I am an American and I would never send anyone in my family or in my business to Aruba.

You can never expect anyone watching this issue to believe that something is not terribly wrong in Aruba. More should have been done to locate this missing girl.

Her family deserved better than to be left wondering for the rest of their lives where their precious daughter ended-up.

Shame on Aruba. Shame on the press in Aruba or the Caribbean for not pursuing this story to the fullest extent. Pressure on the appropriate power parts should have been made.

Certainly, as I am in the media, press pressure can bring results. It should have come from local media and their stories. This is and always will be a scar on your home base. It absolutely stinks.

We say.... Goodbye to Aruba. It is not a paradise, or an easy life style. It is a corrupt island that could care less about a missing girl and her family. Shame on all of you.
