That’s My Story

As a college student I studied the media coverage of the Natalee Holloway case — a beautiful young girl who went missing on her graduation trip to Aruba.
So needless to say, I have always followed her case.
When five years to the day Holloway went missing the prime suspect Joran van der Sloot “allegedly” killed another woman in Peru I was shocked.
Needless to say I started following news reports very closely again.
One news report that completely disgusted me was one where Van der Sloot apparently boasted about numerous marriage offers he has received.
According to an Associated Press report the jackass has received numerous marriage offers while confined to a Peru prison. He is quoted as saying “One of them even wants me to get her pregnant.”
I don’t think I will ever understand why a woman would write a man, who “allegedly” killed two woman, a letter proposing marriage.
While every other thing that comes out of Joran’s mouth is a lie I believe he is getting these offers. Jail house pen pals are fairly common despite what horrendous crime someone commits.
My first wish is that these woman who write to tool boxes like Joran would receive the mental health treatment they need. But if they are not suffering from an illness, then they need to get a clue.
There are plenty of nice, single, not murderers out there to choose from. So write one of them a letter.

There are several Internet rumors that someone is trying to sell photos of the late Gary Coleman taken hours before he died and after he was taken off life support.
Apparently the seller is asking a five-figure price for the photos. Some sites say it is his ex-wife Shannon Price behind the morbid sale. Another site said three of the four photos have been sold to a tabloid and will hit newsstands later this week.
Whoever took the photos of the Diff’rent Strokes star in his last hours, hooked up to ventilators, must have had this sale scheme in mind. A photo session was organized to snap the pics while Coleman took his last breathes and after the life-support was stopped. To me it is completely disrespectful to even consider selling these photos, described as graphic. While I am sure one of those junk publications will print these sad photos but I urge people to boycott the publication for printing them.
It is bad enough that someone tried to sell them but the fact that a buyer was found just makes it worse.
Coleman died May 28 at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center after suffering a brain hemorrhage following a fall at his home. The former child star rose to the top and then toppled down. He had a tormented life — please don’t torment him in death.
