Sept. 30, 2005 I want to discuss Natalee Holloway's involvement in her own disappearance. I have a feeling that Natalee was a typical teenager. She was close to her mother according to Beth and I have no doubt that she was. I also have very little doubt that Natalee did not tell her mom everything that she did when she was out of her mother's presence. What teenager does? I think that Natalee was having a good time on that last night of her trip. Maybe she drank a little too much and maybe she even left Carlos & Charlie's willingly with the three boys. Maybe she found Joran attractive and wanted to be with him. Nothing criminal or terribly unusual about any of that. I think that Natalee's friends have kept silent for the most part to spare her mom and her reputation from being smeared. That would also be normal. Unfortunately, Joran has no such protective feelings toward Natalee and although I believe that he is embellishing on his so-called charisma and desirability to women, he may be accurate in SOME of what he says about his encounter with Natalee. I have heard no one deny that she allowed him to take "Jell-O shots" off of her belly and I have heard that her friends tried to get her out of the car with the boys and that she refused. Obviously none of her friends observed anything terribly unusual and didn't feel the need to forcibly remove her from the car that Deepak was driving. I don't know her condition when all of that happened though. Was she drunk or drugged? Was she being forced? We probably will never know. Either way, Natalee certainly didn't have it in her mind to go with the three boys and never return. I doubt that she willingly had sex with all three of them (from Deepak's taped words), and I doubt that she would have allowed herself to be left on a beach late at night all by herself. She was human and normal from what I can tell and she was doing what many teenagers do. She's gone...and that is not normal. Joran and the boys lied over and over again and that is not normal. It still comes down to the three boys and what they do or do not know about how Natalee spent her last hours on Aruba. To vilify her for being a typical girl or to make her into a Saint would be wrong and unfair and I see both of those things happening. Beth needs to hang on to an image of her daughter that is very clean and innocent and that's her right and her need as a grieving mother. Whether or not Natalee acted a little out of character on her last night of vacation or if she was acting in the way she always acted is something that is beside the point. She is gone......and that is the issue. ------------ About the author: Meri Ulrich is from Sun City, AZ. https://www2.xlibris.com/bookstore/bookdisplay.asp?bookid=27335 Email: writers2@cox.net Tell a friend about this site! ------------ All articles are EXCLUSIVE to Useless-Knowledge.com.
