Venezuela is only 15 miles from Aruba. I guess I'm a hopeless optimist, but I keep thinking she was sold...As if that's something to hope for :o(
It's a wide open area down there even though it's "close" to Venezuela. People think that the Caribbean basin is an easily traveled region, but it's vast. And somebody who wants to hide can just island hop and negotiate a price easily. And once somebody gets into Venezuela you can be sure it's next to impossible to be found.
