There was a rumor, and it may only be that, that Joran had asked some dope sellers had actually been the ones to kill Natalee with drugs and that he has been threatened by them, saying they would kill him and his family. I don't know how true it is. Could be a National Enquirer piece.
Well, if Joran or the National Enquirer said it...we can take that to the bank!
Although, I do believe there is some hidden power manipulating this case. I strongly suspect that Van der Straaten was involved in screwing up this investigation from the beginning. Might be more players than we have imagined.
