Here's my theory -

1. Shortly before 3:00 AM JvdS calls Pvds to come to McD's (maybe to help solve a problem?)
2. 3:00 AM PvdS arrives at McD's
3. Between 3:00 AM and 3:45 AM PvdS make three cash withdrawals at the ATM across the street from McD's (some problems take $$$ to solve)
4. 6:30 AM a call is made to the Tattoo DJ/water taxi driver (I wonder if there were prior calls to him between 3:00 and 3:45, perhaps from a pay phone at McD's or some other party's cell phone, to negotiate the cost of solving JvdS's problem)

My $.02...

Sounds reasonable to me. The Croes guy could easily fess up and burn all of them. I'm thinking he'll be the first to spill his guts if they did dump Natalee's body in the water. Doesn't sound like the Dutch judicial system will make any types of plea bargains. I'd think that would be very helpful about now.
