Natalee Case Discussion #775 11/16/08 thru 11/19/08

[Helen Back]

I read Tylergal's post too late, and missed Greta with Shep....did anyone else catch it? 

She blasted Mos!

Basically, she was talking about what was posted today about trying to make arrangements to meet with him. She called his statement silly...essentially called him a liar She said they are either lazy, stupid, or trying to protect Aruba.

Her show Monday night will be about this. I think she said Monday...

Man, Greta came out swinging!  She said she almost jumped out of her chair when she read Mos' press release that they are "looking into every lead".  She told how she tried to present info and he declined each offer, come to DC, meet you in Miami, meet you on the weekend etc. 

She called Mos a liar.  Any prosecutor she knows who could be presented with info on a murder investigation would jump at the chance, but Mos is not interested.

Go Greta.

[Port Valerie]

I'm glad all the election fol-de-rol is over. (You will know it is real change when Janet Reno comes back.) Now Greta can get back to real work. BTW, Drew Peterson is seeking a divorce, per Chicago Tribune.

[vms]

Backed it up. Hope I got this word for word:

Greta said, "When the Aruban prosecutor says they are chasing down every lead, it is a big, fat, lie."

[WhiskeyGirl]

I miss Carpe!  

He said all the things I wanted to say; but couldn't or wouldn't because I was afraid my momma might find out.  Plus so many more things....great pics.....great video.....whatever it took; one of the best warriors for Natalee that I've ever had the priviledge of posting with!

 

Robots & Angie Too!

Ain't that the truth!!!!!!!!

The only reason Mos would chase down a lead is to shut them up!  JMO

New witness comes forward in 2005 disappearance of American teenager in ArubaBy MIKE MELIA | Associated Press Writer
7:29 PM EST, November 18, 2008
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) _ A new witness has come forward in the 2005 disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba, and prosecutors said Tuesday they are seeking more evidence against the only remaining suspect.

A woman told Dutch police this month that Joran van der Sloot confessed to her years ago that he was involved in Holloway's disappearance, according to Ann Angela, a spokeswoman for the Aruba Prosecutors' Office.

But the Dutch Caribbean island's chief prosecutor said authorities still lack proof they need to convict Van der Sloot, who has been arrested twice and released for lack of evidence.

"After three years of investigating, it is very, very difficult to find that evidence," prosecutor Hans Mos told The Associated Press. "We have to be realistic."

Holloway, an 18-year-old from Mountain Brook, Alabama, was last seen in May 2005 leaving a bar in the Aruban capital Oranjestad with Van der Sloot on the final night of a high school graduation trip to the island. Extensive searches have found no trace of her.

Investigators reopened the case earlier this year based on hidden-camera recordings made by a Dutch TV crime show. On the video, Van der Sloot says Holloway collapsed on the beach after they left the bar and that he called a friend to dump her body at sea.

The new witness, once a friend of Van der Sloot, confirmed that he gave her roughly the same account shortly after Holloway's disappearance. But Mos said her statement does not bring authorities any closer to resolving the case.

He also said the witness would lack credibility in court unless she explains why she waited so long to come forward.

Attorneys for Van der Sloot did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment and there was no answer at his parents' home in Aruba.

Van der Sloot was last known to be living in Thailand but his current whereabouts are a "mystery," Angela said.

Angela said Aruban authorities hope to decide by the end of this year whether to prosecute Van der Sloot or close the case for good.

Natalee Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway, did not immediately return a telephone call Tuesday seeking comment.

REALISTIC? They wouldnt know realistic if it hit em in the ass!! Good God!!

[WhiskeyGirl]

Don't forget Jossy on Dana tonight.

On a related matter, I wonder if they have enough evidence to charge PVDS with ANYTHING.  That little snip about how he claimed to be sleeping until 7:00 a.m....  Does that mean he lied as a witness?  

The boat...whose, and who was involved?  Maybe another witness lied?

Maybe someone will be charged with something?  

[AZSunny]

Hopefully someone at BFN will be taping Greta.  I'll watch for it. 

Is it really next week she is going to discuss this?  If it is breaking news...  why not tonight?

Mother of Natalee Holloway: New evidence could come out in Aruba case next week
November 18, 2008
The mother of Natalee Holloway said today that she expects more evidence to emerge soon in her daughter's case -- perhaps as early as next week -- but wouldn't divulge specifics.
The Associated Press reported this afternoon that a new witness has come forward in the 2005 disappearance of the Mountain Brook teenager in Aruba, and prosecutors said they are seeking more evidence against the only remaining suspect.

A woman told Dutch police this month that Joran van der Sloot confessed to her years ago that he was involved in Holloway's disappearance, according to Ann Angela, a spokeswoman for the Aruba Prosecutors' Office, The Associated Press reported.
 
Beth Holloway also said she's helping the parents of missing Homewood woman Nadia Kersh, and may even turn out tomorrow when police open the search to the public.

Holloway's own daughter disappeared in May 2005 while on a trip to Aruba with fellow graduates from Mountain Brook High School. A friend connected her with the family of Kersh, 23, who has been missing since Nov. 3. A $15,000 reward has been offered, and her parents are trying to raise more money to increase that to at least $25,000.

"I'm supporting them in any way I can," Holloway said.

Aren't there two more witnesses that have been tested in the US
recently? We don't know what their testimony is yet, but they
passed the test.
Then Greta's interview.
Mos is going to have to pull his head out of his turtle shell or be
the laughing stock of the legal profession.
