This story get airtime because it is every parent's nightmare.

If the girl was fat and acne-pocked the airtime would be far more limited.

In Aruba he's also too young to be gambling or even be in the casinos. Too young to be in bars drinking. And who bought him the fancy sports car that he's too young to drive? Oh yeah the parents again.......Anyway hopefully he's also too young to be a murderer,I know I shouldn't say that, but thats what I'm thinking!

I was the same way, nearly went thru the roof when Ailes hired her, but she is terrific. Greta asks great questions, I love the show, however, I can do without Ted.

Oh....I'm not too sure about that. It is a heart wrenching story because it is someone's child and I think her mother is smart because the family mobilized the press and they keep it going.

OK, I have nothing personal against GVS (Greta), but My curiosity has been on about this for some time; anyone know what the deal is with her face? Was she in an automobile accident or something? I mean, I am not normally one to go gaga over someone just because of their looks, never mind the overall comments about her so far on this thread -preferring a more well-rounded package overall- but I am really finding Myself time and time again watching how her face seems to be constantly frozen in one expression without let...

Anyone?

This is a great story. This story is so much superior to Scott Peterson or Michael Jackson. This is about a family from red state America faced with the worst any parent could face. Natalie's family is handling this situation with such dignity, it is truly amazing. They are people of faith, maybe Howard Dean could tell us if they belong to that white Christian political party. Such things might matter to him, but I could care less what their religion or politics is, they are good people, such things show when we are put to such test. There is politics and has been politics played since the very beginning but these parents are not attacking the authorities or engaging in sensational histrionics, they are relentless. There are both friends and strangers who are there giving them support, Americans are good people they help their friends and family. In all probability this story will not have a good ending, but these Americans are showing a unbelievable amount of dignity which to me at least is inspiring. I had given up watching Fox News because I am tired of a bunch idiot politicians engaging in the politics of personal destruction, instead of committing to do the job they were elected to do. I saw the boy Teddy Kennedy on television acting is if he had the moral authority to give Rumsfield a lecture. It made me ashamed of America. Because Teddy Kennedy takes young women like Natalie Holloway swimming in Oldsmobiles without impunity. I hope there is more justice given the son of a judge and a judge in Aruba, than Mary Jo Kopechne received in the People's Republic of Massachusetts. For that reason alone, the story is worthy of the Fox coverage.

Obsessing?

Clearly your use of language in this case is inappropriate. Did you fail to notice that every few days yet more people are arrested. It's conceivable that the entire permanant population of the island could end up in prison.

Look, the runaway bride story is quite interesting ~ remember her eyes ~ I noticed that CNN has got a newsbabe on now who has nearly the same eyes ~ that's marketing!

Or, maybe the kid has been covering for his dad. Remember, moma was away for the evening.

The sad fact is the way this is turning out it looks like somebody may have been playing a fairly standard theme found in porn books.

She had plastic surgery a few years ago because she wanted to be prettier. I guess she thinks she looks better than before, but she can't move her face.

I have heard that is a danger with certain procedures; that a nerve might be accidentally cut. I feel sorry for her to have to experience that firsthand, especially working in a field where looks are more important than usual. I do not know her from any previous news outlets, but to My knowledge she does a decent job for FNC. All the better for her for getting where she is despite one strike against her to start off with.

Thanks greatly for the info.

>>>I know it's a gambling town with many casinos so I guess the dad could say he was withdrawing cash that late for the casinos or whatever ,>>>

Then they would ask where he went and check the video monitors there. If he's not seen, he's sinking deeper.

I am really having a difficult time thinking of Aruba, all 25 miles of it, being an actual country.

The Mom was away, or out of the country, or whatever ~ presumably that's when Pop has his way with girls.

There are books on this theme. It's not beyond belief that this guy reads those books and has an intense urge to live out a sexual fantasy or two.

Maybe thats why he's sitting in a jail cell at this moment. His story is full of holes. Amateur criminals forget with technology being what it is today, ATM records, computer hard drives, cameras etc. its hard to get away with anything.

No kidding, the fact that those 3 missing boys were found dead in a trunk doesnt get as much airtime as Beth Twitty. Thats truly sad. The poor parents of these 3boys weren't on TV 24 hours a day like Beth Twitty and her husband are, (the stepfather) of Natalie.

That's what I think too -- overdose of date-rape drug; dad called in to help hide the evidence; takes money out of atm to rent a boat to dump the body? or ??? to take the body to the mainland? or to ... take it out deep. Didn't they mention there were sharks by the Lighthouse? take it out by the Lighthouse. What slimes.

Bush gal, you and me, we could go into business being Private I's. Our theories just about match. There's not a lot you can spend a bunch of money on at 3am.

Most ATM's have an electronic photo or video system which images the customer. Thus it should be easy to determine who used the card.
