Why does everyone feel the need to debate, to no end, what -might- have happened in cases like this?
Why, whenever there's a case like this, does that woman with the artificially straight hair and the new nose - not Michael Jackson - er, Gretta Van Sustern, get on TV and start talking about "well, it *might* be that she's in a house, or maybe she's at the bottom of the ocean, and it's in Aruba; not the US so the law's different....?"
Yes, it's tragic what happened to Natalie Holloway. Something terrible happened to her. But the endless conjecture by Van Sustern and all of the pundits she interviews, and all of the folks here and elsewhere on Usenet, is very tiring indeed. Better to concentrate on what we know, let the search teams and Aruban officials do their jobs, give us updates, and shut the hell up otherwise.
