LOL. I agree. I'd like to slap her silly.
And that reminds me: I noticed you specified that she's an Aruban .gov representative, which is good. Over the last few weeks I've gotten the impression that the Aruban government people are NOT the same as a typical member of the Aruban population. I think it would be nice if we didn't slam the Aruban people just because of their corrupt government. IMHO, we should keep the two separate, like you did.
I think I heard some spokesperson say that after a certain amount of time, they get moved to the prison.
Oh definately. I'm not ruling out kidnappers or abduction. Just trying to think of the biggest reasons.
See post #1943 where I talk about this. A girl from Aruba who posted here yesterday and before that wrote that "Lorenzo" (who the police talked with just before bringing in S. Croes) had Natalee in the basement of his house. Now we have not heard anything about Lorenzo and that story since.
They are all in prison now; they moved one yesterday and the other two today.
" That is why I laugh when I hear about the low crime rate...that's bogus. That prison is full - so who's in there? "
Excellent question, Eleni. Perhaps they are bringing in prisoners from other islands or even from Holland.
I was referring to the local jail in my earlier post. I'm assuming they only have one jail and the prison you mentioned. Especially since the popopulation is approx 70,000, I doubt they'd have more than one jail, but who knows with that place. lol

I know - we all need to get some real answers. Going over this with the same old conflicting information is exhausting, frustrating, maddening. You have been on here most of the day, don't know how you do it. I left a couple of times because I was becoming obssessed. And the stories about the way it is being handled by the Arubian govt./police raise my blood pressure! LOL
Tacky, Tackier, and Tackiest.
Are we sure the Montana neighborhood of Aruba is not just a glorified trailer court?

The authorities of the Kingdom of the Netherlands have agreed to the publication of the CPT's report on its visit to Aruba, together with the responses of the Government of Aruba.
Never without a drink- got Urine?
Aruba Prison Info (interesting)

I don't know, but that's a good question. Wish I knew.
Then look at the pic of "Urine" and the girl "Dirty Dancing." I wonder if the whole family is a bit perverted. Maybe sonny-boy picked up Natalee for Big Daddy?
Authorities say 3 men in Aruba are strongest lead in disappearance
Sunday, June 05, 2005
HANNAH WOLFSON News staff writer
PALM BEACH, Aruba - Answers in the disappearance of a Mountain Brook teen could be imminent, relatives and authorities said Saturday as the hunt for the missing honor student intensified.
In Aruba, Deputy Police Chief Gerold Dompig said investigators have stepped up their probe into the three men last seen with 18-year-old Natalee Holloway and hinted at a swift resolution in the case that has baffled authorities and grabbed international attention.
"I want everybody to hold their breaths for the next 24 hours," Dompig said Saturday. "There will be developments after this weekend."
A family spokeswoman in Birmingham said much the same.
"They're watching them very closely," Holloway's aunt, Marcia Twitty, said of the three men.
Ten more FBI agents arrived in Aruba Saturday, bringing the total to 13. Attorney General Caren Janssen said they were brought in for "technical assistance."
Also, FBI agents were asked to come to Aruba. A US Representative from AL made some pretty strong comments that one does not do under normal circumstances. Here are some interesting (disturbing) comments from U.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Vestavia Hills, U.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Vestavia Hills, said Saturday there were circumstances surrounding Holloway’s disappearance that warranted the FBI being heavily involved. He declined to give details. “The circumstances were disturbing,” said Bachus, who formally requested the FBI’s involvement. “I can’t get into it, but it’s something the family is aware of. There was an immediate recognition that this was not simply a teen who wandered off.”
Aruban authorities still aren't calling their probe a criminal investigation, and Dompig said Saturday they haven't ruled out scenarios that Holloway left on her own or was kidnapped.
"The rule of thumb would be that, as more days pass, the fear becomes greater that we're looking at a situation where we might not find a person alive anymore," he said. "We think something will happen soon. Whether it's a conclusion that's good for the family or less beneficial for the family, I don't know."
Holloway vanished six days ago while on a five-day graduation trip to the tranquil Caribbean island with about 124 graduates and seven chaperones - four men who teach and coach at the middle and high schools in Mountain Brook and three of the men's wives.
She was last seen shortly after 1 a.m. Monday getting into a gray Honda with three Aruban residents as they left Carlos'N Charlie's bar and restaurant. The three men - two Surinamese men and a native of the Netherlands, between the ages 18 to 25 - were questioned and released, but Dompig said Saturday the men are "persons of interest" and investigators' strongest lead to date. Dompig said authorities are reluctant to release too much information about the men, who said they dropped off Holloway at the Holiday Inn where she was staying. The deputy chief said investigators are holding information close to the vest to avoid scaring off anyone.
"Of course, we keep a close eye on them and when we feel comfortable, and that's going to be very soon, there may be some new developments," Dompig said.
Please just post links to the pictures. Some of still use a dial-up ISP and most of us have seen these pictures before.
Do you suppose the Mom knows her blouse is *See* thru? EEEKKK... what a site.
I think they have at least two jails. Seems I recall that Croes was held at a different jail than Sloot.
