Aruba Police Arrest Father of Dutch Teen
ORANJESTAD, Aruba - Aruban police on Thursday arrested the father of a Dutch teen already in custody in connection with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, the teen's mother said.
"My husband was just picked up by police," Anita van der Sloot, referring to Paul van der Sloot, said in a telephone call to The Associated Press. "I don't know what to think."
TexKat,Thanks for the pings,fatima
I do feel badly for Anita van der Sloot because I think that she is an innocent here. (With the exception that she assisted in raising an out-of-control man-child.) My feeling since very early on is that her son is guilty of a Robert Chambers type scenario, and that her husband helped him to cover it up in some way. (Probably assisting in disposing of the body at sea.)
Obviously, purely my two cents.
I feel sorry for mother Vander Sloot in all this. As much as it is a nightmare for Beth, it has to be a nightmare for her as well.
We should stop squabbling with each other on this horrible situation, and pray that some kind of resolution comes for all the families involved.
Pray that Natalee be found, so that justice can be served, and the families can deal with the reality of the situation, and no longer be in limbo.
Like Howlin, I lost my oldest child (daughter) at about this stage of life, and how I admire Beth. I was out of my mind when the call came in that my daughter was dead. I cannot imagine myself holding up the way she has in this horrible situation.
Mrs. van der Sloot's life lies in ruins. What a tragedy all around.
Thanks for the ping, TexKat! Greta sure is maling Geraldo look bad.
