First off, I don't personally think she was all that attractive.

But you all go ahead and rip on the "pretty face", if it makes you feel better.

That's neither her nor there though.

This case got attention because it's an international issue which was bungled severely by the Aruba police. Further inflaming things, that kid all but admitted to getting rid of her body, and is now suspected of trafficking in sex slaves.

"Joran van der Sloot the prime suspect in the disappearance of Natalie Holloway in 2005 is in deep trouble again after being caught on film in a Bangkok hotel room discussing arrangements to traffic sex slaves from Thailand to the Netherlands.
Television crime reporter Peter R. de Vries responsible for airing the tape between van der Sloot and pot smoking poker player Patrick van der Eem has put van der Sloot in another compromising situation.

It was February 2008 when de Vries televised the tape where Joran admitted on camera to having been with Natalie and then calling a friend to help dump her body out at sea claiming she had of some kind of seizure during sex.
During the taped conversations between the two Joran shows his contempt for human life revealing Natalie was likely still alive when he and a “good friend” dumped her body in the ocean."

What this story, and others like them, should be used for is to educate parents of the dangers of spring break. Actually, what parents should do is tell their kids if they want to go to spring break then they need to get a job and pay their own way to spring break and only if they're over 18.

I don't understand how parents can place their minor kids on a plane to another country, unchaperoned. The world certainly has changed, since I was that age.

We had a big issue here where I live, a couple years back, where the MALE flight attendants on AeroMexico flights were feeding kids booze on the plane, especially the girls. And then there are the rapes that go on during these spring break trips. These girls have to contend with drunk, horny boys from their own social network, and then locals, who want to get them drunk and take advantage of them.

No kid of mine will ever be going on a trip like that. Not a chance.

There have also been cases of kids getting killed falling off high places while drunk during spring break. That's not including the drugs they get off the streets in these foreign countries which can lead to their death. There's a cable TV show called Locked Up Abroad I wish all foreign travelers would watch. It is a truly gut wrenching show with the actual person telling their story of what happened to them when they were arrested in these countries, some of them are telling their story from the prison.

What's so special about her?....why ask here....ask her family, they'll tell you.

Greta has followed other cases the same way, that what she does....and she has said that she promised Natalie's mother that she would keep pursuing this....as an attorney herself she also can't believe how Aruba has handled the investigation. This case has had more twists and turns than others because of Joran van der Sloot. I don't know what his problem is (if he's a criminal or just a compulsive liar) but, now in an interview with Greta he says he sold her for $9,600 to some unknown man from Venezuela...then a few hours afterwards, he recanted his entire story....again. You can't compare this to a missing person in the U.S. Aruba is a tiny island with a fraction of a fraction of the U.S. population and it relies pretty much entirely on tourism for revenue.

1) Pretty whether her type floats your boat or not
2) Mom has a mouth bigger than Jupiter and dollars to make it even louder.

I dont wish Natalie dead but it was at least somewhat self inflicted. Pretty drunken party ho goes in car with strangers in foreign country. Talk about a Darwin Award winner.
