Is Natalee Holloway about to come to an end?

This weekend in aruba the search for natalee holloway the alabama teen who went missing on may 30 of 2005 resumed with the focus being the home of the van der sloots and primary suspect joran van der sloot and his father paulus van der sloot. It is believed soil samples were taken and concrete was broken up in looking for answers in the disappearence of ms.holloway. A high placed government official said he expects her remains to be soon recovered. As with many cases after an intial burst the msm disappears but a group of monkeys the scared monkeys as they are known at www.scaredmonkeys.com has kept her case front and center. Here's hoping that on the next few days that ms.holloway is found and those responible for her likely death are punished.

The Van Der Sloots - I hate them!

Until, I hear different, I don't think there is any question that Joran Van Der Sloot raped and most likely murdered Natalee Holloway of Alabama on her senior trip to Aruba. It has been almost two years now and the small island has been unable to locate her or even determine if there was a crime. I am convinced that Joran's mommy and daddy with the help of others helped in the disposal of Natalee's body. I find this whole family despicable. Definatly boycott Aruba as that whole island is culpable in this girls disappearence. Keep Natalee Holloway and her family in your prayers as the two year anniversary comes up in May.

Natalee Holloway - Lightning Rod

After following the Natalee Holloway story for close to two years it is interesting that she is such a lightning rod for a group of people. I am not talking about the group that believes she was most likely raped and murdered on the island of Aruba but rather the group that vehemently defends Joran Van Der Sloot, Paulus Van Der Sloot, the Kalpoe Brothers, and the island of Aruba in general. This group defends the above group, all of whom at one time or another were questioned or held in custody on the island of Aruba with little regard to fact or common sense. This group defends Joran and his cohorts with a vigor and a venom I can not remember in another missing person's case. Whether you believe Joran and the gang are guilty of a crime or not is really insignificant. It would seem to me that everyone would want Natalee Holloway to be found, whether dead or alive, so that one, she could be reunited with her parents if she were alive, or two, atleast have a proper burial if she were deceased. As well, all should want the guilty parties found and punished, if, in fact, there was a crime. At times I have seen Natalee depicted by this group of people as a drunk, a druggie, a young lady of questionable morals, and a tramp. I have seen her family depicted as media whores who have questionable intentions outside of finding their daughter. I have heard the family is in it for the money, they were trying to claim insurance, and on and on. This begs the question, why would Natalee or her family be the subject of any criticism at all? Whether the Holloway's are good people, I do not know, I do not know them, but I do know their daughter is missing and they have missed her on christmas, thanksgiving, her birthday and most likely everyday. Joran, the Kalpoe's and the others if nothing else are still alive and with their families. I think it is sad, that even a small group of people would demonize a missing girl and her family. And to what gain? Some may say that this group of boys and their families have been treated unfairly and to that I would say, maybe they have, but they brought much if not all of it on themselves by if nothing else lying intially. The story of the Holiday Inn if nothing else took away valuable time and resources from the most crucial time when finding Natalee was possible if not likely. It saddens me that a missing girl and her family would be talked about even my a minority of people in such a manner. As a society, I wish we could all pull together in the common goal of finding Natalee and not in degrading her or her family. It reminds me of "A Time To Kill", when Jake Brigance is talking to the jury at the end of the movie and describes the rape and torture of a young black girl to an all white jury and then tells them "Now, imagine she is white". I would tell this group, now imagine, you talking about your own daughter, sister, close friend, cousin or someone else close to you when you speak of this girl and her family.
