I hope it's because they can't give tickets away! ;-)

Aruba botched the investigation ... no argument. However, are we boycotting Boulder, CO because they totally botched the Jon Benet Ramsey case? Or LA for that matter because of OJ? My heart goes out to the aggrieved family, but boycotting an entire country seems beyond the pale.

Same here. Waiting to see what happens to Daddy VDS today. Not holding my breath

Most of us realize that she probably is dead, and if a boycott will help find her so that her family can give her a proper burial, it's worth it.

Everyone knows now not to send their kids to Aruba, because of this family's pain.

And Fox is only reporting on missing persons cases because they have the viewers to support this. Missing persons cases are important and there are plenty of other shows that report on other significant events in the world. It's not like they're reporting on missing persons cases to the exclusion of all else.

I'm all for boycotting any jurisdiction that botches cases. So I don't plan on taking any trips to Boulder, CO or LA.

The fact that this IS a country that should be able to appropriately find justice for this family is precisely the reason to put pressure on them.

I suggest that instead of a boycott, Alabama should hire Beau Dietl & Associates.

Yeah, that's a real good idea. Those other two PIs they hired didn't seem all that great. Although, the last one got that grat video/audio of Deepak that the Dutch government has yet to authenticate.

It's a phony. The FBI has looked at this case closely. Zero evidence a crime was committed. No forensic evidence. Dr. Phil is right. She's still alive.

If the sound fits, you must not viz-it.

Am I pushing it?

I don't believe the Dutch government has come back with that finding as of yet. And it was a well-known PI/polygrapher that gave the Dutch and the FBI a tape.

The FBI has never been given full access to the evidence, so they can't possibly be able to have come to that conclusion.

I think Dr. Phil may be drinking kool-aid.

I was at first sick of this story, but after hearing the details I'm absolutely outraged.

Boycott Aruba and the Netherlands too!
