Yeah, I caught it...it was one of Scarborough's producers. Pretty interesting that he met the guy and then remembered him on top of that.
Joran is the perp in this case, probably with the help of the Surinamese brothers after the fact. I think he probably felt entitled to get into Natalee's pants, and when she refused, she met her horrific fate. Sadly, I think the cops down there are inept and there is a very good chance that they will miss something, and Joran will walk. But let's face it, even if they do a perfect job, and nail Joran dead to rights, he'll only do a few years.....such is the enlightened ways of Europe that bleeds into it's Carribean territories.
Fox News is saying that the search along the area near the Marriot Hotel is because a young man searching found a pair of pink panties, condoms and duck tape in the bushes.
Looks like they are going to drain a pond in the search area.
one of the other blogs, either Scared Monkeys or Riehl World View, says that this beach is a very popular make out beach so you can't necessarily make any assumptions on those finds alone
the thing is the reports that the one brother told the one security guard they dropped Joran and Natalee off at that beach, near the Marriott
people who live in Aruba and who know where these kids live etc said Joran's story that he was dropped off first doesn't make sense, if they went to the Lighthouse, the Holiday Inn is just down the road....
I suspect Joran is the leader of the pack and got his homeboys to cover with a story they thought would work and of course once you get arrested, it's every man for himself...
they claim Joran emailed them, that part of their story can be corroborated, sounds to me like the brothers story is checking out, not Joran baby's but I speculate of course.....
I am wondering however if the brothers, sitting at home, get the news from Joran that he's killed this girl or she died on him for whatever reason and he's asking what the hell to do, I do wonder if they did participate in getting rid of her body, and that part of the story they aren't telling, yet......in which case they are accessories to murder and that's serious stuff........
so far, Aruba is doing a better job then the DC police did in the Chandra Levy case.
Well, time will tell I suppose.
Duck tape? That's not normal.
Yep, unfortunately that's how I see it too. I suspect that Natalee got drunk and wanted some exotic story from her last night like how she "made out" with the wild Dutch boy from the casino. Joran expected more than she was willing to give and flipped out and killed her.
I do think that his friends are involved. To what degree I'm not sure. I don't think that they would've sat this long on the information that they dropped off Joran and a perfectly fine Natalee at the Marriott unless they had something else to hide. (Perhaps they supplied a date rape drug, who knows.)
Maybe one of the roomates at the hotel could identify the panties as hers.
or the US in the Osama Bin Laden missing terrorist file!
esp if they put the security guards up to cracking the boys
or her mother, sigh.........
the report on Aruba radio is Mrs. Holloway is on the scene
The young man who found the items in the same place said that the duck tape strips were about eight inches in length.
I still think she could have died accidentally, date rape drug or more likely ecstasy, and the kid panicked, esp if he was the one that gave it to her, either directly or slipped it in her drink
strange how they used condoms for "safety" reasons.....
I wish they would hurry and drain that pond. They unloaded huge equipment off a truck to do so.
The area is a "lover's lane". Nobody knows who the condoms belonged to.
ick
