Isn't this Lorenzo...

The Gardener went back home to Colombia. He was fired from his job and was threaten with home eviction by his landlord. Plus cameras and media have been following him around on the island.

So ALE waited what a week to try and get a sworn statement from him? What did they expect? They threaten TJ Ward with an arrest warrant on TV for working without papers before they get a sworn statement from an important witness they know is illegal. Sheesh makes one think they are not incompetent but doing a good job at killing the case. Why didn't they take a statement from him immediately and bring the Kalpoes back into custody or at least for further questioning since the gardner contradicted their story? I am fed up with this crap. I hope if Joran is released that Beth and crew tell all and we find out every misstep ALE made. Somehow I doubt their LE comes under much scrutiny and they will try and whitewash this whole thing....

Myself, I think it is, but again, nobody will say for sure.

Why can't I open that?

"I have to laugh tho' my 16 year old calls the music on MTV "rap crap".. he hates it.."

LOL! I call it "TV for Idiot's"

Try putting your cursor on the pic, clicking your right mouse button and hit the "view image" command. It that doesn't work, I'll give you a link.

The date on the article you posted is nearly a month old. So, it is not current news.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Nope, can't get it to show either. :(

[Froufrou]

Me either. It still won't open! #Q^%@!&!

[stopem]

Thanks for catching that, I didn't :( A friend emailed it to me and I never checked the date. I just read the article and became more upset.

Here is a non-Tickle site...see if this works.

Looks dutch, on the tickle site this Carrasquilla person looks like one in the same person and lists one of his friends as Deepak. Hmmmmm.............

[Dark Skies]

The similarity between those two is amazing. But Lorenzo has sanpacu eyes (notice the white under his eyes)...and the ears look similar but different. Also, Lorenzo has a slightly longer face.

I wonder if that is Lorenzo's younger brother.

The last I heard is that TES will stay until the landfill is completely searched. This is their last lead, so unless something else comes up, they have no where else to search.

The permit for searching the landfill expired Friday and they are expecting to get it renewed. The person who issues the permits is unavailable at the moment. Hopefully, they will get the permit on Monday and continue the landfill search.

Also: On the tickle site "Pets you have or want: I want one!!! A girlfriend :) (joke serio)"

Pretty telling IMHO!

One bright spot in this whole thing is where Beth said they will be running ads on other islands in their native languages
regarding the million dollar reward for Natalee's safe return and the email address for leads regarding JVDS from women who may have had encounters with him.

[Sunshine55]

The one on the right is definitely Jaime. I just don't see how this blogger can see any striking resemblance between the two.

I think for joran the sexual thing is power and whoever is there. I dont' see him as the kind of teenaged boy to fall in love with a girl and pine over her and act like a normal kid.

He seems oversexed and underloving. There is something peculiar in his pics. Like he could be bi. Anybody, anywhere, anytime, that is how he strikes me.
