I hope they're drawing the net as we FReep! :o)

[GB]

They do morning drive radio, like from 5 a.m. until 9. It's only a part-time gig for him, he's a professor at UAB in Birmingham.

[CitizenM]

I wouldn't let my daughters out of my sight.

The way I would feel also. Horrible things can happen in spite of the very best of precautions. We all know that. We hear about it every day. It is just, IMHO, in this case, precaution was thrown to the wind in lieu of allowing these kids to have some freedom. Not worth the price to me.

Teenagers not only are more naive than they believe, they also think they are invincible and nothing can harm them. That is not a condemnation, it is just they way most of them are at that age.

possibly another arrest not confirmed.

[hummingbird]

I seem to recall a thread around here in the not too distant past in which a FReeper w/some knowledge of the cult related the story that Scientology originated when Hubbard made a bet with some other guy (name would be recognized by most, but I don't recall it) that he could write a book of total horseshi'ite and be able to palm it off on enough people as 'religion' to get rich.

I've read something like that, too, only it wasn't on Free Republic. Was the other person Aleister Edward S. Crowley, British occultist (d. 1947)? If not Crowley, it was someone Hubbard and Crowley each had a connection with.

[Rippersnapper]

Probably the friend who owns the boat.

That would be a real good guess.

Did you hear Greta talking to the guy that was a friend of the brothers. He didn't know Sloot, never heard of him. When asked about drugs at CnC he said oh yeah! When asked what type he mentioned a couple and one of them was ecstasy.

[Andy'smom]

This guy arrested this morning, are they saying he's a Marriott employee? Sorry, I just got back from the store.

[Rippersnapper]

Wow. Sounds like a regular occurance: Girl disappears, ends up being found in a crack house.

They sure make it sound that way. Think it is mentioned in the brochure? /sarcasm

[CitizenM]

I haven't read that. He is supposedly someone van der Sloot is associated with. Not sure how closely, it was said "runs around with." Supposedly 26 yrs old, but another mentioned perhaps younger. Only the initials SGC have been given as identification for this person. I believe that is what has been said so far.

[theophilusscribe]

Yes, a beach bum type of person who wroked at Marriott and who held underground parties. Apparently, parties in Aruba must be cleared first with the authorities. The underground parties are unregulated.

I think there may have been an arrest after that guy, too. Someone heard that on the Aruban radio at SM. Will try to confirm.

hasibokos has ammend the site now and it says

UPDATE 29: Hasibokos.com has just received information and confirmation that there has been an additional arrest in the Natalee Holloway case. We can also inform that Hasibokos.com has received information that indicates that the Aruban court is leaning towards extending the arrest of the 3 young suspects without charging them officially for a crime (we are waiting for confirmation on this as the court session is still in progress)

[Andy'smom]

Thanks.

[Malichi]

Underground parties were mentioned earlier. Could Natalee and few of her classmates attended one of these parties their last night? I wonder if the surveillance videos at the Holiday Inn were checked to see if a small group of MBHS students came in between 1:30 am and sunrise. It's been said that this Joran hung out with the MBHS kids all week, maybe he and his friends talked a few of the kids into going to this Croes' place. Could be that an answer may be found in Alabama.

[cajungirl]

Teenage girls raised in good homes, protected and pretty sheltered, don't have that instinct one gets over time to watch over the shoulder, be careful who you talk to, don't accept men at face value and so on.

That said, I once, at age 59, came out of an airport late at night, tired from an all day flight, and got right into a white car that a man in a uniform was standing by, assumed it was a cab. I had a close call and only was unhurt because I put my hand in my carry bag searching for my cell phone when I realized his intentions. My cell was not there {packed} and I froze with my hand in the bag. He kept looking at me and then brought me to my daughters home unhurt. It was only later that I realized why I was unhurt,,he thought I was carrying!!! My son in law told me that.

THe point is, I am a safe, observant, somewhat paranoid travelor {my kids say I am paranoid} and I had lapse, a small one. And escaped by luck and I know it can happen to anyone.

[CitizenM]

iWow. Sounds like a regular occurance: Girl disappears, ends up being found in a crack house.p They sure make it sound that way. Think it is mentioned in the brochure? /sarcasm

One would think, then, in such a case as this that the known crack houses would be searched first. As well as rounding up all that inhabit those places. Wonder if that was done?

[spectre]

"I hope it won't be the same man who did the autopsy on Terri Schiavo ! Leni"

Take that kind of talk to a Terri thread, Leni. We don't need that division on this one..

[Rippersnapper]

Ok, what is up with the latest arrest? When the two security gurads were arrested their names were revealed and pictures of them. When the three guys were arrested their names were revealed and their pictures. But, now, with this 26 year old, we get initials, no name and as far as I know, no picture. Is this more cya, find someone else to pin the blame on so the judge in training's son can go free?

[tomkat]

No, that name doesn't ring bells.
Seems it was a writer or media person most would have heard of...

<sometimers strikes again>

[CitizenM]

IIRC I had read somewhere that Natalee was pretty well-traveled, having been in foreign countries before I believe. That does not make her any less vunerable, or any smarter, of course. But she was not sheltered to the point that she had not been exposed to some precautions.

However, in a group, with peer pressure to be a bit cavalier, anyone becomes very vunerable. She was an easy target because she willingly left her group of friends. I don't think she is to "blame" for what happened, but it just proves that unwise behavior can lead to tragedy, and one should never take chances in a strange place, with people who are not well known.

[Rippersnapper]

to change her major from Pre-Med to Law.

Make that INTERNATIONAL Law. Her mom was making a point and giving a jab at the same thime. :)
