 MvdV>>> So you say. Your alibi?

 RW>> I was in bed with my wife.

 MvdV> Spouses vouching for each other will not impress the court. You may

That was only one albi that would have applied...the other is that there
is no record of my traveling to Aruba (air, boat, etc), nor do I possess a
passport. I doubt that there is even a direct connection between San
Antonio, TX and Aruba...slow boat to China might work, but I'd then have
to book passage, which would have to leave a record of my travels...that
doesn't exist, since I haven't left the US for decades.

 RW>>  Yours?

 MvdV> You mean where was I the night Natalee Holloway disappeared?

Of course...

Then you are more susceptable to investigation than I am...

 MvdV>>> Not at all. I am merely pointing out that if new evidence turns
 MvdV>>> up, anything might go.

 RW>> So, you could also be implicated, like Doosche will be.

 MvdV> I am not implicated. I had never even heard of Natalee Holloway

 MvdV> implicating me can turn up as there is no implication.

Since you have no alibi, you're now suspect.

 RW>>>> Speculation by the prosecutor has it that she's buried far out
 RW>>>> to sea...

 MvdV>>> As you say: speculation.

 RW>> Speculation has solved many crimes.

 MvdV> And lead nowhere in many more.

Probably lead nowhere in the same case, but one speculation could lead
the investigation. That speculation doesn't have to even be 'right on'...

 RW>>>> she'll be well preserved, as the water temps there will stop all
 RW>>>> bacteral activity...

 MvdV>>> Bacterial activity only stops in the freezer.

 RW>> Bacterial activity slows to a stop around 40 degrees, F...

 MvdV> No, it just slows down.

Way down, almost to non-exisitant. Which means there could be remains long
after you think...

 MvdV> Milk and meat still spoil in a refrigerator. Just takes longer.

Much longer..

 MvdV>>> And it won't stop the fish either. An oil drum will have rusted
 MvdV>>> through by now. And if it is wood...

 RW>> There is no corrosion and even if there was, it would take a lot
 RW>> longer for an oil drum to rust at sea than it would in your back
 RW>> yard.

 MvdV> A standard steel oil drum will not survive two years in sea water.

Oh, by that time the body will already have been devoured by inactive
bacteria...

 RW>> Wood? Since when is an oil drum made of wood?

 MvdV> I never said the wooden container is an oil drum.

Whiskey barrel then? Do they have such things in Aruba?

 MvdV>>> Stupid or not, the body was not found. So if it was floating
 MvdV>>> nothing is left by now.

 RW>> If it were left floating, it would have been found. Bodies wash up
 RW>> on shore...

 MvdV> Only some of them. Aruba is a small island in a very big ocean.

Did I mention Aruba? There's a whole continent just off shore...

 MvdV>>> If there ever was a body. For all we know, she may still be
 MvdV>>> alive, not wanting to be found.

 RW>> I doubt that she would put her parents through what we've seen in
 RW>> the past two years. She would have had to have a very bad
 RW>> relationship with them to even think about that.

 MvdV> These things happen and Natalle Holloway was no angel.

She certainly didn't deserve the treatment she got in Aruba. Nobody is
perfect, but a high school girl is not worldly, like the 25 yo dutchman
would be.

 RW>>>> but you never know, the suspect is a dutchman...

 MvdV>>> No, the case is closed, the Dutchman is no longer a suspect.

The dutchman is still a suspect.

 RW>> He's still a suspect...

 MvdV> No, he is not. The case is closed.

The case is always open, until there is proof, one way or the other.

 RW>> he's also a murderer...that just needs to be proven.

 MvdV> Only in your mind,

I'm not alone in that thinking...

 MvdV> That says more about you than about the ex-suspect.

What it says is that you have a closed mind because the suspect is a
dutchman and the victim is an American...closed minds are also typical of
dutchmen...stubborn as a mule.
