As reported by The Political Teen at Blogs for Natalee, today, police took the three suspects to the beach area where Natalee Holloway was allegedly last seen alive. A fox updates reports they were taken separately in what might be a move to find a gap in their versions of what happened.
Fox also reported that Joran v d Sloot and Deepak Kalpoe were taken from the police station sometime recently, as well. Developing.
Hi Dan....Thanks for keeping US informed!
HOWEVER.....
I was wondering if you were sleeping in today! I have come to rely on you foR all the late breaking news. Today however, I had to get it from Scared Monkey's. Are you feeling ok? OR are you just wearing out from all the nonstop news stories coming from Aruba at all hours of the day and night????
Keep Up the GREAT WORK!
Love, Thoughts, and Prayers for the Family of Natalee Holloway

LOL Thanks LaDonna ... well, it is a holiday weekend. But, along with just reporting what is in the news, I try to spend time developing stories, or at least new angles and adding something that isn't in the news.
That requires a great deal of time, unfortunately, and if I miss a "breaking" event, which doesn't really have much of a story behind it, oh well. From the beginning, SC and I never saw us as doing the very same thing. That's made it easier to co-operate.

Cannot thank you enough for all your work. This is by far the best place to get news on this perturbing case.

Aces as well, thank you SO very much for all of the Aruba updates you keep posting, I love your site! Hopefully these 'people' in Aruba can get to the bottom of this soon and all will be charged with what they should be charged with, MURDER. My heart goes out each & every day to the Holloway/Twitty family.

Just heard on CNN that the jets, per Ruben Trappenberg, will arrive on Curacao late tonight, and that after a 'period of rest,' the F-16's will begin Wednesday. Wed.?? Why not tomorrow or to say the least Tuesday??!!

Ruben is such a part of the corruption, it will give him time to remove any damaging evidence that the camera's may come up with. I believe that he is so irrational about all this it makes him look guilty.

What is taking these guys to the beach going to do? I mean really isn't it kind of late to decide wether they lied about taking her there or not.
Wouldn't you think by now considering "We are at a crutial point in the investigation", they would be way past the point of taking them to the beach?

OK, this is starting to get to me.
Why does Joran always wear long sleeves?
In the car - white shirt - long sleeves.
Going to the court house - tourqouise t-shirt - long sleeves.
Today out on the Marriott Beach - long sleeves
Nobody else had shirt sleeves on - I really looked because I wanna know what's the deal with this guy and his long sleeves. It's an island. It's the middle of the day. It's pretty obvious that it's hot - I saw people in the background in swimming suits.
Does he have injuries to his arms that nobody is supposed to be seeing?
I know, too much TV cop shows.
Oh well, does anybody know him to know if this is just what he wears all the time? They took down his site already didn't they? Were there any pictures on there of him in short sleeves?
~~~ bye

Look!! @ this cartoon from Diario.com, just scroll down to the bottom of the page. They are making fun of the investigation. This is absurd. The Holloway/Twitty family should sue Diario! (Note, cartoon language is in the local dialect Papamiento)

Dan,
Do you know if anyone has looked for Natalee on any other islands or only Aruba? I wonder why they haven't looked maybe in Ven. since it is so close? Just wondered if you have any insight on this. Maybe it is the mother in me but I hope that maybe she is alive and has been taken somewhere where it may be hard to find her. Maybe the slavery idea.
Thanks for the great info....

ah the trip to the beach is about 4 weeks too late, American law enforcement would have done that first thing, when the memories and evidence is fresh and less time for suspects to make up stories
