Good idea, the reward money would pay for a good hit man.

Good call Xena. Aruba would soon find that coconuts do not taste that awfully good if ALL Americans avoided that that island......
LOL!
The argument for a boycott seems silly to me...should we boycott New York and Los Angelas and every other city, country that has a crime that no one has been convicted of? Personally, I never understood the idea of a bunch of teenagers going to another country where the laws are more relaxed so they can party legally. Instead of a "boycott", how about making sure that kids, who are going to be away from home on their own for the first time, are reminded to be careful, stay with their friends, don't leave with 3 guys you just met. What happened to Natalie could have just as easily happened here in the US, and the investigation could be just as cold.
As for getting away with it because of who you are, or who you know....Michael Jackson, OJ Simpson, a couple of Kennedy's, etc etc etc? I wish they could get this solved as bad as anyone, but saying that we could have done better isn't necessarily so...
My two cents
tourism drops big time!!!
great point
i hope you are right
no reason to let 3 scumbags kill a full paying attractrive tourist, i can't imagine what the leadership is thinking.
I don't see any organized boycott happening, but the case can't help but affect their tourism industry. Aruba is synomymous with disappearing girls and corrupt officials. No doubt most other tropical tourist traps deserve the same rep, but right now Aruba is the gold standard.
There out covering the Hurricane, just about any other news, except for Bush Bashing, or the death of the Chief Justice has stopped being reported.
Mrs. Twitty should have been home 2-1/2 months ago.
I don't understand a post like this. Wouldn't you be there looking for her if she were your daughter. You bet your boots I would be.
But she doesn't know what happened to her daughter. She just will never really give up until she does.
Who's Natalee Holloway and why should I care.
Why should you care? Hmm, well the same reason that you care about the displaced and homeless people from the hurricane, because your a human, and you feel for human suffering.
Thousands of people go missing all the time, but are ignored by the media. Why is Natalee more special? Why was Laci Peterson more special than the hundreds, if not thousands, of folks who are also killed by their spouse.
She's now further back from "square one."
Dr. Phill is doing a segment on the case this Thursday.
Any American who would ever set foot on the island of Aruba surely has $hit for brains!!!! Especially the female ones?
