I guess it depends on the third world hell hole. Personally I would go on vacation to relax and NOT have to use my brains to escape murder or white slavery, but that's just me. Doesn't sound like Aruba's a good deal at this point.

The United States is not exactly crime free, you know. This could have just as well happened in Alabama as in Aruba, sadly enough.

All you have to do is be careful with whom you associate. Being an 18 year-old white female that goes off alone to 'party' with the local men is probably not a good idea no matter where you are.

I have avoided doing that and managed to have a splendid, splendid, relaxing time.

My apologies, failure to spell check is not a good excuse. The correct spelling is homicide.

Yeah, like that. When you are that stupid (or 'naive'), you don't have to be in a third-world hellhole to find yourself in trouble.

It is amazing to me the people who have no idea what Aruba is like painting it and similar countries with the same broad brush because one of our citizens went there and exhibited ZERO common sense.

Officer: Men charged in U.S. teen's Aruba disappearance were known to police

June 7, 2005

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) - Two men charged in the disappearance of a U.S. teenager who went missing in Aruba more than a week ago were known to police for trolling area hotels to pick up women, and at least one had a previous brush with the law, a police officer said Tuesday.

The two suspects had lost their jobs as security guards at a hotel about two blocks from the Holiday Inn where Natalee Holloway, 18, was staying in the Dutch Caribbean island. They weren't fired but their work contracts had expired, a police officer told The Associated Press.

They were known to police because they had a habit of cruising hotels trying to pick up women or bum cigarettes, said the officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

About 700 volunteers joined police, soldiers and FBI agents on Monday, combing scrubland and beaches on Aruba's southeastern tip in an unprecedented search for Holloway.

Search parties found numerous items including T-shirts and sunglasses, but none had been tied to the missing teen, and the search was not scheduled to resume Tuesday, authorities said. FBI agents were to continue their own investigation while volunteers distributed fliers on the missing girl, they said.

One of the suspects had a previous brush with the law, but it was not a violent or sexual offence, the officer said.

The men - aged 28 and 30 - will appear before a judge in a closed hearing Wednesday to determine whether their detention is warranted, Attorney General Caren Janssen said.

With a nine-day-old search unsuccessful, authorities have not ruled out any possibilities, including accidental death, Janssen said.

Holloway, of Mountain Brook, Ala., has been missing since May 30. She vanished while on a five-day trip with more than 100 classmates celebrating their high-school graduation. Seven chaperones accompanied them.

Charged with both murder and homicide?

Yep, they get a stiffer sentence if convicted of both. I guess they will have to stay the eight days instead of three. :-)

Is "homocide" the killing of a homo?

No, that is hatecide, unless committed by another homo and then it is called, "Ooops!".

ORANJESTAD, Aruba - Accidental death has not been ruled out in the disappearance of an Alabama honors student, despite the arrest of two men known to police for trying to pick up women in hotels in this resort, authorities said Tuesday.

so I still wonder if she died from an overdose, maybe these guys gave her the rape drug, GBH, gave her too much.....hmmmm

Since the entire national economy of Aruba hangs on this one, you can bet that their punishement will be the legal maximum.

I made this exact comment to my wife last night, as we listened to this report on Fox. Tourism is the life-blood of that island. A major negative like this horrible situation would turn them into an impoverished landmark on the map.

Maybe I'm missing something, but wasn't it the three guys who she left the bar with that last saw her alive?

What proof do they have it was these two security guards. We don't have a clue why they arrested them. Or do we?

yeah some guy who called Joe Scarborough said he met one of the security guards arrested and he was shocked, said he was a great guy as best that man and his son could tell, just a few weeks ago, I think they were security guards at the Allegro, I'm trying to remember if my sister stayed there when she met the Dutch drug dealer/water sports dude....hmmmmm
