To: Toespi
But I do know that the tactics used that morning by Jug and friends did not advance their cause. During the interview, I found Jug Twitty to be petty and self-absorbed which was my observation and opinion and frankly, I am ususally right.

More proof that you don't know what you're talking about, but please don't take that as 'a personal attack'. First of all, the Twitty's didn't do anything to hurt 'their cause'. If it weren't for them going to the VDS's house when they arrived in Aruba, the VDSs would have likely slipped through all legal scrutiny regarding Natalee.

Undoubtedly, you don't know that the Aruban authorities didn't even bother interviewing or investigating who Natalee was last seen with until the Twitty's got to Aruba and exposed their inept 'non-investigation'. Thankfully, the media picked up the story and only because of world-wide exposure did the Arubans start attempting to appear as though they were trying to find out what happened to Natalee. Do you comprende', Toespi?

It was Natalee's friends & chaperones who reported to police who Natalee was last seen with, identifying Joran. The police and the Twitty's had been told they witnessed her leave with Joran & the Kalpoes. But the authorities didn't even bother to collaborate and follow up to verify that information! Do you comprende', Toespi?

Once Natalee was reported missing, everyone expected the authorities to follow up and bring in the people who were last seen with her for questioning, but NOOOOOOO. The Dutch good ole boy system proved to be alive and well in Aruba. Nothing happened until Beth and Jug got to Aruba early the next morning and decided to go ask questions themselves. Sure enough, Joran was out again on a school night and it was 3:00 a.m. Do you comprende', Toespi?

PVDS made a phone call and Joran said he was at a casino. When the Twittys and friends went there to talk with him, he wasn't there. Finally, when the Twittys got to speak with Joran, his father kept interrupting, got rude and condesending and told the Twittys, "You are not in the U.S." while repeatedly telling Joran to shut up and not say anything in response to the Twitty's questions. Such a nice guy, huh, Toespi? Parents arrive frantic to ask questions of the last person their missing daughter was seen with and the dad is being an asshole, ordering his son not to say anything or give any information! Do you comprende', Toespi?

In closing, I'll say that your flippant statement regarding the Twittys makes my blood boil. Obviously you haven't kept up with this story or you wouldn't make such an insensitive remark. Must be nice to sit in your velvet chair and criticize the Twittys without knowing all of the facts. I have repeatedly watched Jug Twitty's interview, and the last words I'd use to describe him would be petty and self-absorbed. I do have empathy and compassion for the family having to endure the worst possible nightmare while in a foreign country. It has to be pure torture watching one of the most inept 'investigations' in modern history take place while feeling helpless and wanting justice. Hopefully, they'll be spared reading remarks like yours.

Thank you!

You said what I wanted to say but in a much more concise way than I could have.

You are absolutely right. Also, if the Twitty's had not showed up when they did and started asking questions, this may not have become a big media story. They did a great job of organizing people. The two black security guards would also probably still be in jail too. God forbid that they would be blamed for this while Urine walks.
