LOL
Hey! I opted for it!
Nobody took any notice. lol
I have read the threads. Is anyone sending this material to the investigators in Aruba, the people who could actually act on it?
Ah, that perfect hindsight, and knowing now what I wish I knew then. For crying out loud, she's an 18 year old GIRL...who met a 17 year old BOY, who turned out to be a really bad guy. It's great that you know 'better', but you had to learn it some where along the way. Unfortunately her hard lesson might have cost Natalee her life. Blaming anyone but whoever did a crime and those that helped cover a crime is not the point or beneficial to anyone.
Yeah, it's like we went from the SBR to smoky Carlos & Charlie's.

Seriously, I'm still hoping for a "wilbanks" ending to this. The girl is safe and sound and everyone can be pissed at her for hiding. Doesn't look that way though...
Me, too.
It's beneficial to liberals. Always has been.
No offense, but posting from spurious websites, rehashing what Greta said or thinks, and translating Dutch rumors is not investigative work, nor is it cracking any case. It may be interesting, and fun, and a good way to let off steam from concern for Natalee and sympathy for her mom. It also feeds the cottage industry without changing a whit of what the people in power are actually doing. The argument has even been posited here that all the FNC meddling has made things worse, not better. I'm inclined to agree.
Anyone else remember this? It's been awhile - Not sure if it was one of the 3 suspects or the 2 security guards early in the process.....
Good point. I wonder if that incident is what that gal meant by seeing her at the hoten after and that was all she was going to say about it.
Also, I thought at the conference they were going to tell us things we didn't know. Things that would shock us, and we'd be devastated.
i am not a true crime buff, but this case caught my interest, maybe because i have a daughter the same age. there have always been true crime threads on FR, for varioud cases-- Elizabeth Smart, Laci Peterson, etc. etc. I personally never once visited those threads. These threads are for those interested in positing theories, posting different info etc. I don't think anyone here thinks they are investigating this case, but what is it to you if a bunch of freepers wants to talk about this?
Have any of the irate posters from other forums mentioned any of these 'sounter productive elements' in their posts, specifically? If so, could you re-post.
Their ire seems to be with BHT. (JUST MY OPINION)
Dan? Dan Rather?
Is that you?
It doesn't bother me at all, xsm, in fact I have joined the discussion at times. Part of that, though, is some may question the conventional wisdom and need not be told to get lost. I know you're not doing that and neither am I. Speculate away! And I join you in prayer for a good resolution.
Agree 100%.
It's a guess based on the things we KNOW. 1) She has not been seen for over a month. 2) Joran was the last one seen with her.
Trust but Verify, you posted this: I have no idea and I won't speculate
Lets see
speculate: To engage in a course of reasoning often based on inconclusive evidence.
speculate: To assume to be true without conclusive evidence
Then you say It's a guess based on the things we KNOW
guess: To predict (a result or an event) without sufficient information.
guess: To assume, presume, or assert (a fact) without sufficient information.
Do you have another word to describe what it is you are doing if not speculating?
