We were all together, dancing, and Natalee was only with Joran towards the end of the night.
GRACE: So when you saw him later in the evening with Natalee, what were they doing?
WEATHERLY: I didn`t see him later in the night with Natalee. I saw him in passing, and that was it.
Sorry, these girls know more than they are saying.
I thought she had been told Nat was with Joran toward the end of the evening but she didn't see it herself.
She knows more no doubt, but why do you think what she knows is related to the crime rather than a personal knowledge that she might have been three sheets to the wind?
That is what I am wondering, what you and Varina are suggesting. Do you think the girls are involved in the crime?
I don't think they're covering things up that would help the case..
I think it's more that all those kids were partying so hard they really don't remember what was what. And that's one of the reasons they're so reluctant to say anything - because they really don't remember clearly. Plus with the months passing what they really saw and what they've HEARD is just muddled in their minds.
We've heard that Natalee's very close friends were not on the trip. If that's the case - she probably wasn't REALLY tight with anyone person or group on the trip. I also think that is what made her vulnerable.
I've looked and looked at her pictures.. in more candid ones at home she looks more confident. In the picture of the four girls on the beach she doesn't look as confident to me.. her shoulders are sort of slumped.. (which you don't really see in pictures from home).
You may be right - she may have had some "words" with one or two of the girls that evening.. whatever the case for some reason she was the one picked out. I think it was because she was the most vulnerable. All four of the girls in the picture are equally attractive.. the other three seem to have a higher level of confidence.. in that one picture.
