I had presumed the girl skipped out on the return trip because she liked it better where she was.

Are you usually this unrealistic, even in your daily life? The girl was an honor student, 4.0 average, in a Bible study group, had just been awarded a scholarship. Based on that alone, does it sound like something that someone of that caliber would do? If she had a different history, then I could understand your presumption. But this was a very diligent girl and student. WHAT in that brief history could possibly lead you to believe that she just skipped out on the return trip? What flimsy piece of evidence do you have to support that ludicrous assumption? I don't mean to get on your case. I just want to know what you are basing your assumption on. We ALL speculate, but most of us base our speculation on the facts that are at hand, not on some WILD theory based on nothing.

And the answer is ...

Misogyny

"does it sound like something that someone of that caliber would do?"

What happens in Aruba, stays in Aruba.

Well, if she didn't do that then why did she go out and have sex with three men? Was she drinking? Was the rohypnol put in her COKE? Who saw her get in the car? Where were her girlfriends? Why didn't anybody get worried at the time? Was she having a falling out with the people on the trip? There are so many questions.

Have you been to a college lately? Many of those hooking up for sex with people they barely know are "straight A, honor student". Many of those who end up drinking nearly to death are honor students. Many kids, newly adults and on their own for the first time, decide to let loose or rebel for the first time in their lives. The accounts here indicate that she left the bar with three men she did not know, whether they were involved or not. Book smarts don't always equal street smarts or good judgment. Unfortunatly, one mistake can be fatal where in other circumstances it could merely be embarassing.

I think you're being a little hard on this poster. He admitted he's not usually afraid to be wrong. It seems to me like he was hoping that's all it was. Some people are natural optimists. I don't think you should get so offended by the post. I've seen a lot worse.

As I have posted, she did an incredibly stupid thing by going off with strangers to begin with. I suppose that makes me a misogynist, too.

I had presumed, not accused. Had I been in Aruba I would have helped search (I hope). However, the list of items you present is not sufficient to convince me that she is not fallen. How many stable, successful businessmen suddenly run out on their wives and families? Sometimes excelling brings pressures that we ordinary people can not understand.

Shalom.
