For easier reading, here's the People mag article.
Any typos are mine.
People Magazine- Unhappy Anniversary
1. Is a case against the last three men seen with Natalee any closer to trial? No. Aruban authorities wont comment. John Q Kelly, attorney for Holloways parents, says chief prosecutor Karin Janssen indicated that unless she had significant new and compelling evidence, she didnt intend to try any of these three suspects.
2. On May 17 Guido Wever, a casino croupier at Holloways hotel, became the 10th suspect arrested. (Six days later, he was the 10th released.) Are cops just hoping someone will talk? Aruba Today editor Julia Renfro says Wever, 19, is a friend of suspect Joran van der Sloot and theyre very much focused on Joran and anyone associated with him.
3. Is there physical evidence? This is the problem, says Aruban lawyer Arlene Ellis-Schipper, who has talked with the lead investigator. She just kind of vanished.
4. Where are authorities searching for a body? At sea, using sonar. Because the island is either solid volcanic or coral rock, its almost impossible to dispose of a body, says Kelly, except on the sand dunes, which have been searched inch by inch.
5. Do investigators think Natalee might still be alive? No, says Kelly, citing his discussions with the prosecutors office.
6. What about talk an Aruban cop slowed the investigation to shield his son, a potential suspect? Says local newspaper editor Jossy Mansur: Thats not going anywhere.
7. How about the rumor that a hotel surveillance tape showed Natalee Holloway arguing with someone after the date of her disappearance? Joe Tacopina, the lawyer for van der sloot, says the image is inconclusive. Police will not comment.
8. Is Aruba tourism down since Holloways disappearance? There has been a 3.7 percent drop in visitors at the end of March 2006, compared to one year earlier. But tourism officials note that a busy hurricane season and rising hotel and gas prices may have affected consumer spending.
9. Whats up with the civil suit Holloways parents filed against van der Sloot, alleging abduction and sexual assault? Hearings were held May 17 to decide if the case should be heard in the US. A decision is expected soon.
10. How is Natalees mom, Beth Twitty, keeping her daughters story alive? Twitty has been warning high school assemblies in the US of the challenges they face traveling overseas. When you leave our borders, you leave the protections you take for granted, she tells them.

Justice for Natalee
Aruba, where is Natalee?
God bless you for what you are doing to keep Natalee's memory alive and to keep her case in the forefront of our minds. May God continue to sustain her parents and step-parents, and may He bring Natalee home soon.
Thank you, and Amen.
Outstanding, Sheba!
Thank you for that tribute to Natalee.
You put it together so well.
Schippers is an Arrogant Ass Deetch!! Can't stomach the woman myself.
I had planned to wait until Monday, May 29th to post my tribute to Natalee, but after viewing Greta's program last night, I was so disheartened over her presentation featuring Joran, that I decided to post today.
What a heartbreak and what a travesty!!! This case IS solved it is simply UNresolved. All that is needed is the WHERE of Natalee's body. We and everyone else knows the WHO. Beth and family have never waivered at the WHO and WHAT, just the WHERE. We know who the FOUR are!! So do they. Tacopina can gag himself with a pineapple!!
Sheba I don't bother with Greta anymore. I won't either. She's been sucked in by the sociopathic Dutch t*rd!!
Viewing those pictures there is NO doubt that Paulus Van Der Slut WAS involved. No wonder he was sweating buckets and couldn't look anyone in the eye and had to hide in the bushes until Beth said "Hey you in the bushes"!!
CO, you are so right, and it bears repeating.
That is your best rant ever!
I especially liked this part:
"This case IS solved it is simply UNresolved."
So right, absolutely right, CO.
CO, your hitting them out of the ballpark today!
Great lineup, timeline and recap. Awesome job, shebacal.
That's Paulus, IMO.
Thank you, PNSN. I believe a lot of people think that is Paulus.

I saw YES!! Next, hopefully, we will hear about hotel closings.
I'm in the 'no greta zone', also. Greta enjoys the middle of the road - right on the 'yellow' line.
I agree w/RGVTx - home run posts, CO!
In the past few days, the Royal Military Police was very busy with escorting the several transports of riding material from Nieuwe Haven to the Suffisant base and the several operation areas, like Fuikbaai, Wacao, Hato and Eastpoint. Eastpoint owner Willy Maal has authorized the military to perform exercises on his property. The tanks are transported on flatbed trailers over the road. For the first time since long ago, the traffic in Curacao is coping with the phenomenon military column that always has the right-a-way.
The 6 F-16s arrived on Military Hato today. They will be put in for air defence tasks as well as for assistance of land forces. The F-16s will start flying this coming Friday. A max of 4 will fly at the same time.
The Dutch media reports in abundance on the Joint Caribbean Lion. The reports concentrate mostly on the fact that the exercise takes place on the doorstep of neighboring country Venezuela, and they also put emphasis on the relationship between the government leaders Hugo Chávez and George Bush.
