And imagine that...the one who was romantically involved is the son of a Dutch justice offical.
Hmmmm...........where are the covers?
Bonnie said:And apparently the two ex security guards have alibis that may check out and they may be released.
It's sounding like this was a case of sex gone bad with a drunk helpless young woman and rather than face rape charges and the wrath of dad these boys got rid of her?? Of course this is all supposition????
GotZoom said:Of course...but where? No evidence anywhere? I saw last night where the Aruban officials asked the US FBI to send their divers to help. However, once the divers showed up, the local investigators never told them where to dive.
Not even in the place she was last known to be.
Our FBI divers left the island without ever setting foot in the water.
I had a scary thought. She gets "sold" across the water to Colombia/Venezuela. They sell her to .....God forbid...terrorists.
We get a video from Al Qaeda showing a new U.S. hostage. Her.
Can you imagine the fear and controversy that would cause?

Regular readers know I don't think much of unfounded race-card politicking and class warfare-ism. But I do believe that race and class play a role in elevating some of these missing girl stories above others. That is a damned shame. Robinson believes this is an indictment against American society at large. But, tellingly, he says nothing about the hypocrisy of so many diversity-preaching, social engineering champions in the MSM--who, in the end, are "greedy" profit-seekers just like all the other corporate institutions in America they regularly attack.
I'm not sure, though, how much race is a factor relative to others. Would an overweight, unattractive white girl who went missing get preference over a Tyra Banks-look-a-like?
As for class, I think it may be a significant factor not so much because of prejudice, but because of the more mundane concerns of producing 24/7 cable TV. Missing girls from broken homes may be less likely to have an army of relatives and friends who can fill airtime night after night. (Actually, I can think of a few recent, highly-publicized cases off the top of my head that undermine this argument: the Jessica Lunsford and Sarah Lunde murders).
Whatever the reasons these missing pretty white girl cases get flogged, I find the whole Missing Pretty Girl Sndrome disturbing (and that's coming from someone who works for FNC). I think we should be paying a hell of a lot more attention to Lodi and Tampa and Denver than Aruba.
Commenter Hube at La Shawn Barber's speaks for me:
I couldnÂ’t care less what color these missing women are. Who the hell cares to be updated EVERY dang hour upon hour on cable news about it? ItÂ’s get[ting] absolutely ridiculous.
What do you think?
Kathianne said:of these cases of pretty white girls gone missing. Not to say that it isn't of the upmost importance to their friends and family, but so too are all those never covered. At the site there are lots of links and quotes:

Joz said::kiss2:
For the "kiddo" remark.....not the points.
archangel said:A search of the Marriot Hotel just blocks down the street from the Holiday Inn where Natalee Holloway was registered is now being conducted...The two brothers admitted that they lied about dropping Natalee off at the Holiday Inn and pointing the finger at the two Security Guards...they now are saying that they dropped Natalee and the Dutch boy off at the Marriot Hotel...very interesting development here.....
krisy said:Maybe they are finally getting somewhere. When it was reported that the three that said they went to the beach with her were starting to tell different stories,I figured someone would crack soon. I was hoping that it was the FBI doing the questioning.
archangel said:Thats a big 10-4 Krissy!
Bonnie said:But I would think the FBI would be able to get seventeen year old boys to crack sooner than this, of course that's just armchair quarterbacking on my part.
