If FNC is still doing Natalee stories by Thanksgiving with no new developments in the case, they deserve to go bankrupt. ----- At least Judge Crater and Amelia Earhart were somebodies.

ROFL. Right on. It's pathetic that Greta (and Vanity) have been wasting so much time on that Aruba drama. Let us know when the court case starts and ends.

For a change, how about a story on the illegal Federal Income Tax or The Federal Reserve (that is as "federal" as Federal Express). Those are ongiong mysteries and dramas!

You are missing the point here, IMHO. Actually Greta's Aruba coverage (as on other shows on Fox, as well as on Joe Scarborough's show on MSNBC), is an attempt to help a woman whose daughter was undoubtedly murdered on a foreign island, by keeping it in the news, as the Aruban gov't has botched (in fact IMO covered up) the investigation. The minute she loses her attempts to keep the case alive in the news (and Natalee's mother is very clever at keeping this in the news), then she leaves the island with the murder unsolved, and the murderer (the Dutch boy) will go free. FOX (as well as Joe S.) are helping her on what might be a hopeless quest, as the Aruban legal system really sucks, and her daughter's murder may never be resolved. I give the highest kudu's to this mother who fights like a she-cat to find her daughter's killer(s). What fortitude, what dedication to the memory of her daughter. The whole family is fighting for Natalee's return, one way or the other.

If this was your daughter, what would you do. Would you not try to keep it in the news (lucky for the mom, FOX and Joe S. have come to the mom's aid), or would you slink home, minus your daughter for the rest of your life. I think what FOX is doing is admirable. I'm sure they know this story has been overworked and that their audience is tired of the subject. But there is still a dead girl whose murder needs solving, in a foreign country that just wants the case to go away, so that they can release the politically connected Dutch Boy, to go merrily on his way while Natalee lies moldering under the ground, or as fish food in the sea. Just try putting yourself even in only one of her mom's shoes; would you not want the media as your one ally and would you not be pleased that they would be willing to help you? FOX is helping Natalee's mother because she needs the help.

My guess is most mishaps in foreign lands seldom get resolved, but maybe after others see how Natalee's mom Beth has fought in her daughter's name, they might do the same if presented with similar circumstances in a foreign land, themselves. As it is, I no longer want to go to a foreign land again, but it may be coming to us due to our lack of border security and bad immigration policies. But that's another subject.
