Lol I love you too :-) Hey if we post any old date then we'd post the same names every single year. SC I take great care to post death anniversaries of people who haven't been posted about earlier. I assure you there is no lack of those, also ones with a picture on Wikipedia Commons. What is slightly more difficult is that I also want them to be meaningful for me. In the case of Pepys, it's because I read an annotated edition of his diary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,397 Posted May 30, 2015 Today in 2005 Natalee Holloway, an 18 year old American high school student, disappeared while on holiday on Aruba, a Caribbean island and country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. She was never seen again, her remains were never found and in 2012 she was declared legally dead. Her disappearance led to a long investigation, in which the prime suspect was Dutchman Joran van der Sloot, but no charges were brought against him. Today in 2010 Stephany Flores, a 21 year old business student from Peru, was killed in a hotel room in Lima, Peru. The hotel room was registered to Joran van der Sloot, and in 2012 he was convicted for her murder to 28 years in prison. Apparently American authorities want a word with him after his eventual release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
