I still am waiting to hear more of Frances Ellen Byrd who in a Scarborough interview stated that she saw Natalee at the hotel after they had left C&C at 1ish a.m. on 5/30.
Sorry you're so disappointed with my post. I knew I wasn't posting anything earth shattering or necessarily new, but that's the point. What we've all known has been "posted in articles and threads", not necessarily heard on a popular radio program. It's high time, IMO, for some outspoken condemnation of the Aruban authorities for their incompetency.
Out of respect for NH's parents and fear of making a bad situation even worse, criticism has pretty well been kept in check. Now that the judge released PVDS, it appears that the gloves are finally coming off. It's obvious that NH's parents & family are finally so fed up that they're no longer bothering keeping up the pretense of their 'confidence' in this pathetic investigation.
IMHO, this is what the powers-that-be in Aruba are waiting on... Dragging this thing out until it is no longer in the US news---then they can dispose of the matter as they see fit. They just had no idea it would get this much attention from US media.
No, not in name only. M Croes, prosecutor spokes person stated that they felt as if they had enough on PVDS to at least hold him for another 8 days. However the judge did not. PVDS is still considered a suspect and prosecutors are searching for more evidence, something substancial. Possibility that he may be picked up again if more sufficient evidence is found.
US media regulates what's on-air &
what's not.
Over at CTV, someone is posting that the reason no media is reporting on the quarry search is because they are being held back from the site. Cell phones and other equipment messes up the divers talking to each other or some such thing. This poster gave no link. Possibly just another rumor.....
That sounds resonable though
What I meant is, they released Joran, Deepak and Satish that first time, hours after the disappearance, because they had NO idea the media firestorm in the U.S. I think they thought this could be dealt with within the local "good old boy" network. Tourist locales typically have an ambivalence toward tourists, especially foreigners, and certainly in this third world country wouldn't consider her life worth the careers and reps of locals.
She was surely wearing shoes and a dress though. Maybe she had more than one purse.
I've read a description of what she was wearing that night & seen a photo floating around of her in the outfit. Since they were going out drinking & dancing, would not surprise me if she didn't take a purse. I never carry a purse when we go out.
Kansas now has the death penalty, but there is a clause(grandfather) that keeps BTK from it's embrace.NSNR
I'm trying to find out where the info came from....and I ooops! Not CTV....Websleuths
they are being held back from the site.
Wonder why they feel they need to be NEAR the site to RE PORT that there is a search going on.......and cell phones and other equipment not allowed near the site.
I don't know.....no confirmation on where this report came from, so might be yet another dastardly rumor!
Its not your post that I'm disappointed in.
Its my disdain for Geraldo.
Geraldo did such a poor job reporting yesterday that the crew on Fox & Friends made light of him this morning.
IMHO Aruba LE, news media, spokespeople have been critized all along by everyone except the Twitty's and Holloways for the first couple of weeks.
They have been so critized at this point that this morning on Fox and Friends one of the Aruban reporters displayed that she was not interested in talking in an interview. It was pretty ugly.
I wonder how they [cadaver dogs] are trained for this task.
Somehow reputations no matter how bad are rehabilitated, it seems.
Heck, the world's most notorious philanderer, who taught children that oral sex isn't really sex, was on stage with the world's most famous evangelist this weekend.
So do I. Also, when I travel. I ususally take a couple of bags. I'll bet, like me, you also wear shoes!!!
LOL
I know....I was just on that
thread..lol
Fox needs to yank Geraldo off the island and keep him off the island. He is making the situation worse. You can tell the Twitty's do not care for him also.
Aruban reporters displayed that she was not interested in talking in an interview. It was pretty ugly.
A gag order from the 'missed the plane' judge?
