Nelson Oduber takes a cue from his friend Hugo Chavez
Was it not enough that Prime Minister Nelson Oduber controls cable television, land line telephones, cellular telephones, and the internet provider on the island?
Was it not enough that Oduber promoted his own agenda to protect Aruba’s reputation where tourism was concerned?
Was it not enough that Oduber had his own secret “task force” working behind the scenes to malign Natalee Holloway and her family?
Apparently not.
This Aruban newspaper and its’ editor choose to stand up for their fellow Aruban citizens, along with American tourists who come to their island and get victimized – again and again. By pointing out their government's wide-spread corruption, the citizens of Aruba are finally being given an avenue to change their own fate.
El Diario is now being thrown to the wolves by Prime Minister Nelson Oduber. El Diario tossed down the gauntlet of truth at the current government’s feet (MEP) and their response?
Boycott El Diario – control the message.
ORANJESTAD – In an open letter, staff and management of the morning paper Diario have asked the Queen’s attention for the commercial boycott called by the MEP and her leader, Prime Minister Nelson Oduber.
MEP demanded the owner and also director and chief editor Jossy Mansur to publicly apologize to MEP and premier Oduber for all the articles he has published with the intention to damage the reputation of the government and MEP. Mansur has till last Monday to do this, otherwise, the MEP will announce a boycott against Diario.
Since Mansur ignored MEP’s ultimatum, the party decided on a total boycott of the newspaper. No information must be given to Diario. MEP-member had to cancel their subscription as per immediate.. They are also not allowed to buy the paper separately. They cannot place ads in the Diario.

With all the communication providers in his pocket, Nelson Oduber made this announcement the night Joran Van der Sloot made a confession in the Natalee Holloway case. Immediately after this hint from Oduber, the confession was being touted as a misinformation campaign by the MEP's Minister of Justice, Rudy Croes.
Prime Minister Nelson Oduber went on (Aruban) national radio Friday night to say if something happened to Holloway, it would hurt the island of 97,000, which depends on tourism and has a reputation as one of the safest spots in the Caribbean.
http://kutv.com/topstories/topstories_story_161111313.html Friday, June 10, 2005
Prime Minister Oduber set out to control the message very early on in the case of Natalee Holloway. In our earliest of publications, we pointed out to you the persons from this committee involved with internet postings misdirecting the focus of this victim and her family's search for her.
A.M. Digital Prime Minister Nelson Oduber presents “anti incorrect news” committee
by A.M. Digital Posted: Jun 30, 2005 17:21
UTC ORANJESTAD - At the weekly Government press conference Prime Minister Oduber officially presented a committee that was just appointed and with the task to minimize the effect of all the negative and incorrect information that is being disseminated on Aruba in connection with the disappearance of the American student Natalee Holloway.
“The committee has been working for some time behind the screens without too much publicity, and function on behalf of the people of Aruba in order to minimize the impact of the negative news that is being sent out” The basic mission of the committee is to bring correct information and counteract all publications that are not based on the truth and to explain the function of our judicial institutions and how they operate.
Crimes not Punished – It’s not just the tourists at risk
Diario editorial 4/16/07
The truth can hurt when it’s exposed without circumlocution! What could have led the mediocrity of the MEP party to lose their heads in such an ugly manner? Could it be the bribery of 1 million guilders?
The day I said that Nel Oduber’s government is anti American too, I came with the proofs to demonstrate it, but I left out a couple very painful for Nel, but since he again lost control over his tongue, here are more proofs: Natalee Holloway (American) and the American girl that his son mistreated and then wanted to rape in his own home!
What did Nel’s government do in the case of Natalee?
* Hide their heads in a hole like ostriches so as not to see the truth of what was happening,
* try to fire Jan and Karin because they did not belong to the group of political yes-men of his government;
* put the interest for American tourism money above the value of a human life;
* try to throw the blame on the family of the girl that disappeared, instead of going all-out against the three suspects who are responsible for the bad name Aruba got in other countries, and rightly so because those in power did not lift one finger to defend the victim, but went all out behind the curtain to make the family responsible for the negative image Aruba got, and not against the three suspects in whose company the girl disappeared. She too is an American!
Then his unbelievably stupid anti-American statements; the case of his own son who tried to rape an American girl in his own home! Now there is another American arrested because he pulled a gun against a person that attacked his wife, then committed destruction against her property. A government that has characterized itself as an Anti-American one with unquestionable concrete proofs.
The MEP party is a party of delinquents and promotes delinquency
* a Minister (Ramon Lee) who raped a woman, was accused by her to the Police, and was never even questioned!
* Another Minister (Rudy Croes)who brought in young girls from Santo Domingo and wanted to force them into prostitution with him and his friends;
* another Minister (Nilo Swaen) who was accused by his own department head of manipulating figures to make the government look good;
* another Minister (Rudy Croes again) whose departments sold permits to foreigners, and under whom driver's licenses were also being sold;
* another Minister (the Prime Minister Nelson Oduber) who is a habitual liar and will stop at nothing to carry out his Chavez-inclined plans for Aruba;
* members of Parliament of the MEP party who were caught by the police in drunken driving (Junior Arends) and hit and run (Robert Maduro)
And so much more delinquency and violations of our laws it would take an encyclopedia to hold them! They are a group of the most corrupt public figures ever to participate in Aruban politics. Just go over the Holloway case, and now the Michael Saladin case, and you immediately know the anti-American sentiments of those now in power in Aruba.
Ask the FBI to interrogate Richad Lacle, who will soon be serving a prison sentence in Florida, to find out who is behind this group that offered a big bribe to Nelson Odbuer's party and was never denounced to the police or the prosecutors in Aruba. My attention was brought to this case by the revelation of a letter containing a bribery of 1 million guilders to Nelson Oduber and his party.
Perhaps Oduber should be reminded of his own words to Fox news from June 10, 2005:
"We work together, we care for people ... Nobody stands above the law."
When the message a corrupt government is controlling gets dashed by the truth, provided by an honest voice striving for an Aruban government of integrity and honor, what is your next move?
To silence that voice.
To silence that one method of communication that the corrupted government has no control over.
There is only so much dictatorial behavior an honorable society will tolerate - hopefully the door opened by El Diario will be utilized by the Aruban citizens in demanding transparency, honesty, and objectivity within their government.
Truth and Justice are not just the American way - they are the ways of true humanity.
The truth may hide at times, it may get distorted, but it will never be silenced.
Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!

SUPERIOR COURT - PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT'S DETAINMENT WAS JUSTIFIED
Lead Detective Roy Tromp - CBS NEWS
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.
A. BETH TWITTY CLAIMS - PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT DENIES
Beth has claimed from day one that Paulus Van der Sloot stated on the morning of May 31, 2005 in front of his residence that he had driven to McDonalds at 4:00 AM on the morning that Natalee went missing to pick up Joran and ?. This info was recorded in her journal, and witnessed by all others at the Van der Sloot residence that night. Within two and half weeks of that encounter, Paulus Van der Sloot denied Beth's claims and insisted that he had stated that he had picked up Joran at 11:00 PM on the evening of Mar 29, 2005.
Beth Twitty - NANCY GRACE (CNN)
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Oh -- oh, it`s a very critical detail. And the night that we arrived on the island -- you know, Jug does not misinterpret a 4:00 AM time pickup to 11:00 PM. I mean, Paulus Van Der Sloot stated that he picked up at 4:00 AM on May the 30th. Then -- we don`t know who they were, but then even as far as June 16 and June 17, Mr. Van Der Sloot was still stating this 4:00 AM pickup. Only until around -- maybe it was when he was picked up or arrested did he change it to 11:00 PM that I had knowledge of.
Beth Twitty - 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct'
TWITTY: ...... And, you know, what Jug and I had discussed last night was that, you know, we go back to the very beginning. And that‘s the reason why Paulus Van Der Sloot was arrested in connection with Natalee‘s disappearance, because he had lied to the authorities by saying that he had changed his pickup time.
Paulus Van der Sloot - June 23, 2005 - Suspect Statement
To your question whether I picked up Joran on the 30th of May 2005, in the early morning hours, I can state the following. I have previously stated that I had picked up Joran on Sunday May 29th at approximately 23.00 hours near Mc Donalds. Subsequently I woke up at that Monday morning at approximately 05.45 hours. In the hours between I had gone to sleep and I did not hear Joran leaving or hear him return home.
B. SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE VERIFIES BETH TWITTY'S CLAIM
On February 15, 2007 it was revealed that a Superior Court judge denied Paulus Van der Sloot's motion for further compensation. When "taped information and Paulus' declaration" were considered, the judge ruled that Paulus' detainment had been justified.
Superior Court - ARUBA BOYCOTT - Feb. 15/07
The following is a literal translation (from Diario paper) as it appears in the sentencing of the Superior Court for Paulus Van der Sloot.
"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 taped report (that was given by the Prosecutor in her final note 1 to the Court).
The taped 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 judgment of this Superior Court, be considered as an indication of the involvement of Paulus in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway."
C. "TAPED INFORMATION AND DECLARATION"
Why were the "taped information and declaration" pertaining to Paulus Van der Sloot previously disregarded by four separate rulings in favor of Paulus?
1. Paulus Van der Sloot - Scope of Search Warrant Reduced
Beth Twitty - MARTHA MACCALLUM (FOX)
TWITTY: Well I think they will always have to look at there were two personnel involved from the Aruban Justice Department and that is why we don’t have any evidence and that’s what Joran’s attorney will have to be reminded of. It’s because of Bob Witt and Ben King stopped the search warrants. It was made to initially search the entire area of Mon. 19 the garden, the buildings and everything but on the spot high ranking employee of the Justice Office Bob Witt reduced the search warrant to only the room of Joran so that’s why we don’t have any evidence because of involvement of the obstruction from the Aruban Justice Department personnel.
2. Paulus Van der Sloot - Released from Detention
Amigoe - GETAGRIP ARUBA –
... Paul van der Sloot was detained from June 23rd up till the 26th in connection with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The examining-magistrate decided then that there was not sufficient evidence against Van der Sloot and released him.
3. Paulus Van der Sloot - No Longer a Suspect
Amigoe - GETAGRIP ARUBA –
The Common Court of the Neth.Antilles and Aruba decided that Paul van der Sloot is no longer a suspect in the Holloway case. The court decided this in a lawsuit where Paul van der Sloot asks the National Government for compensation due to damages caused by his persecution in the Holloway-case.
4. Paulus Van der Sloot - Awarded Compensation
Expatica News
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.
Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!

CORRUPT ARUBAN POLICE AND JUDGES REVEALED!
ARUBA LAW ENFORCEMENT AND DUTCH JUDGES IGNORE INCRIMINATING STATEMENTS BY JORAN VAN DER SLOOT AND THE KALPOE BROTHERS
On June 25, 2005 Joran Van Der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers, Deepak and Satish, were being transported in an Aruba police van while their conversation was being secretly recorded. The statements made by the three suspects revealed unequivocally that they know pertinent and in-depth details about missing Mountain Brook student Natalee Holloway.
ARUBAN POLICE IGNORE INCRIMINATING STATEMENTS BY THE SUSPECTS
Why did the Aruban investigators not follow up on such incriminating statements in their future interrogations of the three suspects? The gold mine of information included in that conversation was never tapped by law enforcement. It is interesting to note that segments of the conversation pointed to Joran’s father, Paulus Van Der Sloot, as having involvement in Natalee’s disappearance - yet questions about this suspect were ignored in all but the very earliest of police interviews. Could this be because Paulus Van Der Sloot was being protected by his close friend and lead investigator Jan van der Straten who just happened to be spearheading the case?
DUTCH JUDGES RELEASE SUSPECTS FROM GIVING FURTHER TESTIMONY
The Dutch judges from Curacao also share culpability in ignoring these statements by the three suspects. One in particular was Judge Robert “Bob” Smid who is reported to be a friend of Paulus Van Der Sloot, and had even stayed at his home while visiting the island. On August 30, 2005 Judge Smid issued a ruling that Joran should be held another 30 days, flew back to Curacao and immediately faxed in a reversal of his ruling. Two and a half weeks later Joran Van Der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers were all released from giving further testimony in the case.
On September 3, 2005 Joran Van der Sloot was released from police custody and fled to Holland. Drawing on an obscure Dutch judgement in another case, the judge ruled that Joran’s schoolwork was apparently more important than giving any further testimony in the Natalee Holloway case, even though he and the Kalpoe brothers disagree on key points about what happened the night Natalee disappeared.
DID THE ARUBAN POLICE AND DUTCH JUDGES REALLY WANT THIS CASE SOLVED?
Judging by their actions, neither the Aruban police or the Dutch judges cared enough about the victim, Natalee Holloway, to dig any further into the case. The three main suspects’ statements in the police van clearly indicate they have knowledge of what happened to the Alabama teenager, yet the law enforcement and judicial arms of Aruba’s government turned a blind eye to their criminality in the case.
In the early weeks of this case the Aruban government sent out media representatives such as Arlene Ellis-Schippers to explain that Dutch law is different from American law. Is it common in Dutch law to ignore incriminating statements made by key suspects? Is it common in Dutch law for judges to release key suspects to flee the country and never have to testify again? If so, you have to wonder if any visitor is safe on Dutch soil.
SEGMENTS OF THE POLICE VAN TAPES:
1- In this part of the conversation Deepak is urging Joran to tell the truth, saying he could straighten everything out by telling the truth. Note that Joran doesn't argue with this.
D says to J: You can straighten everything out in one shot, you know
J says to D: Why?
J says to D: You can straighten things out too
J says to D: Straighten things out how?
D says to J: You have to tell the truth.
2- Here the three suspects are pointing fingers at each other, threatening to expose each other’s involvement in the crime. Are they implying that Joran got himself into this trouble? Were they merely assisting him?
J says to S or D: Police told me about you now, if you go against me then that’s when I will go against you.
Brothers laugh: Heheheheheh
S says to J: We didn’t put you in this problem.
3- Here Joran says that he will laugh if they find Natalee alive. Does this imply that she is deceased, or will be by the time they find her?
J says to D: And I’ll laugh if they find the girl alive, f*** you.
4- In this portion the three suspects indicate that something bad happened to Natalee. Why wasn't this finger-pointing followed up on by the Aruban and Dutch interrogators?
J says to the brothers: I know very well that you’re scared.
J says to the brothers: If you did something bad to the girl, then we will see.
S says to J: I’m not scared.
S says to J: What do I have to be scared about?
D says to J: I want them to find the girl.
5- In this segment Deepak accuses Joran of telling the police that he (Deepak) buried Natalee at the Fisherman’s Huts. Joran denies telling the police this, despite the fact there is a police statement purporting this very accusation.
D says to J: You’re going to say shit about me in regards to the girl, that I buried the girl at the Fisherman’s Hut.
J says to D: Who said anything about a burial, I didn’t say anything about a burial.
D says to J: You declared that.
D says to J: Stop with the bullshit.
J says to D: I didn’t say anything about a burial.
6- In the part of the transcript Joran indicates that if the police find Natalee they will find something that will incriminate them. They will see what "sh*t"? Is this referring to some bad condition they left her in?
J says to the brothers: If they find the girl, then they will see the sh*t.
7- It has been well documented that Joran’s father Paulus Van der Sloot told the three suspects the day after Natalee disappeared that “if there is no corpse, there is no case.” Why would the elder van der Sloot give the three suspects this advice if they had no idea whether Natalee was alive or not?
J says to the brothers: You said that he (Joran’s father) said that if there’s no corpse there’s no case, or I don’t know what more sorts of shit.
J says to the brothers: That’s not true, the only thing he (Joran’s father) said that if there’s no body there don’t have a case.
8- And in this segment Deepak seems to indicate Paulus Van der Sloot is involved in the crime.
D to J: You don’t give a shit about your the members of your won family
J to D: The only thing that I can think of is my family I do what my family tells me to do
J to D: Right, retard
D to J: Your own father, unbelievable
J to D: Wat my father,it is your [plural your] fault that he is arrested. I didn’t declare anything against my father, you [plural you] declared against my father
9- Here again the Kalpoe’s indicate that it was Joran’s fault that they were in the predicament they were in.
D says to J: We have suffered a lot because of you.
10- In this part of the conversation the Kalpoe’s say that the original lie of dropping Natalee off at the Holiday Inn was done for Joran’s benefit.
J says to the brothers: Who made the declaration about the guards; it was you and not me. Why? Because I didn’t want to bring anyone into the problem who has nothing to do with this case.
D or S yells to J: The lie was for you.
J says to the brothers: It was you who admitted that.
D or S again yells to J: The lie was for you.
11- This final statement from Deepak to Joran unmistakably indicates that the three suspects know something bad happened to Natalee (drugs and rape?) and that Joran will go to prison if they find her.
D to J: The’re going to give you 15 years if they find the girl
*WHY DID ARUBA LAW ENFORCEMENT NEVER FOLLOW UP ON THESE STATEMENTS BY THE THREE SUSPECTS THAT SO APPARENTLY INDICATE THEY WERE INVOLVED IN NATALEE HOLLOWAY'S DISAPPEARANCE?
*WHY DID THE DUTCH JUDGES RELEASE JORAN VAN DER SLOOT AND THE KALPOE BROTHERS UNCONDITIONALLY WITH SUCH INCRIMINATING STATEMENTS ON THE RECORD?
*READING THIS TRANSCRIPT IT IS VERY CLEAR THE THREE MAIN SUSPECTS KNOW SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO NATALEE HOLLOWAY. WHY HAVE ARUBAN AND DUTCH AUTHORITIES NOT ACTED ON THE CASE? ARE THE DUTCH COVERING FOR THE VAN DER SLOOT FAMILY BECAUSE THEY JUST HAPPEN TO BE DUTCH?

MORE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN RESPONSE TO AN INJUSTICE?
What happened to the Dutch investigation into this crime?
Could this conflict of interest have played a part in the lack of action by the Dutch officials?
Interior Minister Johan Remkes was called upon by Rudy Croes to take over the Natalee Holloway investigation in August of last year.
Official Remkes is the individual who recommended Paulus van der Sloot be appointed to the bench of the Joint Court.
Aruba's Justice Minister Rudy Croes sent a letter last week to Netherlands' Internal Affairs Minister Johan Remkes and to another Dutch official asking the Dutch police to handle the case, saying little progress had been made, the Solo di Pueblo newspaper reported.
If Dutch police take over the investigation, they will have access to all case files and their own office, according to the newspaper, which didn't cite its source. Remkes will visit the Dutch Caribbean islands, including Aruba, next week, authorities said in the Netherlands.

Remkes being called upon to act in this position of authoritative leadership over the Dutch investigation into this case where a personal judicial appointee of his was a suspect, whose son is still considered the prime suspect, leads us to question if that is the reason the Dutch have not moved forward with this investigation?
We've all seen how the Aruban investigation was handled, does it appear the Hague failed to learn Aruba's lesson?
Will they now share the same shameful results Aruba is currently experiencing?

PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT - PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT - Part 1 of 4
CONTENTS
01. PICKUP TIME - 11:00 PM or 4:00 AM?
02. THE CASINO VIDEO RECORDING
01. PICKUP TIME - 11:00 PM or 4:00 AM?
John Kelly has stood firmly behind Beth Twitty's claim that approximately three weeks into the investigation Paulus Van der Sloot changed his story that was relayed on May 31/05 regarding when he picked up Joran from McDonald’s. Paulus stated that Beth and Jug Twitty were mistaken when they insisted that he said 4:00 AM on the morning of May 30/05. He claimed that he had actually stated a pick up time of11:00 PM on the evening of May 29/05. The lead detective, Roy Tromp, confirmed that Paulus changed his story. Jug Twitty could not understand why statements were not immediately obtained from all witnesses who were present on that morning. On June 5/05 Beth requested that security cameras from McDonalds be checked. As of Dec. 12/05 Aruban authorities had yet to comply with her request.
However, in the second week of Feb /07, it was revealed by the Aruban Justice Department that Paulus originally declared 4:00 AM on the morning of May 30/05 as the time he picked up Joran from McDonalds and they therefore, had justification for his detainment.
If this information was forwarded to the residing judge by the prosecutor, why was Paulus released from detention; why was he declared no longer a suspect and why was he awarded compensation for wrongful arrest?
John Q. Kelly 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' = Jan. 12/06
KELLY: ….. He also made contradictory statements about when he had picked up his son Joran that night.
Beth Twitty On the Record w/ Greta - Oct. 2/05
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: I think I just saw specific little details that just have started eating me alive just, I mean, from details of that first night, when we met Joran and Paul and Deepak, you know, just little details that have been eating away at me on this pick-up time at McDonald's, you know, Paul van der Sloot stated specifically and emphatically he picked them up at 4 a.m. I have it documented in my journal too many times to know that...
Beth Twitty On the Record w/ Greta - Oct. 2/05
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Yes, 4 a.m. on May 31, he stated — I documented in my journal — that he stated to the police spokesperson that he picked Joran up at 4 a.m. Again, on June 17, I have it documented in my journal that they were going to question Paul that day about the 4 a.m. pick-up. And then it changed. That's why I was so shocked that day that you and I went to his home. That was the first time that he had changed to it 11 p.m., to the 29th. So that's just one example of many little details that are just driving me crazy now that I'm back home.
Beth Twitty Nancy Grace - Aug. 12/05
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Oh -- oh, it`s a very critical detail. And the night that we arrived on the island -- you know, Jug does not misinterpret a 4:00 AM time pickup to 11:00 PM. I mean, Paulus Van Der Sloot stated that he picked them up at 4:00 AM on May the 30th. Then -- we don`t know who they were, but then even as far as June 16 and June 17, Mr. Van Der Sloot was still stating this 4:00 AM pickup. Only until around -- maybe it was when he was picked up or arrested did he change it to 11:00 PM that I had knowledge of.
Beth Twitty 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - March 21/06
TWITTY: ...... He had initially told the witnesses that he himself had picked up Joran Van Der Sloot at 4:00 a.m. on the night of the 30th. But he later changed it about three weeks into the investigation that he did not pick up Joran at 4:00 a.m. on the 30th.
Beth Twitty [ARUBAN BOYCOTT - Dec. 12/05
MICHELLE: "One of Joran's and PVDS's alibis was that Joran was picked up at the McDonald's. PVDS originally told you the first night you met him that he picked Joran up at 4:00 a.m., but he later gave a statement that he picked Joran up at 11:00 p.m. Do you know if there are security cameras in the McDonald's parking lot to prove this claim?"
BETH: "On June 5, we asked officials to check to see if there were security cameras, and to this day, nothing has ever been done. No one has looked into it."
Roy Tromp 48 Hours Interview - Aug. 5/05
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.
Jug Twitty 'Scarborough Country' - Aug. 11/05
TWITTY: … 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.

Paulus Van der Sloot Official Witness Statement - June 18, 2005
On May 30th 2005, in the nightly hours, I did not pick up Joran from anywhere. I slept solidly through the night without waking up.
Paulus Van der Sloot NOVA Interview - June 28/05
Paulus van der Sloot: ...... During the apprehension I was told that I was suspected of complicity to murder manslaughter and usurpatory freedom spoliation (kidnapping). During the session with the judge [5], it was told that the suspicion originated, because that Monday night, when so many people were standing there in front of the door, I allegedly declared that at four o'clock, I picked up Joran. And someone else, allegedly declared that I picked up Joran and Natalee, while my own declaration was, directed at police officers, that I picked up Joran at eleven o'clock at the McDonald's.
That is, of course remarkable that the public prosecutor's office adds two witness statements of people who were standing somewhere in the back, and not the witness declaration from the police officers, where I direct myself to, and directed myself to, as much as possible.

The following is a literal translation (from Diario paper) as it appears in the sentencing of the Superior Court for Paulus Van der Sloot. " ...... The taped information and his declaration that he picked up Joran and Natalee by the McDonalds Palm Beach and brought them to the Holiday Inn[/color], are clearly understood by the Dept. of Justice, and could in the judgment of this Superior Court, be considered as an indication of the involvement of Paulus in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway."

02. THE CASINO VIDEO RECORDING
The leaked casino video recording appears to capture Paulus Van der Sloot conversing with Natalee Holloway at the Black Jack table. If it is revealed that the person is Paulus, the implication would be that both Joran and Paulus lied regarding Paulus leaving the Excelsior casino during the Poker Tournament. Another implication would be that Judge Rick Smid who released Paulus from detention; declared he was no longer a suspect and awarded him damages for wrongful detention was either uninformed or he gave one of his own preferential treatment.
Joran Van der Sloot On the Record w/ Greta - Mar 1/06
VAN DER SLOOT: .... And yes, so my dad had come with me. And halfway through, he — because my mom at the time was in Holland, halfway through, he had to go back home to my little brother because he was home alone. And I took his place at the poker tournament because I had lost earlier. So I went in and I took his place and I played for him.
Paulus Van der Sloot Official Witness Statement - June 18/05
On May 29th 2005, at approximately 16.00 hours, I went with Joran to the “Free Carribean Stud Tournament” in the Holiday Inn. During the break, at approximately 18.30 hours, I went back home. My youngest son Sebastian who was playing at a friends house was due to be dropped off at home around that time. Joran, with my permission, took over my seat because he had been eliminated earlier.
John Q. Kelly 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - April 4/06
COSBY … John, first of all, is there a possibility that Paulus might have been talking to Natalee the night that she disappeared?
JOHN Q. KELLY, HOLLOWAY FAMILY ATTORNEY: Well, if you look at the surveillance video footage, it appears that he’s the one sitting directly next to her and tries to engage her in conversation a couple of times. And it’s sort of ironic that it’s his father who brought his underage son to a casino and left him there after he left, with access to his line of credit, to put this unfortunate chain of events in process.
COSBY: And did he ever say that he had talked to Natalee or not before?
KELLY: No, it’s never even been addressed before whether or not that’s Paulus in the videotape there sitting next to her. And it certainly appears to be to me.
Kimberly Guilfoyle THE LINEUP - June 9/06
Kimberly: It has been one year since the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Unfortunately we are left now with more questions than answers. What we do know is that Joran and the Kalpoe brothers were the last people seen with Natalee Holloway, which is the reason why they still remain to this day the main suspects in the case.
As for Paulus, sources say he is the person next to Natalie in the casino.
Jossy Mansur Dana Pretzer Show - Dec. 14/06
DANA: When you look at this case, a question keeps coming up. I am looking at the picture on my PC. It is the alleged picture of a person in the casino with Natalee that looks a lot like Paul. Has there been any update on this issue?

01. PICKUP TIME - 11:00 PM or 4:00 AM?
02. THE CASINO VIDEO RECORDING
01. PICKUP TIME - 11:00 PM or 4:00 AM?
John Kelly has stood firmly behind Beth Twitty's claim that approximately three weeks into the investigation Paulus Van der Sloot changed his story that was relayed on May 31/05 regarding when he picked up Joran from McDonald’s. Paulus stated that Beth and Jug Twitty were mistaken when they insisted that he said 4:00 AM on the morning of May 30/05. He claimed that he had actually stated a pick up time of11:00 PM on the evening of May 29/05. The lead detective, Roy Tromp, confirmed that Paulus changed his story. Jug Twitty could not understand why statements were not immediately obtained from all witnesses who were present on that morning. On June 5/05 Beth requested that security cameras from McDonalds be checked. As of Dec. 12/05 Aruban authorities had yet to comply with her request.
However, in the second week of Feb /07, it was revealed by the Aruban Justice Department that Paulus originally declared 4:00 AM on the morning of May 30/05 as the time he picked up Joran from McDonalds and they therefore, had justification for his detainment.
If this information was forwarded to the residing judge by the prosecutor, why was Paulus released from detention; why was he declared no longer a suspect and why was he awarded compensation for wrongful arrest?
John Q. Kelly 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' = Jan. 12/06
KELLY: ….. He also made contradictory statements about when he had picked up his son Joran that night.
Beth Twitty On the Record w/ Greta - Oct. 2/05
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: I think I just saw specific little details that just have started eating me alive just, I mean, from details of that first night, when we met Joran and Paul and Deepak, you know, just little details that have been eating away at me on this pick-up time at McDonald's, you know, Paul van der Sloot stated specifically and emphatically he picked them up at 4 a.m. I have it documented in my journal too many times to know that...
Beth Twitty On the Record w/ Greta - Oct. 2/05
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Yes, 4 a.m. on May 31, he stated — I documented in my journal — that he stated to the police spokesperson that he picked Joran up at 4 a.m. Again, on June 17, I have it documented in my journal that they were going to question Paul that day about the 4 a.m. pick-up. And then it changed. That's why I was so shocked that day that you and I went to his home. That was the first time that he had changed to it 11 p.m., to the 29th. So that's just one example of many little details that are just driving me crazy now that I'm back home.
Beth Twitty Nancy Grace - Aug. 12/05
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Oh -- oh, it`s a very critical detail. And the night that we arrived on the island -- you know, Jug does not misinterpret a 4:00 AM time pickup to 11:00 PM. I mean, Paulus Van Der Sloot stated that he picked them up at 4:00 AM on May the 30th. Then -- we don`t know who they were, but then even as far as June 16 and June 17, Mr. Van Der Sloot was still stating this 4:00 AM pickup. Only until around -- maybe it was when he was picked up or arrested did he change it to 11:00 PM that I had knowledge of.
Beth Twitty 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - March 21/06
TWITTY: ...... He had initially told the witnesses that he himself had picked up Joran Van Der Sloot at 4:00 a.m. on the night of the 30th. But he later changed it about three weeks into the investigation that he did not pick up Joran at 4:00 a.m. on the 30th.
Beth Twitty [ARUBAN BOYCOTT - Dec. 12/05
MICHELLE: "One of Joran's and PVDS's alibis was that Joran was picked up at the McDonald's. PVDS originally told you the first night you met him that he picked Joran up at 4:00 a.m., but he later gave a statement that he picked Joran up at 11:00 p.m. Do you know if there are security cameras in the McDonald's parking lot to prove this claim?"
BETH: "On June 5, we asked officials to check to see if there were security cameras, and to this day, nothing has ever been done. No one has looked into it."
Roy Tromp 48 Hours Interview - Aug. 5/05
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.
Jug Twitty 'Scarborough Country' - Aug. 11/05
TWITTY: … 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.

03. FORWARNED!!
On the morning of May 31/05 Beth and Jug Twitty were informed that Deepak's vehicle had been observed inside the fence of the Van der Sloot's property. As their group waited in the parking lot of the police station prior to going to the Van der Sloot's residence, Art Wood suspects that Paulus was forwarned that Natalee's parents were on the way to his place. His reasoning is based on the fact that Deepak's vehicle was no longer inside the fence when the group arrived a half hour later. If a call was placed from within the police station to the Van der Sloots residence, could this be considered preferential treatment?

....... In the meantime Mr. Alberto Groeneveld had received information that the silver car where Natalee was last seen departing from Carlos & Charlie’s, had been spotted at a house in Montanja. After that the group went to the Noord police station, where two agents rode together with the group to the house in Montanja. This resulted to be the house of Mr. Paul van der Sloot and his family. The silver car apparently was not there anymore.
04. THE RUMORED CELL PHONE CALL
Since day one there has been a rumor circulating that on the morning when Natalee Holloway went missing there was a 6:30 AM cell call to the Santa Lucia area of the Island originating from a cell registered to the Van der Sloot's. Paulus Van der Sloot claims in his official witness statement that he slept throughout the night. Howver, on July 3/05 he conceded that he may have made a call. Karin Janssen claims that she was building a case around communication records and the picture was becoming clear. Could Paulus have been afforded preferential treatment from Rick Smid, the judge who released him from detainment; declared him no longer a suspect and awared him compensation for wrongful apprehension?
Greta Van Susteren On the Record w/ Greta - July 3/05
I am most anxious to find out if there was e-mail traffic or phone traffic among the three in custody in the early morning hours of May 30. I am also curious whether Paul van der Sloot used his phone between midnight and 7 a.m. on May 30.
He told me no... he told the Dutch TV correspondent on camera no... but after the interview with the Dutch TV correspondent, he pulled him aside and said maybe he did make a call and that he was not sure.
Honest mistake or does he fear to be in conflict with phone records now in custody of the police? These questions answered would be, in my mind, a huge jump forward in trying to sort out what did or did not happen.

According to John, in this conversation Deepak conceded that he was present at a meeting when the Holiday Inn account was fabricated and SO WAS PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT.
Why would Judge Smid not take this revelation into consideration when he ruled that Paulus could be released from detention; declared him no longer a suspect and awarded him compensation. It can be assumed that the investigative team obtained a statement from Mickey John regarding this conversation with Deepak; forwarded this statement to the prosecutor who, in turn, presented it to Judge Smid. If this did not occur it can be concluded that Paulus Van der Sloot received preferential treatment.

06. COMPENSATION
It would be assumed that Paulus Van der Sloot's attorney, Arie Swaen, has an indepth knowledge of Dutch law and when he stated that a case for compensation as a result of wrongful detainment could be inititiated on behalf of his client when the Natalee Holloway case was closed he was drawing on that foundation of knowledge.
Why did the judge disregard Dutch law and award compensation to Paulus Van der Sloot prior the Natalee Holloway case being closed?
Arie Swaen - Paulus Van der Sloot's Attorney DIARIO Aruba - Oct. 22/05
The judge indicated that he will give his decision on the 11th of November. According to lawyer Swaen, if the judge decides that the case is closed for Paulus van der Sloot, they will then initiate a case of damage and prejudice, for the days he sat in the police station jail. If the case is not closed, they will then keep looking for when this will be the case so they can follow up. Translation Credit - http://getagripmonkey.blogspot.com/
Paulus Van der Sloot awarded Compensation Expatica News - Aug. 3/06
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.
Paul van der Sloot, a judge in training on Aruba at the time, was arrested on 22 June 2005 on suspicion of conspiring on or after the fact with his son. He was released without charge four days later but still considered a suspect. He won a civil action for unjust detention against the Aruban authorities in November of that year and has now been awarded damages. He is no longer a suspect. The judge in the civil case stressed his ruling related solely to Paul van der Sloot.
Mariaine Croes FOX NEWS - Aug. 8/06
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.
07. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The conflicts of interest that abound in the Natalee Holloway case in regards to the working and personal relationships between Paulus Van der Sloot and those who held official positions encompassing the investigation were purposely overlooked. The provisions provided in Aruban law regarding this issue were obviously disregarded.
Paulus Van der Sloot NOVA INTERVIEW - June 28/05
Reporter (Twan Huys): Which function do you have here at the island? Because many stories go around about that. What is your function?
Paulus van der Sloot: I am a replacing member of the joint court of justice of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba [1] and I am appointed for a period of three years, from January the first, 2003, until January the first, 2006.
Reporter (Twan Huys): So, you are replacement judge?

Ben King New Blaze - July 1/05
The minister of justice, the political party MEP and the Dutch judges are portraying their partiality by bringing in a judge from a different Island to rule over the case yet the officials that are preparing the investigation are all friends and family of the suspect. How partial is this? Those who are preparing the investigation/case have access to all declarations, forensic reports, suspects and suspects family.
Several reports by the international press have proven that the van der Sloot family is very close to the investigating team (The Dutch prosecutors office). Paul van der Sloot is a high ranking official in the judicial system and is close friends with Ben King, whom now works at the prosecution office. King was reportedly seen visiting Paul van der Sloot at his home when the Arubian police were performing a search of the van der Sloot residence.

It would be assumed that Paulus Van der Sloot's attorney, Arie Swaen, has an indepth knowledge of Dutch law and when he stated that a case for compensation as a result of wrongful detainment could be inititiated on behalf of his client when the Natalee Holloway case was closed he was drawing on that foundation of knowledge.
Why did the judge disregard Dutch law and award compensation to Paulus Van der Sloot prior the Natalee Holloway case being closed?
Arie Swaen - Paulus Van der Sloot's Attorney DIARIO Aruba - Oct. 22/05
The judge indicated that he will give his decision on the 11th of November. According to lawyer Swaen, if the judge decides that the case is closed for Paulus van der Sloot, they will then initiate a case of damage and prejudice, for the days he sat in the police station jail. If the case is not closed, they will then keep looking for when this will be the case so they can follow up. Translation Credit - http://getagripmonkey.blogspot.com/
Paulus Van der Sloot awarded Compensation Expatica News - Aug. 3/06
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.
Paul van der Sloot, a judge in training on Aruba at the time, was arrested on 22 June 2005 on suspicion of conspiring on or after the fact with his son. He was released without charge four days later but still considered a suspect. He won a civil action for unjust detention against the Aruban authorities in November of that year and has now been awarded damages. He is no longer a suspect. The judge in the civil case stressed his ruling related solely to Paul van der Sloot.
Mariaine Croes FOX NEWS - Aug. 8/06
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.
07. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The conflicts of interest that abound in the Natalee Holloway case in regards to the working and personal relationships between Paulus Van der Sloot and those who held official positions encompassing the investigation were purposely overlooked. The provisions provided in Aruban law regarding this issue were obviously disregarded.

09. SEARCH OF RESIDENCE
Paulus Van der Sloot had been detained under suspicion of murder and kidnapping as well as being an accessory to murder in the Natalee Holloway case. Nevertheless, initially, he appears to have had the power to refuse a search of his residence. Then when an official warrant was obtained, Justice Bob Wit reduced the scope of the search at the scene. Jug and Beth Twitty's utter frustration which is revealed in the following quotes exemplifies the nightmare that Natalee's family has been experiencing for almost two years.
THE DECATUR DAILY - June 26/05
Aruban authorities have defended their handling of the case, saying meticulous police work takes time.
KARIN JANSSEN:
"You have to build up an investigation. You can't just go in there like a cowboy," Janssen said last week when asked why investigators waited more than two weeks to search the van der Sloot home.
Paul Reynolds PAULA ZAHN NOW - July 14/05
ZAHN: I know you also have some strong feelings that this whole search effort has been compromised. What are you most concerned about here?
REYNOLDS: Well of course for the last two weeks I've been talking about the fact that the police would not allow EquuSearch access to the Van Der Sloot's property. Certainly...
ZAHN: And we should explain, Paul, before you go any further, this is the independent group that came in, a group that volunteered to do this work, an experienced group. And you say they've been denied access on key parts of the island?
REYNOLDS: Right, the Van Der Sloot's private property, which I think is a very important area to be searched.
Jug Twitty NANCY GRACE - Oct. 4/05
JUG TWITTY: Absolutely. I mean I asked -- with a meeting with the prosecutor did you search Paulus` home and she said no. And I said why? And she said because he wouldn`t let us. I`m going I can`t -- he was a suspect. They brought him in for -- held him for two days. I just don`t understand it. That`s what I`m talking about. Nothing was done right in the beginning on this thing, otherwise we`d have an answer.
Beth Twitty FOX NEWS LIVE DESK w/Martha MacCallum - Nov. 28/06
BETH: Well I think they will always have to look at there were two personnel involved from the Aruban Justice Department and that is why we don’t have any evidence and that’s what Joran’s attorney will have to be reminded of. It’s because of Bob Witt and Ben King stopped the search warrants. It was made to initially search the entire area of Montanja 19 the garden, the buildings and everything but on the spot high ranking employee of the Justice Office Bob Witt reduced the search warrant to only the room of Joran so that’s why we don’t have any evidence because of involvement of the obstruction from the Aruban Justice Department personnel.
10. RELEASED AS A SUSPECT?
The Chief of Police stated that investigators suspect Paulus Van der Sloot played a crucial role in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The investigator, Roy Tromp, stated that Paulus had changed his story regarding his knowledge of the events surrounding the morning Natalee Holloway went missing. Inquiring minds want to know why this man was released as a suspect.

ABRAMS: But let's be clear. A person of interest in connection with Natalee's disappearance ... or in connection with something after the fact?
DOMPIG: Both.
Roy Tromp 48 Hours Interview - Aug. 5/05
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.

11. OBSTRUCTS THE INVESTIGATION
The prosecutor, Karin Janssen, concedes that Paulus Van der Sloot was guilty of obstructing the investigation. However, Aruban attorney Arlene Ellis-Schipper, claims that there are no consequences for Paulus as his relationship to Joran deems him exempt. Also, John Kelly claims to have read a delaration of a suspect who states that Paulus gave advice that the prosecutor concedes was not appropriate.
Karin Janssen USA TODAY - June 30/05
Janssen said that the elder van der Sloot had obstructed the investigation by asking a friend of Joran, who had been interrogated by police, what he had told them.
Janssen told MSNBC that he was arrested because investigators believed he was also a suspect in the disappearance.
Karin Janssen 'The Abrams Report' - June 29/05
JANSSEN: The father has spoken with those three suspects and he said he gave them some legal advice, but I think the advices was going further than that. They spoke about the situation that when there is no body, you don‘t have a case and that was already in the first day after the disappearance. And secondly, the father and the mother have asked a friend of Joran, the suspect, the minor suspect, to come to their home to tell them what he has explained to the police. That is, well, I can say, was an obstruction of the investigation.
Arlene Ellis-Schipper 'The Abrams Report' - June 30/05
ARLENE ELLIS-SCHIPPER, ARUBAN ATTORNEY: Well basically obstruction of justice is a criminal offense in our criminal code. However, there is an exoneration for family members in the first degree. So in the case of Mr. Van der Sloot it would not apply.
John Kelly 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - January 12/06
KELLY: .... Paul Van Der Sloot is obviously a shameless individual. When Deepak Kalpoe gave one of his first statements to police, what he said was, “Paul Van Der Sloot advised us to get our stories straight, to not communicate by e-mail, not to use our cell phones, and to get lawyers.”

GEROLD DOMPIG - TRUTH OR DEFAMATION
Aruba's former Chief of Police, Gerold Dompig, has implicated all four suspects, Joran, Deepak, Satish and Paulus, in the events that encompass the morning when Natalee Holloway went missing. The defamation of character pertaining to Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe could be attributed to Aruba's Chief of Police long before Dr. Phil became involved in the Natalee Holloway case.

'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - Nov. 8/05
DOMPIG: I still believe that these boys have been lying, they're still lying, and everybody knows that by now. So there's no doubt in my mind that they know something, they're guilty of something.
'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - Nov. 2/05
COSBY: Do you believe, Chief—you said to me even before this interview that you believe the boys are guilty as hell. Do you believe they‘re involved in her disappearance?
DOMPIG: Yes.
'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - Oct. 17/05
DOMPIG: .... Joran went back and forth with his statements, and he withdrew two statements which he had already given to us. So basically, none of his statements were really trustworthy.
THE ABRAMS REPORT - Oct. 12/05
DOMPIG: Well, it would take me, I think, a little over two days to go over all the inconsistencies. None of the stories match up, let me put it that way. So when it comes to believing this individual, we know in which category to place him.
THE ABRAMS REPORT - Oct. 12/05
DOMPIG: Exactly. And I go by the rule of thumb that, in the first 40 days -- as I said in a different program -- the first 40 days, law enforcement has probably also already spoken to the perpetrators. So we feel strongly that we have already spoken to them. And there's no one else outside this group that could be involved or responsible
THE ABRAMS REPORT - Oct. 12/05
So sometimes people will ask us that, "Are you not tunnel-visioned? Maybe you should look at other possibilities." Of course. We did that. But we still feel that, every time you go on a path, a different path, that path leads back, comes back to these three boys.
ASSOCIATED PRESS - June 12/05
Deputy Police Commissioner, Gerold Dompig, told The Associated Press that one of three young men arrested in the case admitted "something bad Happened" to Holloway and was leading police to the scene. Prosecutors refused to comment on Dompig's statement, and Dompig himself refused to identify which of the three young men who took Holloway to the Northern beach the night she went missing made the statement.
48 HOURS - Mar. 22/06
Dompig laid out the latest scenario of what happened after Natalee was last seen driving off with van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers shortly after 1 a.m. He says investigators think the group did not go to the beach but that they possibly brought Natalie back to the van der Sloots' home.
VANITY FAIR ARTICLE - Jan. 2/06
"The F.B.I. profiled him as a person who never has been corrected by his parents. He's the boss of what happens in that house. He's the boss in the family. He is allowed to do anything.… If a person like that is in a position where a person says, 'No,' well, that person may change completely. Maybe he blew a fuse when she wouldn't have sex with him, and something happened."

The Aruban authorities’ new theory is that someone, someone possibly very close to the young suspects, took the time to carefully hide the body, not once but maybe twice, literally re-burying her.
48 HOURS - Mar. 22/06
Dompig speculates the body was hastily buried once, and that extra accomplices may have been needed to move it to a more hidden location.

VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS - PREMEDITATED STALKING OF AN AMERICAN TEENAGER - PART 4
WE ARE INCLINED TO BELIEVE..................THIS WAS PREMEDITATED - PART 4
Predators are known for telling lies. Look no farther than some of our other infamous killers. This predator, Joran, lied about not previously meeting Natalee, lied about his identity, and told numerous lies about how he got home the morning Natalee disappeared-- yet he says one day he will tell the truth.
Joran and the Kalpoe brothers initially told police investigators they dropped Holloway off at the Holiday Inn where she was staying, but ten days later after being arrested they all changed their stories.
Unfortunately, the investigation had been drastically compromised by the prosecutor and polis who had neglected to arrest these three - knowing these suspects had lied. The Polis knew the "witnesses" lied because within the first 24 hours the Holiday Inn security cameras showed no sign of the Alabama teen having been returned to the hotel.
After admitting he had lied about dropping Holloway off at the hotel, Joran said he left Natalee at the beach near the Marriot hotel, but he continued to lie about surrounding circumstances. Joran has told four different versions of how he got home that night:
1.The Kalpoes dropped him off at home and drove off with Natalee
2. He left her at the beach and walked home
3. Deepak picked him up from the beach near the Marriott
4. Satish picked him up from the beach.
The Kalpoe brothers deny they ever picked Joran up from the beach. In fact, they state they went home, got on the computer and Satish went to bed because he had school the next day.
Why create the first lie if you are innocent?
Why lie about your identity?
Why the lie about when you met Natalee Holloway?
Police chief Gerold Dompig stated: “Joran Van Der Sloot "lies a lot" and it would take days to recount them all.”
The ‘A Current Affair' interview with Jerry Wagschal, showed Joran stating he would tell the truth one day. We are still waiting for the truth about what these criminals did to Natalee Holloway.
Joran and his father know what they did to Natalee Holloway.
THE QUESTION ARISES AROUND THE WORLD AS TO WHY THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT, ARUBAN LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT?
Joran Van Der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers originally told police they dropped Natalee Holloway off at the Holiday Inn into the custody of a black security guard:
They said they dropped her off at her hotel about 2 a.m. and last saw her being approached by a black man in a black security guard uniform before they drove off, a lawyer for the brothers has said.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159327,00.html
VAN SUSTEREN: Did you actually say that to Deepak, or did you think that?
VAN DER SLOOT: And then that's when we — that's when we made up a story to say, you know, that we didn't — that we dropped her off at the Holiday Inn.
VAN SUSTEREN: Whose idea was it to make up the story, yours or Deepak's?
VAN DER SLOOT: It was — it was kind of both ours.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,186707,00.html
After the original Holiday Inn lie was debunked, Van Der Sloot said he left Holloway at the beach and told four different versions of how he got home.
1. Joran tells police he was dropped off at his house and the Kalpoe brothers, Deepak and Satish, drove off with Natalee Holloway:
One of the trio detained since June 9, the Dutch son of a judicial official, is now saying that his two Surinamese friends — who are brothers — dropped him off at his house after he exchanged e-mail addresses with Holloway and said goodnight, Lejuez said. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159327,00.html
2. Joran tells police he left Natalee at the Marriot beach and walked home:
On the record, Greta Van Susteren Wednesday, August 24, 2005-
VAN SUSTEREN: What is it that the phone call at 2:40 in the morning between Joran and your client was about? What were they talking about?
KOCK: Of course, that was not with my client. But my client says that what he was saying was that he was walking home, that he left the girl on the beach and that he's walking home. And afterwards, the call after 3:00 o'clock was to actually call in and say that he got home. So you know, if you look at the distance that it would take you to walk, that also concurs a little bit with the elapsed time between the two phone calls. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,166635,00.html
Vanity Fair article, January 2, 2006
Under questioning, however, Joran did change his story. Instead of leaving Natalee at the Holiday Inn, he now said, the Kalpoes had dropped him and Natalee off at the beach beside the Marriott, a half-mile north of the Holiday Inn; the area is a lovers' lane of sorts. He said Natalee was so drunk she was drifting in and out of consciousness. Joran said he left her at the beach and walked home
http://www.vanityfair.com/commentary/content/printables/060102roco01?print=true
3. Joran tells police Deepak Kalpoe picked him up at the beach near the Marriot:
Joran Van Der Sloot's June 14, 2005 statement to police investigators:
Deepak had said that I have left my shoes at the Marriott Hotel. Deepak told me not to worry, because he'd pick the shoes up tomorrow for me. I had left a pair of white with blue shoes of the brand "K-Swias" [sic], size "14" on the beach. These shoes I bought in the United States.
What I also could mention is that during the drive Deepak told me that he was free the next morning that he didn't have to go to work. I told Deepak that I did have school and that I was tired.
I was left on May 30th, around 3:45 am at my house by Deepak. During exiting the car I asked him if he was going to go online. Deepak told me yes. Furthermore I had told him that I would call him the next day. I had asked Deepak if he could pick up the shoes that I had left on the beach. Deepak told me that he would pick up the shoes immediately. Then Deepak drove away.
4. Joran tells police Satish Kalpoe picked him up at the beach near the Marriot:
Joran van Der Sloot's June 29, 2005 statement to Aruban police:
When I was picked by Satish around quarter to three (02:45am) I was barefoot. I went to sit in front, next to Satish. I don't exclude the possibility that I had sand on my feet. Definitely did white sand from my feet stay behind on the floormat of the Honda. I had left my shoes (sneakers) on the beach. I had told Satish where I had left my shoes (sneakers).
Joran Van Der Sloot says he knows the truth and will tell it one day at his bidding:
Joran Van Der Sloot interview with Carl Wagschal, A Current Affair: WAGSCHAL: Well, I think if you can explain to people what really happened and you were really forthcoming, the more forthcoming you are, the more chance there is of you to get on with your life. VAN DER SLOOT: One day, I will explain exactly what happened. But right now, I don`t -- I don`t feel ready to do that.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0509/28/ng.01.htm
PERHAPS JORAN VAN DER SLOOT SAID IT BEST TO CHRIS CUOMO ON ABC PRIMETIME LIVE:
At the same time, he told "Primetime" that his version of events is hard to believe. When asked why, after all the lying he's done, his word should be credible, he said,
"There's absolutely no reason to believe me."
"I would probably not believe myself, no," he added.
Natalee and her family deserve justice - and we will not let up until they have it.

VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS - PREMEDITATED STALKING OF AN AMERICAN TEENAGER - PART 3
WE ARE INCLINED TO BELIEVE..................THIS WAS PREMEDITATED
PART 3- The night Natalee Holloway disappears Joran Van Der Sloot portrays behavior common to sexual predators who drug their victims.
Joran Van Der SLoot told a bold faced lie about Natalee prior to the night she disappeared and it is documented that he had a pre-meditated plan to go to Carlos & Charlie’s that night, and he had used a false identity with the Mountain Brook students to further his web of deception.
It is well-documented that Joran van Der Sloot showed up at the bar 30 minutes before closing time. Is it typical of Predators to keep their exposure among others to a minimum prior to containing their target? J
oran and Kalpoe brothers coordinated their leaving Carlos & Charlie’s with Natalee by using their cell phones, as the Kalpoe brothers statements reveal. Why would they need to communicate by telephone just to all get in the car (which they knew was parked behind the building so no need to find the car) to leave Carlos & Charlie’s? Why didn't the three of them just meet in the bar, coordinate their exit with Natalee, and all four walk out together?
This gives indication of a plan in which the predators single out a female and make the American tourist think she is going back to the same hotel as the other tourist, in this case Joran van der Sloot, sharing a taxi cab ride. Even Deepak’s statement said it was not the first time he had taken tourists back to the Holiday Inn.
Joran van Der Sloot knew this would be Natalee's last night on the island. It is fairly common for sexual predators to administer date rape drugs to female victims on their last night of vacation because they will be confused the next morning and have to rush to catch their planes back home.
Dave Holloway was told immediately to go down to Carlos n’ Charlie’s, have a beer and wait for his daughter to show back up, but to keep his drink covered, as the locals tend to drug drinks in that bar – which indicates even the cops in Aruba know of this taking place with the tourists on their island by locals.
Every indication demonstrates this was a pattern Joran had used many times before. In one of his interviews Joran van Der Sloot told Greta Van Susteren he had done this with female tourists 20 times before.
Done what?
Drugged and raped young American tourists without consequences? J
oran van der Sloot said he and the Kalpoes rarely if ever went out two nights in a row. Satish Kalpoe indicated that Joran and Deepak were together three nights in a row: the night before Natalee went missing, the night Natalee went missing, and the night after she went missing.
Predatory behavior is to plan, execute the plan, and when something bad happened this time – they covered up what went terribly wrong to Natalee Holloway.
Joran Van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers show up at Carlos & Charlies 30-45 minutes before closing time. On the record with Greta Van Susteren, Fox news:
VAN SUSTEREN: When they picked you up, did you go straight from your home to Carlos and Charlie's?
VAN DER SLOOT: When they picked me up, we went straight there, straight to Carlos and Charlie's.
VAN SUSTEREN: When you arrived at Carlos 'n Charlie's, any idea about what time it is?
VAN DER SLOOT: It was probably, you know, 12:15, I think, 12:30 maybe.
VAN SUSTEREN: How late does it stay open?
VAN DER SLOOT: That night it was open until 1:00 AM. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,186581,00.html
Deepak Kalpoe June 9, 2005, police statement:
A little before 0.00 hours I drove to Joran's house. Joran lives on the address Montanja 19. He lives in his own apartment. We, Satish and me, entered Joran's because he wasn't ready yet. He was still printing a project/something for school. We were inside Joran's place for about fifteen minutes. After that we drove to "Carlos & Charlies". I had parked my car in the parking lot behind "Carlos & Charlies" with the front side of my car parked towards the wall of "Carlos & Charlies". We got out and walked towards "Carlos & Charlies". At that time it was approximately 00:30 (12:30am) hours.
Joran and the Kalpoe brothers do not associate while in Carlos & Charlies, allowing the three to distance themselves from each other in order to play out their exit strategy with a “taxi”:
ABRAMS: And let's be clear. You're talking about the chief suspect, Joran van der Sloot, and you've been looking for any sort of as you say, predatory past. So what happened? Someone just came up to you?
TWITTY: Well yes, I had a beautiful 18-year-old blond-headed girl from New Jersey and you know was able to recant an encounter that she had with Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe during the month of April '05.
TWITTY: You know it's interesting how he is able to try to work his way in and connect and establish himself in that—in Carlos N' Charlie's, was walking her around and these other tourists and was able to point out Satish and Deepak Kalpoe. They were sitting ironically in the same corner, the same stools that they were seated at in the picture that's been all over international media, so that must be their spot that they wait while Joran is working. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8838598
Meanwhile, the Kalpoes were coordinating their plan to pose as taxi drivers for Joran and Natalee on their cell phones:
Satish June 11, 2005 police statement-
I saw that my brother had called me. I know that my brother didn't have any more credit on his mobile phone and had called him back. My brother answered his phone and asked where we were. I told him that we were still inside Carlos & Charlies. He had told me that he was already at his car. I told him that we would come to where he was. I said to Joran that my brother was already at the car and if we were leaving, because Carlos & Charlies was about to close. Joran said that it was OK that we would be leaving and that the girl would be coming with us.
Deepak June 11, 2005 police statement-
I walked to the parking lot where my car was parked. When I arrived at my car I sat on the ground next to my car, because my brother had the keys. I then called my brother on his mobile phone. I had almost no more minutes on my pre-paid phone so I called him in a way that produces what in English is called a “miss call”. After that my brother phoned me back, I asked him where they were and he said they were still inside and that he would come. After a while Satish came walking, I asked him where Joran was and he said that Joran was still inside.
Joran van der Sloot says he'd done this 20 times before and nothing ever went wrong:
On the Record, Greta Van Susteren- March 3rd, 2006
VAN DER SLOOT: And you're like, you know, what, you know what are you doing? Because it was — it was a normal — it was a normal thing for us to do, you know, go to our friends, go to the beach, talk to American tourists, you know, then go out with them and have a good time and, you know, nothing — nothing ever bad has ever happened. I mean it's happened probably 20, 20 times nothing has ever gone wrong.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,186707,00.html
Joran says it was highly unusual that he and the Kalpoes would ever go out two nights in a row. However, Satish Kalpoe's statement indicates Joran and Deepak were together three nights in a row:
VAN DER SLOOT: Two nights in a row? Never, really, because he works a lot and — yes.
VAN SUSTEREN: When you met up with him on the night of the 29th, the night going into Natalee's disappearance, when was the most recent time before that that you'd spent time with him?
VAN DER SLOOT: The most recent time before that?
VAN SUSTEREN: Yes.
VAN DER SLOOT: I don't remember exactly when it was.
VAN SUSTEREN: More than a week or two weeks? Any idea?
VAN DER SLOOT: No, it was probably a week.
Satish 2nd police statement on June 10, 2005:
Where had the three of you gone on the night from Saturday night to Sunday night on May 28th 2005?
We had gone to Carlos & Charlies.
Was it just the three of you who had gone to Carlos & Charlies on Saturday May 28th 2005? Yes, it was just the three of us that went to Carlos & Charlies.

VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS - PREMEDITATED STALKING OF AN AMERICAN TEENAGER - PART 2
WE ARE INCLINED TO BELIEVE..................THIS WAS PREMEDITATED
PART 2- Joran Van Der Sloot creates a false identity, and lies about when he met Natalee
In Part 1 we established the fact that Joran Van Der Sloot lied about his actions leading up to going to Carlos & Charlies the night Natalee Holloway disappeared. In an interview with Greta Van Susteren, Joran lied about having no intentions of going to the bar that night, but had actually called a friend earlier in the afternoon telling him the American girls were going to be there and asking him to join him.
In Part 2 we expose more lies. Joran told many media sources he had not met Natalee until that night, when in fact he had been hanging around the teen’s hotel during the week according to statements by Natalee's friends, and Aruban officials. In these days he had lied to the Mountain Brook teens, telling them he was a tourist on Aruba, was 19 years old, and plays soccer in Holland.
Why would Joran Van der Sloot make up a false identity? Why would Joran lie about himself and stalk Natalee for days prior to the night she disappeared?
Joran Van Der Sloot creates a false identy:
Ruth McVey - Mountain Brook Student
Greta Van Susteren: Do you remember any conversation at all you had with him, like even if it was like about chips, or anything at all?
Ruth McVey: Only that he said that he was 19 and played soccer at a school in Holland.
On the Record w/ Greta - "Wall of Hope" Interview http://scrux.com/natalee/mbinterview.htm
Joran Van der Sloot claims he only met Natalee that night:
VAN DER SLOOT: I remember — I remember when I first saw her. I went there, I went to the casino, the Excelsior casino at the Holiday Inn, to play a free poker tournament. I remember walking in there and sitting at a — playing a — first playing a poker tournament, then afterwards, when I was done, going to a blackjack table and sitting down. And I remember her and her friends coming up to the table. They sat down. They wanted to play blackjack.
On the Record w/ Greta http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,186581,00.html
March 1, 2006
When in fact he had been hanging around the teen’s hotel during the week:
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The Natalee Holloway case's main suspect, Joran van der Sloot, was no stranger to the Mountain Brook group. He'd been hanging out with them all week, according to one of Holloway's friends, NBC 13 reported.
http://www.nbc13.com/news/4658874/detail.html
NBC 13 Birmingham- June 27, 2005:
Bill O'Reilly Fox news:
O'REILLY: Had you seen her with this guy before, before this night?
JORDAN: No, but he was in our casino a lot.
O'REILLY: Now, did you know Van Der Sloot? Did -- how did you know who he was?
KISSEL: I didn't know him, but I had seen -- he had been around the hotel and the casino with her and with her friends, her closer friends, just hanging out around the hotel for the last few days, two or three days.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159764,00.html
FBI 302 of Lee Ashford Broughton:
While at the casino, Broughton and Holloway came across Joran Last Name Unknown (LNU). Holloway had met Joran LNU earlier in the day on the beach.
Bryan Reynolds, Mountain Brook student:
Reynolds said he saw the suspects hanging out at the Holiday Inn where the Mountain Brook High School graduates stayed in Oranjestad. When Holloway went missing, Reynolds said they were the first people he considered as potential suspects.
"That was the first people who came to mind," said Reynolds, who said Holloway is one of his best friends

On the Record- with Greta Van Susteren:
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: But you weren't here, so how would you be in a position to even know who this young man was?
BETH TWITTY: Through some of her classmates. And this young man had spent time with these children. He had been with them for a couple of days. They knew this young man. They knew his first name. They had spent hours with him. So it wasn't a secret. It wasn't a secret who she left with.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159779,00.html
Tyra Banks Show- May 3, 2006:
BETH TWITTY – Well the night that Natalee disappeared really was no different than any other night that the students had been on that island. It just happened to be that it was their last night and they had been around Joran Van Der Sloot now for a period of about two days and have spent many hours with him at the casino and just around the Holiday Inn and it was their last night I think there was some unique circumstances that were going on that night the established closed earlier than what it normally does. http://arubanboycott.blogspot.com/2006/05/recap-of-tyra-banks-show-with-beth-and.html#links
