GERALDO RIVERA and RICK LEVENTHAL said it was confirmed, but 15 minutes later they said they weren't so sure. Here's how one emailer described the coverage on Saturday -- "It seems as though FNC wants to be able to call her dead, MSNBC wants to say they can't be sure, and CNN just wants to wait."

On Saturday night, Natalee's parents "gave an exclusive interview to Geraldo -- during which, he kissed her mom on the cheek. Unbelievable!," an emailer says.
