Aruban radio station Top95 is reportedly preparing Arubans for the worst possible announcement in the Natalee Holloway case.

Sources say the three boys are now before a judge to extend their detention and the location of the body is as yet unconfirmed.

Look also at www.arubadag.com, it has all arubian media on the right corner.
I want to state that the last 3 men arrested are NOT Arubians. The main suspect is a Duthman, of 17 year living a couple of years in Aruba. And the other 2 are Suriman. Please keep this in mind because I do belief that Arubians do know the consequence of harming a tourist.

What a joke.

Well, that marks off Aruba on any travel plans.

Glad to see things are working so well.

[bird]

He, duck guess you are right. Next time book to the moon, because on earth you will not find a save place

[betje]

Hey duck stay were you are, we don't need you here in Aruba.

genoeg jongens, we zullen vele toffe uren voor ons hebben,en zij ook, we moeten denken aan hoe onze ouders ons hebben opgedracht

For all the reaction to these unfortunate circumstances, the lack of compassion(or even acknowledgment)in the Dutch media may be the most profound (and sad)commentary of all. I have observed an outpouring of (seemingly) genuine concern for Natalee by the native Aruban population. Regardless, can the Dutch not even fake a trivial amount of human emotion for the sake of goodwill? ...pathetic

[glenda]

Ik ben blij dat de bedoeling is ons baranca te verdedigen maar gedraag je netjes

[glenda]

my excuses, my intention is only to tell then that we have to remember how our parents brought us up and we have to behave ourselfs

[Antoine]

Hey Duck have you been to the Island, it's a beautiful place with a few ugly spots, its people are great with a few not so great, and the police are doing the best they can do, under a lot of pressure, nationally and internationally. So, where else will you go that would be any different under the circumstances. Give the Arubans time, the time needed and they will do what needs to be done.

May Natalee rest in peace

Glenda,

I'm glad you were able to remove the silver spoon from your mouth long enough to preach about family values...coming from such a uniquely-deprived model population...right?

[glenda]

yes

[pseudonymous 1]

I think I should have left well enough alone. Leave it to me to rile the "senstive" Dutch. With all your emotion, it's hard to believe that you couldn't conjure enough compassion to extend the victim courtesy enough to refrain from the hindsight-preaching for an Aruban minute. I think I liked it better when the Dutch were fully silent.

[glenda]

I will be silent on 6.00 o'clock when i'am in the church

[pseudonymous 1]

Glenda,

I can only hope that's a sincere statement. It would be refreshing news to hear that a Dutch citizen cares enough to pay proper respect to the victim(despite her seemingly reviled status as a US citzen)

[Mirm]

"Regardless, can the Dutch not even fake a trivial amount of human emotion for the sake of goodwill? ...pathetic"
Excuse me?!
If Terry Schiavo would still be alive and Sadam still on the run She would not be in the US media either.... now THAT is sad!
Aruba is a former Dutch Colony and the Dutch
don't have much to do with it.

FYI: It is in the news - maybe not to the extend that you would like to see it.
If Americans commit a crime abroad ... is it in the news in the USA?

Think before you write something.

My thought go out to friends and family members of the victim.

[glenda]

My feeling is sincere, we will have on all the churches on the island a service to pray for Natalee today. And i'am an Aruban, We are very sad this has happend and we feel for her family, we all have children

[pseudonymous 1]

Mirm,

Think b4 I talk? ...you mean buy into the political propaganda you're peddling in the middle of such tragic circumstances. Nice choice of venue. Shouldn't you be venting your America-envy in a forum more prone to be occupied by the brain-washable?

[pseudonymous 1]

Then I sincerely apologize Glenda...I misunderstood where you where coming from. It was my intention to bring to light the collective compassion I've witnessed from the NATIVE Aruban population. It is something conspicuously absent in the Dutch media. I hope that Americans respond in kind (to the good nature of the Arubian population) by making it a priority vacation destination.

[Diane]

My most memorable vacation was spent in Aruba. My husband and I were newly married and this was our first big trip. We met the Mayor's son at the carnival and he invited us home to dinner, right there on the spot. We wound up cancelling our rental car because the people of Aruba would pull over and ask us if we needed a ride when we walked down the road.I know that sounds naive under the circumstances, but these are the most warm lovely people you will ever run into. I doubt this young man was raised on the island and even so to suggest he represents the Arubian people is insulting. Peace to all the families and people involved.

[pseudonymous1]

Then I sincerely apologize, Glenda. I misunderstood where you where coming from. I only meant to bring light to the collective compassion demonstrated by the NATIVE Arubian population. It is something conspicuously absent in the Dutch reporting of events (when even reported at all). My hope is that Americans respond in kind (to the Arubian generosity) and make a Aruba a priority vacation destination. Arubans do not deserve to be hurt from this.

[pseudonymous1]

Sorry, my "I" is stuck, much like Mirm's Dutch nose (up in the air).

I thank you that you understand.
We have to go now

[dee Worta]

I will not be going to Aruba. I don't trust those people, how's that for stating my opinion...good ol' land of the free... is where I want to be!

[Peter]

Whenever there is a press conference again you can go to http://www.arubadag.com and listen to the many radio statuions available from Aruba. I would recommend TOP FM but if crowded you can try the other ones on the http://www.arubadag.com

At the moment there is no news, but they suspect there will be a new press conference at either 08:00 or 09:00PM local Arubian time.

So you better stay tuned

[Peter]

Let me try the link again: Arubadag

Typical Aruban reaction. We pay over 250 million dollars a year to sustain the 100.000 inhabitants. And as a thanks they put the blame on The Dutch.

[betje]

Dear Rob, one of your habitants is involved in this case, its your oblication to supstane Aruba.
Owening Aruba is not for free, Aruba is a paradise. So thats why we react like this. Please
tell your kind to get off the island. If you and your kind where not on our beatifull island maybe this tragic would not have happend. Rember one of them was a dutch person like you!!!

[Duck]

The Prime Minister is a joke.

A tactical decision to let the last three seen with her
go home and ....huh? What a joke.

Hey Aruba? Remember Grenada? As far as I'm concerned,
tell everybody in Aruba to find her,put two and two together, you've got 5 more days, or we're rerouting the USS Toby Keith and we'll do it ourselves. Jesus Christ.

And tell your people to shut up about your economy and tourism. Nobody here cares about it.

Somebody give her mother the microphone and let her
talk all she wants to. She's the only one who seems focused on what she's supposed to be doing, other than that Chris LeJeuz who seems to understand something and frankly turns me on just more than a little bit because he is doing. his. job.

Are there any other men down there that know how to do anything? Yeah? Well have them get in touch with someone from this girl's family on a regular basis
and let them know what's going on. If that's not too much trouble.

Things are getting pretty bad when all we've got to
send down there to help these people is Geraldo, but
hey at least he's doing something, which is more than
I can say for Condoleeza Rice and what used to be the state department, but I guess they're all busy trying to figure out what in the hell they're doing in making the war we're fighting for Halliburton spiral
out of the success it's been so far.

Nobody cares about how Aruba has a local government, blah blah and we have to do stuff with the Dutch thing yam yam. If you can't figure out that if you have tourists down there regular like, you're going to need a police department,things might happen and
nobody is buying the thing that you don't have much crime and so what? You've got some now. Read a book about how you need to have "plans" for things that might happen when you have a country.
If you need help,
call Queen Beatrix and tell her to get
her rich royal
bottom down there pronto.

[Ronny]

Stop, youdon't know Aruba. Fuck you all.

[Marie Walsh]

I have been to Aruba three times. I took my 15 year old son there in 1990. We were there from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. As we walked along the beach in the morning, the Arubians had tents up, because they were going to celebrate Easter Sunday and the week before "on the beach" As we walked by they were waving to us and actually invited us in to join them. I have the fondest memories of my vacations in Aruba and I can't wait to go back to enjoy the beautiful island, the Divi Divi trees and shopping and the people, most of all the people.

[mark]

Well Marie im happy you would like to return to Aruba, your just another one of those idiotic Americans that stick their noses in the air and pretend that everything is hunky, you were lucky your 15 year old or yourself didn't make a few friends there and drive you off and murder you or your son. Like what apparently has happened to this poor nieve girl and her forever grieving family. Americans better wake up and take notice we are not liked in most countries. I have seen them get their heads cutoff, I have seen them go into other countries to fight for a people that hates and loathes them, we call them insurgents or terrorists but in plain language they are arabs. Its not worth the loss of one American life, Lets get our people home and lets stay home. Our Country is one of the most beautiful in the world, You could vacation every year and never be able to see all the beauty. So lets shut our borders and stay at home, And if any one should try and invade ill be one of the first to protect (OUR COUNTRY)

[Peter]

we call them insurgents or terrorists but in plain language they are arabs.....???

Mark..if you do not know the difference between Aruba and Arabs, you better be quit and don't show the world how dumb you are.

It is obvious you do not have a clue what is going on.

To just insult someone else because he is giving his honest opinion based on actually being on Aruba in the past and knowing the islanders and telling others his positive experiences and not jumping in with your negative view, and you have never been there so you don't know....

your insult to him is very cheap, hope when you finished school, that they could have educate the silly things out of your head.

Hope next time you comment, you know at least more than you showd us now.

Maybe you should ask your mom or dad to review your next post and let them give you some good parental advice.

[Peter]

he must be she

The parents of Joran are need to be held responsible for their sons obvious "give me everything I want" approach to life and their obvious "lets hide our head in the sand" raising of their spoiled offspring. How many 17 year olds do you know that have an apartment paid for them by mom and dad, a jeep, their own website that hails his sexual conquests, carte blanche access to adult casino's and all the booze and drugs mom and dad can afford on his allowance (or more likely a monthly stipend just to leave his parents alone). The end result; an overgrown silver spoon fed baby who has little respect for life and who probably under the influence, was showing off for his friends and then cowardly took advantage of a young drunk naive girl, probably raping her, sharing her with his friends and eventually pushing her into the ocean just watching as she drowned. Of course Judge Daddy, being an absentee dad gets and opportunity to squelch all those years of guilt by being there just this one time and providing his little brat and his cohorts with all the arubian legal advice they needed, including finding lawyers for the two surinamese weaklings.

It's beyond obvious that the arubian police did not follow their own routine investigative procedures and allowed Paulus, his son and fellow perpetrators ample time to lawyer up and exceptional privileges that placed above the law.

I for one do not blame the arubian people, because if these elitists can get away with this atrocity while the entire world watches, imagine what abuses happen to ordinary folk when the camera's are turned off.

I am appalled that three men can go free just because the father of one of them has some legal background and obvious connections to some leaders. These three have admitted to raping this young woman and "now something bad happened to Natalee" Rape is a crime, something they admit to while she was unconcious. The outrage everyone feels is for the obvious coverup of this crime. We will scream for justice for this young american, and wont stop till these criminals are behind bars. Real bars not ones the aruban judges say they will do,but the second Beth Holloway Twitty leaves the island these judges reverse the decisions. Disgusting behavior from judges who are supposed to uphold the law. If that can happen to an american imagine the c0rroptness that goes on on the island that is never reported. Arubans need to demand justice along with the Americans in order to protect thier own families in the future.. Bashing BHT will get no-one anywhere,she is just a grieving yet very courageous mother who will do right by her daughters name. Natalee deserves that. WE should all be behind BHT in that endeavor for the sake of decency and humanity.
