CORRUPT ARUBA GOVERMENT IGNORED THE VAN DER SLOOTS' MANY LIES IN THE NATALEE HOLLOWAY CASE

In the first 23 days of the Natalee Holloway investigation Joran Van Der Sloot, who has admitted he was the last person to be seen with Natalee Holloway, told five different versions of how he got home that night. The first lie, told in conjunction with Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, was that the three dropped Natalee off at the front entrance lobby of the Holiday Inn, where she was staying. This lie was quickly debunked when the security camera footage was reviewed and there was no sign of Deepak Kaploe’s silver Honda ever coming near the front entrance of the hotel, nor any sign of Holloway near or entering the lobby on May 30, 2005.

What is particularly interesting in this lie is that all three suspects pointed to leaving Natalee in the hands of a black security guard, which, of course, never showed up on the security camera either. Despite this fact, the Aruban Authorities arrested two black security guards five days later fully knowing Joran and the Kalpoe brothers had lied to them.

These arrests allowed the three suspects another five days to roam free to cover any evidence of a crime against Holloway. The two security guards were later released when Aruban law enforcement admitted they could find no evidence they had anything to do with Natalee Holloway’s disappearance. Both the Aruban Prosecutor and the lead investigator, who happened to be a close friend of the Van Der Sloot family, have received harsh criticism for these actions, and rightfully so as they carry strong overtones of corruption.

When Joran Van Der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers were finally arrested on June 9, 2005 they were still touting the Holiday Inn story, but that quickly changed when their statements were taken as suspects instead of witnesses and it had been clearly proven their first story was a lie. What would follow was a variety of differing stories by Joran Van Der Sloot as to how he got home that night, none of which have been proven to be true. In fact, two of these “versions” of his story were told before he was arrested, more than likely to confuse the police investigation, which was slowly pointing towards his possible guilt.

On and around June 12-13 Joran tells a barrage of differing stories, more than likely reacting to what he is learning the Kalpoe brothers have claimed in their own police statements. Such leaks to the van der Sloots would not be unrealistic considering the close friendship between the lead investigator and the van der Sloot family.

First Joran says the Kalpoe`s dropped him off at his house and drove off with Natalee. Next he says he walked home after the Kalpoe`s dropped him off at the beach with Natalee. Then he states that Deepak Kalpoe picked him up and gave him a ride home, leaving a sleeping Natalee at the beach. Why the police interrogators never bothered to question such a broad collection of accounts is a mystery unless corruption is suspected.

On June 28, 2005 Joran van der Sloot changed his story again, this time saying Satish Kalpoe picked him up at the beach. This change may have been due to him finding out there were computer records that showed activity on Deepak's computer at the time he was supposed to be picking Joran up. Once again, Joran seems to be evolving his story by what he has learned through police discovery.

Both Kalpoe brothers deny ever picking Joran up at the beach. But Joran’s father Paulus has been caught in a lie that adds another layer to the story. In wire tap records revealed in a court appeal denying him compensation for the 3 days he was arrested, information was exhibited of a conversation in which PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT SAID HE PICKED UP JORAN AND NATALLEE AT 4:00 AM. Several people heard this very statement from him the night her family arrived on Aruba, but he changed his story several weeks later to say he picked Joran up at 11:00 pm.

The big question here is: Why would Joran van der Sloot change his story so many times if he were innocent of Natalee Holloway's disappearance? Innocent people have no reason to lie and are virtually always vindicated by the truth.

JORAN VAN DER SLOOTS EVOLVING STORIES

1. MAY 30, 2005- JORAN VAN DER SLOOT SAYS THEY DROPPED NATALEE OFF AT THE HOLIDAY INN

FROM JORAN VAN DER SLOOT'S PERSONAL DIARY:

"I then suggested we say we dropped her off at the hotel and Deepak agreed saying there were no cameras in the lobby so no one would ever know the difference."

HOLIDAY INN DROP OFF
Joran Van der Sloot Suspect Statement June 9, 2005

We drove back to the Holiday Inn Hotel to drop Natalee off there. When we arrived there Deepak parked on the left lane and not on the right lane that lies in front of the Lobby. Natalee got out the back door on the right side and she fell to the floor. I got out of the same car door and helped her get up. After I did that Natalee said to me not to touch her and she walked into the direction/towards the lobby. I saw that she touched a pillar. We did not kiss and I got back into the car. Then we drove home.

And according to Mickey John in an interview with Greta Van Susteren Deepak told him Paulus Van der Sloot helped the three made up the Holiday Inn story:

ON THE RECORD-
Wednesday, June 29, 2005

JOHN: He said a story being made up about dropping the girl of at a Holiday Inn, was all something being made up. He, and the Dutch guy, and the Dutch guy's father, they sit and made up the story.

VAN SUSTEREN: The father, too?

JOHN: All of them. They made up...

VAN SUSTEREN: Did he specifically say — Deepak specifically say to you the father was part of that?

JOHN: Deepak told me that he and the family sit down and they made up the story.

VAN SUSTEREN: So family and not father?

JOHN: Well, I don't know who the family consists of. But I know the father was involved, according to him. They made up the story, and they say that they didn't drop the girl off, because they said they would give the police something to (INAUDIBLE) when somebody is missing in Aruba, they would find them a few days later by a crack house or with some beach bum or something.

VAN SUSTEREN: How certain are you that that your memory is correct that the family or the father was involved in creating this cover-up story?

JOHN: Well, he (Deepak) told me — he, all of them, sit and make up the story. He, Dutch guy, and the family. He told me they made up a story that they said they dropped the girl off at the Holiday Inn. She was talking to a black guy, security guard specific, dressed in black pants, black top.

VAN SUSTEREN: So what percentage certain are you that he said family or father that was involved in this?

JOHN: He said family.

VAN SUSTEREN: So you're certain?

JOHN: I'm certain.

2. JUNE 12-13, 2005- JORAN SAYS THE KALPOES DROPPED HIM OFF AT HIS HOUSE AND DROVE OFF WITH NATALEE

FOX NEWS-
June 13, 2005

Fox News is now reporting that the three suspects' stories have changed now that they have been held in separate jail cells, according to the lawyer of one of the men. Joran Van Der Sloot is now saying that his two Surinamese friends dropped him off at his home after he exchanged email addresses with Holloway. He is saying the two Kalpoe brothers were the last to see Natalee. The two brothers, however, are now telling authorities that they left Van Der Sloot and Natalee at the beach on the northwest side of the island. "They know these boys have been lying," Mickey Jones' attorney Chris Lejuez told FOX News.

MONDAY JUNE 13:
HAISIBOKOS UPDATE 20:

TOP95 FM (Aruban radio station) reported on Monday that they have received information about the story that the suspect Joran van der Sloot gave to the police. The radio station got this information from the attorney that is representing the suspect Abraham Jones. Jones is being held at the same location as Joran and he has been hearing/getting information from within the institute. According to the attorney, Jones declared that Joran is convinced that he is being framed. Joran is saying that he did not go to the lighthouse with the group at all. He testified that after he left the club, he caught a ride home with his Surinamese friends, the brothers Kalpoe. At that time Natalee Holloway was in the car. Joran allegedly testified that the Kalpoes dropped him off at his home and drove off with Natalee in car. It was only afterwards (a few days later), around the swimming pool at his house, that the Kalpoes made plans to come out with one version of the events. But now it seems that they are trying to frame Joran. The attorney also told the radio station that his client has been hearing Joran van der Sloot sobbing a lot lately.

3. JUNE 12-13, 2005- JORAN SAYS THE KALPOES DROPPED HIM OFF AT THE BEACH AND HE WALKED HOME

Karl Penhaul - Cnn Correspondent
NANCY GRACE July 14, 2005

PENHAUL: Not necessarily, Nancy. What we do know, and these from statements that were in the dossier that one of the defense attorneys from the Kalpoe brothers had and shared some of that with us, was that Joran Van Der Sloot was dropped off at the beach near the Marriott, according to statements, around 1:50 in the morning. He then made a phone call to Deepak Kalpoe at about 2:30 or 2:40, so less than an hour later, saying, "I`m leaving Natalee at the beach, and I`m walking home."

4. JUNE 14, 2005- JORAN SAYS DEEPAK KALPOE PICKED HIM UP AT THE BEACH

BEACH DROP OFF
Joran Van der Sloot Suspect Statement
June 14, 2005

When Natalee and myself were dropped off at the Marriot Hotel by Satish and Deepak it was approximately 01.50 am. After we were dropped off Natalee and myself walked to the beach in front of the Marriot Hotel.

I had called Deepak, on May 30th 2005 at approximately 03.00 am, on his mobile phone. It was May 30th 2005. I had asked Deepak how he was doing. He had told me that he was "on-line" and that he was chatting to people. I had told Deepak that the girl wouldn't listen and that she was sleeping on the beach. I asked Deepak if he would come and pick me up. Deepak further told me that he would come immediately to come and pick me up. The conversation lasted about 2 to 3 minutes. I had walked back to Natalee. She was still sleeping. I laid down next to her. At about 03.30 am Deepak came to Fisherman's Huts to pick me up.

5. JUNE 28, 2005- JORAN SAYS SATISH KALPOE PICKED HIM UP AT THE BEACH

CNN NEWS Karl Penhaul - Cnn Correspondent:

"PENHAUL: Van der Sloot's attorneys, Antonio Carlo, declined to talk to us for this report, but Kock has seen van der Sloot's statements to investors and says he's changed his story several times since his arrest. Claiming first Deepak Kalpoe picked him up from the beach after he left Natalee. Then saying it was Satish Kalpoe. In another version of the story, Joran Van Der Sloot said he walked home.

THERE ARE OTHER RADICAL CHANGES IN JORAN'S STORY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT

1. Joran initially told police they all went to the lighthouse. Then he changed his story to just the opposite. The Kalpoe’s still say to this day they went to the lighthouse. Why the disagreement?

DIARIOARUBA NEWSPAPER
05/05/2006

All police reports show that something smells in Matter of the Lighthouse in the case of Natalee.

At first, Joran van der Sloot himself declared that they went to the lighthouse and that he, himself, told the Kalpoe brothers to go in the direction of the lighthouse while Joran ‘supposedly’ was sitting in the backseat of the car with Natalee.

During other interrogations which continued, Joran van der Sloot himself radically changed his declaration in what concerns the matter of the lighthouse and it could even be observed that the way that Joran got to hear that the Kalpoe brothers did indeed declare and were firm on the matter of going to the lighthouse, Joran became like an angry bear.

Today DIARIO has reproduced a part of the controversial declarations that Joran first made on the matter of the lighthouse, which he accuses the Kalpoe brothers of lying about going there and today, everyone can read how Joran was changing his version every time.

In one declaration alone, he contradicted himself even on the matter of going to Noordkant [northern tip] with Natalee.

At first, Joran declared that Natalee herself asked to go to the North side of the island to see sharks (a very ridiculous proposition in the darkness of night; neither day nor night can one see sharks on the Aruban shores).

Afterwards, later in the same interrogation, Joran tells police: “At no time did Natalee ask to go to the north side of Aruba!”

Joran himself declared that the (supposed) idea of going to the lighthouse came from him!

2. Joran also radically modified his story about Natalee Holloway's condition that evening. He told the police and Natalee's family the night they arrived at his residence that Natalee was drunk and had been doing drugs. He repeated this in other interviews as did his U.S. attorney Joe Tacopina... until they found out that Joran could be charged with rape for the vaginal penetration he described doing to Natalee in the backseat of the Kalpoe car that night.

In his more current statements to U.S. media he changed his comments to say that Natalee was in good condition and only mildly drunk, even though he early statements to police describe Natalee as "going in and out of consciousness." Could it have been that Natalee was given a drug by van der Sloot or a paid bartender at Carlos & Charlie's and was disabled by its effects after leaving the bar?

* WHY WOULD JORAN VAN DER SLOOT LIE SO MANY TIMES IF HE WERE INNOCENT IN THE DISAPPEARANCE OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY?

*WHY DO JORAN VAN DER SLOOT AND THE KALPOE BROTHERS DISAGREE SO RADICALLY ON THE EVENTS OF THAT NIGHT?

*WHY WOULD JORAN CHANGE HIS STORY ABOUT NATALEE'S CONDITION THAT NIGHT?

*WHY HAVEN'T THE DUTCH AUTHORITIES TAKEN JORAN VAN DER SLOOT TO TASK ON ALL OF THESE LIES?

*WHY DID PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT LIE ABOUT WHEN HE PICKED JORAN AND NATALEE UP AT 4:00 AM?

*WHY WERE JORAN, DEEPAK AND SATISH EVER RELEASED FROM CUSTODY WITHOUT CONDITIONS WHILE SO MANY DISTURBING DISCREPANCIES STILL EXIST?

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