FAILURE TO PROSECUTE - PART 1



VIDEO BOMBSHELL - Dompig: "They did ‘have sex’ with Natalee"


Eighteen months after the disappearance of Natalee Holloway on May 30, 2005 in Aruba , officials have failed to prosecute any of the suspects involved with the crimes committed against Natalee.

Against the backdrop of the prosecutor’s failure to charge any suspects in this case, a sordid tale of corruption, cover up, and collusion is revealed through altered statements going uncontested by the ALE , statements that appear to be missing from the case file, missing portions of suspect police statements, and missing, lost or destroyed evidence.

Recent reports of a meeting between former chief of police, Gerold Dompig and Diario Newspaper Editor, Jossy Mansur reveal startling information, and make us again question why these criminals have not been prosecuted.

JOSSY MANSUR TO DANA PRETZER: I have a video tape of Gerald Dompig that they do have sufficient material to bring these boys in on kidnapping and rape. Which would be 8 years imprisonment.

According to Gerold Dompig, the three boys admitted "that they did ‘have sex with’ this girl when she was going in and out of consciousness”. This is a fact.

What happened to these missing statements? Where is the missing evidence?

Were these things intentionally removed from the case file in order to avoid going forward with a prosecution?

If their own Police Chief was saying there was sufficient material to charge and prosecute these criminals – why did the prosecutor fail to do so? This list of missing items from the case file makes us come to the obvious conclusion that there has been a concerted effort to avoid such a prosecution. Was this at the hands of law enforcement? The prosecutor’s office? The judges? Or a combination of all three?

A. MISSING SUSPECT STATEMENTS

DID THE COVERUP BEGIN PRIOR TO THE TWITTYS SETTING FOOT ON ARUBA?

01. May 30, 2005 - KALPOE BROTHERS AND JORAN VANDER SLOOT

Deepak Kalpoe claims in his official statement of June 10, 2005 that he vacuumed his vehicle prior to picking up Joran Van der Sloot on Sunday May 29, 2005. He remembers telling interrogators that his vehicle was very clean because he had vacuumed his car the prior evening. This would imply Deepak spoke to authorities on May 30, 2005. Where is Deepak's official statement of May 30, 2005?

On July 12, 2005 Anita stated in a Joe Scarborough interview that Joran was picked up from school by police on Monday, May 30, 2005. Where is Joran's official statement of May 30, 2005?

On June 29, 2005 in a secretly recorded conversation in a police van, Satish Kalpoe tells Joran he told police about the ‘choller’ in his first police statement. We’ve seen the statement from Satish given on 5/31/05 – this would indicate his first statement was given prior to that. Where is Satish’s official statement of May 30, 2005?

02. MAY 31, 2005 - JORAN VAN DER SLOOT

Paulus Van der Sloots's official statment of June 23, 2005 confirms that a statement was taken from Joran on May 31, 2005 and that statement was signed.

03. JUNE 10, 2005 - ADMISSION BY JORAN, DEEPAK OR SATISH

On June 10, 2005 two official Aruban representatives released statements to the media that one of the suspects admitted the "something bad happened" to Natalee Holloway, she was confirmed dead, the location of her body was known, and authorities/family were being led to the scene by the suspect who made the admission.

04. PAULUS WITNESS STATEMENT - PAGE(S) MISSING

The June 18, 2005 Witness Statement of Paulus Van der Sloot is incomplete - at least one page is missing.

05. KOEN GOTTENBOS

In October, 2005 Aruban authorities approached Dave Holloway and informed him that Koen Gottenbos could possibly be the key to solving the case. Nevertheless, Koen was never interrogated again in spite of the promises of Gerold Dompig. The assistant prosecutor, Amalin Flanegin, quit because she believed that Koen lied when he was interrogated in the initial stages of the investigation, and Dompig refused bring him in again. A meeting that took place between Koen's father and the investigators could possibly reveal an explanation.

06. STEVE CROES

Steve Croes was detained for ten days under suspicion of "murder and kidnapping as well as being an accessory to murder". Croes admitted he lied when he supported Joran, Deepak and Satish's fabricated declaration that Natalee was dropped off at the Holiday Inn.

07. FREDDY ALEXANDER ZEDAN-ARMBATZIS

Freddy was questioned as a witness in the initial stages of the investigation, after which Anita van der Sloot telephoned him to find out what he told police. Freddy was later detained when Deepak and Satish were arrested for a second time. Deepak and Satish implied in the leaked police vehicle recording that Freddy is aware of the truth regarding what happened to Natalee Holloway, and Jossy Mansur confirmed. Reportedly, Freddy was told by Joran that Natalee was missing on May 30, 2005 – prior to her family arriving on the island and making contact with the suspects.

08. MICHAEL DOMPIG

Michael Dompig, son of Gerold Dompig, was detained regarding information he claimed to have that pertained to Geoffrey van Cromvoirt involvement with Natalee Holloway. Michael also made Dave Holloway aware of possible activity on the Gottenbos boat at the time Natalee disappeared.

09. LORENZO VAN RIJN

Lorenzo van Rijn was questioned in the initial stages of the investigation in connection to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Why?

10. GUIDO WEVER

Guido Wever was questioned three time by Aruban authorities and twice by Dutch investigators in the initial stages of the Natalee Holloway investigation. At the end of May, 2006 he was detained for six days under suspicion of "murder, heavy battery and kidnapping".

B. MISSING EVIDENCE

01. PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT’S ATM TRANSACTIONS - RECORDS

It has been rumored since the initial stages of this investigation that Paulus Van der Sloot made two ATM withdrawals sometime between 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM on the morning that Natalee Holloway went missing. Were these records ever obtained by Aruban officials?

02. COMMUNICATION AND INTERNET RECORDS

Karin Janssen claimed that communication and internet records were allowing a clear picture to emerge surrounding the activities of the morning that Natalee Holloway went missing, and she was centering her case around these records. These records clearly showed Joran in the vicinity of the high rise hotels when he made two calls to Deepak’s phone – thus refuting his claims of being home at the time of the second call. Were these records ever presented to a judge?

03. FABRIC – FORENSIC REPORT

Was the fabric which appeared to match Natalee Holloway's blouse sent to Holland for forensic testing? Where is this fabric today?

04. BLACK BELT – FORENSIC REPORT

In the area of his search Art Wood found a black belt which appears to be the same belt in Joran possession in an image on his website. A forensic report has never been revealed and the belt was never returned to Art Wood despite his requests.

05. NOTE WRITTEN BY DEEPAK TO JOHN CHARLES CROES REGARDING SEXUAL ACTIVITY

In Deepak Kalpoe's official statement of June 9, 2005 he admitted when confronted by interrogators, that he did indeed write a note to his friend, John Charles Croes, in which he claimed that Natalee Holloway had initiated sexually activity with him. Where is this evidence of communication between John Charles Croes and Deepak Kalpoe?

06. SECURITY CAMERA RECORDINGS

(a) Excelsior Hotel

The security camera recordings of the Excelsior Casino would verify both Joran and Paulus movements as related to time as well as any interaction either of them may have had with Natalee Holloway on the evening of May 29, 2005.

(b) McDonald's Parking Lot

After leaving the Excelsior Casino on May 29, 2006 Joran states to Greta that his father picked him up at MacDonalds at 11:00 pm, and Paulus confirms this pick up. However, Beth and other witnesses present that first night claim Paulus originally stated that he pick up Joran at McDonald at 4:00 AM on the morning of May 30, 2005. Beth requested on June 5, 2006 that authorities check security cameras at the McDonald parking lot. Did Aruban authorities act on this information?

(c) Carlos 'N Charlies'

The security cameras at Carlos 'N Charlies would reveal time frame, Natalee's condition as well as Joran, Deepak, Satish and Natalee's actions and interactions throughout the 45 minute interval. If such cameras exist – did Aruban authorities view them to confirm or refute the suspects’ claims?

(d) Holiday Inn Entrance/Lobby

The security guards were detained although it had already been revealed by Beth Twitty that Natalee had not return via the entrance/lobby which would imply that a security guard could not have approached her. Was this footage kept from the judge of instruction who extended the detention of these innocent men?

(e) Racquet Ball Club

Joran claims in his official statement that he played tennis prior to going to the Wyndham Casino on the afternoon of May 30, 2005 while have a friend back up this alibi. Art Wood discovered that Joran never played tennis that afternoon. Was video footage available for authorities to have disputed this claim made by Joran?

(f) Wyndham Casino/Radisson Casino

Paulus Van der Sloot calls Joran from his cell and then announced to the Twitty group that Joran was gambling at the Wyndham, yet Joran claimed that he had just left the Radisson and was still in the parking lot when his father made that call. Was this video footage ever viewed by authorities who could then have questioned Paulus on why he chose to lead them and the victim’s family on a wild goose chase that night?

07. BLOODY MATRESS – FORENSIC REPORT

The bloody mattress that was located in the Grapefield Beach area was found on June 5, 2005 and determined the same day that the blood was not human. Why was the DNA determined so quickly, yet the fabric from Deepak Kalpoe's vehicle required forensic testing done in Holland to determine that the stains were not human?

08. FABRIC FROM DEEPAK’S VEHICLE – FORENSIC REPORTS (ARUBA/HOLLAND/QUANTICO)

The stained fabric from Deepak's vehicle was identified as human DNA by the Aruban Prime Minister, the prosecutor as well as the FBI prior to being sent away for testing. However, the findings of the forensic testing that was conducted in both Holland and the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia revealed that the stains were cleaning fluid. How could human DNA tested in the field morph into cleaning fluid?

09. SNEAKER WITH BLOOD STAIN – FORENSIC REPORT

Early in the investigation Beth Twitty was informed by Aruban police investigators that blood was found inside one of Joran's tennis shoes that he had worn on the morning of May 30, 2005. Beth was assured by investigators that the blood would be forensically tested. However, the findings have not been revealed.

10. ‘DONKEY’ BONE- FORENSIC REPORT

Early in the investigation a bone was found on the beach and then turned over to Aruban authorities. When the finder later inquired about it, she was informed that the only person on the island who could determine the DNA was on vacation. Eventually the ALE announced that the bone was not human, that it belonged to a donkey. Reports conflict whether the bone was sent to Holland for forensic testing.

11. BONE WITH "FLESH" FOUND BY A TOURIST – FORENSIC REPORT

A tourist found a bone with flesh to the north of the Fisherman's Hut that appeared to be human. It was turned it over to High Commissioner, Ronnie Bernadina. Reports conflict whether the bone was then sent to the Rijks Laboratorium in Holland for forensic testing. Nobody from the Aruban investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway has responded to queries.

C. MISSING WITNESS AND SUPPORTING STATEMENTS

01. BREAKIN AT FISHERMAN'S HUT - CARETAKER AND FISHERMAN

FBI obtained a declaration from a fisherman regarding a large fish trap and a knife that were stolen in a break-in at the Fisherman's Huts the morning that Natalee Holloway went missing. Chief Dompig claims no knife was in the ‘official’ report made to Aruban authorities. Why would Dompig claim an obvious falsehood?

02. ALBERTO GROENEVELD AND CLAUDIO ELDRIDGE – DEEPAK'S VEHICLE

At 2:30 AM on the morning of May 31, 2005 .... Alberto Groeneveld and Claudio Eldrige observed Deepak Kalpoe's vehicle inside the fence of the Van der Sloot property. These men told Natalee’s family that they climbed the fence and recording the tag (license) number. At this particular time Joran claim to be at the Radisson Casino - that he was gambling while Deepak waited. As of June 23, 2005, investigators had not take official witness statements from Alberto Groeneveld and Caudio Elridge. Have these witness statements ever been taken?

03. MARRIOT BEACH FISHERMEN

On the morning of May 30, 2005 Marriot Beach fishermen did not observed anyone near the Fisherman's Huts. However, at approximately 3:00 AM they did observe a jeep-type vehicle in the area close to the beach. Was this statement ever presented before a judge to refute Joran’s claims of having left Natalee at that beach?

04. WITNESS WHO OBSERVED BODY BEING PLACED IN A WHITE PICKUP

In the area of the Holiday Inn on the morning of May 30, 2005 a hotel worker observed and reported three men placing a body in a white pickup truck. A short time later authorities were overheard on a police frequency issuing a bulletin to stop a rented white Toyota pickup. The hotel worker's report should be in the Natalee Holloway case file.

05. NEIGHBOUR - WASHING/CLEANING DEEPAK'S VEHICLE

Shortly after 3:00 AM on the morning of May 31, 2005 Deepak Kalpoe was observed by a neighbor cleaning his vehicle. "Ants" were the reason given by Deepak. The neighbor retained an attorney. Is this witness statement in the case file?

06. WITNESS WHO OBSERVED VEHICLE DRIVING AROUND THE POND

TJ Ward, a private investigator hired by Natalee's family, found a witness who claimed to have observed Deepak Kalpoe's vehicle driving around the pond near the Racquet Club for a few days following the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Was Deepak ever questioned about his activities?

07. POLICE REPORT CONTAININGTAG (LICENCE) NUMBER OF PICKUP OBSERVED AT THE LANDFILL

The landfill witness, Junior, came forward to Aruban authorities on June 3, 2005 and claimed to have observed a body being placed in the landfill on June 1, 2005. He also recorded the licence (tag) number of the white pickup vehicle involved. ALE claims that the landfill was searched in the area specified to no avail. Two months later Junior approached Natalee's family with the same story. Are both of Junior's statements and the recorded tag number in the Natalee Holloway case file? Whose white pickup truck was this? Was it the same truck seen near the Holiday Inn?

This victim and her family have thus far been denied justice.
They deserve a competent investigation, and a just prosecution.
We will not let up until this is achieved.
