I live in the town where Natalee was from. Never met her, nor anybody in her family. But, I feel like this was done to one of our own. I hate Aruba and I hate it's citizens. I hope they suffer a tragedy like this so they can know the pain. Then again, those cold blooded people on that island don't give a sh*t. Go to hell Aruba! Your country is a piece of sh*t on the map!!!!
Those who refer to work as the highlight of their lives obviously don't have one.
You do realize that Aruba is a country with over 100,000 citizens, right?
What if the family, friends, and/or neightbors of the victims of John Louis Evans, Audrey Marie Hilley, Rhonda Bell Martin, Daniel Lee Siebert, or Michael McLendon (all serial killers from Alabama) were to wish tragedy upon all citizens of Alabama (which would include you) for the evil acts of a few?
You would find that ridiculous, wouldn't you?
And given that we don't even know who Natalee's killer was, we shouldn't assume the killer was a citizen of Aruba, should we?
In the spirit of rational thought, you might wish to reconsider your feelings about Aruba...
Most countries in the world don't place the same value on life that we do in the Anglosphere. In the US if someone disappears, the police care and work as hard to solve the case no matter where it leads. That's not true in most of the world where at a minimum you will have to give the police money to do their job, and if the investigation leads to someone "powerful" the matter is dropped. Just about every country south of the United States is like this excepting perhaps a few of the countries deep in the southern hemisphere which are a bit more civilized. I spent several summers in Thailand and those girls get gangsters to throw any westerner foolish enough to put their names on their Will off of high buildings all the time. The cops just log it down as "suicide." The nature of most Westerners is to be far too niaave and trusting just like Natalie Holloway. They think they can just buy property or go into business in these countries and be just as protected by the law as they would if they were in London or Peoria. Most fools like this get fleeced of their life savings after building a nice "retirement home" out in little Noi's province to live happily ever after only to have Noi and her "brother"(more likely husband) tell him to take a hike and then find out that foreigners have no rights to own any property in their country. Yes you can have a good time in these places and most people come back fine, but you are not in a place that values life or rights in the same way that we do at home.

WTF
All the rest of your comment is garbage too.
Your's is the typical example of the american guy that lives in a cloud of stupidity and ignorance, reason for what most countries in the world think that USA is nothing but crap.
I'm lucky enough to know some USA citizens, and they've proven to be much more clever than you.
All I can say to your comments is: Stay in your country, the only place on earth where life means something and where crime, missing people, corruption and injustice don't exist.
Lets not forget people like OJ Simpson are free in the good ol' US of A. FYI: There are plenty of missing people missing in America that are still, well, missing...
shareYeah, true. OJ is free, due to politically correct BS and threats or riots if he was convicted.
shareStormAngel what a stupid bitch you are, The O.J. trial only had one color and that was GREEN! OJ had enough money to buy his dumb azz way out of being found guilty, if he was a regular broke black man who killed Nicole his azz would still be hanging from the tree,
Political correctness my azz, you know how many whites get off on crimes inflicted upon minorities?
Also if the police were so concerned about riots why were so many black people left for dead during hurricane Katrina Bitch?
You showed your ghetto intelligence with your post. I'll do what I usually do with ghetto trash. Insult all you need to if that's what it takes to feel good about yourself, you will be on ignore.
Yes and you showed your trailer trash mentality and extreme stupidity with your previous post, Put me on ignore honey, I see no future gabfest going on between us, I just needed to call you out on your asshat-edness!
Why do idiots feel the need to inform posters that they are putting you on ignore? Bitch please don't flatter yourself, there is nothing interesting or enlightening about you! lol
Bless...
"In the US if someone disappears, the police care and work as hard to solve the case no matter where it leads."
That tends to be the case if you are white and female and it doesn't hurt to be blonde either. Otherwise, I would say that that statement is not necessarily true at all.
the only reason why the US cares about missing/kidnapped people is b/c john & revee walsh forced them to. rip adam walsh.

Can you believe that in a place that put some much value on life like you do in the Anglosphere (especially in the US ) every other month someone snaps and shoots other 10 people and later commits suicide ????!!!!!
Do you call that apreciation for life ???!!!! LOL
Imagine how it would be if there was poverty or famine or violence or unemployment or plagues or corruption like there is in third-world countries like mine that is situated south of the United States but not that deeper south where the more civilized ones are ...
I can only laugh from some commentaries we find here ... LOL ...
You can't blame an entire country for the poor choices of a selected few.
There are plenty of killers, rapists, abusers, etc in America, too. This stuff happens everywhere, unfortunately.

Seth Cohen: I'm allergic, and there's so much pollen in here right now. It's ridiculous.
America is actually one of the more violent countries in the world.
Tens of thousands of people go missing every year in America and all the police do is file a report. People are so delusional about America.
don't get me wrong I love being an America but in no way do I think we are some safe fun loving country.
I sympathize completely with Natalie's family, but I agree that you can't blame an entire country for the behavior of one or two people. From what I understand, the citizens of Aruba did all they could, even to businesses giving their employees the day off so they could search for Natalie.
shareAruba is a great country, you can't blame them all for the actions of one pyscopath. If so then us as Americans are screwed we have hundred of thousands of murders and rapists running around or in prison.

I guess the Gov of Alabama wants us to believe no one was ever murdered there. Or disappeared. No one ever slipped through the hands of justice. Aruba didn't do anything to the family -a citizen of the country did or is suspected of the crime. Teens are murdered every single day in this country and many of them weren't out getting bombed with a stranger. Neither Nancy Grace or Greta Van Susteren bothered to promote a good number of the nameless faceless murder victims of this country the way they had Miss Holloway. They probably weren't YP&W (young,pretty & White) so too bad for them. In the meantime we'll be back on the Natalee Holloway merry-go-round even though a woman from Peru was the murder victim this time.

Considering the horrible reputation Alabama has for Civil Rights (remember the March on Selma), I wouldn't be saying anything.
shareNo the US is a piece of *beep* What gives americans the right to demand that the world is turned over to find one insignificant american girl? There are millions of people around the world dissapearing everyday many in the US and american politics is responsible for the disappearance and death of thousands of innocent people around the world so stop bitching. And the mom's characters in this movie was very annoying, this movie sucks, typical american trash!
This is not a signature!
dallo-you are just as ignorant as Natalee was. you said you are from the same town as Natalee, and you are just as ignorant as she was. So everyone from your town is stupid and should go to hell. don't like that? too bad. thats what you get when you ignorantly blame the entire aruba for ONE PERSON'S killings.
