What type of backwards investigation are they doing in Aruba??

[Used and Abused]

I admit.......The MSM got me and I'm now caught up in the Aruba story. :hide:

Moving along...

Why are the police holding those two Black men in custody, when the three men who were last seen with her are free? Is this blatant racism or a city coverup?

On Saturday, police said three men — two Surinamese and a native of the Netherlands — who claimed they dropped off Holloway at her hotel had emerged as "the most important lead" in her disappearance.

An official close to the investigation said on condition of anonymity that the three men — legal Aruban residents between the ages of 18 and 25 — told police they took Holloway to a beach at the northwestern tip of Aruba before dropping her off at the hotel.

But Reynolds said he was told security cameras did not show Holloway returning to the hotel that night.

And from foxnews.com:
Dompig declined to call the men suspects, saying they were "persons of interest," but said the men were "the most important lead."

WTF? Persons of interest?

1. The wife of one of them

claims they went out together the night the girl disappeared and she was with him the entire night. I'm sure lots of wives offer alibis but if they were out in puiblic, maybe someone else saw them.

2. I have no idea of the truth of this..

.... but I heard on a radio talk show today that one of the three is the son of a well connected soon-to-be judge.

Wouldn't surprise me. They have to convict somebody, anybody will do.

3. If it's brown I will laugh....

I really wish Howard Dean would pound the nomination of Brown a whole bunch more, because that Judge is aiding in government coverup. :banghead: :banghead:

4. a Eurotrash connection

the final ingredient in the future movie of the week

[elehhhhna]

5. How's a Holland-born Arubian man "Eurotrash"?

[pop goes the weasel]

6. I caught one of those infotainment shows

He's already being made out to be Eurotrash. Is he really? I have no idea, and I don't expect truth to stand in the way of sensationalism. After all, the sleazarazzi have to do something with themselves now that the Jackson trial is almost over.

7. The police finally arrest the well to do white suspect

He has had plenty of time to clean up the evidence. Good job! :sarcasm:

The Dutch suspect, Joran Andreas Petrus Van Der Sloot, a student at Aruba International School, came out of his upper-class home in the northern Montana neighborhood of Oranjestad on Thursday with his head covered in a blue-and-green towel.

The other two suspects, identified as Surinamese brothers Satish and Deepak Kaploe, told police Natalee had been drinking and fell down as she got of the car in front of the hotel, a source close to the investigation told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

When Van Der Sloot tried to help her, she refused, saying, "I can stand on my own," the source said.

At that moment, the Surinamese brothers told police, a black man dressed in a black security uniform and carrying a Walkie-Talkie went up to Natalee, seemingly to offer his assistance. The suspects then drove off, and did not see Natalie again, they told police, according to the source.

The attorney general's office had said previously the three were considered witnesses and not suspects.
