Dropping in late, and sorry if this was hashed over earlier... my computer was cranky, but last night Greta mentioned the timeline of events and said she had to check her notes, but said Joran and the 'boys', perhaps with help from PVDS, came up with the first lie before the news was out that Natalee hadn't made the flight home. Before the first news cycle, in other words, it wasn't on tv or in the papers, so if innocent, why would they think they needed a cover story unless they knew N was dead? If the timeline is solid, and if they are innocent, why the lie about the HI? The timeline angle is crucial, and I hope Greta has more on this tonight.
Every time Beth has started to get anxious, the keystone cops throw her a crumb so she won't make waves. I have a feeling that little game plan is about to come to a halt.
I've tried to see this case from every angle, even that the boys may indeed be innocent. But all roads lead back to Joran...duh..
