In my world, sometimes a fraccer is a good thing, fraccing being a bit about having fun… being silly, fooling around. Other times, a fraccer can be a bad thing, a nice way to say someone’s that word no one uses better than Gordon Ramsay. Don’t know anything about Ramsay? I’ll give you a hint. Say ‘fraccer’ several times, very fast… and see if you don’t figure it out. It (and versions of) seems to be one of his favorite words.
So today, my Gordon Ramsay f-word salute goes to none other than Joran Van der Sloot.
Disappeared US teenager Natalee Holloway was taken to an Aruba beach by Joran van der Sloot and sold there to a Venezuelan man who ‘wanted a blonde girl’, Mr Van der Sloot told Fox News TV.
In an interview with the US news channel, he claimed he repeatedly met the man in a casino. The Venezuelan offered him 10,000 US dollars.
Joran van der Sloot told how he watched Natalee, who was drunk, being hauled on board a vessel chartered by the Venezuelan. There was no struggle or anything, he said.
Natalee vanished on the Caribbean island of Aruba – part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands – on 30 May 2005. Joran van der Sloot has been arrested twice in connection with her disappearance, but without conclusive evidence he has never been brought to trial.
He now lives in Thailand, where he has come under suspicion of being involved in sex trafficking.

Apparently now though, he’s claiming he lied to interviewer Gretavan Susteren. As a mom of a daughter similar in age to Holloway, I can imagine the horror, pain and suffering the Holloways have already been through and are now set to go through again. Who wouldn’t want that one glimmer of hope of finding a daughter you’d thought likely dead? Yet… who could deal with information like this being tossed out at you, to torment your every moment (waking or not) with thoughts of your child alive somewhere and suffering… but you can’t rescue them.
For Van der Sloot to have thrown this bit of hope out and then taken it back… is nothing short of proof he’s not a sociopath, but a sadist. As a parent, how would any of us know which road to take? Should they believe she may be alive and seek to find and rescue her or should they believe again, that she’s dead and try make peace with that, believing that his newest claim was a lie. If they do that, and in fact, the claim was truth and she is out there, how would they live with that? His recent behaviour is nothing short of torture.
It’s about time someone did something about him.
Makes me think calling him a fraccer just isn’t enough. For Van der Sloot… only ‘fucker’ will do. Good thing I really don’t believe in those voodoo dolls…
