JVDS may have planned to kill SF somewhere other than the hotel or in another way that wouldn't have resulted in leaving so much evidence behind and something may have disrupted that plan. Maybe he didn't expect a fight from SF or maybe he just simply thought he could get away with anything and then realized that he was in over his head and then had to come up with a way to make it look like he didn't do it.
I personally can't get past the May 30th date being that it is exactly 5 years from the day Natalee went missing, so I still hold to the belief that this was premeditated murder. It's way too much of a coincidence. And again, as it's been mentioned, JVDS has a history of lying and changing stories. He tried it initially in the SF case but there was too much evidence stacked up against him.
I've been praying for the lies to be exposed and the truth to be told for the NH & SF case. But, you know, it may not ever happen. Either way, I pray that the victims families will have peace and that young women everywhere will learn how to to protect themselves from these types of situations. For example, I still see young women, running alone, at night, with their HEADPHONES ON! Every time I see them I pray for God to protect them.
Anyhow, goodnight Websleuthers and God bless! :heart:
