"We have a long way to go."
"You must give me a chance."
Ok... lets say Natalee was still alive, but out cold and Joran did not know how to get her back to the hotel. He starts calling ariund trying to find someone he knows to help him. He ends up calling dad, he comes and gets both of them. They put Natalee in the car and Dad decides to take Joran home first so he can get to bed and to school in the morning. Dad tells Joran that he will take Natalee back to the hotel strip area to find out where what hotel she is staying at (maybe he told Joran he was taking her back to the Holiday Inn).
Daddy decided to take advantage of this pass out young lady and he ends up killing her (or he discovers she is dead after he drops Joran off at home).
Daddy may have never came back home by time Joran had to catch the bus for school. (Remember Daddy cannot remember much about that morning, if went to work, if took Joran to school, if he woke up Joran for school)
They way I see it PVDS to me is more a suspect than the brothers are. He is at the same level as Joran.
PVDS may be getting special treatment since LE does not have anything positive on him yet. - Gotta go
