What crime, Beth?

Am I the only person in the world who thinks the Aruban government needs to release everyone they are holding in the Natalie Holloway case and quit assuming it is a crime?

Natalie Holloways's mom has been so effective at drumming up media coverage and casting suspicion on the last three people to be seen with her daughter that everyone seems to have overlooked one significant fact: THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A CRIME!

There is no grassy knoll, no bloody glove, no hair, no fiber, no claims of responsibility from Al Qaeda, nothing.

Instead, Aruban police have been acting like Beth Holloway-Twitty has some Abu Ghraib pictures of them. Up until recently, they have arrested, released and detained anyone she wanted. When they finally decided to follow their own minds, Beth threw a hissy.

I'm sorry for your grief, Beth, but there is no evidence that Natalie didn't just cut her hair and hop on a Greyhound to Vegas.

That whole proximity argument is ridiculous. Being in the back seat of a car on the receiving end of Natalie's southern hospitality doesn't make you a killer. That wouldn't hold water in a U.S. Court and it shouldn't in Aruba. Johnnie Cochrane (God rest his soul) would have a field day if the LAPD used that as a reason to arrest Todd Bridges or any of the Drummond kids. Arrest an honor student son of a judge and Johnnie could phone that in from the Armani store.

Instead, these boys were held in jail for weeks while everyone assumed they were guilty. Let's all take a deep breath and call this what it really is: a missing persons case and not a murder investigation.
