But alas... things got a big more confused. As we got into the commercial break and as I said goodbye to Senator Lindsey, my producer in New York told me in my earpiece that Beth Holloway Twitty (search) could not get to our set. Apparently there was a fire adjacent to our hotel set in Aruba and everyone was blocked from the hotel. Hence Beth's interview had to be moved and suddenly I had, out of order, two of Natalee's friends from Alabama.
After that interview I was told we had more problems. Beth still could not get to our set so we had to take another guest out of order — the park ranger who found the strands of blond hair. My producer said, "Speak slowly... your guest has some difficulty understanding English."
Finally, after the segment with the park ranger, I was told Beth was on our Aruba set and ready to go. We successfully completed that segment! Finally!
The show is "on the road" again on Wednesday... or at least sort of "on the road." I will anchor the show out of the New York City bureau tonight which is not exactly "on the road," since most of our staff works in the New York bureau and most of our technical people do their work for the show out of New York. I am the only one traveling.
If you believe that then I have a bridge to sell to you. :-)
Don't hold your breath waiting...!
Newbie - LOL!
Obviously, it wasn't seen that way.
Somebody, somewhere, keeps that DNA sample. If not the local yokels then the county, state, Feds.....somebody, somewhere keeps that sample on file.
Its not up yet spectre.
Oh, maybe that's more disinformation I am spreading..newbie?

Why is it that you use your husband's user name? (so you can have that early start date?)
spectre, ( sw, ) ( and the others involved in this dispute, ) please rid yourself of the animosity. :-)
Step back, take a deep breath, count to ten and start all over again. It's a new day! :-)
I'm sure that no one wants little differences of opinion to deteriorate to insults. They just happen.
Try to be above that. :-)
You're all going to wind up hating each other over a small difference of opinion?
Sheesh!
I have no idea whether Natalee's parents knew what went on - it does bother me though that I've heard her mom say that she'd been to Aruba before.. (maybe it was ages ago..) and that Jug's son had been there a few years ago - he even told them that Carlos and Charlies was a very wild place.
I am NOT blaming Natalee or her family in ANY way - I am just saying as the mom of 21 year old and 16 year old boys.. (or men .. depending on their frame of mind on any given day.. ;) ) It makes me look more carefully at what they are doing and who they are doing things with...
It also has brought about MANY conversations in our house as to appropriate places to go and appropriate times to be home. As well as reporting in (these things pertaining more to the 16 year old of course - but since the 21 year old lives at home we've had the ... "As a courtesy - so I can sleep - please let me know what time you'll be home" speech...
What's the matter...can't control the threads anymore?..LOL.

Is there supposed to be an announcement today?
I saw someone posted that last night. Sorry but I did not hear it reported on the news myself LF.
I suspect when it is all over, she will be the first one to want to educate parents about sending their kids to foreign countries on vacation.
She didn't know what was going on over there either..poor lady.

Not likely. The guy in the checkered shirt looks too short to be Sloot, unless the other guy in the background is a super giant. jmo
It has nothing to do with control or starting the thread - It has to do with getting correct info out there and not BS! (TexKat know this first hand) - You and I have always clashed because you like to act like a child.
I step in and corrected your "false" info for the day because I get tired of seeing the false info you keep putting out there regularly.
End of story for me - Have a good day!
"OTOH, what this case has done, is to bring attention to the fact that our kids can go wild in Aruba, and it should be expected if we let them go.
"I'm certain that if Natalee's parents had known what went on, they would have never allowed her to go on that particular trip."
Good points, spectre. However, when in doubt don't let them do as they please. Put your foot down and say NO. It's for their own good, afterall. And someday, someday when they, too, are grown up, they'll understand why you said no to them on innumerable occasions and will thank you a thousand folds for it, and then they'll pass on your values to their progeny.
Children: they are what you teach them.
You haven't posted my other daily disinformation..I'm still waiting.
No, dear..you're the one who's had it out for me. You couldn't STAND the fact that we were all chit-chatting OFF topic when the case first started. YOU pouted and lectured and caused many people to leave the threads. Take a bow.
You're doing it again. And you have a good day as well.
Does anyone know more about the possibility of a statement being issued today?
Praying for Natalee and her family. May God grant them cooperation and continued strength.
But Natalee had the finest upbringing, and she was a fantastic, amazing, brillant, beatiful girl. Just ONE bad decision cost her life. And it wasn't all that out of the ordinary either.. There's something not fair about it all.
