yep, probably for a buoy.

But, I would like a jackhammer and I am sure everyone there does.

[Trust but Verify]

I think you may be right. Whatever they did to dispose of the body, they did a good job for her to disappear without a trace. I feel very bad for her family. Can you imagine hoping that you'r lost daughter's body is in that barrel so your nightmare can end?

[spectre]

The concrete probably isn't deep or thick enough to conceal a body.

[txrangerette]

True.

[the Deejay]

Unless Joran confesses..fat chance of that.That's right.

Easier to do 160-odd days in jail, [by keeping mouth shut], vs 40-odd yrs. to life in prison.

[spectre]

I don't know WHY they haven't explored the water well shaft on the Van Der Sloots property? OK, of course I do :(

[mewzilla]

If I were them I'd make sure that there's nothing else in that concrete.

[Jrabbit]

It's just so horrible.....never knowing what happened would be torture.

I keep thinking a well, a cistern, a barrell buried underground or thrown into an old mine. Someone that KNEW that island. The only other thing that "could" have possibly happened is the body had to be taken by boat out to sea and weighted and dropped. The second scenario tho would take time. I hope these tropical rains from Emily, fill up all the cisterns and wells and bring it's contents to the tops. Who knows what God can do???

[daybreakcoming]

Concrete filled barrel would be the reason it was buried in the sand by the seas.

I am overdue for my friday afternoon nap,,later

Thanks for the transcript and everything else you've posted. THIS is the sticking point that IMO has Americans and all right-thinking people upset with what is going on down there on this case and with their legal system. And if that's the way it's going to be when an American who spends their money down there turns up missing- that island should be BOYCOTTED. PERIOD.> Don't F*** with the U.S.A.! (and our women!).

You know the kid IS a bad seed but he's also as stated before, spoiled rotten. The one I have the most incense against is the POS father!! He's a shifty-eyed, sweaty, hang wringing criminal. And to allow that man access to the kid is just unbelieveable. yeah, Arlene, that's such a fair system. It's about as corrupt as it gets!! I think Aruba has been in for a bitch slapping for a long time coming.!!

[daybreakcoming]

Yes jackhammer time - if not Natalie in there - perhaps a clue or two they decided to get rid of while they were at it. Still wondering if there were any markings stamped on it.

[spectre]

Right. Dispose of the body the quickest way possible, without the risk of detection.

So if that were the case, they would have tossed her into the ocean when they went to show Natalee the sharks.

Recall Scott Peterson saying he went fishing? He was concerned someone may have seen him there, so he told on himself.

The boys may have done the same thing...thinking someone may have seen the car in that area.

" Who knows what God can do?"

He can work miracles. Seven years ago, I asked for his help and today, I am cancer free. I am asking him now to bring Natalee home.

[Canadian Outrage]

LOL, all that was missing was the music!!

[presently no screen name]

I suspect Tim Miller's cadaver sniffing dogs have more forensic experience that Aruban LE (not to mention that the dogs have a greater motivation to find the truth).



Upon retirement, Van Der Stratten, will be replaced by cadaver sniffing dog.

[af_vet_1981]

I am asking him now to bring Natalee home.

I agree with you.

[Canadian Outrage]

OMG - a barrell?????
