Street smarts are an important thing to have, especially if you’re leaving the safety of your little private Mayberry.

“But the State Department’s 2005 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report notes that “while Aruba enjoys a low crime rate, prominent drug traffickers are establishing themselves sporadically on the island ... drugs are easily found within walking distance of Oranjestad’s cruise pier and are frequently peddled to cruise ship tourists. The expanding use of (Ecstasy) in clubs by young people attracts increasing attention.””

I followed it religiously for the first two years.  Exchanged emails with her family members, established a friendship with a managing editor of an Aruban newspaper and even talked with a crazy television psychic numerous times.

Natalee was just a little too naive about the evil in the world and too trusting.  She got pulled into a very bad situation by some land sharks that made a game out of stalking American tourist girls.

Oh. I didn’t follow the story much, but that’s what the talk was at ASMS.

I don’t know where you dug up that rumor, but it is counter to everything that was learned about the girl over the past three years.

She was slipped a date rape drug at the club and coaxed into the car with a guy she thought was a tourist staying at the same resort hotel where she was booked.  Although Joran admitted to doing the same thing at least 20 times before, this was his first solo run with the Kalpoe brothers.  He probably gave her too much, but I think it goes beyond that.  There had to be some serious trauma involved for them to want to get rid of the body so quickly.

From everyone that I know that went to school with her, she was a fan of the nose candy. I think she OD’ed when she sniffed some pure, instead of the heavily cut stuff you get around here. Then the boys dumped her body so they wouldn’t get in trouble for having the drugs. She was probably shark food the same night that she got in the car with those guys.

And I know how people hate when I blame the victim, but really..who besides a drug addict or hooker would get in a car with two men that she just met in a bar on an island?

I followed this case closely from the time she went missing up to the time the main suspects were released once again.  There will never be justice for Natalee on that God forsaken island.  It is corrupt from the top down and a playground for Dutch lawyers that can’t make it on the homeland.

In Mos’ latest press release he says Joran Van Der Sloot is such a liar that he can’t believe anything he says even when he implicates himself and his father.  This Mos dude then goes on to say that the liar’s words provide a good defense for the two Kalpoe brothers.  Pure insanity!!!!!!
