We are also surprised that no one -- at least to the knowledge of the few kids I talked to -- can pinpoint who *actually* saw Natalee get in the car and who *actually* saw her waving as they drove by. By the time the first group was leaving Aruba, at least a dozen kids were consistently repeating the story that she had been seen getting in the car and then seen (by same or others) driving by and waving. One of Beth's first statements to the press said 20-40 teens saw her *get in.* But as we try to pin it down -- "you heard it from whom who heard it from whom" and so on -- we (I mean me & the few I've spoken with) still haven't found any of the original sources.

This could be significant.

Darn right! Erroneous information gets passed on because no one checked it out and corrected the information.
