Very possible and quite frankly I find the witchunt and the destruction of Joran Van Der Sloot's et al lives very disgusting.
Also I find the media's endless obsession wih missing young blondes such as Holloway disgusting as well. What about people of other races that go missing that the media ignores? What about the other stories that go uncovered when the media goes into 24/7 wall to wall mode to cover these stories?
Teens like this die from activities like this all the time. Even here in my hometon, a straight A student who had everything going for him, scholarships, friends, etc, went to a concert, overdosed on a drug and became severely mentally disabled.
Just because Natalie Holloway appeared to live the perfect life does not mean that she was.
Sorry. LOL. I'll get off my soapbox now but I find stories like this and Lacie Peterson to be LOCAL news stories of LOCAL interest only and they should not become national obsessions like Holloway did before Katrina.
Like Former CNN anchor Aaron Brown said, his show "Newsnight" did extensive coverage of the deaths of 250,000 people in the Asian Tsunami. Fox in it's 10 p.m. timeslot covered Natalie Holloway wall to wall. Which is a more important story? Sad commentary on culture that Holloway gathered more ratings.
And if she had been an 18-year old Hispanic/Black/Asian girl, does anyone believe that the coverage would have been nearly as extensive?
Attention on these kinds of stories also COSTS LIVES!!! In 2001, the media obsessed over Chandra Levy, another blonde, 24/7 while Al Qaeda planned terrorism on an unprecedented scale and America slept. If the media had covered the warning lights "blinking red" in the summer of 2001 as extensively as Chandra Levy maybe an alert citizen could have helped unravel the plot before innocents had to die.
The mad mob mentality that had Joran Van Der Sloot a convicted murderer is also very disturbing. Our society should always presume innocence.
All right, now I'll stop ranting but this kind of celebrity culture exemplified by Natalie Holloway Paris Hilton just recently and Chandra Levy and Lacy Peterson is very disturbing!
*End soapbox*
