re: Joran van der Sloot smashed Natalee Holloway’s head, threw her in ocean for refusing sex

Stay at least 100 feet away from piers and jetties. Permanent rip currents often exist near these structures.

Quick goggle search showed this for aruba. I'm with the other poster about covering up evidence with shuffling sand around.

If I remember correct the authority didn't take it very seriously at first and the parents didn't arrive till days later to turn up pressure. So you also have the Tide washing away evidence.

Idk why but I leaning toward it being truthful.

It's a shame what happen to the young lady. She was two years younger than me.
