Brigette, again, thanks for starting this thread and providing the incredible collection of links. Not having a chance to check in over the weekend, I may be a bit behind so forgive me if my comment is redundant.

Natalee's aunt was on Fox & Friends this morning commenting on Paul Van Der Sloot. She questions why a father would not have better control over a 17 year old son's activities on a school night. (Apparently Aruban schools were open Memorial Day, the day following the disappearance.) Here is a young boy drinking in bars and out on the town until the wee hours of the morning on a school night and his parents obviously don't monitor his comings and goings. I thought the aunt made an very valid point.

Might have something to do with the fact that Joran apparently does not even live under the same roof as his parents, but in an apartment attached to their house. A 17 y.o. boy -- if that isn't asking for trouble.
