Beth's husband and some men friends of his from Alabama hit the ground running the second they arrived on Aruba. Apparently they questioned some who were aware of who Natalee was last seen with. They found out who and where his family was and went looking for them. They all as a group confronted the father and son as soon as they tracked them down. I believe, but might have misremembered, that they found them in a Casino, after first having looked for them at their home. Beth was along on this mission, too. This family never waited for the police to do anything...
But I've never heardd Beth or Jug
tell it that way. They said
they (as a group) went straight
to the VDS house @ 3 AM.
Never mentioned finding the VDS
at a casino first.
