That might make sense if she had disappeared here in the US.

Doesn't matter where she disappeared. There are still questions...such as: 'Were there circumstances in the home from which Natalee wanted to escape?'; Did any of the parents/ step-parents have a reason to want Natalee 'disappeared'?...

I also find it strange that such a reportedly dependable young girl would choose to engage in a (nearly) all night party mode just hours before she was to leave the island.

From all accounts by her friends, she did not seem in any trouble or unhappy when she left C & C., and in fact, was smiling and waving from the car she left in.

All of her friends interviewed on TV (not surprisingly), said they were all "drinking responsibly." THAT I find hard to swallow.

Someone up the thread mentioned how Freepers will blast senseless rumors into a million pieces. I'd like to go on record as having used my 12-gauge to cyber-blast that one all the way to Mars.
