While I feel badly for the young woman, people die every day from violent acts....why are we devoting so much time to this one case? Probably because she was young, blond and pretty. Had she been black (asian, or whatever...) , unattractive and obese, do you think we'd still be hearing about her?
I agree with you on this. I also think the fact that she was a child that by all reports was the all-American girl on a chaperoned trip disturbs the general public more because it means it could happen to their child. It's easier for people to ignore or explain the loss of a child that's different from them demographically.

Also, the perp's dad is a judge in Aruba and is implicated as a possible accessory after the fact sexes this up. Had the perp not had connections, Aruba would have crucified him just to get the public relations under control.
I agree with you, Bob the builder, had J. VDSloot not had a dad who had strings to pull, he would have been under the jail by now.
In the meantime I believe he killed her. Why would he say something like that just to please someone? Surely he can find other so called friends to spend time with. He's one disturbed individual. Does he need attention that bad?
No one deserves the death Natalee got but she was acting foolish just like a lot of kids that age.
I guess she thought she was invincible. Or she didn't think at all.

I was at least as stupid as she was at her age. I was just lucky and had parents that weren't willing to subsidize my stupidity.
At first I was just sick of hearing about her. Now it look like the incessant press came to some good for her and her family and maybe to other families who might no longer put their children in similar situations.

Exactly, I hope this case teaches people to watch their children more closely, even when they are 18. Being a parent is a job that never ends, not when they are 18 or 21.
