Natalee HollowayUpdate

Information came in approximately 3 hours ago that it was anticipated the body of Natalee Holloway would likely be found within 24 hours - nothing to substantiate why was given at the time.

SInce I've learned that along with the search at the Marriot, there is reportedly was a dive taking place near where the the place of "disapearance."

Also I learned there were some reports of a new team of search dogs came in through the airport this AM. I have not been able to substantiate that as of now.

this is so sad. :(

I quess its all over for good news for her parents. My prayers are for them during this time

For the parents, family and friends sake; I am hoping there is an end to this nightmare. It will be unfortunate of the outcome if she is not found alive but...they can "go home" knowing it's "over!!" Those boys will get what is coming to them.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of them! God bless...

I was on the Scared Monkeys site and someone there said her mom was near the Marriott earlier going from house to house - I feel so much for this family.

Honestly...the mere thought of what might have happened to her...what I think happened to her...disgusts me. I cant stop thinking of what I would do if she were my own sister..or friend. And I think...considering it that much...kinda makes it so...I mean, I react and feel...like she was my own sister. Makes me angry..and hurt. I really feel for her family...and feel anger at anyone who might have done something evil here.

Hi,
I'm Aruban, I was near the Marriott and there's a lot of searching going on.
I'm very upset for her and her family. But I'm also very angry, because these boys harmed or did something to a person. I hope that our Prime Minister stick to his word "that nobody is above the law". Because if these guys did something to harm her. I want them to rot in prison forever and ever!

I have the same thoughts about feeling like Natalee is my friend. My heart is just breaking. I feel so helpless and want desperately to hug her mother and just be near her loved ones to offer support. It just sickens me to think about what has happened to her. I have so much anger towards these three boys. They all know what happened to her. Even if they weren't all involved in hurting her, they all know what happened. If a complete stranger can have such strong feelings about Natalee being in this situation, you can only imagine what her mother is going through. I hope we never have to.

I cannot believe this crap. It is SO obvious that these boys are being protected. I mean c'mon now, they have changed their stories like 3 times now, and in the process they have gotten 2 innocent people arrested. It is ridiculous. I do not think the Arubian police are pressing them at all for information. Even that Mickey John's mom (the security guard who was arrested) said in a television interview that she doesn't understand why the police aren't pressing these boys and why they are searching in the areas they are searching. Something seems a little fishy to me. I bet anything these boys get off scott free. And that is so wrong. I pray everyday that they will find Natalee. God bless her and her family. As for the low life creeps that did something with her and are lying their asses off, I hope you burn in hell.

Does anyone know who the gray honda actually belonged to? I thought I remember reading that it belonged to the Dutch boy and if so why did the Surinamese boys drop him off. This whole investigation thing is going NOWHERE. Unfortunately all three boys were released last week after questioning and were able to "clean up" and get their act together. I fear Natalee may never be recovered.

I have a 17 year old daughter and i pray that i never have to endure the pain, anguish, and frustration that the mother beth has had to endure,. Young vandersloot is guilty as far i'm concerne, and maybe justice will be done, but i really wonder how much power his pappa has there. my thoughts and prayers to the hollaway family.

[ellen leach]

that Vandersloot brat's arrogant rotten attitude makes me violently ill. I was not there when it happened, but I can almost bet 2 held natalie down while one raped her and they took turns with her. I can bet they drugged her and got her drunk, had their way with her, then killed her. that Vandersloot and his cronies should fry. sickening pukes.

[Barbara]

Why dont the boys just fess up? somebody is covering for them, that i would not hope happen in the states.but im sure it does.i pray every day somebody will find here,and i pray for all family members, please somebody give info or find her.

[Amy]

Finally some closure for the Hollaway family. I am hoping in Aruba that the law will be enforced to the fullest on all parties involved, including Paul Van Der Sloot. My heart breaks for Natalee's mom and the persistance she and Natalee's dad, not to mention the volenteers and other family members have had through out the long 3 months this investigation has been going on. God Bless them!
