I ABSOLUTELY believe that Paul Van der Sloot is involved in this crime.

I think you are right. He is very much involved. His part may be hardest to prove forensically, but I am hopeful that it is not impossible.

[theophilusscribe]

Oh, cool! Thanks!

[spectre]

I trust you bought yourself a generous birthday gift?!!

ALL..what is the source for Joran's missing shoe? Anyone know?

I also noticed one shot of PVDS carrying a plastic bag with a handle and sticking out the top of the bag was a pair of sandals with mud on them. Surely the mud from the sandals can be compared to the mud in the pond if those sandals were at all involved.

WOW! Good find Eagle-Eye! I am very impressed! :o)

Do you do investigatory work for a living? Or are you just very good at observing details?

[xsmommy]

my bday gift from all of you was a wonderful massage and facial at the spa at the hotel here on kiawah, thanks so much to all of you ; ) it was fantastic~

[xsmommy]

the missing shoe was news to me, i hadn't heard of it previously, but it makes sense given the theories i have heard propounded on this thread about him losing it while burying the body.

[spectre]

We knew you deserved it, mommy! Our pleasure :)

The missing shoe certainly adds more drama to this case, but is it truth or fiction?

Does anyone remember who said Joran walked home barefoot and what was the time he did that. Was it his mother?

[theophilusscribe]

Ok, now you have me intrigued. Who does she look like? Lisa Kudrow?

[theophilusscribe]

It is going to be quite interesting to find out what actually happened that night.

Re: Joran allegedly walking home barefoot: The family attorney (DeSousa?) mentioned that on TV a few days ago.

[spectre]

I'm listening to MIchael Baden. He is NOT SURE where they got the information about the missing shoe, but he mentioned it as well.

I just hope it's not just another red herring.

i only read it on here, i haven't heard or read it anywhere else independently, about the missing shoe, i mean.

it is extremely fascinating, yet heartbreaking when i see that family on tv, imagining how they must feel. you know, i know some on here have been critical of jug twitty, but i think that beth is lucky to have a strong, take charge man like him at her side during this tragedy. i am sure some think him arrogant, but lord almighty, look at what they are dealing with. he is dealing with it the best way he knows how, as is Dave, her father. these are rock solid, strong people doing for their family the best way they know how. and when i think about that it makes me want to bawl.

[spectre]

So he was walking home minus BOTH shoes, or he was carrying ONE?

" What else could show up in the pond that is relevant?"

A murder weapon, like a knife.

[theophilusscribe]

A murder weapon, like a knife.

A bottle of GHP (or Rohypnol ) too, maybe . . .

Anbennett, while no longer able to post here, has stayed in touch with me via email. He believes there's a body in that pond. While I have NO idea who this person is, or how he gets his info...he's been right before. When I asked him directly via email if he thought there was a body in the pond...he responded, "Yes, keep watching".....

Just threw that in for the heck of it...

[maggief]

I don't think he walked home with or without shoes. But, if he did indeed lose a shoe perhaps that's why the car was seen at the site days later. Were they looking for the shoe?

[spectre]

Good point.

We should know something today. There is such anticipation about what secrets that pond holds, that it will be a massive let down if nothing is found. That will work in favor of the boys.
