To be honest Pepper777, I'm not really up on the Shango part of this story. I've heard a little about it. There was a whole lot of interpretation going on during a time when I was really bogged down with work, so I missed most of that.
Have you seen the Code Talker's Threads (http://www.scaredmonkeys.net/viewtopic.php?t=1640 ) at Scared Monkeys? I found the following post there . . .

I have followed the codetalkers thread and was around when Shango was posting his. One thing I found interesting that I haven't heard mention alot was in the one thread where Shango says " the dicemen knew Mary"
"Mary rolled , the dicemen rolled" I am not sure how much info has been givin to the FBI or the family about the Shango posts but if these "dicemen' are actual dice rollers. I wonder who might have been at the dice tables at any given time while Natalee was in the casinos that could have saw her and was more than just interested in a casual conversation. The blackjack tables are most often times right near the craps tables. These persons could very well be the reason that Natalee disappeared. Maybe Joran and the brothers were at the Raquetball club handing Natalee of and were there awaiting to get paid. I have always thought the dicemen part of the code was relevant now I think it might be very important to find out who was at the craps tables and could have known Natalee and arranged her disappearance if she is indeed missing.

Shango kept saying "Follow the music"
He also kept referring to the "Palace"
If you google "Aruba Palace"
You get this:

Driving my Torino to the discotheque lights
The Aruba Palace is the place tonight
Open the door and what do I see?
A lot of white girls trying to Smurf like me
The Aruba Palace Casino (Old Americana Aruba Hotel)
it is now the Allegro Hotel.
Mary never heard the bouy toll (she wasn't at the beach)
Ask the men who play dice and "roll" (she was at the Allegro)
From your post-->
"Maybe Joran and the brothers were at the Raquetball club handing Natalee of and were there awaiting to get paid.

The above quote is just as possible as any other theory in this mysterious case. I've read some of the Codetalker's threads at SM. They are definately interesting.
Running through the back of mind since I started following this has been this possibility. There is enough corruption and apparently fear on the Island to make a lot of people walk the way they are told. The cast of characters seem to me to be held together by dark secrets than a single-minded plan to abduct a young American. Nuts as that seems it hasn't struck me as any more nuts than believing PVDS, a seemingly lowly bureaucrat could hold off the FBI, the PM in Aruba and Dutch authorities for weeks in an effort to protect his teenage son.
