True story.

The mystery continues

Rest in peace to whomever's jawbone that is. :( Perhaps that could lead to the end of a cold case.

This isn't going to help Aruba win any "Safest Island For High School Graduates" awards.

Personally, I'm glad her mother is still fighting for her, and I always keep in mind that for those that do not have a child missing that will probably never, ever be found, there is no possible way to come close to understanding how she feels. (Which also goes for her younger siblings, father, and step mother)

I can't help in a way being glad it's not her on some level, but on the other hand I know there's no way she's alive, so logically, it would be better if they find something. I really don't think they ever will, though.

And to trashtalk his brother -- the same brother he previously said doesn't "understand the meaning of 'a gentlemen [sic] and a man of honor.'"

I'm just happy he posted a picture of me where my tail covers the part he's really embarrassed by.

LOL.

Reading through the threads, and how some of you responded to Alumiyum, it's embarrassing that you would associate yourselves with the Greek community. This entire thread has been about how "if she is so smart, why would she go off with some guys?" and how pretty little white girl gets attention. HELLO!? WHO CARES? The point is some normal, incredibly nice girl died in an otherwise paradise location and everyone, people who didn't know her included, have the right to care about her story hour-by-hour. I can't believe some of you are so heartless that you say things like how it's a moral lesson for others. Honestly, I find that most of the people on this website are clearly bored and unhappy. Most of the posts are negative, pompous, or sarcastic. You're supposed to be leaders in the community - or at least my initiation told us to be - and that does not include the mockery of an innocent girls death.

Please shut the hell up.

Awww, you beat me to it.

It's because I'm bored and unhappy, with way too much time on my hands.

!

"Real cool" as opposed to "fake cool," eh?

Look -- this thread has been around for 5 years. If you'd actually read it, you'd see people saying "Wow, this is terrible, BUT _____." You can only be sympathetic for so long (considering most of us don't know her). At some point this DISCUSSION BOARD must become a vehicle for DISCUSSION.

And the whole "you should be ashamed to be Greek!" tirade is played. If you had been Greek for longer than a year (judging by the '09), you'd realize that being a part of an organization doesn't make you a drone who's incapable of engaging in conversations, discussions, or arguments.

So, again -- please shut the hell up.

Honestly, it isn't like that at all. I've read this thread on and off since it started and although people have expressed frustration at a perceived abundance of media attention when someone like Natalee disappears versus when someone of less means disappears, no one wishes ill will toward her. I can't imagine anyone would argue, even posters who doubted the wisdom of Natalee going off with The Sociopath, that it is a terrible tragedy.

That said, I am sad that it wasn't Natalee's jawbone that was found. Partly because that means that there is yet another young woman out there who is unaccounted for and partly because I want her poor mother to have closure. What an unimaginable burden it must be to wake up every morning and know your child is missing and most likely dead, but you don't know for sure.
