Sorry, I didn't explain my thinking here ...
Forty or so MB kids are waiting for taxis outside C&C's. Perhaps JvdS whispers to Natalee he has a taxi/ride waiting. He'll see her back to her hotel. Instead of waiting, she hops in ...
I can't see how Natalee can be knocked even if she went willingly with JVDS. Small islands present a sense of security (however false). I remember being young, single and accepting a ride from a local fellow on Grand Cayman Island and everything turned out just fine. We are still friends 35 years later.
So you are still wondering why she got into Deepak's car?
The way I see it... she got into it willingly or was forced into it. But that she was in Deepak's car and not a Taxi.
I would say she got into Deepak's car willingly since she yelled "Aruba" from the window of Deepak's car at her friends who were standing or walking outside the bar. (some friends of her's admit this happened.)
I really don't care why she got into the car (to me it does not matter if it was out character or not for her to something like this, it is not my place to judge her.) -
The point is she was in Deepak's car and the 3 boys have admitted this. She was seen in Deepak's car by some of kids outside the Bar and was seen leaving in Deepak's car around 1am from the bar. We now know it was Deepak's car, not a Taxi.
If she got in the car on her own or not at this point really does not matter, Only that she is now missing and she was seen in Deepak's car by her some of her friends and that Deepak, Satish and Joran admit she was in Deepak's car and they are the last KNOWN people to have seen her and who were with her. That is part of why they are being held. Daddy VDS may also be one of the last people to have seen her, that is if help Joran and possibly the brothers in some way.
Again I don't care if Natalee made a possible bad choice or not. Everything that happened with chaperones does not matter to me. Why her parents let her go on the trip makes no difference to me. Something has happened to Natalee and whatever it is Natalee did not deserve it. The 3 boys have the answers and possibly Daddy VDS has some of the answers also.
This is just my thoughts of what I am interested in and what I am not interested in. Just so you and others (notice the ALL in the TO: line) know what I am thinking.
