The girl was an honor student, 4.0 average, in a Bible study group, had just been awarded a scholarship. Based on that alone, does it sound like something that someone of that caliber would do?

I had presumed, not accused. Had I been in Aruba I would have helped search (I hope). However, the list of items you present is not sufficient to convince me that she is not fallen. How many stable, successful businessmen suddenly run out on their wives and families? Sometimes excelling brings pressures that we ordinary people can not understand.

Shalom.

You're just a negative person, to think so little about someone so young who had achieved so much. I'm sure Natalee would appreciate that. You really do have a negative view of people. There were absolutely NO indications that this girl was stressed out from the pressures of excelling, yet you're off & running with that theory, saying she's "fallen". Disgraceful!
