I can READ your posts, remember? You've done nothing except trash Jug since you started talking about him.
And why does it appear to bother you so much that he has MONEY???
What was your previous screenname?
Greta is one clever lady lawyer. Her actions down in Aruba have been gutsy and breathtaking. Let's hope and pray she pries the truth out of this bunch. As for the average Aruban being sick and tired of this mess and American bullying media, that's understandable...from their point of view N's disappearance puts their livelihood in jeopardy. But if you asked them what they'd like to happen if one of their children disappeared, they'd probably admit they'd act like N's mom.
Oh, boy, that is depressing news. Hope it doesn't mean that the Aruban authorities plan to close up shop and release these 'suspects'. I'm pinning a lot of faith and hope on the Texas search team. It's said that of more than 4000 searches, they have a 70 per cent success rate.
I have not trashed Jug, I have been critical of his approach. Did you see last night's interview?
If you want proof, suffice it to say that my original registry here dates from the era of bcjohnson, a dear friend whom I continue to mourn since his death several years ago.
Excellent response Elli1. Welcome to (Club Spec)
I like your candor and thorough analysis of the present situation in Aruba. I do not know your profession, but I am confident you are one of the best in that career.
I think Durbin needs to go handle this investigation. Rest assured the Hollways would suddenly become the perps per Chief Durbin. Thanks for that superb response. NSNR
Yes, I did; and he looked like a father who is furious because he knows he's being sandbagged.
I suppose he should just sit back and take it, but people are LYING about him, his family, and his daughter.
And you haven't just been critical of his approach; you made smary remarks about his "money" and his "power" back in Alabama, even saying something about him "being used to getting his way."
UNNECESSARY.
Bears repeating.
Oh, please; people have to take a number to "come after" me.
I suppose you're have to earn back any credibility you might have had unless you devulge who you were.
Agree with your post about possible reaction if someone or a gang showed up at my home at 3 am, banging on the gate, demanding to get in. But a girl was missing. It's not just, 'oh, your son was in a bar fight, he knocked my kid's front tooth out' sort of thing. A girl was missing. That would have had me pulling on street clothes and joining in to help any way I could. J's father did go look for him, etc., but it would have been smart of the v.d.S's to help search the island, whether they believed J was involved or not.
Thanks, Howlin. I did indeed catch up, but that never lasts long on this thread :)
Re: Natalee's family going to the VDS house at 3am, the time factor was critical. If there was a chance that Natalee was still alive, every moment counted and waiting until a more "appropriate" hour was not an option.

This was posted on Riehl today.
This is what the latest we got from a reporter who is known on the island to get confidential info from his friends in the police department.
1. All three guys agreed they left JVDS and NH near the Marriot on that night.
2. JVDS testified that he and NH went for a swim and after that whey walked bak to the hotel, where he walked home and NH to Holiday Inn, which is just a few 100 meters away. Easiest if you walk on the beach, there is a walkway connecting all hotels from the beach area. He insists he left her there.
3. The DJ was suspected because he told an friend erlier that he was asked to use his boat (not the TATTOO) but a smaller vessel to dump something in the sea. That's why when inteviewed he said that he saw the guys leaving the girl at the HI, but when this story came apart, they arrested him the next day.
So, we look out after our own. What of it?
I kinda' feel the same way, too. Maybe protecting his son in order to protect his judicial aspirations?
Thanks, v.
You're overestimating yourself there, Howlin. I was not referring to YOU as someone who "came after" me. (As a matter of fact, I don't remember the screennames of the couple of posters who, figuratively at least, stalked and harassed me. Nor even the subjects of the threads where that occurred. I do remember it was unpleasant and I don't want to invite it to happen again.)
I suppose you're have to earn back any credibility you might have had unless you devulge who you were.
If you're the self-appointed credibility policewoman here, whoa Nellie. I guess I'm in big trouble.
Btw, do you remember bcjohnson? If not, I guess my mentioning him would mean nothing to you.
The ex FBI special agent was asked that on Fox this am, how could a 17 year-old hold out so long if he was guilty? The agent shrugged and said that was puzzling, and maybe it was time for the Aruban LE to stop playing bad cop and start with the good cop stuff...make friends with him and break him down.
