She fed the sharks and she's gone. Her killers got expert legal advice from the prosecution and are free. This story is so over.

I'd hate to be a parent and have to hang my hopes on something like that.

Anybody could have put that up--and if the killer(s) DID happen to have enough conscience to put up a cross, undoubtedly they'd put it up MINUS her initials.

JMHO.

I feel bad for her parents. I hope they find out what happened to Natalee and find closure to what must be the most horrible experience a parent could face.

She's toast, Jim.

I guess it was "On the Record" last night where the Arubans are harrassing the Holloways to the point of making them answer questions in interrogation documents like "Are you related to Adolf Hitler?"

I couldn't believe this when I heard it, but it's the last straw. The Arubans deserve to be boycotted. What a disgusting place.

"One important clue -- police found Natalee's passport inside her hotel room, narrowing the possibility she left the island."

DUH! Maybe whoever took her, IF she left the island, didn't need a passport where she was going.

THIS is such a LAME article.

General sentiment: Yawn.

Specific curiosity: How much rain has fallen in Aruba since she went missing? I'm thinking with all the storm activity in the area - any traces of anything related to her are washed away by now.

JLA Forums has an interesting video allegedly of Holloway and van der Sloot getting it on on an air mattress on the beach. It's in two parts:

You need to sign up (free, but I advise using a fake name and a throw-away email).

It looks like them, and if it is, there is no evidence of coercion or undue intoxication. It starts with a lewinsky and progresses to dog-style and female superior.

Joran van der Sloot is a snotty, arrogant kid. Although the corrupt Aruban system of "justice" may have allowed him to get away with this crime, he'll screw up again. Creeps like him usually do.

I thought we were still on the OJ, Lacy, Stacy, BJ, Rodriguez, Ax Murderer, Chain Saw Massacre, Jeffrey Dalmer, Charles Manson, 16 year old soap opera/tabloid topics.

Series, why this crap is in the news for more than a nanosecond is beyond me....
