Crimes Committed Against Natalee Holloway ~ Part 4
What was going on between 7:00 pm and 8:30 pm?
We believe this is when Paulus and Joran took Miss Holloway's remains out to sea on the Gottenbos boat. Here Joran sets himself up to be highly visible that night after 8:00 pm .
Part 3 detailed the most likely movements of Paulus van der Sloot during this time, and here now are Joran's activities for this timeframe.
JORAN SAYS TENNIS LESSON ENDED AT 7:00, HE SHOWERED AND THEN CALLED ANDRE ANDRE AGREES TO MEET HIM AT 8:00 AT THE WYNDHAM
Approximately 19.00 pm, I was ready with playing tennis. I showered in the clubhouse. After I had finised showering I got dressed. Then I called "Andre". We had agreed that we would meet at the Wyndham Hotel at approximately 20.00 pm to play poker.

JORAN SAYS HE ALSO CALLS GUIDO AND ASKS HIM TO GO TO THE WYNDHAM GUIDO DECLINES SAYING HE HAS TO WORK, BUT MIGHT COME LATER
Approximately 19.00 pm, I was ready with playing tennis. I had then also called Guido. Guido had told me that he had to go to work. He would come later and try to enter the tournament for half time
JVDS 6-14
According to Paulus, this conversation took place in person, not over the phone. What then was the true nature of this phone call from Joran to Paulus at around 7:00 pm?
Giving confirmation that the boat was at the launch and ready to go?
JORAN SAYS HE THEN CALLED PAULUS TO ASK PERMISSION TO GO TO THE WYNDHAM TO GAMBLE
Approximately 19.00 pm, I was ready with playing tennis. I showered in the clubhouse. After I had finised showering I got dressed. I had also called my father and asked if I could play poker at the Wyndham Casino. My father gave me permission.

Then we have Joran claiming to have been bouncing from one casino to the next for the hour of 7:00 - 8:00 pm
7:15 JORAN SAYS HE LEFT THE RACQUET CLUB AND STARTED WALKING TO THE WYNDHAM
At approximately 19.15 pm I left on foot for the Wyndham Hotel. I wa s 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 JVDS 6-14
JORAN SAYS WHILE WALKING TOWARD THE WYNDHAM, HE WALKS TOWARD THE MARRIOTT TO SEE IF HE CAN FIND HIS SHOES
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. I at that moment was more worried about the shoes that I had left behind because I was unaware that Natalee had gone missing.
JVDS 6-14 7:45
JORAN SAYS HE ARRIVED AT THE ARUBA GRAND HOTEL AND HE GAMBLED FOR 15 MINUTES
At approximately 19.45 pm I arrived at the Aruba Grant Hotel & Casino. I know the time because I was watching at he big watch of the Wyndham Hotel. Via the pool I walked to the casino. I had gone there because I had U.S. 20,- on me. I played at the U.S. 5,- minimum black jack table. I wanted to play there so I could win some money so I that, after the tournament, I could play cash games with Guido. I played for about 15 minutes. At the end of the game I had U.S. 20,- again. In the casino I spoke with a woman that works there. She knows my face and had told me that she had watched me play poker and that she thought I played well/good. She had then told me that it was 20.00 pm
JVDS 6-14
8:00 PM JORAN SAYS HE LEAVES THE ARUBA GRAND AND STARTS WALKING TO THE WYNDHAM AGAIN
She had then told me that it was 20.00 pm. I immediately walked to the Wyndham Hotel & Casino. At the Wyndham Hotel I walked in through the beach entrance and walked to the casino. JVDS 6-13
Keep in mind what Paulus says he is doing at this time
PAULUS SAID THAT AROUND 8:00 HE TOOK THE BAG TO JORAN, AND JORAN WAS WALKING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE MARRIOTT. HE SAYS HE CAN'T REMEMBER IF HE SAW ANY OF JORAN'S FRIENDS AT THE RACQUET CLUB
We spoke last time about that Monday night when Joran was at the "Raquet Club", that I only took the bag with me. I am remembering that it was around 08:00pm when I took the bag to Joran at the “Raquet Club”, this was when Joran was walking in the direction of the Marriott and mad e the announcement that he was going to participate in the “Free Tournament” at the Wyndham that this came up. In my view I even grumbled (expressed concern) on Joran and then went on to pick up Sebastian at the ZEOLA family. Again I am not sure. This image comes in my head, but I had no reason at that moment to remember any of these things. I had done a lot on automatic pilot. Sure when it came to pickup and bring the kids back. I also don't know the relevance of this fact

On your question if I saw other friends of Joran at the "Raquet Club" on that Monday night of May 30 2005, I can explain to you the following: I can't remember if I had seen Joran's friends. PVDS 6-25
The intense need by Joran to place himself amongst many of his friends, and in front of surveillance cameras for the remainder of the night is evidenced in the following statements.
JOHN Q KELLY SAYS JORAN AND GUIDO WEAVER WERE TOGETHER FROM 7:00 - 2:00 AM NOTE THAT THE FIRST PLACE KELLY MENTIONS IS THE WYNDHAM... ANDRE STATED JORAN DID NOT GET THERE UNTIL 8:30
KELLY: For the life of me, I don't know, Greta. You know, this is someone who, the evening of the morning Natalee disappeared, he was with Joran the entire evening, you know, there at the Windham Hotel, the Aruba Grand, then over at the Radisson from, you know, 7:00 in the evening until 2:00 the next morning, they were out in his car and doing different things. And he certainly should have at least been a person of interest that they should have nailed down all the questions that they wanted to ask him back the beginning of June. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,196661,00.html
ANDRE SAYS JORAN ARRIVED AT THE WYNDHAM AT 8:30
I asked Joran if he was on his way to the Wyndham hotel casino to play in the Texas Hold’m tournament. Joran told me he was on his way there. Around 20.30, Joran walked in to the Casa Blanca casino of the Wyndham hotel
June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos
JORAN SAYS THE TOURNAMENT STARTED AT 8:15
I met Andre and his dad at the Casino. Andre and myself stayed inside the casino and walked around until the tournament started. The tournament started at 20.15 pm.
JVDS 6-14
ANDRE SAYS IT TOOK A LONG TIME AFTER JORAN ARRIVED FOR THE TOURNAMENT TO START
I do remember that Joran walked in by himself. I walked up to Joran and I greeted him. I saw that Joran then registered to play Texas Hold’m poker. I must say that it lasted very long before the Tournament started I saw that Joran played black-jack during this time. Three Card but I now no longer remember which of the two
June 20, 2005 - Andre Dos Santos
Meanwhile, Paulus is working on another portion of their problem, and learning about the timeliness of the effects on a person who has ingested drugs
8:34-8:37 ACCORDING TO A POLICE REPORT PAULUS IS SUPPOSEDLY ON THE INTERNET LOOKING UP DRUGS, ETC
According to an ARUBAN Police report (available here; Thank You and Hat Tip to “klaasend”) analyzing the computer hardrive records of the Suspects VAN DER SLOOT home computer that was found during the June 15, 2005 search and seizure to be physically located inside the Suspects VAN DER SLOOT main home, someone logged onto the computer as Former Murder Suspect PAULUS VAN DER SLOOT, and logs into several Internet pages via separate Google image searches of the words “alcohol,” then “alcohol“ and “bear,” then “drugs.” Links clicked on to open were for alcohol and drugs, and an attorney’s site. Several computer-HTML images were also uploaded to the Suspects SLOOT’s computer hardrive into a file entitled, “alcohol.” AOL TIMELINE
At this point Joran can simply relax. There is nothing more required of him that night, except to remain highly visible. The following is just simple corroboration of Joran making sure he was seen throughout the evening, and can be verified by friends and surveillance footage.
BY 8:45 JORAN SAYS HE HAS LOST ALL HIS MONEY IN THE TOURNAMENT
I was at a table with ten (10) people. At the beginning of the game everyone had to give their registration receipt to the "Dealer". Thirty (30) minutes later I had lost

Little did Joran know, his simple night of providing himself with an alibi was going to come to an abrupt halt with news that was forthcoming that would shock him into a panic...
Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!
