Have any of the government officials looked into the possibility that Natalie was kidnapped and "trafficked" to another country, i.e. sold into prostitution? I saw a special on the TV show Independent Lens about trafficking girls and also the movie on Lifetime about the subject...according to the shows, it is much more common than we think... 
 
I haven't read anything about this possibility in any of the reports. Has anyone?  
You obviously missed Phil's last show about Natalee. GOOD FOR YOU!!!
What do you mean, "Good for you"? If you're being sarcastic...sorry, I work full-time and normally don't catch the show...I was off this week and had a chance to watch.
If you're not being sarcastic, I'm still not sure what you mean...please explain! :)
I totally agree with you. They actually discussed this on the last Dr. Phil show covering the subject. The first show one thing that struck me was they mentioned that the crime rate was low and murder rate only 1% meaning only one person had been killed for the last year. Which to me that was very incriminating evidence against the 3 guys. BUT if truly they had left her naked on the beach at 3 am then some crazy slave trader coming along and seeing her there probably saw that as very inviting. These sorts of islands have a reputation for that. I think they should continue to follow all of those leads. They said they had the best search dogs looking for her in Aruba and turned up nothing. The ocean's have been searched.... so I think the liklihood that she is a prisoner somewhere is very likely. Because on the last show they mentioned there was a phone message on the mom's cell phone that they thought was Natalie.... I totally agree with you.
Yes, I agree...I can't see how they've managed to search the whole island and haven't been able to find her body, or even a sign of where she might be...ever since I saw those shows about the slave trade, it's been in my mind that that could be what happened.
I didn't see the last show because I work...I wasn't aware there was a phone message...that's frightening. What did it say?
What a shame...my heart goes out to her family and friends. Hopefully they will all have answers soon.
