CRIMES COMMITTED AGAINST NATALEE HOLLOWAY

May 30th, 2005 - The Cover Up Had Begun

The activities that were taking place on the Island of Aruba on May 30, 2005 involving Paulus, Joran, Deepak and Satish indicate that the cover up regarding crimes committed against Natalee Holloway were already in the implementation stages.


1. There are those who theorize that Joran van der Sloot was never at the beach with Natalee Holloway. Satish Kalpoe's attorney, Dave Kock, confirms that on the morning of May 30, 2005 cell phone records place Joran van der Sloot near the Marriot Hotel. Also, the gardener places Deepak and Joran across the street from the Marriot beach at 2:30 AM on the morning of May 30, 2005.

Dave Kock - On the Record w/ Greta - 08/26/05
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: All right. So your client, 2 o'clock to 3 o'clock, is on the Internet at home. I've been in his room. I've seen the computer, or at least where it was. And he gets phone calls at 2:40 and 3 a.m. from Joran. Where do the cell records place the phone that Joran is using at 2:40 and 3 o'clock in the morning?
DAVID KOCK, SATISH KALPOE'S ATTORNEY:: Well, there's not an exact pinpoint indication, but the general area is the area here in north in Palm Beach of the hotel.
VAN SUSTEREN: So it looks like he's not home at that hour, but someplace near the Marriott, is that right?
KOCK: That is correct. He is in this neighborhood.


Carlos Ramos (Gardener) - Court Testimony - 08/15/05
On questions of the judge-commissar, the witness explains as follows: I do not know Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe.

1. Can you remind yourself the declaration, which you have taken off 22 July 2005 on around 19.25 compared with the police force?
RAMOS: Yes
2. Have you then spoken the truth?
RAMOS: I have explained what I have seen.
3. The witness is asked to make a situation drawing (make production 1). The witness gives to where the car of suspect stood and the route he took.
4. Did you see the face of the driver when you went past?
RAMOS: Yes.
5. Did you recognize him with a photograph confrontation?
RAMOS: Yes, on the day that I gave a declaration at the police force they left me a photograph see from an illustrated magazine. That is the only photograph that they showed me.
6. Did you recognize the faces of the other persons in the car?
RAMOS: Yes, the face of the person who sat beside the driver. When I came past I saw, in the light of my car, that the person beside the driver had his head and face covered with his hands. I have recognized that person from his illustration (photo). You ask me how I recognized the driver who sat beside the man who screened its face? I have seen him in the light of my "in the light of" (van). He moved himself a bit to the back.
7. You have also recognized Deepak Kalpoe?
RAMOS: yes, on the same photograph which the police force showed me.

Beth Twitty - CNN LARRY KING LIVE - 02/23/06
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: ... Deepak panicked. He panicked when the gardener gave that testimony. That very afternoon, he called an Aruban girl to help him establish an alibi. She, in turn, panicked. She called FBI. She dialed the 1-877-NATALEE number and told them that she did not want to be involved in this.

2. On the morning of May 30, 2005 was Paulus Van der Sloot summoned to the Marriot Beach area after Natalee Holloway died in the course of wrongdoings which involved his son? Did Paulus van der Sloot, with the assistance of others, move Natalee's body on the morning of May 30, 2005 to an undisclosed location? Was some thus far unknown “white vehicle” involved?

Jossy Mansur - NANCY GRACE - 07/29/05
MANSUR: there`s another witness that, before that, told someone that works at the hotels that he saw a white pick-up over there by the Holiday Inn, in which three persons were also in, all of them male, carrying what looked like the body of a girl, putting it in the back of the white pick-up and driving away with it.

David Mattingly: Cnn Correspondent - PAULA ZAHN NOW - 07/05/05
MATTINGLY: Defense attorneys for the Kalpoe brothers tonight confirmed to CNN that testimony from fishermen telling investigators that they didn't see a couple matching the description of Natalee Holloway and Joran van der Sloot on that beach the night that Natalee turned up missing. What they are saying is that they saw a white Suzuki on that beach …

Karl Penhaul: CNN Correspondent - NANCY GRACE - 07/14/05
PENHAUL: What the fishermen do, interestingly, say, though, is that sometime in the timeframe when they were there, they`re assuming sometime around 3:00 AM, that they saw a Jeep-type vehicle pull up near the beach. That was the only vehicle that they saw close to the beach, a Jeep-type vehicle.

T.J. Ward: Private Investigation - 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - 11/14/05
WARD: We think he has played a role in the cover up of her disappearance.
COSBY: How strong do you also still believe that the three boys played a role too from everything that you are getting?
WARD: We believe the boys are directly involved. And again, our theory is that something happened to Natalee, either where she stopped breathing, had a heart attack or whatever. And in the course of that happening, we think Paul Van der Sloot played a part in the after effect of that in the removal and concealing of Natalee Holloway.

Art Wood: Private Investigation - Sun Herald - 03/17/07
Wood told the more than 50 people who attended the Merrill Lynch-sponsored presentation about his experience in Aruba, where he believed three young men -- Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe -- attempted to rape Holloway. In the process, he believed they accidentally killed her, then sought the advice of van der Sloot's prominent father to dispose of the body in the open ocean. Wood believed van der Sloot's father also used his connections to control the investigation. The case remains unsolved.

Gerold Dompig - 48 HOURS MYSTERY - 03/22/06
Dompig says he believes Paulus Van der Sloot does know more than he has been telling about the circumstances surrounding Holloway's disappearance.

Gerold Dompig - 48 HOURS MYSTERY - 03/22/06
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.

Riehl World View - Thursday, June 16, 2005 at 04:53 AM
On Natalee's Yahoo forum there is a report that a helicopter is searching Santa Lucia area because according to the cell phone records of one of the three suspects there was a call in the Santa Lucia area at 6:30 am the morning Natalee was to have met up with the group to leave for airport.

3. Jossy Mansur conveys to Greta that the caretaker of the Fishermen's Huts located on the Marriott Beach reported that there was a break in on the morning that Natalee Holloway went missing. The items stolen were very significant when the disposal of a body is considered. Tim Miller claims that Gerold Dompig told him he believes that Natalee Holloway could have been put in the stolen fish trap and taken out to sea.

Jossy Mansur - On the Record w/ Greta - October 21, 2005
VAN SUSTEREN: Now, how big is this cage?
MANSUR: It is a big cage, it is a fish trap made with chicken coop wire. You know the ones that have the round holes in them? That’s pretty big.
VAN SUSTEREN: Could you put a body in it? Could you put someone 5’4” or 5’6” in it? MANSUR: Jossy: Yes, you can.
VAN SUSTEREN: Was this reported…she disappeared on the 30th. When was this first reported missing?
MANSUR: It was reported to the police that same morning by the caretaker. The man who looks after the fishermen’s huts.
VAN SUSTEREN: So, it wasn’t because he had heard there was a missing person? It was just coincidentally I have a missing cage and reported it?
Jossy: That is correct. He just told them there were a knife missing and a big fish trap missing.

Tim Miller/Gerold Dompig - KPRC Local 2 - 01/11/06
On Friday, EquuSearch founder Tim Miller and a deepwater search team from Florida will travel back to Aruba to search an area three to five miles off the island's coast that is between 800 to 1,000 feet deep, Miller told KPRC Local 2 that Aruba’s police commissioner told him that he feels Holloway might be inside a fish trap dropped deep into the water.

4. In Deepak Kalpoe's suspect statement of June 29, 2005 he concedes that he was creating internet chatter with a friend, John Charles Croes, on the morning of May 30, 2005 to obstruct the investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. How did Deepak know that there was going to be an investigation? Natalee Holloway had yet to be reported missing.

Deepak Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/11/05
To your question as to how late we got home, I can say the following. We arrived home approximately 02.20 hours. When we got home Satish immediately went to bed. I had switched on the television. I had also turned on the computer in my room. I went and chatted with a friend of mine on “MSN”. His name is John Charles Croes. I had told the afore mentioned CROES during the chat that we had gone out and that I was waiting for a friend of mine because I had dropped him off on the street together with a girl. After having chatted with John I went into the living room and watched TV.

Deepak Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/29/05
You are telling me that John Charles CROES has stated that I wrote while I was chatting with him that I had written that the girl had put her hands in/down my pants, I can say the following. I did this to frustrate/mess up the investigation. The purpose of the chat traffic was to help the police and the Office of the DA with regard to the investigation so that they could see that I was indeed home in the night from Sunday to Monday.

5. After claiming in his witness statement of June 18, 2005 that he had slept "solidly" through the night of May 30, 2005, Paulus van der Sloot concedes that he may have used his phone.

Paulus van der Sloot - Witness Statement - 06/18/05
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. On May 30th in the hours of the morning, I did not notice anything different/out of the ordinary with Joran.

Greta Van Susteren - On the Record /w Greta - 07/03/05
VAN SUSTEREN: 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.

6. In Rita Cosby and Nancy Grace interviews Beth Twitty claims that Paulus van der Sloot stated on the morning of May 31, 2005 that he had picked up Joran/them (?) at McDonalds at 4:00 AM on the morning of May 30, 2005. Paulus adamantly refutes Beth's words. However, Karin Janssen's official position within the investigation would indicate that she was deriving from a foundational knowledge when she stated that investigators suspected Paulus of being involved in Natalee's disappearance. Then in January 2007, the Superior Court ruled against compensation for Paulus van der Sloot in a wrongful detention lawsuit. The ruling stated that Paulus' detention was justified as his own declaration stated that he had picked up Joran and Natalee at McDonalds on the morning of May 30, 2005.

Beth Twitty - 'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' - 03/21/06
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 - NANCY GRACE - 08/12/05
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: 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.

Karin Janssen - USA TODAY - 06/30/05
“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,” Janssen said. 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.

Superior Court - January, 2007
" ... The tapped information and his declaration that he picked up Joran and Natalee by the McDonalds Palm Beach and brought them to the Holiday Inn, are clearly understood by the Dept. of Justice, and could in the judgment of this Superior Court, be considered as an indication of the involvement of Paulus in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway."

7. Is there a Steve Croes and Geoffrey Van Comvoirt connection in regards to the assistance that Paulus Van der Sloot may have received if he was instrumental in moving the body Natalee Holloway from the Marriot Beach area on the morning of May 30, 2005?
Steve Croes involved himself in the Natalee Holloway case by providing a false alibi for Joran, Deepak and Satish. Geoffrey Van Comvoirt's association with the Visibility Police/Beach Patrol would afford him access to a "white pickup".
Also, Steve Croes and Geoffrey Van Comvoirt representation by the same attorney was sanctioned by Karin Janssen while she considered a similar situation a conflict of interest in regards to the security guards.

Beth Twitty - On the Record w/ Greta - 04/18/2006
TWITTY: .... And when I think of Joran van der Sloot and when I think of Steven Croes and I think of this new suspect (GVC) and the lies that were coming out early, very early, the moment we arrived on the island, if we find out that these three suspects are acquaintances or know each other — somebody needs to connect the dots. I mean, there certainly is a reason why Steven Croes came forward early on and stated, lied to the authorities that he had seen the two security guards taking Natalee. You know, people don't just do that for no reason, Greta. Somebody needs to connect the dots on those three, if they know each other.

Beth Twitty - NBC13 - 04/19/06
Natalee's mother, Beth Twitty, said she is hearing another story. " ... I'm hearing he (GVC) is also an acquaintance of Stephen Croes," Twitty said. Croes is a party boat disc jockey who was arrested early on in Natalee's case. He backed up van der Sloot's first story about dropping Natalee off at a Holiday Inn. "I have a feeling all of these suspects are tied together in some way," Twitty said.

John Kelly - On the Record w/ Greta - 04/19/05
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.
KELLY: I think that's right ......

Chris Lejez - ASSOCIATED PRESS - 06/11/05
Lejuez dropped John as a client per a request from the prosecutor, who said it's not ethical for him to represent both clients.

Chris Lejuez - NANCY GRACE - 06/07/05
LEJUEZ: I have been the defense attorney for both of them for the last two days. But as of tomorrow, I will be only for one of them, because apparently there will be a conflict of interest in defending them both. This has been told to me by the public prosecutor, so I will be resigning from one of the cases.

8. In Freddy's June 12, 2005 witness statement he reveals that Joran conveyed the Holiday Inn fabrication to him on the afternoon of May 30, 2005. This communication would imply that Joran was well aware that something had happened to Natalee Holloway, and this was hours before her family arrived to begin looking for her.

Freddy Zedan - Witness Statement - 06/12/05
Monday afternoon on the 30th, Joran came to my house. He told me that the previous day, Sunday, he had befriended a girl in the Holiday Inn casino and that she had invited him to come to Carlos and Charlies that evening.

After that they drove to the hotel. When the girl had pushed open the door of the car, she fell to the ground. Joran wanted to help her but she shoved him away. (....) The next day, Tuesday May 31st 2005 in the afternoon, I was with Joran at the raquetclub.
Joran's Book - Translation Credit: Rammstein

9. One of the security guards, Mickey John, claims in the Greta interview of June 29, 2005 that while detained Deepak told him that Paulus was involved in the collaboration of the Holiday Inn fabrication. This would imply that the collaboration must have taken place on May 30, 2005.

Mickey John - On the Record /w Greta - 06/29/05
JOHN: He (Deepak) 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.

10. Jan van der Straten concedes to Nancy Grace on June 2, 2005 that Natalee Holloway had been reported missing on the morning of May 30, 2005. It could be assumed that the report would have included descriptions of Joran, Deepak and Satish as well as Deepak's vehicle.

Jan Van Stratten - NANCY GRACE - 06/02/05
GRACE: Commissioner Jan Van Derstraten is with us from Aruba. Commissioner, when exactly was she reported missing?
VANDERSTRATEN: She was reported missing on Monday morning.

11. The implication of the prosecutor's words to Dan Abrams is that on May 30, 2005 Paulus van der Sloot was already giving Joran, Deepak and Satish legal advice.

Karin Janssen - ‘The Abrams Report’ - June 30, 2005
JANSSEN: The father has spoken with those three suspects, and he said he give them some legal advice, but I think the advices were 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.

12. Prior to Jug and Beth Twitty's arrival on the Island of Aruba, certain happenings of May 30, 2005 would imply that someone within Aruban Law Enforcement was assisting Joran, Deepak and Satish in getting their stories straight regarding their encounter with Natalee Holloway.

JORAN VAN DER SLOOT
On July 12, 2005 Anita Van der Sloot stated in a Joe Scarborough interview that Joran was picked up from school by police on Monday, May 30, 2005. Joran has never implied in interviews or declarations that he was ever picked up by police for questioning.

Anita Van der Sloot - 'Scarborough Country' - 07/12/05
ANITA VAN DER SLOOT: He hasn't told me anything, because, on the Monday, he went to school, like any normal boy. And he wasn't aware of—he was totally surprised when the police asked him to come to the—or picked him up for interrogation. He was totally surprised. He really thought that the girl would be safe in the hotel and there was no reason to talk about her at all.”

DEEPAK KALPOE
Deepak Kalpoe claims in his official statement of June 10, 2005 that he vacuumed his vehicle prior to picking up Joran Van der Sloot on Sunday May 29, 2005. He also states that he remembers telling interrogators at Bubali on May 31, 2005 that his vehicle was very clean because he had vacuumed his car the prior evening. This would imply Deepak was questioned by police at Bubali station on May 30, 2005.

Deepak Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/09/05
He then asked me whether I wanted to go with to "Carlos & Charlies", because he had met a few girls and wanted to meet them again in "Carlos & Charlies". I agreed and told him that I would pick him up later. A little before 23.00 hours I drove home. I ate something at home together with my brother Satish and after that I vacuumed the carpet on the inside of my car. After I finished vacuuming I went and took a shower. A little before 0.00 hours I drove to Joran's house. Joran lives on the address Montanja 19.

Deepak Kalpoe - Suspect Statement - 06/10/05
To your question whether I can remember the day when I was summoned to the police station at Bubali, I can say the following. Yes I remember that day. You are telling to me that my car looked very clean on that day. About that I can state the following, I had vacuumed my car the previous day.

SATISH KALPOE
On June 29, 2005 in a secretly recorded conversation in a police van, Satish Kalpoe conveys to Joran that he told police about the choller in his first police statement. Satish's witness statement of May 31, 2005 has been revealed and there is no mention of the choller. It can be assumed that the first statement Satish is referring to must have been taken on May 30, 2005.

Satish Kalpoe - Leaked Police Vehicle Recording - 06/29/05
Joran: (to Deepak) Then you're going to tell shit about the choller. I have helped you with that that shit of the choller friend.
Deepak: And, I also said that.
Joran: That I have not read. I have also read that statement.
Satish: That of the chollers was from me. I have already told that before. I have also said that in my first statement.

13. Paul Reynolds implied that Paulus was implicated in Joran, Deepak and Satish's original statements. Considering that Deepak and Satish's May 31, 2005 witness statements do not implicate Paulus, it can be assumed that Natalee's uncle is referring to not yet revealed statements taken on May 30, 2005.

Paul Reynolds - 'Scarborough Country' - 08/26/05
REYNOLDS: Well, we certainly think they know more, but we think all three are involved. We think Joran and Deepak and Satish are all involved. And, you know, we still think the father was at least involved in the cover-up. And that‘s based on the statements that the boys gave in the beginning.

14. Joran claims in his suspect statement of June 14, 2005 that he played tennis on the evening of May 30, 2005. However, upon investigation, Art Wood discovered the contrary. Joran concedes in his book that he never did play tennis that day. Was the tennis game meant to be a cover regarding the real reason Joran was at the Racquet Ball club? Was there an arranged meeting with friends to discuss an American citizen named Natalee Holloway? Was there activity involving a boat?

Joran van der Sloot - Suspect Statement - 06/14/05
On Monday, May 30th 2005, I did not talk to anyone at school about having left behind Natalee. At approximately 17.00 pm, I was dropped off by my father at the Raquet Club. Between the hours of 17.00 pm and 18.00 pm I was in the gym. I was talking there with "Koen" nickname "Cul". We spoke that it was cowardly/weak and that no one was there. My tennis lesson was between the hours of 18.00 pm and 19.00 pm. According to me I was not called by anyone during that time. I had also made no calls myself. Approximately 19.00 pm, I was ready with playing tennis. I showered in the clubhouse

Art Wood - NATIONAL ENQUIRER - 01/06/06
The dramatic new line of investigation revolves around the timeline of May 30, starting about 18 hours after Natalee vanished. There are several unexplained missing hours during which authorities believe that her body was dumped at sea. Former U.S. Secret Service agent Art Wood, who spent months on the island investigating the case, told The National Enquirer: "Joran told police that he played tennis with a friend during the evening hours. And the pal backed up his alibi. But when I investigated the Racquet Club I found that Joran had never played tennis there that night."

Joran van der Sloot - Joran's Book PAGE 98
Paul drops Joran off at the RC at 6:15, but none of his friends are there so he doesn't feel like playing tennis. He gives his trainer an excuse and goes to the gym where he meets Koen. They talk a while and then they ask Andre, David, and Joran's tennis buddy "Marco" (Guido) if they want to play poker at the Wyndham. Marco says he has to work until 10:00 in the HI casino. Andre says his dad will join them in the game. Joran calls Paul and asks permission, saying Marco will bring him home after, Paul says OK. Joran takes off his tennis shoes and puts on flip flops. He walks from the RC past the Salinja to the beach, then via the beach he reaches the Wyndham at 6:45 (Note: book doesn't mention looking for his shoes).

Rick Segall/Dave Holloway - America's Most Wanted (AMW) - 04/11/06
Police have told Dave that the night after Natalee's disappearance, a boat was launched from an input just down the beach from the Holiday Inn where Natalee stayed.

15. Joran states in his June 14, 2005 suspect statement that on the evening of May 30, 2005, he did not walk past the Fisherman's Hut on his way to the Wyndham to check if Natalee was "still lying there". Why would Joran entertain the thought that Natalee may be "still lying there" eighteen hours after he left her? The implication is that Joran knew full well that Natalee was deceased.

Joran Van der Sloot - Suspect Statement - June 14, 2005
At approximately 19.15 pm I left on foot for the Wyndham Hotel. I was alone. My tennis gear I had left behind the bar at the Raquet club. I had also removed my tennis shoes and left them in the bag behind. I had taken from my tennis bag a pair of slippers and walked away on those. From the clubhouse I walked in the direction of Salinja to the Marriot Hotel. I walked along the same route that Deepak had taken to drop off me and Natalee. At the beach of the Marriot I tried for a little while to find my shoes. They were nowhere to be found. I looked for about two minutes. Then I walked over the beach to the Wyndham Hotel. On the way there I saw a lot of people. I did not go to Fisherman's Hut to see if Natalee was still lying there.

16. Following Jug and Beth Twitty's arrival on the Island on the evening of May 30, 2005, Charles Croes of Aruba Phones was contacted at 11:30 PM by a "major friend" who required assistance pertaining to cell phone information that related to a missing Natalee Holloway. On June 30, 2005 Charles Croes conveyed to Greta that following a 1:30 AM meeting with the Twittys he drove to the cabana area near the Holiday Inn to check whether Natalee was there. Byran Burrough states in the Vanity Fair article that Charles Croes claims he drove to the California lighthouse. Why would it cross Charles Croes mind that Natalee Holloway could possibly have connections to either of these areas – and why would Mr Croes change the location? Could it be that Charles Croes was conversing with Paulus and Joran at the VDS residence following the initial contact with a "major friend" and prior to the late night meeting with the Twittys?

Charles Croes - On the Record w/Greta - 06/30/05
C. CROES: After that, we spoke a while. And then we left that location with the intention of going to the Holiday Inn to continue meeting. On the way there, a young man and I were sitting in my car. And on the way there, instinctively, I wanted to go to drive off, pull over to the cabana area, just to look to see if perhaps she was there.

Bryan Burrough - Vanity Fair: Nightmare in Paradise - 01/02/06
Croes, meanwhile, drove north up the beach road and, just below the lighthouse, found a group of teenagers drinking cheap wine.

Charles Croes - One Happy Island: Visit Aruba - 06/02/05
There are issues in this case that can go beyond the obvious in their implications. It will take time for all the information regarding this lovely child to come out.

Some of it will be hard to handle and some of it will be expected.

With regards to the family of this missing child, my prayers are with you. I was with them on the first night they arrived to ARuba (looking for their daughter) from midnight until 5:30 AM and have kept in touch.
In my opinion, this issue has far reaching implications for all those involved. I wish all of us strength
charles arubafastphones.com

These facts beg the question of why Aruban authorities have yet to prosecute these four criminals in this case?

How can four suspects in a kidnapping, rape, and murder investigation go unchallenged when it is apparent they all knew something had happened to Ms Holloway, and were taking steps to hide that fact before they could have logically known she was missing?

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