Never saw it.

What did make it into the Dutch press is that the Aruban police had another
suspect: the ex-boy friend of the girl. They wanted him for questioning, but he
is in the USA and the US authorities would not cooperate.

 MvdV>> But why should that make it into the Dutch press?

 > They don't expose all?

Of course not. Thousands of people get killed every night all over the world.
Did Sybine Hanson make it into the American press? Guess not.

Keep in mind that technically Aruba mat be part of The Netherlands, in the eyes
and minds of most people here it is just another banana republic in the
Caribbean.

 MvdV>> Why should anyone here be particularly interested in Natalee
 MvdV>> Holloway?

 > Just another statistic, eh.

I am afraid so. Just like Sybine Hanson was just another statistic to you.

 MvdV>> As far as we know, she was just another horny teenager who came to

So why didn't she?

 MvdV>> Living dangerously sometimes gets you killed. Big deal...

 > Yes, it is.

 MvdV>> She could have stayed at home you know.

That's life Roy. Many murders are never solved. You can't just pick a bum from
the street, declare him the murderer an throw him in jail to satisfy the family
of the victim.

That is not how a decent legal system should work.

Cheers, Michiel
