I THOUGHT THE L.A.P.D. WAS CORRUPT UNTIL I HEARD OF THE ALE

By Meri, Aruban Boycott Blogger

I have been conversing with Jamie Skeeters for a couple of weeks and I have come to believe him and respect his endeavors.


Jamie is a former Los Angeles Police Officer and was a member of the force for many years. He is now the president of the California Polygraphers Association. Jamie informed me that the tape and video of Deepak Kalpoe is totally on the up and up and that NOTHING about it was doctored or altered in any way.


He has had several other members of his association and of the police force listen to the original copy of the tape and they have all concurred that what Deepak said was absolutely what Jamie depicted to the media and to the Aruban authorities.

The tape itself is not in question, only the parts edited by the Dr. Phil Show.

Deepak and his former boss, Angela (of the Internet Cafe where Deepak used to work) were present and gave their documented permission for ALL of the taping to take place.


As a matter of fact, after the first conversation that Jamie had with Deepak he was called at 2 a.m. in the morning for a meeting with Deepak. They met in the lobby of Jamie's hotel and then returned to Jamie's room for more conversation.

Deepak DID admit that he and the other two boys had sex with Natalee and he also told Jamie that he and his brother DID in fact, drop Joran off with Natalee.

He told Jamie that neither he or his brother Satish went back to the beach to pick up Joran and that at first Joran said that he had walked home and later changed that to say that someone else had picked him up.

Joran again changed his story twice. He stated that Deepak had picked him up and when that was proven to be untrue he switched to Satish picking him up. Neither of them did, according to Deepak.


Jamie had been given permission to give Deepak a lie detector test the following day but Deepak was rearrested the next morning at 8 a.m. and that prevented Jamie from giving him the test.



After the second arrest, Deepak was no longer willing to cooperate. Deepak also asked Jamie to set up a book deal for Deepak which Jamie was in the process of arranging when Deepak got arrested and stopped talking.



Jamie felt and feels that he was close to finding out answers from Deepak and even said to him, "Take me to where her body is". Deepak replied that he no longer knew where the body was at that time. A definite confession that Deepak had known where she was at one point in time.



Unfortunately, we will not know what Deepak might have said or done if given a polygraph by Jamie because he is now only speaking through his attorney.



I can vouch for Jamie Skeeter's credibility and if he tells me that the tape is honest and above board I believe him. He fully intends to pursue this and he is trying to speak to Deepak and Satish's attorney.



I hope that he is successful because sometime in the future the Kalpoe brothers will have to come forward to tell what they know in order to avoid being the ONLY suspects in the case of Natalee's disappearance to be charged with a crime.



Joran is doing his best to point his finger directly at the brothers so eventually they will have to talk. They do not have a Paulus in their corner to protect them nor do they have the connections that Paulus has.



I also wanted to add that the original hard-drive copy of the tape was in fact handed over to the FBI in Ventura County, CA and they have it at the present time. The FBI doesn't comment on evidence or any particulars as we all know by now.



The request that the Aruban's supposedly made to The Dr. Phil Show NEVER arrived in writing and it eventually came to pass that Dr. Phil's producers voluntarily sent their copy of the tape to the police...of their OWN volition and not because they EVER received a formal request as Dompig claimed on television.



This is yet another example of their duplicity and incompetence and more proof that they are doing nothing to pursue this case in an aggressive way. Tips come and go and yet they do nothing in a timely manner. Joran makes inconsistent statements in more than one interview yet they have not taken him in for re-questioning to compare his original statements with what he said in his recent interviews.



Dompig is busy expounding on his "theories" and blaming the victim and her family for their failed investigation and even for Natalee's death. He has postulated that she died of a drug/alcohol over-dose with absolutely NO evidence to back this up yet he participated in an interview with a large media franchise (6 weeks ago) rather then searching for Natalee.

I wonder how long Dompig will hold his job as chief figurehead and how much longer his superiors will find a use for his type of smear campaign against the family of the REAL victim?



If the Arubans thought that this "Critical last phase" interview would help them with their little tourism problem they once again miscalculated the reaction of people listening to this garbage and I believe that the angry reaction of decent Americans at his wanton smearing of Natalee and her family will backfire and they will suffer even more financial damages as a result of their inability to judge the American mind-set and our sense of fairness and humanity.

The Aruban's never seem to learn and this will eventually do them in. I can't wait.
