agreed, totally
One thing I have noticed over the course of this....the little brunette Frances Ellen Byrd appears in the majority of the published pics from the aruba trip....convincing me that she was with Natally frequently and/or nearly continuously during the trip.....yet in her many interviews since, she seems to have no specific and definitive statement to make. This is bizzarre IMO.
It seems that Natalee is/was very intelligent (to the point of another one of her friends remarking that Natalees tutelage is the only reason that the friend passed calculus). Frances seems more "average", if you will.
During my younger days, I noticed that the "10" chickees almost always held court over/with a few close friends with lesser numerical designations for attractiveness, and that the clique rarely contained another "10". The aforementioned brunette (IMO, at least) is far down the food chain in whatever clique is the reality, both in looks and smarts.
I'm wondering what you Ladies on this thread might think of the rather ambiguous questions implicit in consideration of the group dynamic I attempted to raise above......
As a man and former teenaged boy, I cannot possibly comment on girl-clique dynamics except to say that I was aware of it back then, and when I was able, I exploited it if possible along the road I was driven on by my then-raging hormones:) But now I am wondering what a womans point of view might be in light of this case and what little and confusing things we have seen wrt Natalees classmates.
Frances Ellen Byrd & the other girl,
have a difficult time to answer
questions. It's like their brains
are somewhere else. Ditzy girls.
IMO.
Frances said if she knew NH was
going to leave with joran, they
wouldn't have let her go.
What....did she mean by that? Frances
said she, nor the rest of the group,
knew joran. So why make a statement
they wouldn't have let NH go w/joran?
