off at her hotel late Sunday night

Great chaperonage. What were the parents thinking?

This 18 year-old girl is out partying with three local men from the island? Sounds like she got herself in a situation that she couldn't handle.

It's gonna take a lot of bribes before the Aruban police do much of anything, and I'm sure everyone can look at this "three men who claimed to have dropped her off" business and know they probably assaulted and and then threw her body into the ocean.

ARUBA - an island of resorts and beauty on the "rim" or beaches, and a freaking Mogadishu war zone on the interior...

My guess: pretty blonde American teenager is trashed out of her mind at local Aruban nightclub.

Local Aruban guy chats her up, convinces her to go to a "cooler" club nearby.

She drunkenly wanders off from the group, gets groped by the Aruban guy and his friends at the local bar and demands to return to her hotel.

Along the way they have their way with her, kill her, dispose of the body and tell the cops they actually did drop her off like she requested.

The cops accept this explanation, let them go, and watch them.

Why would any parent let their kids go to a transvestite mecca?

[Guenevere]

White slavery, maybe?

She's blond...young?

Stranger things have happened.

Or maybe I'm just influenced by the Val Kilmer movie I saw recently....

When I was in 8th grade our French class went to Quebec for a week. You wouldn't beleive the things we did Montreal after the teachers went to sleep. In 8th grade! My kids are never going on any of these trips without me.

I took a trip to Dominica years ago. I often still wonder what life would be like if I had missed the return flight...sigh

No plane on Sunday
Maybe be one come Monday...

Latest update from Aruba News is that she was seen having lunch with two "beach bums" in Noord on Tuesday. Hopefully she is still alive and has just gone "walkabout".
