This case has been bungled from the start. And now they have the nerve to threaten to sue the mother?

Arggg

Just come to the US and state her case. No libel laws like that here.

I don't know; it might be nice to have a base that close to Venezuela to operate from...

I heard a report that said she was considering buying a house there. She's in it for the long haul.

It's not the Arubans per se. It's the lawyers. My guess is that the family would not have thought of something like this, were it not for the attorney(s).

If it were in the U.S., I doubt there would be a case. Don't know Aruban law on this subject though.

Tourist business..which I might add...is the only reason the little island survives.

I have total sympathy for the mother and her loss, but she is even turning me off. We don't take people's freedom because the victim's mom says so. Thank god.

Has she hired her own private investigator(s)? If not, maybe that is an avenue that needs to be explored at this point.

The Arubans are part of it.



ORANJESTAD, Aruba — A latent but growing resentment here became evident for the first time when more than 200 people, some wrapped in Aruban flags, said they were incensed by statements made by the mother of a missing American teen.

More here.

I think she's just frustrated. But I don't disagree with anything she's done.

Remember...they have been told more than we have. They know things...that would shock us.

I don't know what secret information you are talking about, and I guess you don't either. She is emotional and I don't blame her. But her behavior is turning from helping her situation to hurting it.

Late Wednesday, a lawyer for the Holloway family said the comments reflected "a mother's desperation after weeks of trying to find her daughter. When emotion kicks in, reason kicks out."
