Woman of the Year or Disgrace to her Profession?
When one looks over the pattern of her involvement in the Natalee Holloway case, we have to ask did Karin Janssen do a "friend a favor" or purposely buy time for the suspects to rehearse their lies, erase all evidence, change statements, allow some statements to become missing and therefore was she directly involved in a cover-up?
We remember it was Karin Janssen that asked the most unfathomable questions of Beth:
If she was related to Hitler
About life insurance policies
All the while maintaining a position of non-disclosure to the family that were so desperate to know what happened to the victim in this case, their daughter Natalee.
What did Karin Janssen know before she had the security guards arrested?
Early on, Karin Janssen knew that not only was Natalee never returned to her hotel, and that given this fact, the "black security guard" described by Joran, Deepak and Satish could not possibly have existed, since surveillance and hotel employee witnesses all indicated that no sign of Natalee was ever recorded, nor any of the other descriptions fabricated by the Kalpoes and Joran.
Beth Twitty - MSNBC
TWITTY: ….. within 72 hours, we knew that their first story was totally fabricated, that within the first 72 hours, I faced a room of 12 -- at least 12 detectives, Aruban and Dutch detectives, and a lead detective, Dennis Jacobs (ph), and they knew after we reviewed video footage from the Holiday Inn casino lobby that my daughter had never been brought back to the Holiday Inn. They knew that those suspects were fabricating a story from day one. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11590518/
FOX NEWS
Holiday Inn employees say security cameras did not record Holloway's return. A Holiday Inn guard who worked the overnight shift that day said he did not see her, said Pietersz, who said she reviewed the guard's statement to police. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159252,00.html
ALE OFFICER
This officer in the same fox article sent earlier, states that the investigation shows Natalee NEVER returned (surveillance)
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,158666,00.html
Karin Janssen knew that neither John nor Jones were working as security guards during the time frame that Joran, Deepak and Satish claimed to have dropped Natalee off at the Holiday Inn hotel. She also knew that the descriptions given by Joran, Deepak and Satish of clothing they claimed the "dark skinned" guard wore was not anything remotely close to what Holiday Inn security guards wore. Yet, Karin Janssen ignored these discrepancies and had the security guards arrested claiming she had evidence.
NANCY GRACE
June 9, 2005 (1 Guard in 2 boys statement)
PIETERSZ: And, the two guys now suspect, that they said they saw a security guard walking up to Natalee according to the statement of the two witnesses around, I assume, 2 o`clock. And that never could be my client because he wasn`t even working. So he was not wearing a uniform.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0506/09/ng.01.html
It can be concluded that given all the information Karin Janssen had available to her, the notion that there was good "cause for suspicion" was knowingly false, and the fact that the guards were still pursued, in light of ALE and prosecutors knowing that no drop off ever occurred, suggests collusion between the ALE and Karin Janssen for the sole purpose of denying Natalee's family the truth of what had been inflicted upon their child, and covering up for the real perpetrators: Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe, Satish Kalpoe and Paulus van der Sloot.
* EVIDENCE ON GUARDS WAS FALSE - THEY HAD ALIBI'S
* GUARDS ONLY QUESTIONED ONE TIME BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AFTER THEIR DETAINMENT
* CLOTHING WORN BY GUARDS DID NOT MATCH THE WITNESS STATEMENTS
* THE SURVEILLANCE TAPES NEVER SHOWED NATALEE NOR THE GUARDS AT THE HOLIDAY INN THAT NIGHT
* DEEPAK STATED HE COULD "IDENTIFY THE GUARD IF SHOWN TO HIM" BUT NO LINE UP WAS DONE OR FACE TO FACE MEETING FOR IDENTIFICATION
* PRESS RELEASES THAT THE "GUARDS ARE NOT COOPERATING" WERE GEARED TO PRESENT NEGATIVE PERCEPTIONS OF THE TWO GUARDS TO THE PUBLIC TO DISCREDIT THEM INSTEAD OF WHERE IT BELONGED: ON JORAN VAN DER SLOOT, PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT, DEEPAK KALPOE AND SATISH KALPOE
* SECURITY GUARDS WERE USED AS STALL TACTICS FOR THE COVER-UP OF THE CRIMES AGAINST NATALEE HOLLOWAY - TO HELP PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT SANITIZE EVIDENCE
* STEVE CROES ENTERS THE SCENE TO FURTHER THE SECURITY GUARD LIE WITH NOW IMPLICATING TWO SECURITY GUARDS NOT ONE AS WAS STATED BY JORAN AND DEEPAK ORIGINALLY
* MICKEY JOHNS SPOKE TO DEEPAK WHO TOLD HIM ABOUT PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT'S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE CREATION OF THE HOLIDAY INN LIES AROUND THE POOL AT THEIR HOME. HE KNEW THAT THEY ALL CONSPIRED TO LIE, AUTHORITIES PLAYED ALONG, AND HE WAS SET UP
Prior to their arrest, Karin Janssen did not investigate John and Jones, she knew the three last seen taking Natalee had lied, and yet went forward with their arrest. After which she took yet another curious step by requesting that the attorney representing both the Security Guards, Chris Lejuez, drop Mickey Johns as a client.
CHRIS LEJUEZ
Lejuez dropped John as a client per a request from the prosecutor, who said “it's not ethical for him to represent both clients."
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159006,00.html
VIDEO WITH CHRIS LEJUEZ SPEAKS ABOUT HIS CLIENT and why he was asked by Prosecutor to drop one of the Security Guards http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,159252,00.html
Two large double standards from this turn of events by Karin Janssen were Paulus van der Sloot being allowed to represent his son and the Kalpoe brothers, and both suspects Steve Croes and Geoffry van Cromvoirt were represented by the same attorney as well – neither scenario warranted the objection by Janssen that the security guards’ legal representation did.
“The father of one of the men is a local attorney on the island and is representing all three of them.”
http://www.nbc13.com/news/4567607/detail.html
JOHN Q KELLY
VAN SUSTEREN: John, what I heard a little bit earlier today from someone I spoke to in Aruba is that the lawyer for "G.V.C." is also the lawyer — it's a woman — who represented Steve Croes, who is the man who came forward with the false alibi to the police which supported lie number one of Deepak, Satish and Joran. Do you know anything about the lawyer representing both Steve Croes and now "G.V.C."?
KELLY: I know that's the situation. It's a woman, and that is the person who represented Croes and would be representing this individual now. And actually, Ms. Janssen, when I talked to her today, she was just getting ready to turn over the dossier to "G.V.C.'s" attorney for review before they did go into court.
VAN SUSTEREN: Then it's bizarre that this lawyer would represent both Steve Croes and GVC because at least here in the United States, I think most lawyers would say that there is a potential for conflict of interest and a lawyer shouldn't be representing both. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,192309,00.html
Why did Karin Janssen withhold Joran van der Sloot’s statement from the security guards’ attorney claiming it to be irrelevant to his clients, while turning over the Kalpoe brother’s statements when reportedly Joran’s statement contained the same lie?
CHRIS LEJUEZ
CHRIS LEJUEZ, ATTORNEY FOR ABRAHAM JONES: Nancy, I have seen only the statements of two of the three men. The evidence that I got, the documentation, the files that I received from the prosecutor’s office contained only two of the statements. My colleague has asked the prosecutor why only the two, not the one of the Dutch boy? She was told by the prosecutor, at least by the prosecutor’s office, that that statement would not be relevant to the case of her suspect, her client.
LEJUEZ: Well, both the statement that I’ve read from two of this young boys state very clearly that they dropped her off at the hotel at approximately 2 o’clock in the morning. She got out of the car. She was under the influence of alcohol. And then they saw her walk through the front door of the hotel inside the lobby. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0506/09/ng.01.html
Why was a known drug dealer – Xavier “Boeti” Naar, brother in law to the lead investigator Dompig and cousin to the Kalpoe brothers – brought in to help implicate the falsely arrested security guards?
BETH TWITTY
TWITTY: ….. First of all, it started out with Dennis Jacobs (ph), the lead narcotics agent on the island of Aruba, who was working with Boody to get him to implicate the two security guards. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10348437/
WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE THAT KARIN JANSSEN PROVIDED IN THE CLOSED HEARINGS WITH THE JUDGES?
In order for Joran and the Kalpoe brothers to continue to be detained, Janssen had to present evidence to the judge for each hearing to determine continued detainment.
*Surveillance tapes of the Holiday Inn and Excelsior Casino
*Signed statements from suspects
*Joran and Deepak's computers, cell phone records, msn messages

SEARCH WARRANTS
How was Karin Janssen able to complete the paperwork correctly for the search of the security guards’ residences, but not for the van der Sloot’s home?
FOX NEWS
Aruban police in unmarked cars accompanied by FBI agents made a pre-dawn raid at 5 a.m. Sunday, rousting two suspects aged 28 and 30 from their beds. An AP photographer watched as the rumpled men — one from the De Vuiyst housing project for poorer islanders and another from an average home in southeast San Nicolas — emerged without resistance, hands cuffed behind their backs. Police searched the homes and emerged with what looked like a metal safe deposit box and a garbage bag of clothing.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,158666,00.html
GEROLD DOMPIG
October 19, 2005 Dompig: That is correct. The fact is that we as a law enforcement agency always try to get the maximum. Meaning that we want to search as much places as possible. We were not granted by the judge a search warrant for the complete house, we only received the warrant for the apartment.
Reporter: But what about after Paul Van der Sloot was arrested, couldn’t you get a warrant to search the house then?
Dompig: It was also denied, we were a bit disappointed with that. The judge was coming from another island I must point out. He said we didn’t make a good enough case to get a warrant.
DNA TESTING
How was Karin Janssen able to complete the paperwork correctly for the search of the security guards’ residences but did not follow proper procedures for DNA testing of the Kalpoe brothers and Joran van der Sloot?
SUSAN CANDIOTTI
CANDIOTTI: Well, I have learned from -- we have learned from two sources that, in fact -- and law enforcement source confirmed to me that a toothbrush that was in her hotel room was found to have male DNA evidence on it. http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0507/28/ng.01.html

REPORTER
In the case of van der Sloot's friend, the court said there isn't enough evidence to warrant using the tests."

FOX NEWS
A procedural mistake in taking the DNA samples may delay the case.
WHY DIDN'T KARIN JANSSEN GO BACK TO COURT IMMEDIATELY TO CLEAR UP ANY ERRORS IN HER FILINGS FOR THESE IMPORTANT PROCEDURES?
SEARCHES
WHY WAS A BIG SEARCH CONDUCTED ON JUNE 6TH? THEY HAD ALREADY ARRESTED THE SECURITY GUARDS WHOM THEY HAD "EVIDENCE" AGAINST?
Why was this search conducted away from the area the victim, Natalee Holloway was last seen?
CBS NEWS
The initial search idea called for an island wide effort, but later changed to focus on the southeastern area of Seroe Colorado and part of San Nicolas, police commander Judy Hassell said. San Nicolas is where the two charged men were arrested. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/06/06/national/main699807.shtml
STATEMENTS MISSING, CHANGED, DELAYED
1. SUSPECT- CONFESSION MISSING
PAUL REYNOLDS
we saw the reports that confessions had been made, that something bad had happened. Shortly thereafter, it was retracted. The next morning, there was a report that said Natalee was confirmed dead. And these reports came from the deputy commissioner. They came from the spokesperson from the Ministry of Justice. And then, all of a sudden, these statements and these confessions just disappeared.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8551822
2. BETH TWITTY - STATEMENT CHANGED
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: We found out about three weeks later that that statement that I signed on June 10 is not my statement. We were given that statement by an Aruban attorney sometime during the month of July and finally had it translated, and it is not my original statement.
GRACE: What was left out, Beth?
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: There were a lot of names that were left out, you know, just key elements as far as how Joran asked Jug and -- to leave the group before he admitted the sexual assaults that he committed against Natalee and -- and just a lot of things. You know, Paulus`s name -- I didn`t know anyone`s name. I didn`t know Charles Croes`s name, which is just ludicrous.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0510/04/ng.01.html
3. JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - STATEMENT MISSING
TWITTY: Well, Rita, like I said, we‘ve been worried as early as June 1 when we saw torn statements at a police station. We‘ve had falsified documents. I mean, we‘ve seen key elements omitted from uniformed police officers‘ statements. We‘ve had a D.E.A. whose statement was never taken.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9354188/
4. JORAN VAN DER SLOOT - STATEMENT CHANGED
Paulus van der Sloot police statement
We then departed for the police station in Bubali where we arrived at approximately 11.00 hours. Jacobs and Kelly took down Joran's statement. Joran was speaking in Papiamentu and that was translated by the officers into Dutch. I was there when Joran made his statement. We made a few changes in the concept with regard to factualities instead of observations. At approximately 14.00 hours Joran signed his statement ...
5. ALABAMA WITNESSES - STATEMENTS DELAYED
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Well that‘s kind of what I‘m leading up to. I‘m leading up to the reason why that could be. And number four would, you know, when you think of the DEA witness, Eric Williams, was not given—was not—did not give a statement regarding the incident that occurred May 31 where Joran is again, admitting these sexual assaults committed against Natalee. And number five, you remember there were many witnesses there that night that were never asked to give a statement until 20 to 30 days later. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9679791/
JUG TWITTY: I think, Joe, they need to go back to the beginning and question the people that were with me that night. We have already got conflicting stories now. People have changed their statements from the very first night. Those people that were with me that night, had they taken our statements at least a week after it happened, we would have already had the answer. But when they take my statement 33 days later, and they take the other guys‘ statements that were with me and ladies that were with me, you know, like 19 days later, it‘s like they didn‘t want to find the truth.

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

HARRIS FAULKNER - A CURRENT AFFAIR
the FBI was never given a single document, audio or visual, in this case. And now we`ve confirmed that there was a Dutch official who flew from Holland all the way to Quantico to share information, but didn`t leave a single thing in the hands of the FBI. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0509/28/ng.01.html
With the USA and London Bombings dominating the news at one point, Aruba’s investigation began charging the news organizations networks as much as $1,500-a-day for freelance cameramen, $300 to $400 for hotel rooms for producers and crew, as well as $3,000 for satellite feeds.
BETH TWITTY
Beth stated that the communications people in Aruba have raised the fee for satellite hookup from $800 to $4000 in order to broadcast live interviews
http://.scaredmonkeys.com/?p=1586
In further attempts to obstruct the truth of the crimes against Natalee Holloway, they threatened to jail Art Woods for not having a permit, created lies about TES disturbing turtle eggs, and statements from Dompig surfaced with unfounded ideas that Natalee died of an overdose.
Dompig then came to the Unites States to question the Mountain Brook teens with a questionnaire prepared by Janssen, and continued his attempts to slander Natalee and her family by undermining her credibility and her innocence with defamatory statements directed at Beth and Dave about insurance scam lies, and insinuating that funds they received to help them find their daughter were mishandled.
These were diversionary tactics utilized by the Aruban Justice Department along with Janssen's statement that "you can't barge in their like cowboys" which was meant to demean American standards while her actions and methodologies were corrupt attempts to protect the suspects by zeroing in on the innocent Security Guards who for 10 days were not in any line-up, only questioned one time, and their alibis ignored.
Karin Janssen and the other Aruban officials continue, even today, along with the bloggers on-line, in planting lies and disrupting forward progress in this case.
The fact that Prosecutor Karin Janssen and polis detectives Dennis Jacobs and Jan van der Straten, all in charge of the investigation, were not pursuing the facts, or the surveillance tapes that demonstrated Natalee never return to the hotel; while ignoring all the contradictions of the statements by Joran and Kalpoe brothers paints a very clear picture indeed. It would seem impossible for any competent professional to come up with the strategical course that Karin Janssen utilized and not realize she was involved in a collusion to cover up these crimes.
Common sense dictates that her swiftness to arrest the Security Guards based on known lies made by the criminals in this case, not obtaining a search warrant for the property of the van der Sloots and surrounding area, not following procedures for testing of DNA which caused that evidence to be rejected by a judge - all supports the cover-up that the world has watched unfold.
Karin Janssen has been a Prosecutor for 12 years and the Chief Prosecutor in Aruba for a year and one half, http://tinyurl.com/ysnnlm ,and she made the choices and procedural errors based upon her experience. Common sense says she knew exactly what she was doing to help cover-up a crime in Aruba.
