Dan, being that we do not know you, we are a little disconcerted to have a stranger enjoy blogging about our misery and acting as if this is an episode of CSI. I am sure your motives are sincere but we need more prayers rather than pointless speculation. I hope you can understand this. You are crossing the line by stretching out to interview sources close to Joran Van Der Sloot. What will you gain by doing that? Have you no guilt that this young man could have harmed Natalee? We will review your site if there is anything we feel is incorrect, We will email you to keep you from posting incorrect info as youve done before. Several friends and family have come across your site in there own search for updates and were concerned about the content being gossip. Again I am sure your intentions are sincere. Your site is nicely done. At this time we just feel you are creating drama and speculation in order to bring more hits to your site. Please give the family time to comprehend and digest this ordeal. Im sending this anonymously. Goodbye


Interesting that this story has kinda softened in the eyes on the media. Someone made a good point a few nights ago: If Natalee has indeed been kidnapped; she may still be alive and held against her will. All the hard coverage may be enough to put her life in jeopardy. She may still be on the island: victim to some sexual predator or an opportunist who saw a pretty young American girl passed-out on the beach; alone.
Natalee may have also served her purpose; so she may have been killed a long time ago because of the extreme press coverage and the body hasn't been properly disposed of. Her body has to be on the island somewhere, maybe in someone's freezer in their garage. Every community has at least one decent citizen in it. Someone will see something and come forward. Anyone check the university morgues?

The Holloways have all the freedom in the world to deal with this as they please. Showing up at the Van der Sloot household was a significant step. All this beacuse she is no longer in america where you are innocent until proven guilty, so the harrassment would be illegal. This is why she's hired a lawyer. To help her in this area also. Aruban law doesn't apply to her. She seems to be guided by the press (Fox News); tread lightly Beth, I still believe your continued attempts to get answers may indeed put the whole investigation in jeopardy and these guys could walk. They will break; they're just kids. Their lives and those associated with them have changed forever. It's a double-edgesword.
