On Another Topic

I meant to introduce some of my new readers to Dr. Rusty Shackleford the other day. Rusty specializes in covering the war on terror and takes aim today at someone with whom he strongly disagrees - another blogger. He has a graphic photo warning up, as the post deals with the definition of terror - particularly as regards Saddam Hussein. You can find Rusty's post here if the topic is of interest to you.

There will be an update from Aruba tonight.

Dan, copying the following from the previous thread. Have you heard anything about this?

MSNBC reported that Joran has changed his story and it now matches the Kalpoe brothers' story. He now says the two brothers did drop him and Natalee off at a spot near the Marriott. No elaboration on that story as to what else Joran said.

I ask again,if this story is true,how did Joran get home or even how was he planning on getting home?

Who knows Lorna,
I've been riveted to this case (and this blog) for 2 weeks now and it's been a rollercoaster ride for us all. Based on early revelations, er leaks, one of the boys had indeed confessed to the murder and the body recovered. It's hard to know if what we're getting is accurate or even true this late in the investigation. But in the unlikely event that Natalee's body has indeed been recovered, it's probably in a government morgue, under heavy guard (from press) making everything since then nothing but damage control: Aruban style. After all, their economy depends on our tourism dollars. To me, it looks like the island is putting together the case against the suspects. The victim's parents are there to take the body back once the investigation is complete. Again speculation but once that is done, Natalee can be put to rest, and the world wide coverage of the Prosecution of the suspects can or will begin. Hold on to your hats! This is a big one for Arubans!

if his story is true, that means that he went to somebody's home (not a hotel, otherwise the hotelpeeps would have seen them) and from there, they went to another location with that/those person(s) car, with NH and the did very very bad things with her!!!

IF THERE IS TRUTH TO THE LAST POST FROM 2 LORNA D THEN I WONDER WHERE HE DID THE VIDEO WITH THE 14 YEAR OLD. MAYBE THAT IS WHERE HE TOOK HER. THIS HAS BECOME A CASE FOR COLUMBO. WHERE ARE YOU.....?
WHEN WE NEED YOU.
I HOPE THIS IS SETTLED SOON. THIS IS VERY SAD FOR HER FAMILY. TUNE IT TO FOX TONITE. GRETA WILL BE ON THE CASE AGAIN. SHE DID SOME GOOD TOURS YESTERDAY OF THE PLACE THERE. WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE SENERIOS OF WHAT PEOPLE THINK HAPPENED.
INTERESTING READING. IF THIS IS EVER SOLVED THIS WEBSITE WILL BE A GOOD SOURCE FOR A WRITER TO DO A GOOD WHO DUN IT MYSTERY.
TAKE CARE.ALL
GOD BLESS NATALEE AND HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

This is what really happened: Joran gave NH a overdose of drugs in order to have sex with her, it was his last change, but instead of that she fainted and got in a coma and I think the overdose at the end killed her. So Joran phoned the Kalpoe brothers and asked what to do, and as good old friend they helped Joran to dispose the body in the sea. I think that Joran kept her body in his own appartment or at a friends, or at some other place for a while and when the time was right, he and the kalpoe brothers wrapped her body in a big plastic bad filled with stones and used Joran's daddy's boat to get into the sea, not too far and disposed her body in the wide Caribbean Sea. Case closed!

Beth Holloway has said from the very start: 'I want my daughter! I'm not leaving without her'. May imply that she is indeed laying in a freezer pending case resolution. Natalee's body is evidence. Now the perpetrator has to be identified. Again, just a hypothetical..

[The Truth is Out Here]

Do you know why NH mother feels like NH still is alive? Because in fact, NH is already dead, her spirit hangs around her mother, just trying to tell her that she is not dead and is just around her, and that she doesn’t have to worry about her. But what NH’s ghost doesn’t realize is that she is out of her body. Although she can see her mother and her stepfather, she still cannot communicate with them, because ghosts of the spirit world cannot communicate with normal human beings with their normal senses. People who are not familiar with the spiritual world are not able to communicate with passed ones; they can only “feel” like there is somebody around them. So her mother misinterprets her ghostly presence like she is still alive. That’s very sorry for her. You got to need a sixth sense for it. Very sorry for her mother, but there is nothing you can do. Just take pity in the saying that “all the things that are happening in the world, are for the best” You do never know why something bad that has occurred, shall be good for.
