Hey, spectre, weren't you in the ES's thread?

I think I remember you being there with Palladin, Utah Girl and the rest. In that case, at first, I thought Richard Ricci had kidnapped Elizabeth. But, as the case wore on, I changed my mind. And I was right.

[Rippersnapper]

The Aruban's have managed to silence her but good, I'm afraid. It's a form of blackmail.

They told her if she didn't like how they were doing their jobs that they could just stop.

So, yeah, in a way they did blackmail her into silence.

[spectre]

You said that you haven't really been following the case since you had made up your mind.

So you are not INFORMED...AND furthermore most of us are afraid the case WILL in fact be resolved. And resolved it will be. Joran might walk.

sw...I think he was a child...running and touching the adult world...but not confident enough to enter that world.

This world is not for children so he was right to leave. But growing up is such a wonderful thing. To become alive...to endure the pain of love...to know that we will die.

Damn...I love it.

I speak only for myself but the humility of maturity is a wonderful thing. Connects all adults...connects us with each other and with God.

Don't take it personal presently no screen name ;). I still luv ya!!, lol.

Then the 'off the island' idea would be more paramount to me. And then add 'something bad happened to Natalee' could be just that.

[presently no screen name]

Thanks - it gets lonely in liberal land.

"I thought you stated that you have followed the story from day one."

Yes, from day one, just like the ES case. But, unlike the ES case, I stopped following immediately after the arrest of the two (2, not 3) security guards. One look at them, and I knew they did it. I followed it for a few more days while the guards were under arrest. At that point I knew they did it. And that's my informed, educated reasoned opinion.

[TAquinas]

"Your right"

Well, everybody has a right to an opinion.

[TAquinas]

"TAQ...we haven't truly explored the vast possibility that Joran could be innocent."

Yes, he could be innocent. But the fact that the police are still holding him, diminishes that possibility.

That Kalpoe mother is a piece of work.

[spectre]

I only stayed on that thread long enough to voice my unpopular opinion that Ricci might be innocent.

I bowed out after a while..

[TexKat]

And that's my informed, educated reasoned opinion.

But, is that your last answer?

[TAquinas]

et cum spiritu tuo.

Amn.

[TexKat]

Earlier I was reading something about a barrel in the water, I can't find it now. Has anything else been said about the barrel?

Yes, it was filled with concrete. See post #918.

[johnb838]

Oremus. Deo Gratias. Amen.

Beth is calling him Urine.

[TAquinas]

Well, I remember as if ti was yesterday and there were way too many posters attacking Ed and the rest of the family.

Many were disappointed when Elizabeth was found alive and well. A miracle it was. One which I will never forget for the rest of my life.

I think I got read more into this case if I want to make a good impression of myself in the thread. I admit I only followed the first days or a week and the investigation may have changed its course of which I may not be informed. If this is the case, I may have to change my opinion. Hard to swallow, but may have to. Uffah!!!

Greta talking about the bruise on Joran. Beth states that she even got a phone call today from a lady regarding the bruise on Joran.

Ite missa est.

Let's get back on topic.
