" Natalee sought him out in the casino and introduced herself?"

Exactly.

Her point being, it's "Natalee's fault."

Interesting......do you think the friend presented that in the interview intentionally to point out it was Natalee's fault?

There is so much tension about Natalee’s disappearance now. In my heart I believe the best we can do is offer some sincere, heartfelt prayers. Personally I am drained thinking about this. I won't stop checking and posting, and wondering. But I need some peace, and so I often turn to prayer. I have posted some here for those who choose to do so also.

I always prayed to St. Anthony when anything was lost. I have included some short little prayers that are so easy to say any time, over and over.

A Prayer For The Missing

O, Blessed Mother and St Joseph,
you searched when your Son Jesus
disappeared when he was twelve.
You would not give up
until he was found.
You know the pain of having someone missing,
and the joy of finding them,
as you found your son.
Help those who are searching now, to find the answers to their questions,
and an end to their searching.
Inspire people to be vigilant,
so that their eyes and ears
may see and hear news that will bring hope.
Comfort those who feel lonely and sad
because the one they love has vanished.
Be with them in the storm
and guide them in their efforts.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

And another:

God our Father,
your Son Jesus Christ as a child
was lost in the chaos of a great city
and was restored to the love of his family;
watch over Natalee , now missing, for whom we pray
and protect her with your love.
Be near to those who are anxious for her;
let your presence change their sorrow into comfort,
their anxiety into trust,
their despair into faith,
that they may know your loving purposes.
And this we ask
in the name of Jesus our Lord,
who loves and lives
and cares for all your children. Amen.

The St. Anthony Prayers:

St. Anthony, St. Anthony
Please come down
Something is lost
And can't be found

Dear St. Anthony, I pray
Bring it back, without delay.

Something's lost and can't be found
Please, St. Anthony, look around

Ah, you're saying the girlfriend(s) might have been a little jealous?
