I hope for the sake of her family that the remains that they have found are hers. It will be comforting to be able to lay her to rest both literally and figuratlively.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't complaining about the privilege certain groups get and the injustice that is generated make one a leader in the community? Yes it's sad what happened to her, but she went missing 5 years ago. The fact that there is still so much media coverage is what is making people angry.

Natalie Holloway's death was a tragedy.

This thread is an abortion.

As someone from Birmingham I will say that so many people are tired of the media coverage of this story. We wish for closure for her family but to have the wound opened up every few months is annoying to me.

You complain about how people that don't know here are saying this and that yet you didn't know her but claim that she is "normal, incredibly nice girl". How do you know this? She could have been whooping Joran's ass for whatever reason and he pushed back. NO ONE KNOWS; and frankly I'm tired of hearing about it. To put it harshly I don't care. It doesn't affect me at all. I just hope others learn from this story.

Now...when did being Greek mean that you can't have an opinion on issues?
