Note: Part two of this series is being worked on and should be up tomorrow or Monday at the latest. I've also begun researching part three, which is likely the most significant.
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Beth Twitty on with, I believe it was Greta, and she mentioned something as regards Paulus Van Der Sloot having a bastard child. Anyone following this story intensely likely knows of that rumor. As far as I have been able to ascertain the individual in question's Father had owned a local car dealership and is said to have passed away some time ago.
Unless there is some other proof or allegation in this regard of which I have no knowledge, that may have been the most pathetic and sad moment in media coverage around this story I have ever seen. I could almost see myself sitting across from host Greta Van Sustern ala McCarthyism and asking her, Have you no shame?
It's difficult to conclude much other than Natalee Holloway's Mother may be suffering from some form of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, assuming any part of this ordeal is even behind her. I've no idea if she has dealt with some of the feelings and emotions such a terrible sadness would bring - but I hope for Beth Twitty's sake that she finds a way to - she is simply becoming too much to watch.
Along with the terrible experience of seeing this tragic story unfold, seemingly frustrated at every turn by no solid leads - watching the fallout as regards the Mother is becoming incomprehensible.
Perhaps Greta feels some sense of loyalty and doesn't want to deny her access to the airwaves. But somewhere along the line, assuming there is any genuine friendship there, you would think a friend might help someone step aside from their predicament to take a long look inside. These tactics, especially spouting the worst of unproven Internet rumors on national TV is not going to bring Natalee home, or pull supporters to the cause.
It may fuel some of the worst of the conspiracy theorists and die hard faithful who seem to lack the capacity or desire to question anything the woman says ... but this is becoming pathetic to watch and I wish some adult at Fox News would step in and intervene.
Update and Correction: I've been informed it was while on (video) with Catherine Crier Beth made the allegation as regards Paulus having an illegitimate child. Frankly, I was listening, not watching and am finding it increasingly difficult to pay attention to the increasingly ridiculous media reports. I did hear her on recently with Greta and must have been confused. It's also becoming hard to keep track of the outlandish statements being made as regards this case.


you are right texas nurse!Like it or not,Natalee's highly risky behavior coupled with her very poor stupid choices most likely put herself in harms way!so she should have died!,,,,,????? yourlogic is CLAZY!!!!!!
