Varina...if Wilbank's family had been upfront, we would have known she had a case of cold feet before, not to mention Jennifer had a few thefts she was picked up for. She wasn't lily white.

In the interest of Natalee's character, I'd be curious to know if she slept around at all. While this may seem to be an insulting question, it would go far to explain her willingness to have a one night stand. I don't think she was loose. So it would help.

From Websleuths:
Early TV news here said Sen Shelby, AL, and another senator (didn't catch his name) now getting involved with disappearance, hope that will make some difference in the "investigation." AL recently got over $1 million from federal gov for their violence against women program. Three weeks now since Natalee disappeared.

SW, I really believe Natalee is/was a very nice, sweet teenage girl, but I know many, many nice, sweet teenage girls who nevertheless sow a few oats now and then before they get on with their lives.

Nothing she could have done is reason for her to be harmed in any way. Have to wonder though, if such a "perfect" person, possibly had some stress issues maintaining that image.

Read somewhere on these threads that she and her family were well traveled. So that makes me think this probably wasn't her first encounter with lifestyles outside Birmingham.

In the interest of Natalee's character: It is still not clear whether she had a "willingness to have a one night stand." Maybe she did not, and they tried to force her into it and that is what caused this whole situation. She had no reputation for sleeping around. Many of her schoolmates have attested to her character and none discredited her. She may have fallen for Joran, like many other teens having a summer-love, that is not unusual. She may have wanted to spend some last moments with him, but sex may not have been her idea. Even if it was, that is not uncommon (unfortunately) nowadays - or even when we were growing up. IMHO even being a passionate teen thinking she was "in love" would not brand her a sleep-around type.

Poor child, whatever happened I doubt she had any awareness of possible danger. If she is no longer alive her last moments must have been horrifying. If she is stull alive, she must be terrified. I pray she is safe somewhere, anywhere and reunited with her family soon.

We knew something was funny with the bug-eyed bride because the groom wasn't that upset. That's why we thought he killed her.
