Missing in Aruba, trivia

So the two suspects were released, and where do they come from?

Suriname is principally a transit and destination country for women and children trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Men, women, and children are also trafficked internally for forced domestic and commercial labor and sexual exploitation. Most women and girls trafficked for sexual exploitation come from Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, and Colombia; they either remain in Suriname or continue to Europe for additional sexual exploitation. Girls from rural areas are promised work in cities and then trapped in situations of domestic servitude or sexual exploitation; other children are trafficked for sexual exploitation to mining camps in Suriname’s remote interior. Chinese nationals transiting Suriname risk debt bondage to migrant smugglers who place them into forced labor.

The Government of Suriname does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. The government remains on Tier 2 Watch List for a second year for its failure to show evidence of increasing efforts to combat trafficking, particularly in its lack of progress in law enforcement action against traffickers. The government should investigate illegal migration, which often veils trafficking operations, and avoid summary deportations of victims who could assist in building cases against their traffickers. Government leaders should publicly support a "no tolerance" policy for officials implicated in trafficking, and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. - U.S. State Dept Trafficking in Persons Report, June, 2005 [full country report]

Round here the story has just dissapeared as quickly as it became headlines. What happened to the F-14s with the sonar stuff? etc.
I cant even imaging the families grief and feelings right now. personally I have thought what you stated is a real possibility and should have been looked into more somehow.
If that was my daughter I know I would not be able to cope with the feelings of what might be happening to her.
I hope she is OK somewhere.

Sounds like a Bigger problem than one missing girl form Alabama?
The media has no loyalty, THEY are exploiting her and her family too. Now onto Hurricanes, their bread and butter next to terrorism.
Seem's we only take interest in other countries when it benefits US, or we need someting from them. Ever heard what our government profited from and allowed big business to do to Costa Rica and it's people?
I had a neighbor (the husband of my sixth grade teacher) was gunned down in front of his 11 yr. old son and wife in Mexico while minding his own business on vacation. Never made national news, a few months past, we never heard another thing about it. Mo arrests to my knowledge, no one brought to justice. Just a family ripped apart for the value of his watch and wallet.
Sad to say that (and don't flip out on me here) I believe that if that little girl wasn't so attractive we may have never heard of her. If these rebals have all of South America to pick from why in the world would they bother with a blonde hair blue eyed American?? I vote for she went out with three guys, got drunk and probably partook of some cocaine and marijuana, wouldn't go along with their requests, was killed and taken out to sea. Once the body surfaces it'll be closure for the family and friends.
