Another Missing American

From Yahoo News:
"Curacao seeks help in case of missing US diplomat"

I do not understand what is going on in the Dutch Islands of Aruba and Curacao. First Natalee Halloway goes missing in Aruba several years ago and has never been found and now an American diplomat in Curacao. I have been to Aruba and know what a very small island it is. While I haven't been to Curacao I have seen maps of it and it is a lot smaller than Aruba. How can people go missing on such small islands? The only real answer is that they are no longer on the islands (dead or alive) and are probably in the ocean. It seems that the Dutch-controlled islands are not the safest place for American citizens. These are not places that usually have high crime rates so any crime is a big deal and it just happens that Americans are involved in both incidents means there is something more going on. Americans beware!

I didn't care for Aruba. The people were arrogant (not the down-to-Earth islanders you find in the Bahamas.) The sun and heat were nice, but there are so many other islands to that have the same and much nicer people.
