What I said was, "lack of a body precludes accidental solitary death". In your example, someone is involved and knows what happened. She didn't disappear all by herself by wandering down to the beach and falling in drunk and just washing away.
Maybe they sold her to slavery. They could have taken her to the beach where a boat was ready to pick her up. She could still be alive.
Late at night with a boat, you will never see a body again.....
You are exactly right, Janice. I you find NO body, then most likely a crime has been committed and somebody knows something. I was really making the point that it's highly unlikely this was a totally innocent disappearance, with NO ONE who lives in Aruba involved in any way. And the slavery issue is, unfortunately, a valid fear. <<shiver>>
