Someone asked her mother if she had run away before and I thought she said no. Sounds like they are trying to discredit the family to make up for their own negligence on the case.

It's interesting that the officials on the island have been very shortcoming with our press, your statement (trying to discredit the family) makes me wonder what they are saying to their own media and their own citizens- are they shaping the local public perception against US? Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Good food for thought. Why would a UA bound pre-med student, scholarship+, high academic GPA and upward bound career potential, just runaway?

It is apparent the Aruban politicos/authorities are now trying to obtain a some wriggle room in this case. I wonder if they wanted the first three perps to take a polygraph? I have my doubts, but it apparently it is conducive for Natalee's parent's to take the exam.

I hope they take the polygraphs(the Holloways's) so we can add more incompetent/stonewalling cover-up egg on the face of the Aruban authorities/politicos.

I think the plan is to intimidate, embarrass, and put misplaced blame on the victim/victim's parent's. I have to imagine Aruban authorities have been sent a copy of the DNC playbook.

Aruba's politicos/authorities are playing the old CYA game. I know there are good people who live in Aruba and they will be the most affected when the tourism industry from America drys up. The (well to do) never suffer the consequences for their actions or inactions.

Rippersnapper, what is your take on this response?

I think her mother did say no.

Also heard 2 of N's friends on Fox the other night, both of whom were on the trip. One of them said N would never have gone off with 3 guys like that. The other friend said when he last saw N at the bar, she was drinking responsibly.
