I have reached the conclusion that the Dutch legal system sucks!

They wait 2weeks before impounding the leading suspects automobiles. The evidence is now very stale and the chances of recovering Natalee alive are reduced.

One unhappy island

Clint Van Zandt

It has now been two and one half weeks since the disappearance of 18-year-old Mountain Brook, Ala., resident Natalee Holloway, who while on a high school graduation trip went missing after being last seen with three young men, ages 17, 18, and 21 when leaving a local bar (Carlos 'N Charlie's) in Oranjestad, Aruba. Brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe have indicated that they left Holloway with the third individual, 17-year old Joran Van Der Sloot (son of an Aruban judge), while Van Der Sloot has countered their statements, indicating that he left Holloway with two brothers.

Aruban authorities (finally) searched Van Der Sloot and his parent's local residence today and removed unknown items of potential evidentiary value, to include two vehicles. The evidence response/search team would be looking for anything that could link Joran Van Der Sloot to Holloway, noting that although all three male suspects acknowledge that she had been in a car with them that was operated by the Kalpoes. Should any linking evidence such as hairs, fibers, bodily fluids, etc., be found in either of the vehicles that were seized today, such would then confirm Holloway's presence in the vehicle and obviously indicate that Van Der Sloot had been less than truthful concerning his activities with Holloway as well as their mode of transportation the evening she disappeared. For example, should hairs be found in the vehicle or in Van Der Sloot's home that are linked to Holloway, examination could then determine if they had been pulled or yanked from her head as opposed to fallen out naturally. The presence of linking hairs or fibers, etc., in the trunk of a vehicle would, of course, suggest that she had been transported in this manner, probably against her will.

I have been trying to keep up with this a little. Seems now they think she might be in the sea so therefore chances of her being found are next to nil. Like most law they are slow to do anything until the suspects have had plenty of time to cover up whatever.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (CNN) -- An Aruban judge, the father of a 17-year-old suspect in the disappearance of an Alabama teenager, also has been arrested in the case, the island's police commissioner said Thursday.

Prosecutors decided to keep Paul Van Der Sloot, 53, in custody for questioning for 48 hours, Aruba Police Commissioner Jan Van Der Straten said.

She left with 17-year-old Joran van der Sloot who has bragged to his buddies about drugging girls for sex.

It looks like if your going off like that .........to another country......that friends should keep up with each other and not let each other go off with strangers. Still it's very sad and she should have been more aware to be more cautious.

I have to agree MTZ. When I go off to some strange place, whoever I'm with we watch out for each other especially if we have been drinking.

Well I figured all along that she was thrown in the sea but will have to see if this newest development is related to her.ORANJESTAD, Aruba - Investigators will conduct DNA tests on blond hair attached to duct tape that was found along the northeast coast of Aruba to see if it came from missing U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway, authorities said Monday.

A park ranger found the duct tape while collecting trash Sunday on rocks at Boca Tortuga, an inlet in front of a series of caves, said National Park Ranger Service spokeswoman Dilma Arends.

Is anybody as sick of this story as I am? I mean it's a tragedy for the family, obviously, but what has warranted the gargantuan amount of coverage it's gotten? How many people in this country go missing every day? Is it because she's pretty and white?

If Holloway was an overweight black woman do you think FOX and MSNBC would be covering this at all?

No, I have been following it very closely. I find the Dutch system of justice very interesting and self serving. The system is set up to protect the government from outside criticism. Everything is secret from the people.

It seems to be a class structure of justice where the rich and powerful look out for each other.

At this point they have a hot potato and are trying to deal with it while saving what reputation they have left. -- Very interesting stuff.

www.riehlworldview.com has a blog dedicated to the story of the hunt for Natalee.

However, I am sick of hearing the slander directed at Carl Rove. :toast

I think it's still in the headlines because of the popularity of Aruba for one thing for tourists.

Maybe they will find a fingerprint on the duct tape.

I don't have any idea except that it's a famous resort that a lot of people go to. Your thoughts?

IMO the reasons:

1. Pretty young woman goes missing. No body no clues. (ala Laci Peterson)

2. Her mother Beth arrives on island the next day seeking information on her daughters whereabouts.... and is still there.

3. Public becomes aware that she was last seen with the three local boys.

4. The dumb local police dont arrest the three boys but arrest two local black men who have alibis. (smacks of racism)

5. Greta Van Susteren (Fox) went there and made it national news.
