Yep. And I'll bet there are a lot here besides you and me who've done the same.
I understand being suspicious of newbies, but I think I've established my bona fides here (anybody else here remember bcjohnson? or the golden olden days of the pre-exodus, with mojo, trixie et al.?)
Even true newbies should be judged by their reasonableness, not by the fact that they signed up recently. But hey, that's just me.
No, but you just want to bash Jug!!! Incredible that you cannot put yourself in this man's position and have some empathy. HE was the one who witnessed the abnormal behavior by daddy sloot
I've watched Jug's interview again and you are really grasping in your criticism of Jug with your "my, my, my" comments. Give me a break! He was answering Greta's specific questions! Natalee's family has patiently waited for over three weeks for answers. They witnessed the arrogance of daddy sloot and have been the victims of the cruelty of silence regarding what happened to Natalee. Personally, I admire the restraint and civility Jug has shown and think he should be commended.
It's always seemed odd to me that he could get home from the casino so quickly and without the Twitty group passing him on the way.
I've just been told that daddy sloot has been arrested!!! Hopefully this investigation will start moving faster and something will break soon!
I think that was saying that the Holiday Inn is a few hundred meters down the beach from the Marriott and that he left to walk home in the other direction (distance unspecified.
If nothing else, Joran is a cad. (Although I personally think he's in this up to his ears.)
No, they aren't smart enough. But, the dad and son liked to gamble, and who knows if they had gambling debts, or to whom those debts would need to be paid.
Yee-haw!! Round 'em up, cowboys! Maybe they're not the Keystone Cops after all.
Are we the only ones watching the news, demkicker? Where is everyone?!
It's in Breaking, so I went over there....
I'm very sorry... I didn't mean any sort of attack. I was pointing out the attitude of the Aruban officials and their priorities. From our standpoint it's good that PVDS's career is probably shot, but in their eyes whatever happened to Natalie is probably less important than what it's doing to business.
I'm not sure why I related that story really... I suppose to illustrate how close to the surface the animal is in some men.
Please accept my apology.
Retread. And I'm no longer wonder why you won't say who you use to be.

Breaking News. Judge Paul Van Der Sloot, father of one of the suspects in the Aruba missing persons case has been arrested and is in police custody.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
Guess so, Nita! I've got to be away for a while myself, but will tune in later. I sure hope Joran decides to start spilling his guts now that daddy has been arrested!
I'm back! Just turned on the tv and saw the news!
Well, it happened sooner than I thought. Actually didn't even think Papa would be picked up.
This should be interesting.
Greta: Either he will be released tonight at 8pm, or he will be held for the next 8 days. Up to the prosecutor.
Was just reading over on courttv. Someone reported that Greta said she went to the VDS house this morning and no one was home. She went back there a little while ago, and the house is boarded up now!

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. IMHO, Greta's role is first & foremost a journalist, and professional journalists are supposed to present both sides. She would have been crazy to pass up that exclusive interview with the Snoots.
FWIW, Sheperd just asked her "live" on TV what her next step this afternoon was going to be...where was she headed after she was done with their interview. Greta hesitated a second, then said "I'm not going to answer that because I don't want to tip off CNN." She said that yesterday (or this morning?), the CNN people showed up at her location 30 minutes after she got there (wherever that was. It was unclear but I think she was referring to the Snoot...[freudian slip]... interview.)
Thanks for responding and speaking up.
" Where is everyone?"
Working.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I've always liked and admired your posts.
Maybe they're not the Keystone Cops after all.

Glad to see your comment. I got off track on a breaking news item and made the same remark, which got me smacked.
We have been so starved for facts from the Aruba investigators - that we have substituted our own voices.
Silence invites noise.
Natalee is still lost - everything else is redundant.
