KARIN JANSSEN--WOMAN OF YEAR OR TOTAL DISGRACE?

**Natalee's Freebirds rule...thanks for posting this great article!




When one looks over the pattern of her involvement in the Natalee Holloway case, we have to ask did Karin Janssen do a "friend a favor" or purposely buy time for the suspects to rehearse their lies, erase all evidence, change statements, allow some statements to become missing and therefore was she directly involved in a cover-up?

We remember it was Karin Janssen that asked the most unfathomable questions of Beth:

• If she was related to Hitler

• About life insurance policies

All the while maintaining a position of non-disclosure to the family that were so desperate to know what happened to the victim in this case, their daughter Natalee.

What did Karin Janssen know before she had the security guards arrested?

Early on, Karin Janssen knew that not only was Natalee never returned to her hotel, and that given this fact, the "black security guard" described by Joran, Deepak and Satish could not possibly have existed, since surveillance and hotel employee witnesses all indicated that no sign of Natalee was ever recorded, nor any of the other descriptions fabricated by the Kalpoes and Joran.

Beth Twitty - MSNBC

TWITTY: ….. within 72 hours, we knew that their first story was totally fabricated, that within the first 72 hours, I faced a room of 12 -- at least 12 detectives, Aruban and Dutch detectives, and a lead detective, Dennis Jacobs (ph), and they knew after we reviewed video footage from the Holiday Inn casino lobby that my daughter had never been brought back to the Holiday Inn. They knew that those suspects were fabricating a story from day one.

FOX NEWS

Holiday Inn employees say security cameras did not record Holloway's return. A Holiday Inn guard who worked the overnight shift that day said he did not see her, said Pietersz, who said she reviewed the guard's statement to police.

ALE OFFICER

This officer in the same fox article sent earlier, states that the investigation shows Natalee NEVER returned

(surveillance):http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,158666,00.html


Karin Janssen knew that neither John nor Jones were working as security guards during the time frame that Joran, Deepak and Satish claimed to have dropped Natalee off at the Holiday Inn hotel. She also knew that the descriptions given by Joran, Deepak and Satish of clothing they claimed the "dark skinned" guard wore was not anything remotely close to what Holiday Inn security guards wore. Yet, Karin Janssen ignored these discrepancies and had the security guards arrested claiming she had evidence.

NANCY GRACE

June 9, 2005 (1 Guard in 2 boys statement)

PIETERSZ: And, the two guys now suspect, that they said they saw a security guard walking up to Natalee according to the statement of the two witnesses around, I assume, 2 o`clock. And that never could be my client because he wasn`t even working. So he was not wearing a uniform.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0506/09/ng.01.html


It can be concluded that given all the information Karin Janssen had available to her, the notion that there was good "cause for suspicion" was knowingly false, and the fact that the guards were still pursued, in light of ALE and prosecutors knowing that no drop off ever occurred, suggests collusion between the ALE and Karin Janssen for the sole purpose of denying Natalee's family the truth of what had been inflicted upon their child, and covering up for the real perpetrators: Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe, Satish Kalpoe and Paulus van der Sloot.



* EVIDENCE ON GUARDS WAS FALSE - THEY HAD ALIBI'S

* GUARDS ONLY QUESTIONED ONE TIME BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AFTER THEIR DETAINMENT

* CLOTHING WORN BY GUARDS DID NOT MATCH THE WITNESS STATEMENTS

* THE SURVEILLANCE TAPES NEVER SHOWED NATALEE NOR THE
GUARDS AT THE HOLIDAY INN THAT NIGHT

* DEEPAK STATED HE COULD "IDENTIFY THE GUARD IF SHOWN TO HIM" BUT NO LINE UP WAS DONE OR FACE TO FACE MEETING FOR IDENTIFICATION

* PRESS RELEASES THAT THE "GUARDS ARE NOT COOPERATING" WERE GEARED TO PRESENT NEGATIVE PERCEPTIONS OF THE TWO GUARDS TO THE PUBLIC TO DISCREDIT THEM INSTEAD OF WHERE IT BELONGED: ON JORAN VAN DER SLOOT, PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT, DEEPAK KALPOE AND SATISH KALPOE

* SECURITY GUARDS WERE USED AS STALL TACTICS FOR THE COVER-UP OF THE CRIMES AGAINST NATALEE HOLLOWAY - TO HELP PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT SANITIZE EVIDENCE

* STEVE CROES ENTERS THE SCENE TO FURTHER THE SECURITY GUARD LIE WITH NOW IMPLICATING TWO SECURITY GUARDS NOT ONE AS WAS STATED BY JORAN AND DEEPAK ORIGINALLY

* MICKEY JOHNS SPOKE TO DEEPAK WHO TOLD HIM ABOUT PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT'S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE CREATION OF THE HOLIDAY INN LIES AROUND THE POOL AT THEIR HOME. HE KNEW THAT THEY ALL CONSPIRED TO LIE, AUTHORITIES PLAYED ALONG, AND HE WAS SET UP


Prior to their arrest, Karin Janssen did not investigate John and Jones, she knew the three last seen taking Natalee had lied, and yet went forward with their arrest. After which she took yet another curious step by requesting that the attorney representing both the Security Guards, Chris Lejuez, drop Mickey Johns as a client.

CHRIS LEJUEZ

Lejuez dropped John as a client per a request from the prosecutor, who said “it's not ethical for him to represent both clients."

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159006,00.html

VIDEO WITH CHRIS LEJUEZ

Why he was asked by Prosecutor to drop one of the Security Guards?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159252,00.html


Two large double standards from this turn of events by Karin Janssen were Paulus van der Sloot being allowed to represent his son and the Kalpoe brothers, and both suspects Steve Croes and Geoffry van Cromvoirt were represented by the same attorney as well – neither scenario warranted the objection by Janssen that the security guards’ legal representation did.


“The father of one of the men is a local attorney on the island and is representing all three of them.”

http://www.nbc13.com/news/4567607/detail.html

JOHN Q KELLY

VAN SUSTEREN: John, what I heard a little bit earlier today from someone I spoke to in Aruba is that the lawyer for "G.V.C." is also the lawyer — it's a woman — who represented Steve Croes, who is the man who came forward with the false alibi to the police which supported lie number one of Deepak, Satish and Joran. Do you know anything about the lawyer representing both Steve Croes and now "G.V.C."?


KELLY: I know that's the situation. It's a woman, and that is the person who represented Croes and would be representing this individual now. And actually, Ms. Janssen, when I talked to her today, she was just getting ready to turn over the dossier to "G.V.C.'s" attorney for review before they did go into court.


VAN SUSTEREN: Then it's bizarre that this lawyer would represent both Steve Croes and GVC because at least here in the United States, I think most lawyers would say that there is a potential for conflict of interest and a lawyer shouldn't be representing both.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,192309,00.html


Why did Karin Janssen withhold Joran van der Sloot’s statement from the security guards’ attorney claiming it to be irrelevant to his clients, while turning over the Kalpoe brother’s statements when reportedly Joran’s statement contained the same lie?



CHRIS LEJUEZ, ATTORNEY FOR ABRAHAM JONES: Nancy, I have seen only the statements of two of the three men. The evidence that I got, the documentation, the files that I received from the prosecutor’s office contained only two of the statements.


My colleague has asked the prosecutor why only the two, not the one of the Dutch boy? She was told by the prosecutor, at least by the prosecutor’s office, that that statement would not be relevant to the case of her suspect, her client.


...Well, both the statement that I’ve read from two of this young boys state very clearly that they dropped her off at the hotel at approximately 2 o’clock in the morning. She got out of the car. She was under the influence of alcohol. And then they saw her walk through the front door of the hotel inside the lobby.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0506/09/ng.01.html


Why was a known drug dealer – Xavier “Boeti” Naar, brother to the lead investigator Dompig and cousin to the Kalpoe brothers – brought in to help implicate the falsely arrested security guards?

BETH TWITTY

TWITTY: ….. First of all, it started out with Dennis Jacobs (ph), the lead narcotics agent on the island of Aruba, who was working with Booti to get him to implicate the two security guards.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10348437/

WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE THAT KARIN JANSSEN
PROVIDED IN THE CLOSED HEARINGS WITH THE JUDGES?

In order for Joran and the Kalpoe brothers to continue to be detained, Janssen had to present evidence to the judge for each hearing to determine continued detainment.

• Surveillance tapes of the Holiday Inn and Excelsior Casino

• Signed statements from suspects
  

• Joran and Deepak's computers, cell phone records, msn messages

Monday, May 30, 2005

Gardner's testimony states he saw the three suspects in the car near the pond. The gardener places the three suspects at a location different from where they had stated.

SEARCH WARRANTS

How was Karin Janssen able to complete the paperwork correctly for the search of the security guards’ residences, but not for the van der Sloot’s home?

FOX NEWS

Aruban police in unmarked cars accompanied by FBI agents made a pre-dawn raid at 5 a.m. Sunday, rousting two suspects aged 28 and 30 from their beds.

An AP photographer watched as the rumpled men — one from the De Vuiyst housing project for poorer islanders and another from an average home in southeast San Nicolas — emerged without resistance, hands cuffed behind their backs.

Police searched the homes and emerged with what looked like a metal safe deposit box and a garbage bag of clothing.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,158666,00.html

GEROLD DOMPIG

October 19, 2005

Dompig: That is correct. The fact is that we as a law enforcement agency always try to get the maximum. Meaning that we want to search as much places as possible. We were not granted by the judge a search warrant for the complete house, we only received the warrant for the apartment.

Reporter: But what about after Paul Van der Sloot was arrested, couldn’t you get a warrant to search the house then?

Dompig: It was also denied, we were a bit disappointed with that. The judge was coming from another island I must point out. He said we didn’t make a good enough case to get a warrant.

DNA TESTING

How was Karin Janssen able to complete the paperwork correctly for the search of the security guards’ residences but did not follow proper procedures for DNA testing of the Kalpoe brothers and Joran van der Sloot?

SUSAN CANDIOTTI

CANDIOTTI: Well, I have learned from -- we have learned from two sources that, in fact -- and law enforcement source confirmed to me that a toothbrush that was in her hotel room was found to have male DNA evidence on it.

WHY WAS A BIG SEARCH CONDUCTED ON JUNE 6TH?
THEY HAD ALREADY ARRESTED THE SECURITY
GUARDS WHOM THEY HAD "EVIDENCE" AGAINST?

Why was this search conducted away from the area the victim, Natalee Holloway was last seen?

CBS NEWS

The initial search idea called for an island wide effort, but later changed to focus on the southeastern area of Seroe Colorado and part of San Nicolas, police commander Judy Hassell said. San Nicolas is where the two charged men were arrested.

STATEMENTS MISSING, CHANGED, DELAYED

1. SUSPECT- CONFESSION MISSING

We saw the reports that confessions had been made, that something bad had happened. Shortly thereafter, it was retracted. The next morning, there was a report that said Natalee was confirmed dead. And these reports came from the deputy commissioner. They came from the spokesperson from the Ministry of Justice. And then, all of a sudden, these statements and these confessions just disappeared.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8551822

2. BETH TWITTY - STATEMENT CHANGED

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: We found out about three weeks later that that statement that I signed on June 10 is not my statement. We were given that statement by an Aruban attorney sometime during the month of July and finally had it translated, and it is not my original statement.

GRACE: What was left out, Beth?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: There were a lot of names that were left out, you know, just key elements as far as how Joran asked Jug and -- to leave the group before he admitted the sexual assaults that he committed against Natalee and -- and just a lot of things. You know, Paulus`s name -- I didn`t know anyone`s name. I didn`t know Charles Croes`s name, which is just ludicrous.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0510/04/ng.01.html

3. JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - STATEMENT MISSING

TWITTY: Well, Rita, like I said, we‘ve been worried as early as June 1 when we saw torn statements at a police station. We‘ve had falsified documents. I mean, we‘ve seen key elements omitted from uniformed police officers‘ statements. We‘ve had a D.E.A. whose statement was never taken.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9354188/

4. JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - STATEMENT CHANGED

Paulus van der Sloot police statement

We then departed for the police station in Bubali where we arrived at approximately 11.00 hours. Jacobs and Kelly took down Joran's statement. Joran was speaking in Papiamentu and that was translated by the officers into Dutch. I was there when Joran made his statement.
We made a few changes in the concept with regard to factualities instead of observations. At approximately 14.00 hours Joran signed his statement ...


5. ALABAMA WITNESSES - STATEMENTS DELAYED

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Well that‘s kind of what I‘m leading up to. I‘m leading up to the reason why that could be. And number four would, you know, when you think of the DEA witness, Eric Williams, was not given—was not—did not give a statement regarding the incident that occurred May 31 where Joran is again, admitting these sexual assaults committed against Natalee.

And number five, you remember there were many witnesses there that night that were never asked to give a statement until 20 to 30 days later.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9679791/

JUG TWITTY: I think, Joe, they need to go back to the beginning and question the people that were with me that night. We have already got conflicting stories now.

People have changed their statements from the very first night. Those people that were with me that night, had they taken our statements at least a week after it happened, we would have already had the answer. But when they take my statement 33 days later, and they take the other guys‘ statements that were with me and ladies that were with me, you know, like 19 days later, it‘s like they didn‘t want to find the truth.

KARIN JANSSEN KEPT FBI OUT OF INVESTIGATION

DAVE HOLLOWAY

DAVE:. One of the things I really had a concern with was the FBI was contacted and the FBI wanted to come to the island. The FBI wanted to get involved due to the fact that we had an American citizen missing on their island. I recently found out that decision was made by the prosecutor and the police department to not allow the FBI to become involved as they should. In fact they sent a dive team up approximately a week later and they ended up going home. They didn't even step foot in the ocean.

the FBI was never given a single document, audio or visual, in this case. And now we`ve confirmed that there was a Dutch official who flew from Holland all the way to Quantico to share information, but didn`t leave a single thing in the hands of the FBI.

With the USA and London Bombings dominating the news at one point, Aruba’s investigation began charging the news organizations networks as much as $1,500-a-day for freelance cameramen, $300 to $400 for hotel rooms for producers and crew, as well as $3,000 for satellite feeds.

BETH TWITTY

Beth stated that the communications people in Aruba have raised the fee for satellite hookup from $800 to $4000 in order to broadcast live interviews

http://.scaredmonkeys.com/?p=1586


In further attempts to obstruct the truth of the crimes against Natalee Holloway, they threatened to jail Art Woods for not having a permit, created lies about TES disturbing turtle eggs, and statements from Dompig surfaced with unfounded ideas that Natalee died of an overdose.


Dompig then came to the Unites States to question the Mountain Brook teens with a questionnaire prepared by Janssen, and continued his attempts to slander Natalee and her family by undermining her credibility and her innocence with defamatory statements directed at Beth and Dave about insurance scam lies, and insinuating that funds they received to help them find their daughter were mishandled.


These were diversionary tactics utilized by the Aruban Justice Department along with Janssen's statement that "you can't barge in their like cowboys" which was meant to demean American standards while her actions and methodologies were corrupt attempts to protect the suspects by zeroing in on the innocent Security Guards who for 10 days were not in any line-up, only questioned one time, and their alibis ignored.


Karin Janssen and the other Aruban officials continue, even today, along with the bloggers on-line, in planting lies and disrupting forward progress in this case.


The fact that Prosecutor Karin Janssen and polis detectives Dennis Jacobs and Jan van der Straten, all in charge of the investigation, were not pursuing the facts, or the surveillance tapes that demonstrated Natalee never return to the hotel; while ignoring all the contradictions of the statements by Joran and Kalpoe brothers paints a very clear picture indeed. It would seem impossible for any competent professional to come up with the strategical course that Karin Janssen utilized and not realize she was involved in a collusion to cover up these crimes.


Common sense dictates that her swiftness to arrest the Security Guards based on known lies made by the criminals in this case, not obtaining a search warrant for the property of the van der Sloots and surrounding area, not following procedures for testing of DNA which caused that evidence to be rejected by a judge - all supports the cover-up that the world has watched unfold.


Karin Janssen has been a Prosecutor for 12 years and the Chief Prosecutor in Aruba for a year and one half, (http://tinyurl.com/ysnnlm), and she made the choices and procedural errors based upon her experience. Common sense says she knew exactly what she was doing to help cover-up a crime in Aruba.


* Aruba's justice department wants us to believe that blood can miraculously morph into cleaning fluid and chocolate.

* Aruba's justice department wants us to believe that our FBI was allowed to search, but we know that they went home without ever playing more than an advisory role.

* Aruba's justice department wants us to believe Natalee bought drugs and over-dosed.

* Aruba's justice department wants us to believe they turned over all documents and files to the FBI.

THE DUTCH--CAUGHT IN THE ACT!

A ROYAL DISASTER!

The Dutch are like those in George Orwell's book, 1984, trying to 're-write' history. Guess what?! This isn't a book! It's real life! And when you lie, you get BUSTED! What do you think these people, including Aruba, are willing to do next to save their reputations and their floundering island?

THIS JUST PROVES WE CANNOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!!!

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - A Dutch royal couple acknowledges altering a Wikipedia entry about a 2003 scandal that forced the prince to renounce his claim to the throne.

Prince Johan Friso, son of the reigning Queen Beatrix, and Princess Mabel of Oranje-Nassau are the latest to be embarrassed in a spate of discoveries of vanity changes to Wikipedia entries. Such self-serving amendments are frowned upon in the Web encyclopedia that "anyone can edit."

The original scandal broke in 2003 when Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende refused to support the prince's marriage to the princess, then known as Mabel Wisse Smit.

The prime minister said he objected because she had given him "incomplete and incorrect information" about a romantic liaison she once had with a druglord. Wisse Smit later conceded knowing the drug dealer but denied any sexual relationship.

With government approval of the marriage withheld, the prince had to choose between Wisse Smit and his place as second in line to the throne. They married in 2004.

On Jan. 8, 2006, someone using a computer at Huis ten Bosch, the royal palace in The Hague, altered the Wikipedia entry on Wisse Smit that had said she "gave misleading and false information" to Balkenende. The new entry removed the words "and false."

Wikipedia shows the time and IP address — the numerical identifier of each computer on the Internet — of edits made by someone who doesn't sign on with a user name.

After the connection between the 2006 edit and the palace recently circulated in the Dutch media, Friso and Mabel acknowledged they were the revisionists.

"They both made the changes together in order to make the entry match the letter which they sent to the prime minister (explaining why they misled him) in 2003," spokesman Chris Breedveld said Thursday. The couple feel that due to repeated mistakes in the media, an "incorrect version of events has arisen," he said.

Similar self-interested Wikipedia edits have popped up for years in government and business. The finds accelerated this month after a U.S. graduate student developed an online "Wikiscanner" to more easily track the sources.

"IT'S NOT PAULUS...IT WAS A COOK"--ARE WE THAT STUPID?

An Aruba Boycott member recently emailed Art Wood to inquire his opinion and/or what he knows about the above picture that is believed to be Paulus sitting next to Natalee the night she disappeared. Art Wood responded to this member with the quote below, which I believe is another load of hot air being blow up our asses.


I'm sure Art is smart enough to know that what he's been fed isn't true. Aruba is all about LIES. If it was just "a cook", then why did Michael Posner hit the roof when this tape was released to the public?





Art Wood: "The person in that tape has not been identified. However it looks like Paulus. I was told that it is a cook at the salt and pepper cafe."

BONES FOUND ASHORE? OR MORE SPIN...

Today Scared Monkey's reported that "a human bone has washed ashore on the north side of the island this morning. It may have washed ashore do to the rough seas." (Source)


What is the likihood that it could be Natalee's? Let's see how long it takes for their "forensic" team to figure this out. They will probably claim it was a monkey bone.


What about that guy who "drowned" recently? He was ashore pretty quickly. Why would bones wash up two years later?

We'll never know until we find out what kind of bone it is. Like I said, they will probably declare it's a rare carribean monkey bone that swims in the ocean, or maybe even some rare prehistoric theropod Microraptor or Parvicursor bone!


In any case, "they" (Aruba and the Dutch) will confiscate it and we will never hear about it again.

Wanna bet???

"WE BOAST WONDERFUL WEATHER...AND ARE OUTSIDE THE HURRICANE BELT!"

"Aruba enjoys a sunny climate, making it a year-round paradise for residents and visitors alike. The average temperature is 82ºF (28ºC), with cooling trade winds and the rarity of tropical storms and hurricanes. Aruba lies outside the hurricane belt."


MY ASS! That bad weather Aruba is getting is just a foreshadowing of the doom to come. I'm just smiling as I sit back and watch.


August 19, 2007--"Well Dean is still leaving us all guessing. I am staying up for the 11pm updates then I will see if I have to change plans again. Most models show Dean going up above 15 north as it passes us, but it doesn't take a direct hit to do damage- like the tail of Ivan the swiped us... I hope all those in his immediate path a safe weekend. The thought of my friends and I will be with you.

At this point for us it is not the threat of a direct hit, but the thought of what the lower part of the system can bring- rain and waves. We had unusually high water at work today and the fish are starting to move into deeper waters or into the lagoon protected by the mangroves. We also had a great view of a tornado/waterspout that was trying to form. It started as a classic funnel that looked like it reached from the low clouds to half way to the hills on the north coast. It hovered then thinned out, expaned to a beautiful half cone.....then poof- three minutes later it was gone. My coworkers that saw it thought it was cool. Then again- a few think this weekend means that surf is up grab the board and hang ten (NOT!!!-storm waves mean strong breaks on the beach and wicked currents- not good for swimming or surfing). To me these are signs of unstable and nasty weather to come, even though I sorely hope I am wrong. We can only watch and wait. To all-good night and be safe.

THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF SERIOUS AND STRONG SUSPICIONS!

*Another great job from "Natalee's Freebirds"...we love you guys!

CONFIRMATION!!!

ARRESTS OF SUSPECTS
IN THE NATALEE HOLLOWAY CASE
WERE BASED ON STRONG AND
SERIOUS SUSPICIONS

In consideration of Dutch law and how Aruba chose to apply it, why were further serious suspicions gleaned from polis statements ignored? It seemed the more suspicious the circumstances surrounding this case became, and the multiple times these suspects changed their stories - the less aggressive Aruban law enforcement became in attempting to discover the truth about what happened to the victim, Natalee Holloway.

1. Aruban attorneys Arlene Ellis-Schipper and Noraina Pietersz who both have/had connections to the the Natalee Holloway case educate via the American media regarding the criteria for arrests under Dutch law - STRONG/SERIOUS suspicion.

ARLENE ELLIS-SCHIPPER - ARUBAN ATTORNEY

NANCY GRACE - 07-20-2005

ELLIS-SCHIPPER: There is no grand jury in Aruba. It`s a different system. You are arrested based on suspicion, on strong suspicion.

NORAINA PIETERSZ - ARUBAN ATTORNEY

Associated Press - June 9, 2005

Under Aruban law, only serious suspicion from investigators — not solid evidence — is needed for a judge to rule that suspects can be held, Pietersz said.

2. When Dutch law is taken into consideration it can be assumed that the suspicions warranting the arrests of the suspects in the Natalee Holloway case could be defined as STRONG/SERIOUS.

Joran van der Sloot (search) and his friends Deepak and Satish Kalpoe are being held under suspicion of murder and kidnapping as well as being an accessory to murder.

A fourth man, party boat DJ Steve Croes, is being held under the same conditions.

The fifth man, Paul van der Sloot (search) — the father of 17-year-old Joran — was being held on suspicion of complicity to pre-meditated murder, complicity to kidnapping and murder and kidnapping Under the Aruban system, complicity is a lesser charge.

DEEPAK AND SATISH

CNN - 08-26-05

After being detained and then released last month in Natalee Holloway's disappearance, two brothers were arrested again Friday in Aruba on suspicion they acted "together with other people" in rapping and killing the Alabama teen, the prosecutor's office said. Without elaborating on the evidence, the office said in a statement that "new facts and circumstances" led them to re-arrest Satish Kalpoe, 18 and brother Deepak, 21.

"They are suspected of the primary criminal act of together with other people committing premeditated murder, alternately together with other people murdering somebody, more alternately rob a person of her liberty with fatal consequences and even more alternately raping somebody," the statement said. "Aside from these suspicions against the two brothers, there are new suspicions, which at this point the prosecutor is not commenting on."

FREDDY

At Large w/ Geraldo Rivera - 08-27-05

BENVINDA DE SOUZA - ATTORNEY : ... The official charges on Freddy Zedan-Arambatzis are intentionally distribute and show sexual images of a minor; intercourse with someone he knows is unconscious and sexual acts with a girl younger than 16 years.

CONCLUSION

The basis for the January, 2007 Superior Court's ruling which denied Paulus van der Sloot compensation on behalf of his family and himself for his three day detainment in regards to his connection to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway was justified. The prosecutor had in her possession evidence of SERIOUS AND STRONG SUSPICIONS.

SUPERIOR COURT - JANUARY, 2007

“With attention to the lying declarations that the son of Paulus, Joran Andreas Petrus van der Sloot (hereafter Joran) gave about his last contact on the 30th of May 2005 with the disappeared Natalee Holloway, the suspicion is not unreasonable that he made himself guilty of a conduct that can be qualified as murder, manslaughter, or kidnapping that resulted in death.

The possible involvement of Paulus with that could then be deducted from the file with the official reports of witnesses, amongst which two people suggested a contact existed between Paulus and Natalee Holloway the night of her disappearance, and a tapped report (that was given by the Prosecutor in her final note 1 to the Court). The tapped information and his declaration that he picked up Joran and Natalee by the McDonalds Palm Beach and brought them to the Holiday Inn, are clearly understood by the Dept. of Justice, and could in the judgement of this Superior Court, be considered as an indication of the involvement of Paulus in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.”

The obvious questions remain:

• Why did Aruban law enforcement and the prosecutor fail to properly follow up on these suspicions?

• Why did they softball interrogations that appear to be scripted?

• Why did they not follow up on the glaring discrepancies between the suspects' stories?

• Why did any of the judges ruling in this case release these suspects?

THE KALPOES VS. DR. PHIL-- WHAT'S GOING ON?

Any word on the lawsuit? I'm betting on NO WORD. Am I right? I realize all civil lawsuits that go into litigation can take a long time, but let's consider this case. It's not a simple situation. I am sure each attorney is throwing down motion after motion on all the different subject matter and procedural issues; jurisdictional issues such as Deepak not being a U.S. citizen, yet the interview takes place in Aruba, Jamie Skeeters, a defendant, is now deceased. As someone who used to work in civil litigation, I can promise you that all these things will delay and delay and delay...and I can see this case drag on for YEARS. UNLESS someone settles...and I would HOPE Dr. Phil would never do that! Assuming that doesn't happen, I would be very surprised if we hear anything anytime soon.


But remember this... it always must be on the backs of our minds...Deepak et al are trying to cash out on this cow, but WE CANNOT ALLOW IT!

This following video made me laugh out of my chair. While browsing the net I catch this old clip of Geraldo on Bill O'Reilly discussing the infamous Deepak/Skeeters tape. You all know my opinion in that regard, (Read HERE for an old interview I had with Beth regarding the "Skeeters Tapes") so I won't go on any tirade. I just find this video so comical not because of the content and what I believe to be the truth; but because of some of Geraldo's quotes.

You GOTTA watch this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGPa2pO3-NM&mode=related&search=

Quote by Geraldo:

"Gerold Dompig, the CHIEF investigator told me MAN to MAN on the telephone last week just before the 23rd of November he told me on the phone that THEY have the original tapes, the FBI also has a copy and he swore to me that those tapes have been altered. Now who would alter them?"

Then in the next breath he states that they are probably lying because they've lied in the past and botched this case from day one.

But what Geraldo, you just said you trusted Dompig's word because it was "man to man"? Unbelievable! What if it Karin Janssen that told you that...would you believe her "woman to man?"

Geraldo, PLEASE remove your head from your ass. We need some common sense out there.

CONFESSIONS OF A KILLER

*Thank you AGAIN to Natalee's Freebirds for all your hard work and diligence.

THE CONFESSION JUNE 10, 2005

Following what can only be considered a cover up by Aruban officals, Internet bloggers with an obvious agenda to shield the truth in the Natalee Holloway case refer to the confession of June 10, 2005 as an unfounded rumor. However, the Aruban Justice Ministery spokesperson and the Deputy Police Commissioner, respectively, released statements to Fox News and the Associated Press.

These statements confirmed that Natalee Holloway was dead, authorities knew the location of her body and Natalee's family was being taken to her remains. These official statements were based on an admission given by one of the suspects - one of the suspects who Gerold Dompig refused to identify.


1. CONFIRMED DEAD - LOCATION OF BODY IS KNOWN BY AUTHORITIES


On June 10, 2005, a spokesperson for the Aruban Justice Minister made a statement to Fox News that Natalee Holloway was confirmed dead and that authorities knew the location of her body. Fox News confirmed this statement prior to its public release. This statement was later retracted by the Justice Minister but it is logical to assume that the official Aruban spokesperson did not pull the contents of the statement made to Fox News out thin air.


Aruban Minister of Justice Spokesperson - FOX NEWS - 06-11-05

ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Reports conflicted Saturday in developments of the Alabama honor student who has been missing in Aruba for almost two weeks.

David Cruz, a spokesman for the Aruban Minister of Justice (search) told FOX News Natalee Holloway (search), who was on vacation with friends with a graduation trip when she disappeared, was confirmed dead and that authorities knew the location of her body.

However, Cruz later retracted the statement, saying he was a victim of a "misinformation campaign."

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159252,00.html


Rick Leventhal - FOX NEWS - 06-15-05

The next day, another official spoke to one of our producers. Edward Croues, a spokesman for the minister of justice, told Craig Rivera he had "official information" that Natalee was "confirmed dead," and told Craig her father had asked police to take him to the body and to do it before the press found out where it was. We reconfirmed the information with Croues before going on-air with it.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159664,00.html


2. SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED!

Members of Natalee Holloway's frantic family were were directed to the location where Natalee Holloways remains were to be found. Gerold Dompig's official position within the investigation would imply that he had a foundational knowledge to derived from when he stated to the Associated Pressing that one of the suspects admitted that "something bad happened".



Gerold Dompig - CBS NEWS - 06-20-05

Holloway's family rushed late Friday to an old stone lighthouse beside Arisha beach after Deputy Police Commissioner Gerold Dompig told The Associated Press that one of three young men in custody admitted that "something bad happened" to Holloway and was leading police to the scene of the alleged crime.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/06/10/national/main700829.shtml



3. REFUSES TO IDENTIFY SUSPECT WHO MADE ADMISSION


The Deputy Police Commissioner, Gerold Dompig, refused to identify to the Associated Press which of the suspects made the admission that "something bad happened" to Natalee Holloway. However, prosecutors acknowledged that the investigation was at a crucial point.


Gerold Dompig - Fox News - 06-11-05


One of the young men detained admitted "something bad happened" to the woman after they took her to the beach, a police officer said, while prosecutors said the investigation was at a crucial point. But prosecutors refused to comment on the statement by Deputy Police Commissioner Gerold Dompig (search), who told The Associated Press that the man who made that admission was leading police to the scene. He refused to identify which of the three young men who took Holloway to a northern beach the night she went missing made the statement.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159252,00.html



4. AN ANGUISHED FAMILY'S NIGHT IN HELL


On June 10, 2005, the FBI informed Natalee' Holloways mother of the events taking place which implied that her dauther was deceased. Close relatives were notified. The grieving process had begun. It can be assumed that the FBI would not have contributed to Natalee's family ongoing nightmare by sharing information that had not been confirmed by Aruban authorities.


Dave Holloway - THE MERIDIAN STAR - 06-03-28

At some point into this investigation, as time goes on and you don’t find her, you start realizing that things are not looking good. We got that confirmation pretty much from the FBI on June 10. They came to us and said the investigation appears to be heading toward a homicide case.

http://www.meridianstar.com/local/local_story_148205455.html



Beth Twitty - 'Scarborough Country' - 07-12-05


HOLLOWAY TWITTY: And that was the day that the FBI came in, Doug Shipley (ph) came in and said that the way the interrogations are unfolding, there‘s a strong possibility that Natalee may not be alive. That was huge. That was the day that—I think, Joe, everyone buried Natalee that day, on June 10.


And then it just—from there, the night went on. There were body sightings, countless. They were knocking on my door. They thought they found her. Oh, no, they didn‘t. It went on from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. It was horrific.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9813596/



Paul Reynolds - 'Scarborough Country' - 07-12-05


[i]PAUL REYNOLDS, UNCLE OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY: I know that my sister had a meeting with the FBI June 10, Friday. And from that meeting, she became convinced that Natalee was no longer alive. She called her mother and told her that. And our family was—was—began the grieving process. You know, we were told the report would come out the next day. Later that night, we saw the reports that confessions had been made, that something bad had happened. Shortly thereafter, it was retracted. The next morning, there was a report that said Natalee was confirmed dead. And these reports came from the deputy commissioner. They came from the spokesperson from the Ministry of Justice. And then, all of a sudden, these statements and these confessions just disappeared.


SCARBOROUGH: And wait a second. I mean, these confessions were so rock solid that you actually had the FBI coming to you, coming to your family, Natalee's family, saying, we are sorry to tell you this, but there has been a confession. One of these boys has confessed, and Natalee is no longer alive. How do you pull something like that back off the table? Have you had or has your sister had or has anybody in the family had any explanation from Aruban officials whatever happened to this confession, where they buried it?


REYNOLDS: I am not aware of any follow-up information. You know, this seemed to disappear from sight, these confessions did. At the time, we thought that because the investigation is kept secret, we thought it was ongoing, and maybe they just didn't want to release it officially at that time. But, as we see that the appeals, the hearings are showing there's no evidence, but yet we have these confessions, it doesn't make any sense. It's as if they are being hidden or taken away.


SCARBOROUGH: You know, you said—talked about June the 10th. That's when you all were told that the confession had been made, and you said that the family actually started a grieving process. What did the family do?


REYNOLDS: You know, grieving is—it's a difficult process. We were all notified. We exchanged phone calls, making sure everyone in the family was notified. I even had to tell my children, very upsetting to them, very upsetting to all of us.


SCARBOROUGH: Wait, Paul. Are you telling me, back on June the 10th, you told your children, based on the confession of one of these—these punks that took Natalee away from the bar, that Natalee was dead? This was over a month ago. You had to break it to your family, the entire family, Natalee's entire family, because of the confessions, knew that she was dead, and yet here we are over a month later, and they are still claiming they don't have enough evidence to nail these guys?


REYNOLDS: That's absolutely correct. You know, the FBI had informed my sister based on the initial interrogations that that was their belief. That information was given to our family. And it's just—it's a very difficult thing to go through. Grieving should only be a process you have to go through one time. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8551822

CONCLUSION

Unfortunately, this was one of the many emotional struggles with baffling and unexplained results that an American family was forced to experience compliments of Aruban officals associated with the Natalee Holloway investigation.


Beth Twitty - DR. PHIL SHOW - 01-29-06


BETH: "There are times when we're thinking that we need to continue, and of course we're still searching for answers, but it's this rollercoaster ride. And it makes me so angry, Dr. Phil, when I let myself fall for information coming out of an official who represents the island of Aruba. If somebody presents you with false hope and false information, it's devastating."

Karin Janssen/Vivian van der Biezen - DECATUR DAILY - 06-12-05


A statement from the office of Attorney General Caren Janssen late Saturday said, "Information given by non-official sources jeopardizes the ongoing investigation and creates expectations and situations that are not based on fact." Police refused to say Saturday whether they discovered anything that would lead to Holloway, who was last seen in the early hours of May 30.


Referring to Dompig's statement, prosecution spokeswoman Vivian van der Biezen said Saturday: "We neither confirm nor deny any information coming from other sources . . . (about) alleged statements of suspects in this case." http://www.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/news/050612/officials.shtml


Rudy Croes - Associated Press - 06-10-05


Then Justice Minister Rudy Croes told reporters early Saturday morning that the rumor that one of the students had confessed was a lie, throwing the media on the island into confusion and prompting conflicting news alerts from the Caribbean. Croes emphatically denied that any confession had been made. http://crime.about.com/b/a/176635.htm


Rudy Croes - FOX NEWS - 06-11-05


The Minister of Justice confirmed that Natalee Holloway is dead, and police at this hour are taking her parents to the location where investigators found her body. Earlier in the day the Justice Minister flatly denied these reports, but now says it was not an issue of the facts of the case being wrong, but merely an issue of protocol. He says the police source initially talking to the AP had not conferred with his higher ups before, but it appears that the facts were correct all along.

"The second time was when Joran, my brother and I took the camera to Freddy’s house. We delivered the camera to Freddy."

22 June 2005 (P. 179-181 in book)


Translator: There are a few weird sentences that are difficult to translate. These were already marked with (? ? ?) in Joran's book.


D: I’m not going outside much (in prison), since they’re asking too much shit.


S: When you stay on your own, you’ll start to think too much, so don’t stay on your own. Talk to people. Play domino.


D: I’ve told them that they should arrest Freddy as well.


S: The three of us have been arrested, but he just knows the truth.


D: I’ve told them to arrest Koen and Sander as well. Fucking all of them. From me, they won’t get any hint, as long as the truth keeps hanging. None of them are friends, except for us. Do you get it? Do I get it? (<- this is a Dutch saying when “ something doesn’t make sense”)


S: I have nothing, there is nothing, nothing from me and I didn’t do anything.


D: I’m not afraid of that shit.


S: I’m not afraid. I don’t worry.


D: I want them to get (“find”) the girl, so, but preferably alive. But anyway, if they’ll find her dead, yeh, then that’s bad luck for the family. But when they find her, they’ll know exactly who did it. That’s what I all learned from (? ? ?). I want them to get her. I know (? ? ?)


S: I know where I am. I am close to the truth. I’m always close to the truth.


D: I’m not afraid. I do miss mum and all those things. That bores me.


S: Yes. D: Not that I’m afraid. The worst has already happened. I’ve already come to the worst place, so nothing worse than this can happen, do you understand? But I know, that when I get outside (be released) then they are going to pay me very well…


D: I’m not afraid. It also depends on that fucking statement. Yeh, since there’s one (or a) person who changes his story every time. That (person) has made already six statements, I guess. But they are all pure shit (? ? ?) and I’m still in it (here).


S: (? ? ?)


D: You push (? ? ?)


S: And by let give to let go (? ? ?)


D: It is impossible, swa. When you start that car the whole neighborhood will hear it.


S: Anyway, he seems to know everything better.


D: He knows our rule, we trust him as a friend, like a brother to be close with (? ? ?)


S: Anyway, bad luck.


D: And I also trusted Freddy like a brother.


S: Yes.


D: But he also talked shit, that’s why we’ve been arrested.


S: What did he say?


D: He keeps information behind. You know that Van der Sloot trusts Freddy with his life. Freddy knows what has happened. Freddy knows the truth.


S: I know he knows truth.


D: Freddy knows, Freddy knows.


S: I’ve just said, Freddy also knows about the story of what happened, ask him.


D: Freddy knows.


S: Yes, he knows that if that person maybe has told him some details (? ? ?) that I don’t know, but I also know what that person has told me. That is the first and the story that we made up, that I know (? ? ?)


D: That boy is also arrested, no. Steve. He has been solved too, so then it’s solved too (? ? ?)


S: He didn’t do a thing.


D: It has been solved. (…)


D: Up till today, I haven’t told any shit about him, whether he did something with the girl or that the chick…


S: We’ve only told the truth.


D: Yep, because he hasn’t told me anything and I don’t know it. I’m not gonna lie about him. But the more he talks (? ? ?) I would never never never talk shit about him like: “he did do this or that to the girl”, because I don’t know.


S: Must just declare the truth.


D: I’ll never do that. But let him talk shit. I’ll never say something against or about (? ? ?) him. Never, just tell the truth. And that’s also what I’ve always declared in my statements. His attorney will point that out to himself. I’ll never (falsely) accuse somebody.

Source: CBS 48 HOURS, March 22, 2006

Gerold Dompig puts forth the AHATA cocaine story on CBS News in March, 2006: Wherever she was, police now think that while Natalee was with Joran, she died suddenly from an overdose of intoxicants. “We feel strongly that she probably went into shock or something happened to her system with all this alcohol maybe on top of that other drugs which either she took or they gave her and that she just collapsed,” says Dompig. The crime, Dompig suspects, occurred when the body was illegally disposed of. The boys may have acted alone. “We’re not talking about killers here,” he says.


Asked if he has been able to confirm whether Natalee purchased or consumed illegal narcotics during her stay in Aruba, Dompig says, "We have statements claiming that she, that she had drugs. What kind of drugs? "I cannot say," Dompig replied. Dompig notes that police don't have any proof that Natalee used drugs but "that they saw her with drugs in her possession."


Added: Dompig's source turned out to be his brother-in-law Boeti Nar, a convicted drug dealer who lives on the beach selling drugs in Aruba. Dompig was fired for these accusations and other mishandlings in the case.

She is not a drug user. She does not abuse drugs. The only drug we know that she was on at that time was a Z-pac for a sinus infection. If she was drugged, it was because of the last drink Joran gave her …"

Craig Rivera: "It's important to point out that April 14, 2006 there was an arrest made of a 19 year old acquaintance of Joran van der Sloot and the charge was that he was suspected of selling drugs, probably GHB to Joran and the Kalpoe brothers and it's also suspected that this activity may have involved the disappearance of Natalee Holloway."


Geraldo: "Mark Geragos, what do you think? Obviously no dad wants his daughter to be the engine of foul play but it sounds like Dave is making a lot of sense."


Mark Geragos: "Dave makes the most sense of anybody in this story because if they had anything that suggested that these three had anything to do with giving her cocaine and then disposing of the body, even if they weren't the ones who had given her the cocaine but disposed of the body, they already would have arrested them for accessory after the fact and prosecuted them for that, so I think Dave's got it all right. I don't think that any of this makes any sense. If they have somebody who gave her the cocaine or saw her take the cocaine that person would have been prosecuted."


Janine Pirro: "This is about trashing the victim, we do it all the time. How dare somebody say she died of a cocaine overdose when we don't have her body, nobody can prove that. Date rape drug makes the most sense, Mark you're absolutely right. I believe that's what happened."

COLUMNIST PATRICK HURLEY'S RECENT
EDITORIAL ON ARUBA'S ATTEMPT TO
SMEAR THE VICTIM, NATALEE HOLLOWAY:

"Aruba is still trying to prove to the world it is a safe island that is free from criminal activity. They continue to claim that Ms. Holloway’s death was a tragic accident brought on by her own lack of responsibility when it came to drugs and alcohol. This argument is tantamount to claiming that Pearl Harbor was caused by the irresponsible Navy leaving their ships out in the harbor forcing the well-intentioned Japanese air force to mistake Hawaii for bombing exercises in the Sea of Japan. Natalee Holloway will never be defined as a cocaine user in life or in death despite the Aruba publicity machine and the criminals who oil it."

PAULUS AND HIS "BUDDY SYSTEM"

**Thank you Natalee's Freebirds for this great submission! Rock on!

A clear picture has emerged in regards to Paulus van der Sloot and his connection to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The image appears to reveal that professional and personal relationships within all levels of the Dutch/Aruban administrations, as well as the judiciary, have resulted in preferential treatment - preferential treament which implies that a friend and colleague will never be held accountable for his participation in the events that occurred on Aruban soil during the early hours of May 30, 2005.

Expatica News - 08-03-06

AMSTERDAM — Dutchman Paul van der Sloot, father of the chief suspect in the Natalee Holloway disappearance case, has been awarded financial damages. A court on the autonomous Dutch island of Aruba ruled that Paul van der Sloot was arrested and detained for four days without due cause last year as part of the investigation. He was awarded 50,000 Aruban Guilders in compensation. This is equal to EUR 21,800 or USD 27,900.


5. COMPENSATION APPEALED

FOX NEWS - 08-08-06

ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Aruban prosecutors said Tuesday they will appeal an order to compensate a man detained in the disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway. A judge on the Dutch Caribbean island ruled on July 28 that the prosecutor's office should pay $30,190 to Paulus van der Sloot, a former justice official in Aruba who was detained in the case for three days, for defamation and legal fees. "The public prosecutor's office does not agree with the amount granted, since this is much higher than usual," spokeswoman Mariaine Croes said.


6. GOOD CONDUCT DOCUMENT

Bon Dia Aruba - 01-06-06

On the basis of this letter, the attorney told the judge that the prosecutor let it be known that the case against van der Sloot was over. The judge said in his decision that he is in agreement with the attorney. Given that the prosecutor herself said that Mr. van der Sloot is no longer a suspect, which according to the judge can be looked at as the prosecutor saying that the case is over, since the prosecutor will no longer pursue the case. This signifies that Paul van der Sloot will soon start working as a lawyer in Aruba and the case he brought forth against the Public Prosecutor will not go forward since he obtained his good conduct document, which is the document he was missing to be registered as a lawyer.

9. COMPENSATION DENIED - DETENTION JUSTIFIED

Aruba Diario - 02-14-07

The whole case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway gets a different twist now that the information has come out from no less than the Superior Court, and in which mention is made of the declarations of witnesses and a phone tap that show or give an indication that Paul van der Sloot had on two occasions personal contact with Natalee during the night that she disappeared. Mention is made that, according to one or more official reports of the phone tap and also the declaration of Paul van der Sloot himself, that Paul fetched Joran and Natalee at McDonald and took them to the Holiday Inn. Based on this information, the judicial authorities and the police had at that time a justified basis to arrest Paul van der Sloot based on different suspicions.

THE SUPERIOR COURT RULING

The implications encompassing the rulings of the Superior Court in January, 2007 are very far reaching, and many questions are left unanswered. The ruling which denied Paulus van der Sloot compensation and the ruling which deemed that his detention was justified were based on Paulus' own declaration as well as incriminating wiretaps.


1. Was the Judiciary protecting Paulus van der Sloot?


*Why was Paulus van der Sloot released after only three days of detention on suspicion of being involved in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway?


*Why was Paulus van der Sloot declared in a ruling by the Aruban court to no longer be a suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway?


*Why was Paulus van der Sloot initially awarded compensation for wrongful detention by the Aruban court?


Inquiring minds want to know if the judge/s who ruled in these three court proceedings were unaware of the wiretap and declaration which were revealed by the Superior Court in January, 2007 or - was there preferential treatment involved? Also - was the judge/s unaware of interrogator Lt. Roland Tromp's contention that Paulus van der Sloot changed his declaration regarding his knowledge/participation in the events pertaining to the morning of May 31, 2005?


2. Was Karin Janssen part of the coverup?


Karin Janssen's professional capacity dictated that she was in a position of knowledge when she wrote the letter of recommendation on Paulus van der Sloot's behalf - the letter of recommendation which was required if Paulus was to receive his accredidation as a qualified attorney. As the prosecutor for the Natalee Holloway investigation - Janssen had to have been aware of the evidence revealed by the Superior Court in January, 2007 which denied Paulus compensation for wrongful detention and also deemed his detention as justified.


Also - when the letter of recommendation was submitted - the prosecutor of the investigation had to have been aware of interrogator Lt. Roland Tromp's contention regarding Paulus' changing declarations concerning the morning of May 31, 2005. Inquiring minds want to know why Karin Janssen bowed to the threat of a lawsuit for non-compliance and thereby composed the letter of recommendation.


3. Why does Paulus van der Sloots' non-suspect status as well as his attorney status remain unchanged?


When the January, 2007 ruling of the Superior Court is considered - the rulings which deemed that Paulus' detention was justified based on his own declaration as well as incriminating wiretaps - inquiring minds want to know why the earlier court decision that ruled Paulus was no longer a suspect has not been reversed and ... why does this man continue to legally hold a position as a practicing attorney on the Island of Aruba?

GRACE: … Jossy, regarding the connection, what I perceived to be a close connection between the judge, Paulus Van Der Sloot and the retired chief of police who initially handled Natalee`s case, Van Der Stratten, were they friends?


MANSUR: Of course, they were friends. It stands to reason they were friends because Paul Van Der Sloot had many friends within the police department; he had many friends within the Department of Justice. And he had many friends with -- and he was friendly with all the judges in Aruba. He worked out of the same office as they did and did the same work


Lt. Roland Tromp - Interrogator - CBS NEWS - 08-05-05

Tromp, who declined to provide details about exactly what investigators believe happened to Holloway, said that Paul van der Sloot has also changed his account the night Holloway vanished.

"Why should you do that if you are telling the truth?" he said.

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!
