I got to thinking. The witness supposedly saw two men nab Natalee. Satish claims to have been home an hour after being seen at CnC's. Could the two men seen with Natalee be Sloot and Deepak? They had to get her out of the car and onto a boat?

Hi, Good Morning Rippersnapper and all. I see we are all still actively pondering all the possibilities. I keep trying to stop trying to surmise what might have "gone down" down there. It is maddening.

As to your question above: I thought about it, but remember one of the brothers (I can't remember which, it is in this long thread somewhere) said that he received an email from VDS about an hour after he (the brother) got home that night/morning? The email said something like "I have something to tell you..." so I suspect something happened to Natalee while in the presence of VDS and not afterwards with the brothers. But who knows now. This is certainly a web woven of high intrigue.

And, again today, on the TV they are trying to counter any negativity about Aruba...talking with people who say how "nice," peaceful, tourist-friendly it is there. Well, perhaps on the surface that is how they make it appear. But inside their hearts we are all just "cowboys" to them, and their disdain is very apparant. But they also realize that we Americans, once discovering that there is something very amiss with the crime activity there, will take our cowboy dollars spend them somewhere else.

I think Natalee's parents are walking a very thin line, and cannot make much of a fuss about any ineptness or Keystone Cops-like handling of this investigation for fear of losing the government's/police help on this. But, after it is all over I believe we will hear a different song from her mother and her family.

IMHO.

I thought it was Satish that got the email. Which would fit with my suggestion. Natalee would have still been with VDS and Deepak, priot to the email going out.

What's "amiss" down there is they don't do things in their justice system the way we do...and they are VERY proud of it.

This should be a profound lesson for any parent who is even thinking of sending their teenager out of this country on vacation to Aruba.

That newspaper smirking puppet spokesperson, Julia, can try and laugh it off as an "isolated" incident, but that is no excuse for keeping Natalee's parents in the dark, all in the taunting name of "that's the way we do things here". How backward is that? It's beyond cruel.

Aruba should understand that we have beautiful beaches in this country. (Gulf Shores Alabama comes to mind.) We don't need theirs. When our youth groups are planning a vacation, there will be more than one parent who will recall how Aruba "does things their own way".. and strongly recommend they take their business elsewhere. American's aren't as stupid as they think we are.

We have a way of doing things ourselves and they are NOT going to like it.

END OF RANT...
