Now having had some time to consider this information, I'm not sure I find it credible. Jossy is as suspicious to me as about everyone else involved.

I concur. There are things that just don't fit. Too often we get breaking news that is either retracted later or turned out to be untrue.

You have the Kalpoe's mother peaking into their rooms to see if they are there and checking on if the car is there, you have Geraldo supposedly using the wrong date repeatedly. Could the three have been near that raquet club the following morning? Is that where they were when the H/T's arrived at the Sloot home? Is that why they were together at the Sloot home when the H/T's returned?

Natalee approached the black jack table and introduces herself to everyone (which is proper southern custom) yet when Joran tries to speak with her at C and C's she won't talk to him? (Some southern custom).

Then he supposedly tries to speak with her again and she again rejects hims and he allegedly hits her with a closed fist.

...........MBHS guys shield Natalee from Joran when they see him hit her & tell him to take it outside.

........................MB kids say Natalee sticks close to friends & won’t even go to bathroom alone.

Yet, when they leave, Natalee leaves the group to join another further up ahead.

It just seems that for each piece of info there is conflicting info.

Others evidently, didn't think the scenario of Joran hitting Natalee in the bar made sense, so next we had people theorizing that he didn't hit her in the club, but in the car. I found this fascinating that the whole scenario was changed to fit the theories on the board.

Amazing isn't it?

I've taken my thoughts off this board, since the ones that have a different opinion are accused of all sorts of ulterior motives rather than some of us just don't see anything more than a circumstantial case. He may have done it, but I'm not dismissing the possibility someone else grabbed Natalee after Joran left.

If you are posting elsewhere on this topic could you freepmiail me where since I'd like to read your posts/thoughts.

I didn't mean to imply that I wasn't planning to post anymore. I was explaining the original question posted why some of us who had different views were keeping quiet on this thread.

This was the original question, I was answering:
"I wonder how many will still defend Joran and the Kalpoes after this?" #1973

I should have posted the original question. That's what I meant. I had been keeping my thoughts to myself, but there were still some of us out here that still feel the case is very circumstantial. It is not a popular view on this thread, so I was keeping quiet and letting the case proceed. I just wanted others to know that not all of us saw it as a slam dunk. Even last night on Hannity and Colmes, Hannity raise the same questions I have about the reliability of Jossy M.

I hadn't planned on leaving the thread, I was just explaining why I haven't been expressing my opinion, when it is not in the majority. I see that my statement above wasn't clear. texKat does a good job on bringing other information from other sources into this thread, so when I want to read up on Natalee's case, I will probably continue to go here.
