It certainly is for us. For Natalee's family it is an ongoing Nightmare. We are in our comfortable homes, wondering, googling, FReepering. They are probably exhausted, feeling sweaty and drained, not eating properly, not sleeping well, etc. This has got to be life altering, and even life threatening for some of them. Stress like this is unbearable.

I had a family tragedy and I remember the desperation that lasted for so very long. And the adrenaline that kept pumping until I was so hyped I could barely breath.

I feel so sorry for all her family and friends. The saddest part was how unavoidable it could have been if the "chaperones" used more common sense and didn't rely on that stupid contract the kids signed. That part really irks me.

And speaking of being drained...I have got to go to bed. Had my PB & J crackers, donned my FReeper jammies. Now it is time to get some ZZZZZ's.

I hope this case is solved while I am sleeping, and solved with Natilee found alive. My prayers will be for that until she is safe.

G'night all! You are some of the best Sherlocks around!!!

Yes, this is an horrific ordeal for Natalee's family. They have become part of an "exclusive club, to which no one would ever want to belong"...as Mark Klass and John Walsh call it.

I pray for the Holloway and Twitty families every night. For all those who love Natalee, and all who are searching for her. They say the worst part is the not knowing.

Hopefully, the knowledge Natlee's mother seeks will come tomorrow.

Perhaps the interview with Joran's father has borne fruit.

I think if the FReepers here can find out all this info - dangerous - on Aruba WHY didn't the chaperones check it out for SAFETY BEFORE they went on their trip. Mostly for the young girls.

I think us Americans are way too lax - we just think sun and fun. I include myself in that, also. I certainly got an education tonight and thanks to all for their work.
