Where did I say I "th[ought] that Joran was not involved with her disappearance?" Please show me the post where I supposedly said that.
I think the problem here is not being precise with words. "Involved" is a word that's too imprecise on its own (as in the current MSM claims that the White House denied that Karl Rove was "involved" in discussions about Valerie Plame -- of course Rove was "involved" ...but he wasn't involved in leaking Plame's name or status).
What I have said, some time ago, was that my theory was that Joran and the Kalpoes might not be guilty of murder; and that it was possible that none of the three knew of her ultimate fate.
If you like, I could go on about various theories that could explain the lying without involvement in murder; but other people have expounded on the same theories before, and I don't want to go on too long.
As soon as it was found out that Joran and the brothers LIED about where they let Natalee off, it would be naive to even suggest they knew nothing about her fate. They had a good reason for not telling the truth, and a person doesn't need to be a "shrink" to figure that out. It's elementary.
If she died in Jorans care, HE KNEW. And if she were passed off to someone else, HE KNEW that as well. Joran is guilty of something, we just don't know what it is...yet.
He knows what happened to Natalee.
