Guilty As Sin

I know I keep harping on this story, but every time I turn around I become more and more outraged.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (CNN) -- In an Internet chat shortly after the May 30, 2005, disappearance of Natalee Holloway on Aruba, one of the three main suspects in the case said the Alabama teenager was dead, the island's chief public prosecutor told CNN on Thursday.

The chat, retrieved from a computer hard disk, was among new evidence prosecutors used to justify re-arresting the three in November, Hans Mos said.

Judges, however, ruled the new evidence was not enough to keep the suspects -- Joran van der Sloot and brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe -- behind bars. Mos' office said Tuesday they will not prosecute the three in Holloway's disappearance, effectively closing the case unless new evidence comes to light.

Other chats occurring before May 30 were also found, in which the suspects discussed "picking up American girls and what they plan to do with them," Mos said. Such chats gave authorities an idea of how the suspects operated, he said. (H/T - CNN)

Something just stinks about this case, and it isn't the dead fish strewn across the Aruban shoreline. In my opinion, these three men killed Natalee Holloway, and they are absolutely going to get away with it. The three never cracked under interrogation, there is little to no evidence of the crime, and Natalee's body has never - and probably will never - be found.

Even with the internet chat transcripts, they walk amongst the free. And they're laughing. They're laughing at the Aruban District Attorney, they're laughing at the world, and they're laughing at Natalee's family. These three are like O.J. Simpson without the snazzy shoes.

Please remember this when someone you know wants to vacation in Aruba.
