New Developments Could Heat Up Nearly Cold Natalee Holloway Case

Almost two years after Natalee Holloway disappeared in Aruba, authorities are scrutinizing one of the case's original suspects with renewed vigor.

Joran van der Sloot was the last person to see Holloway alive. He was never charged in her disappearance, but investigators are searching his house and property to see whether they can heat up a nearly cold case.

Holloway disappeared May 30, 2005. If prosecutors don't find something by May 30 or convince a judge that the case should remain open, the two-year statute of limitations could run out, preventing van der Sloot from being charged.

Van der Sloot's lawyer believes the latest search of his property may be a last-ditch effort to keep the case alive.

Because sometimes a DC madam case just isn't distracting enough nor does it fill enough time in the broadcast.

1. Or maybe the distraction is FROM the DC Madam case nt

[rurallib]

4. Isn't another DoJ official supposed to testify this week?

DISTRACTION.

[Miss Chybil]

7. Or maybe dead/missing white girls are passe'

and we'll all get to talk about the war and the lying bastards in the White House who started it for another 43,800 hours straight. (Of course, we always have to put up with silly distractions like 32 college students being massacred at one time, or how much a politician paid for his hair cut, but as long as we make sure to agressively point out that we cannot focus on more than one tragedy at a time, we'll be back on track in no time!)

11. Not at all

Hot Democratic issues like no new discoveries in a two-year-old case of a missing blond white girl should be given all the debate they're due!!

/sarcasm

2. Bingo! What, the DC madam case isn't salacious enough for them?

OR perhaps this could be a ... dare I say it, distraction? :eyes:

3. Just in time to dominate the news cycle during the latest Perfect Storm of scandals! n/t

12. More On Holloway Than Katrina

I'm sure that the right-wing propaganda organs and their patsies and stooges in the mainstream media would sooner talk about Natalie Holloway than Gee Dubya's turning down all those offers of aid for Hurricane Katrina victims from abroad.

5. How much evidence has disappeared in the last 2 years?

Interesting that they have a 2 year statute of limitations for murder. Wonder why.

[Grandrose]

6. Surprise, suprise...NOT!!!

I guess the real news is getting to hot to handle??? Getting too close to the powers that be?? Thank goodness for the internet! :eyes:

[Vinnie From Indy]

8. Deliberate distraction

[madrchsod]

9. RUN !!!!!!

NANCY GRACE IS GOING TO EXPLODE!!! she going to set a record for the longest and largest organism in history....

[madrchsod]

16. yup......

[woodsprite]

10. There's a TON of new developments. Let's see....

Gonzo, Tenet's book and tour, Condi, Kucinich's articles of impeachment. And to quote a famous King (of Siam) ... etc... etc... etc...

[jollyreaper2112]

13. oh noes!

And to think Rita doesn't have a show to cover it with! Maybe Nancy Grace will let her do a filler slot for her?

[rocktivity]

15. A "hail Mary" search just before the statute of limitations runs out

is the OPPOSITE of a "development." No wonder this got moved out of LBN.
