"Where have you been darling?"
I've been here.
I can't say I've been reading all posts, but have been reading most of them. It's difficult to catch up on this story especially when I have to go back and read prior threads. I did find a Shortcut/legend (Thread 4) list of abbreviation that I find very helpful and keep open in another browser.
I, and all in these thread, really would love this case be brought to a close and the perp who hurt/killed Natalee be brought to justice. I think there is not doubt about that. But apparently some think that I have no desire for justice. That is not so. Justice must be done in this case, as in all cases, and whomever is responsible for Nat's death/kidnapping must pay a price.
And then there are some who mistakenly take me for a former poster, disagree with my ideology or simply are not in accord with my tag line.
Excuse me, but the
are you talking about?
I certainly hope that because MY two stepdaughters have a good mother, that I am NOT a stepmother -- and a damn good one to boot.
You like this?
When one has a Father such as Dave, the idea of a step-father is preposterous.
I'd love to hear you explain why.
Place finder.
My gawd, can you possibly be this dumb?
mark for later

the reward money was upped to $1 million for the safe return of Nat alive, $500,000 for info leading to her whereabouts
we may have two new witnesses coming forward
a person who claims to know where the body is buried, which is all we know
and a gardener who says he saw Joran in the driver seat of Deepak's car, and Deepak and Satish were in the car as well and all of them were trying to hide their faces from him
he says this was between 2:30am and 3:30 am at the Aruba Racquet Club which is near the Holiday Inn, Marriott strip......this witness was apparently hunted down by Diario because this man's boss, in jail, was playing dominoes with Deepak and mentioned that his gardener saw Deepak and his friends at the Racquet Club at which point Deepak pushed all the dominos to the floor and stomped off, the gardener said he was afraid to come forward and Diario convinced him to come forward.......
we know nothing about this other new witness
the assistant Prosecutor has already met with the FBI and handed over all the evidence for them to peruse, Janssen is in Holland on holiday or working holiday or permanent vacation.......
the Aruban gov gave the go ahead for more involvement of the FBI now that the Chief of Police Van Der Straten is officially off the case
the defence lawyers are throwing motions left right and centre, they are asking for an injunction vs the sharing of info with the FBI, they are trying to suppress DNA results and I'm not sure if their motion also includes trying to stop Dutch special investigators from interviewing Joran et al......
Whe he/she might, but I'm not going to.
That was a completely ignorant statement to make on this thread that is suppose to be ABOUT FACTS.

That's what I was wondering back when they thought the hair length was 6 inches, then 4 inches etc.
You are completely right.
If he is legally married to her mother, he IS legally her stepfather.
I think the duct tape is a rabbit trail.
thanks for the link...great reading! appreciated
The reward was only increased if safe return. Thats what I find very very interesting.
_______________________________________________________
Yep very interesting,
If she is being held somewhere for whatever reasons, the money could talk......If someone held her on a deserted island for the aruban coast or venuzuelan coast the I think they would "row" that boat back to aruba as fast as they can......
You are welcome nuntukamen.

Hello,
Monkeys please be patient, the truth is coming and it will be soon. Just stick with me on this one. Do not discount the witness before you hear what is said. Surprise are around the corner. You can count on it.
"If she is being held somewhere for whatever reasons, the money could talk......"
The person/s who find her alive or lead investigators to her alive would be entitled to the offer ONLY if he/they knew of the public offer.
I hope so TA.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — Aruban authorities have brought in experts from the Netherlands and send a prosecutor to consult with the FBI as they seek to solve the disappearance of missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, officials said Monday.
The reward in the case rose to $1 million.
The four experts from the Netherlands traveled to the Dutch Caribbean island to assist with interrogations while two members of the team investigating the Holloway case traveled to the FBI crime lab in Quantico, Va., the public prosecutor's office of Aruba said.
Aruba has agreed to show transcripts of interrogations to the FBI, which is acting in an advisory role in the high-profile case, in a sign of increased cooperation that drew praise from the family of the Mountain Brook teen who vanished on the last night of a high school graduation trip.
"I'm really so grateful to the Aruban officials who have made it possible to release this information," the teenager's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, said after announcing that the reward for information leading to her safe return had been increased to $1 million.
A family spokeswoman in Birmingham said the reward was increased after Holloway's relatives received an offer from an anonymous benefactor.
No one has been charged in the case. Joran van der Sloot, the 17-year-old son of a judge in training on the island, has been detained as a suspect.
Aruban authorities agreed to provide the transcripts after the country's prime minister sent a letter to Attorney General Karin Janssen urging prosecutors to give the FBI "complete access" to materials from the investigation to the extent allowed under Dutch law, which governs the territory.
The FBI has also collected a sample of hair found on duct tape along the shore of the island for a DNA analysis. The agency has advised Aruban authorities in the six-week investigation into the disappearance of Holloway but previously had not had access to documents.
The public prosecutor's office said in a statement that Amalin Flanegin, a senior member of the prosecution team, and a police investigator would be at the FBI crime lab for a week with materials gathered during the investigation to discuss the case. They did not specify the materials.
Holloway, 18, disappeared May 30, hours before she was to catch a return flight to Alabama, at the end of a trip with 124 classmates. Extensive searches of the island have failed to find a trace of her, and Twitty said she hoped the increased reward — plus a separate offer of $100,000 for information that solves the mystery — will spur action in the case. Previously, the family offered $200,000 for her safe return.
