Not much to it but here is is.  I don't believe it has anything to do with a settlement because the judge previously ruled that the plaintiffs could not seek punitive or general damages  ::MonkeyGavel::

Question: Is the partial dismissal with prejudice a result of this California appeals court considers the question of whether two brothers once connected to the disappearance of the American teen are considered limited-purpose public figures? The court stated that ...

Deepak Kalpoe didn't shy away from the limelight. He gave an interview to Fox News' Greta van Susteren and MSNBC's Clint van Zandt and allowed his attorney to give other press interviews. Moreover, Deepak spoke several times to a literary agent and prepared a book proposal. Judge Woods writes, "These actions, considered together, can be interpreted as voluntary acts designed to draw special attention to or influence the public perception of guilt."

This is the court decision I was referring to: http://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/nonpub/B249048.PDF

DISCUSSION

Public figures are subject to a heightened burden when they institute lawsuits for defamation. They must prove by clear and convincing evidence that an allegedly

defamatory statement was made with “actual malice,” that is, with knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard for the truth.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DISPOSITION

The petition is granted in part and denied in part. Let a peremptory writ of mandate issue directing the respondent Los Angeles Superior Court to vacate the portion
of its order of April 2, 2013, which denied petitioners’ Motion in Limine #11 as to real party Deepak and to enter a new and different order granting
that motion as to Deepak to the extent the motion asks that the court find him a limited public figure, and to conduct further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion. Petitioners are to recover their costs in this writ proceeding.

WOODS, J

Red - I don't think the Kalpoes or their attorneys ever expected it to last this long or expected it to go to trial.  I believe all along they were hoping for a settlement.  Once the attorneys realized it wasn't going to happen they started jumping ship.

I think you are right. They wanted that nuance money made to just make something go away. I am glad that Dr. Phil's attorneys did not do so and they probably did not because it would create a terrible precedent and the faux-lawsuits would follow.

As I have said from the outset, in order to file a defamation of character suit, one had to first have character.  ::MonkeyWink::

I always thought that if Deepak loses the case, then he is liable for Dr Phil's attorney fees. If the case is dismissed,then he wouldn't be liable. We should ask a lawyer to be certain.

Victory For Dr. Phil! Defamation Lawsuit From Former Natalee Holloway Murder Suspects Dismissed
Posted on Mar 24, 2015 @ 4:11AM

More than six years and dozens of legal filings later, Dr. Phil McGraw has emerged victorious in a legal tussle against former Natalee Holloway murder suspects Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. The brothers had sued him for defamation back in 2008, but RadarOnline.com has learned that the case was dismissed on March 17.

The Surinamese brothers sued Dr. Phil and CBS Paramount Domestic Studios in 2008, over allegations that producers of the Dr. Phil show hired private investigators and traveled to Aruba. After agreeing to meet the private investigator, the plaintiffs alleged, they were videotaped without their permission. Deepak Kalpoe claims he never had sex with Holloway, despite appearing to admitting to it on the show. Their lawsuit accused Dr. Phil of defamation, invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress.

READ THE BOMBSHELL DISMISSAL  http://radaronline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Mcgraw-signed.pdf

According to court documents obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com, the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice​ on March 17.

Under California law, when a lawsuit is dismissed with prejudice, the plaintiffs are forbidden from filing another lawsuit against the defendant on similar grounds.

It’s unclear if there was a settlement in the case.

R.I.P. ANJANETTE CABIGON (46)

Fatal accident near Shete



Saturday, March 28th, 2015 a safari-Jeep with several tourists capsized on the dirt road near Shete on the way to the Natural Pool at Conchi. The vacation of three American/Filipino nurses came to an abrupt end because one of them came from underneath the jeep; Anjanette Cabigon broke her neck and died instantly.

The jeep was capsized on a moderately sloping portion of the road about 600 meters from Shete. The road here is basically OK. Therefore the emergency services could reach the spot well.

The forensic team conducted an investigation.

Police believes that there has been a failed switch maneuver on the slope upwards, resulting in the jeep going slowly backwards after which the driver lost control of the wheel and then the Jeep capsized.

There was no alcohol involved and as far as we know, the tourists used a seat belt.

Although the road at the scene of the accident is not dangerous, Arikok will further analyse the two routes to Conchi in the coming weeks and together with our partners we will study if there are possible measures to improve safety and access for emergency services.

Parke Arikok will also do additional surveillance in the coming holidays around Easter, explicitly trying to ensure that 4×4 vehicles are not driving too fast (up to 20km/h) in the park and that all visitors observe the safety rules.

Parke Arikok has canceled the Movie Night last Saturday to honor the deceased. Board, management and employees of Arikok are shocked about the fatal accident and wish family and friends of Anjanette Cabigon much strength.

May she rest in Peace. Amen.

Dr. Phil Won't Pay In Defamation Case Over Natalee Holloway
Posted: 12/26/2013 8:03 am EST Updated: 01/23/2014 8:17 am EST

 ::snipping3::

Judge Fred Woods, writing for a three-judge panel of the Second Appellate District on Dec. 17, cited a California statute in their ruling. The code, the judge wrote, requires parties seeking damages for defamation from news sources to first "demand a correction" or "[be] limited only to recovering special damages."

The statute was important to the ruling because the plaintiffs did not dispute claims by Dr. Phil's attorneys that they never demanded a correction from Dr. Phil or the producers of his show.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge William MacLaughlin had cited the same code in his December 2012 ruling that the plaintiffs could not seek punitive or general damages. However, the defense then asked the court to reconsider the ruling. They maintained the retraction rule only applied to media outlets engaged in the "immediate and rapid dissemination of news."

In Tuesday’s written ruling, Woods said the three-judge panel could not conclude that the statute only applies to outlets that engage in covering breaking news.

"The petition is denied [and] each party is to bear its own costs," Woods wrote in his ruling.

Justice Fred Woods to Retire From C.A. at End of Month
 
By a MetNews Staff Writer
 
Court of Appeal Justice Fred Woods of this district’s Div. Seven will retire at the end of the month, the MetNews has learned.

(http://www.metnews.com/articles/2015/wood032515_files/image001.jpg)
FRED WOODS
Court of Appeal Justice

Woods was not available yesterday for comment, but a staff member confirmed that the jurist plans to end his 30-year-plus judicial career on March 31, his 80th birthday.

He has served on the Court of Appeal since 1988, when he was elevated from the Los Angeles Superior Court, to which he was appointed in 1984.

 ::snipping3::

Woods earned his law degree in 1963 and was admitted to the State Bar the following year. He spent 20 years in law practice in Long Beach, becoming senior litigator at the firm that eventually became Riedman, Dalessi, Woods and Dybens. He chaired the Trial Section of the Long Beach Bar Association and served on the association’s board in 1976, and taught in the association’s Trial Clinic.

He was appointed to the Los Angeles Superior Court in 1984 by then-Gov. George Deukmejian, who had practiced with the same firm before becoming state attorney general in 1979. He presided over criminal and civil trials and in the law and motion department, and also served in the Appellate Department, before being elevated to the Court of Appeal in 1988.

His opinions have included Fisher v. San Pedro Peninsula Hospital (1989) 214 Cal.App.3d 590, a leading case on hostile-environment sexual harassment; Roberts v. Los Angeles County Bar Assn. (2003) 105 Cal. App. 4th 604, rejecting a challenge to the County Bar’s judicial evaluations process; Jevne v. Superior Court (2005) 35 Cal.4th 935, holding that the State Bar’s contractual arbitration rules were preempted to the extent they conflicted with rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers governing disputes between brokers and investors; and Kalpoe v. Superior Court (2013) 222 Cal. App. 4th 206, holding that a state law barring recovery of non-economic damages in a defamation suit against a newspaper or broadcaster if the plaintiff fails to make a timely retraction demand is not limited to defendants engaged in the immediate dissemination of news.

Personal Reflections on the End of a Family Journey and the Beginning of a New One
WRITTEN BY: ANDY WOODS MARCH 28, 2015

At the end of this month my Father, Fred Woods, will turn 80. Consequently, he has opted to retire from his position as a California Court of Appeals Justice at the end of the month on his 80th birthday. Being a California jurist is a position that he has held for the last 27 years.1 He was originally appointed to the CA trial court. Then about four years later he was elevated to the California Court of Appeal. He has enjoyed a prolific career on the bench. During his 22 years on the California Court of Appeal he has authored roughly 3100 judicial opinions. Many of his opinions remain influential in the California legal system up until the present day.

 ::snipping3::

I think this whole experience, as well as growing up in his household, has taught me at least three great truths. First, character still counts. At the end of an era character is what most people will remember about you. They may not remember your intellect or the specific views you held on different issues. Rather, what they recall is you and who you are as a human being. Sometimes in the heat of battle it’s easy to want to win an argument. However, in this very process sometimes we end up losing the war because of the way we mistreated and alienated people along the way. It seems that today’s landscape is filled with people who are often more bent on pursuing victory than they are in pursuing justice or discovering truth. However, my father was never that way. While he took solid positions on a host of issues, at the end of the day people still actually liked and respected him.

My only regret is that we couldn't get the Kalpoes on the stand under oath.

Dismissal with Prejudice A dismissal with prejudice is a judgment rendered in a lawsuit on its merits that prevents the plaintiff from bringing the same lawsuit against the same defendant in the future. It is a harsh remedy that has the effect of canceling the action so that it can never again be commenced. A dismissal with prejudice is Res Judicata as to every issue litigated in the action.
The possibility of such a dismissal acts as a deterrent to the use of dilatory tactics by a plaintiff who wants to prejudice a defendant's case by unreasonably hindering the disposition of the action from the time of the filing of the action to the actual trial of the issues. It is also designed to minimize, if not eliminate, the congestion of court calendars caused by unnecessary delays in pending cases. Because it is regarded as a drastic remedy, courts grant dismissals with prejudice only in the most egregious cases in response to a motion brought by a defendant or by a court sua sponte or on its own will.

I could be wrong here, but I assume cases "settled" out of court are not usually dismissed "with prejudice."

My history is kind of like Blenchi's.  I had never posted on any message board anywhere in my life but there was a bulletin board that I checked on a regular basis just for news.  That is aruba-bb.com.  They have a news forum called Aruba Tradewinds Times and I had it bookmarked for a couple of years prior to any of this

Then when the story broke in 2005, I saw that they started a Natalee forum at aruba-bb and I checked it out.  Suffice it to say, what I saw made my blood boil and required me to register and join the fray.  That board shut down their NH forum pretty quickly but somewhere along the line, I got referred to visitaruba.com and started posting there.  Sherry kept that board open until the end of September, 2005 then shut it down for the reasons stated by Blenchi.  I didn't post about the case anywhere at all for about three months.  Then a friend of mine at visitaruba alerted me to Refs and I registered there and re-joined the fray.  From there, I got refered here.

Just a thought...................

The Kalpoes have to be REALLY angry now that they lost everything in their case against Dr. Phil, right? Who "caused" all this pain and suffering to them for the last 10 years?? Isn't it now time to exact some revenge themselves? Maybe we should approach the Kalpoes about spilling the beans on Jordan!

I would not be surprised at all if someone hasn't already thought about that and approached the Kalpoes with an offer (no inside info on this just hoping).  Wouldn't that be great!   ::MonkeyCool::

Raleigh woman, friend stranded in Aruba after ATV accident
Posted April 14

RALEIGH, N.C. — A Raleigh woman and her friend are finally able to return home after an ATV accident left them stranded at a hospital in Aruba.

Kenya Dukes and Deana Kennedy left for Aruba on Thursday to celebrate Kennedy's 35th birthday.

"We thought we were coming for four days to lay in the sun, but that's just not what happened," Kennedy said.

While in Aruba, the two friends decided to go on an ATV tour, but after a few minutes the adventure turned dangerous.

"We were probably six minutes into the ride when the steering component got stuck," Kennedy said. "I was thrown off. I hit my hip on the ground and I rolled."

Kennedy broke her pelvis and had to undergo emergency surgery.

"What we didn't realize is that I can't get on a plane. I can't sit up," Kennedy said.

According to doctors, Kennedy will need an air ambulance to return home to the U.S. The cost is estimated at $34,000 and an additional $22,000 is needed for the hospital bill.

"Here on the Aruba side they won't accept my insurance," she said.

According to travel agent Nicole Bass, it is not uncommon for travelers to find themselves abroad with unexpected medical expenses.

"Your normal medical insurance doesn't cover you when you leave the country," Bass said.

 ::snipping3::

"Always have travel insurance. Do not leave the country, don't go to Canada, don't go to the Virgin Islands, nowhere without travel insurance," Kennedy said.

Dukes and Kennedy said they will spend Tuesday night in Aruba but plan to arrive back in the U.S. on Wednesday.


(in the video the reporter says they weren't able to leave because they still didn't have the funds)

Hopefully, they're home now!

What Obamacare doesn't cover medical claims in Aruba?  ::MonkeyWink::

So Aruba is not letting these people leave without paying their bill? How are they going to come up with $20K for hospital bills. Obviously, once they leave Aruba, the hospital will have no recourse in ever getting the $'s. So they are captive on Aruba until the bill is paid? REALLY?

And how much did extra days in the hospital/hotel etc. cost them because they weren't allowed to leave?

Seems like it could be a vicious cycle to me.  You don't have the money, but the cost is only going up every day?!!!

From what I hear Obamacare doesn't cover most medical claims here either!   ::MonkeyDevil::

Beth Holloway: 10 years after her daughter’s disappearance, Beth Holloway has reclaimed her life.

Written by Andy McWhorter

Photography by Liesa Cole

Over the past decade, Beth Holloway’s path through life has taken the kind of turns that few people will ever be expected to face.

After her daughter Natalee’s disappearance in Aruba in 2005, Holloway became a determined mother who persevered through years of uncertainty in search of answers and justice. She became an impassioned public speaker, spreading her family’s story across the nation to anyone who would listen, in the hopes that it might prevent another family from going through the same ordeal as her own. In 2010, she once again came face-to-face with Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch national who had been the prime suspect in Natalee’s disappearance, when he tried to extort thousands of dollars from her before fleeing to Peru, where he killed another young woman.

Given the hardship Holloway and her family have faced since 2005, the terms she uses to describe her life today might be surprising: peaceful, joyful, happy. “I’m in a place where I’m moving onward and upward,” Holloway says. “I’m not ‘over’ anything, because you don’t get over the loss of a loved one, but you do begin to move on. There’s never closure, because it’s never over. But you do begin to find joy and peace and happiness.”

That joy, she says, has not come easy. “When you lose a loved one, you feel like you lose part of your family,” she says. “You do, you lose your family, you lose the life that you once knew and loved. That life is gone. So you’re looking at redefining and rebuilding and reclaiming a new life.” Recovering from Natalee’s disappearance, she says, has been a matter of redefining and rebuilding. It’s taken 10 years and a lot of fight from Holloway to arrive where she is now. But it’s a good place.

Holloway lives in Homewood, Alabama, on the top floor of a luxury apartment building. Warm, antique furniture lines the living room, and pictures of her family are scattered around the room. A large photo of Natalee in her high school dance team outfit occupies a prominent place on the sideboard.

Holloway’s family has changed a good deal over the last 10 years in both good and bad ways. About a year after she returned from Aruba, Holloway and her then-husband Jeb Twitty separated. Since that time, however, her family has started to grow again, thanks in no small part to her son, Matthew. Now 26 years old, Matthew is a 911 operator with a commercial pilot’s license, and he is training for his airframe and powerplant license. Like his mother, Matthew sought comfort in those around him and work he found meaning from in order to endure the loss of a sister and his family’s long absence. “He went through a rough spell, of course, for a few years,” Holloway says. “But he really directed or channeled his energy into aviation. I think that just gave him what he needed between his friends and faith. Friends, faith, and flying. [Those were] his three.”

Matthew is also a brand-new father. Holloway’s first grandchild, a girl named Rylee Ann, was born on Dec. 23, 2014. “It was wonderful,” Holloway says. “I had no idea the love I could have for a grandchild. All my friends that have grandchildren, they’re always talking about their love of them. I love my children, Natalee and Matt, but I didn’t know how else I would feel about a grandchild. But as soon as I met her I thought, ‘Oh. So this is the love that they have for their grandchildren.’ It was beautiful.”

Though Holloway has gone through two divorces, she remained optimistic on that front and indeed has found someone with whom to share her life. “I’ll just say one thing,” she says. “I am engaged, and that’s it. He’d kill me if I said his name, though.”

 ::snipping3::

Altogether, Holloway’s life today looks much different than it did 10 years ago; she says arriving here has not happened on accident. “This is a point in my life where I’ve worked hard to find that happiness and joy, and I’ve done a lot of work over the past 10 years,” she says. That work began in Aruba, just a few short days after her daughter disappeared. The first few years after 2005 were a search for answers more so than a search for happiness; it took a moment of revelation at a small Catholic church in Aruba for Holloway to begin moving forward again after Natalee’s disappearance. Holloway was raised as a Methodist, with a mother who taught her that God is good, and a grandmother who told her, “Lay your burdens at the cross.” On her fourth morning in Aruba, those lessons came into sharper focus for Holloway. She found a taxi and asked the driver to take her somewhere to pray. “He pulled over and there was a large white cross, and he told me to get out of the car, and as I did, I walked to the cross and just fell to the cross on my knees and just started crying and begging and praying to God to give Natalee back,” she says. “I got up, and I went to next cross, repeated my same prayers and dropped to my knees and kept praying and crying and begging for God to give her back.”

After days of searching for her missing daughter, Holloway says she was in unbearable pain. Though she was unfamiliar with the Catholic tradition of the stations of the cross, she instinctively went from cross to cross, each time seeking an answer. Finally, on the fifth or sixth station, she found one. “Complete peace blanketed me, and in that instant somehow I then knew that Natalee was with God, and I knew that he had cared for her through whatever ordeal she had encountered that night, and that’s when I became at peace,” she says. “When my grandmother was always saying, ‘Lay your burdens at the cross,’ I got, at that point, what she was saying. I laid the burden of caring for Natalee at the cross. The work to find out what happened to her had to be done, but the burden was taken from me.”

Holloway spent years pressuring authorities to find answers about Natalee’s disappearance and to bring those she believed responsible to justice. At the same time, she felt another calling. In the first month she spent on the island, Holloway made a promise that she would spend the next decade trying to keep. “I made a pledge on the island of Aruba,” she said. “I made [a] pledge in June 2005 that I would get in front of as many high schools, colleges, and groups of people as I could, and I did. I have taken every opportunity since that date.” Holloway has spoken to tens of thousands of people over the last decade, and though the tone of her message might have evolved as she evolved, the content has remained consistent. “It’s a message of hope, and my definition of hope is that inexplicable empowerment that enables us to move successfully from challenge to resolution with courage,” she explains. “It’s more than just wishful thinking. It is real that there is light at the end of the tunnel. No matter what you’re trying to find your way through—It could be loss of a loved one, it could be terminal illness, it could be a financial loss. It’s a powerful inspirational message that I share that teaches perseverance and hope and that you can endure.”

 ::snipping3::

Holloway’s path to the present day—the reclaiming of her life—began in 2010, when she confronted Joran van der Sloot for the final time. “Leading up to May of 2010, that’s when all the extortion was going on with Joran,” Holloway says. “So at that point, I was not in a good place, so to speak.”

Van der Sloot contacted Holloway’s representative near the end of March of 2010 and offered to reveal the location of Natalee’s body for $250,000. He received a $25,000 advance and in return provided false information. “Shortly thereafter, the extortion charges and the FBI sting [were] about to go down in Aruba,” Holloway says. “Then all of a sudden, Joran has fled the country. He surfaced in Peru, where he has murdered another young woman, not only the same scenario, but the exact date and the same time that he had murdered Natalee.” On May 30, 2010—five years to the day after Natalee’s disappearance—Van der Sloot strangled 21-year-old Stephany Flores to death in a Lima hotel room. During his trial, Van der Sloot was held in Miguel Castro Castro prison. It was visiting him there that gave Holloway the push to move forward. “I think once I visited Castro Castro, Joran in prison, and was able to walk away from there, it was almost a freeing experience for me to know that it was time now,” she remembers. “Joran was in prison, and this is what I had worked so hard for, for five years. This was what I had wanted in ’05.”

Seeing Van der Sloot behind bars did not bring complete closure—Natalee’s case will always remain open in the United States. It did, however, allow Holloway to start taking her life in a new direction. “It allowed me then to move onward…. I hadn’t found peace and joy and happiness yet—but I began to recognize it and learned how to embrace it, and then I think it just led to place where I am now, which is a good place.”

Beth Holloway: 10 years after her daughter’s disappearance, Beth Holloway has reclaimed her life.

Written by Andy McWhorter

Photography by Liesa Cole

Over the past decade, Beth Holloway’s path through life has taken the kind of turns that few people will ever be expected to face.

After her daughter Natalee’s disappearance in Aruba in 2005, Holloway became a determined mother who persevered through years of uncertainty in search of answers and justice. She became an impassioned public speaker, spreading her family’s story across the nation to anyone who would listen, in the hopes that it might prevent another family from going through the same ordeal as her own. In 2010, she once again came face-to-face with Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch national who had been the prime suspect in Natalee’s disappearance, when he tried to extort thousands of dollars from her before fleeing to Peru, where he killed another young woman.

Given the hardship Holloway and her family have faced since 2005, the terms she uses to describe her life today might be surprising: peaceful, joyful, happy. “I’m in a place where I’m moving onward and upward,” Holloway says. “I’m not ‘over’ anything, because you don’t get over the loss of a loved one, but you do begin to move on. There’s never closure, because it’s never over. But you do begin to find joy and peace and happiness.”

That joy, she says, has not come easy. “When you lose a loved one, you feel like you lose part of your family,” she says. “You do, you lose your family, you lose the life that you once knew and loved. That life is gone. So you’re looking at redefining and rebuilding and reclaiming a new life.” Recovering from Natalee’s disappearance, she says, has been a matter of redefining and rebuilding. It’s taken 10 years and a lot of fight from Holloway to arrive where she is now. But it’s a good place.

Holloway lives in Homewood, Alabama, on the top floor of a luxury apartment building. Warm, antique furniture lines the living room, and pictures of her family are scattered around the room. A large photo of Natalee in her high school dance team outfit occupies a prominent place on the sideboard.

Holloway’s family has changed a good deal over the last 10 years in both good and bad ways. About a year after she returned from Aruba, Holloway and her then-husband Jeb Twitty separated. Since that time, however, her family has started to grow again, thanks in no small part to her son, Matthew. Now 26 years old, Matthew is a 911 operator with a commercial pilot’s license, and he is training for his airframe and powerplant license. Like his mother, Matthew sought comfort in those around him and work he found meaning from in order to endure the loss of a sister and his family’s long absence. “He went through a rough spell, of course, for a few years,” Holloway says. “But he really directed or channeled his energy into aviation. I think that just gave him what he needed between his friends and faith. Friends, faith, and flying. [Those were] his three.”

Matthew is also a brand-new father. Holloway’s first grandchild, a girl named Rylee Ann, was born on Dec. 23, 2014. “It was wonderful,” Holloway says. “I had no idea the love I could have for a grandchild. All my friends that have grandchildren, they’re always talking about their love of them. I love my children, Natalee and Matt, but I didn’t know how else I would feel about a grandchild. But as soon as I met her I thought, ‘Oh. So this is the love that they have for their grandchildren.’ It was beautiful.”

Though Holloway has gone through two divorces, she remained optimistic on that front and indeed has found someone with whom to share her life. “I’ll just say one thing,” she says. “I am engaged, and that’s it. He’d kill me if I said his name, though.”

 ::snipping3::

Altogether, Holloway’s life today looks much different than it did 10 years ago; she says arriving here has not happened on accident. “This is a point in my life where I’ve worked hard to find that happiness and joy, and I’ve done a lot of work over the past 10 years,” she says. That work began in Aruba, just a few short days after her daughter disappeared. The first few years after 2005 were a search for answers more so than a search for happiness; it took a moment of revelation at a small Catholic church in Aruba for Holloway to begin moving forward again after Natalee’s disappearance. Holloway was raised as a Methodist, with a mother who taught her that God is good, and a grandmother who told her, “Lay your burdens at the cross.” On her fourth morning in Aruba, those lessons came into sharper focus for Holloway. She found a taxi and asked the driver to take her somewhere to pray. “He pulled over and there was a large white cross, and he told me to get out of the car, and as I did, I walked to the cross and just fell to the cross on my knees and just started crying and begging and praying to God to give Natalee back,” she says. “I got up, and I went to next cross, repeated my same prayers and dropped to my knees and kept praying and crying and begging for God to give her back.”

After days of searching for her missing daughter, Holloway says she was in unbearable pain. Though she was unfamiliar with the Catholic tradition of the stations of the cross, she instinctively went from cross to cross, each time seeking an answer. Finally, on the fifth or sixth station, she found one. “Complete peace blanketed me, and in that instant somehow I then knew that Natalee was with God, and I knew that he had cared for her through whatever ordeal she had encountered that night, and that’s when I became at peace,” she says. “When my grandmother was always saying, ‘Lay your burdens at the cross,’ I got, at that point, what she was saying. I laid the burden of caring for Natalee at the cross. The work to find out what happened to her had to be done, but the burden was taken from me.”

Holloway spent years pressuring authorities to find answers about Natalee’s disappearance and to bring those she believed responsible to justice. At the same time, she felt another calling. In the first month she spent on the island, Holloway made a promise that she would spend the next decade trying to keep. “I made a pledge on the island of Aruba,” she said. “I made [a] pledge in June 2005 that I would get in front of as many high schools, colleges, and groups of people as I could, and I did. I have taken every opportunity since that date.” Holloway has spoken to tens of thousands of people over the last decade, and though the tone of her message might have evolved as she evolved, the content has remained consistent. “It’s a message of hope, and my definition of hope is that inexplicable empowerment that enables us to move successfully from challenge to resolution with courage,” she explains. “It’s more than just wishful thinking. It is real that there is light at the end of the tunnel. No matter what you’re trying to find your way through—It could be loss of a loved one, it could be terminal illness, it could be a financial loss. It’s a powerful inspirational message that I share that teaches perseverance and hope and that you can endure.”

 ::snipping3::

Holloway’s path to the present day—the reclaiming of her life—began in 2010, when she confronted Joran van der Sloot for the final time. “Leading up to May of 2010, that’s when all the extortion was going on with Joran,” Holloway says. “So at that point, I was not in a good place, so to speak.”

Van der Sloot contacted Holloway’s representative near the end of March of 2010 and offered to reveal the location of Natalee’s body for $250,000. He received a $25,000 advance and in return provided false information. “Shortly thereafter, the extortion charges and the FBI sting [were] about to go down in Aruba,” Holloway says. “Then all of a sudden, Joran has fled the country. He surfaced in Peru, where he has murdered another young woman, not only the same scenario, but the exact date and the same time that he had murdered Natalee.” On May 30, 2010—five years to the day after Natalee’s disappearance—Van der Sloot strangled 21-year-old Stephany Flores to death in a Lima hotel room. During his trial, Van der Sloot was held in Miguel Castro Castro prison. It was visiting him there that gave Holloway the push to move forward. “I think once I visited Castro Castro, Joran in prison, and was able to walk away from there, it was almost a freeing experience for me to know that it was time now,” she remembers. “Joran was in prison, and this is what I had worked so hard for, for five years. This was what I had wanted in ’05.”

Seeing Van der Sloot behind bars did not bring complete closure—Natalee’s case will always remain open in the United States. It did, however, allow Holloway to start taking her life in a new direction. “It allowed me then to move onward…. I hadn’t found peace and joy and happiness yet—but I began to recognize it and learned how to embrace it, and then I think it just led to place where I am now, which is a good place.”


Wow, what a beautiful woman.  Last Sunday as we drove through Birmingham I had to look over at Homewood and think of Natalee.  Then it dawned on me that it has been 10 years since Natalee was murdered.  I am so happy for Matt, he has a daughter and Beth and Dave have a granddaughter.  AND Beth is engaged.  I am just happy for her and I know Natalee would be also.

The length of Van der Sloot's stay in Challapalca will depend on his behavior, Inpe officials said.

If he behaves properly he could be transferred soon to another prison with better accommodations, such as are available at Piedras Gordas.

Challapalca, the country's most feared criminal.
Posted on Tuesday May 5, 2015 at 06:51A

A 4800 meters 19 years ago was built in an arid land on the border of Puno and Tacna, one of the most feared criminal in the country. Challapalca It was former President Alberto Fujimori, who gave the green light to build this prison maximum security with the idea of locking up the most dangerous criminals in the country. Thus, the August 8, 1996 began to rise the walls of the prison. The following year, Challapalca opened. At that time, he received 50 prisoners referred from the criminal La Capilla in Juliaca and Yanamayo in Puno. Gradually more were arriving inmates. It is in November last year that this enclosure reached the maximum number of prisoners, 148 in total. For the first time, almost able to cover their capacity was designed for 150 inmates. In the last inspection of the Ombudsman of Puno, on 20 March last, it was found that even today Challapalca welcomes 122 inmates under appeal special regime closed. Complaints have always been a constant and this time was no exception. That day, 15 inmates passed a medical evaluation and as always some of these expressed their complaints to the Commissioner of the Public Defender, Mercedes Pilco. "You can not live in these conditions, "expressed to Pilco and requested his transfer to another prison. "Almost always ask the same thing, do not want to be locked up there," said Pilco.

Did the Globe get an exclusive update from Challapalca on how Joran's feeling about getting away with it these days?    ::MonkeyTongue::  ::MonkeyWink::

He could have had it made in the shade in his custom cell in Aruba, hell he'd probably already be out by now!    ::boxjoran::

He didn't get away with anything.  For the five years he did walk free and continually cause more pain for Natalee's family, he didn't do it without having to look over his shoulder.  Beth didn't let him get away with it, and we didn't either! 

Stephany Flores should have never met Joran.  Period.  Her senseless brutal murder is and forever will be on the hands of ALL who protected Joran from prosecution in Natalee's case; and Aruba will always have the dark cloud of Natalee's injustice hanging over it.

Natalee Holloway’s disappearance and murder has haunted the world and media since 2005. The messy investigation in to the 18 year old’s disappearance and death dealt by the hands of Aruba native Joran van der Sloot was even turned into a made-for-TV movie. Although Natalee’s body was never actually found – the investigation went on for several years and Joran was arrested on more than one occasion and then released due to lack of evidence. According to a new report – some evidence has been uncovered that could finally lead to justice for Natalee Holloway and her family.

The May 18 cover of GLOBE Magazine features the familiar high-school photo of Natalee Holloway that we have seen plastered on the news over the past ten years. The headline reveals, “Natalee Holloway Bombshell Evidence: 10 Years Later Eyewitness Breaks Silence.” The GLOBE cover also includes a photo of killer Joran van der Sloot and teases an in-depth story on “how he got away with murder.” If you followed Natalee’s case over the years – then you have to pick up a copy of GLOBE this week as soon as it hits newsstands!

It sounds like it is going to be the drug dealer that claims he witnessed it happening at the Marriott but was afraid to come out. The last story was Dave was wanting to go and check it out. Natalee may have been there at first, but I still think she ended up in that crab cage.

The picture on the cover is of the same guy that has been in the news since about February iirc. 

Same guy from Diario in 2010.

The timing of his contacting Natalee's family, and going to Mos with his "theory" is interesting to me. 

The Persistence left Aruba March 3, 2008.

Is there anything documented about this guy or his theory before this?

Hinky, imo.   ::MonkeyNoNo::



It would be interesting to know if he told Dave Holloway he was a WITNESS in 2008, or did he present it as his theory as he did to Diario in 2010?

Bon Dia,

The search for the body of Natalee Holloway is characterized given by one important: the blind spot!

There is too much and Telang the bizarre and cruel lies of Joran listened and it seems no one has used the healthy common sense.

While there are many complex scenarios were created, the solution to this mystery is so simple and all those years was her remains literally right under your noses.

As I then right after the broadcast of Peter R. de Vries to him and was declared two detectives Almere Joran's "confession" a big distraction and played Joran and Patrick cahoots.

Recently, the latter indeed confirmed by a study of Joran himself, but his last real swamp story however is as usual the biggest hogwash.

In the months of March and April 2008, I had arranged telephone contact with the parents of Natalee, especially with Dave Holloway, since he had been working on the actual searches on Aruba.

Then he told about a nasty odor that hung for about two weeks around the construction site of the Marriott, this for me was the reason to investigate this further me.

I contacted dr.Jantz of the "Body Farm" in Knoxville and gave him the necessary information needed to determine the time when her body was consumed.

I gave him the day and night temperature of Aruba in June, her body weight, she had to swimwear, was tucked away somewhere, but not buried!

It's an important, busy person and I just a "nobody", but he gave me the day after its conclusion about two weeks!

That was my reason to go deeper into the matter excavated and gradually came more confirmations of my theory.

Ironically it Joran itself is enough that in his book me two very important clues!

Under item 4 of the overview map of Aruba reads: "The Marriott hotel where Natalee was staying" when everyone knows that she stayed at the Holiday Inn (!).

And at p. 50, section "Girlfriends" he calls one Jillian, where he has had with courtship and a half years and she is the daughter of someone involved in the construction of the Marriott.

The father of Natalee wrote about a key found in the car of Deepak, who claimed that it was his mother, but before that could be verified lost one policeman key and then everyone forgot about its existence.

It was now so ready for me like a lump of what was going in the stem and therefore I asked in mid-May 2008 Chief Moss to take action and "to launch an investigation on the former site of the Marriott Aruba Surf Club.

But what my surprise joking when he claimed that he be sent my mail, which includes my complete theory, with drawings and all, could not open because it was one PDF document!?

As he to obtain a search warrant with one well-substantiated story to the court commissioner must knock, and he had not, his proposal to ask the Marriott to participate voluntarily in the study.

The same day I had Marriott's manager on the line, and despite my assurance that the entire viewing operation would proceed very discreet and there's a minimal damage would be caused to the hotel, he introduced himself hard on and I got the brush-off .

Also, my request to Mr Moss for copies of the drawings were not honored, there was absolutely no understanding and cooperation.

My disappointment was great, but because I do not give up quickly when I decided to do it my way and vijtien months later I visited late August 2009 Aruba and went right along with the DOW to take pictures of the drawings of the Marriott.

With diving, however, I began to suffer from one perforated eardrum and therefore ill and was only back in the Netherlands I could quietly investigate these drawings and 7 September 2009 I thought ninety percent certain to know where the remains of Natalee was hidden.

Now this sounds very presumptuous, so let me therefore first set the record one glance, then my theory and then you can decide for yourself whether it really holds water if I'm one big dreamer.
 
FACTS

Joran suffered from behavioral disorders (tantrums, steal, drink and gambling) and ran for it with a psychiatrist.

He founded one site that incited violence and rape, which incidentally just after the disappearance of Natalee was quickly lifted.

When Joran and Natalee were dropped then nobody has seen them together, which is strange,
because of the 'n festival there were more people in the early hours on the beach present than normal.

The radar has determined that night not a single maritime activity.

Joran has neither the police nor the ambulance called.

He had just after her disappearance scratches on his face.

His shoes had disappeared.

When he visited came home in the early morning he scribbled one porn site, despite the fact that the same day he "had one exam.

All the accomplices designated by Joran denied by Microsoft.

Joran had 1.5 years of courtship with the daughter of someone who was involved in the construction of the Marriott.

There was a key found in the car of Deepak, which was later lost, however.

Shortly after her disappearance appeared on the site of "scared monkeys" messages from one Shango, with all sorts of cryptic text and one of them was:

"Why did not bring his Lordship the key found in the car"

There was a period of two weeks' n dirty stench around the construction site of the Marriott Aruba Surf Club.

There's never sought, because at night a lock sitting on the fence.

Dave Holloway told me that daytime was a "short-cut" between the parking lot of the Marriott and the Holiday Inn.
 
Joran says in the "secret" rapture of Peter R. de Vries two remarkable things:

"If they find her, I'm the dick" which even Patrick bevreemt because he responds by saying:

"She's totally destroyed" and indeed the sea knew much, if not all traces and later stoned he stares ahead, he says:

"They'll never find her ......... I .denk"

He has his own dog topped with 'n' paint-ballgun ".

Around the Marriott time were many dog ​​carcasses found.

Without help, can anyone corpse up to two hundred meters fresh hoot.

Despite intensive searches with sonar at sea, on land with dogs and prods, in the caves, the lime kilns, draining lakes and aerial photos of F-16s Natalee remained all these years untraceable.
 
As it 's good detective befits I also made speculations and moved myself in the position of Joran.
 
Here is my theory of what has happened that fateful night on 30 May 2005:
 
Joran has his eye on Natalee, but it is not the standard amorous adolescent who feels butterflies in his stomach.

No, he's the blow that really not normal contact with women is maintained and is purely on sex and in fact he can only get a girl because most of feel that he is criminally insane.

He agreed with Natalee on Carlos'n Charlie's, and performs its slow drunk, so she later when he gets the chance to strike is not on guard.
 
Around closing Carlos'n Charlie's emptied and searched everyone transportation to their hotels.

Joran Natalee separated from her group and suggested to take a taxi.

Because taxis in Aruba all look different, it was a snap to get her back to the car of Deepak.

They drove to the California Lighthouse, Natalee wanted to see sharks, but they did not stop for and eventually drove them back and Joran and Natalee were dropped off at the parking lot of the Marriott again.

Joran suggested one "short-cut" to take, walked to the fence around the construction site and opening it ... with one key (!)
To their right is the Marriott Aruba Surf Club Phase 3, its construction already finished and only needs to be finished and left a row of containers.

Joran proposes to go star gazing and Natalee's remark that there is already a roof on the hotel is right, then he points to one building at the far end of the site.

If you have the floor plan of the hotel on the Google Earth satellite image of June 22, 2005 explains, you see that this building will be the beginning of the emergency stairwell # 3 of "The Spyglass Tower".

They walk in, climb on the landing, go up the stairs to the first floor and steps in a "half" room, which later would become the space behind the elevators.

They lie down on the floor together in love and gazing at the starry sky and everything is nice and peaceful.

But the true nature of someone coming adjust upwards if there are no witnesses, because out of nowhere there's that awful change, it is a beast, because suddenly Joran Natalee brutally raped and then break her neck!

He then takes her in his arms and running down the stairs and puts her on the landing.

He jumps down, pulls her out of the overflow in a fire grip and smacks her with a twist on the ground.

Then he pushes the sand away in the crawl space and pulls Natalee at her feet inside.

He crawls to the end of the room and packed with sand the crack closed.

His shoes, which sits on blood, kicks it out and leave it on the spot behind.

He squeezes out again and again, he then makes the crack with sand close and then runs smiling, barefoot into the night.
 
I have this information to the Diario passed, because I just think that the Arubans entitled to it!

Through that spirit sick Joran and eight actual boycott then, thanks for all your help, the whole island has namely unnecessary and unjustified much damage.
 
Because I by i.a. not taken seriously and they do not appreciate my offer knowledge and services, I hereby leave the Aruban people judge the credibility of my theory.

Hopefully this tip with this black chapter can finally be closed and Aruba weather really One Happy Island!

While I will always doubt that there was someone who knew all the truth and was cryptically giving us all the answers in code/riddles, I do believe it someone on the island with SOME information that got caught up and stated to embellish with theories. We shouldn't discount EVERYTHING they said.

Took a little figuring out but I think I have it fixed now so that everyone can modify their own posts on all boards except a few.  I still am not allowing modification in the Natalee Holloway Important Case Documents and in the Forum Rules area.  If you are in a normal thread and can't modify, let me know.  But I think it's ok now.

Thanks Wreck for the suggestion.  I agree, it's time  ::MonkeyCool::

I was stunned to see this online tonight. If true, even if this witness was doing something illegal that night, how could he have waited so long to come forward?? Was anyone able to catch the feature on Inside Edition??

Ten long years this witness waited, ten years of agony for this family......

“I saw Natalee Holloway on the last night she was alive. I was the eyewitness,” Jurrien de Jong told Inside Edition. "I saw that Joran was chasing Natalee into a small building under construction. In about five minutes he came out with Natalee in his arms, and slammed the body of Natalee on the floor, and then he made an opening in a crawl space…I knew she was dead.” ::snipping3::


De Jong told the Algemeen Dagblad newspaper earlier this year that he didn't come forward sooner as he was involved in illegal drug activity at the time, and did not want to go to the police.

Eric Olthof, Aruba's prosecutor, told Inside Edition he was looking into the claims and expected his investigation would take up to two months.

Natalee Holloway disappeared on May 30, 2005 while celebrating her high school graduation in Aruba with friends. Witnesses say she was seen leaving a club with van der Sloot, who was 17 at the time.

Van der Sloot is currently in prison in Peru, where he is serving a 28-year sentence for the 2010 murder of Stephany Flores in a Lima hotel room. Once his sentence is complete, he will be extradited to the United States, where he will face charges of extorting and defrauding Holloway's mother.

There have been a number of supposed leads in the case over the years, including conflicting statements from van der Sloot himself, who was arrested twice but never charged. Van der Sloot has claimed to have left Natalee alone and drunk on a beach; he was also caught on hidden camera apparently confessing to the killing, and told Fox News that he sold her into slavery.

The case, however, remains unsolved. ::snipping3::

A man claiming to be a witness to Natalee Holloway's 2005 disappearance came forward recently to help with the cold case. Jurrien de Jong, a 59-year-old Dutch man, told Inside Edition he watched Joran van der Sloot, the primary suspect in Holloway's case, carry her body in Aruba 10 years ago.

Jurrien de Jong, a 59-year-old Dutch man, told Inside Edition he watched Joran van der Sloot, the primary suspect in Holloway's case, carry her body in Aruba 10 years ago.

 He was questioned, let go and later imprisoned for an unrelated murder. Holloway's body was never found.

De Jong told the Algemeen Dagblad that Holloway's remains are hidden in a crawl space at the Marriott Hotel. He said he didn't get involved in the case before now because he'd been involved in drug-related activity when he saw van der Sloot and Holloway.

De Jong has remained interested in the case from afar, the NL Times reported. In the past 10 years, he has flown to Aruba three times, testified and passed anonymous messages to investigators. A Twitter account registered under his name shows 19 tweets all about the case, and he's started circulating an online petition calling for prosecutors to look into his story.

remains are hidden in a crawl space at the Marriott Hotel
Is that why they were so protective about the Marriott?


 

The Dutch man recently began working with Dave Holloway, Natalee's father, who said he remembered smelling decay when he visited the Marriott site. Holloway arranged for de Jong to meet with Aruban authorities. The officials found his story "implausible" at the time but have since announced they're reviewing his claims, the NL Times reported. This process could take up to two months.

"I always thought the answer was right around the corner," Dave Holloway told the Huffington Post. "Here we are nearly 10 years later and we still don't know."

We know the General Manager of the Marriott Hotel has reportedly just been “promoted” to a position in Mexico City, Mexico. Is the timing just coincidental to the “disappearance” of Natalee, or is there some other reason he’s gone from Aruba?

Hi Monks and Monkettes - still reading here after all these years. Spoke with TJ a few weeks ago, we still talk periodically. Spoke before this all started up, again. He's still stuck on Jaguar the informant. He can't get past Paulus' connections to Colombia. And taking Natalee off the island. After all this time - he's still there. Can't blame him, though. She hasn't been found. Or, if she has been found, no one told us. I still wonder about Kyle Kingman's discoveries. And who doesn't.

What can Dave do but go back down there again - I feel for him and understand. He's Natalee's father - and wants to find her. Just like any other father. Must be pure torture to live without knowing. I understand his quest. And hope he has the strength he needs.

Over the last ten years - I guess there were probably 10 days when I didn't think about Natalee - even if for just a fleeting moment. I always take a moment to think about Natalee and what could have been for such a lovely young lady. So horrible to happen and to have to fight for justice. I think we all understand that crime happens - you can't be a member of a board like this and not understand that aspect - it's the fighting for justice that makes people have a replusive feeling and then fight even more. It's an inherent part of human nature to fight the wrongs.

Still holding out hope that Natalee will be found. Just can't let that part go. I'll probably never let it go because it's the injustice and corruption of it all.

The other day I was in the supermarket and heard Michael Buble's 'I Want To Go Home' and remembered that was the theme song for a Natalee blog. I hadn't heard that song in so long. Instantly took me back to thinking of Natalee.

Still waiting for you, Natalee -

Natalee Holloway Witness Comes Forward: 'I Knew She Was Dead'
5:09 PM EDT, May 12, 2015

Dave Holloway is back in Aruba exclusively with INSIDE EDITION searching for answers in the disappearance of his 18-year-old daughter, Natalee.

“What was it like for you when you got off that plane and set foot back in Aruba?” INSIDE EDITION’s Lisa Guerrero asked.

He said, “It was like, here we go again.”

 ::snipping3::

Jurrien de Jong, a citizen of the Netherlands who lives in Amsterdam, says he was one of the last people to see Natalee alive.

“I know what happened to Natalee Holloway,” he told INSIDE EDITION.

Guerrero asked, “What did you see the night Natalee Holloway went missing?”

“I saw that Joran was chasing Natalee into a small building under construction. In about 5 minutes he came out with Natalee in his arms and slammed the body of Natalee on the floor and then made an opening in a crawl space and pulled the body by the ankles inside the crawl space,” he said.

Guerrero asked, “So, you saw Joran van der Sloot slam Natalee Holloway’s body onto the ground and pull her into a crawl space?”

“Yes, by her ankles. I knew she was dead,” he replied.

 ::snipping3::

The site where the witness claims he saw all this was under construction in 2005, but is now the Marriott Surf Club, a 900 room time share resort popular with Americans.

Dave Holloway is so intrigued by the new information, he asked a private detective, TJ Ward, to accompany him to Aruba to help with the investigation and also to analyze de Jong’s voice with a technology that supposedly detects lying.

Guerrero asked Ward, “What was indicated in this program in terms of his stress level in his truthfulness?”

“He was being truthful with what he said,” Ward replied. “He was very stressed with what he said and he was embarrassed he didn't bring this forward.”

Guerrero asked, “So, you believe this witness may be credible and his story could make sense?”

“It could make sense. It could,” Dave Holloway said. “I still have my guard up because I don't want to be disappointed.”

How to check this remarkable claim? It’s long been believed her body was dumped in the ocean, but does the secret to Natalee’s disappearance lie somewhere in this beautiful oceanfront resort?

Dave Holloway sought the help of Tracy Sargent, a search and rescue expert, whose dog, “Chance,” has been trained to detect cadavers. We checked into the hotel like regular guests.

Tracy and Chance strode the grounds and pathways. They went inside stairwells and checked out the garage. Every available space open to resort guests was probed by Chance, using his amazing sense of smell.

“This dog is trained to find missing persons, specifically human remains,” Sargent said.

Even with the passage of 10 long years, to say nothing of all that concrete, Sargent says it's still possible for the dog to detect a scent.

“Were you able to find any trace of Natalee’s body?” Guerrero asked her.

“No. Not at all. Not at this point. We certainly can't rule it out,” she replied.

The new witness believes Natalee could be buried on grounds that are inaccessible to guests. Possibly beneath the laundry facility, a mechanical room near the elevator shaft or perhaps where the garbage is stored.

Guerrero asked de Jong, “People may say you are looking for attention and you are giving false hope to the family, what is your response? Are you lying?”

“If I was making this up, it would be the work of a man who was insane I don't consider myself insane,” he replied.

Guerrero then asked David Holloway, “So you’re not going to give up on this lead yet?

“No. Not at all,” He replied.

“Will you ever give up looking for Natalee?” Guerrero asked.

“No. As long as there is a chance that I’ll find her, I’ll keep looking,” said the heartbroken father.

The prosecutor in Aruba is now reopening the Holloway investigation based on de Jong's statements. He says it could be a couple of months before he reveals his findings.

Joran van der Sloot maintains his innocence in the case.

- so good to see you!   As long as there is even a slight possibility that Natalee will be found, this Natalee forum will remain open!  As long as the forum is still here anyway and I don't think Red has plans to shut it down or anything  ::MonkeyCool::

Nice to see so many of the gang, shout out to Whyegirl, AZ Sunny, Ono. You too Rob, Kermit, TX Mom & Blonde and all.

The forum is open and looking for Justice for Natalee.

With the 10 year anniversary coming up of Natalee's disappearance, I have been reflecting on all that has gone on from the past from the beginning of this case, to the searches in Aruba, to the travesties of justice and everything. The time spent searching for Natalee on the Aruba dump was an experience that will most likely never be forgotten. It is actually hard to forget seeing that i received permanent scares, both physical and emotional, digging side by side with Dave.  I had always said when we were down there that I so wished we could find Natalee so to ease a Dave and Beth's pain, then there was that other side of me that was never prepared for if we did find her if I could deal with a dad finding his daughter in such a place. It was all such a surreal, emotional situation.

I think back on so many things that took place down there and how they came about, most of you would never believe me if I told you. How some of the things came about in Aruba, the help, calls and perseverance of Monkeys who did some things that let's skirted the boundaries to get things done. Teaming up with Tim Miller and the good people of TES.

Some of our accesses to properties and searches were accomplished by Monkeys taking some liberties and getting us some introductions in some inventive ways. That is how TES got on the VDS neighbors property. There are 1000's of stories like that of faking out the MSM and sending them on a wild goose chase as the main search teams went to the prime locations to search. Knowing the landscape and back routes in Aruba helped.

Over the years I can just say thank you to all of the Monkeys for your never ending support for Natalee and her family and in turn the family of so many other missing persons. Klaas is at the top of that list.

It is quite amazing to think that within the 10 years since Natalee's disappearance that Joran Van der Sloot would find himself in prison with the murder of another young girl in Peru. Aruba has her blood on their hands for not doing the right thing when it came to Joran.

They will forever have blood on their hands in my opinion.

Great to see so many of the gang! I have to agree with Rob about being wary of Greta, but at least she keeps the case out in the public eye. I also share the same sentiments on Kyle Kingman. If I recall, he named his little girl after Natalee - it's certainly about time he came forward and shared his honest thoughts.

I so want Dave and Beth to find and take Natalee home but for the life of me I honestly believe that that was her in that cage and what was there was removed by Aruba to never be seen again.  

IF (and that's a big IF) she was in a crawlspace then the authorities in Aruba removed her to that cage.  They would never take the chance any trace of Natalee would be found.  They don't want that hanging over their "Happy little island".

Joran: “Then she started shaking like crazy... The beach was empty, I walked to her, no reaction, she just kept shaking, NO foam around her mouth”
Joran: “I picked Nat up and put her near the mangrove trees at the mariott. “

 ::snipping3::

Joran: “I started thinking, no one know I even left the house. But I knew this guy I "had" something on, so I phoned him.

Joran: she is in the ocean.

Patrick: how did you know she died?

Joran: I just knew

P: did you try CPR?

Joran: I tried everything, I pulled her up

P: how did you know if she was dead? wasn't she in a coma?

J: I didnt know.

J; no, but it didn't look good...

Joran could have left a dead or dying Natalee at the Marriott.  When he tells his father, Paulus arranges to have her body disposed of at sea, possibly in the cage/trap.  Plausible IMO.

Wake up!!  Where's the section where everyone is talking about that criminal finally admitting that he saw that murderer chasing Natalee into that construction site and then carrying out her dead body?  It seems to me that site and the scenario that she was taken there was discussed early on in this forum, but the corrupt Aruban officials didn't follow-up on it.  I know y'all must be discussing this some place in here.

Hello, Katie! I've spent many wonderful nights on a keyboard, in Seattle, chatting with BillB and other monkeys for years. I've often thought about your father and how he is doing, along with all the other monkeys. My heart breaks knowing your dad passed, but I'm blessed to have got to know him, even if it was through a keyboard. Your dad is flying  ::MonkeyAngel:: with a freebird, as we speak. Laying here beside my wife, about to start crying because me, Wreck, Rob, and Billb were going to take Urine and the Leprechauns on a trip down the Cahulawassee river and   dump them off with the natives so they could squeal like a pig....

EXCLUSIVE: Joran van der Sloot dismisses new witness: 'He is playing with [family's] pain'
Published May 13, 2015/

Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba, is dismissing an account recently brought up by a self-proclaimed witness.

“Joran knows him,” his lawyer in Perú, Maximo Altez, told Fox News Latino. “Joran tells me this man is someone who sold drugs in Aruba to all of his friends.” 

Altez said Van der Sloot urges Natalee Holloway parents to disregard de Jong’s account.

“He is playing with their pain,” he said. “Joran is not worried [by de Jong's story], he advises them to look into his background.”
 ::snipping3::
Van der Sloot said through his lawyer he is not concerned by the new development.

“Joran says everything that man says is a lie,” Altez told FNL. “This is nothing new, and all this man wants is money.”

Van der Sloot told his lawyer de Jong was a well-known provider of marijuana and cocaine in that part of the island. “He sold drugs to Joran and all his friends,” Altez said.

Back in 2005, Altez said, De Jong came to his client and told him he had seen him bury Natalie. He threatened to go to police unless Van der Sloot gave him money.

“Joran always laughed at him,” the lawyer said. “Joran never gave him anything, he always took it as a joke.”

Joran could have left a dead or dying Natalee at the Marriott.  When he tells his father, Paulus arranges to have her body disposed of at sea, possibly in the cage/trap.  Plausible IMO.

Which imo, only gives some credence to the story! 

Joran was never worried about it and acted like it was a joke, because he knew she wasn't there anymore?

Sleuth searches in vain for Natalee Holloway

Quote
The public prosecutor on the island is not involved in the search for Natalee Dave. A spokesman tells RTL Boulevard that she had to find out through the media that he is on the island. The authorities in Aruba are well aware of Jurriëns statement, but they do nothing with it. Chief Prosecutor Eric Olthof is is still to deepen in the file following the tip of Jurriën. Then he will decide whether there will again be sought by justice for the remains of US.

What I do know is that there is blue fabric found on the 7th of Jand a piece of blue tarp. This is reluctantly confirmed by Richardson and Mos.

The fabric(s?) are not visible on either the Dec 29th or 30th dives. There is about an inch of sand over the fabrics. The fabrics are completely covered. The diver sampled the sand and found the fabric underneath the sand. He then bagged the blue fabric. If the other bag contains fabric, it was also in the sand. There was also something possibly recovered from far inside the trap. In the video the diver is inside the trap with just below his knees showing. I don't know what was sampled far inside the trap if anything.

I would surmise, a dead body would be much easier to transport, once placed in the cage.

 ::rhino::

Agreed!!!

It makes complete sense that a murder would have taken place there and he hid her there only to have Papa Sloot get rid of the evidence and bring Natalee out to sea to that no one could find her. Obviously Papa Sloot to cover up the crime was never going to keep the body in a place where she could be discovered.

I think that is what many of us have thought for years and it indicates the involvement of a thinking adult looking to cleanse a crime scene versus of a teenage killer. Remember, JVDS just left Stephany Flores' body in the room in Peru, no attempt to cover up the crime. What was missing that time during that murder? Why Papa Sloot and his connection on Aruba to cover up the crime.

Justice-orgies and blackmail on the West Indies
Micha Kat Micha Kat     26 juni 2008 June 26, 2008


Met het bekend worden van het pedofielen-netwerk rond topmensen uit de wereld van justitie en politiek komt een wereld in beeld van sex, corruptie, fraude en chantage waarvoor we HEEL VER TERUG moeten in de geschiedenis om iets vergelijkbaars aan te treffen. With public disclosure of the paedophile network leaders from around the world of justice and politics is a world in images of sex, corruption, fraud and blackmail which we VERY FAR BACK in history to have something comparable to be found. Hans Holthuis, Joost Tonino, Joris Demmink en Paulus van der Sloot: ze horen allemaal bij dezelfde club van justitiele perverts die op kosten van de belastingbetaler onze rechtsstaat om zeep hebben geholpen. Hans Holthuis, Joost Tonino, Joris Demmink and Paulus van der Sloot: they all belong to the same club of judicial pervert who at the expense of the taxpayer to kill our rule of law have helped. Deze aflevering neemt ons niet mee naar de flat van 'pedo-professor' Ger van Roon in Amsterdam-Noord, maar naar de tuin van de familie Van der Der Sloot op Aruba... This episode takes us back to the flat of "pedo-professor Ger van Roon in Amsterdam-North, but to the garden of the family of Van Der Sloot in Aruba ...
SABOTAGE KLOKKENLUIDERONLINE??? SABOTAGE KLOKKENLUIDERONLINE??

Dit stuk is op HVV geplaatst omdat de website klokkenluideronline waarvoor het was bestemd waarschijnlijk wordt gesaboteerd. This piece is placed on HVV because the website klokkenluideronline which it was intended is probably sabotaged. Naar de oorzaken van de reeks van storingen wordt thans onderzoek gedaan. To the causes of the series of failures is now investigated.

Het Nederlands justitieel apparaat wordt op enorme schaal gechanteerd met pornografisch materiaal over officieren van justitie en rechters. The Dutch judiciary is on a colossal scale extortion with pornographic material on prosecutors and judges. Aan die conclusie valt niet meer te ontkomen. That conclusion is no longer escape. Mensen als Eddy de Kroes -hij werd drie keer veroordeeld tot een langdurige gevangenisstraf- wisten uit de cel te blijven door topmensen van justitie te confronteren met beeldmateriaal waarop ze in hoogst compromitterende standjes te zien zijn. People like Eddy Kroes-the three times he was sentenced to a lengthy prison-knew from the cell to abide by leaders of Justice to confront with imagery in which they highly compromising stands to be seen. In het geval van de Kroes betrof de chantage Hans Holthuis die het OM met de staart tussen de benen heeft moeten verlaten. In the case of the Kroes was the blackmail Hans Holthuis that the PPS with the tail between his legs had to leave. Holthuis behoorde tot het 'Demmink-netwerk' van pedofiele 'topmensen'. Holthuis belonged to the 'Demmink network' of paedophile 'senior'. Maar ook officieren als Jan Wolter Wabeke (door Bram Peper) en Joost Tonino (topmensen uit het bedrijfsleven komen in beeld zoals Cor Boonstra) lijken het slachtoffer te zijn geworden van dergelijke chantage-praktijken. But officers as Jan Wolter Wabeke (by Bram Peper) and Joost Tonino (from business leaders come into view as Cor Boonstra) seem to have become the victim of blackmail such practices. Een belangrijke aanwijzing hiervoor is dat 'grote zaken' van deze officieren uitdraaiden op (peperdure) mislukkingen terwijl voor iedereen tegelijkertijd ook duidelijk zichtbaar was dat de verdachten guilty waren as hell . An important indication is that 'big business' of these officers uitdraaiden (very expensive) failures while for everyone while also clearly visible was that the defendants were guilty as hell. Maar die chantage kan ook de andere kant op werken en er juist voor zorgen dat onschuldige mensen worden veroordeeld, zoals het geval was bij de Koerdische zakenman Baybasin die levenslang moest slikken omdat Justitie-topman Joris Demmink werd gechanteerd met openbaarmaking van zijn pedo-files als Baybasin niet achter de tralies zou verdwijnen. But that blackmail may also work on the other side and want to ensure that innocent people are convicted, as was the case with the Kurdish Baybasin businessman who had to swallow because lifelong Justice chief executive Joris Demmink was blackmailed with disclosure of his pedo-files as Baybasin not behind bars would disappear. De complete Nederlandse rechtsstaat is inmiddels ontwricht door al die magistraten die hun penis-nijd maar niet weten te beperken tot de echtelijke sponde of desnoods tot een bordeel van standing. The entire Dutch law has been disrupted by all those magistrates that their penis-envy but do not know to be limited to the marital sponde or pinch of standing up to a brothel. Nee, het moet allemaal veel smeriger, in plantsoenen, op achterbanken van dienstauto's, bij sinistere en illegale orgieen met geimporteerde minderarigen. No, it needs much smeriger, in gardens, front and back of official cars, with sinister and illegal orgies with imported minderarigen. Anders krijgen we 'm toch echt niet meer overeind onder onze toga's. Otherwise, we get 'm really no longer prevails among our toga.

Dit alles gezegd zijnde, durven we hier ook best de stelling aan dat Joran van der Sloot nog altijd op vrije voeten is omdat zijn vader Paulus zoveel dirty shit in file heeft over Nederlandse magistraten op de Antillen dat daarmee minimaal drie parlementaire enquetes gevuld zouden kunnen worden. Having said all that, dare we are also the best argument that Joran van der Sloot remains at liberty is because his father Paul so much dirty shit in file about the Dutch Antilles to magistrates that they at least three parliamentary inquiries could be filled . Uit algemeen toegankelijke bronnen komt al zoveel smerigheid naar boven, dat we met gemak kunnen stellen dat het op de Antillen een continue orgie is van copulerende en ejaculerende magistraten die uit verveling en verdorvenheid niet meer weten waar ze hun leuter nu weer moeten instoppen. From publicly available sources is already so much filth to top that we can easily say that the West Indies on a continuous orgy of copulerende and ejaculerende magistrates from boredom and depravity not know where they leuter now must instoppen. Wat te denken van de aan lager wal geraakte crimineel Cor Merx , tot 2005 de topman van het OM op de Antillen, die ten onder ging in een tsunami van corruptie, fraude en sex? Lees hier de (bijna) complete Merx-files waarbij de lezer zich moet beseffen dat het OM -ja, we zijn goed voor onze mensen!- deze Merx nadat hij op de Antillen was uit-geejaculeerd zelfs nog heeft benoemd tot advocaat-generaal te Den Haag. What about the lower shore to hit criminal Cor Merx, until 2005 the CEO of the PPS in the Antilles, which went under in a tsunami of corruption, fraud and sex? Read the (nearly) complete files with the Merx reader must realize that the OM yes, we are good for our people! - this Merx after they entered the West Indies was off geejaculeerd even has appointed attorney-general to The Hague. Is het geen bekend gegeven dat ondergeschikten het gedrag van hun baas nadoen? Is it not a truism that subordinates the behavior of their boss copy? Nou, dan weten we direct wat de gemiddelde Antilliaanse OM'mer als eerste daad van de dag ging doen na het openen van de reeds vermoeide ogen en die daad berof niet het nog eens doornemen van de dossiers van de lopende zaken. Well, we know immediately what the average Antillean OM'mer as the first act of the day was done after the opening of the already tired eyes and act berof not again go through the files of current affairs. Dan zijn daar de -tot dusver nog niet uitgegeven- gedetailleerde beschrijvingen van het hoeren en sloeren door de officier van justitie Ernst Wesselius die in naam der koningin is gestationeerd op Bonaire en lange tijd zelfs verslag deed van zijn ¡interessante belevenissen¢ op de eilanden in het huisblad van het OM. Then there are the not-yet-issued detailed descriptions of the whores and sloeren by the Public Prosecutor Ernst Wesselius acting in the name of the queen is stationed on Bonaire and long time even reported on his interesting experiences "on the islands the door of the PPS. Ook gechanteerd, dat is voor de ingewijde lezer van de link reeds direct duidelijk. Also extortion, which has been initiated for the reader of the direct link already clear. Dan verdient ook nog te worden genoemd de grootste crimineel uit de geschiedenis van het Nederlandse OM, Frans Pommer , billenmaat van Merx op het parket te Maastricht tot 2000 toen beiden op de Antillen onder de palmbomen gingen liggen relaxen. It also deserves to be called the biggest criminal in the history of the Dutch OM, French Pommer, billenmaat of Merx at the public prosecutor in Maastricht until 2000 when both the West Indies under the palm trees went lie relax. De grond was Pommer in Nederland een beetje heet onder de voeten geworden nadat was gebleken dat hij als officier in een grote drugszaak maar liefst acht observatie-bevelen had vervalst . The ground was Pommer Netherlands in a little hot under the feet become after it was revealed that he as an officer in a major drug issues no less than eight observation orders had falsified. Voor een gewoon burger reden opgeknoopt de worden, maar binnen het OM worden dergelijke vormen van corruptie beloond met een ticktet naar Willemstad. For an ordinary citizen opgeknoopt the reason, but within the OM, such forms of corruption are rewarded with a ticktet to Willemstad. Op de eilanden raakte Pommer die vrijwel geheel uit de media is weten te blijven dermate verstrikt in het bekende web van fraude, sex chantage en corruptie dat het OM niets anders restte dan hem maar weer terug te halen naar Nederland waar hij thans verbonden is aan het parket te Roermond. On the islands became Pommer almost entirely from the media has managed to remain so entangled in the web of known fraud, blackmail, sex and corruption that for nothing else than him but left again to get back to the Netherlands where he is currently connected to the Prosecutor in Roermond.

Goed, in dit gezellige klimaat van geven en nemen was ene Paulus van der Sloot , trotse vader van de ambitieuze Joran, rechter-in-opleiding. Need we say more ? Well, in this cosy atmosphere of give and take was one Paulus van der Sloot, proud father of the ambitious Joran, judge-in-training. Need we say more? Paulus is nog altijd een verdachte in de zaak-Holloway maar erger is nog dat er nooit echt onderzoek is gedaan naar het leven en werk van Paulus op de eilanden. Paul is still a suspect in the Holloway case but worse still is that there never really been done to research the life and work of Paul on the islands. We vermoeden daarom dat Paulus door Justitie op Aruba was gestationeerd als een soort maitre de plaisir zoals we die kennen uit de tijden van het Romeinse keizerrijk en Lodewijk XIV te Versailles met als taak het organiseren van interessante juridische lezingen en jurisprudentie-avondjes. We suspect that by Justice Paul was stationed in Aruba as a sort of maitre de plaisir as we know from the times of the Roman Empire and Louis XIV at Versailles with the task of organising lectures and interesting legal jurisprudence evenings. Met andere woorden: Paulus weet als geen ander welke magistraat zijn leuter op welke dag en in welke strandstoel in welk minderjarig schandknaapje heeft gestoken en hij deinst er als goede vader niet voor terug deze kennis in te zetten ter bescherming van zoonlief. In other words, Paul knows like no other magistrate which are leuter on what day and what a beach chair in which minor schandknaapje and he has put deinst there is not as good father to back this knowledge to be deployed to protect zoonlief. Hiermee lijkt de macabere cirkel van ultieme verdorvenheid helemaal rond: het OM wordt zelfs gechanteerd door de eigen rechterlijke macht ! It seems the ultimate depravity of macabre circle around: the OM is even blackmailed by their own judiciary! Laten we binnenkort eens wat nader gaan kijken naar die andere mysterieuze justitie-figuur over wie eigenlijk nauwelijks iets bekend is: Ernst Hirsch Ballin, minister van justitie. Let us soon agree what further look at those other mysterious justice-figure about whom very little is known fact: Ernst Hirsch Ballin, Minister of Justice.

Joran is on the beach with Natalee like he said.
He takes off his shoes.
He thinks she is dead.
He calls his dad.
Dad comes over.
They wrap her body in a blue tarp.

Dad has a guy who has a boat to do him a favor.
While dad goes home and wipes his computer clean.
The guy places Natalee in a cage. And puts rocks on the tarp
to hold it down and he throws the tennis shoe inside the cage
probably as a weight too.
Thus, we see the tennis shoe inside the cage.



VAN DER SLOOT: We walked onto the — on the beach in the beginning, and where we sat down there, then, I had taken off my shoes. And because, when you walk in, it was the exact same shoes that I'm wearing now.

VAN DER SLOOT: The same size, too. And — no, and so when I was on the beach, I had taken them off there, not to get sand into them. And that's where — you know, where we — were we started walking the other way. I always thought we'd go back, and that's where I'd left my shoes. And then the point in the car when we said, You know, we're going to leave, then, yes, we just left and I didn't really care about my shoes anymore.

It was reported that “in one of his many statements” Prime Murder Suspect JORAN VAN DER SLOOT “said he might have lost the shoes the night Natalee disappeared.”

Just got home from work.  Got an email from Mere asking if I still had this cartoon.  Reminder that this cartoon was published on June 7, 2005 by a Canadian cartoonist.

(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a306/klaasend/cartoonnatalee_zps7uxnvv9b.jpg)



In my view, I always thought that the " angel message bearer" was drawn to resemble Joran's mother and it was as though the cartoonist was sending a subtle opinion as who knew what happened.


The picture describes a plan (3 days til, shallow grave dug, arrow pointing into the glass like something was planned to be put in it) but the odd thing is the witnesses in the background.

I have always felt that there are so many purposely drawn so-called " clues " ...  [ or what could be interpreted as such ] within this cartoon, that perhaps the motive for this drawing was to actually throw sincere truth seekers off.  The trick is to determine what is fact and what could be a deliberate mental detour.  This whole case seems to be one of world class mental trickery, in my view. The mind games have been excruciating from the beginning.

Natalee Holloway Special -- this Saturday at 10pm Fox News Channel (if you can't watch live, please DVR.)

No, I don't give up ...at least not easily. I am still working the Natalee Holloway investigation. I want answers. I want to get them for her parents. I got into this so deep that I figure I owe it to her parents to at least keep trying to get those answers.

It has been 10 years since this then high school teen vanished in Aruba. I have traveled the world to try to get answers and interviewed dozens and dozens of people - not all interviews have made air.

Over the years I have traveled to Aruba multiple times, to Thailand for a weekend, to a prison in Peru - all chasing down Joran van der Sloot. He has talked to me many times but always trying to play me. He has no conscience. At one time I was told there were two arrest warrants for me in Aruba (that was bizarre!) because the Arubans were unhappy with me.

And I even returned to Aruba a few weekends ago with Beth Holloway. Yes, I am still working this case.

This Saturday is a SPECIAL - 10pm - on the Natalee Holloway investigation.

Hello, I'm Katie, Billb's daughter. As you may know, my dad passed away but he was always talking Natalie to me and my sisters and the evil of Aruba and Joran. I hope that this latest revelation about Natalie's whereabouts brings solid recovery so Beth and Dave have closure. Still monitor scared monkeys on my dads wishes.....Monkeys support of Natalie, Beth and Dave, and each other, are awesome!
 

Hello, Katie! I've spent many wonderful nights on a keyboard, in Seattle, chatting with BillB and other monkeys for years. I've often thought about your father and how he is doing, along with all the other monkeys. My heart breaks knowing your dad passed, but I'm blessed to have got to know him, even if it was through a keyboard. Your dad is flying  ::MonkeyAngel:: with a freebird, as we speak. Laying here beside my wife, about to start crying because me, Wreck, Rob, and Billb were going to take Urine and the Leprechauns on a trip down the Cahulawassee river and   dump them off with the natives so they could squeal like a pig....

Thank you Keepthefaith,
At times, our family thought dad was too obsessed with Natalie and scared monkeys..he poured so much time trying to rationalize to us his time on the computer. Over time, I finally got it that he was consumed with getting justice for Natalie and had a connection with like minded people on scared monkeys....my dad treasured the time he spent here......

Hi Katie,

You are like having billb back with us because we remember him dearly.
I think he was the one that use to stack posts or something and as KTF said
he and wreck too were going on a boat trip together down some river. Good times.

In every lie there is some truth.
If Kyle Kingman had not caught the ROV footage and taken the photos, we never would know.
So, for that, we can thank him. Youth is probably what held him hostage to that truth.


GIVE NATALEE BACK TO AMERICA!
We know what Aruba did.
We know the lies.
and stupid egg-heads it is still costing you big bucks in tourist dollars.....

VAN DER SLOOT: We walked onto the — on the beach in the beginning, and where we sat down there, then, I had taken off my shoes. And because, when you walk in, it was the exact same shoes that I'm wearing now.

VAN DER SLOOT: The same size, too. And — no, and so when I was on the beach, I had taken them off there, not to get sand into them. And that's where — you know, where we — were we started walking the other way. I always thought we'd go back, and that's where I'd left my shoes. And then the point in the car when we said, You know, we're going to leave, then, yes, we just left and I didn't really care about my shoes anymore.

ON AUGUST 1, THE ARUBA GOVERNMENT MADE  PLEA TO THE PUBLIC TO LOOK FOR A PAIR OF TENNIS SNEAKERS, K-SWISS BRAND,  SIZE 14
   
On 8-1 the ARUBA government made a plea to the public to look for a pair of tennis sneakers owned by Prime Murder Suspect JORAN VAN DER SLOOT. The pair of tennis sneakers are the “K-Swiss” brand, size 14, they are predominantly white with some blue trim. It was reported that “in one of his many statements” Prime Murder Suspect JORAN VAN DER SLOOT “said he might have lost the shoes the night Natalee disappeared.”

ON JULY 28, JOSSY  TALKS ABOUT HOW JURAN LOST ONE SHOE
 
MANSUR: Well, that`s a fact that`s been going around for quite some time now, that he was barefoot when he walked back home and that he lost his shoe somewhere either on the beach or over here at the pond
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0507/28/ng.01.html

He lost a shoe and it was at the bottom of the ocean inside the cage where he (Paulus) had someone dispose of Natalee's body.

SHOE INSIDE CAGE


Katie here again..
My Dad told me early on that initial statements are key to facts. Time goes on and as time goes on, spin is BS. Seems Kermit nailed it! My Dad always believed Natalie was killed on the beach by Joran and Paulus disposed of her body at sea. Kyle and John will have to take up their roles with God on Judgement Day... Dad always believed Natalie was in the cage....


(http://oi62.tinypic.com/wh1l05.jpg)

Hi Katie,

You are like having billb back with us because we remember him dearly.
I think he was the one that use to stack posts or something and as KTF said
he and wreck too were going on a boat trip together down some river. Good times.

In every lie there is some truth.
If Kyle Kingman had not caught the ROV footage and taken the photos, we never would know.
So, for that, we can thank him. Youth is probably what held him hostage to that truth.


GIVE NATALEE BACK TO AMERICA!
We know what Aruba did.
We know the lies.
and stupid egg-heads it is still costing you big bucks in tourist dollars.....


Aruba is a cesspool that is the poster child for all countries that allow politicians to cover up crimes and sway the narrative  regardless of the facts.
Facts: Joran killed Natalee
Kalpoe brothers were directly involved in Natalee's death
Paulus disposed of Natalee
Anita is an asshole
all Aruba officials that covered up will have a discussion with God
John and Kyle will have that same discussion with God
All my Dad every wanted was closure for Natalee, Beth and Dave....in his mind, that means bringing Natalee home.

Greta Investigates 10 Years of Twists & Turns in the Natalee Holloway Case

May 15, 2015

by Fox News Insider

It has been a full decade now since 18-year-old Natalee Holloway disappeared, and the mystery has captivated the nation ever since.

The Alabama native was on a five-day high school graduation trip to Aruba with more than 100 students and seven chaperones from Mountain Brook High School.

 ::snipping3::

Greta returned to the island with Holloway's mother to investigate the bizarre twists and countless lies that have plagued the case from the start.

You'll also learn about how the teen’s suspected killer, Joran van der Sloot, was almost caught in an FBI sting operation, but instead slipped out of Aruba and fled to Peru.

Tune in Saturday at 10p/1a ET for the Fox News special, "Greta Investigates: The Natalee Holloway Mystery, 10 Years Later."

Watch the opening of the show above.

Check out some of the facts and figures of the case below:

- Eleven people have been arrested or detained a total of 14 times in connection with Holloway’s disappearance.

- Van der Sloot has been arrested twice in the Alabama teen’s case, yet he has never been charged in connection with her disappearance.

- A 2009 Lifetime movie about Holloway drew 3.2 million viewers when it premiered and was the network’s highest-rated film.

- On May 11, 2009, as the fourth anniversary of Holloway's disappearance approached, her case was added to the cold case file at the National Museum of Crime and Punishment in Washington, D.C.

- In November 2010, a jaw bone washed up on a beach in Aruba, but a DNA test confirmed it did not belong to Holloway.

- Van der Sloot is currently imprisoned for the 2010 murder of Stephany Flores Ramirez, who was killed exactly five years after Holloway was last seen.

- Van der Sloot, who was sentenced to 28 years, is eligible for parole in 2019. When he is released, he will be extradited to the U.S. on charges that he defrauded and extorted money from Beth Holloway.

- Natalee Holloway, who went missing in 2005, would have turned 29 next October. She was declared legally dead in January 2012.

This is a blogtalk radio show from a couple days ago, and haven't listened to it all yet, but thought others might be interested.

Robin Sax mentions SM sleuthers, Dana, and Red, in some of the early comments.

(I don't really care for the host so far, and he obviously hasn't followed Natalee's case very closely since he doesn't even have the correct date of her disappearance.)

Thanks to Robin Sax for the shout out and remembering who was there in the beginning and at the forefront of the Natalee Holloway missing persons case. I have to admit, this is a tough listen. Robin and Stacy did a nice job and the funny part was there is a part in this interview where they take over and keep talking and following up each other.

 It should make everyone say thank you and give Dana Pretzer big time kudos for the work he does on the radio. Dana has the facts, the dates, the personality, the where with all to know what to ask and how to say it and he'd got the pipes.

What was up with the intro's like it was announcing players at a basketball team? YIKES!!!  ::MonkeyEek::

Robin made a great point and she is 100% correct ... this was the first social media case and it was long before Facebook.

This case put web sleuthing and the Internet as a media tool on the map. I can't begin to tell you the number of shows that contacted SM and wanted to use us as background material, of course not giving us credit because their bosses would have gone mental that they got their news and sources from the web. Remember, 10 years ago the MSM did not really have a web presence and it was not at all interactive like it is today.

I have so many stories like this that would just astound people as to how it happened. A major news organization that will go unnamed once contacted us as to how in the hell we were beating them to the story with all the resources and $'s they had in play.

many stories to follow because in the end, we sadly never found Natalee, but what came of it was a new way to investigate, cover and provide law enforcement and families with new tools.

Joran van der Sloot Dismisses New Witness Jurrien De Jong’s Account that JVDS Killed Natalee Holloway … Says ‘He is Playing with Family’s Pain’

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2015/05/16/joran-van-der-sloot-dismisses-new-witness-jurrien-de-jongs-account-that-jvds-killed-natalee-holloway-says-he-is-playing-with-familys-pain/

(http://scaredmonkeys.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Joran-Van-der-Sloot.jpg)

OH THE IRONY, TALK ABOUT THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK …

Quote
A new witness has come forward after all this time in the case of the death and disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba. Witness Jurrien De Jong says, “I saw Natalee Holloway on the last night that she was alive. I was the eyewitness.”  De Jong further went on to say, “I saw that Joran was chasing Natalee into a small building under construction. In about five minutes he came out with Natalee in his arms, and slammed the body of Natalee on the floor, and then he made an opening in a crawl space … I knew she was dead.”   In response to these allegations, Joran Van der Sloot, the number one suspect in the death and disappearance of Natalee Holloway, makes the following claim … the Holloway family to regards de Jong’s account of what happened to Natalee and says that “he [De Jong] is only playing with the family’s pain.”  You don’t say, because Joran Van der Sloot would know all about cause the Holloway family pain. Natalee Holloway went missing on May 30, 2005 in Aruba and since then Joran Van der Sloot has done nothing but cause the Holloway family pain and especially Beth, Natalee’s mom. Joran has confessed multiple times to the crime and has never been tried for the crime, let alone convicted and found guilty.

How many times has this little punk lied and cause pain to the Natalee Holloway family? How ironic that he would claim that some one else is doing the same. Because of course, Joran Van der Sloot only has Natalee’s family at heart.
::snipping3::

Quote
From prison in Peru, Joran Van der Sloot brushed off the latest allegation from Jurrien De Jong and called him a liar. Joran also said that he is only coming forward for the money. Hmm, Joran should know something about this. The once “little Sporter,” now convicted killer, has been charged in Alabama with extortion in connection with the Natalee Holloway case. Once Van der Sloot has served his 28 year sentence in Peru in the murder of Stephany Flores, Peru’s Supreme Court has okayed Joran Van der Sloot’s extradition to the United States to face extortion charges in connection with the death of Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005.

Yes it was.

I remember driving Beth back to Alabama from Florida, we were both taking part in one of the searches for Caylee Anthony in FLA. This was not the MB home you see in tonight's Greta special, but the one she lived in after that. I went to her home and saw all the items that were Natalee's, the pics and just broke down. I told her I was so sorry and I felt like I had failed her in not finding Natalee. Being down there in Aruba and going thru that living hell of searching for her, especially in the landfill, was something that changes a person forever.

I meet and know Beth is to love her. She is such a strong person and understood that so many cared and stopped their lives for her and her family to find Natalee. There was never a time whenever I saw or talked to Beth that she didn't ask about the Monkeys. Beth is a special kind of person.

I thought it was absolutely excellent-so good to see her two friends, Claire Fierman and Mollie Tucker; Beth looks so good-her attitude is so inspiring; I need to purchase that book Portrait of a Monster, by Cole Thompson and Lisa Pulitzer as in their interview quips they sounded very in tune with the facts and have Joran's diabolical persona down pat. And..... John Q. Kelly is still gorgeous ...and nice.

Hello, all family Monkeys!

IBE, I am not quite sure if I have ever done anything like that before or since. Looking back on it, we probably should have used a little more thought. But it had to be done. There was a part of me that thought she was there, then another that said, if she was there the Aruba LE probably would not let us search it. In the coming days I am going to post some pics from the landfill search that I thought had been lost. Never seen before.

I am not sure which was worse the smell, the ammonia and sulfur burn-off or the medical waste we came across. It was like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack.

But, what made SM not just another blog or forum or media outlet covering the story is that we were down in the trenches getting down and dirty searching for Natalee. Trust me, much of the MSM in Aruba hit happy hour when we were still searching or planning for the next search or trying to wash the ick off.

I thank the Monkeys for all of you support and the support you gave Beth, Dave and so many other families.

Until tonight I didn't make the connection between Joran's extortion and the gambling trip to Peru. In a way, Beth's money was well spent. It got him into a mountaintop jail worse than anything Alabama will provide. Well worth it at twice the price. (Except for the price to Stephanie's family of course.)

I thought it was absolutely excellent-so good to see her two friends, Claire Fierman and Mollie Tucker; Beth looks so good-her attitude is so inspiring; I need to purchase that book Portrait of a Monster, by Cole Thompson and Lisa Pulitzer as in their interview quips they sounded very in tune with the facts and have Joran's diabolical persona down pat. And..... John Q. Kelly is still gorgeous ...and nice.

Honestly, Beth is one of the strongest individuals I have ever me. That is not to say I have not seen times of her pain. Over the years we have had opportunities to talk about so many things. She is such a nice person.

She is an amazing person. She is an inspiration and the people that talk ill of her have no idea. As Beth says, she is the mom that no one wants to be. But mark my words, she is the woman that so many woman and men for that matter wish they could be like. Especially in time of a crisis.

It was a little aery to see Joran sitting at the casino table in Peru in 2010 looking pretty much identical to him sitting at the casino table in Aruba in 2005. Imagine if Aruba actually had just enforced their own laws and did not allow underage individuals, especially those from Aruba, in the casino, they would never have met.

When my family first started going to Aruba in the 70's and into the 80's and 90's Aruba was more strict on age and they set limits on the number of times a native could go to a casino. They didn't want their citizens to lose all their $'s to the casinos.

It is no coincidence that the deaths of Natalee and Stephany happened on the same day, five years apart. I am in the process of working on a piece called ' A Tale of Two Murders'.

He was such a smug smart a-- ... Fancied himself a real stud muffin ... in my view, when Natalee rejected him, he went ballistic and lost it - it seems so very simple and clear.  Then the coverup began, and oh how it ballooned and mushroomed. So cold and so cruel. So vicious.

This is a blogtalk radio show from a couple days ago, and haven't listened to it all yet, but thought others might be interested.

Robin Sax mentions SM sleuthers, Dana, and Red, in some of the early comments.

(I don't really care for the host so far, and he obviously hasn't followed Natalee's case very closely since he doesn't even have the correct date of her disappearance.)

Robin Sax & Stacey Honowitz talk Natalee Holloway 10 years Later on KJR!!!

Published on May 15, 2015
Stacey & Robin & King Discuss 10 years Later a case that Amazed The US & Aruba The Story of Natalee Holloway who went missing 10 years ago on May 25 2005


http://www.youtube.com/v/lGqD5E1RE5w

Thanks to Robin Sax for the shout out and remembering who was there in the beginning and at the forefront of the Natalee Holloway missing persons case. I have to admit, this is a tough listen. Robin and Stacy did a nice job and the funny part was there is a part in this interview where they take over and keep talking and following up each other.

 It should make everyone say thank you and give Dana Pretzer big time kudos for the work he does on the radio. Dana has the facts, the dates, the personality, the where with all to know what to ask and how to say it and he'd got the pipes.

What was up with the intro's like it was announcing players at a basketball team? YIKES!!!  ::MonkeyEek::

Robin made a great point and she is 100% correct ... this was the first social media case and it was long before Facebook.

This case put web sleuthing and the Internet as a media tool on the map. I can't begin to tell you the number of shows that contacted SM and wanted to use us as background material, of course not giving us credit because their bosses would have gone mental that they got their news and sources from the web. Remember, 10 years ago the MSM did not really have a web presence and it was not at all interactive like it is today.

I have so many stories like this that would just astound people as to how it happened. A major news organization that will go unnamed once contacted us as to how in the hell we were beating them to the story with all the resources and $'s they had in play.

many stories to follow because in the end, we sadly never found Natalee, but what came of it was a new way to investigate, cover and provide law enforcement and families with new tools.

 ::rhino:: 

YES, a huge shoutout to Dana Pretzer for being totally awesome!   ::MonkeyCool::

I sat here shaking my head and saying OMG what's he doing on radio...listening to this guy.   ::MonkeyShocked:: ::MonkeyHaHa::

At least he was able to get some really good guests.  And it was worth the listen, nice remembering the early days of this investigation here in the Scared Monkeys Forum; and all the years of going over ever detail trying to find Natalee and get justice for her.

Missed the first one, so I'm waiting on the second run of Greta's show in a little over an hour, from what I'm reading...no Renfro?  That's a relief!   ::MonkeyCool::

Thanks to everyone that posted an update from the show!

I sent Dana an email of it and said ... "do not try this at home, these are trained professionals". LOL

Tonight's Greta show was a good recap of Natalee Holloway, but nothing new.

Here is a story from the past regarding Greta. I first met Greta in 2005 when I went to Aruba with TES to search for Natalee. Greta was going her show from Aruba in an outside venue. I met her following one of the shows as she usually had a large crowd waiting to meet and great both her and Beth. As I go closer and closer in the line I saw some of the staff kind of pointing at me and they whispered to her. As I finally got to introduce myself she looked at me and said, I know who you are, You are RED from the Scared Monkeys web site. I nodded my head and said, yup, that's me. I never realized how small she was. It was quite remarkable just how many of the media knew who I was and tried to follow me knowing that I had inside connections.

We chatted for a while and she invited me to a get-together that she and her staff were having later that night. She also introduced me to Beth for the first time. You have to remember my first involvement in the case was through Dave and TES. Beth also was very aware of SM and knew what we did. I gave Beth a big hug and said this was for all the members of SM who were behind her. That was the beginning of my dealings with Beth and the many emails & talks ... most of which were never made public.

'A Tale of Two Murders' will be a post on the Scared Monkeys.com  ::MonkeyWink::

It will basically analyze the Natalee and Stephany murders and show the similarities and glaring differences. One difference cost Joran Van der Sloot is freedom.

A book, you never know.

I think most people would be stunned if they ever knew some of the behind the scene stuff. Especially some of the networks when they got scooped. Many a network contacted me and wanted to know how I was getting the stories before them. What was funny if all remember back is that the news was so fluid on Aruba and breaking that we were talking about it on SM long before the news outlet shows were talking about it at 7, 8 or 9 pm.

There was no Twitter or Facebook back then.

We literally had people sending emails, VIDEOS and pics from Aruba from the top of hotels and showing us the latest searches as they were happening live. That and I had many a contact down there as my family had been traveling there since the 70's.

Way back when Tom and I had to create the Forum as a way to have people discuss the case and provide info and data as we could not keep up with the comments on the Front page blog. It was the first website to really ever incorporate the two. If people remember we had to create posts that were just for comments originally to try and keep up with the 1000's of comments. Every time we refreshed there was another 200 that needed to be moderated.

I hope Greta shows us where some of the friends are today. Married? Children? That's where Natalie would probably be today. What a loss.

Yes it was.

I remember driving Beth back to Alabama from Florida, we were both taking part in one of the searches for Caylee Anthony in FLA. This was not the MB home you see in tonight's Greta special, but the one she lived in after that. I went to her home and saw all the items that were Natalee's, the pics and just broke down. I told her I was so sorry and I felt like I had failed her in not finding Natalee. Being down there in Aruba and going thru that living hell of searching for her, especially in the landfill, was something that changes a person forever.

I meet and know Beth is to love her. She is such a strong person and understood that so many cared and stopped their lives for her and her family to find Natalee. There was never a time whenever I saw or talked to Beth that she didn't ask about the Monkeys. Beth is a special kind of person.

I haven't been through all you have searching for her, Red, but this case definitely changed me too.

I'd never posted on an internet forum, or researched an MP case.  It seems like a lifetime ago now!

And I think we've all felt inadequate at times, wishing we could have done more to bring Natalee home where she belongs.

My oldest also graduated HS in 2005, and that drew me in at first.  Beth, and her love for Natalee, understanding as a mom her determination to find her; and learning more about sweet beautiful Natalee, kept my interest.  There were years that I know my family secretly resented the amount of time I spent captivated by and going through every detail of this case.  I could sense their frustration at times.  But after five years, when Aruba's failure to prosecute allowed Joran to murder Stephany too, that was the wake up call for them.  They have always been supportive, but after that they started trying to be helpful too, making sure I didn't miss anything that came out about Natalee's or Stephany's cases, and that was heartwarming.

I thought it was absolutely excellent-so good to see her two friends, Claire Fierman and Mollie Tucker; Beth looks so good-her attitude is so inspiring; I need to purchase that book Portrait of a Monster, by Cole Thompson and Lisa Pulitzer as in their interview quips they sounded very in tune with the facts and have Joran's diabolical persona down pat. And..... John Q. Kelly is still gorgeous ...and nice.

I agree Ono, glad I was able to catch the replay. 

Hope someone will put it on Youtube as well, for Klaas and others that might have missed it. 

I bought the book and posted some excerpts here while reading it.  http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=11854.0

Cole Thompson and Lisa Pulitzer gave us a closer look at Stephany's family details in the early days after her murder, and we gain more of an understanding of how LE worked in her case from the book imo. 

Hoping there will be some updates soon from Stephany's family and how they're doing too.

I watched the show twice, and although it was good, it offered nothing new.  I did find some of Joran's answers more revealing in his duplicity, or maybe I was just reading between the lines after following the strange twists in the case.

Wow, Texasmom, thank you for your time and trouble in posting those excerpts.  Now I simply must purchase that book-what in-depth research they did.  One can only conclude that nobody ever taught Joran from a wee age that he should control his temper.

How great is it to come here and see at least 3 pages of new posts!!

Hi Monks and Monkettes - just got off the phone with TJ - needed something else and had a chance to ask about Natalee. That was TJ in the video last week with the search and rescue dog in the new video with Dave.

Also - he does believe this new witness - did a voice layered analysis and he is telling the truth. At least the truth as he knows it. They don't know when they are going - but they are going.

I also offered my Hyatt Gold Passport points to TJ and Dave if they need additional days on the island. They could stay another four or five days with these points. I don't have a lot - but they are available to Dave and TJ. It's the right thing to do.

TJ did say that that area was not searched and I asked to check with Tim Miller - and TJ replied that they think it's a fresh and new targeted area. They have the blueprints and are hopeful this could be something new.

Personally, I think this area was searched, many times, TES was stationed nearby - but it needs checked again because of the new witness.

Sleuth searches in vain for Natalee Holloway

Quote
The public prosecutor on the island is not involved in the search for Natalee Dave. A spokesman tells RTL Boulevard that she had to find out through the media that he is on the island. The authorities in Aruba are well aware of Jurriëns statement, but they do nothing with it. Chief Prosecutor Eric Olthof is is still to deepen in the file following the tip of Jurriën. Then he will decide whether there will again be sought by justice for the remains of US.

Maybe I was thinking of this post.  Doesn't say they won't allow it though so hopefully they will.

Yes, Dave said that they checked into the Marriott as guests and walked around with the cadaver dog in the unrestricted areas that guests are allowed into, but were not allowed to search where they actually wanted to search.

I've been trying to figure out why they went if it wasn't a planned search with permits and all the "required" BS down there.  And now they're going back again?

One or two other points - TJ did mention that the new witness was a drug dealer. I didn't really pry that out if him - it's conversational. That seems to be why he didn't come forward before. I think that's been posted here before. I replied that everyone is a criminal of some sort - and that doesn't excuse it.

Also, I was there from 1999 and 2005 on a regular basis - I saw alot of construction. Yet, I don't remember any like what was described by this new witness. And I was staying next door. Some kept me up at night and some ruined the days on the beach. But staying on Palm Beach so many times I don't remember this exact construction that could hide Natelee. I was up and down that beach all the time. Seem far-fetched to me. I saw the Radisson re-acquisitioned and finally completed. That was more noise than anyone could bear, on vacation.

As I mentioned I boycotted Aruba after Natalee. So I haven't been back for 10 years now. Last time was 10-20 days after Natelee was missing in  2005. If you remember I gave my gambling winnings to TES and did as much as I could at Tierra Del Sol when they were there. I also bought all the bottled water on Palm Beach to give to the dogs.

Let's hope something positive happens.

Anyway - if I find out anything more - I'll surely let you know.

No idea Klaas - TJ says they are searching - just doesn't know when. I don't know every detail and readily admit that. I need a phone number and a person searched for a criminal background - so while I asked that I threw a few more out there for TJ. This is a long story but kind of based on some of the stuff I told you in a previous email a few months ago.

It's Sunday nite and it's kind of improper to ask too much of someone on short notice outside of business hours - even though he owes me like 50 favors. I cash them in sparingly.

Why haven't they done it already?

Seriously.  What could be better for tourism than to be able to say before the 10th anniversary that they finally gave this family peace?  But if that was even a thought, it would have already been done IMO. 

If there's a chance she's there, the witness getting caught trying to drill through the floor should have set a fire under them, right?

Confused here too - TJ said they are staying at the Marriott the next time too. That's why I offered my points if they need additional nights. By the way - TJ can afford to stay as long as they want. The offer is good - but TJ doesn't need it.

Hope all is well, Rob! Still here watching justice take many different forms. Paulus has died and, although we lost another beautiful soul (Stephany Flores) along the way, Urine is in a sh*t hole. Justice will continue to morph as time passes and maybe one day Natalee will come to rest at home. Those on the Persistence will see their day as well. I'm for one thing, and one thing only, Justice for Natalee Holloway.

EXCLUSIVE: My new accuser is a 'crackhead and a f****** liar' says alleged killer of Natalee Holloway after dramatic claim he was seen with her body

Joran van der Sloot has angrily denied claims that he was spotted carrying the body of American student Natalee Holloway on the night she went missing.
The dramatic allegation was made this week by Jurrien de Jong, a fellow Dutchman who said he saw van der Sloot carrying Natalee's body on the night she vanished.
De Jong, 59, who claimed he didn't go to the police because he was involved in illegal activities at the time, told Inside Edition: 'I saw that Joran was chasing Natalee into a small building under construction.
'In about five minutes he came out with Natalee in his arms, and slammed the body of Natalee on the floor, and then he made an opening in a crawl space… I knew she was dead.'

Excellent piece, Red. Video is effective and on the mark - clarifying summary.  I still sense that they did go to the van der Sloot residence at some point in time.  That would reinforce the reason for the hefty amount of perspiration pouring from Paulus as Beth & Greta described.  Too bad a cadaver dog can't search there ...

New witness in Natalee Holloway case not telling the truth, Aruban prosecutor says

Natalee Holloway in 2005

Aruban authorities today dismissed claims by a man who says he saw what happened to Natalee Holloway 10 years ago.

Chief Prosecutor Eric Olthof said he asked the Aruban police to look into claims made by Jurrien De Jong to Inside Edition that he saw Joran van der Sloot, the primary suspect in Holloway's disappearance, chase her into a small building under construction. He says van der Sloot then reemerged with Holloway in his arms, slammed her body on the floor then made an opening in a crawl space.

He has previously told media this building is the Spyglass Tower of the Marriott Hotel in Aruba. "I saw Natalee Holloway on the last night that she was alive. I was the eyewitness," Jurrien De Jong told Inside Edition. "I knew she was dead."

De Jong said he never went to the police because he was involved in illegal activities at the time. He says he has come forward now because of a recent TV report where van der Sloot claims he was part of an undercover operation in which Holloway was buried at sea. Holloway disappeared in Aruba in May 2005 during a trip with graduating seniors from Mountain Brook High School.

De Jong's claims led Holloway's father, Dave Holloway, to return to Aruba earlier this month with Atlanta private investigator T.J. Ward and a cadaver dog. "He's telling the truth,'' Ward told AL.com earlier this week, saying that he conducted voice analysis on De Jong.

Earlier this week, the Daily Mail reported that van der Sloot also debunked De Jong's claims. Van der Sloot's attorney, Maximo Altez, said: 'Joran doesn't care at all about what is going on in Aruba, because none of it is true. 'He told me he knows this guy. He's a crack head, a f***ing liar, a compulsive liar. He's homeless and wants money to buy drugs."

In a press release issued today by Ann Angela, a spokeswoman for Olthof, said the prosecutor studied the Holloway dossier, or case, following De Jong's statement "as a supposed eye witness", and examined a notarized statement given by De Jong.

"Even though Mr. De Jong has not presented more plausible proof of his claims (his current testimony is identical to the one he gave in 2013 to the Prosecutor's Office), Chief Prosecutor Olthof commissioned the police to contact the management of the Marriott -considering the type of case, the importance of the case and the long duration of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway- with the request to supply information about the state of the construction site of the Spyglass Tower of the Marriott hotel on the 30th of May 2005,'' Angela said in the press release. "In short: what was built and what was not yet built on that 30th of May 2005, the night of the disappearance of Natalee?"
 ::snipping3::
Angela said that if new tips and leads that are "sufficiently concrete and well-founded surface in the (near) future" should arise, they will be investigated by the police and prosecutor's office in the hopes of finally closing the case and bring the suspect or suspects to justice. "At the moment however, the Police and the Prosecutor's Office unfortunately do not have any new tips or leads in this case,'' she said.

New witness in Natalee Holloway case not telling the truth, Aruban prosecutor says

Recently the Prosecutor's Office received the requested information from the management of the Marriott based in Orlando. "From this information, it becomes indisputably clear that on the 30th of May 2005, no construction or building activities were started at the location that Mr. De Jong has specifically pointed out as the spot where Natalee Holloway would have been hidden and/or buried,'' according to Angela's press release. "More concretely: the foundation of the Spyglass Tower (that still had to be built at the time) and of the staircase of the Spyglass Tower was not in place. This means that Natalee Holloway could never have been hidden and/or buried there."

"This leads to the conclusion that the claims made by Mr. De Jong of what he saw on the night of 30th of May 2005, cannot be correct, and that his testimony, considering the afore-mentioned, does not add to the solving of this case,'' Angela wrote. "Further investigation (in any manner whatsoever) under the staircase of the Spyglass Tower will not lead to finding the body of Natalee Holloway.

Angela said that if new tips and leads that are "sufficiently concrete and well-founded surface in the (near) future" should arise, they will be investigated by the police and prosecutor's office in the hopes of finally closing the case and bring the suspect or suspects to justice. "At the moment however, the Police and the Prosecutor's Office unfortunately do not have any new tips or leads in this case,'' she said.

Natalee Holloway's Dad on New Lead: 'Things Are Starting to Make Sense'

May 12, 2015 As seen on The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

 ::snipping3::

Quote
Dave Holloway said that he recently went to Aruba with a canine to search for his daughter, but that they weren’t permitted to search “restricted areas.”

Holloway told Gretchen Carlson that he went on Google Earth and pulled up the exact location where the alleged witness claims he saw van der Sloot and Natalee.

“Lo and behold, [the location] was under construction at the time,” Holloway told Carlson.

Holloway says he remembers seeing the construction area surrounded by the fence. He also remembers that no one felt led to look inside the fence because they didn’t think anyone could get in that area.

“Whether I believe him or not, I can’t struggle with the ‘what if.’ What if it is true? And what can I do to satisfy my mind in a potential clue that could solve the case,” said Holloway.

Holloway says the Marriott is waiting on a warrant from Aruban police before they will allow a search.

“For them to indicate that they will make their decision in a month or two kind of tells me that they have no intentions of doing it. Simply to not do it, they need to give me a reason. A very good reason,” Holloway said.

While there have been many promising leads that have come and gone throughout the past ten years, Holloways says one thing that has never changed is the love for his daughter.

Why should any Aruba authority believe anything that anyone says that may solve the Natalee Holloway case? Hell, the previous prosecutors would not prosecute Joran Van der Sloot in the death of Natalee Holloway even after he admitted to the crime, not once , but twice.

Just because Joran Van der Sloot murdered Natalee Holloway at the construction site of the Spyglass Tower of the Marriott hotel on the 30th of May 2005, does not mean that Joran left her body there permanently. His father, Paulus Van der Sloot, is much to intelligent to leave the body of Natalee at a location on land where she could potentially be found. Because after all as Papa Sloot chillingly stated so many years ago, no body, no crime. Natalee may very well have been killed at this construction site and then was buried at sea. Remember Joran Van der Sloot said, “It’s a big ocean”.

Is this really true ...Marriott Aruba Surf Club agrees to dig up property. How is it going to be possible?

How comical is it to hear Joran Van der Sloot call some one else "a f***ing liar, a compulsive liar?"

Quote
Van der Sloot has dismissed de Jong's story. 'He told me he knows this guy. He's a crack head, a f***ing liar, a compulsive liar,' his lawyer Maximo Altez said. 'He's homeless and wants money to buy drugs.

'You know the mind of a crack head, he'll do anything to get money, and that's all he wants,' added Altez. 'You shouldn't waste your time listening to him. Joran is innocent, he didn't do that crime.'

Dave Holloway, though, dismisses van der Sloot. 'All we have ever heard are Joran and his lies,' he told Daily Mail Online.

HALIEGH UNCAPHER was a student that stayed in Aruba. Her parent were coming to

HALIEGH UNCAPHER is the only known MBHS

I remember a group of sleuths were looking into a Marriott timeshare that was said
to of had a group of the Mountain Brook teens partying at the night Natalee disappeared.

MF: I wasn’t trying to trap you on trick you in any way by asking your opinion of the PVs.  I had never read your previous comments concerning them.

But I do have one more OT question for you if you don’t mind.  My wife and I were at the Marriott Surf Club last week.  We noticed that the land adjacent to the Surf Club was cleared.  I think it had to be recent, as I don’t remember it that way in June.  Do you know if condos are to be built there or is that just an extension of the new malls?  With the two new malls going up and the final Surf Club building soon to be completed, that area is going to soon see a lot more traffic.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
An interesting find at TBHS...
The kid is 19 and there's every reason to think Joran might know him. He would be an excellent go-to guy in a bad situation. However, this company would be an excellent go-to guy for the MB mafia should they need to quietly vanish a body. And if we're looking for a logical "major friend" for Charles Croes, the owner of this company would certainly qualify as the visibility teams were initially involved in the search for Natalee. Is this why regular police were not contacted? Because the chaperone was already working w/a private company?

Like I said, the name "van Cromvoirt" is very interesting, especially seeing as how they're running security on a building site (Marriott) that is a project of a huge Birmingham construction firm, with one overseas office--in Noord, Aruba.

Wednesday, May 20th 2015 8PM 

EXCLUSIVE: Natalee Holloway's parents celebrate birth of grandchild as Marriott Aruba Surf Club agrees to dig up property where new witness says missing teen's body was buried, dad reveals
Baby Rylee, daughter of Natalee's only sibling Matt, was born in December
Matt was 16 when his sister disappeared ten years ago
Natalee's dad Dave Holloway tells Daily Mail Online Aruba authorities must reopen the case to allow search for his daughter
An eyewitness has come forward saying he saw convicted murderer Joran van der Sloot carry Natalee's lifeless body into the Surf Club timeshares 
He did not come forward because he was involved in Aruba's drug trade


Natalee Holloway's parents have finally found new joy, 10 years after their beautiful blonde teenage daughter disappeared on a Caribbean island in one of the biggest missing person mysteries of the 21st century.

Dave and Beth Holloway now have a new little girl to shower with love, even as they know Natalee will never be coming home.

Little Rylee Holloway was born two days before Christmas, the daughter of Dave and Beth's only other child, their son Matt, who was 16 when Natalee went missing in Aruba in May 2005.

TJ called me a few minutes ago - as you know he is on with Dana tonight. He tells me that some of the articles we have all been reading are wrong and / or incorrect / embellished or lies. This new witness doesn't want any money nor compensation. He is adamant about it.

TJ and I had quite a laff at van der Sloot calling someone else a liar. Most here already pointed that out. Very funny stuff. TJ did use the F word quite a bit describing that - but that's to be expected.

Anyway - sounds like it will be a very informative webcast / podcast and they always are with Dana. Looking forward to it, like everyone else.

Oh, one other note - they have not been denied the ability to search. I read that somewhere - maybe here, or maybe elsewhere. They haven't even asked yet.

I think I can tell you this and not get any grief - TJ seems to have a new show on the horizon, after all these years and quite frankly he's long overdue. This is something that was on the horizon many times. He is due this opportunity. He has five or six longterm employees that will also be a part of this new program.

Last night he did solve a police case that has been lingering in the Atlanta community - didn't get into all the details - maybe Dana will ask. I'm sure TJ will expand if he is asked.

Hey Rob, Good to see you!

You know what they say, when you are afraid of the facts and the truth, destroy the individual's character, i.e. Enemy of the State with Will Smith.

Aruba authorities never investigated when they did have leads, now they are quick to sound just like Joran and his mouthpiece attorney.

Hell, Joran confessed at least twice to the murder and still they made excuses.

The LVA (Layered Voice Analysis) Technology

http://www.nemesysco.com/technology-lvavoiceanalysis.html

LVA is Nemesysco's core technology adapted to meet the needs of various security-related activities, such as formal police investigations, security clearances, secured area access control, intelligence source questioning, and hostage negotiation.
Quote
LVA technology enables a better understanding of your subject’s mental state and emotional makeup at a given moment by detecting the emotional content of his or her speech when responding to questions. The technology identifies various types of stress levels, cognitive processes, and emotional reactions that are reflected in the properties of his or her voice. This information provides insights into the way he or she thinks, what troubles him, what excites him, what portions of his speech he is uncertain about, what questions require more of his attention, and what areas appear to be sensitive issues for the speaker.

In addition, the technology enables the user to explore several levels of conscious and unconscious emotional activities (thoughts and feelings), and by doing so, expose additional layers of information that would otherwise be unavailable. This information can save crucial time during truth-detection investigation activities.

Layered Voice Analysis is not a "Voice Stress" analysis technology, nor does it use any previously known method for detecting voice stress. As such, LVA does not perform "micro-tremors" analysis in the voice.
::snipping3::


Quote
LVA and Lie Detection

Professionals in the field of lie detection know that there is no "true" lie detector, as lying is not a unified set of feelings that can be measured. Lying is a result of a deep logical process that is executed with a particular intention. One might lie to protect oneself from harm, while another might lie to gain profit, or even just to make a joke. Due to this variety in motivation and intention, there is no fixed set of characteristics (physiological or psychological) that differentiate lies from truth. However, LVA is capable of detecting the intention behind the lie, and by doing so can lead you to identifying and revealing the lie itself.

Nemesysco’s technology

http://www.nemesysco.com/technology.html

Quote
Nemesysco’s technology was originally invented in 1997 by Amir Liberman, and is being developed ever since in consultation with experts from different relevant fields (psychology, criminology, phonetics, psychiatry, mathematics and others).

The technology is based on a proprietary set of vocal parameters found through research to correlate with key human emotions, and in various combinations to be able to identify deceptive intentions in “real life” scenarios. These vocal parameters were identified from a bank of audio files taken in different languages and a numerous settings, including police interrogations, call centers and controlled experiments.

Many of the parameters Nemesysco’s technology uses are new to the world of phonetics, and focus on the uncontrolled and yet phonetically unexplained properties of the human voice.
Layered Voice Analysis (LVA)

LVA is a security-level technology designed to serve professional investigators in their line of work, by providing indications that further directs the investigation procedure to the relevant path. LVA analyses can be performed in real-time (using a microphone or on a telephone conversation) as well as off-line on previously recorded material.

I do find it interesting that TJ has changed his thought process over the years. He was totally stuck on the 'Jaguar the Colombian informant' for years.

I've questioned this for years - to his face. I just didn't believe it. But I would never believe any Colombian.

This was the former FBI informant that was given to TJ after the FBI left the island when they were shut out.

Yep, they are so quick to discredit de Jong but some how to do so is to believe Joran Van der Sloot. De Jong does not say he is a choir boy, he admitted he was doing illegal things back then. Which is more than Joran has ever fully admitted to. Whenever he has confessed, JVDS would then say he was lying 5 minutes later.

I agree Red - we've been having some disagreements about this for a few weeks. TJ keeps saying it wasn't searched and I keep saying TES was stationed right there.

The truth of the matter is when I was in Aruba with TES, it was the MSM following me to get a story and find out inside information.

They literally stalked me. There were times that I stayed in tinted windows cars down there and showed areas of interest to searchers that were brought up be Monkeys before I ever went there.

Okay, was having trouble tuning in on my iPad, but first thing I heard TJ saying something about "talking with Julie Renfro this morning" - I'm already about done.

I know, wreck.  I'd just had supper and thought I might lose it.

Yup, way before Facebook and Twitter. And might I add before unlimited bandwidth.  ::MonkeyEek::

Truth be told, we set up the Forum because we just had no way of keeping up with the comments that were coming in on the Front page blog. It was like every-time we refreshed there were 50 to 100 new comments. The closest think I can compare it to was in the movie the Social Network when they kept refreshing the page to hit 1 million.

Incredible - 138 year old Civil war bodies founds found by Tracey and her dogs. I'm blown away.

Now talking about Harold Copus - He personally helped me with some stuff over the years via TJ - he's an awesome investigator.

Rob, it's even more exciting than that-he said Revolutionary War... there were battles in and around Georgia. [ Georgia played a vital role in victory! ].

I kid you not Ono, in the early days when this case took off SM went from 1000 views a day to 1000 views every 10 minutes. Tom and I used to winder how we were going to not have the site crash. It was like Mr Scott of Star Trek fame, when Captain Kirk would say ... Scottie I need more power.

We were winging it. And then that server bill came in and my jaw hit the ground.

For the folks that were with us in the beginning when SM was featured on CNN, a show called Inside the Blogs, they were fascinated by this little upstart called SM that was breaking stories way before the MSM.

The truth is and I can say it now, many media folks were using SM as their sources and for background but never told their producers. Back then, Blogs were considered evil by the MSM and most of them had no web presence.

YES, we had to upgrade from the folks we endearingly used to call Server no-so Pronto. LOL

Some of you will remember when things got crazy, we had to turn off all the bells and whistles and go DEFCON4 so to keep the server from crashing. Suddenly folks lost their avatars and ability to IM as we had to focus all the power on life support and the frontal force shields. Crazy stuff.

Well, I was impressed.  Let's hope Corporate Marriott will comply and agree to T.J.'s request to search - it would be a big plus for Marriott to do so - they'd be heroes.

Then the ball falls in the Aruban Police court, so to speak, and the spotlight on them returns. [ And I don't think those jokers have forgotten at all, they just want to pretend it's totally unimportant and that it's gone away. ]

It's wonderful that CNN has gone down to Mississippi to interview Dave; The Layered Voice Technology sounds wonderful.

Nite wreck, and Ono.

I'll say goodnight as well, with this travel advisory.

In just the last ten years, there are two American's missing and believed murdered in Aruba.  Robyn Gardner has never been found either.  With the way the prosecutor's change every three years or so, there is very little chance either case will ever be prosecuted at this point.

A 17 year old student, and a 50 something year old man that had reportedly never been to the island before, were each able to completely disappear a body on this tiny little island and get away with murder.  Rest assured there are many more.

The government should do more as Dana said, but sad to say I've pretty much given up on that.

People need to remember that before they book that trip to One Happy Island.

The hitchhiking snakes of the Caribbean

Quote
But even the coastal hotels, far away from the wilderness of Arikok, have been visited by the boas in recent years. It turns out that these creatures have found a simple yet effective way to traverse the island. They hitchhike. "They love how warm car engines are," Robert tells me. "So they climb into them and end up getting driven all over the island."

Anyone watch Greta's program on Fox News last night? Although it was a good reminder of how Natalee's investigation has been such a travesty, it did not really contain any new information. Guess it was put together prior to the latest witness situation.

Oh so not true. I gave everything to Greta and more. I think Beth is on the side of showing her life, and Dave is the one that goes out and gets the dirty work done. Dave also has the same info that Greta has, so that shows the 2 different ways of how the 2 work. But don't forget, "inside Edition" is supposed to be in charge of the new witness info. I was actually going to Aruba with them for the 10th year so they could see some of the inside of what we all do, however I'm guessing the people who wrote the book Portrait of a monster got the role. Both Dave, and Beth know exactly who we are and what we have done, and continue to do. I am just praying this new lead is what we all need for closure and to let Natalee come home and be put to rest here.

Full Interview with Natalee Holloway 's Father Dave Holloway Part 1
Voldran

Published on May 20, 2015

Father of Natalee Holloway Dave Holloway Still Searching for Answers 10 years Later

Birmingham, AL

It was around this time ten years ago when the disappearance of Natalee Holloway dominated news headlines across the country. The Mountain Brook teen vanished while on a trip to Aruba with other graduates in her class. While her case has never been solved, her parents have never given up hope her body will be found.

The whole ordeal has been a nightmare for Dave Holloway. "I think we've lived through probably most parents' worst nightmare." It's been an endless parade of lies and false hope from the key suspect, and every so often a glimmer of hope that he will finally know what really happened to his daughter.

Met Holloway at his office in Mississippi where he maintains a low key lifestyle. He now has a granddaughter by son Matt. "It hadn't really sunk in yet. It's like i'm getting old!" said Holloway with a big smile. Natalee's two half sisters are growing up fast and enjoy cheerleading competitions. "We're a little more protective of our children. There will certainly be no out of the country excursions without us," says Holloway.

Natalee would have turned 29 later this year and likely have graduated from Alabama and maybe made good on plans for medical school. He dad says she was an excellent student.

"I just wish we had an answer." Frustrations with the Frustrations have lingered for ten long years.

He was back in Aruba recently after an alleged witness re-surfaced saying he saw suspect Joran van der Sloot with Natalee at a Marriot hotel which was under construction. But police in Aruba have quickly discounted his claims saying his story doesn't match up with the construction timeline at the hotel. The witness said Natalee was dead and van der Sloot hid her body. He claims he didn't come forward at the time because he was involved in illegal activity.

Joran van der Sloot is serving 28 years in Peru for murdering another young woman.

Anyone watch Greta's program on Fox News last night? Although it was a good reminder of how Natalee's investigation has been such a travesty, it did not really contain any new information. Guess it was put together prior to the latest witness situation.

Oh so not true. I gave everything to Greta and more. I think Beth is on the side of showing her life, and Dave is the one that goes out and gets the dirty work done. Dave also has the same info that Greta has, so that shows the 2 different ways of how the 2 work. But don't forget, "inside Edition" is supposed to be in charge of the new witness info. I was actually going to Aruba with them for the 10th year so they could see some of the inside of what we all do, however I'm guessing the people who wrote the book Portrait of a monster got the role. Both Dave, and Beth know exactly who we are and what we have done, and continue to do. I am just praying this new lead is what we all need for closure and to let Natalee come home and be put to rest here.

"I just wish we had an answer." Frustrations with the Frustrations have lingered for ten long years. Politics, money, corruption.... the story had all the makings of a soap opera played out on an international stage. "I just can't imagine three guys who are 17-18 years old that they could not be interrogated by police officers and not break em,".

No truer words have ever been spoken and thus the case was seriously compromised within its inception.

Aruba never thought the Holloway/Twitty families would mobilize so quickly and they never comprehended this would become the #1 story of 2005. They thought they could brush it under the Divi divi tree like they had done so often.

A part of me wonders had this disappearance took place in 2015 that the case would have been solved because of the immediacy of Twitter, FB, etc.

Trending Summary - Natalee Holloway
The man, identified as Jurrien de Jong, insisted that Holloway was buried under a staircase of the Marriott Hotel in Aruba, prosecutors said. They said his claims led chief prosecutor Eric Olthof to ask that Aruba police contact Marriott's management office in Orlando, Florida, to determine when the hotel's Spyglass Tower and its staircase was built. Marriott officials said neither the tower nor its staircase had been built when Holloway disappeared, prosecutors said.

Aruba officials chase another futile Holloway tip

 Posted: Wednesday, May 20, 2015 4:03 pm

Associated Press |

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — Aruba prosecutors said Wednesday that yet another tip about the location of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway's body turned out to be false.

Authorities said they had received a tip from a man who previously claimed to be a witness to Holloway's disappearance on May 30, 2005. The man, identified as Jurrien de Jong, insisted that Holloway was buried under a staircase of the Marriott Hotel in Aruba, prosecutors said.

They said his claims led chief prosecutor Eric Olthof to ask that Aruba police contact Marriott's management office in Orlando, Florida, to determine when the hotel's Spyglass Tower and its staircase was built. Marriott officials said neither the tower nor its staircase had been built when Holloway disappeared, prosecutors said.

Default Help - Marriott Surf Club construction?
Planning first trip to Aruba in August 2005 with family and have nice chance at Marriott Surf Club. I've been reading so much about the construction upheaval (marina blocking ocean, cranes, blue towels, pools not done, etc., etc.) that I'm not sure what to think.

Does anyone know where it stands now? Anyone willing to project where it may be come August?

Thanks much!

Default Re: Help - Marriott Surf Club construction?
We stayed at the Surf Club this past November. The villas are just beautiful. So nice having a washer & dryer right in the kitchen closet. The one pool that is opened was just great. Big, and had a swim up bar. They were working on the second building but the construction didn't bother any of us. Once in a while we may have looked up to watch a huge crane in action. As far as the beach goes, we mostly stayed by the pool. The Surf Club has put in lots of palapas on the beach and yes, you do have to walk towards the Ocean Club to swim, but in my eyes, not really an inconvenience. I wouldn't hesitate about staying there in August. So much more will be completed (well I hope so). I'll be at the Ocean Club in May so I'll let the board know how the Surf Club is coming along when I get back.

On June 24, 1995 the 413-guestroom resort officially opened its doors to the public; two weeks later on July 7th the resort added the Stellaris ****** to its portfolio. The Aruba Marriott Resort and Stellaris ****** was an instant success as it became the largest premier chain resort on the island. As a potential future Marriott Associate you would be joining a resort that currently boasts the most spacious guestrooms and balconies, largest ******, a state-of-the-art ballroom, longest stretch of beach, and friendliest associates in Aruba.

Entertainment and adventure fun for all ages surround this oasis with exciting water sports and ocean excursions. Infused with Caribbean style, the spacious one- or two-bedroom villas offer a welcome retreat. A private balcony, formal living and dining areas, and full kitchen are among the many impressive amenities included in each suite.

We found the Marriott Surf Club by faith or a solid recommendation from the person who was helping us decide where to spend our 2006 vacation.

Anyway, not knowing what to expect other than it was one of Marriott’s newer resorts we decided to take the leap. The resort was about 60% complete, although livable since it is right on the beach. Here is a shot of the Spy Glass Tower construction.

if you go to google earth and look under "view" (top left), there is a "historical images" option. go to palm beach and search for the marriot and move the date slider to june 2005 to see the most applicable picture (june 22 2005 i think). there is not much built that i can see. lots of materials and equipment. i've tried to figure out how to post a screenshot, but i can't. sorry.

I am looking thru all of my pics to see if I can't find something. Problem is I don't specifically remember searching near there. Trying to see if I don't have pics with the Marriott construction in the back ground. Either down from Pond draining, down from the Racquet club or on general from the beach. I can remember searching in some marshes that I thought I got this area in photos in the background.

STILL Under Construction” 2 of 5 stars ... Review of Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club

“STILL Under Construction”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2005

Quote
The stay in Aruba was great, as usual; however, this time we went on a time-share vacation to this brand new Marriott property. We came there on the first day that it opened to the public and stayed there for 7 days. First, to let you know, we are a young couple, without children, in our twenties ( just to have the perspective.) Below, listed are some minuses(-) and pluses(+) of this property.

Minuses

1.) The hotel was still Under Construction, and as far as I know, will be under construction untill 2007.
2.) The whole scenery on the photo that shows the hotel, is actually a picture and describes what the hotel will look like in the future. All of the "lazy river", extra swimming pools and jacuzzis are not built yet.
3.) Half of the time the hot tub was not operational.

In today's Diario, someone from Holland submitted this theory about where Natalee's body may have been hidden.

http://www.diario.aw/2010/06/mi-opinion-encuanto-e-lugar-unda-natalee-ta-dera/

Papiamentu translation: my opinion encuanto the lugar where natalee is bury - publication: saturday, 12 june 2010.

Quote
It was as clear to me now like a lump of how the fork in the stem was and why I asked in mid-May 2008 Chief Moss to take action and show it to initiate investigations on the former site of the Marriott Aruba Surf Club.

But what joke my surprise when he claimed that he sent in my email, stating my full theory, with drawings and all, could not open because the show PDF document was!?

Since he was to obtain 's search warrant to show a well-founded story at the court commissioner to knock, and he not therefore had was his proposal to the Marriott to seek voluntarily to cooperate with the investigation.

The same day I had the manager of the Marriott on the line and despite my assurance that the entire viewing exercise utmost discretion would go and show minor damage to the hotel would be caused, he is tough and I got zero on the petition .

My request to Mr. Moss for copies of the drawings were rejected, there was absolutely no understanding and cooperation.

My disappointment was great, but not quickly give up because I decided I was on my way to and vijtien months later I went to Aruba end of August 2009 and went right along with the DOW for photos of the drawings of the Marriott to make.

Joran was 1.5 years courting the daughter of someone who was involved in the construction of the Marriott.

There was a key found in Deepak's car, but was subsequently lost.

Shortly after her disappearance appeared on the site of "Scared Monkeys" messages from one Shango, with all sorts of cryptic text and one of them was:
"Why did not His Lordship bring the key found in the car"
::snipping3::

Quote
There was over two weeks' n nasty smell around the site of the Marriott Aruba Surf Club.

There was never sought because at night 's lock on the gate Sat

Dave Holloway told me that one day "short-cut was between the parking lot of the Marriott and the Holiday Inn.
::snipping3::

Quote
Their right is the Marriott Aruba Surf Club Phase 3, in terms of structure is finished and only needs to be finished and left, a row of containers.

Joran suggests that stars and look at Natalee's remark that there is already a roof on the hotel is right, then he points to show a small building at the very end of the site.

If your building plan of the hotel on Google Earth satellite image of June 22, 2005 submit, you will find that this building is the start of the emergency stairwell # 3 of "The Spyglass Tower".

They run inside, climb on the landing, go through the stairs to the first floor and steps in a "half" room, which later the space behind the elevators would be.

They go on the floor and stare together in love to the beautiful sky and everything is nice and peaceful.

But the true nature of man is only then upwards when there are no witnesses, because there is nothing from that horrible change, it's a beast, because suddenly brutally raped Natalee and Joran then breaks her neck!

He then takes her in his arms and running down the stairs and puts her on the landing.

He jumps down, pulls her into the hallway and grabbed a fire with a twist smacks her on the ground.

Then he pushes the sand to crawl away and he pulls Natalee at her feet inside.

He crawls to the end of the room and stuffed with sand near the crack.

His shoes, where blood is, he kicks off and leaves behind this spot.

He squeezes out again and again, he then closed the gap with sand and will then smiling, barefoot into the night.
 
I have this information to the Diario passed, because I just think that the Aruban entitled to it!

Ten years, wow.  For some reason it really hit me this morning.  Ten years.  I can't imagine, and hope I never know how it feels to be the parent of a child I've had to search for at all, much less this long!  I hope the lead is for real and can finally bring Natalee home for a proper burial, or at least maybe prove if she was ever there.  I still think she was in that cage, but could have been taken out there days later.  Still too many unanswered questions, and strange activities surrounding the whole ocean search and the recovery of the remains in that cage.  I'm waiting for someone to convince me it wasn't her, but I'm not holding my breath or anything.  Still have to wonder if Greta had all of the information, and this is truly a promising lead at the Marriott, why wasn't it mentioned in her show?

But as I sit here drinking coffee out of my Scared Monkeys Justice Train to Birmingham cup  ::MonkeyHeart::, Joran van der Sloot is where he belongs.  And for that, I'm thankful.  

Ricardo Flores said it five years ago, Stephany was an instrument of Justice for Natalee.   ::MonkeyAngel::

Ricardo Flores, who buried his daughter Thursday, said he hoped Stephany's slaying can resolve the Holloway mystery. "My daughter was an instrument for (Natalee), so that there can be justice," he said yesterday.

We may have to wait a while for any justice directly related to Natalee's case, and it's really sad that Joran was protected and allowed to murder again; but Justice for Stephany in Peru has given us the tremendous gift of living the last five years knowing the monster is not still free!  

Still hoping someone will interview the Flores family, hope they are doing well.  Five years for them now without Stephany.  Although Joran was arrested fairly quickly, he tormented them throughout the trial process, and still seemed to have it too good in prison until he was transferred last fall.  Wonder how he is today, he doesn't seem to be getting as much outside attention there in Challapalca, lol.  But no matter how good Joran thinks he has it, or that he can still at least appear to even have a family; the Flores family can rest assured that if he lives long enough, when Peru is through with him; he's coming to Birmingham, Alabama USA for some more justice.

Natalee Holloway 10 years later: New facts, and doubts, about the case's future

By Carol Robinson | crobinson@al.com

on May 24, 2015 at 7:11 AM, updated May 24, 2015 at 8:14 AM

Miami University senior Dani Kaufman got the "Natalee Holloway talk" when she left for Spring Break on the idyllic island of Aruba.

"We all pretty much got the similar speech," the Ohio native said. "Stick with each other, don't leave with anyone you don't know. Don't go back to anyone's room. Watch your drinks. Don't drink too much."

Ten years after Mountain Brook's Natalee Holloway vanished on a high school trip to Aruba – 10 years after news of her disappearance spread like wildfire across cable news channels and the world – Holloway has become both a point of reference and a point of contention in this island nation.

Police and politicians and government offices in Aruba simply will not talk much about Holloway these days. The topic is largely off limits, presumably because Aruban officials believe the American media and the Holloway family unfairly criticized island police and by doing so threatened Aruban tourism.

But Americans like Susan Miles – she and her family stepped off a Carnival cruise ship in Aruba in March – cannot set foot on shore without thinking about Holloway. Miles' mother, Mickey Arsenault, even asked her tour bus driver to point out the Holloway sites such as the Holiday Inn where she stayed before that fateful night.

"It's just such a huge blown up story for such a long time, even anywhere you live," Miles said. "And you just thought of the family, and the poor girl that just went on Spring Break, and you think of your own kids traveling and I think people are a little bit more nervous to send their kids on a vacation by themselves anymore."
 ::snipping3::

"For us, the case is still open and will remain open until we find out more concretely what happened to this girl,'' said Jossy Mansur, owner and editor of the Papiamento-language newspaper Diario in Aruba. "I want some kind of definite closure in the case and that Beth would finally, finally have some peace of mind by taking whatever is left of her back to Alabama and have her buried there. It's very sad for a mother to lose a child like this."

Mansur, an Aruban native and prominent businessman who has written two dictionaries for the Papiamento language and who has written a history of Aruba, among other books, said the government doesn't share his newspaper's sentiments of solving the Holloway case and bringing charges against longtime prime suspect Joran van der Sloot.

 ::snipping3::

"They were let go because all of the judges are Dutch people and the Dutch stick together,'' said the 80-year-old Mansur, who graduated from Alabama's Spring Hill College in 1954. "For them, the case is closed. It will not be reopened. If you ask them officially, they say, 'Oh it's open and we're waiting for new information to come in. Nonsense. They're not even trying."

Natalee Holloway 10 years later: New facts, and doubts, about the case's future

Mansur said the information he has received consistently throughout the years is that Natalee, van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers never went to the beach. "The information I have, and very few people know this, is that they did not go to the beach,'' he said. "They took Natalee to Joran's apartment. He lived on the same property as his parents, but he lived in an apartment isolated from the main house."

"They took Natalee there. And whatever happened in that apartment happened, but she did not come out of there alive,'' he said. "All this other information that has been floating around for years that she was killed or murdered or whatever on the beach is not true. As far as our information is concerned, she never got to the beach alive. She was in the trunk."

Mansur said they drove to the beach near the Aruba Racquet Club and waited for a friend of van der Sloot's , who dumped the body at sea. "They took her out to sea two or three miles,'' he said. "In Aruba, there is a peculiarity out there because in front of the beaches that run in front of the hotels, there's strong currents that can take anything in no time to the Central American coast, Costa Rica or Panama."

"So they dumped her with some of heavy thing that they pulled out of the trunk of the car, dumped her in the ocean, came back and disappeared,'' he said. "The very next day the investigation began, but it was a half-hearted investigation."

Mansur said van der Sloot's father, Paulus van der Sloot, never achieved his goal of becoming a judge despite several attempts, but he did hold a position of power in the Ministry of Justice. "It so happens that whenever anyone here in Aruba has a complaint against the police for whatever reason, they had to go before Paulus. He handled the police cases, and was very good friends with them,'' Mansur said. "When this happened, and the police knew that Paulus' son was involved, everything began to go wrong."

"There was no real investigation taking place there. They wanted to save the boy as best they could," he said. "I've never spoken about this before, but I know for a fact this is what happened. I have a very good relationship through the newspaper with the police. I had their confidence, and they would tell me things they would not tell out in the open."

Mansur said there are little-known aspects of the investigation. One is that Paulus van der Sloot insisted on surveillance cameras being installed in the interrogation room prior to interviews with his son. "Why? Because they were afraid they would beat him up, slap him, knock him over or whatever. They weren't all his friends, just the police who had been in trouble,'' he said. "I think they saw their own protection also in the cameras."

Secondly, Mansur said, is that the written reports transcribed from the recorded interviews with Joran van der Sloot were altered by Paulus van der Sloot. "He's the one who in his handwriting corrected whatever was dangerous for his son,'' Mansur said. "Very few people know this, but I do because I have copies of all of those documents."

Those police documents, he said, were later destroyed. "Normally they would file them or take them to court,'' he said. "They tore them up. They don't exist."

"To me, it was a cover-up investigation,'' he said.

 ::snipping3::

Quote
Most downtown business owners said they were too afraid to discuss the case. One shop owner did talk, but wouldn't allow his name used because he said the last time he spoke publicly to the media, he received a chastising telephone call from government officials. "It's almost destroyed me,'' he said. "My business has suffered."

"They want to get rid of the case. They want the case closed,'' Mansur said. "They don't want to hear anything about it. It did its damage to the island at that time, and they live with the thought that they don't want the case to be reopened."

"Economically, it didn't hurt Aruba. For a short while, yes,'' he said. "When it was going on for about 2 ½ years and all these newspaper people from the states were here, yes, it had to affect the island because all of the information they were sending was negative. It's gone. It's finished."

"Now? Aruba is benefiting from it in the sense that more people now know Aruba,'' Mansur said. "They've seen the pictures and the videos of it over all the big channels of the U.S. and Aruba's tourism has grown quite a bit, not because of that but to a point where we reach a million visitors a year."

Hello Monkeys! I don't post often but still check in here pretty much every day. I was wondering, has Joran ever discredited a witness so much before? Could he be calling this witness a liar because he doesn't want anyone to look? I know he loves getting his name in the news no matter how but I don't recall him ever calling someone a *** liar when they come forward.

10 years later: Dave Holloway pursues new lead about daughter Natalee
Posted: Sunday, May 24, 2015 4:07 am

While a recent visit to Aruba proved futile in hopes of locating the body of his missing daughter, Natalee Holloway, Meridian resident Dave Holloway said he has no regrets about making the trip.
 
"I had to go, and I did," Holloway said about going to Aruba earlier this month to pursue a tip passed on by authorities from a man who previously claimed to be a witness to his daughter's disappearance.
 ::snipping3::

 But Holloway's thoughts are never far from seeking justice for Natalee.
 
"You know what really gets me is that young kids, they try so hard. In school, they try to make good grades – she was a straight-A student and really had a plan for what she was going to major in and what she was going to do in life. And then she goes on a trip and five days later – gone," Holloway said. "That's the part that's hard."
 
Saturday will mark 10 years since Natalee's disappearance. Holloway said he has no plans for a memorial service.
 
"I've buried her so many times in my mind that it's unbelievable," he said. "You get to where you have to let go sometime, and that's part of the closure process. You can't just keep reliving it."

Part of the reason some people were banned from SM a long time ago, especially in reference to this case, was due to the DRAMA that revolved around them.  I don't do drama.

10 years later: Dave Holloway pursues new lead about daughter Natalee
Posted: Sunday, May 24, 2015 4:07 am

While a recent visit to Aruba proved futile in hopes of locating the body of his missing daughter, Natalee Holloway, Meridian resident Dave Holloway said he has no regrets about making the trip.
 
"I had to go, and I did," Holloway said about going to Aruba earlier this month to pursue a tip passed on by authorities from a man who previously claimed to be a witness to his daughter's disappearance.
 ::snipping3::

 But Holloway's thoughts are never far from seeking justice for Natalee.
 
"You know what really gets me is that young kids, they try so hard. In school, they try to make good grades – she was a straight-A student and really had a plan for what she was going to major in and what she was going to do in life. And then she goes on a trip and five days later – gone," Holloway said. "That's the part that's hard."
 
Saturday will mark 10 years since Natalee's disappearance. Holloway said he has no plans for a memorial service.
 
"I've buried her so many times in my mind that it's unbelievable," he said. "You get to where you have to let go sometime, and that's part of the closure process. You can't just keep reliving it."

It was so good, the crowd demanded more.

Natalee Holloway's father opens up about new lead
Updated 4:30 PM ET, Thu May 28, 2015

 ::snipping3::

Dave Holloway believes his daughter was the victim of foul play, her body thrown in the ocean.

Holloway recently got a tip from a man claiming to have witnessed van der Sloot carrying Holloway's body on the night she disappeared. Years ago, Dave Holloway received a call from the alleged witness, Jurrien de Jong, asserting his daughter was not in the ocean, but on land. Holloway originally brushed aside the call, one of many he received at the time from people claiming to know where is daughter was.

Holloway recently sat down with CNN's Martin Savidge in Meridian, Mississippi, to talk about the latest development and his daughter. Below is a portion of that interview, edited for brevity and clarity.

CNN's Martin Savidge: What did de Jong describe in his conversations with you?

Holloway: He says that a car pulls up and Joran and Natalee get out of the vehicle. This is on May 30, (2005) and this vehicle pulls into the parking lot at the Marriott hotel, and you can see a construction site and you can see the Holiday Inn ... and this area is enclosed with a chained fence. He says that Natalee says, "Well the gate's locked," and (Van der Sloot) says something about, "Well I know a trick," and somehow he, I guess, unwraps the chain and they go in ...

Then he sees them go across the construction site, and they get up on the platform, which I presume to be the foundation of the Spyglass Tower, and they run up to an area that's got half of a stairway built and they go up that and he loses sight of them. Then, approximately five minutes later he says they emerge with Joran carrying Natalee in his arms and apparently he knew that she was not living. He put her down on the concrete slab and then jumped down off of it and put her body down on the ground and then went and dug an opening under the slab and then put her body in it and then covered it back up and walked out.

Savidge: The Marriott has at least told the authorities down there that there wasn't construction or any significant construction of which the witness described.

Dave Holloway: I can tell you for a fact. I was there on June 1, and there was definitely construction in that area. June 1, 2005, because it was all chained up. And that's one of the areas we never searched because we assumed it's locked up and secured at all times, and they have construction workers there on site. It was something we assumed that that would never need to be searched and it wasn't.

Savidge: What changed your perception of de Jong and his story?

Holloway: Well I kept looking at it and looking at the facts and what he said, and I thought, man, I can't go here because I've gone through so many of these where they had details and facts and it turned out to be nothing... I called TJ Ward, (a private investigator), and said, "TJ I need a second opinion on this guy."

I said, "Can you look at this guy and talk to him and see what you think?" and so he did, and a couple of days later he called me back and said, "Hey, Dave, the guy passed this voice analysis test."

"I thought 'Oh my gosh,' and then I started digging more and more into it. I'm thinking maybe there's something to this, but I told TJ, I'm not going to get my hopes up. ... We had the opportunity about three weeks ago to go to Aruba and check this out and we did with a cadaver dog. We were kind of blocked in the areas that we wanted to do the search so it was kind of a failed mission I guess, so to speak.

Savidge: What were you hoping for?

Holloway: Maybe to get lucky, you know? And see and put this to rest.

Savidge: Did de Jong ever ask you for money?

Holloway: No.

Savidge: Do you believe his story?

Holloway: I want to believe it, but I don't want to get myself into a situation where I put all the marbles into this story and then it doesn't pan out and then I'm in a situation mentally where it's going to take a while to get over so I'm just cautiously watching and thinking, "How does this story fit in with what he is saying?"

Savidge: What would you like to see happen next?

Holloway: I would like to see that area in question is searched by a dog.

Savidge: Do you get the sense that people, at least, in Aruba would just like this to go away?

Holloway: Oh, I believe that absolutely.

Savidge: Is there ever a point you stop?

Holloway: No. As a parent you'll never stop. Never. I mean, your child is off in a foreign country and you want to bring her back home, and I've got the means and the ability to go down there and check and do it, and if I'm willing and able to do it, then I always will.

Savidge: You think about Natalee every day?

Holloway: Yeah. It always passes your mind. More so now with this new lead.

Editor's note: CNN's Martin Savidge received this statement from Jeff Flaherty, in Global Corporate Relations at Marriott International, Inc.

"As we have done all along, we cooperate fully with the authorities whenever they are conducting an official investigation."

New clues, questions in Natalee Holloway case
Updated 9:15 PM ET, Thu May 28, 2015

Watch special coverage of Natalee Holloway's disappearance at 8 p.m. ET this week on "Anderson Cooper 360°."

(CNN)—Ten years after Natalee Holloway went missing, a Dutch citizen says he knows where to find her. Prosecutors, however, aren't buying it.

Jurriën de Jong told CNN's Martin Savidge that the teen's body is buried in a crawl space at a Marriott vacation property in Aruba, and he believes he saw her in her final moments.
 ::snipping3::
Aruba's chief prosecutor, Eric Olthof, says he spent weeks investigating de Jong's assertions, including a 2010 sworn statement to police.

When asked about what construction was underway on May 30, 2005, Olthof says Marriott officials said there was no construction at the spot de Jong pointed out.

"It's evident now the story of Mr. de Jong can't be true, so that's a closed book," Oltholf told CNN.

Enter Google Earth ...

On the other hand, some signs complicate Marriott's official time line of the construction of Spyglass Tower. A satellite image from Google Earth taken in June 2005, just a few weeks after Natalee Holloway disappeared, shows what appears to be the blurry outlines of structures that could resemble a construction site.

Holloway's father says he remembers the site from the day after his daughter's disappearance. "I can tell you for a fact. I was there on June 1, and there was definitely construction in that area," he says.

Holloway says he has information that construction began in February, but he was not clear on how he knows. Natalee Holloway was last seen on May 30, 2005.

CNN's Savidge received this statement from Jeff Flaherty of global corporate relations at Marriott International Inc.: "Mr. de Jong has contacted Marriott in the past and each time we have suggested to Mr. de Jong that he present his account of the matter to the authorities. As we have done all along, we cooperate fully with the authorities whenever they are conducting an official investigation."

For his part, de Jong says he believes authorities are dragging their feet.

"It's the inconvenient truth. It would damage the image of Aruba as one happy island," he says.

Oltholf won't say that de Jong is lying, but says his statement can't be true.

"It's the statement of the management of the Marriott that at that time, at that place, there was no construction. When there's no construction, Natalee Holloway can't be buried in the crawl space under the foundation," he said.

And, he added, that Marriott has provided proof.

"I think they're not wrong because they can prove it with some photographs and some other material. And I think they are right with what they are saying. And Mr. de Jong can't prove it," said Olthof.

It's not hard for me to believe that it could have happened, there's another building that can be seen in an Oct 2005 picture on flicker that I've posted earlier...wondering if that has a staircase in it?  IIRC, it looked like a two story building.

It's just hard for me to believe they would have left her there, and no one noticed at the time?  Construction workers?

Maybe Aruba would rather just have everyone wonder if the Marriott is Natalee's coffin than check it out?  How could that possibly be a good thing?

Holloway’s father says he remembers the site from the day after his daughter’s disappearance. “I can tell you for a fact. I was there on June 1, and there was definitely construction in that area,” he says.


Holloway says he has information that construction began in February, but he was not clear on how he knows. Natalee Holloway was last seen on May 30, 2005.

CNN’s Savidge received this statement from Jeff Flaherty of global corporate relations at Marriott International Inc.: “Mr. de Jong has contacted Marriott in the past and each time we have suggested to Mr. de Jong that he present his account of the matter to the authorities. As we have done all along, we cooperate fully with the authorities whenever they are conducting an official investigation.”

For his part, de Jong says he believes authorities are dragging their feet.

“It’s the inconvenient truth. It would damage the image of Aruba as one happy island,” he says.

Oltholf won’t say that de Jong is lying, but says his statement can’t be true.

I just watched Martin Savidge's report on CNN, and the prosecutor says Marriott has provided proof that there was no structure where the witness has pointed out.  So they are not going forward with this lead.  Dave thinks the Marriott has given the prosecutor faulty information.  In order to search they would need to have a cadaver dog on site and drill a few holes in the foundation, no demolition would be needed.

Natalee Holloway: 10 years, no answers
By Phil Rosenbaum & Stephen Loiaconi
updated1:48 PM EDT, Fri May 29, 2015


On May 30, 2005, around 1:00 a.m., American teen Natalee Holloway left Carlos'n Charlie's bar in Oranjestad, Aruba with three young men.

She was never seen by her friends or family again.

Holloway, an 18-year-old from Mountain Brook, Alabama, was on a post-high school graduation trip with classmates. She was scheduled to fly home later that day, but concern grew when she missed her flight.

Suspicion quickly turned to the three men she was last seen with, and specifically to 17-year-old Joran van der Sloot.

Van der Sloot, the Dutch son of an Aruban justice official, initially claimed he and his friends dropped Natalee off at a hotel. He later changed his story and said he left her on the beach, but he maintained that he did not harm her.

Van der Sloot and brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe were arrested on June 9, 2005 and remained in custody for nearly three months as the investigation continued and the search for Natalee intensified.

In September 2005, however, they were released.

The years that followed would bring many moments of false hope for Holloway's family, fruitless searches by land and water, seemingly-promising leads that fizzled into nothing, surprising claims by alleged witnesses, and even an apparent confession by van der Sloot recorded by a secret camera.

At one point in 2007, van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers were briefly rearrested, but no charges were ever filed.

Today, Joran van der Sloot sits in a Peruvian prison, convicted of murdering another young woman, 21-year-old Stephany Flores, in a hotel in Lima on May 30, 2010, exactly five years after Natalee Holloway disappeared.

 ::snipping3::

Despite claims that recently surfaced from a new possible witness, what happened to Natalee Holloway remains a mystery 10 years later.

New tip raises questions in Natalee Holloway's disappearance
Updated 2 hrs 9 mins ago

 ::snipping3::
Jurrien de Jong claims he saw the chief suspect in Holloway's disappearance chase her into a construction site and later hide her body under a staircase of the Marriott Hotel in Aruba.

Holloway's father said he saw construction at the time and Google Earth images back him up.

"What he is describing in his story matches what's physically there at the time. I'm thinking this could be something," Dave Holloway said.

Marriott officials said the site wasn't under construction on May 30, 2005, the date of Holloway's disappearance.

"That's useless to search there with a cadaver dog or drilling," Aruba prosecutor Eric Olthof said. "One thing will be sure, she's not lying there. She can't be lying there."

Marriott hasn't commented publicly about the construction timeline, only releasing a statement that it is fully cooperating with the official investigation.

I wish I could have confidence in any of the prosecutors, they just don't seem sincere.  Maybe they are in other cases, but in this case I believe they are just puppets for a term of three years.  A search for a body in the foundation of the Marriott could turn a few heads I guess.  They figure they've about weathered the Natalee Holloway storm.  10 years, it should be about over right?  But they're wrong.  One person at a time, talked to two today.  There are too many other wonderful vacation spots than to give them a dime until Natalee comes home.  Jossy's right, they're not even trying.

The FBI knows, or has the ability to know about construction at that site at that time.  But then I remember the cage found by Americans a mile from the shore with human remains in it over seven years ago.  We still don't know who was in it.

Aruba doesn't want to solve this case.  If they EVER charged Joran, it would only be as some attempt to get him out of being tried in the USA.  You would hope he would be bad for tourism by now, but who knows?!!!!

It's not hard for me to believe that it could have happened, there's another building that can be seen in an Oct 2005 picture on flicker that I've posted earlier...wondering if that has a staircase in it?  IIRC, it looked like a two story building.

It's just hard for me to believe they would have left her there, and no one noticed at the time?  Construction workers?

Maybe Aruba would rather just have everyone wonder if the Marriott is Natalee's coffin than check it out?  How could that possibly be a good thing?

Don't you think if they(LE) had found a body there, they would have hushed it up, paid off anyone who had seen it and disposed of the body immediately?
Last time I will invoke billb-my Dad...I followed along with his train of thought and will continue my posts with my thoughts......(by the way...he taught me the...... ::MonkeyCool::)..I was never keen on stacking quotes though. ::MonkeyTongue::

God Bless Natalee Holloway and her family


Its hard to believe Monkeys that it has been 10 years. God bless Beth, Dave and the rest of the Holloway, Twitty, Reynolds family.

So much has happened, so much hasn't happened and we lost so many along the way. We have had wins and losses and I believe there is still more to come.

(http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/fun-images/3_20monkeys_small1.jpg)

Throughout the day I am going to release posts on the front page and will copy the links to the forum.

The day year mark of Natalee's disappearance and death in Aruba also marks the 5 year date of the murder of Stephany Flores. Joran Van der Sloot is one sick SOB as it is obvious that is no coincidence that it was to the day that this sociopath struck again. We can take solace that he is locked away in prison. Personally, I would rather have in in a locked room for 1 hr. to deliver some Monkey justice. But that's me.  ::boxjoran::

To all, past present and future, who have taken the time, cared, researched, prayed and put Natalee Holloway, Beth, Dave and her family in your hearts as well as so many other missing persons, victims of crime, and their families ... thank you!!!

On July 12, 2005 identity “clevfan” of “Major Wager.com” reported:

Anyway, remember John Merryweather, evil incarnate and my mom’s cousin? He has a son, named Herbert (Herbie) Merryweather. Herbert is married and has a son, but I don’t know his name.

The mother of this son came to talk to my mom day before yesterday and it turns out that her son is a classmate of Joran’s.
So, got it, grandson Merryweather is Joran’s classmate. Turns out that that grandson and mom had a major clash with Joran some time before, because Joran accused grandson of killing Joran’s dog and throwing it in Moko Dam (place where TX ES also searched), however, the mother threatened to go the cops to make a complaint against Joran, and the Joran confessed to killing his own dog.****

I’m not kidding. Not even a little bit.

Also, the morning after NH disappeared [May 30, 2005], Joran came with a big bruise on his face and was sleeping in class and could only be woken up when he was pelted with (note?)books.

'Scarborough Country' for July 6
Read the transcript to the Wednesday show

 ::snipping3::

Mr. Merryweather, thank you so much for being with us tonight.  Tell us, why were you involved in that protest?  What do you think that Natalee's mother did wrong?

JOHN MERRYWEATHER, FORMER ARUBA DIPLOMAT:  Well, first—no, no, first of all, I'd like to answer why I was at the—not protest.  It was a gathering in support of our justice system.  It was not a protest.  It never started out as a protest either.  I would like that to be very, very clear.

When I was there, I hadn't heard what the comments of Natalee's mother either of the day.  I was asked that after I was there.  I went there.  I was not part of the organization, but I went there in support of our justice system.

(CROSSTALK)

SCARBOROUGH:  What did she say that was wrong?  What did Natalee's mother say that was...

(CROSSTALK)

SCARBOROUGH:  No, what did Natalee's mother say that offended so many people in Aruba?
Advertise

MERRYWEATHER:  Well, you know, it—it—it offended me, also.  You cannot—these two boys, I don't know them.  I don't know the parents.  I don't know anyone involved in this personally.

But our justice system, as yours in the states, you are innocent until proven guilty.  This system of ours, whether you agree with it or not, whether you understand it or not, allows these people to be free at this moment, but they are not free of charges.  They have not been exonerated from this case.

They have not been found innocent.  They are witnesses.  And they can be called upon at any time.

(CROSSTALK)

SCARBOROUGH:  OK, Mr. Merryweather, that is fair enough.  I mean, that is a fair enough point.  You're innocent until proven guilty.

Can you understand, though...

MERRYWEATHER:  Yes.

ITS HARD TO BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN 10 YEARS …

May 30, 2005 … Alabama teen Natalee Holloway has gone missing in Aruba while on a class trip with her fellow Mountain Brook classmates to celebrate their graduation from high school, to begin their college careers and the rest of their lives. Or so they all thought. All of these young teens with their whole lives ahead of them, just celebrating one more time together before they went their separate ways in what was supposed to be a safe vacation surrounded by sand, sun and the sea. Like so many classes before them, a visit to Aruba was supposed to be the one last high school fling. Sadly, for Natalee Holloway it would be the one last thing she ever did in life, never to attend college, never to have the rest of her life. Enter Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe and everyone’s lives would be changed forever and not for the better.

(http://scaredmonkeys.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Aruba_3-suspects-JVDS_K-300x160.jpg)
18 year old Natalee Holloway went missing on Aruba and was last seen leaving an Aruba bar, Carlos N’ Charlies, with three boys, Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe. The news of Natalee’s disappearance was not made public to the adults in attendance with the teens until the following day when it was time to head off for the airport to leave. Natalee was missing. From the outset, something was very wrong in how this case was being investigated. The Aruba police had the mindset that Natalee was just off having fun and she would return because this happens all the time. REALLY? That might have been some what okay reasoning for Aruba LE had any one of the three people Natalee was last with were missing too. However, they were not, they were already lying. What changed this case, brought it to the forefront and escalated it to new heights that we have never seen before in a missing persons case was that Aruba and the powers that be never imagines that the Holloway/Twitty family would have arrived so quickly on Aruba and hit the ground running trying to find Natalee. The Holloway/Twitty crew were doing the police and detective work that the Aruba LE should have already had done. Like I said, from the outset something smelled to the high heavens, and it was not just inept and incompetent police work, some was so bad it was obvious it had to be intentional.

The fix was in from the outset on so many levels. More posts to come today and the weekend.

TWITTY: I met him in his office. And you know, the main things that we went over in the meeting, Greta — you know, I wanted to make it perfectly clear that — you know, Aruba is a small island. We agreed upon that. And this island, you know, it's well connected. Everyone knows everyone. And I wanted to make sure he knew there's no way that I will accept not having answers as to where Natalee is. And if I have to spend the next 40 years being the voice for her out of Aruba, I will. I am not going to accept that, especially with how the investigation was so poorly handled in the beginning. And the third thing, is anyone who can help put pressure — if the pressure needs to come out of Curacao, from the judges, to the defense team, to the prosecuting attorney — you know, if we've got specialized equipment on the island, just say the polygraph expert, that, you know, we need to utilize him. We certainly would not want to prosecute the wrong individuals.

VAN SUSTEREN: Did you get the idea that you connected with him and got your message across to him, or did you think he was simply being polite and nodding and listening to the sort of — you know, the mother who's looking for a child, the grieved mother?

TWITTY: I think he genuinely sees that I'm not going to give up and I will not accept not finding Natalee for an answer. Like I said, this island is too small, it's too connected. There's no way that I will accept that.

VAN SUSTEREN: How long did you spend with him?

TWITTY: Maybe 30 minutes.

VAN SUSTEREN: Was there any point when he discussed the investigation and — you know, any sort of, you know, things that he thought where the ball had been dropped?

TWITTY: Well, I think we both expressed our frustrations from early in the investigation. And there's no one that would disagree with that, of the incredible mistakes that were made early on.

VAN SUSTEREN: Was he at all specific in identifying where he wished that the investigation had been, you know, more thorough or more complete?

TWITTY: Absolutely. Those boys should have never been released out of there on May 31.

VAN SUSTEREN: And he agreed with that.

TWITTY: Yes.

VAN SUSTEREN: Did he say why they were released?

TWITTY: No. We didn't get into that, Greta.

VAN SUSTEREN: I mean, when is the last time you spoke to him?

TWITTY: The last time I spoke with him was probably early in June. And I will at least say this much. You know, Oduber and the minister of tourism, are the only two officials that have ever stepped forward to me on this island. And I told him I respected him at least for coming forward to me early on. You know, I was very upset that no one else has made contact with me since, but...

VAN SUSTEREN: I mean, is he going to do anything? Is anything going to change as a result of your meeting?

TWITTY: Oh, I don't know, Greta. The only thing I can do is make it perfectly clear what I will do.

VAN SUSTEREN: And when you made it perfectly clear that you intend to stay, how did he respond? How did he look when you said that?

TWITTY: Well, I think he knows that I'm genuine and I will carry Natalee's voice, if I have to, for the next 40 years. And if it's here in Aruba or if it's United States, I will continue looking for her, Greta.

Natalee Holloway's Father Dave Reflects on Her Case 10 Years Later
05/30/2015 AT 09:10 PM EDT

Natalee Holloway
Family/AP


The world held only possibilities for 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, with graduation behind her and a freshman year ahead at the University of Alabama. But that world was cut short when she disappeared ten years ago on a sun-soaked trip to Aruba with her senior classmates to celebrate their achievement before going their separate ways.

For Natalee, 18, of Mountain Brook, Alabama, the path would end there. On the morning of May 30, 2005, as her friends gathered to fly home after a last night of partying on the island, Natalee was a no-show. Countless accusations, theories and false leads – including the later conviction of a prime suspect for another young woman's murder – have swirled for a decade without Natalee ever being found.

 "The police and the prosecutor's office unfortunately do not have any new tips or leads" about what happened to her, according to a statement the Aruban police shared with PEOPLE.

 ::snipping3::
Almost Justice
Yet both Holloways were sent reeling when van der Sloot, after fleeing Aruba with Beth's money before he could be arrested, traveled to Peru, where was later convicted of killing Stephany Flores Ramirez, 21, on the exact fifth anniversary of Natalee's disappearance. Peru's courts have ruled he must serve his entire 28-year sentence before he can be extradited to the U.S. to face trial for the extortion charge.

"Maybe he's not serving time for our case, but he's serving some time," says Dave Holloway. "He has to sit in a jail cell and think about it. He doesn't have his freedom."

"I'm satisfied where he's at, in one of the worst prison systems in the world."

Learning to Live
In their personal lives, Natalee's parents, each of whom wrote a book about Natalee and their experiences in Aruba, have sought to reconcile the past and present.

Dave, an insurance agent in Meridian, Mississippi, in his second marriage, now has daughters ages 12 and 17.

"I'm not going to allow myself to get back in the mental state that I was in the first three years – stressed out, mind roaming, you can't focus on anything," he says. "I have other children. You've got to strike a balance."

Last December he became a grandfather when Natalee's brother, Matt, 26, welcomed a baby girl, Rylee Ann.

And Beth, of Homewood, Alabama, who divorced her second husband after Natalee's disappearance, is now engaged again, she told B-Metro magazine.

"I'm in a place where I'm moving onward and upward," she said. "I'm not 'over' anything, because you don't get over the loss of a loved one, but you do begin to move on. There's never closure, because it's never over. But you do begin to find joy and peace and happiness." She also has returned to work with children in speech therapy, a job she held with the Mountain Brook schools in 2005.

With van der Sloot imprisoned in Peru on the Flores murder charge in 2010, Beth Holloway made a bold decision to travel there and encounter him face-to-face one more time.

"Once I visited … Joran in prison, and was able to walk away from there, it was almost a freeing experience for me," she told B-Metro. "It allowed me then to move onward …. I hadn't found peace and joy and happiness yet – but I began to recognize it and learned how to embrace it, and then I think it just led to place where I am now, which is a good place."

Says Dave Holloway: "I've always thought an anniversary was something to celebrate." Not so this May 30, which to him marks only the passing of time without knowing what happened, or finally having the chance to bring Natalee home.

"To me," he says, "it just marks 10 years."

Natalee Holloway: Alabama teen disappeared in Aruba 10 years ago today

By Carol Robinson | crobinson@al.com
Email the author | Follow on Twitter
on May 30, 2015 at 8:00 AM, updated May 30, 2015 at 8:02 AM

On May 30, 2005 — 10 years ago today — then-18-year-old Mountain Brook resident Natalee Holloway disappeared in Aruba.

The effort to understand what happened to her continues to this day. Despite some recent reports purporting the emergence of new witnesses and evidence, authorities appear no closer to solving her case today than in September 2005, when all detained suspects were released by Aruban police.

After 10 full years of searching for answers, few new details have been uncovered. However, reporting by AL.com in Aruba led to refreshed connections with Aruban officials, including the island nation's chief prosecutor, as well as informed residents that have monitored the case's every move, such as Aruba's Diaro newspaper editor Jossy Mansur.

"They want to get rid of the case. They want the case closed,'' Mansur said. "They don't want to hear anything about it. It did its damage to the island at that time, and they live with the thought that they don't want the case to be reopened."

Cruise Ship tourist protests in front of Courthouse
DIARIO Aruba
10/20/2005

ORANJESTAD (AAN): An American tourist who arrived Wednesday to our island on board the cruise ship “Volendam” of the Holland America Line, came determined to hold a protest in front of the courthouse.

Dressed in a t-shirt that says in the front: “Give Natalee Justice” and in the back “No Body ≠ No Crime”, the tourist expressed her opinion about Natalee’s case in silence.

Read in our edition from today what motivated Mrs. Maggie to take this type of action.

Lawsuit Kalpoe against Skeeters too expensive
Amigoe.com
10/20/2005

ARUBA – “My client has limited means and cannot just institute a lawsuit in the United States”, said lawyer Rudi Oomen about the rumours that his client Deepak Kalpoe will take legal proceedings against Jamie Skeeters in the States. Skeeters is the man that recorded a conversation with Kalpoe and sold it to Dr. Phil’s TV-show.

Oomen indicated that if there are possibilities to bring charges against Skeeters without it costing too much money, they will definitely consider it. “I’m still looking for those possibilities.”

Wow, hard to believe it has been 10 long years without finding out more about Natalee.  I do believe that Beth had that case pinpointed those first few days.  It's such a shame that the van der Sloot family and Aruba covered the trutch with such subterfuge.  And poor Beth and Dave haven't been able to bring Natalee home to sweet Alabama. It's also such a shame thast Stephany had to die at the hands off Joran before he finally got taken off the streets.  How can all these people live with themselves?

I still find it strange that the day Paulus was arrested that Henninger guy dies in the cemetery supposedly at the hands of his wife.  Rene H ran the incinerator on the island, remember? Too many coincidences for none of it to fit together.

Anyway, my heart goes out to the families of Natalee and her loved ones.

Thanks Red for providing this forum for us for so long.  And to the many brave Monkeys that went ahead of us to their rewards, they are sitting right now in heaven knowing the absolute truth.

Thank you to those who have provided comments regarding the never-ending and tireless efforts to help not just the family of Natalee Holloway, but others as well. Thank to all of you as well and the mods, past and present, and to Klaas.

10 years and I cannot even begin to say what an adventure this has been. Personally I have lost a parent, a sister to cancer and 4 beloved pets along the way, including my precious Phoebe, a Chihuahua mix rescue puppy who I still have not gotten over. I said to both Beth and Dave way back at the beginning of this case that we would never give up. Honestly, I never knew way back when that the disappearance of Natalee Holloway would become so big and take on a life of its own.

We were newbies back then. There was no Facebook, there was no Twitter, there was no Instagram. Technically, at the outset of this case Scared Monkeys had no Forum. We just had the Front Page blog. I can't begin to tell you what it was like to monitor comments back in those days. Refresh ... 50 comments, refresh ... 100 comments. We had to find a way to better organize and centralize the posts, criteria and comments. After pondering high and low ... Enter the Forum ... the Monkey Cage.

As I look back, it would appear that SM was one of the first sites on the web to incorporate a blog and a forum together. Back in 2005, you were either one one the other. Heck, blogs were kinda new at that point.

In 2005 SM was the on-line focal point of the Natalee Holloway case. We had the Front Page crew and the Forum and all the many different theories, opinions and comments. We learned along the way that not all moderators were created equal. Some had their own agenda and brought much drama. Some too much drama and were shown the door. The same could be said for many guests and commenters. One of the interesting things about SM is it was the originator of about 5 or 6 different blogs and forums of those who either had an agenda that was contrary to the goals of SM or those with opinions that were just to hateful or those with egos who just could not be apart of a good thing. BTW, the goal of SM was to find the girl and provide Justice for Natalee.

I had always said that I would release some things I had been holding back only if Natalee had been found or after 10 years. Unfortunately Natalee has not been found yet.

A couple pages back some of you were talking about mental make up of some folks that followed and sleuthed the case. Might I add, rightfully so. Klaas said, "Seriously?  It's one thing sleuthing and supplying information to an investigation and another completely inserting yourself into an investigation."

I could not agree more and it was something that I made a point to always be mindful of when covering and commenting on this case. As much as the "haters" always claimed that we did this or that, Red was this or that. The haters and jealous types made all the claims of what they were doing or would have done. They obviously could not have been more wrong or uninformed. But as Taylor Swift sings, And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate ...Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake ...Shake it off.  And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake ... Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake ... Shake it off, Shake it off.

(http://scaredmonkeys.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Natalee_Beth_Holloway.jpg)

Truth be told, SM never initially contacted any media outlet and said, we have this, or ever requested to be on radio, tv or interviewed for paper media. Not once. It was the producers of all the shows that contacted us or in some cases just stole our stuff with no attribution. SM was actually used as background information on one of the networks where the producers actually refused to name us. You have to remember that the media and internet blogs were so different back then.

The multiple times I was on Court TV was all them coming to me. In fact, I turned down many because they wanted me to show my face. And a little tid bit, After owning TACO Joe on a couple of interviews, he refused to go point - counterpoint with me and only would do interviews after I spoke. What a brave man. A high-priced NYC attorney afraid of little ole RED. What's the matter Joe, couldn't handle the truth, a challenge and some one who knew the facts inside and out, hmm?

But the one thing that I always wanted to maintain was that this was about finding Natalee.

I went back thru all my pictures and I cant really find any of me posing with either Beth or Dave. I think I have a couple of me and Beth at a missing persons event, but that's about it. The searches I went on were not about interjecting one's self into the story. In fact I tried to do everything not to do that. The folks at TES did not need a celeb, they needed a searcher. And that's what they got. When I was there in Aruba, with the support of all of you, we searched the landfill, the Pond, the Bird Sanctuary, the area around the Fisherman's hut and the VDS's neighbors yard just to mention a few.

Later I will be posting some pics from those searches that I do not believe have ever been seen before.

It was always about Natalee and helping the family. The translation of the witness statements were about helping the family. The searches were about helping the family. The tips and advice in dealing with Aruba were about the family. Taking the slings and arrows from the haters to shield the family was about the Holloway/Twitty family.

All the work that all of you have done was about Natalee Holloway and her family ... God Bless you all for that!!!

Thank you to those who have provided comments regarding the never-ending and tireless efforts to help not just the family of Natalee Holloway, but others as well. Thank to all of you as well and the mods, past and present, and to Klaas.

10 years and I cannot even begin to say what an adventure this has been. Personally I have lost a parent, a sister to cancer and 4 beloved pets along the way, including my precious Phoebe, a Chihuahua mix rescue puppy who I still have not gotten over. I said to both Beth and Dave way back at the beginning of this case that we would never give up. Honestly, I never knew way back when that the disappearance of Natalee Holloway would become so big and take on a life of its own.

We were newbies back then. There was no Facebook, there was no Twitter, there was no Instagram. Technically, at the outset of this case Scared Monkeys had no Forum. We just had the Front Page blog. I can't begin to tell you what it was like to monitor comments back in those days. Refresh ... 50 comments, refresh ... 100 comments. We had to find a way to better organize and centralize the posts, criteria and comments. After pondering high and low ... Enter the Forum ... the Monkey Cage.

As I look back, it would appear that SM was one of the first sites on the web to incorporate a blog and a forum together. Back in 2005, you were either one one the other. Heck, blogs were kinda new at that point.

In 2005 SM was the on-line focal point of the Natalee Holloway case. We had the Front Page crew and the Forum and all the many different theories, opinions and comments. We learned along the way that not all moderators were created equal. Some had their own agenda and brought much drama. Some too much drama and were shown the door. The same could be said for many guests and commenters. One of the interesting things about SM is it was the originator of about 5 or 6 different blogs and forums of those who either had an agenda that was contrary to the goals of SM or those with opinions that were just to hateful or those with egos who just could not be apart of a good thing. BTW, the goal of SM was to find the girl and provide Justice for Natalee.


Hear, hear!  Thanks, Red!   ::MonkeyCool:: ::monkeywine2::

With all we've seen and learned over the years, it's hard sometimes to have hope that Natalee will ever come home to her country, or have justice.

But miracles happen every day. 

I'll always have hope, and will continue to pray for Justice for Natalee.   ::MonkeyAngel::

So many roads we've been down, so many seemingly trustworthy people, that were anything but.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

So many with agendas wanted this site gone, and I'm sure many are still spewing their vitriol in various hidey holes.  But that's ok, they're where they belong, and we're still here!   ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyCool::

Here's one of the first reports on Natalee Holloway
By Chris Pettigrew
updated7:19 PM EDT, Sat May 30, 2015

Ten years ago, Natalee Holloway went missing on a beach in Aruba. Her disappearance launched a massive investigation but left behind mysteries that persist today. Here is one of the first reports CNN reporter Karl Penhaul filed on her disappearance.

I think you have alluded that Beth has followed The Monkeys over the years, but I have always been curious if the family has ever taken our own theories/info and pursued them to any degree. I'm particularly interested in the "cage."
I understand if you would rather not comment, but would like to know if we are at least considered. THANK-YOU!!

In my view, one of the immediate things which became rather obvious, was how cowardly those in authority
behaved when the realization became obvious [ to all around the U.S & elsewhere via media ], that serious investigation was needed.  The lack of responsible concern was stunning ... and still is, I might add.  

Is it their culture, there on Aruba, I wonder...  Had Natalee been a native of the Netherlands, would the proper investigation and proper pursuit of the actual truth been honestly pursued?????  

"Truth crushed to Earth shall rise again", Aruba. You can kick the can down the road, but it will, at some point in Time, emerge ...  The truth is sort of like the Law of Gravity, in my view ...

Wreck, I can say this ... all we can do is present them and point them out to the family. Some highlighted and underscored more than others.  ::MonkeyWink::

Of course over the years I have gotten a little frustrated that sometimes they would follows others and stuff that I thought the people were not trust-worthy or were taking them down the primrose path. But in the end, its the family's call not mine.

My thought has always been that pretty much every theory needed to be vetted because the obvious ones were not coming up with any results.

I will say this regarding the water search. SM was supposed to be a part of covering and have a presence prior to it starting. When we got pushed to the side after being told we would have access and provided no reason ... Did not set well and I questioned what was going to happen. Unfortunately many of my concerns came to fruition. Not quite sure how things are mapped and not searched.

But that would not have been the first occurrence that some thing like that happened from the outset of this case.

A post from 2005:

A Note to Beth: Don’t Give Up, Dont Ever Give Up.

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2005/07/15/dont-give-up-dont-ever-give-up/

Quote
I am reminded in reading the following article from the AP, ‘Yellow Ribbons Strung for Missing Teen Fade in Sun, Along With Hopes of Solving Mystery in Aruba’, of a couple of very important lessons that I have learned in life. One being do not ever give up even when times seem difficult and overwhelming. The other is do not ever forget as we will be destined to repeat history. It appears that these lessons need to be taught again after reading this article that borders on the giving up of hope and eager willingness of many especially those quoted in Aruba to just move on and forget. One message is for the Holloway’s and Twitty’s, the other for many in Aruba.

Quote
Let us take a moment and remember what this situation is all about. It is of the vanishing of a teenage girl and the desperate search for her who’s only guilt was going on vacation to celebrate her high school graduation. Remember when you decide to be tough on the family for acting in any manner with the grief they are going through. Remember this when Beth says things out of sheer grief and pain. Remember this when the loss of a child to a parent is more precious an valuable than any economic dollar amount.

    But now, even as she plans to stay on the island indefinitely, she says “she knows my life will never be the same“.

The economic consequences of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway
May 30, 2015
Topics: Macroeconomic policy
 
With the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in 2005 created a media coverage of Aruba. That focus has had significant consequences for the Aruban economy. In a quest for the consequences of its disappearance are economists Hassink, De Kort and Knight said that this had a negative effect on the Aruban economy of between 0.5 and 2.1 percent of the (nominal) Aruban GDP (gross domestic product ) on an annual basis in 2005 and between 2.5 and 4.0 percent of GDP in 2006.

And another from 2005 ... To Beth, one of the strongest individuals I have ever met.

Beth Twitty, EVERYONE’S MOM.

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2005/07/17/twitty-defines-good-mother-one-we-are-all-proud-of/

Quote
    “She learned things before the police did. She knew what to ask”.

    “A mother’s intuition is a powerful thing“.

    Birmingham News; VICKI COVINGTON, Twitty defines ‘good mother’

From the first moment that any of us saw Beth Twitty on TV, we all knew that she was a smart, caring, driven mom that would not be denied in her quest to find Natalee and answers. Many of us know for a fact that if it were not for her perseverance most likely two black security guards would have been convicted of a crime they did not commit and this case would have been brushed away as fast as humanly possible for reasons other than that of correctly solving it.

The Holloway’s and Twitty’s knew from the outset that the only way to maintain pressure on the investigation, probably not as much as what they would later understand, was to keep the story alive in the media. I would also like to say in the blog world as well, as many have cooperated with us to get the story out and to inform those interested readers that have been riveted to the story from “dawn to dusk and dusk to dawn”.
::snipping3::

Quote
Although, I am sure that Beth would trade all comments about herself for Natalee to be found; Beth’s actions, determination and will have inspired us all. One mom’s determination has taken on an island for answers and the truth and for that she deserves our respect, admiration and support. Not only has Natalee become “everyone’s daughter”, Beth Twitty has become “everyone’s mom”.
Beth certainly has our support.

Great day spent with Texas Equusearch - TXEQ at Jackie's Brickhouse today. We were thrilled to be able to present a check for $33,000 dollars to their tremendous cause. Just so happened to be the 10th anniversary of Natalee Holloway's tragic disappearance. Her father, Doug Holloway, was present and we had the opportunity to have him join us in the presentation of our ELK donation. Thank you again to all of the volunteers who make TXEQ the selfless organization that it is.

Hi Monkeys,

I talked to Tim Miller today. They had a TES fundraiser yesterday that brought in some much needed donations. Dave Holloway was at the event and spoke. I had thought I was going to be able to make it to the event, but some things came up that prevented me from doing so. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/texasequusearchandrecovery

Tim said that they have been very busy, especially with the terrible floods that have taken place in Texas and Oklahoma. We chatted about so much. Some can be repeated, some can't.

I asked him about the new witness and his thoughts. Tim's opinion would be just to make certain of the credibility of the story to bring him to Texas and have him pass a polygraph similar to the 48 year old Aruban witness that passed 2 poly's: http://scaredmonkeys.com/2008/09/10/natalee-holloway-investigation-exclusive-tim-miller-of-texas-equusearch-in-aruba-to-meet-with-aleprosecutor-new-witness-that-puts-joran-paulus-van-der-sloot-near-ponds-on-53005/

I have to agree that when trying to get Aruba to budge off of center, one has to have all their ducks in a row and force them to a search by embarrassing them. My comment, not Tim's.

I asked him his opinion. Tim said he would search anywhere, on land or sea but in his opinion, he believes the ocean and crab trap theory.

10 Years Later: Searching in Aruba for Natalee Holloway … The Search of the Aruba Landfill in 2005 for Missing Natalee Holloway (PICS)

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2015/05/31/searching-in-aruba-for-natalee-holloway-the-search-of-the-aruba-landill-in-2005-for-missing-natalee-holloway-pics/

Quote
THE LANDFILL SEARCH FOR NATALEE HOLLOWAY … PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST AND WORST THINGS I HAVE EVER DONE …

On July 23, 2005 Scared Monkeys conducted an interactive, town hall style  on-line interview with Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch, the non-profit search team that had been searching for Natalee Holloway in Aruba since she had gone missing on May 30, 2005.  Texas Equusearch had been flooded with emails of encouragement and tips from the many followers and readers at Scared Monkeys that Tim granted the interview. Interactive web interviews are commonplace today, needless to say they were not in 2005 and the logistics to make it happen was nothing short of a miracle. Following the interview as I thanked Tim Miller on the phone and for TES’s great work in their search for Natalee Holloway, Mr. Miller did an amazing thing … he asked if I wanted to go to Aruba and help search for Natalee. Once we cleared up some logistics and made sure that we could pay for the ticket to Aruba ourselves so not to impose on TES or have them divert any funds from the search on our account, we let it be known that Red was going to Aruba to search with Texas Equusearch.

Quote
From July 30, 2005 … Red searched the landfill from 10 AM till 3 PM. He said it was one of the foulest and god awful smelling places he has ever been in. For three days we searched the landfill and for every hole that was dug to a certain level, some one then had to get into it to do a more fine search with rakes and shovels. The picture below taken by a digital camera, although it looks grainy. That would be because of the constant Aruba trade wind blowing all the sand and crap in the dump around.

And for every hole that was dug like the one above, when we got to what we thought was close enough to the correct proximity of time, some one had to get into the hole and comb throw it to see if we made needed to dig deeper or had to use a rake, shovel and your hands to search. That would be yours truly in the blue shirt in the hole.

Thank you to those who have provided comments regarding the never-ending and tireless efforts to help not just the family of Natalee Holloway, but others as well. Thank to all of you as well and the mods, past and present, and to Klaas.

10 years and I cannot even begin to say what an adventure this has been. Personally I have lost a parent, a sister to cancer and 4 beloved pets along the way, including my precious Phoebe, a Chihuahua mix rescue puppy who I still have not gotten over. I said to both Beth and Dave way back at the beginning of this case that we would never give up. Honestly, I never knew way back when that the disappearance of Natalee Holloway would become so big and take on a life of its own.

We were newbies back then. There was no Facebook, there was no Twitter, there was no Instagram. Technically, at the outset of this case Scared Monkeys had no Forum. We just had the Front Page blog. I can't begin to tell you what it was like to monitor comments back in those days. Refresh ... 50 comments, refresh ... 100 comments. We had to find a way to better organize and centralize the posts, criteria and comments. After pondering high and low ... Enter the Forum ... the Monkey Cage.

As I look back, it would appear that SM was one of the first sites on the web to incorporate a blog and a forum together. Back in 2005, you were either one one the other. Heck, blogs were kinda new at that point.

In 2005 SM was the on-line focal point of the Natalee Holloway case. We had the Front Page crew and the Forum and all the many different theories, opinions and comments. We learned along the way that not all moderators were created equal. Some had their own agenda and brought much drama. Some too much drama and were shown the door. The same could be said for many guests and commenters. One of the interesting things about SM is it was the originator of about 5 or 6 different blogs and forums of those who either had an agenda that was contrary to the goals of SM or those with opinions that were just to hateful or those with egos who just could not be apart of a good thing. BTW, the goal of SM was to find the girl and provide Justice for Natalee.


Red, when I started SM all I had was a phone hookup-no internet.  I would get on line and I knew when I hit refreshed that I had to hangup the phone and try it again.  Trying to stay up to date was a chore.  I kept telling my son I didn't want internet because of the high cost.  Well, I changed my mind and told him to get it installed.

TM, thanks so much for all the pics.  It is just so sad that 10 years later nothing has changed and Natalee hasn't come home yet. 

Red, thanks for your articles.  Just catching up now and reading them.

Natalee Holloway's mom 10 years later: 'Justice is not being served'
Scott Stump
TODAY
2 hours ago

On the 10-year anniversary of Natalee Holloway's disappearance, her mother is still trying to find justice for her daughter — though she says she has found joy.

"It's hard to believe it's been 10 years,'' Beth Holloway told Savannah Guthrie exclusively on TODAY Monday. "It's just amazing how time has gone by. Where I am today is in a good place. I've been able to redefine my life, and I've been able to find joy and happiness through my son, through my son's new family, and my work, so I think I'm in a good place now."
 ::snipping3::
"Justice is being served for the murder of Stephany, but until Joran faces the extortion charges in the U.S., then justice is not being served for Natalee,'' Beth said.
 ::snipping3::
A Dutch citizen, Jurrien de Jong, has come forward claiming that Holloway's body can be found in a crawl space at a Marriott vacation property in Aruba. He told CNN that he witnessed a young man believe to be convicted murderer Joran van der Sloot carrying Holloway's limp body and putting her in the crawl space. De Jong claims he didn't come forward at the time because he was "involved in illegal activities."

"Actually, there is no truth to that story,'' Beth said. "Every time there's an anniversary, whether it's the five-year mark, and now it's the 10-year mark, there's always, I hate to say it, just like some crazies that just come out and they have so placed themselves in Natalee's story. It's empty. There is nothing to that story.

"This particular individual has been around for a while trying to get traction to get attention, but he has no information. I think it just makes me sad that he would just keep trying to insert himself into this role of her disappearance and (that) he has information when it's absolutely untrue."

Yes, she did look great.  I'm sure the frustration is there, but I'm thankful she's able to rise above it and be happy.

Many things were saved haphazardly before I really even knew what I was doing, so credit goes to many others for some pictures and videos.  My sincere apologies, but I don't remember who to give credit to most of the time.

thanks Red for doing this for Natalee.  What horrendous conditions you were in and the risks to your life you took.  Do you ever look back and ask yourself if that was a smart move?

That's kind of an interesting question. I would say the following, I could look back over many things in my life and ask the same question whether it was a smart move or not to do. At the time it seemed like the correct thing to do. One does not generally think of the dangers when you are in the middle of things. If you are asking, looking back on things would I have not searched the landfill my answer would be ... I would have. I might have taken a couple of precautions, but I still would have searched there. We cant always do things because they are safe. Folks who know me know I have always taken the road less traveled. If it meant finding Natalee, i would have been in that landfill for a month.

I do things because they seem like the right thing to do. They may not always be the smartest or safest from people looking in from the outside, but I do it because it feels right to me. If that makes sense.

Yes Ono, it was quite something. Thank God for the prevailing trade wind. To be honest with you all, the hardest part of the search was not being in the landfill or the long hours of searching in the heat or the dodging of the media to be able to search instead of creating a circus ... The hardest part was coming home not having fulfilled the mission and goal of finding Natalee. It is hard to describe but I had to decompress after coming home because I felt as I failed the family.

My rant for the day ....... I'm still livid at the "Persistence." Not only they did purposely ignore/conspire against the whole trap and "mission"  - they took public contributions for a commercial venture. While Kyle Kingman may have been duped, he is just as complicit for going along with it.

I still wonder, and likely always will, whether the FBI ever received the video footage of the rendezvous dive with ALE from Silvetti.  Remember, the dive they scheduled and planned in advance but didn't have a diver rep on board the Persistence to join, ala the missing Tim Trehan (??).  The dive where they bagged all the evidence in the trap?  The dive recorded by the ROV that we have a few screenshots of?  What happened to the full footage - was it ever turned over and analyzed?


[A personal note:  For those unidentified few - Strangeness notwithstanding, I will never apologize for the time and effort I expended with the team at this forum.  They are some of my heroes and I'm not the least bit sorry.]


Peace and prosperity to Natalee's family and friends, always.

Good to see you, Lifesong!   ::HelloKitty::

I don't know why I do it to myself, but I went back and watched the Dateline Persistence episodes a few days ago.  The same questions are still there, one being the one you've mentioned.  I just came away a little angrier about being lied to this time.  Karma's a bi***, that's the only thing that gives me hope.  TES is a wonderful organization, but my respect for the founder is gone.  Period.  Seeing Inside Edition's cameras in the rental car with Dave in Aruba took me right back to that radio show, that I listened to again as well.  Right after listening to that infuriating mess again, I came across the picture of Dave at the TES fundraiser cheek to cheek with Louis Schaefer.  Needless to say, there were no words that could have said what I was feeling, that were appropriate for the forum.  Dave was in the hospital when his good friends Steph and Tim Miller raked Beth over the coals over her going to Peru with Peter DeVries.  All of their accusations and the reasons they gave for having them, and then to see Dave pretty much do the same thing on a fruitless secret mission to Aruba with cameras in tow.  Wonder if Dave ever listened to that show, surely Robin made sure he did?  Has Dave ever considered the possibility that he is being led down these rabbit holes specifically to distract from the TRUTH?  If the media at the 10 year anniversary hadn't been covered in his new hope in a witness that's been around since right after the Persistence mission, (interesting timing, along with the pond witness imo) might someone have been asking WHATEVER HAPPENED WITH THE HUMAN REMAINS THAT THE AMERICANS FOUND OFF THE COAST OF ARUBA IN 2007?  Maybe not, since most of the general public only knows that Dateline said there was nothing there, and off they went on a wild goose chase to Nicaragua!

Now Tim Miller wants to bring Jurrien de Jong to Houston to the same polygrapher as the pond witness?  WHY? 

Aruba needs to give what they have back for a proper burial, cover up the recovery however they want as we all know they will; but give her back!

Natalee will never have justice in Aruba, but as long as she is still "missing" there; Beth has a right to go there if she feels the need.  All of the Aruban trolls saying she should be persona non grata every time she goes over there is revolting.  Why don't we see so much of that when Dave pops in?

I hope if I'm completely off base in my feelings, that one day enough truth will be revealed for me to resolve those feelings. But with what I know right now, that's how I feel.

We have all been WITNESS to the nefarious acts committed by those who say they are seeking justice. Behind a nefarious act, is a nefarious reason for committing that act. The Persistence, Kyle, Tim, Louis, and the others have to live with their decisions and how the maker will view those decisions. I will let God be the judge & jury. But if it was my daughter and this is what people chose to do in her name, I would have my own nefarious acts that I would commit.

Md Humane Society employee accused of embezzling donations for lavish Aruba vacation

Posted: Jun 23, 2015 5:24 AM CDT

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (WJLA) - A Humane Society employee is accused of stealing money from donations meant to help rescue and care for animals to fund an opulent trip to Aruba, authorities said.

Staff at the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) are stunned that employee Atiya Pope, 37, of Manassas, Va., is accused of stealing thousands-of-dollars from the animal rescue foundation she worked for.

According to Montgomery County Police, Pope routinely used her company 'Diners Club International' credit card to make dozens of personal purchases between February 2013 and January 2015. She allegedly dropped $17,307 on 21 Enterprise Rent-A-Car bookings, plus another $13,868 on food, gasoline and even a luxury vacation to the Caribbean island of Aruba. In total, Pope is accused of embezzling $31,175 from her employer.

"She wants to go to Aruba? Then she needs to go with her own money and on her own time. That's what vacation is for," Montgomery County resident Carmen Francis said.

In January, Pope was transferred to a new supervisor. Following a number of late expense reports, that manager did a light audit and uncovered fraudulent charges. Investigators said during a sit down interview with HSUS brass, Pope admitted to embezzling the money, but has not paid back a dime. She has since been terminated.

Pope, who uses her Twitter account to sell woman's high heels, did not reply to ABC 7 News' tweets seeking comment. She was also unavailable by telephone.

Challapalca Prison is located in the southern region of Peru and borders Bolivia. It sits 15,000 feet above sea level with temperatures that range from 46 degrees Fahrenheit during the day to –4 degrees at night year round. Visitors must travel for four hours from the closest town of Puno to reach it. Conditions in the prison have raised concerns from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. There is no electricity or regular running water. Water for the prison is drawn from a well a couple of miles away.

It must not be too bad if he's got his wifey selling smuggled propaganda letters and promoting his upcoming book in the press.

If we're lucky his attention seeking will only gain him some extra time in his frozen hell.

If Ricardo Flores wanted him dead, he'd be dead.

If the prisoners wanted him dead, he'd be dead.

He's obviously still whining.  Maybe we should send him some cheese?   ::monkeywine2::

I just hope every revelation gets him that much more time in Challapalca!   ::boxjoran::

He's been there a year now, and it has been nice not seeing them in the press so much.

Shouldn't he be afraid of someone stealing his book and selling it after they murder him?!!    ::MonkeyWink::

The "I don't want to die" story surely sold faster and for more than just a book promo with a promised chapter about Natalee.  I hope his mother is proud.  They all make me sick!  JMO

It has been about 10 years since Natalee Holloway went missing while on college trip to Aruba.

Today, young women like Holloway, and women of all ages, continue to face danger while out in the community and sometimes even on campus.

This is why the Laura W. Bush Institute for Women's Health and Del Mar College are hosting a Girls Night Out Wednesday to educate women on the best ways to stay physically and mentally safe; a lesson that will be useful while attending college and beyond.

The event will be at Del Mar College Richardson Auditorium and will feature keynote speaker and author Beth Holloway, the mother Natalee Holloway. Natalee Holloway disappeared in 2005.

Beth Holloway will offer advice on making safe travel plans and smart choices. Mary Tripp from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center will talk about the importance of skin care and sun damage control.

Natalee Holloway's Dad Recalls Tense Confrontation with the Father of Joran Van Der Sloot



By Steve Helling @stevehelling

09/17/2015 AT 04:35 PM EDT
In the 10 years since Natalee Holloway vanished while on a senior trip in Aruba, her father has never stopped searching for answers – and still believes that Joran Van der Sloot knows what happened to the 18-year-old.

In a new interview, Dave Holloway opens up about the search for his daughter – and recalls a tense meeting with Joran Van der Sloot's father, Paulus.

Holloway appears on this week's episode of Murder Made Me Famous, a true crime docuseries airing on the Reelz Channel. On the show, he recalls approaching Paulus Van der Sloot outside a courthouse in Aruba. He walked over and introduced himself. The two men shook hands.

"I squeezed his hand as hard as I could, to the point where his arm was shaking and mine was shaking," Holloway tells the show.

But Paulus Van der Sloot was ultimately unhelpful, "I have to do everything I can to help my son," he responded. "And that's what I'm going to do."

"I knew then that he had something to do with Natalee's disappearance," says Holloway.

It's likely that no one will ever know what – if anything – Paulus Van der Sloot was hiding. He died in 2010.

Natalee, I feel you must be sending signs and we are missing them.  Please, don't give up on us.  Lead us to the evidence of the crime that was committed on you that night.  You are no longer suffering and are in a better place, but your Mom needs closure.  She has been so brave and has fought so hard for you.  We are so proud of her as you must be, too.

In Honor of Natalee's 29th Birthday

21 October 2015

For as long as they live, there are going to be times when they need a little extra reassurance ... and just when they need it most, their little girl (now a woman) reaches through that misty barrier of space and time, gently tugs on their hearts, and whispers, 'It's OK, Mom and Dad, I'm here'.

I would have been 29 today, bound by earthly restraints. Do not cry, Mom and Dad, as I am forever, I am eternal, I am ageless.

I am in the blowing wind, the first blades of grass in the spring; the haunting cry of the night owl; the shriek of the hawk; and the silent soaring of the eagle. I am in the tears of the mourning; the laughter of children; the pain of the dying; and the hopelessness of the homeless.

I am the weightless, floating feeling when you close your eyes at night; I am the heaviness of a broken heart ... like an invisible cocoon, I surround you.

I am here in the moonlight, the sunbeam, the dew at dawn ... so do not cry.

Remember me with love and laughter, for I was, I am, and I will always be ... your Natalee.

Aruba: 2 Venezuelans Looking for stealing a million dollars in a casino
By: Panorama Digital | Wednesday, 28/10/2015 3:35 PM

28-10-15.-Aruba police authorities investigating the Excelsior millionaire casino, located in the Holliday Inn hotel in Palm Beach area known as theft. Apparently, two of the three men who underwent a group of employees would have committed the theft of a million dollars, according to information provided by journalist Jenny Oropoeza, through his Twitter account.

Witnesses said armed criminals entered the Monday morning and beat four workers. Then they subtracted the amount mentioned.

The third alleged accomplice is a citizen of the island.

After knowing the fact, the security agencies deployed an operation to catch thieves, even the prime minister of that country, Mike Eman, reportedly ordered to close the border and prevent the exit and entry of Venezuela to apprehend the thugs.

Since December 3 becomes effective the measure, which seeks to promote tourism on the island.

24:08 | December 3, 2015
Since December 3 Colombians no longer need visas to travel to Aruba. The island decided to stop demanding that requirement, in a move intended to boost tourism domestic travelers in this Caribbean destination.

"Colombia is one of our main markets. The growth of Colombian interested in learning or repeat their experience on the island is evidenced by the gradual increase of airlines flying between the two destinations, "said tourism authorities of Aruba and reported that in 2014, 23,836 Colombians visited it known as the Happy Island.

They added that currently exist, week seven direct flights from Avianca from Bogota, in addition to eleven Cup, with connection in Panama City; two weekly flights from Bogota and 4 LAN InselAir flights a week, two from Barranquilla through Curacao and two direct from Medellin.

Now travel to Aruba will be even easier, without formalities and just 1 hour and 20 minutes from Bogota.

Beth Holloway Speaks at 2016 Power of the Purse Luncheon

CAYLA STANLEY

The annual Power of the Purse luncheon may draw in local ladies with its promise of 25 designer handbags up for raffle, but year after year community members return for the truly powerful inspiration of its speakers and mission. The event, held today at the Naples Grande Beach Resort, benefits the Women's Foundation of Collier County. The women's fund of the Community Foundation of Collier County serves to meet the "current and changing needs of women and girls in Collier County through grantmaking."

This year, keynote speaker Beth Holloway steadily took the stage to share her courageous response to the all-too-familiar disappearance of her daughter, Natalee Holloway, on a high school graduation trip in Aruba in 2005.

"After all I have been through, I have every right to crawl in a hole and never come out," Holloway said to a crowd of more than 200. "But that is not how I want to live my life."

After months and months of "more questions and theories being raised than being answered," and finally a chilling confession from a young man that he was responsible for Natalee's death, Beth Holloway reached what she calls her transition from victim to victor. A speech pathologist for individuals with special needs for 25 years, she decided to take her education background and teach personal and travel safety. She also lends support to families of other missing persons and established the Natalee Holloway Resource Center in Washington, D.C.

"What happened to Natalee could happen to anyone," Holloway said. "Natalee could be your loved one, and you could be me." Natalee was a bright young woman with a full ride to college and dreams of attending medical school. She let her guard down for only a moment, her mother says. She wants young women today to know that their safety is up to them, wherever they go.

Bad girls and gone girls: Why the media tired of ‘missing white women
By Paul Farhi December 9

IMO

Natalee won hearts all over the world because of Beth's tenacity.  Aruba wanted it kept quiet, like they do all cases like this that will hurt their precious tourism.  Beth refused to allow Natalee to be swept under the rug like so many others, and she has paid dearly for it every step of the way.  Parents identified with Beth, and her vow to not go home without Natalee in the early days after Natalee's disappearance, and to never give up for all the years that have followed.

I'm tired of hearing/reading why isn't my baby getting the same attention that pretty white girl got when you see no evidence of them making any notable effort at all to get their missing person in the spotlight!  I believe that any parent that works as hard as Beth did, will get the media attention they need for their missing child.  But with it comes scrutiny of their lives too, and I think that is often what keeps more families from fighting like Beth did and getting the attention that they think all missing persons are entitled too.  And that's sad.

And another from 2005 ... To Beth, one of the strongest individuals I have ever met.

Beth Twitty, EVERYONE’S MOM.

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2005/07/17/twitty-defines-good-mother-one-we-are-all-proud-of/

Quote
    “She learned things before the police did. She knew what to ask”.

    “A mother’s intuition is a powerful thing“.

    Birmingham News; VICKI COVINGTON, Twitty defines ‘good mother’

From the first moment that any of us saw Beth Twitty on TV, we all knew that she was a smart, caring, driven mom that would not be denied in her quest to find Natalee and answers. Many of us know for a fact that if it were not for her perseverance most likely two black security guards would have been convicted of a crime they did not commit and this case would have been brushed away as fast as humanly possible for reasons other than that of correctly solving it.

The Holloway’s and Twitty’s knew from the outset that the only way to maintain pressure on the investigation, probably not as much as what they would later understand, was to keep the story alive in the media. I would also like to say in the blog world as well, as many have cooperated with us to get the story out and to inform those interested readers that have been riveted to the story from “dawn to dusk and dusk to dawn”.
::snipping3::

Quote
Although, I am sure that Beth would trade all comments about herself for Natalee to be found; Beth’s actions, determination and will have inspired us all. One mom’s determination has taken on an island for answers and the truth and for that she deserves our respect, admiration and support. Not only has Natalee become “everyone’s daughter”, Beth Twitty has become “everyone’s mom”.
Beth certainly has our support.
::snipping3::

Bring this forward, because I think it's an awesome reminder.

Justice for Natalee!

I agree with you texasmom.  I won't be adding a click to Mr. Farhi's article at the Wapo either.  I've seen enough of that sort of thing to last me a lifetime.

Shark kills ship's captain during Coast Guard rescue near Aruba
Published December 22, 2015
FoxNews.com

A Venezuelan man was attacked by a shark moments before the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard tried to reach him and his crew during a daring rescue operation Saturday after their boat capsized in the waters off Aruba.

Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard spokesman Roderick Gouverneur told The Associated Press that the shark attacked the man as he was clinging to a rescue buoy and a member of the Coast Guard suspended from a helicopter was trying to rescue him. He said the man – who was identified by local media as 58-year-old ship captain Adrian Esteban Rafael, according to the IB Times -- died Saturday on the way to the hospital.

Two other men perished when they sank with the vessel, the Doña Matilde.

 ::snipping3::

Four crew members who survived by holding on to a refrigerator and pallet were hospitalized in Aruba for dehydration and were still recovering Tuesday.

The men were traveling from Bonaire to Aruba to sell whiskey when their boat capsized after it was hit by a wave, Gouverneur said.

Venezuelans often travel on boats laden with goods to sell throughout the Dutch Caribbean islands.

shooting of bouncer????

    I just read on another forum about a bouncer that was shot at a night club recently. Any news about this? I know things happen everywhere but I don't like it when they happen in Aruba.

    I heard that it happened at a club near The Mill. I believe that two bouncers were shot, after an altercation with the shooter. I heard that the shooter came back later and shot both of them.

    Yes, there was a shooting last week that occurred at the nightclub next to the Mill. One bouncer was shot and killed and another bouncer was shot and is in critical condition in the hospital. The police know who the suspect is and are searching the island. The suspect was just released from prison in Aruba after killing someone else by slicing his neck with a knife. He only served 5 years for a murder!

    Unofficially, a coalition of bouncers are looking for this person on their own. They want to find this suspect before the police. (Read between the lines). I have many friends in the Police Department and they are working 24/7 on this suspects capture.

    Yes, I read about it. The shooting happened last week on Monday at the nightclub "The Old Mill". The suspect killed one bouncer and wounded another critically.

    The suspect goes under the name "Yellow". His real name is Milanchelo Trenidad. He was born in Bonair but lives in Aruba. He is armed and dangerous.

    If someone sees him, do NOT approach him. Call the Police at 100 or 11141.

    Here is his picture:

    I read it already last week, shortly after it happened. But did not mention anything here at the forum not to freak anyone out who was on vacation in Aruba.

    The suspect lives in San Nicolas.
There is a 5,000 Florin reward if someone can provide the "golden tip" which leads to his capture.

I think I would like to know about this kind of thing especially if I was on the island at the time it happens.

    This past weekend, I hosted a barbecue of many officers of all ranks at my home (I do this at least once per year) and they were telling me some horror stories of what is occurring in Aruba. The officers want to do their jobs, but their hands are tied. The suspects have too many rights. They are tired of arresting these bad guys only too be let out a short time later. Being in law enforcement for 25+ years myself, I know they are frustrated.

    I agree and understand your sentiment. I have to question what the vacated tourist is suppose to do, when it seems like the infrastructure as a whole, wants to keep these type of crimes as well as others to themselves, protecting the tourism industry that keeps them afloat. Word will get out eventually.

    well that sounds like here. I use to get frustrated. we'd have defendants with rap sheets so long you could wallpaper your living room & they'd get a slap on the wrist.

    its not just Aruba but unfortunately Aruba is small and depends on tourists as their bread & butter. that is not the case here in the states. so their problem is more serious because if they don't get it in check, people will go elsewhere, that's just a fact.

    I've said it for years, the youth of the island idolize american thugs, it's sickening...

    Many of the young locals don't want to work in hotels, they usually start as contractors,
    being paid just over 5.00 an hour. can't blame them.

    A contract employee by law, has to be offered full time after 9 months.
    they never get hired!!!!!!

    In the early years of the expansion of aruba, that generation of youth wanted those hotel jobs.
    that's not the same mindset today, with all the different cultures on the island, beginning
    to have major ramifications, theft, drug addiction, illegals and on and on..

    It's sad if he grew up in Aruba. In my mind it's still a little paradise.

    I wished he would just be a punk. But he crossed the line an committed some serious crimes by killing and seriously wounding people. The bouncer he killed was a nice young kid.

    Thanks for the explanation. I wished there were a solution for the young people who are at risk going down that road.

    Really sad to hear about the shooting and loss of life of a young person on Aruba. I don't understand how someone who committed murder only had to serve five years? When he should still be in prison for another twenty years. Law enforcement on the island really needs to clamp down on criminals, maybe set up road blocks into and out of San Nicholas to find Yellow, or conduct a sweep through the area. I remember someone once telling me that the murder rate on Aruba has always been low, that fatalities from vehicular accidents far outweigh murder rates. Either way, something needs to be done quickly before the tourism trade is affected.

    As for the young people of the island becoming enthralled with the American lifestyle that they see on tv, movies and in music videos; someone needs to sit them down and tell them that, "It's all make believe!" That if they really want to attain or achieve the finer things in life that they will have to work for it, that anything worth earning does not happen overnight. They also need to understand the importance of tourism to their island and why lawlessness can lead to declining numbers. Fingers crossed!!

    As for Rhona, she does not mince words!! I always look forward to her articles. Hard to believe that she is from Israel and not New Jersey or Queens NY.

    Well, I'm more than a little upset that Aruba tries to hide these facts. I live in a resort town, but anyone can go online or watch the news and see the amount of crimes committed on a daily basis here. I'm not proud of it, and I wish I could apologize to everyone who considers our town for vacation and experiences the things like Gaby and others have had happen to them while on vacation in Aruba. We went to Aruba our first time after that girl nobody speaks about disappeared. We still thought it was safe and have felt that way over the years. Now, maybe not so much. It's sad, but if this is the way the authorities in Aruba want to do business, there are a lot of other places to go on vacation... Costa Rica, Belize, Phuket anyone?? Sorry, I'm venting at y'alls expense, I'm stepping of the soapbox now Again, no offense to anyone...

    There are murders that happen everywhere. I think we all freak out (me included) when we realize that our wonderful Island of Aruba,that we all consider paradise, is a little closer to our every day reality than we care to admit. I typically don't do many things in Aruba that I would not do at home, with the exception of walking home at 3:30 am with a grand in my pocket coming back from the casino

    Please make sure that topics stay on track.

    This thread/topic is about the Olde Molen employee being killed and another employee being critically injured and the thug/perp in hiding.

    It is not about Natalee, Costa Rica, Belize or the rampant crime elsewhere in the world.
    I do not want this thread to go so far off topic that we forget the topic, and the negativity and volatility that this topic
    lamentably expounds. It is so very sad.

    Also, with respect to all, please, no "dead horse beating"

    Now, back to diaper duty as i am typing with a 17 day old baby snuggled in the crook of my arm

FORMAL APOLOGY TO FORMER MINISTER RUDY CROES. When Rudy Croes was the minister of Justice he was the punch-line of a lot of jokes, boy, how we used to make fun of him, left, right and middle, criticize his traditional views, his old fashioned ways, and that was just for starters, you know what I mean because you were one of the culprits, laughing your head off every time he came up with a silly rule, and pulled back the public’s free reign. Well, I am hereby apologizing to the Minister for our bad behavior because in retrospect, he was a competent Minister of Justice, we didn’t like everything he had to say, but we had a good thing going as far as public safety, and security. Sure, I like everything about MinJust, his elegant ways and his groomed and cultured demeanor, HOWEVER, I do not like anything I read in the news these days, and nothing I see in the street, and I live in a bubble, so I see very little, but I resent the fact that he does not act again RHD cars, that he does not act against illegal Venezuelan trade – PS the island struggled with 40,387 entrepreneurial Venezuelans last month, that he did not institute the beach policy, and that he cannot impose law and order in one, I repeat just one nigh-clubbing zone, the hell hole we used to call the Olde Molen. Show us a sign that you are alive, demonstrate that you are in charge. You have the resources and you are capable, so please live up to your job requirement, or call Rudy Croes back from retirement!

I’M SEEING RED, LOOKING FOR YELLOW.

It’s been too long. I feel offended as a law-abiding citizen of this country to have this low-life Milanchelo Nelson Antonio Trenidad still walking the streets. The Police should mobilized more resources, organize a never-before man-hunt, and find that needle in our haystack. Aruba is the size of a small village in the Netherlands. How difficult can it possibly be to find someone as colorful and obnoxious as Yellow. You can start by questioning all those stupid adoring females, cooing sweet nothings on his Facebook page. And round up all these other idiots he considers his hood niggas, his bras, his soldiers, his mafia, his OTF’s, Only The Family. Please let me talk to them. I am a mother. I know how to investigate a case, and how to give a thorough third-degree interrogation. We must locate that man, and put him behind bars, so that he understands that his perception as to who rules the streets in mistaken. We really owe it to ourselves to find him, in order to restore our own self-respect. At the 96.5FM radio station yesterday morning, I questioned his crooked, arthritic hands. He is always seen in pictures fingers twisted like pretzels. Then the great DJ Vibe explained to me the Tupac Shakur-wannabe syndrome, that he is flashing the LA WestSide hand-signal, W, with his fingers. Wow, I was astounded, what has that got to do with Aruba? It just seems an empty gesture here, in imitation of another era. I went to his Facebook page motivated by great curiosity. How can one grow up in Aruba in such a sunny, gentle environment, only to become a criminal. And I don’t want to assume the guilt for his growing up, because society is so cruel, or so indifferent. It is not. So how does one grow up here to become a total f*** up? An insecure, loud-mouth wanker with nothing to show but a bad attitude?! I don’t know. But, don’t you think that all that body paint, and the fifteen skull tattoos fooled me. The bravado did not throw me off. I know who you are. A scared little boy, yearning for love and acceptance, going about it with a defiant facial expression, that’s all a cover up, for a tiny wiener, an absent dad, a distracted mom, and fools for friends.


If she really wants to know, maybe she should ask Anita.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

My interview with Natalee Holloway's mother Beth Holloway was truly unforgettable yesterday. Wishing I were with Kevin Jones and Maribeth Jones today....

BUSINESS CLASS
Beth Holloway: Finding strength — and a message — in tragedy

By Randall Kenneth Jones Posted: Yesterday 11:58 a.m.

 ::snipping3::

Achieving success at one's life's work doesn't necessarily lead to a burgeoning income. Nevertheless, what does come in can provide much greater value — a connection to our hearts.

Or, in the case of Beth and Natalee Holloway, the hearts of millions around the world.

At one time, Beth Holloway was a public school speech pathologist for children with special needs and a devoted mother of two. She lived a self-described "quiet, somewhat uneventful life" just outside Birmingham, Alabama. All of this would soon change — under the worst possible circumstances.

In the summer of 2005, Beth's daughter Natalee disappeared on the last night of her senior high graduation trip to Aruba.

The exhaustive search and widespread media coverage made Natalee Holloway a household name. Now living every parent's nightmare, Beth Holloway was thrust out of her Alabamian comfort zone and into the public eye.

As part of her unrelenting search for Natalee, Beth Holloway has been interviewed by countless national and international media. Even Barbara Walters selected her as one of the most fascinating people in 2005.

Although a primary suspect in Natalee's disappearance has long been identified, his name has been intentionally omitted. It's a gross misuse of ink — and justice — to add fuel to his self-perpetuating, attention-starved fire.

Natalee Holloway was declared legally dead in 2012. Her whereabouts is still unknown.

For Beth Holloway, her unexpected life's work may have been tragic in its origin; however, today, business as usual is about as personal as you can get.

"I found myself asking — since I've been a teacher and an educator — what can I do for others? What can I teach others from our tragic life?" says Holloway. "I made the commitment early on in 2005 that I would share Natalee's story in hopes that others can learn how to endure in the face of adversity."

Once a teacher, always a teacher.

Holloway has most assuredly kept that promise. She has delivered her message of hope, faith and personal safety to thousands across the country and recently served as the keynote speaker at the Power of the Purse event hosted by the Women's Foundation of Collier County.

"It was cathartic in the beginning, but I think that's a normal process," suggests Holloway. "For the last eight years, it's been personally rewarding and fulfilling to me to deliver the personal safety message to our young adults. It's very heartwarming to see that Natalee's story makes a difference in their lives — even though many are too young to remember it."

However, to spend one-on-one time with Holloway — to hold her gaze as she discusses her beautiful daughter's hopes, dreams, charm and appeal — is equal parts uplifting and shattering. You feel your heart continue to break, one little piece at a time.

Beth Holloway's life's work is a celebration of all things Natalee — complete with the "what was" in shared equal billing with the "what could have been." A tragedy of a very different kind would emerge if Natalee Holloway, the person, got lost in Natalee Holloway, the story.

"She wanted to go to medical school," recalls Holloway. "I have no doubt she would have made it. She had big plans for her life. She was going to the University of Alabama. She was very disciplined and driven. She had an amazing network of friends. She had an amazing balance in her life."

This interview was easily the most challenging of my career. Mental images of a would-be Dr. Natalee Holloway — juxtaposed against the faces of my own two twenty-something children — created a cerebral rebellion that mocked my ability to focus, to comprehend.

In time my course of action became clear: Assist Beth Holloway in paying it forward — to tell the story of her noble mission. To honor Natalee, her family and the millions who continue to support — and learn from — Natalee's legacy.

Is there a more compelling reason to advocate for the education, welfare and safety of others? To look outside ourselves for purpose, fulfillment and courage — for our life's work?

"There are a lot of transitions that you make in your journey," says Holloway. "For me, there was a transition for victim to victor. You begin to redefine yourself and your life."

For those who have faced any kind of adversity, the spirit of this message could not be more universal.

Regardless of how you choose to learn about — and celebrate — Natalee Holloway: through news updates, "Loving Natalee" (Beth Holloway's best-selling book and subsequent Lifetime movie) or by experiencing Beth Holloway at the podium, Natalee's beloved mother's all-too-personal objective is quite simple: "Each person will take away a little piece of hope that will be applicable in their life."

Even in its profound simplicity, could there be a loftier goal?

As we embark upon a brand new year — one with limitless new possibilities — please keep Natalee Holloway close to your heart.

Her indefatigable mother, Beth Holloway, has provided us with a New Year's Resolution guaranteed to stand the test of time: the ultimate act of "class" — business or otherwise — is to work on behalf of others.

Mark my words, when Cuba really opens the doors to American tourist Aruba will take an even bigger hit. With the airfare and rooms so high, the island changing, crime up, people will start looking elsewhere.

For example, people from the NYC area can get to Cuba in 3 hours for a lot less than the 5/12-6 hour flight to Aruba. Add in Cuba will not be as Americanized as quickly as say Aruba has and you will have paradise a lot closer to home with Cuba still stuck in the 50/60's.

That being said, my family and relatives own up to 10 weeks in Aruba and Aruba will always be our 2nd home and paradise, just not the same, that's all.

Father Natalee Holloway: Let Joran but tasty rot in Peru!
By Michael van der Galien February 8, 2016

The Natalee Holloway's father did not want to ditch all sorts of stories of Joran van der. For him Joran should tasty rot in his Peruvian jail.

Last Saturday against Joran told The Associated Press that he will find the time to open about the disappearance of Natalee. Many people - including Natalee's parents - are convinced that Joran killed her and then hiding her body. Joran has always denied publicly, but at the same time he indicated that he certainly knew a thing or two from.

This weekend he made it clearer than ever before:

"After all my lies and deceit, it is now time for the truth."

By giving openness Joran hopes that he spent the rest of his sentence may serve in the Netherlands, where the stay is much better than a prisoner in Peru. Since life in prison has always been heavy, but certainly for Joran; he's stuck in one of the most notorious prisons in the country and is absolutely hated by his fellow prisoners. So he was stabbed once already and he sits on an isolated ward.

Natalee's father has suddenly Joran why disclosure would give and there absolutely no patience with it:

"He can stay there and rot."

One of the reasons that Natalee's father did not want to make a deal with Joran is that he does not believe the Dutch psychopath finally wants to be really honest. He can see already done that Joran is brought to the Netherlands, but eventually reveals that his "confession" is the greatest nonsense.

There were a few articles in Dutch recently. I'm not that great at translating but to me one seemed to say that Peru no longer lets prisoners go after serving 2/3 of sentence. Now Joran is boohooing because he has to "sit for another 22 years" and the other prisoners want to kill him.

Joran van der Sloot to talk in exchange for a transfer
Sat 02/06/2016 - 10:13 Sandra Cardoen

Joran van der Sloot in Peru is serving a prison sentence of 28 years for the murder of Stephany Flores, will provide full disclosure about the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. But this openness will not just get there. "I want to make a deal with justice," Van der Sloot said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press.
 
The 28-year-old Dutchman is serving in the Challapalca prison. "The legislation in Peru has recently changed, so that the usual one-third remission no law but has become a favor. That favor will never be granted me here, which means I have to sit 22 more years," Van der explains Sloot in the conversation out. He also stressed that he is "not in paradise" and that "other inmates to murder him."

Van der Sloot therefore wants to leave the Peruvian prison. And you can. The Netherlands has a treaty with Peru for two years that the transfer of criminal sentences makes it possible. Van der Sloot will therefore throw a deal. He promises to tell the truth about the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.
 ::snipping3::
Before his transfer, Van der Sloot already written letters to the Dutch Embassy in Peru and to the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But are there no response would come on. "After all my lies and deception is time for the truth," says Van der Sloot.

"Joran must be more than the truth '

At the table with Humberto Tan in RTL Late Night says John van den Heuvel on his interview with Joran van der Sloot in the notorious Challapalka prison in Peru. Joran indicated in that conversation in exchange for a deal with the Dutch judiciary to want to tell the truth about Natalee Holloway. We now know that Joran it so far has not taken so closely with "the truth". Beth Twitty, mother of Natalee Holloway is therefore extremely skeptical.

"He must be more than the truth," said Beth, through Peter R. de Vries, also at the table with Humberto. Peter spoke Beth Twitty last weekend following the story of John van den Heuvel in the Telegraph and RTL Boulevard. "It must be tangible what he says, and verifiable."

calculating
Peter does not believe that Joran has become a different person in the icy prison, as the Dutchman claims convicted of murder itself. "I doubt it, and Beth too. You should also look at what he says not to. If he repents, he does not say that the mother of Natalee finally learns the truth. No, he says, if I can, I am ready to tell my story to the Netherlands. That's exactly the calculated Joran we have known for years, who thinks of himself, and then anything for a while and then there might be someone else. "
 ::snipping3::
Prosecution
John van den Heuvel says Joran does have released a number of verifiable cases. "This weekend I about had contact with the Public Prosecutor in the Antilles, there are to be weighed now."

Ocean
Peter does not think Natalee ever found. "I think the scenario where he dumped her in the ocean. We'll never find anything. It is there 2 kilometers deep "he concludes." If you really are a different person and you're sorry: let it not depend on whether you can serve your sentence in the Netherlands, but be a man and get your story . "

In looking around there were also a couple reports of Joran committing suicide last week, that included pictures of his dead body.  The memorial was supposed to take place the following Wednesday in Amsterdam.

"Spoof" sites from what I've gathered, nothing reputable.

Anything for attention...

Evil Joran Finally Confesses: I Murdered Natalee Holloway!
Watch as hidden cameras capture van der Sloot's jailhouse admissions.

Posted on Mar 16, 2016 @ 7:05AM


High in the mountains of Peru, an operative working on behalf of Radar and The ENQUIRER captured hidden camera footage of a jaw-dropping conversation with van der Sloot and his wife, Leidy, inside the Challapalca Prison, known as the “Alcatraz of the Andes,” on February 1, 2016.

Through a defiant grin, van der Sloot finally opened up about the case like never before.

 ::snipping3::

The former Holloway suspect said in the shocking video, “I think that was one of the worst police investigation that ever took place!”

The undercover reporter clarified, “Are you talking about the Holloway case?”

“Yes yes yes,” van der Sloot insisted. “Yes, this is also where I am guilty and I accept everything that I have done.” (The word “accept” is synonymous with the word “admit” in Dutch.”

Evil Joran Finally Confesses: I Murdered Natalee Holloway!
Watch as hidden cameras capture van der Sloot's jailhouse admissions.

High in the mountains of Peru, an operative working on behalf of Radar and The ENQUIRER captured hidden camera footage of a jaw-dropping conversation with van der Sloot and his wife, Leidy, inside the Challapalca Prison, known as the “Alcatraz of the Andes,” on February 1, 2016.

Through a defiant grin, van der Sloot finally opened up about the case like never before.

 ::snipping3::

The former Holloway suspect said in the shocking video, “I think that was one of the worst police investigation that ever took place!”

The undercover reporter clarified, “Are you talking about the Holloway case?”

“Yes yes yes,” van der Sloot insisted. “Yes, this is also where I am guilty and I accept everything that I have done.” (The word “accept” is synonymous with the word “admit” in Dutch.”

 ::snipping3::

For more of his word-for-word confession, pick up the latest issue of The ENQUIRER, on stands now!

Story developing.

It's everywhere tonight - no wonder I couldn't sleep. Joran is so overwhelmingly evil he is a stain on humanity.

I believe Paulus arranged for disposal of Natalee's body so Joran would have plausible deniability.  That entire island is complicit.  All they cared about was tourism.

The world was stunned today when RadarOnline.com and The National ENQUIRER revealed Joran van der Sloot’s bombshell confession to the murder of Natalee Holloway, more than ten years after her death. Why did he finally come clean with the claims? According to his attorney, it’s NOT to get an extradition deal.

“He’ll first have to serve his time in Peru, before he can arrange deals or something with Aruba,” Altez told a reporter for the TV program and website.

But he also tried to claim that despite van der Sloot’s own comments, he might not be the killer.

“Joran is a storyteller,” he told a reporter for the TV program and website. “He just makes everything up. He will do anything to get in the picture. He just loves to do this to get his attention.”
 ::snipping3::
UPDATE:

In a subsequent statement to Shownieuws, Altz said, “Joran doesn’t admit to anything. … Joran is innocent in this case.”

In video, Joran van der Sloot appears to confess to Natalee Holloway's murder, lawyer denies it
By  Carmen M. Llona/
Published March 17, 2016/
Fox News Latino

Joran van der Sloot’s lawyer is disputing a video posted online Wednesday showing the convicted Dutch killer allegedly admitting to killing U.S. teen Natalee Holloway more than a decade ago in Aruba.

Van der Sloot’s lawyer, Maximo Altez, told Fox News Latino that the admission, recorded surreptitiously in prison during an inmate visit, is a fabrication.

“It’s a total lie, it’s a distorted, the video has been edited to make it look like that,” Altez said.
 ::snipping3::
Altez said his client, whom he is counseling pro-bono, is a “compulsive liar” with a verifiable psychiatric diagnosis.

“He can confess to killing John Kennedy, or John Lennon, that doesn’t mean he did it,” Altez said in a phone interview. “He is a mythomaniac.”

He also said the supposed confession has no legal standing because it was not made before a court of law.
 ::snipping3::
While in prison, Van der Sloot met and married Peruvian Leydi Figueroa and they had a daughter, who is now 18 months old.

Figueroa told Fox News Latino that she was “surprised” to hear about the alleged confession.

“It doesn’t make any sense for Joran to say something like that,” she told FNL on Thursday.

She said she helped coordinate the interview, which she said took place in late January and lasted for about two hours. According to Figueroa, van der Sloot agreed to the interview because “he considered this journalist as family.” She, however, would not name the alleged reporter conducting the interview.

“I am very angry because he shouldn’t have brought a camera inside,” she said, adding that she is planning to file a complaint with the Peruvian Penitentiary Institution (INPE). “They are supposed to check that no cameras get in.”
 ::snipping3::
After multiple legal motions, Altez said he expected his client to be transferred back to a more low-security prison in Lima as soon as May.

Natalee Holloway's parents scoff at latest video 'confession' by Joran van der Sloot

 ::snipping3::

Natalee's father, Dave Holloway, responded this week to the newly-released video. Van der Sloot is motivated by attention and money, he told The Huffington Post. "Tabloids will pay for (his story) because it sells magazines, but that's never printed,'' he said. "They think they've got something when they really don't. A lot of people don't realize that in Aruba, a verbal or recorded confession is not valid, unless it's a statement signed in writing."

John Q. Kelly, the attorney for Natalee's mother, Beth Twitty, said he believes van der Sloot knew he was being videotaped. "He's looking directly into the camera when he speaks and I would venture a guess that it's either a cellmate or a guard who is filming for Joran and selling it and splitting the proceeds with Joran,'' Kelly told The Huffington Post. "This is how he operates. There's no way he's confessing out of the blue to some random person with his wife sitting there. This was for a quick buck. It was all planned and absolutely meaningless."

Afschaffen visum Peru goed voor handel en toerisme  PDF    Afdrukken    E-mail   

zaterdag, 19 maart 2016 12:42 

ORANJESTAD — Ook Nederland heeft maandag de visumplicht voor Peruanen afgeschaft, net als Aruba. Volgens minister Bert Koenders van het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken (BuZa) is dat goed voor de handel. Toerismebureau ATA hoopt op een groeiende toeristenmarkt.

Als voorzitter van de Raad van de Europese Unie ondertekende Koenders de overeenkomst met Peru, schrijft Rechtennieuws.nl dat Peruanen nu zonder visum naar het Schengengebied kunnen reizen. Naast de visumvrijstelling voor Schengen, hebben Peruanen nu ook geen visum meer nodig voor Aruba, Bonaire, Saba, St. Eustatius en St. Maarten. Curaçao zal binnenkort over de visumvrijstelling voor Peruanen beslissen.

Economie

Peru maakt sterke economische en politieke ontwikkelingen door. Nederland, Aruba en St. Maarten zien kansen om de handelsbetrekkingen te bevorderen. Daarnaast streeft Nederland naar versterking van de politieke banden met Peru, ook gezien de constructieve rol van Peru in de regio, de economische groei in het land en de relatieve gelijkgezindheid op thema’s als mensenrechten.

Toerisme

Volgens ATA-directeur Ronella Tjin Asjoe-Croes is de Peruaanse markt vorig jaar met 30 procent gestegen ten opzichte van 2014. “Qua marktaandeel levert het een kleine bijdrage aan het geheel, maar het is een markt met groeipotentie. Voor dit jaar heeft ATA een doelstelling van 50 procent groei vastgesteld.” Daarnaast ziet ATA mogelijkheden voor ‘dual destination’ vakanties (Aruba en Peru) voor de Europese markt. “Voor de Europeanen is het combineren van een land als Peru met een strandvakantie in Aruba aantrekkelijk.”


Google translate

ORANJESTAD - The Netherlands on Monday abolished the visa requirement for Peruvians, like Aruba. According to Minister Bert Koenders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Foreign Affairs) is good for business. Tourist office ATA hopes for a growing tourist market.

Koenders signed as president of the Council of the European Union agreement with Peru, Rechtennieuws.nl writes that Peruvians can now travel without a visa to the Schengen area. In addition to the visa-free Schengen, Peruvians have now also no longer need a visa for Aruba, Bonaire, Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Maarten. Curaçao will soon decide on the exemption of Peruvians.

Economy

Peru makes strong economic and political developments. Netherlands, Aruba and St. Maarten see opportunities to promote trade relations. The Netherlands also seeks to strengthen political ties with Peru, also in view of the constructive role of Peru in the region, economic growth in the country and the relative equal unanimity on issues like human rights.


Tourism

According to ATA Director Ronella Tjin Asjoe-Croes is the Peruvian market rose by 30 percent last year compared to 2014. "In terms of market share gives it a small contribution to the whole, but it is a market with growth potential. ATA has established a target of 50 percent growth for this year. "In addition, ATA sees opportunities for dual destination 'holidays (Aruba and Peru) for the European market. "For Europeans is to combine a country like Peru with a beach holiday in Aruba attractive."



I guess Anita can see her daughter-in-law and granddaughter anytime she wants.

Aruba tourism bites its own tail

ORANJESTAD - Plans for regulation of tourism, there have always been, but never was there considering the amount of hotels and tourists in Aruba. Because tourism is so successful, Aruba is getting fuller and eventually unattractive. There will be less money in the drawer and thus the prosperity declines.  ::snipping3::

Prison Tell-All! Joran Van Der Sloot Promises New Details Of Natalee Holloway Case In 500-Page Book

“The book contains two parts,” he revealed, and begins with the story of what happened to Holloway “of course.”

From there, “I explain how I meet a group of people with whom I visit casinos and so on …” he said. “Gambling has always been my biggest problem.

But overall, he revealed, it will be explosive — and potentially dangerous.

“I think that I’m telling some different aspects that I haven’t told in the past …” he said. “…things that people have never known about.”

For one, he claimed, “people kept sending me money during the entire captivity” as a form of blackmail for keeping their secrets safe.

“Otherwise I will tell people what I know,” he explained, “and they’ve always sent me their money.”


“I’m very sure that when the book gets published, the Justice Dept. would want to know [more about those people],” he bragged. “Not a single doubt in my mind.”

For that reason, however, it could even be deadly.   ::monkeyscissors::

Holloway dismisses van der Sloot's alleged confession
By Ida Brown ibrown@themeridianstar.com Mar 20, 2016

An alleged videotaped confession by Joran van der Sloot, the chief suspect in the disappearance of American teen Natalee Holloway, is nothing more than a moneymaking scheme, according to her father, Meridian resident Dave Holloway.

"He's confessed and said a lot of different things over the years," Holloway said Friday about van der Sloot, a Dutchman raised in Aruba.

"It's all about money with him. I'm pretty sure that was a setup deal; he needed a little cash. Somebody paid him a little bit of money so they can print newspapers and tabloids to get him through the harsh winter he's going to face in prison."

 ::snipping3::

"He is in Challapalca Prison, one of the worst prisons in the world," Holloway said. "They don't have any running water, no electricity, no heating or anything like that. Their winter is starting about now, and some of the temperatures get way below zero. He might be in need of a sleeping bag or something."

While media reports say van der Sloot's recent confession to killing Natalee Holloway is a secret recording, Holloway said he believes otherwise.

"It appears he knows he's being recorded; I just don't know," Holloway said, clearly frustrated with van der Sloot.

"He's confessed before and retracted it," he said. "It's really meaningless; there's nothing they can do. In Aruba – unless you have to have a signed, written statement, and there has to be evidence that he really did it there's nothing that can be done," Holloway said. "Whereas in the United States if you open your mouth and say something, they can hold that against you and prosecute you."

And while he admits such tactics are difficult for the family and reopens old wounds, Holloway continues to seek justice for his daughter Natalee.

March 23, 2016

Delusional Joran Van Der Sloot thinks he is negotiating with Aruba over Holloway death information

Joran van der Sloot has always operated like a manipulator, but now, as he announces that he has been in contact with the governments of Aruba and the United States to figure out a way to get out of his Peruvian prison, better known as the Alcatraz of the Andes. With his 500-page book in hand, Joran van der Sloot says that he will share its contents with the United States and Aruba if they pay up and/or make him a deal.

According to the Inquisitr, Joran van der Sloot says he is willing to share the full details of his confession, and what he did to Natalee Holloway, if someone will pay up so he can take care of the “family” he had while in a prison in Peru. He met his wife, Leidy, while she was visiting her family members in prison, got married, and through conjugal visits, had a daughter. Joran van der Sloot is now 28-years-old, and will get out of the prison in Peru before he is 50-years-old, and if someone pays for van der Sloot’s confession, he will then do time in Aruba, where he claims to have killed Natalee Holloway.

 ::snipping3::
But this sudden confession raises the question, if Joran van der Sloot has always had this information, why did he lie so many times in the past, and why should anyone believe him now? Also, is it likely that van der Sloot will finally implicate the Kalpoe brothers, who either helped him commit the murder or had knowledge of the crime, and also lied to the police in Aruba.

 ::snipping3::



Can't get any more of the article to copy and paste but it is just one more of Joran's schemes.
It does mention the Kalpoe brothers. (added some more - klaasend)

Tell-All Book from Prison, Admission or more BS? … Joran Van Der Sloot Promises New Details Of Natalee Holloway Case In 500-Page Book (VIDEO)
 
WHO THINKS THIS IS JUST MORE BS FROM A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR?

Its been a while since we heard some lies from Joran Vander Sloot, the pathological liar and suspected killer of Natalee Holloway. This was the headline from this week’s  RadarOnline.com and The National Enquirer: “World Exclusive! Evil Joran Finally Confesses ‘I murdered Natalee Holloway!’ It is supposed to be a jailhouse admission from the psychopath that has lied more times that Pinocchio. However, the parents of Natalee Holloway say reports of Joran van der Sloot’s latest “videotaped confession” are nothing more than a publicity stunt and “absolutely meaningless.” I could not agree more.

Joran does not know where Natalee's body is buried. He would have already
made a deal if he did to get himself better circumstances and he has not because he can't back it up. Any deal now would require proof of Natalee's body and Joran knows this. So he just uses the alleged I know something to get himself some face time with anyone outside his prison. It ain't gonna happen - ever. Only person who knows is Paulus and he is dead as a donut.

Prison Tell-All! Joran Van Der Sloot Promises New Details Of Natalee Holloway Case In 500-Page Book

‘The case will be solved, and this will be done!’

Posted on Mar 20, 2016 @ 16:53PM

 ::snipping3::

“The book contains two parts,” he revealed, and begins with the story of what happened to Holloway “of course.”

From there, “I explain how I meet a group of people with whom I visit casinos and so on …” he said. “Gambling has always been my biggest problem.

But overall, he revealed, it will be explosive — and potentially dangerous.

“I think that I’m telling some different aspects that I haven’t told in the past …” he said. “…things that people have never known about.”

For one, he claimed, “people kept sending me money during the entire captivity” as a form of blackmail for keeping their secrets safe.

“Otherwise I will tell people what I know,” he explained, “and they’ve always sent me their money.”


“I’m very sure that when the book gets published, the Justice Dept. would want to know [more about those people],” he bragged. “Not a single doubt in my mind.”

For that reason, however, it could even be deadly.   ::monkeyscissors::




Joran does not know where Natalee's body is buried. He would have already

Interesting how no one wants to do the right thing. That says a lot
about who this person is that Paulus paid off. Who owed Paulus. Judgement
day is coming buddy. Wouldn't it be funny if Joran mentions the guys name
in his stupid book only because he knows the evil doers that were involved with Paulus and some diligent monkey investigated and found out. ha ha ha

So good to see everyone posting - Hi to all!

I will be doubtful about any book by Joran or a ghost writer even being a reality, until a publisher is revealed. Who would buy a manuscript by the biggest all-time liar on the planet anyway?

How can they even corroborate his allegations of the funding supplied to protect others?? So not likely....

He is such a narcissist/sociopath.......just needed another quick hit of five minutes of fame IMO  ::boxjoran::

Hey none! Hope all is good with you and yours.  After all these years, we and many others are still waiting for justice for Natalee.  That hasn't changed. I agree with you, Joran is still "the biggest all time-time liar on the planet".  That hasn't changed.  He's always been such a loser.  In the words of his Momma, he was a "delicious sporter".  Well, Anita was wrong about that.  How about a nacissist/sociopath murderer of young women? !  I truly wish Natalee's loved ones and friends were able to lay her remains to rest in peace.  I'm not sure that will happen in my lifetime, but I would be really, really big if that could become reality.   ::bee::

I'm watching it now, not very far into it yet. 
Heartbreaking clips at the beginning from Stephany's funeral.  ::MonkeyTears::

Seriously?!!!  This convicted murdering animal has actually planned and succeeded in getting his own documentary aired to promote his book from the supposed most notorious prison in Peru?!!!  WTH?!!! 

Almost eleven years later and he is still benefiting from his crimes against Natalee, it makes me sick.

And the manuscript will be kept by Mary Hamer (yes, her again).  Supposedly the only one financially supporting Joran over the last six years...ok whatever.

"Confession" Joran van der sloot draws 1,6 million viewers

The interest for joran van der sloot is still great. The interview that crime reporter John van den heuvel with a hidden camera with van der sloot made in the maximum-Security Prison, remote Thursday night in Peru has over 1,6 million viewers.

Joran Van Der Sloot (28) is a Dutch person has been convicted of the murder of the Peruvian student Stephanie Flores on 30 may 2010 and is suspected of involvement in the disappearance of the American Natalee Holloway on Aruba at 30 May 2005. Van Der Sloot was on June 3, 2010 arrested in Chile and in detention in the Peruvian Capital Lima. On 13 January 2012 he was sentenced to 28 years imprisonment for the murder of Flores, a fine and deportation from Peru after serving his sentence.

Joran van der sloot said from the challapalca-prison - ' ok well the fire of Peru mentioned - that he is responsible for the murder of Natalee Holloway. ,, I'm just as guilty. I accept everything I've done.'' And :,, I've always lied against justice, never told the truth ''. He also said that he's helped during the murder and that there is a lot of things are things that people have never known. ,, How I came to, for example, money.''

There's a Republican before all images from the same interview in which joran claims he's the Peruvian Stephanie Flores has killed because he thought she was an FBI agent was. ,, If you're not a drug user, you can't imagine that... That's the reason that I killed her. How weird as that sounds, isn't that the truth. I'm not denying that, and that I have here also accepted. I just had so good nothing can accept. It helps myself to live with this.''

According to joran is he writing a book which he has already written several version. ,, I've got nothing left to lose. I've written everything down." When and where that will be issued is unknown. He also spoke about Mary Hammer, the American Radiologist that joran still financially supports. She has advised him to book written by him not to publish. The manuscript of the book should be with her in America. In the book, everything would be what joran stand in the last few years have been through, and he will give details about his life, price and details about the murder of Holloway.

 ::snipping3::

They translated Maximo Altez and used Dutch subtitles in part of his interview, so I typed some of them out and ran them through google translate.

Joran bevindt zich nu in een zwaar beveiligde gevangenis. En binnen die gevangenis zit hij geisoleerd.  Dat komt omdat hij problemen had met andere gedetineerden.  In Peru denkt men dat buitenlandse gevangenen veel geld hebben.  En bij Joran van der Sloot dachten ze dat zijn familie miljonair was.  De gevangenen in Challapalca zijn erg gehard en wilden geld van hem.  Maar Joran is iemand die van zich afbijt.  Hij is heel onverschrokken.  Hij vecht terug.  Hij laat niet met zich sollen.  Daarom raakte hij in gevecht en werd hij drie keer in z n rug gestoken.  We vroegen om overplaatsing.  Maar dat werd geweigerd en toen hebben ze hem geisoleerd.  In de gevangenis Challapalca is een speciale ruimte met andere gevangenen.  In deze ruimte bij de keuken zitten maar twee gevangenen.  Joran van der Sloot en 'n adere gevangene.  

Joran is now in a high security prison. And within that prison he's isolated. That's because he had problems with other inmates. In Peru, it is believed that foreign prisoners have lots of money. Ditch and they thought his family was a millionaire by Joran van der. The prisoners in Challapalca are very hardy and wanted money from him. But Joran is someone who stripper himself. He's very fearless. He fights back. He will not be pushed around. That's why he got in a fight and was stabbed three times in z n back. We asked for a transfer. But were refused and then they isolated him. In prison Challapalca is a special area with other prisoners. In this space in the kitchen are only two prisoners. Joran van der Sloot and one posted to another prisoner.

(edit to add more)

Het is een heel zware reis.  Het is zes uur rijden met de auto.  De gevangenis bevindt zich 5500 meter boven de zeespiegel.  Daarom hebben we er problemen met ademhalen.  Het is een zwaar beveiligde gevangenis, dus de ingangscontrole is heel streng.  We zullen een heel andere man aantreffen.  Het is een heel ander persoon dan de man die jullie kennen.  Hij is veel volwassener geworden.  Hej heeft meer verantwoordelijkheden door z'n gezin.  Hij is veranderd.  Zijn persoonlijkheid is helemaal veranderd.  

It is a very difficult journey. It is six hours away by car. The prison is located 5500 meters above sea level. That's why we have trouble breathing. It is a high security prison, so the entry control is very strict. We will see a very different man. It's a completely different person than the man you know. He has become more mature. He has more responsibilities by his family. He has changed. His personality has changed completely.

(another edit to add more)

Joran is veroordeeld en moet de straf nu accepteren.  Hij is in hoger beroep gegaan en nu is 't afgelopen.  Vanwege de gevangenisstraf die Joran is opgelegd, 28 jaar...  Kan een derde van de straf kwijtgescholden worden.  Maar dat is een gunst, geen recht.  En de wet is heel streng voor mensen...  die veroordeeld zijn voor een misdaad als die van Joran.  Dan kennen ze die gunst niet toe.  Tegelijkertijd is de vader van het slachtoffer...  de heer Ricardo Flores, de vader van Stephany Flores...  tegen wie hij die misdaad heeft begaan...  iemand die in Peru veel invloed heeft.  Hij zal ervoor zorgen dat hem geen gunsten worden verleend.  Hij is ons grootste obstakel.  

Joran has been convicted and the punishment must accept now. He appealed and now it 's over. Due to the imprisonment Joran was imposed 28 years ... Can a third of the sentence be remitted. But that is a favor, not a right. And the law is very strict for people ... who have been convicted of a crime as that of Joran. They know that does not favor increasing. At the same time the father of the victim ... Mr Ricardo Flores, father of Stephany Flores ... against whom he committed this crime ... someone who has a lot of influence in Peru. He will ensure that he be granted any favors. He is our biggest obstacle.

(another edit to add more)

Hoe Joran en Leidy elkaar leerden kennen?  Ze leerden elkaar kennen toen Leidy een familielid bezocht.  Daarom hebben ze elkaar in de gevangenis ontmoet, in Castro Castro.  Het is een liefdevolle relatie.  Ze houden van elkaar en communiceren veel.  Leidy staat altijd voor Joran klaar, bijvoorbeeld als hij ziek is.  Ze helpt hem met wettelijke documenten.  Ze doet altijd alles om hem te helpen.  Ja, ongeveer een maand geleden kwam Leidy met haar op bezoek.  Voor Joran was dat heel emotioneel, volgens de gevangenismedewerkers.  Joran werd heel emotioneel toen hij zijn dochter zag.  Hij heeft z'n dochter gezien en is daar heel blij mee.

How Joran and Leidy met? They met when Leidy visited a relative. Therefore, they met in prison Castro Castro. It is a loving relationship. They love each other and communicate a lot. Leidy is always ready for Joran, for example, if he is sick. She helps him with legal documents. They always do anything to help him. Yeah, about a month ago Leidy came to visit her. For Joran was very emotional, according to the prison staff. Joran was very emotional when he saw his daughter. He saw his daughter and was very happy with that.

Sounds to me like more special treatment for the inmate that the authorities determined stabbed himself for a transfer?  If it's really in the kitchen area, the monster is probably staying warm too!

Curtain opens for student's original musical "Holloway"
By Keaton Lane, keaton.lane@iowastatedaily.com  Updated Apr 28, 2016   0

The curtain is rising on a new, original musical written by an Iowa State student.

“Holloway” is a new musical written and composed by Joseph Smith, senior in performing arts. The show follows the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway while on a school trip to Aruba and the effect that her disappearance had on her friends and family.

“Back in high school I was aware of the case and of her disappearance, and I was always intrigued and wasn’t quite sure why,” Smith said. “I thought of the case again two years ago. After writing the first song I realized I needed to write this, because I had a voice and a story that I wanted to share, and I had something to give back to the world.”

Smith received a grant through the Focus: Artist Grant Program, which gave him the resources necessary to produce a stage reading of the musical. The reading involves Iowa State students as well as actors from the Ames and Des Moines area.

Venezuela PDVSA unit eyes up to $600 mln to overhaul Aruba refinery

CARACAS, JUNE 22 | BY ALEXANDRA ULMER

Citgo Petroleum, the U.S. unit of Venezuela's PDVSA, will likely invest about $400 million to $600 million to overhaul Aruba's refinery under a 25-year lease with the Caribbean island's government, a top PDVSA official said on Wednesday.

Citgo earlier this month signed the agreement to reactivate the 235,000-barrel-per-day refinery, which would help process the South American's oil producer's extra-heavy crude.

The previous operator, Valero Energy Corp, idled the refinery in 2012 because of its low profit.

"We're eyeing investments in the refinery that would be more or less between $400 (million) and $600 million," Jesus Luongo, vice president of refining, trade and supply, said in an interview on the sidelines of an oil workers' rally in support of the leftist government of Nicolas Maduro.

PDVSA President Eulogio Del Pino told Reuters earlier this month that Citgo was raising money from international banks to fund the project.

Luongo declined to say how much Citgo was seeking.

PDVSA's finances have declined with the slump in oil prices, but Citgo enjoyed some relief last year from higher refining margins.

The Aruba complex could be up and running again within 1-1/2 to two years, Citgo has said.

Venezuela is also mulling building a gas pipeline from the Paraguana peninsula northward to the Aruba refinery, Luongo added.

When I read it, I was imagining a much larger influx of Venezuelans to the island.  Considering what I recall from posting in the murder/crime thread for years, that can't be a good thing imo.  But I don't really care either.

From the twitter posts referenced in the article, this is from the end of May.

At Least 100 Venezuelans Deported From Aruba

At least 10 Venezuelans without papers were arrested early on Saturday in Aruba by the authorities, who have seen illegal migration has intensified in recent months against the rampant economic and supply crises plaguing the oil - rich nation.

Venezuelans arrested on Saturday were in the local "La Silla Bar" and will be deported, as reported by the journalist Yoli Ramirez. In addition, that same Saturday, in other procedures, 22 other people, mostly Venezuelan, were also arrested for not having residence permit on the island.

In recent days some 100 Venezuelans have been detained and deported for not having papers in order to live or work in Aruba, closes Ramirez.

Aruba at heightened state of alert due to political situation in Venezuela
Published on May 14, 2016

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao -- According to a report by the Aruban news site NoticiaCla.com in connection with the current political situation in Venezuela, where protests and civil unrest are a concern, the Aruba Police Force, together with other relevant authorities, has decided to raise the state of alert, especially on the coast of the island.

In an official statement, authorities indicated that steps have been taken to prevent groups, either out of fear or for a better life, crossing the sea to Aruba.

The public has already noticed the heightened state of alert through more police patrols on the coast. Besides the police patrols on land there will be more patrols on the water by the police, in cooperation with the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard has now increased its presence in Aruban waters.

Although the intensified police controls apply to the entire Aruban coast, there will be extra attention to well-known places like Arashi, the dog cemetery in the Lago Colony and nearby beaches like Baby Beach and Rodgers Beach.

Parliaments to ask for Venezuela action plan

02 JUNE 2016

THE HAGUE--The Parliaments of the Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao and St. Maarten will be sending a request to the Kingdom Government to draft a plan of action in case of a full-blown crisis in Venezuela with the associated mass migration to the Leeward Islands.
The four Parliaments, currently meeting in The Hague as part of the Inter-Parliamentary Consultation for the Kingdom IPKO, expressed their deep concern about the crisis in Venezuela. The effects on especially nearby Aruba, and to a lesser extent Curaçao and Bonaire, of a mass migration in the form of refugees would be detrimental.

Aruba, in fact, is already feeling the effects of the Venezuela crisis on a daily basis, said Member of the Aruba Parliament Rene Herdé of the AVP party. Crime has not only been on the rise in Venezuela, but criminals from the South American country have extended their working field to Aruba. “These semi-tourists are committing armed robberies and other crimes,” said Herdé.

 ::snipping3::

Herdé of Aruba concurred and said that people fleeing Venezuela would opt to come to the islands because there were no other possibilities since the borders with Guyana, Brazil and Colombia are closed. Aruba will surely help the refugee Venezuelans, said Herdé. “They are our friend, our brothers. We are affiliated.”

However, Aruba doesn’t have the physical and organizational capacity to provide shelter for a very large number of Venezuelan refugees, said Herdé. He said Aruba would want to send these people on to other countries such as the United States (US) and Panama.

Member of the Second Chamber André Bosman of the liberal democratic VVD party urged the countries to secure a legal basis on how to deal with refugees. He suggested introducing a visa obligation for Venezuelans who want to visit the islands in order to keep out refugees at the border.

Both Aruba and Curaçao objected to this suggestion of a visa policy. “This is a sovereign matter,” said Andin Bikker of Aruba’s PDR party. “This will also close the doors for wealthy tourists and potential investors. Besides, a visa is not going to stop a refugee. Having a visa policy is not the silver bullet,” said Alex Rosaria of Curaçao’s PAIS party.

Philips Animal Garden in Aruba

Welcome all Animal Lovers.

My name is Mark; I have lived in Aruba for over 15 years. I currently help operate the refreshment center at Philips Animal Garden and manage the Facebook and trip advisor postings for Philips Animal Garden. During my time here in Aruba I have been involved with many of the animal rescue organizations in one fashion or another, from raising money for a cat hotel to helping catch the invasive boas to rescuing street dogs to fostering more than 13 cats at one time. Of all the groups I have interacted with Philips Animal Garden is doing the work that no one else can or will do.

Philip Merryweather, founder of Philips Animal Garden has been helping care for animals almost his entire life. From saving abandoned puppy litters and finding them all forever homes and caring for sick birds like egrets & pelicans until they are well enough to be released back into the wild doing all this starting in his pre-teens.

Over the years many of the animals he rescued could not be sent back to the wild or released as by doing this would mean they would not survive. So he started building a small garden on his family’s property to house and care for these different animals, all funded out of his own pocket from his salary as a restaurant server and eventually manager.

A couple of his past rescues, like the baby calf he found dehydrated and trapped in cactus 10 years ago while hiking on the far side of the island, he brought the calf home and bottle feed until it was strong and able to take solid food, today that calf is over 1000 pounds of happy healthy steer.

Another which is still talked about here on the island is how he trapped an ocelot that had escaped from someone’s home that was keeping it as a pet, while others were hunting the animal to kill it, Philip used the urine of another ocelot he had already saved from an abusive owner and was able to trap it, saving it from being killed by others as a danger to the population.

About 6 years ago, a zoo that was on the island collapsed and most of the large animals were sold off to other zoos in South America and the Caribbean, however many large older mammals where left and abandoned to fend for themselves. Philip stepped in and saw to it that all of these animals where fed and watered and cared for and moved them to his garden once he was able to complete the building of safe resident areas for them, all this out of his own pocket!!!!

Five years ago he opened his garden, Philips Animal Garden to the public, as he could no longer fund his passion for animals out of his own pocket, excepting donations at the entrance to help pay for the care of his rescued residents. As word spread of Philip and his garden and his passion for all animals regardless of species, more calls came in asking for help, Philip being Philip never said no to an animal in need. We to this day receive calls daily to help with an abandon baby goat or to rescue someone from a boa that has wondered into their yard or receiving a litter of puppies that was found tossed away like so much trash.

Two and half years ago, he had to start a small tour company Around Aruba Tours to help offset the growing costs to maintain the garden and the rescued residents, all profits from his tour company go back into Philips Animal Garden.

Just the water bill runs more than $100 per day to keep the residents hydrated and the garden clean.

Some of the more recent rescues, Korra a Howler monkey that was found in a 3’ x 3’ cage in someone’s home where he had been kept for more than 5 years or Sam the Jaguarondi that was someone’s “pet” until they could no longer care for it or Coco the crocodile that was found on a disabled boat off the coast of Aruba bound with duct tape heading to god only knows where from somewhere in South America.

The above photos are Korra & Sam.

One of the litters of puppy’s  (6) that we rescued this past Oct. included one little guy, who I named Trey. When the litter came to us they were about 2 weeks old. Trey’s front left paw had been crushed somehow to the point that it was rotting and had to be removed if he was to have any chance to survive. Today at around 11 weeks old Trey is running and enjoying his forever home, his life would have ended back in Oct. if not for the extreme efforts Philip and our team put forward to take care of him.

This is Trey the day him and his litter mates were rescued.

Philip works tirelessly from well before sun rise to late into the night 7 days a week working to make better lives for all animals that needs his help.

The above just scratches the surface of all the great things that Philips Animal Garden has been able to do for all animal species that needs our help. I will be more than happy to provide more detail if you need.

With this campaign we are hoping to raise funds for three specific things:

To raise funds to purchase materials to build forever homes for Sam the Jaguarondi, who is currently in a temporary cage we normally use for rescued cats and kittens that we put up for adoption and for Korra, the Howler monkey who is now in a much bigger area then he lived in for more than 5 years, however this area is far too small for him to live in as a forever home. His current area is approx. 10 feet by 30 feet and 8 feet high.

The cost of materials only for these two areas is $45,000 for us to buy and have shipped to the island.

The third project we are hoping to raise funds for is one that we have already started, to rescue all the homeless street dogs on the island and have them cleaned up and treated for any illness they may have, then neuter them and return them to the streets.

A conservative estimate of the number of homeless dogs on the island is over 3000. With an average life span of less than 6 years, however during that 6 years they can reproduce many more potential homeless puppies, sadly most of these dogs can never find a forever home. Our program is aimed at stopping the cycle of homeless dogs breeding more homeless dogs, a long term solution and one that cannot be done in a week or month or year. This is a program that we will be doing daily if we are able to raise enough funds until we have it under control.

Our cost per dog averages $90.00.

We are hoping to raise $30,000 to give us the opportunity to not have to sit and wait until we have a few extra dollars in the bank, which is what we do now. If we have say $300 available we will go and find 3 or 4 homeless dogs.

With donations specifically designated for this rescue mission we can go out and really have an impact by finding a dozen or more dogs a week.

Our funding needs are urgent, the sooner we are able to rasie the money needed the sooner we can provide the forever homes for Korra & Sam and start making a positive impact on helping all the homeless dogs on the island.

Philip and all of us who share his passion for all animals would be forever grateful to be able to make these three projects come to pass, knowing that we were able to provide safe, healthy lives for all the animals we will be able help have much better lives than they do now.

I know this was long, but I felt the store needed to be told.

We thank you for taking the time to read our story and thank you in advance for donating, if you are not able to donate, we understand and ask that you please share our story and our need with as many people as you can.

Update 1
6 months ago
 
I want to thank all of you who have donated so far to help us fund our animal rescue habitat’s much needed projects.
Right after I started this gofundme page on Christmas Eve, Philip did another amazing rescue, a momma and her 11 puppies. For details of this rescue visit Philips Animal Gardens facebook page.
I am a little sad that with all of the people who follow and are friends of Philip, Philips Animal Garden and myself we have only been able raise a very small part of what is needed.
Please keep in mind that Philips Animal Garden is operated 100% from donations so every dollar helps.
Thank you all again
Help spread the word!

Really secure prisons in Peru.

Six prisoners escape from La Oroya Prison

5 Hours ago



Alex Mann

On Sunday afternoon six heavily armed prisoners escaped from the La Oroya prison, in the Junín region.

It appears as though the prisoners got their weapons from visitors. How is this possible? La Oroya houses 119 inmates, is a minimum security penitentiary, and has very lenient regulations for visiting.

Using their recently acquired weapons the six prisoners were able to reduce prison guards before fleeing the prison facility.

As reported by El Comercio, “The initial report I have is that at approximately 3 p.m. took advantage of a visit,” said Julio Magán, head of the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE).

D66, VVD very concerned about CITGO Aruba deal

25 JUNE 2016

THE HAGUE--The Dutch Government will shortly provide an extensive update to the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament on the recent deal between Aruba and CITGO Petroleum to reopen and operate the refinery in San Nicolas.

Dutch Minister of Home Affairs and Kingdom Relations Ronald Plasterk made this promise during a debate with the Second Chamber’s Permanent Committee for Kingdom Relations on Thursday on the insistence of Member of Parliament (MP) Alexander Pechtold of the Democratic Party D66.

Pechtold and his colleague André Bosman of the liberal democratic VVD party questioned the deal between the Aruba Government and CITGO, the United States unit of Venezuela’s state-owned petroleum company PdVSA, signed in Caracas earlier this month.

Based on the agreement, CITGO will likely invest about US $400 million to US $600 million to overhaul Aruba’s refinery under a 25-year lease. The Aruba complex could be up and running again within one and a half to two years, CITGO has said.

Venezuela is also mulling building a gas pipeline from the Paraguana peninsula northward to the Aruba refinery. Running the facility on gas will make the refinery more environmentally friendly. Constructing the gas pipeline is a costly affair for which the finances still have to be secured.

Both Pechtold and Bosman referred to the highly unstable situation in neighbouring Venezuela. “The country is on the verge of a civil war,” said Pechtold, who wondered how this would affect the reopening of the Aruba refinery, the associated investments and the plans to build a gas pipeline.

“Of course the reopening of the refinery would be a big boost for Aruba’s refinery, but there are also nature and environmental risks. Besides, there are doubts whether this is financially sound,” said Pechtold, who questioned Venezuela’s financial-economic stability. “Who will pay for the gas pipeline?

Besides no one knows for certain that the facility will indeed run on gas in the future,” said Pechtold.

Bosman also inquired about the cost of the pipeline. “The construction of a pipeline is a costly affair, and I am not even talking about the maintenance. All that for an inefficient refinery? I am very worried whether this project is financially feasible. Looking ahead, I see a hole of several billions. Who will pay for that? Certainly not the Dutch taxpayer,” said Bosman.

In answering the concerns and questions posed, Minister Plasterk emphasized that the refinery was first and foremost an autonomous affair of Country Aruba. This also counted for the financial aspects of the reopening of the refinery. He said that as far as he knew the deal was not entirely completed and that the finances for the projected gas pipeline and the consequences for the environment were not clear as yet.

Pechtold and Bosman expressed great concerns about the project. “A bit shady. There are simply too many things that are unclear. I want to know whether there is a deal or not, and I want to know the details of this deal,” said Bosman.

“This is getting me a bit nervous,” said Pechtold, who asked Plasterk if he was willing to look over Aruba’s shoulder in their dealings with this highly complex affair. “The contract involves an extensive document of some 2,000 pages.”

A proactive approach in this regard from the side of the Netherlands would be very wise, also because the complexity of the project, legal, geo-politically and otherwise, would be too large for Aruba to handle on its own, said Pechtold. “I want to prevent that in two to three years we will all say, we should have kept better check.”

Plasterk promised that he would discuss Pechtold’s request for voluntary expert assistance with the Aruba Government. He also pledged to draft a letter to the Second Chamber before the summer recess with the information that he had concerning the CITGO deal.

Pechtold, who pressed Plasterk for this letter, asked that the document contain a sort of “quick scan” with not only information about the deal, but also which consequences the situation in Venezuela could have on the Aruba refinery. “I want to be informed broadly, because I am not at all comfortable on this matter.”

New Course Prepares Future Visitor Industry Leaders for Disasters
The course aims to teach students new and innovative ways to face 21st-century crises ranging from pandemics and natural disasters to economic undulations, terrorism, crime and ocean safety.

Allison Schaefers, The Honolulu Star-Advertiser | July 5, 2016

 ::snipping3::

“It is our goal at KCC to educate our students with the knowledge of the importance of security and safety prior to entering the workforce. As the future leaders of hospitality and tourism, they must know that tourism and security must be partners,” said Rosalie Fernandez, the KCC associate professor and program coordinator working to develop the course curriculum.

As one of the world’s top leisure destinations, Tarlow said Hawaii needs to be mindful of becoming complacent.

“We do have to make the assumption that when people go on vacation they assume that you are there to take care of them,” Tarlow said.“It’s very important in tourism to show people that you care.”

Tarlow said the Hawaii Visitor Industry Security Association and the Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii (VASH) have helped mitigate damage from negative visitor experiences since the late 1990s, when crime in Waikiki was at its zenith and a high rate of crystal meth use was creating widespread problems.

“Crime had gotten to the point where the Japanese consul general was going to go on TV and recommend that Waikiki was unsafe for Japanese travelers,” he said. “In those days there was a lot of purse snatching, pickpocketing, car break-ins, prostitution and street performers that would harass and rip off tourists.”

Hawaii is not without such crime today, but Tarlow said VASH successfully works with the Honolulu Police Department, which has a substation in Waikiki.

“I speak about VASH all over the world,” Tarlow said. “Nobody does a better job taking care of someone when something goes wrong. In today’s world people aren’t afraid of security, they are looking for it.”

Jessica Lani Rich, executive director of VASH, said despite improved security for tourists, the agency last year handled 890 incidents involving 2,123 people from more than 25 countries. Most of the victims — nearly 59 percent — were referred to the agency by county police.

“Our visitors need to be aware that even when they are on vacation, they need to keep their guard up,” Rich said. “We deal with a lot of thefts on the beach and car break-ins, but we also see victims of vacation rental scams and other more serious incidents like assaults and drownings.”

Nearly a quarter of VASH’s 2015 cases involved theft. Unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle and medical emergencies were the next-largest categories, with each responsible for nearly 17 percent of VASH cases. Robbery was the cause of nearly 6 percent of VASH’s cases.

Virtually the only major crime that VASH didn’t have to respond to last year was kidnapping. The agency helped visitors who complained that they had been victims of assault, sex crimes, terroristic threats, auto theft, domestic abuse, attempted murder and human trafficking. They also handled reports of missing persons and auto accidents.

VASH handled 154 deaths last year. No homicides or auto deaths were reported. Natural causes accounted for more than a third of the cases; however, the highest death count came from water/ocean incidents, which killed 62 people, or 40 percent of the total.

“People don’t expect bad things to happen in paradise,” Rich said.

That’s why Tarlow said Hawaii’s visitor industry and its future leaders need to be prepared.

“We will never teach our visitors how to take care of themselves. The word ‘vacation’ is derived from the French word ‘vacance,’ which means to empty the mind,” said Tarlow, who advised the Caribbean island of Aruba on how to restore tourism after the disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway.

Still, it only takes one incident to destroy a tourism industry, Tarlow said.

“The public is more forgiving of a natural event than a man-made one,” he said. “Ten years later Aruba is still dealing with the abuse and neglect that came out of the Natalee Holloway incident. They’ve only started to come back.”

Tacna: Mayors ask Pedro Pablo Kuczynski close Challapalca wave of insecurity
Saturday July 2, 2016 | 7:59

Tacna. The mayor of Tacna, Luis Torres, and district mayors of New City, Pocollay and Natividad sent a petition to President-elect Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, requesting that the Challapalca prison, located in the mountains of the Tacna region is closed. To this request leaders from different locations joined Puno.

They claim that due to the presence of those close to the 144 highly dangerous inmates held in this prison, insecurity has increased alarmingly in both regions.

"To survive (relatives) carry out illegal activities affecting the peace," says the document.

In the Challapalca prison, which is located at 4,800 meters, they are held Joran van der Sloot, Gerald Oropeza, Renzo Espinoza, alias 'Renzito' Carlos Timaná, among others.

Perú21 communicated with the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE) to its position on the request of the mayors, however, representatives of the Office Imaging indicated that they will not comment until receiving the formal request of the authorities.

HLN’s Nancy Grace leaving her legal show

By Associated Press
Published: July 8, 2016, 5:51 AM
NEW YORK — Tough-talking former prosecutor Nancy Grace is leaving her prime-time show on the HLN network in October.

The CNN sister station said Grace told her staff Thursday that her show would be ending after 12 years. Grace, 56, said in a statement that she’ll be leaving “with a full heart and endless gratitude.”

 ::snipping3::

Grace, who turned to law after her fiancee was murdered in college, worked in an Atlanta-area district attorney’s office and became a go-to television personality commenting on trials in the post-O.J. Simpson era. Her HLN show focused on missing children and crime victims.

Her popularity boomed when missing children cases such as Caylee Anthony, Natalee Holloway and Elizabeth Smart dominated mainstream news. But fewer of those cases have broken through to wide attention in recent years. In the age demographic that TV executives seek, her audience dropped to a third or quarter what it was in its peak years.

Grace said the show “created an unparalleled platform that gave crime victims a voice and succeeded in helping to find missing people and solve unsolved homicides.”

I agree about Nancy.  She does care, and I'll miss her.

This psychic came to mind, I think she's the one that went to KIA with Dave iirc.

I met Mary Ann Morgan under the most difficult of circumstances. She was brought to Aruba with the Texas Equusearch Group to search for my daughter Natalee Holloway, who went missing on her school trip. She was introduced as a psychic medium that had information about Natalee. At the onset of our meeting Mary Ann provided me with detailed information that was obscure in nature. No one had access to this information but immediate family. To this date I have told only a select few people these details. Portions of the information was verifiable immediately, other information we believe has to come to fruition through time .

I have to note that I am a devoted Christian and I believe Mary Ann’s gifts are from GOD. Over the past year we have spent a great deal of time speaking about the difficulties surrounding this case with all its’ ups and downs. Mary Ann maintains integrity while using her gifts for counseling. Mary Ann is the only intuitive that has worked actively with my family on Natalee’s disappearance. She is the only intuitive that I have approvingly appeared with on Television, The Abrams report. I am glad to say that Robin and I refer to Mary Ann as our friend. I know she feels the same way."

Sincerely,
Dave Holloway
Loving father of Natalee Holloway

TRANSCRIPT
Keeping an open mind in desperate times can be as essential as keeping faith.  Together with officials in Aruba, Natalee Holloway's family turned to a higher power to help find the missing teen.
“Natalee contacted me several weeks ago and I spoke to her briefly in the middle of the night," says Mary Ann Morgan, a medium helping on the case.  "She gave me seven pages of detailed notes and from those, she gave a message to her father, a message to her mother, details about how, when, why, what and where everything happened and that's what I took with me to Aruba.”
Police usually don't rely on the occult as standard protocol, but Aruban detectives are using every tool at their disposal.
“I'm a medium and I'm a search tool, just like the divers or the dogs or the searchers,” says Morgan.
However, Morgan notes, "Natalee is unfindable" because most of her research isn't specific enough to pinpoint exact details.
Aruban detectives and Houston based Equusearch have been given access to the medium’s notes.
Natalee’s father Dave Holloway says Morgan's findings include “obscure information about myself and my family that no one else would know.”
Morgan primarily works to make contact with the dead and recover valuable information.  To her, “we live on through eternity, death is an illusion that we deal with here in this reality.”
Natalee Holloway disappeared May 30.

Natalee Holloway's mother: 'Justice has not been served' 11 years after her disappearance
6 hours ago

Eleven years after Natalee Holloway's disappearance on a trip to Aruba, her mother is still hoping for justice when it comes to the man she believes took her daughter's life.

In May 2005, Holloway vanished on a trip with friends following her graduation from an Alabama high school in a disappearance that remains an unsolved mystery. Joe Fryer spoke with her mother, Beth Holloway, as part of this week's "Where Are They Now?: True Crime" series on TODAY.

"You're never over feeling the loss of your loved one,'' Holloway said.
 ::snipping3::
"Justice is being served for Stephany Flores, thank God,'' Holloway said. "And he is in prison in Peru. But justice has not been served for Natalee."

"That would be justice to me, to see him serve prison time in the United States. That would be justice for Natalee."
 ::snipping3::
Holloway, who manages a horse ranch in Montana and does motivational speaking, is not frustrated about waiting for van der Sloot's sentence in Peru to end in order to face charges in America. In 2010, she snuck into the prison in Peru to confront him about her daughter's disappearance.

"No, it's not gonna be hard,'' she said. "I take great comfort. I left him in a prison in Peru, so I feel good about that."

"That would be justice to me, to see him serve prison time in the United States. That would be justice for Natalee."

Asked if the wait for that to happen is difficult, she replied, "No, it's not gonna be hard,'' she said. "I take great comfort. I left him in a prison in Peru, so I feel good about that."

She said she has been approached about a possible plea deal, which she does not support. "There are no deals,'' she said. "I don't want a deal."

SAND, SUN, AND SLAUGHTER: 5 NOTORIOUS MURDERS THAT HAPPENED ON VACATION
September 2, 2016 by Catherine Townsend

 ::snipping3::

Natalee Holloway — Aruba

The Alabama teen dominated national headlines when she went missing from an unofficial graduation trip to Aruba in the early morning hours of May 30, 2005. Holloway was last seen by her classmates leaving Carlos ‘n Charlies at around 1:30 A.M. with 17-year-old Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch student living on the island; and his friends Deepak Kalpoe, 21; and Satish Kalpoe, 18. Despite a lengthy investigation, van der Sloot was never charged with Holloway’s murder — and her body was never found. Five years later, he pleaded guilty to the “cruel” and “ferocious” 2010 murder of Stefany Flores, a 21-year-old Peruvian woman he had met at a casino in Lima. Van der Sloot, who elbowed Flores in the face before strangling her with a bloodied shirt, was sentenced to 28 years in prison. When he is released, he is expected to be extradited to the United States to face charges of extortion and fraud for allegedly falsely promising to lead Natalee Holloway’s mother to the girl’s body in exchange for $25,000 payment. Beth Holloway recently told People magazine that while she is relieved van der Sloot is behind bars, he should be serving time in the U.S. for Natalee’s murder.

We will always remember how her life was stolen, and how Aruba covered up the crimes against her and denied her family peace and justice.

Plasterk offers help to floods-hit Aruba

21 NOVEMBER 2016
 

THE HAGUE--Dutch Minister of Home Affairs and Kingdom Relations Ronald Plasterk has offered Aruba assistance to deal with the consequences of Sunday’s flash floods.
Plasterk, who offered the assistance on behalf of the Dutch Government, spoke with Aruba Prime Minister Mike Eman over the telephone on Monday. Eman said he was happy with the assistance that his government was offered over the weekend from both the Dutch Marines and the Detective Cooperation Team RST.
The assistance by the Marines and the RST proved unnecessary as the local emergency services were able to handle the situation on their own. Minister Plasterk assured the Prime Minister that the offer of assistance still stood in case this was needed.
Plasterk stated that he was shocked by the images that he saw of the extreme weather and immense amount of rainfall which caused severe flooding in several areas. “Fortunately there were no fatal accidents, but the material damage is great and naturally a storm weather of this kind has an immense impact on the people of Aruba. We are most willing to lend a helping hand if it can contribute to Aruba’s support,” he stated in a press release on Monday.
Early Sunday morning, Aruba was faced with a highly abnormal amount of rain of almost 70mm. This was almost double the amount of rain that fell on the island during hurricane Matthew last month.
The most urgent, dangerous areas of flooding included Palm Beach, Tanki Leendert, Paradera, Madiki, Sabana Liber and Seroe Patrishi. In cooperation with the local Red Cross, an emergency shelter was opened at the Don Bosco Club in Noord for persons who were forced out of their homes.

Family of woman jailed in Aruba speaks on her experience

Andronette Anderson was jailed in Aruba after airport security found a firearm in her lugguage. Months later, she is finally home. Marielle Mohs has the story.

(http://www.thv11.com/img/resize/content.thv11.com/photo/2016/07/11/Anne%20Aruba_1468280677917_3947741_ver1.0.png?preset=534-401)

Marielle Mohs , KTHV 9:03 PM. CDT July 11, 2016
 
PINE BLUFF, Ark. (KTHV) -- A retired Pine Bluff teacher jailed in Aruba for 4 months is now free and back on U.S. soil.

Andronette Anderson, known to her friends as "Anne," was in Aruba in March with her cousin celebrating both of their birthdays.

Anderson was jailed when she was going through airport security on her way back to America, when Aruban authorities found a gun in her back.

Her trial kept getting pushed back, but it finally happened Friday, July 8, where she was found innocent and released.

A press conference on Monday was held at the Pine Bluff community center, where Anderson’s family and faith leaders spoke of her experience in an Aruban jail and their gracious return.

“We believe that it was through prayer that she was able to return back home safely,” said Pastor Amelio Howard of Grace Temple Church, where Anderson attended and played the organ on Sundays.

Anderson depended on both her family and faith family while she was jailed.

“The moment I got the phone call, I thought I was going to pass out,” said Patricia Smith, Anderson’s cousin.

At the press conference, they celebrated the removal of prayer bracelet's the community's been wearing since Anderson has been gone.

“We can pull ours off now because we are excited and happy that she was able to be vindicated,” said Reverend Jesse Turner.

Grace Temple Church in Pine Bluff became Anderson’s rock during her time in jail.

“We sincerely prayed that God would deliver her from Aruba,” Howard said. 

Howard spoke with Anderson from jail every 7 to 10 days.

The church sent her cards frequently.

“That kind of encouraged her when she got down on certain days, she would read some of the cards that the church and community sent to her,” Howard said.

The Pine Bluff community in shock this retired teacher would be jailed over a gun found in her bag.

“She was always quiet, to herself, non-violent,” Howard said.

Her cousin, Patricia Smith, says she returned healthy and unharmed.

“She's fine. They didn't mistreat her,” Smith said.

'Assassination attempt foiled by Joran'
Published on Monday, December 19th, 2016 13:44

Leidy Figueroa, wife of Joran van der Sloot, believes that there is avoided an assassination attempt on her husband. His lawyer is that view. They make the decisions in response to guns and ammunition intercepted in the high security Challapalca prison in Peru, where Van der Sloot is secure.

The weapons and ammunition were in a parcel that was meant for a prisoner who is in the same cell block as Joran van der Sloot. That reports Yahoo! News.

escape Attempt

In Peruvian media makes no mention of a possible assassination attempt on Van der Sloot. According to the media in Peru were the arms for a prisoner convicted for the shooting of the daughter of a former Member. The intercepted weapons, which were found in a package of food and an audio player, were intended for an escape attempt by the Peruvian detained in the maximum security prison.

I guess I missed any posts that reported that Beth and Dave are Grandparents! "Last December, the two became grandparents when Natalee’s brother, Matt, 26, welcomed a baby girl, Rylee Ann."

New Crime Museum Pays Tribute To Natalee Holloway, Offers Travel Safety Tips
Thursday, May 25, 2017

May 30 marks the anniversary of the date that the world heard about Natalee Holloway, a missing teen from Alabama who, along with 100 of her classmates, had taken a trip to Aruba to celebrate their high school graduation. While her body has never been found, and in January 2012 she was officially declared dead, her story rocked the nation and helped raise awareness about missing persons. Alcatraz East, a new crime museum in Pigeon Forge, Tn., is paying tribute to her on the anniversary of her disappearance.
 ::snipping3::
On May 30, there will be a Natalee Holloway tribute at Alcatraz East. They will honor her by adding a marble etching of her that was part of a larger memorial originally created and erected by a local man when she first disappeared. The image will become part of the Unsolved Cases section of the museum, which features information about her, as well other cold cases like JonBenét Ramsey, whose case is still receiving national media attention, and Amber Hageman, whose case spawned Amber Alerts.  The section also highlights the Natalee Holloway Resource Center which was founded by Beth Holloway in May 2010. The center focuses on educating the public on traveling safe, as well as guiding loved ones on steps to take if a person does go missing.
 ::snipping3::
Alcatraz East officially opened December 16, 2016. The new crime museum is located at the entrance to The Island, at 2757 Parkway in Pigeon Forge, near the Margaritaville Hotel and Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen. The 25,000 square foot museum is designed with a jail façade, and has a star-studded board of experts who make up the Advisory Board, including Jim Willett, a retired prison warden, Anthony Rivera, a combat veteran and Navy SEAL chief, and Judge Belvin Perry, Jr., best known for the Casey Anthony trial. General admission tickets are $14.95 for children, $24.95 for adults. Group ticket sales are available. The museum will be open 365 days per year, from 10 am to 9 pm, with the last ticket sold 60 minutes before closing. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit: www.alcatrazeast.com.

ORANJESTAD - Dutch film director René van Nie died on Aruba on Tuesday. The filmmaker, writer and father of Nada van Nie died of a cardiac arrest, reports CIneSud. He became 78 years old.

NATALEE HOLLOWAY: 5 KEY FACTS ABOUT THE TEEN’S 2005 DISAPPEARANCE
May 29, 2017 by Mike McPadden

In the early hours of May 30, 2005, 18-year-old Alabama resident Natalee Ann Holloway was celebrating her recent high school graduation with classmates on the island of Aruba.

After a night of partying, Natalee vanished. She has been neither seen nor heard from since then.

The disappearance of Natalee Holloway remains very much an open case — at least in the court of public fascination, horror, and outrage. What follows are five key points to understanding the mystery.

1. IT ALL BEGINS WITH JORAN VAN DER SLOOT

Friends reported last seeing Holloway leaving Carlos and Charlie’s nightclub with an athletic, 18-year-old Dutch student named Joran van der Sloot. Obviously, only one of them ever turned up again.
Immediately, the case attracted international attention.

After an initial investigation, Aruba authorities arrested van der Sloot for Holloway’s disappearance on June 9, 2005. Police also arrested van der Sloot’s companions, brothers Satish Kalpoe, 18; and Deepak Kalpoe, 21. Citing a lack of evidence, the cops cut loose all three suspects that September.

2. JORAN VAN DER SLOOT KEPT IT ALL ABOUT JORAN VAN DER SLOOT

Despite being free to return to college in the Netherlands, Joran van der Sloot relentlessly thrust himself upon the mass media. For the next couple of years, neither Joran nor his parents, Paul van der Sloot and Anita van der Sloot-Hugen seemed to turn down a TV appearance.

Joran admitted that he’d lied about some details to the police, but maintained he was innocent and had no clue as to what happened with Holloway. In 2007, he even published a book, De Zaak Natalee Holloway (The Case of Natalee Holloway), in which he proclaims, “I hope every day Natalee will be found.”

The book only stirred up negative feelings and, despite denials by authorities, many observers believe it may have newly intensified the investigation.

Later that year, police cited “new incriminating evidence,” and again arrested van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers on “suspicion of involvement in voluntary manslaughter and causing serious bodily harm that resulted in the death of Natalee Holloway.” Regardless, the trio was once more quickly released. That’s when the media that van der Sloot had initially courted turned on him in pursuit of justice.

3. VAN DER SLOOT CONFESSED … THEN DIDN’T … THEN DID … THEN …

After angrily throwing a glass of wine in the face of crime journalist Peter R. de Vries on live TV in 2008, a Dutch news program aired an undercover video made by the writer. On the tape, van der Sloot appears to explain that Holloway suffered a seizure while they were having sex. After failing to revive her, van der Sloot seems to say that he and a friend named Daury took Holloway’s body out to the middle of the ocean by boat and dumped her overboard. Authorities ultimately ruled that the video was inadmissible in court.

Keeping up the pressure, De Vries next broadcast a video that purported to show van der Sloot participating in a Bangkok-based sex-trafficking operation of Thai woman. De Vries reported that pimps paid van der Sloot $13,000 for every female he delivered to them.

American TV aired an interview in November 2008 in which van der Sloot states forthrightly that he sold Natalee Holloway to sexual slave brokers who took her to Venezuela. He also claimed that he hired the Kalpoes to help him and that his father paid off two cops to keep quiet.

The same news show also played an audio recording of Joran talking to his Paul van der Sloot, making it seem as though his father knew about the sex trafficking. Many analysts, however, believe that Joran was simply doing both voices.

In 2010, after Paul van der Sloot died of a heart attack, Joran allegedly reached out to John Q. Kelly, a Holloway family attorney. He offered to reveal where Holloway’s body was in exchange for $250,000.

Kelly set up an FBI sting, in which he wired $25,000. Van der Sloot then stated he buried Natalee’s body in the foundation of a specific house. Authorities quickly determined he was lying, but before the feds could nab him for extortion, though, van der Sloot escaped to Peru.

4. JORAN VAN DER SLOOT DEFINITELY COMMITTED MURDER … AGAIN?

On May 30, 2010 — five years to the day that Natalee Holloway disappeared — Joran van der Sloot beat 21-year-old Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramírez to death with a tennis racquet. The murder happened in his Lima, Peru, hotel room, where he also robbed the college student and daughter of prominent Peruvian business leader Ricardo Flores, taking her phone, computer, and cash.

Police caught van der Sloot three days later. Initially he confessed:

“I did not want to do it. The girl intruded into my private life. I went to her and I hit her. She was scared, we argued and she tried to escape. I grabbed her by the neck and hit her.”

Not surprisingly, he shortly thereafter retracted his statement.

Following massive public fury in Peru and global attention overall, van der Sloot finally pleaded guilty to the “qualified murder” of Stephany. He claimed he’d been driven to do it because nonstop coverage of the Holloway case had driven him insane.

 ::snipping3::

5. IT ALL CONTINUES WITH NATALEE HOLLOWAY STILL MISSING

On January 12, 2012, the state of Alabama declared Natalee Holloway legally dead. Her father, Dave Holloway, had petitioned the court to do so, despite protests from Beth Twitty, his ex-wife and Natalee’s mom.

Both parents authored books about their ordeal. In 2006, Dave Holloway published Aruba: The Tragic Untold Story of Natalee Holloway and Corruption in Paradise. Twitty followed a year later with Loving Natalee: A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith. Twitty also founded The Natalee Holloway Resource Center, a charity to aid the families of missing persons.

For them, the nightmare never will never be over, even if the mystery may one day be solved.

Did Natalee Holloway’s Dad Find a Promising New Lead in His Daughter’s 12-Year-Old Disappearance?
BY STEVE HELLING•@STEVEHELLING

POSTED ON JULY 10, 2017 AT 12:00PM EDT

It has been more than 12 years since Natalee Holloway vanished during a senior class trip to Aruba in May 2005. Despite multiple arrests, the 18-year-old’s disappearance remains unsolved.

Her body has never been found, but her father, Dave Holloway, has never stopped searching for answers.


Authorities — and Natalee’s family — suspect that Joran van der Sloot, one of the last people to see her alive, is responsible. He has not faced trial in connection with her case and has denied involvement, despite a series of conflicting and shifting accounts of what he knows.

He remains in a Peruvian prison after pleading guilty in an unrelated murder.

In new Oxygen series The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, premiering Saturday, Aug. 19, viewers will follow Dave Holloway as he attempts to uncover what really happened to Natalee — and where she may be buried after all these years.

'THE DISAPPEARANCE OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY' PREMIERES AUGUST 19 ON OXYGEN
JULY 10, 2017 • 12:58 PM ET

NEW YORK, NY – July 10, 2017 - On May 30, 2005, 18-year-old Natalee Holloway disappeared on the island of Aruba. Her case resulted in a world-wide media frenzy, yet Natalee’s body was never found, and her father, Dave Holloway, has never stopped searching for answers. Now, 12 years later, he's following what he believes to be the most credible lead to date: a detailed first-hand account from a man who claims to know the whereabouts of his daughter’s remains, and the hope of finally getting a conviction of Joran van der Sloot. In the new Oxygen crime series, “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,” premiering Saturday, August 19 at 9pm ET/PT, viewers will follow Dave and T.J. Ward, the family’s longtime private investigator, in the latest and perhaps final chapter of the decade-long pursuit to uncover what really happened to Natalee.

“‘The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway’ is our first installment of a true crime franchise that follows real-time investigations inside the biggest missing person cases of the past century,” said Rod Aissa, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Development, Oxygen Media. “This series gives viewers rare access to Dave Holloway’s gut-wrenching search for answers as he embarks on an immersive journey full of twists, turns and, most considerably, a new lead that could deliver justice for Natalie once and for all.”

Ever since her disappearance, Natalee's family has been plagued by dead end leads and false confessions. With ten arrests in connection to her case but no charges ever filed, Dave and T.J. have gone down many roads together in the search for the truth. Then, in 2015, Dave received a promising lead from a man who claimed to be roommates with a co-conspirator who helped prime suspect Joran van der Sloot dispose of Natalee’s remains. Now, armed with this information, Dave, T.J. and T.J.’s elite team of investigators will trail the co-conspirator to further build a case and execute a surveillance operation that will hopefully lead them to Natalee’s alleged burial site in Aruba. With new evidence and never-before-seen footage, this six-part series documents what could be Dave Holloway’s last chance at finally finding justice for Natalee and closure for the Holloway family.

“The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway” is produced by Brian Graden Media with Brian Graden, Dave Mace, LB Horschler and Alex Weresow serving as Executive Producers.

What an asshole.   "I didn't get proper compensation, so they got cut out of the loop". 

Of course he was a friend of Joran van der Sloot.  Makes perfect sense.

He doesn't know anyway.

Exactly!  Did he even know Joran in 2005?  If he did, that's news to me.  From the little I've gathered (honestly...haven't tried very hard, so I could have this completely wrong) I think the new witnesses are this guy and his room mate?  Six episodes?  I've been hoping Rob might pop in and say pay attention or don't worry about it or something/anything to give us a clue whether to have our hopes up or not.  Rob usually knows whats up with TJ Ward, and I know he'll always be looking for answers for Natalee too.  But maybe he's sworn to secrecy.  I'd love for this to be it, I wish I could feel like it was!

Twelve years after the 18-year-old went missing, Oxygen will debut the The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, a true-crime docu-series that pledges to reveal a break in the cold case with new, previously undisclosed information about Holloway’s disappearance, according to Entertainment Weekly. The episodes will follow her father and T.J. Ward, the family’s longtime private investigator, as they develop a surveillance mission built from details of a first-hand account from a man who claims to have been the roommate of a co-conspirator who disposed of her remains. The pair hopes the path will lead to Natalee’s burial site, according to Oxygen.

We talked to a father whose son recently died after battling a heroin addiction. He told us he wishes he could have used the K-9s years ago to help his son.

As a young boy, Andrew Ward loved basketball, football and baseball.

“He was a good person. He was down to earth. He, he’d do anything for you. He loved kids,” said TJ Ward, his father.
 
But Andrew’s life took a turn at age 15. His dad said Andrew started running with the wrong crowd, smoking pot, getting into trouble with the cops and eventually got hooked on heroin.

Andrew wanted to quit. He moved into a halfway house to get clean, but in early June TJ got the call he’d been dreading.

“I find out that my son was at a hospital, unresponsive and shortly thereafter had passed away,” he said.

TJ is waiting on autopsy results which will tell him exactly how Andrew died at age 31.

Dave Holloway searches for answers about his daughter's disappearance. The new series premieres August 19th at 9/8c. The new series of The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, premieres August 19th at 9/8c, only on Oxygen.

On May 30, 2005, 18-year-old Natalee Holloway disappeared on the island of Aruba. Her case resulted in a world-wide media frenzy, yet Natalee’s body was never found, and her father, Dave Holloway, has never stopped searching for answers. Now, 12 years later, he's following what he believes to be the most credible lead to date: a detailed first-hand account from a man who claims to know the whereabouts of his daughter’s remains, and the hope of finally getting a conviction of Joran van der Sloot. In the new Oxygen crime series, “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,” premiering Saturday, August 19 at 9pm ET/PT, viewers will follow Dave and T.J. Ward, the family’s longtime private investigator, in the latest and perhaps final chapter of the decade-long pursuit to uncover what really happened to Natalee.

Dave and Natalee Holloway and, inset below right, the ‘body site’ on Oxygen’s new series

Natalee Holloway’s father is led to a ‘body site’ as he tries to find out exactly what happened to his daughter in a new documentary series.

The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, which premieres on the Oxygen network next month, follows Dave Holloway as he tracks a big new lead in a bid to get justice.

The series sees him and the family’s private investigator T.J. Ward follow up what Dave describes as “by far the most credible” lead he’s seen in the past 12 years.

Natalee vanished without trace at the age of 18 on the Caribbean island of Aruba in May 2005, with her disappearance making headlines across the globe.

There have since been ten arrests in connection with her case but nobody has ever been charged.

Dave says of prime suspect Joran van der Sloot in the new Oxygen series: “Joran was the last person seen with my daughter, he knows what happened.”

Talking about the new lead, he reveals: “A man named Gabriel has come forward and said’ I’m living with this guy who says that he knows where Natalie’s remains are’.”

According to Oxygen, the man claims to have helped van der Sloot dispose of Natalee’s remains.

Footage in the show’s preview shows them tracking the lead through a surveillance operation before they are ultimately led to a wild spot of ground where an area is marked out.

A voice is heard saying: “Her body was right here.”

The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway premieres Saturday August 19 at 9pm ET/PT on Oxygen.

New Evidence Suggests Natalee Holloway's Body Has Been Found 12 Years After Her Disappearance (EXCLUSIVE)
Today at 9:03 am
By Megan Heintz
     
It's been more than a decade since 18-year-old Natalee Holloway disappeared without a trace on May 30, 2005, during a graduation trip to Aruba. Now, new details have finally emerged about the teen's mysterious disappearance.

In the new six-part Oxygen series The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, informant, Gabriel, claims, "[Joran van der Sloot] tried to kiss her, but she was foaming at the mouth. He panicked, and she choked on her own vomit." (In Touch obtained an advanced screener of the first episode.) He continued, "She died, and within two to three hours [Joran, with help from his late father, judge Paul van der Sloot] buried her."

Gabriel revealed that Joran, 30, shared the information with a mutual acquaintance named John Ludwick five years after the Alabama teen vanished. "You guys were getting close [to finding the body]," Gabriel explained to Dave — Natalee's father — so Joran told John,"'I’ll pay you $1,500 if you go and dig the body up.' [They] uncovered the body in the national forest, dug it up and took it to the morgue. The body got cremated, and then they threw it in the ocean, low tide. That’s what John told me."

Gabriel said that John told him Joran spiked Natalee’s drink with date rape drug GHB before she died, then called his father, who "stomped on her legs and folded her over," so he could stuff her into a burlap sack and bury her. Five years later, John only had to dig down three feet to find her bones, which “were moldy. There was two inches of black lard from the body... and her blond hair,” said Gabriel, adding that John brought Natalee’s remains to the morgue, where a contact of Paul’s cremated them. Together, he and Joran dumped her ashes into the Caribbean.

"Twelve years and we still have nothing, until now," Dave said of the exhaustive quest to find out what happened to his daughter. "This is the most credible lead I’ve ever seen." Upon hearing what Gabriel had to say, Dave and his longtime private investigator, T.J. Ward, launched an 18-month sting operation, which has brought them closer than ever to finding evidence that will lead to Joran’s conviction, as well as the closure they so desperately crave. "Justice," Dave told In Touch, "will be served."

In the series, cameras follow Dave and T.J. as they use high-tech surveillance and cutting-edge interrogation techniques, which lead to a sit-down with John himself — who admits on camera that he helped dig up the remains. "[Joran] didn’t do it himself; there are some other players out there," Dave told us. "It’s just a matter of getting them to the table and proving it."

I want so bad to be hopeful but have been disappointed so many times. I also read that a second season of the Dave Holloway show is being considered. If they truly found proof of her being buried why season 2? To go after Joran? Get in line.

 ::rhino::

I've thought about this all day long, after reading the article yesterday. 
Just watched another clip, unfortunately the more I see, the more skeptical I am.
At this point, I'm wondering which episode Tim Miller and Steph Watts make their appearance. 
Yes, I'm still mad about that, and I hope I'm not inclined to revisit the whole ugly subject after six episodes iykwim.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

Nothing new here so far imo unless they can prove she was buried where they say she was, and I doubt that very seriously.

I hope I'm wrong, I really do.

New Evidence Suggests Natalee Holloway's Body Has Been Found 12 Years After Her Disappearance (EXCLUSIVE)
Today at 9:03 am
By Megan Heintz
    
It's been more than a decade since 18-year-old Natalee Holloway disappeared without a trace on May 30, 2005, during a graduation trip to Aruba. Now, new details have finally emerged about the teen's mysterious disappearance.

In the new six-part Oxygen series The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, informant, Gabriel, claims, "[Joran van der Sloot] tried to kiss her, but she was foaming at the mouth. He panicked, and she choked on her own vomit." (In Touch obtained an advanced screener of the first episode.) He continued, "She died, and within two to three hours [Joran, with help from his late father, judge Paul van der Sloot] buried her."

Gabriel revealed that Joran, 30, shared the information with a mutual acquaintance named John Ludwick five years after the Alabama teen vanished. "You guys were getting close [to finding the body]," Gabriel explained to Dave — Natalee's father — so Joran told John,"'I’ll pay you $1,500 if you go and dig the body up.' [They] uncovered the body in the national forest, dug it up and took it to the morgue. The body got cremated, and then they threw it in the ocean, low tide. That’s what John told me."

Gabriel said that John told him Joran spiked Natalee’s drink with date rape drug GHB before she died, then called his father, who "stomped on her legs and folded her over," so he could stuff her into a burlap sack and bury her. Five years later, John only had to dig down three feet to find her bones, which “were moldy. There was two inches of black lard from the body... and her blond hair,” said Gabriel, adding that John brought Natalee’s remains to the morgue, where a contact of Paul’s cremated them. Together, he and Joran dumped her ashes into the Caribbean.

"Twelve years and we still have nothing, until now," Dave said of the exhaustive quest to find out what happened to his daughter. "This is the most credible lead I’ve ever seen." Upon hearing what Gabriel had to say, Dave and his longtime private investigator, T.J. Ward, launched an 18-month sting operation, which has brought them closer than ever to finding evidence that will lead to Joran’s conviction, as well as the closure they so desperately crave. "Justice," Dave told In Touch, "will be served."

 ::snipping3::

In the series, cameras follow Dave and T.J. as they use high-tech surveillance and cutting-edge interrogation techniques, which lead to a sit-down with John himself — who admits on camera that he helped dig up the remains. "[Joran] didn’t do it himself; there are some other players out there," Dave told us. "It’s just a matter of getting them to the table and proving it."

Everything that's in this article is true, but that was only the beginning of the lies john told. There are more twists and turns. Those where the original lies he said. I was the only one who was able to solve it, T.J. Got the information after I gave it to them! Because I have all the originals plus more exclusive videos, from me prying the information out of John. And now he's calling me an informant?!? He has to remember who came to who...who did all the work? To my knowledge he was paid for all his "work", however I never charged a dime for my time. And now he wants to take all the credit because he's the " professional investigator". If he was that good why did it take me only five years and him twelve, only with my information. As you can see there is major conflict between the two of us. I'm not going to let him take credit for something I worked so hard to solve on my own. No professionals. No help. Just me.

My Daughter Needs Cancer Surgery

Updates   13

My name is Gabriel Madrigal.  I've spent the better part of the past five years working to solve The Dissapearance of Natalee Holloway.  Two years ago, my 24 year-old daughter, Cynthia, developed a vaginal tumor.  When the doctors removed it, the tumor was the size of a walnut.  My whole family prayed it would not return.

Over the past six months, when I was filming the series, traveling back and forth to Aruba multiple times, my daughter's cancer returned with a vengeance -- only she refused to tell me because she feared it would interfere with my work.  

The cancer is malignant and has grown to the size of an orange.  Cynthia can no longer walk without excruciating pain.  She has no insurance, and cannot afford the $50,000 for medical treatment and surgery desperately needed to save her life.

My work on the show was a humanitarian effort for Dave Holloway, who himself has spent all of his own savings to find Natalee for the past twelve years.  My  efforts on the series has been unpaid.  I never imagined it would take this long, and cost me all of my savings, rather than take care of my family's basic needs for medical care.

I've been sending all of the money I've been able to earn to my daughter, as she can no longer work.   I've pleaded for assistance with my contact at the network, but have merely been reassured, "Don't worry, Gabriel.  Just hang in there." I simply can't wait any longer.

I've now turned to the internet for help as a last resort. I have many friends on Facebook who can attest to who I am, and others I've helped over the years.  It pains me to put up this page, but my daughter's life is now on the line.  If you are able to help my daughter, I would be forever grateful.

(https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/22812904_1502102418.6569_funddescription.jpg)

UPDATE:  If things weren't bad enough, I just received an Eviction Notice to pay $2,000 by this Wednesday or my family will also be homeless.  I put this under a Wish List item so you can designate a donation for our rent, separate from funds for my daughter's treatment.

Jose G Tromp I just hope that her parents can find her remains. That way they can leave Aruba alone. I'm sure is difficult being a parent and not knowing where your child is. But is also difficult for us as Aruban to hear about this story so frequently and not have answers for them nor for us. It's sad, but that's the truth. We judge them for finding their loved one, what if it happened to one of our family member in the US? We would do everything we can to find our loved one, right? That's just my opinion. I am Aruban and I love my island, but I also love my family and would do everything if something bad happens to them.

You may want to talk to the REAL HERO THAT broke the Natalee Holloway Cold case! Gabes Way was NOT an informant nor was he a roommate! Contact him for the REAL STORY because HE WENT UNDERCOVER AND HAS ALL FOOTAGE AND INFORMATION . He invested YEARS to get John to break down and confess, took trips to Aruba to uncover the site AND went to a snake that wanted all the glory...the investigater that took his info, gag ordered him and shut him out. DAVID AND TJ only know what they know because they took everything that Gabe did and took ALL CREDIT. Gabe went broke trying to get John to break and they won't even help him or let him talk about it. Why? To look good and because Gabe means NOTHING to them except to get what they wanted.

Oxygen is coming out with the series in mid August. If not for Gabe working his butt off to finally break the case, she would still be missing forever. John wouldn't have admitted to anyone else. Gabe was the HERO, not the INFORMANT.

Please help Gabe's daughter!! As a cancer survivor, I'm very familiar with the feeling of despair and costs! If you can give anything at all, it would help so much!! Gabe is asking for help but he's always been one to do big things to help others out without hesitating. Example: Gabe helps the homeless, drug addicts, accident victims and even went under cover to bring Natalee Holloway's body back to the states to give her family closure and peace. This man never stops, no matter what, to help ANYONE! HE'S a wonderful friend and I'm asking you to please help, however small, and share this, asking others to help his daughter get her tumor removed. Thank you so much!

But much of the same is in her original post, and then she posts the comment three minutes later.

I thought this was interesting because I've noticed Gabes Way has deleted at least one public post I shared here, and comments on other posts too.
But much of the same is in her original post, and then she posts the comment three minutes later.
Maybe they're trying to scare a donation out of someone with the threat of a polygraph expert?   ::MonkeyRoll:: ::MonkeyDevil::

Oh my word, the drama.   ::monkeymask::

The only crematory available at that time was one for dogs and cats if I remember correctly.  Back in 2005 if you wanted to be cremated you had to go to Curacao.  At least that's how I remember it.

However, I always said what would stop someone from cremating a person in a pet crematorium?

It seems like there was talk of a hospital incinerator and one at Valero too over the years.

I remembered posting about when they got the furnace in to do cremations.  It was in late 2012, but the laws weren't ready for it to be used yet.

Furnace for cremation already in Aruba         

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2012 9:26

ORANGE CITY - The container containing materials for a cremation furnace came this week in Aruba and is already at the door of Aurora Funeral Home. The draft law cremated in Aruba must permit must still be approved by parliament.

Director Anthony Latham this funeral tells the container that there is indeed more than the law is ready. "I hope that the law this year is adopted, so that we may already be in January with cremations can begin." He is well aware that within the Aruban 'culture' they might not be fully ready for the idea that cremation later also in Aruba can, but he is convinced that cremation in Aruba for many people desire. "It just takes a lot of money to the deceased to Curacao across, there be cremated and their ashes then back to Aruba. If cremation in Aruba may, will a lot of money. "

NATALEE HOLLOWAY MINISERIES TRIGGERS LAWSUIT
 
  8/14/2017 12:26 PM PDT
Natalee Holloway Miniseries Triggers Lawsuit
EXCLUSIVE

Natalee Holloway has been missing for 12 years, and her story is still embroiled in controversy ... a story that has triggered a new lawsuit.
Edward Kramer just filed suit against 2 production companies -- Brian Graden Media and Lipstick -- for allegedly stealing his idea for a miniseries about Holloway's cold case. He says what's worse, he worked for the companies for more than a year without getting as much as a penny.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kramer claims after Lipstick put him in touch with BGM in 2014 to develop the Holloway project, he was tasked with doing a lot of the legwork, like figuring out how to turn it into a miniseries,doing interviews and getting the pitch ready for NBC and Oxygen (which is airing "The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway" this week).
Kramer says when he began asking about compensation, he got the runaround.
He's asking a judge to block the airing of the show.
We've reached out to BGM ... so far, no word back.

Thanks for the link, Klaas!   ::HelloKitty::

There's always been a good argument for her being cremated, but I'm not convinced.
And certainly can't believe they waited five years to do it, if that's what was done.

The Persistence mission still weighs heavy on my mind, wish I knew the whole truth.

I love reading the old threads, there's always some laughs and great memories.   ::MonkeyHeart::

I don't give a fig about this new Oxygen series. I'm surprised that Dave got tangled up in this but I guess he just did what he thinks he has to do. If any real "closure" ever comes, I don't think the Oxygen channel will be the messenger. This Gabe character - shaking my head in disbelief (is there an emoji for that? lol).

I was sorry to read (here) about the death of Mr. Mansur. He was one of the good guys ...

Good morning msmarple!  It's always good to see you!   ::HelloKitty:: ::MonkeyKiss::

ITA, I'm not expecting closure from this either.  I've seen several "fake news" comments in reaction to the finally found headlines being shared on fb.  So many people have hoped and prayed for answers for Natalee and her family, and many are skeptical of this new series as well.  I guess we'll see what comes of it, if they even get to show it with the new lawsuit.

Sad that we can't reach out to Jossy and get his take on things anymore.  I agree, he was one of the good guys.

The Determination of Dave Holloway: Natalee Holloway’s Dad’s Quest for Justice Reveals New Leads
08/15/2017 11:46 am ET

 ::snipping3::

T.J. Ward, Dave Holloway’s longtime detective who has become a friend (he keeps a photo of Natalee in his office), has been working on the case since it began in 2005. In the Oxygen series, he vets an informant named Gabriel that comes forward to report a confession from a friend of van der Sloot’s, John Ludwig. While Ludwig appears to be a shady character, he has given an account to Gabriel that sounds highly credible with information only those closest to the case know about.

In a phone interview for The Huffington Post with Dave Holloway and T.J. Ward, the investigator confirms that he used lie detection methods (voice layering analysis) and professional tactics to determine if Gabriel was a reliable informant. “In my initial meeting with Gabriel, we sat him down and gave him a massive interview,” says Ward, “We believe some of the information that was given to him from John because John and Joran were good friends. There were details that had not been made public in what John told Gabriel.”

In one disturbing scene of The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, Ludwig is shown in a video shot by Gabriel watching his own past appearance on Nancy Grace, mocking the host loudly and ranting wildly about Stefany Flores. Ludwig’s undying loyalty to van der Sloot is reminiscent of those obsessed with serial killers “There is a lot we end up finding out about Joran and John’s relationship that you will see in this series,” Ward adds.

“The details Gabriel gave us were too credible to discount,” Dave Holloway explains, “Joran’s godfather was in the Ministry of Justice and Joran’s father Paulus van der sloot (who passed away from a sudden heart attack in 2010) was a judge in training. It’s no secret that Aruba’s law enforcement was not vigilant about looking into this when Natalee first was reported missing. We believe Joran was protected by his family’s connections.”

When asked if his ex wife Beth is supportive about this new show and Dave’s involvement in uncovering new leads, he says “no, she is not and let me give you some history: Back in 2015 when we got involved with this Marriott case (http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/28/world/natalee-holloway-new-tip/index.html), I was skeptical about it and Beth too, but this guy kept going on and on and involved my family. We were able to get satellite images and we had to put that to rest when nothing was found to help us. Family members got their hopes up over and over and over....It took a toll on (Natalee’s mom) Beth and I saw how devastating it also was to my wife Robin. I promised myself not to bring anyone else in - to avoid destroying my family. We went through a healing process and then 2 months later, Gabriel called.”

Dave says that in 2015 they had just finished looking into the lead about the Marriott Hotel in Aruba and then thing went quiet: “We would get calls from wannabe psychics and those with theories and speculations. Gabe’s call was patched through and he said not to hang up. I reluctantly called him back and something stirred my interest. He also said that he had tried to contact the FBI and was frustrated that no one got back to him. I said ‘I know the feeling!’ and asked if he would mind talking to a private investigator, gave him TJ’s number and TJ took it from there.”

In the series premiere, Gabriel explains “I’m a father of 2 daughters. I feel obligated to solve this. I want to help.” He says he knew John Ludwig for about 4 years and Ludwig went to Aruba because he had an aunt living there. Ludwig bumped into van der sloot and wanted to be his friend after seeing him on TV. Eventually, van der Sloot not only confided in Ludwig, but asked for his help moving Natalee’s body from its hidden location as he felt the pressure of authorities about to close in.

Viewers will wonder about Ludwig’s credibility, if DNA or other type of evidence can be collected based on newly obtained statements, how van der Sloot’s father possibly covered up his son’s crime, and if Gabriel will crack under the pressure of what’s expected of him next. He becomes an integral part of a riveting sting investigation.

Ward says: “Through the sting operation, We end up finding out a lot more about John and Joran’s relationship. It’s really mind blowing.”

Tune in to Oxygen August 19th, 7/6c and 9/8c, for the series premiere of The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

Just saying since apparently correct spelling of names is not important to some article writers.

Bridget Guthrie Asher First of all .. My friend Gabes Way is not an informant, 2nd they do know exactly what happened to her, and there's evidence. .o can't say more, but watch the documentary. . It will blow your mind. . Keep in mind Gabriel didn't get paid one cent to find the remains that HE WENT TO ARUBA AND FOUND. . Not TJ Ward. . Just saying they should give Gabriel the credit cause that's where it goes. . I can pull out screenshots from John Ludwick himself's page where he posted back in 2010 that he knew for a fact that wasn't Natalie Holloway Jawbone it was found on the beach and you know why he knew it wasn't because he knew where her body was the whole damn time. He's a piece of s*** and I hope he goes down for what he did. Even though he did not have anything to do with killing her he didn't helps dispose of her body the second time around

Bridget Guthrie Asher I was friends with John Ludwick on Facebook for many years, ive seen his post, never really gave it a thought until I met Gabes Way then it all started to make sense.. then out comes the confession, crazy .. just watch the documentary, I am not under contract so I could care less what all I say ,just don't wanna ruin the documentary for anyone.
All I can say is I watched some videos , John Ludwick said stuff years and years ago, before he decided what he did (the part he played in how and what they did to her remains ) was horrific and I'm pretty sure it's haunted him daily (and it should) . I'm a mother of 2 girls and I believe if a man did what they did to her remains I'd have my day with him and he'd never see the light again. Lynn Gipson Hindman also watched these same videos to its not just one of us who knows what those bastards done to her.
And the reason they didn't just call the law, is because they drugged her and his father wanted to protect his son, which by the way I hope he's burning in hell for what part he played in this..

Laetitia Minet i still does not sound right to me. Joran left with Natalee and the Kalpoe brothers. The Kalpoe brothers drove them to a place next to Natalee's hotel. And now u tell me they was another guy involved, called John Ludwick, who was never questioned by the police before, who was even not seen with Natalee.
I still believe Joran killed her himself, with no witness. I only believe your last sentence, with Joran's dad involved by trying to protect his son (but i think with advises how to answer to the police).
August 13 at 10:08am · Edited

Bridget Guthrie Asher Believe me or not I don't care. . I specifically just said John Ludwick came into the picture " when her body was moved the 2nd time" if you really was checking into this case and was watching all the YouTube videos and you watch the one where the actual chief of police said in his words and I quote. There is reason to believe that the body of Natalee Holloway has been moved. Now why would they say they believe that body had been moved if they didn't know where it was at to begin with. Once I posted this YouTube video on my wall and called it to other people's attention the YouTube video was taken down there are numerous people on my Facebook who saw this before it was taken down. First they distorted all the Talking inside the video where you couldn't understand what he was saying and now the video has been completely removed. And this wasn't a video put up by just some random person this video was put up by a news channel. I believe solely and inside of me that Vandersloot was alone when she died. He called DADDY who showed up and helped him dispose of the body .. after his daddy passed away he got scared because they were getting real close to where her body was hidden therefore he and John Ludwick became good friends even had sexual relationships together so he trusted this guy to help him move Natalie's body. Look up Jon Ludwick love confession on YouTube he talks about stuff they did together.. if you really want to start looking into this certain looking into the stuff that John Ludwick said when he was on Nancy Grace twice.. and no John was never questioned by the police. Because he did not come into the picture until after vandersloot lost his father. At no point did I say John Ludwick was in on killing her. But what he did was horrific and when this all comes to a head and it comes out you'll see what I'm talking about. It don't take a rocket scientist to see that something wasn't right with all these videos all these posts that was out in 2010 when the Jawbone was found on the beach.

damn it's been so long I may not even know how to post here ... but Hello Monkeys!

I don't give a fig about this new Oxygen series. I'm surprised that Dave got tangled up in this but I guess he just did what he thinks he has to do. If any real "closure" ever comes, I don't think the Oxygen channel will be the messenger. This Gabe character - shaking my head in disbelief (is there an emoji for that? lol).

I was sorry to read (here) about the death of Mr. Mansur. He was one of the good guys ...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4796176/Natalee-Holloway-remains-Aruba.html

 ::snipping3::
    A new tip in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway has led to the discovery of human remains in Aruba
    Those remains are now undergoing DNA testing with results expected in the next month Natalee's father Dave revealed on Wednesday
    The tip in the case came from a man named Gabriel, who lived with Joran ven der Sloot's best friend John
    Gabriel claims van der Sloot told John that he gave a drink spiked with the date rape drug GHB to Natalee, 18, who choked on her own vomit
    Van der Sloot allegedly called his father Paulus at that point, who got a burlap bag and stomped on the body to get it to fit before burying the teen in a park
    Paulus died in 2010 and van der Sloot is serving 28  years in a Peruvian prison for murdering Stephany Flores Ramírez, 21, in 2010
    He will be extradited to the US after finishing out that sentence to face charges that he tried to extort the Holloways after their daughter's death

Hey Monks and Monkettes - you know the drill. Don't get your hopes up too high. Bodies have been buried on that island for 10,000 years.

TJ isn't saying much. Just that he cant discuss certain aspects. Fair enough.

All he said was that it's confirmed as human - but you already know that.

I asked if there was anything at all to lead them to believe it's Natalee and he said he can't discuss it. Personally, I think he would tell me if he knew - I don't think he knows at this point and it's up to forensics. Not getting too excited here - look at some of the characters involved.

Anyway - hi to all - Red, Klaas, Wreck, TM and BM and everyone else too. Hope you are all well.

Just like everyone else - I so want this to be true and Our Girl Natalee.

Still think about what happened to her all the time. Still so sad. Been waiting patiently, not patiently, for the conclusion - which I know will occur some day. I see Natalee's face all the time on my phone - whether it's a small pop-up about the real story about what happened to Natalee because my phone knows I love her - or it's reading here. She is always close to my heart. Always.

Until that day Natalee is always in my thoughts and prayers. Just as you all are.

I had an interesting thing happen - I was cleaning out a filing cabinet and I found a letter that Natalee's aunt sent me. There were some interesting items in there - more bracelets - which I always wore one for about 7 years and some letters / posts I wrote - I guess these were copies I kept on file. Some were posts I wrote for the Boycott site. And some I wrote for Frank - Aruba Dirty Police.

Also some interesting stuff from Michelle - lots of boycott Aruba stuff. Looks brand new. It all brought back memories. Man, I loved Aruba until Natalee was denied justice. Still haven't been back.

I found a letter Beth wrote to me some time back - Beth reminds me of my mother. Maybe that's why I care for her so. I did mention in my return email to her that she does remind me of my mom. Beth is a fighter - like my mom.

I'm very proud that I stood up for a little girl that got rolled by a national government. You should be proud too - you never backed down.

Years ago - TJ said Natalee was taken off the island. Dumped in the delta of Colombia. In my personal opinion - I still think she was / is on the island.

Hidden in plainview.

After leaving the crime dump - everything happens in the north - that's where she is in my opinion. Either in a crypt or was found by the polis and removed. If she is behind someone's house - I won't be surprised - but I kinda doubt it. TES was all over that island. I think they would have found her behind a house.

No doubt - Joran's modus is throttling women. That's what happened to Natalee. A girl that passes out and has drugs in her system would be dumped at the hotel entrance. That's happened before.

I think she was drugged - that's pimp gang's history - but lets not leave out the violence and the real reason she wasn't found.

From the UK Daily story -

'So they grab her and put her in the back of [Paulus'] car and they drive her to a park. Amd they pick a spot, puts her in, covers her up and his dad goes, "grab that cactus, that will just cover everything up,'' continues Gabriel.

Paulus' car was confiscated - no trace of Natalee was ever divulged to my knowledge.

The Determination of Dave Holloway: Natalee Holloway’s Dad’s Quest for Justice Reveals New Leads
08/15/2017 11:46 am ET

 ::snipping3::

T.J. Ward, Dave Holloway’s longtime detective who has become a friend (he keeps a photo of Natalee in his office), has been working on the case since it began in 2005. In the Oxygen series, he vets an informant named Gabriel that comes forward to report a confession from a friend of van der Sloot’s, John Ludwig. While Ludwig appears to be a shady character, he has given an account to Gabriel that sounds highly credible with information only those closest to the case know about.

In a phone interview for The Huffington Post with Dave Holloway and T.J. Ward, the investigator confirms that he used lie detection methods (voice layering analysis) and professional tactics to determine if Gabriel was a reliable informant. “In my initial meeting with Gabriel, we sat him down and gave him a massive interview,” says Ward, “We believe some of the information that was given to him from John because John and Joran were good friends. There were details that had not been made public in what John told Gabriel.”

In one disturbing scene of The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, Ludwig is shown in a video shot by Gabriel watching his own past appearance on Nancy Grace, mocking the host loudly and ranting wildly about Stefany Flores. Ludwig’s undying loyalty to van der Sloot is reminiscent of those obsessed with serial killers “There is a lot we end up finding out about Joran and John’s relationship that you will see in this series,” Ward adds.

“The details Gabriel gave us were too credible to discount,” Dave Holloway explains, “Joran’s godfather was in the Ministry of Justice and Joran’s father Paulus van der sloot (who passed away from a sudden heart attack in 2010) was a judge in training. It’s no secret that Aruba’s law enforcement was not vigilant about looking into this when Natalee first was reported missing. We believe Joran was protected by his family’s connections.”

When asked if his ex wife Beth is supportive about this new show and Dave’s involvement in uncovering new leads, he says “no, she is not and let me give you some history: Back in 2015 when we got involved with this Marriott case (http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/28/world/natalee-holloway-new-tip/index.html), I was skeptical about it and Beth too, but this guy kept going on and on and involved my family. We were able to get satellite images and we had to put that to rest when nothing was found to help us. Family members got their hopes up over and over and over....It took a toll on (Natalee’s mom) Beth and I saw how devastating it also was to my wife Robin. I promised myself not to bring anyone else in - to avoid destroying my family. We went through a healing process and then 2 months later, Gabriel called.”

Dave says that in 2015 they had just finished looking into the lead about the Marriott Hotel in Aruba and then thing went quiet: “We would get calls from wannabe psychics and those with theories and speculations. Gabe’s call was patched through and he said not to hang up. I reluctantly called him back and something stirred my interest. He also said that he had tried to contact the FBI and was frustrated that no one got back to him. I said ‘I know the feeling!’ and asked if he would mind talking to a private investigator, gave him TJ’s number and TJ took it from there.”

In the series premiere, Gabriel explains “I’m a father of 2 daughters. I feel obligated to solve this. I want to help.” He says he knew John Ludwig for about 4 years and Ludwig went to Aruba because he had an aunt living there. Ludwig bumped into van der sloot and wanted to be his friend after seeing him on TV. Eventually, van der Sloot not only confided in Ludwig, but asked for his help moving Natalee’s body from its hidden location as he felt the pressure of authorities about to close in.

Viewers will wonder about Ludwig’s credibility, if DNA or other type of evidence can be collected based on newly obtained statements, how van der Sloot’s father possibly covered up his son’s crime, and if Gabriel will crack under the pressure of what’s expected of him next. He becomes an integral part of a riveting sting investigation.

Ward says: “Through the sting operation, We end up finding out a lot more about John and Joran’s relationship. It’s really mind blowing.”

Tune in to Oxygen August 19th, 7/6c and 9/8c, for the series premiere of The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

Guess it could be John Ludwick's aunt, and he buried the souvenir behind her house?   ::MonkeyNoNo::

Hi Blonde - yes, I do remember that now that you reminded me.

I wonder if that car is still around? Maybe at the area where old cars are dumped.

"Natalee Holloway mystery may be over as tip that she was drugged by Joran van der Sloot and then buried in a park when she choked to death on her own vomit leads to the discovery of human remains"

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4796176/Natalee-Holloway-remains-Aruba.html

 ::snipping3::
    A new tip in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway has led to the discovery of human remains in Aruba
    Those remains are now undergoing DNA testing with results expected in the next month Natalee's father Dave revealed on Wednesday
    The tip in the case came from a man named Gabriel, who lived with Joran ven der Sloot's best friend John
    Gabriel claims van der Sloot told John that he gave a drink spiked with the date rape drug GHB to Natalee, 18, who choked on her own vomit
    Van der Sloot allegedly called his father Paulus at that point, who got a burlap bag and stomped on the body to get it to fit before burying the teen in a park
    Paulus died in 2010 and van der Sloot is serving 28  years in a Peruvian prison for murdering Stephany Flores Ramírez, 21, in 2010
    He will be extradited to the US after finishing out that sentence to face charges that he tried to extort the Holloways after their daughter's death

Thanks, Blue Moon!  Good to see you!   ::HelloKitty:: ::MonkeyKiss::

I'll never believe it was as simple as Natalee choking on her own vomit.  jmo    ::MonkeyNoNo:: ::MonkeyMad::

Remember Stephany.   ::MonkeyTears::



Hi TM. Good to see you also.

 My heart stopped when I read this this morning.  But I am like you, chocking would be Joran saying "See, I didn't kill her, she died from drinking".  It had to be bad for Paulus to step in and cover it all up for his baby boy. jmo.

I so hope they have found her and she can come home to be in peace. From all that I have read they only found "some" human remains which means it is only partial remains.  I hope this is it but not holding my breath.

Kelly set up an FBI sting, in which he wired $25,000. Van der Sloot then stated he buried Natalee’s body in the foundation of a specific house. Authorities quickly determined he was lying, but before the feds could nab him for extortion, though, van der Sloot escaped to Peru.

Father finds rest in park after tip
Rests Natalee Holloway possibly found
Yesterday, 18:37

After twelve years, Natalee Holloway has been found. After a new tip, her father Dave has excavated human remains in a park on Aruba.

Whether the remains of his missing daughter must show DNA research. Dave unveiled Wednesday in the NBC program Today, that, with the help of private detective TJ Ward, after 18 months of research, he may have achieved a breakthrough in this case.

He told the program that he got a tip from a former housewife of Joran van der Sloot's best friend. This tipler claims that Joran GHB had been in Natalee's drink, after which the 18-year-old American stabbed her own vomit. Joran called his father Paul; The two bury the body according to the tipger in the park.

Dave said that after all disappointments he had not expected to actually find human remains. "I know there is a possibility that someone else is going, so I'll just wait." The investigation takes time; The results will be announced next month.

Traceless
Natalee disappeared in May 2005 on a vacation with student friends in Aruba. She was last seen in partnership with Van der Sloot, who is currently punishing a sentence of 28 years in Peru for the murder of Stephany Flores Ramirez (21). Joran's father died in 2010 after receiving a heart attack during a tennis game.

Hi all!

Photobucket raised it's rates recently and if you didn't have a payed account there's not much you can do, but 3rd party, hosting is out of this world!

PhotoBucket now charges $399 for third-party hosted images

by Martin Brinkmann on June 30, 2017 in Internet - Last Update:July 2, 2017  119
If you have visited a website recently that displays images hosted on Photobucket, or are embedding images hosted on Photobucket on your own, you may have had a rather rude awakening one day as Photobucket decided to block these images from being displayed on third-party sites.

All Photobucket images hosted on third-party sites, at least from what we can tell, are replaced by a dummy image. It reads: Please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting. For important info, please go to www.photobucket.com/P500.

Tip: We have published a Photobucket alternatives guide for users of the service who are looking for an alternative.

According to some users that we spoke with who are affected by this, this happened without prior notice or any form of warning on Photobucket's part.

Sad that we can't reach out to Jossy and get his take on things anymore.  I agree, he was one of the good guys.

Is Diario still published? Is there a new editor to replace Jossy?

Peter R. de Vries puts big questions on 'find' Natalee Holloway

Crime reporter Peter R. de Vries puts big question on the finding of human remains on Aruba. The father of twelve years ago, missing Natalee Holloway, declared Wednesday that he found rests that may be of his daughter. De Vries speaks of 'a strange story' and a weird research.

Chris Klomp 17-08-17, 12:58 Last update: 13:08

Father Dave Holloway released Wednesday in the NBC program Today on the news that, after months of research, he collided with private detective T.J. Ward has been able to dig human remains in a park on the Caribbean island of Aruba. The investigation further showed that the girl was given ghb from Dutchman Joran van der Sloot and then stitched when she had to surrender.

That of human remains I find a very strange story
Peter R. de Vries
It is not accidental that Dave Holloway comes up with news on the matter. On the next Saturday, the US radio station Oxygen will broadcast a documentary about the father's search.

Question Marks
Crime reporter Peter R. de Vries puts a lot of questions on the discovery. "In the first place, you'll start the ears right away. But then you'll see what they've been doing online and are going to notice things. Thus, they claim to have found human remains, but it is, of course, bizarre that the police and justice of Aruba are completely out of place. That's even a death sentence in my eyes. That you are digging an assault on an alleged place, destroying traces and ensuring that the police and the judiciary can not capture the circumstances under which they took place. "

De Vries also has doubts about the finding of the remains himself. "They say that research has shown that it was about human remains, but what did you actually find? Because if there were a body there would you just be a skull and do not you have to investigate if anything is human or not? Do you see that right? A skull is one of the last things that perish, and if an animal had something to be excavated, I suppose traces would have occurred before. "

Dna
What was heavenly motivation to do this outside of the police and justice?
Peter R. de Vries
According to the crime reporter, the father did not find a whole body. "At least, no skeleton has been found and then I think: what's this? If you say your research needed, then it sounds like you've only found a few bones. They further claim that the DNA research will be available in a month. While they have been in possession of the evidence for a long time. If the Dutch Forensic Institute (NFI) was involved, we would have just known it at the end of the week. "

On the suggestion that the father might have come out with the news to promote a documentary broadcast on Saturday, De Vries makes no statements. "I can not look into that. I used to be used to this before, sometimes things just collapse. "

De Vries still points out that the father's action may give rise to major problems for the evidence. "They owe some explanation. What was heavenly motivation to do this outside of the police and justice? For example, imagine a hole in the skull or other traces indicating a cause of death. If a judge wants something like that, then any future suspect, Joran van der Sloot, can say, what are those excavated things worth? These items are uncoverable for two months, which have been dug up and then swept those two months everywhere, who have gone to many private laboratories. Who says that nothing has happened to those things? "

The ghb story by Dave Holloway's tipger is somewhat similar to what has already been known. "Joran van der Sloot has previously stated that Natalee suddenly became unwell and began to shake and shake and had blind eyes, so at least Joran has previously hung up. But that of human remains I find a very strange story. "

So I suspicion it's a Dutch lab looking at the alleged remains. You know as well as I do from this board alone that these test can be concluded in 48 hours.

In my opinion TES did a thorough job looking at all areas - ya, I get it - allegedly 'moved'. I just don't see how Natalee could have been overlooked for 12 years in some "park" setting. Makes little to no sense. Someone would have stumbled upon her long before now.

If she was hidden in a morgue - yeah, hard to stumble upon her there if she is or was concealed. Aruba is only 19 miles by 7 miles - there are no unknown areas that aren't traversed by people all the time. This isn't like a 500 square mile State park where anything could get lost or be hidden.

Also, for anyone wondering if the authorities suddenly decided to "unearth" Natalee - no way. They made their bed and are content to live in it.

Just like you - I have no idea what's really going on here - however, I remain very skeptical. And that's not because I don't think Natalee won't be found or can't be found (and that's truly a possibility) it's just that this story so far doesn't lend alot of credence.

Peter R. de Vries puts big questions on 'find' Natalee Holloway

Crime reporter Peter R. de Vries puts big question on the finding of human remains on Aruba. The father of twelve years ago, missing Natalee Holloway, declared Wednesday that he found rests that may be of his daughter. De Vries speaks of 'a strange story' and a weird research.

Chris Klomp 17-08-17, 12:58 Last update: 13:08

Father Dave Holloway released Wednesday in the NBC program Today on the news that, after months of research, he collided with private detective T.J. Ward has been able to dig human remains in a park on the Caribbean island of Aruba. The investigation further showed that the girl was given ghb from Dutchman Joran van der Sloot and then stitched when she had to surrender.

That of human remains I find a very strange story
Peter R. de Vries
It is not accidental that Dave Holloway comes up with news on the matter. On the next Saturday, the US radio station Oxygen will broadcast a documentary about the father's search.

Question Marks
Crime reporter Peter R. de Vries puts a lot of questions on the discovery. "In the first place, you'll start the ears right away. But then you'll see what they've been doing online and are going to notice things. Thus, they claim to have found human remains, but it is, of course, bizarre that the police and justice of Aruba are completely out of place. That's even a death sentence in my eyes. That you are digging an assault on an alleged place, destroying traces and ensuring that the police and the judiciary can not capture the circumstances under which they took place. "

De Vries also has doubts about the finding of the remains himself. "They say that research has shown that it was about human remains, but what did you actually find? Because if there were a body there would you just be a skull and do not you have to investigate if anything is human or not? Do you see that right? A skull is one of the last things that perish, and if an animal had something to be excavated, I suppose traces would have occurred before. "

Dna
What was heavenly motivation to do this outside of the police and justice?
Peter R. de Vries
According to the crime reporter, the father did not find a whole body. "At least, no skeleton has been found and then I think: what's this? If you say your research needed, then it sounds like you've only found a few bones. They further claim that the DNA research will be available in a month. While they have been in possession of the evidence for a long time. If the Dutch Forensic Institute (NFI) was involved, we would have just known it at the end of the week. "

On the suggestion that the father might have come out with the news to promote a documentary broadcast on Saturday, De Vries makes no statements. "I can not look into that. I used to be used to this before, sometimes things just collapse. "

De Vries still points out that the father's action may give rise to major problems for the evidence. "They owe some explanation. What was heavenly motivation to do this outside of the police and justice? For example, imagine a hole in the skull or other traces indicating a cause of death. If a judge wants something like that, then any future suspect, Joran van der Sloot, can say, what are those excavated things worth? These items are uncoverable for two months, which have been dug up and then swept those two months everywhere, who have gone to many private laboratories. Who says that nothing has happened to those things? "

The ghb story by Dave Holloway's tipger is somewhat similar to what has already been known. "Joran van der Sloot has previously stated that Natalee suddenly became unwell and began to shake and shake and had blind eyes, so at least Joran has previously hung up. But that of human remains I find a very strange story. "

De Vries's complaint is the only thing that gives me hope........ not involving the Aruban police!!!

Monks and Monkettes - look back at Paulus' behavior - was that the behavior of someone who thought she would be found?

His behavior told me that he was simply worried that some forensics would tie them to the crime. He didn't appear too worried Natalee was going to be found. Simply worried that Joran's pimp hut was the lynch-pin to bring it all down.

Oh, just thought of something else - what about the 12 other Americans that went missing on Aruba before Natalee? We documented all of those.

What about Max DeVries? Bud Larson? And many others. Bud never even made it into the water when he disappeared. In my opinion - it's more likely him.

Obviously, some crime happened to Bud. Rumors were that he was buried somewhere and never found.

This case could be closure for someone - but I have to wonder how likely it's Natalee when it could be more fitting for some others that vanished. Would love to be wrong.

This is part of a transcription of a show John Ludwick was on back in 2010, kinda gives his version of the history between him and Joran at that time.

No matter what corner of the globe Joran van der Sloot traveled to he found his personal demons soon followed.  When his father died unexpectedly in February, 2010, Joran sold his failing coffeeshop in Thailand, flew back to Aruba and moved in with his mother.  A few days after he arrived Joran met John Ludwick.

Video of John Ludwick
"I told him I recognized him and he gave me his phone number and asked if I wanted to hang out, and we ended up hanging out.  About two days after I'd first met Joran is when his dad's memorial was being held in Aruba and he invited me to go so I went and I was actually his only friend his age there.  That's when right from the beginning he knew I was a real friend because I showed up at his dad's memorial and I just had met him."

Louis B. Schlesinger, Ph.D.
Forensic Psychologist
"Interestingly many other individuals will attach themselves to psychopaths.  So they can often be charming, they can be somewhat charismatic, and they can find that a lot of people want to associate with them."

Joran soon slipped into his old habits.

Video of John Ludwick
"When we'd go out to bars and stuff some girls would recognize him you know and want to talk to him, and be attracted to the celebrity if you call it...I mean he kind of liked the notoriety, you know he'd get them drinks, they'd hug on him and stuff; and they'd want to hang out with him later on.  I remember one time like probably two days after I met him, we're hanging out at the Excelsior casino at the Holiday Inn...the same place he met Natalee...and later that night we'd walked along the beach back behind the Marriott which is the area he said he was with Natalee...and you know we met some girls there and we picked them up.  That was just weird in my head like man I was just in the same casino and just the same spot that all this stuff happened with Natalee...and I'm with Joran doing the same stuff like...this is crazy."

Around this time the relationship became very tense between Joran and his mother.

Video of John Ludwick
"He had got home at like 6 in the morning from at the casino with me and she was sitting on his bed waiting for him.  And she got in a big fuss you know...you lied to me...all this stuff."

After being confronted by his mother, Joran moved in with Ludwick and soon van der Sloot started talking about what had happened to Natalee Holloway.  Some of this came as they watched a television movie about her disappearance.

Video of John Ludwick
"Yeah it was kinda weird the night we watched the Natalee Holloway movie together.  You know I'm sitting next to on the couch the guy that the movie's about.  And he told me what parts of the movie were true and not and stuff like when they said they were going up to the lighthouse to look for sharks, he said that wasn't true, you can't see sharks from up there."

Joran never revealed the specifics of what happened to Natalee Holloway but he implied that her death was an accident.

Video of John Ludwick
"I don't get the sense of regret you know I never got a sense of there was an intentional causing of anything.  I got more of a sense of you know the situation happened and there was nothing I could do about it."

But in the world of Joran van der Sloot the lines between fact and fiction had become so blurred that it was impossible to tell what was true and what wasn't.

Video of John Ludwick
"But I'd be like Joran you know you said you dumped her in the swamp...there's no way, that swamp is dry and stuff...and he'd laugh.  He knew it was a lie you know and he knew that I knew it was.  And he said I can't change the past, I can't change what happened, I am who I am and I might as well make money off of it."

Joran's next move would be one of his most audacious.  He made contact with Natalee's mom, Beth Holloway.

Video of John Ludwick
"He said he wanted to clear his conscience to Beth and I was kind of aware when he was trying to make contact to come clean as he would say."

Over a series of emails Joran told Beth that because his father had just died he was finally ready to come clean and reveal the location of Natalee's body, but it would come at a price...two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Louis B. Schlesinger, Ph.D.
Forensic Psychologist
"He's using his father's death to help himself as an explanation for now why he's now gonna tell the truth and why Beth Holloway should now give him two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to tell the truth.  He wants to portray himself always as a victim.  What does this have to do with his father's death?  Nothing."


Video of Bryan Burrough
Special Correspondent, Vanity Fair
"I was stunned, both that he would be so stupid and so desperate.  He clearly believed that there was no way that he was going to be brought to justice for what had happened to Natalee.  I mean he'd already told what six, seven, eight...different stories...what's a ninth if I can get some money?" 

The plan was to send Beth's lawyer John Q. Kelley to Aruba to handle the actual transaction with Joran.  Kelley contacted the FBI which assigned a dozen agents to the operation in Aruba.

Louis B. Schlesinger, Ph.D.
Forensic Psychologist
"Van der Sloot knew that Misses Holloway wanted to know really where her daughter's body was to gain some sense of closure, to be able to put this behind her in some way.  Van der Sloot was astute enough to enough to recognize that and he played on her emotion."

Meanwhile the FBI had placed audio bugs and hidden cameras throughout a hotel room in the Marriott and in Kelley's car to record the extortion attempt.  Once in room 443, van der Sloot signed an agreement after which Kelley gave him a twenty five thousand dollar down payment with the remainder of the money to be paid when Natalee's body was recovered.  Then van der Sloot and Kelley got into the rental car and drove to a location near the Aruba Racquet Club.  Van der Sloot pointed to a house and said it was his father who buried Natalee's body under the building.

Louis B. Schlesinger, Ph.D.
Forensic Psychologist
"Joran described himself as a pathological liar.  You can't believe anything he said because somebody like him lies when they don't have to lie, that's what a pathological liar is...they're not necessarily lying only to escape wrongdoing...they lie when they don't have to lie; because they feel a sense of control over other people."

No body was ever found and in an email exchange with Kelley dated May 17th...just a week after the alleged extortion Joran admitted to lying about the location of Natalee Holloway's remains.

Louis B. Schlesinger, Ph.D.
Forensic Psychologist
"He did it in a sadistic and cruel fashion which I think speaks volumes as to really what's inside of van der Sloot, which is nothing human; it's machine-like."

After getting his money Joran collected his things and got ready to leave Aruba.

Video of John Ludwick
"Joran told me he was going to Peru, just to get away from his mom and all the stress.  He told me he was just going to get an apartment and live down there for a year until he went back to Thailand."

Tipped off that he might be trying to leave the Country, Aruban investigators consulted with FBI officials who in a fateful decision decided not to arrest Joran for extortion while he was still in Aruba.

Peter Blanken
Chief Public Prosecutor, Aruba
"The FBI was not ready with their arrest warrant.  And they approved...the American authorities approved that he was going to go to another country...go to Colombia and to Peru and that when they were ready with their proceedings, he could be arrested in another country."

Van der Sloot left Aruba and by May 14th, he had checked into Room 309 at the Hotel Tac in Lima, Peru.  A week later van der Sloot met Stephany Flores, and in the early morning of May 30th...five years to the day that Natalee Holloway disappeared...the two were seen playing Poker together at the Atlantic City Casino in Lima.  At about five in the morning surveillance cameras show that they return to Joran's room at the Hotel Tac.  Less than four hours later, Joran left the room alone and fled Peru. 

Stephany Flores was never seen alive again.

If what they're testing was actually first dug up in 2010, no.

Robyn went missing August 2, 2011.

I immediately thought there is no way they got a DNA sample out of Aruba to an independent lab. 
And we all know the damned dutch can't be trusted in this case and the Aruban authorities will do everything they can to thwart any effort to solve this case just to thumb their collective noses at the USA.

A Father's Journey for Closure: Why Natalee Holloway's Dad Is Still Searching for Her

A Father's Journey for Closure: Why Natalee Holloway's Dad Is Still Searching for Her
 Elaine Aradillas,People 5 hours ago
Reactions  Like  Reblog on Tumblr  Share  Tweet  Email
Dave Holloway is a father searching for closure.

Describing to PEOPLE the toll that searching for his daughter Natalee has taken on him, he says, “There are times when I’ve been in a panic situation – blood pressure goes up, you think you’re having a heart attack, and it all comes down to the stress of all of this.”

He adds, “You get to the point in your life and say, ‘Are you just going to forget about it?’ But you really can’t. If a lead comes up, you have to make a choice – you’re either going to pursue it or spend the rest of your life worrying about it.”

Natalee Holloway went missing during a high school graduation trip to Aruba more than 12 years ago. Dave’s quest to find out what happened to her is the focus of the six-part series The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, which premieres Saturday (7 p.m. ET) on Oxygen.

For a long time, authorities and Natalie’s family have suspected Joran van der Sloot was responsible for her disappearance. He has never faced trial in connection with the case, but he is currently serving a 28-year sentence for an unrelated murder in Peru.

Without information from van der Sloot to assist them, Dave and criminal investigator T.J. Ward have chased lead after lead, including one to Nicaragua, only to face many dead ends. Each time Dave pursues another fruitless lead, it’s as if he goes through the healing process again.

“How many times do we have to bury her?” he asks. ::snipping3::

If a body were buried illegally in a shallow grave less than 2ft deep, the decomposition rate is only 18 months to three years. That's banking on disturbance by small mammals and insects. Whereas, with a proper burial, with the coffin deep in the ground, the decomposition rate is much slower. The ground conditions affect the decomposition rate. If the coffin is sealed in a very wet, heavy clay ground, the body tends to last longer because the air is not getting to the deceased. If the ground is light, dry soil, decomposition is quicker. Generally speaking, a body takes 10 or 15 years to decompose to a skeleton. ::snipping3::

Skills learned at body farms can help across the globe. When mass graves are found in places like Kosovo, Iraq or Rwanda, examiners can determine the corpses' race and time of death, which helps identify the regime responsible for their death. It can also be determined if the victims were shot, beaten or killed with a blow to the head. ::snipping3:: ::MonkeyTears::

Hi Susebear!   :smt006

Wish I knew what was going on too.

If I understand correctly, they've filmed six episodes, but still don't know if the remains are Natalee's or not.  That in itself is disconcerting to me if this find is the focus of the series.  Not to mention wondering if we need to watch the series to find out if it's really her.  Another six weeks of drama while we wait sprinkled with weekly doses of Gabriel Madrigal/John Ludwick intrigue?  My heart can't take it!  Maybe most of the time in each episode is focused on the events of the last twelve years, with segments of their current investigation in each episode?  Wouldn't you want to know before you put all the promotions out there?  I'm seen so many headlines saying she's found.  What if it's not her, or they can't prove it is?  Or maybe they do know, and are under agreement not to tell?  grrrr  I don't know, and I should have probably left it at that, lol.

Natalee Holloway's Dad Leads Investigators In New Special as Authorities Dispute Discovery of Remains

Inside Edition
August 17, 2017

 ::snipping3::

Holloway has returned to Aruba for the six-part special on the Oxygen cable network, which begins Saturday.

Holloway and Ward say an informant has led them to the backyard of a house where Natalee's body could be buried. Bones were allegedly discovered at the location.

Based on an excerpt from the Oxygen special, police in Aruba were dubious about the new information, saying in a statement to Inside Edition that the bones found were not human remains.

Whatever the outcome of the DNA test, a father's quest for justice is as strong as ever.

Maybe they're hurting enough with the situation in Venezuela?  You know it has to be hitting them hard, whether they admit it or not.

TJ said if the remains aren't Natalee's, they need to know who they belong to.  Monkeys need to know who was in the fish trap too!   ::Baseball::

You know they've probably heard that the monkeys aren't buying the BS about the fish trap, and aren't going to shut up about it.   ::MonkeyDevil::  ::MonkeyGavel::

Honestly, I don't know for sure.

One of the stories John Ludwick supposedly told is that he helped Joran or Joran paid him to dig up the remains in 2010 and they took them and cremated them and threw them in the ocean at low tide.  I've read on fb that was a lie.  I've also read on fb (from some that appear to be supporting Gabe) that they did cremate some, but not all of the remains, and that someone kept a souvenir.  I think what is being tested was only recovered in the last few months (end of April, I think), no idea how much was found.  If any of the first story was true, maybe only a souvenir?  Awful to even think about.

Hi again - just remembering how much time we all spent here, and some of the characters (Monkeys and random others). Remember the banana boat? bus? Christmas tree? many exertions on the murder & crime thread. (At this point I should say that I experienced several monumental family and health problems and simply lacked time or energy for other pursuits.)

Texas Mom, and OMG Klaas - you are amazing. Your personal memory, and what you've got tucked away in some computer place, is brilliant.

I don't expect anything from this latest version of the Natalee story. Just another attempt to make a buck off a tragedy.

msmarple, I've been amazed over the years, how often I'd go to a page in the murder & crime thread and have others there as well reading from the bleachers.  Even in the quietest times, when there wasn't anything case related in the news! 

It could probably still be a full time job for someone, with a strong stomach.   ::MonkeyWink::

Has Natalee Holloway Finally Been Found After Missing in Aruba for 12 Years? (VIDEO)

AFTER 12 YEARS, HAS NATALEE HOLLOWAY FINALLY BEEN FOUND?

Dave Holloway, the father of missing and deceased Natalee Holloway, is stating along with private investigator T.J. Ward that they may have finally found her remains.  According to Dave Holloway and TJ Ward, remains have been discovered in the long-unsolved disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba and they have been determined to be human. Now, DNA tests will have to be conducted. The new lead was a product of the individual known as Gabriel.  This new discovery  was the result of an 18-month investigation with Ward, a search that was documented for an Oxygen TV show that debuts Saturday, “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.” I can only hope for the family’s sake that this is legitimate and will finally bring closure for Beth, Dave and the rest of Natalee’s family. Natalee Holloway went missing on May 30, 2005 in Aruba.

Remember the original post from 2005: This Can’t Be Good For Tourism, Where’s Natalee Holloway.

Hey Monkeys! It's so great to see y'all Klass, TM, Rob, Bluemoon, Bearlyhere, Keethefaith, Msmarple, Wreck, Blonde, Susebear, Red!!!! I've got my fingers crossed and my DVR set to record but I'm not getting my hopes up. So many crazy stories twists and turns even 12 years later! I'm glad at the very least this is keeping the case in the news. I read back some and it looks like one of these new stories has to do with cremation. I'm currently watching a show called American Ripper and they were talking about cremation to get rid of a body so they went to an actual human crematorium and were shocked at the remains (bones) that were still there after a proper human cremation. So if that happened there should be small pieces of bone left. But I don't know why you wouldn't just throw that in the ocean. I pray Natalee will be found one day soon. I was happy to see the photo from Matt's wedding. I'll check back in tomorrow night after the first show. Love to y'all!

It doesn't take that long to test for DNA. I mean, in order to have this show ready they had to have found the remains awhile ago. I wonder if Dave and TJ are under a gag order to not disclose they have the results. I mean, the details of this show are pretty well leaked, except the DNA. Maybe they know but can't say to keep viewers tuning in. I'm so hopeful that this is real but scared to be hopeful. It's a teeny bit encouraging that the Aruban police aren't involved. But then, why would the remains go to a Dutch lab? Can you find human remains in a country and not turn that info over? Makes sense the arubans might send the remains to the Dutch but not that Dave would trust them.

🤞🤞

NATALEE HOLLOWAY'S CLASSMATE REMEMBERS THE ARUBA TRIP: "WE THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE"
AUGUST 17, 2017 • 3:17 PM ET
"Is she okay? Is she hurting? Is she still alive?"

The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway premieres Saturday, August 19 at 7/6c and 9/8c.

Natalee Holloway vanished on May 30, 2005, while on a high school graduation trip to Aruba. The 18-year-old honor student and dancer had finished high school just days before the trip.

Jessica Caiola, who had just graduated with Natalee in 2005 and was friends with her, was also on the same class trip to Aruba. Jessica sat down with us to talk about her experience in Aruba when Natalee went missing.

In Part 1 (below), Jessica describes Natalee as a kind and smart person. She also recalls seeing Joran van der Sloot, who police investigated but never charged in connection with Natalee's disappearance, at the casino when she was attending.

In Part 2 (below), Jessica goes on to say that she believes Joran van der Sloot is indeed the person who killed Natalee Holloway and that she may have still been alive early on in the investigation.

Jessica also provided two photos from the night Natalee went missing, wearing the same clothing in which she was last seen. Below are two photos with captions directly from Jessica herself.

(http://www.oxygen.com/sites/nbcuoxygen/files/styles/blog-post-embedded--computer/public/natalee-jessica2.jpeg?itok=YuzznzOf)

Jessica: "This is a picture in which Natalee is standing on the left side of the picture and she’s talking to a boy. I’m not able to identify who the boy is because his back is turned. So you just see Natalee talking to a boy on a stage. We are in Aruba at Carlos and Charlie’s and it is our last night.  Natalee is wearing the same outfit that she went missing in. On the stage with her is a bunch of our other classmates.  I was able to identify almost all of them and I blurred their faces for anonymity, I don’t want to upset anyone.  And I don’t know why I took this picture.  I think I took it cause everyone was on the stage and it was hilarious and awesome and everyone was having an amazing time. There’s one of my friends wearing a sombrero, we were having an amazing time and I just remember being like I want to remember this moment, I want to capture this and I want to remember us all together in Aruba before we all go our separate ways. But like I said what I find so interesting about these pictures is never in my life before this moment had I taken a picture of Natalee, she was never in my pictures. So I definitely think that that night there was something - that I wanted to be around her."

(http://www.oxygen.com/sites/nbcuoxygen/files/styles/blog-post-embedded--computer/public/natalee-jessica1.jpeg?itok=WDuh8TrB)

Jessica: "The second picture was taken before we got to the club, Carlos and Charlie’s, we are still at our hotel, it is the night Natalee went missing.  She’s still wearing her same blue jean skirt and that green teal shirt. We had just finished taking pictures on the beach with all of our friends and she is sitting right across from me and we’re talking and she’s sitting on one of our other mutual, good friends. She’s sitting on her lap and it’s a beautiful moment of friendship and it just it reminded me that she was my friend, she wasn’t my best friend, she was my friend. We were talking and we were eating dinner - about to eat dinner."

Dave talks about the fish trap and the fabric that the FBI tested that didn't match Natalee's top, but didn't say anything about the human remains Tim Miller said they found. 

They refer to a national park where John supposedly dug up the remains, Arikok is the only one that I know of on Aruba.  I think it's about 20 percent of the island iirc.  I've often wondered if that's where Robyn Gardner is buried.

No Human Remains Found In Search For Natalee Holloway: Prosecutor
By David Lohr

Dave Holloway, father of missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, said on national television this week that he found human bones in Aruba, where his daughter vanished a dozen years ago, and submitted them for DNA testing.

The announcement came just three days before the Saturday premiere of a new TV series featuring Dave Holloway and private investigator T.J. Ward.

“When we determined these remains were human, I was shocked,” Holloway said Wednesday on the “Today” show.

But Holloway’s claim is questionable. Aruba Public Prosecutor Dorean Kardol told HuffPost on Friday that “no human remains were found” in the area Holloway pointed out.

“During an investigation by police in an area indicated by Mr. Holloway, we found remains, but they were found to be from animals,” Kardol said.
 ::snipping3::

Dave Holloway’s new TV show, “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,” premieres Saturday on the Oxygen network.

He told HuffPost on Wednesday that the remains found in Aruba have been brought to the United States for DNA testing. He declined to identify the lab.

“They are in the testing process,” he said, adding that results may take several weeks. “It’s a reputable lab and that’s all I can tell you at this point.”

Holloway said in a text message Friday, after the prosecutor revealed the apparent discrepancy in his earlier statement, that the prosecutor’s comment is misleading. Ward, his TV show partner, “had the evidence and has a report from the lab,” Holloway said. He referred further questions to the Oxygen Network, which didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Removing human remains from Aruba would be illegal without authorization, according Kardol. If that happened, she said her office will consider criminal charges.

The FBI has been unable to locate records of human remains being brought into the U.S. from Aruba in connection with the Natalee Holloway case, a spokesperson for the bureau said.

If Holloway did find the remains of his daughter and remove them for testing, the evidence would be useless in prosecuting the killer. Tampering with evidence violates the so-called chain of custody designed to ensure physical items are preserved in the state they were found.

“If we wanted to take the case to court, we would be in trouble because we could not use that evidence,” Kardol said.

This article has been updated to include Holloway’s latest comment.

I still believe something was found here.  They tried to say it was the body of a child or something but I don't believe it.  The Aru-bay people were following the police search for Natalee.  From the Aru-bay videos (I have the full videos somewhere):

So Dave says yes human remains and yet another Prosecutor says no.  Gee, who do I believe?  ::boxjoran::  I will be surprised if it's Natalee but not surprised it's human remains.  ::boxjoran::

I see Aruba is as evil as ever.  Of course they would say it was animal bones.  With the number of missing people on that island they sure don't want any of them found and have their little island exposed.

I am afraid that Dave is in for another huge letdown.  If the story is true and she was cremated then Aruba officials helped to do it and it would not have been the first one they had done. jmo

I've been trying to figure out why Joran would have been more concerned at that time than any other that she would be found.
There was the map he'd supposedly given Terror Jaap, remember all of that?  I remember they were planning a trip to go check that out when Beth went to Peru and confronted Joran.  So maybe that was what had him concerned?  Wasn't that tip supposedly in the Bubali Bird Sanctuary?

Hey TM - so, this is Arikok national park where the remains were found?

I went there once. Once is more than enough. It's very very rugged there. It's what Aruba would look like if it wasn't commercialized.

Lots of giant boulders. Someone once told me that some were rolled from Venezuela. No idea if that's accurate at all - but its' the local fable. I guess this happened around 13,000 BC when the ocean levels were much lower due to the ice age. Anyway, there are probably bones all over that area. I'm sure people have just died over there during the millennia.

One boulder is a big as a house and you can walk up on it.

I haven't heard them say Arikok specifically yet, but they keep saying national park.

Yes, I've seen pictures of very rugged areas, but there are other more lush areas too.

UPDATE June 26, 2017

The National Disaster Council has declared that we are reaching the end of the Oil Spill Crisis.
We still have work to do on the cleanup of the oil that washed up on the coastline of Aruba.

Natural Pool and Park Beaches are officially open again. We do ask that all visitors be well aware of their surroundings and keep an eye out for small tar that may still be on the sand.

Please review below instructions if you come in contact with Oil and how to remove from your skin.

ORANJESTAD - Joran van der Sloot, chief suspect in the disappearance case Natalee Holloway, looks set to put his cell punishment on Aruba. He is willing to make a deal with justice and tell them the truth once and for all.

Not out of pity, empathy or indignation for the survivors, but for personal gain. In his own written book, he finds all the evidence.

This is evidenced by the report of crime reporter John van den Heuvel called 'The Secret Joran Tapes: The Madness of a Murderer', which was screened on Dutch television on Thursday night.

The broadcast shuffled 1.6 million viewers on the tube and was the second best viewed Dutch program of the evening. In the broadcast, Van den Heuvel visits the heavily protected Challapalca prison, which is also called the 'hell of Peru'.

According to one of Joran's lawyers, Jaime Canales, the situation is so bad that Amnesty International has repeatedly stated that the building should close its doors. Spuugzat Van den Heuvel received letters from Joran from the Challapalca Prison, which would prove to be "spuugzat" and would like to be delivered to another country.

However, another lawyer from Joran, Maximo Altez, claims that Joran has also become "grown up" and shows responsibility for his family. " "He has changed, his personality has changed," said Altez.

According to the crime reporter, a great opportunity to talk to him about the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Save the crime The crime reporter starts the conversation airy by asking how he is doing. Joran:

"Yes, reasonable. I first saw my daughter a few weeks ago, that was very emotional. "

He tells him that he shares the prison with some 160 others and spends his time with a "little impression, reading a lot and playing chess." He seems to be able to save, "concludes Van den Heuvel. Of the conversation. 'I'll Tell Everything' What's most important in the pictures is that Joran has a lot to do with getting out of the Challapalcage scene.

"I would not mind if I could go to the Netherlands or to Aruba, to a prison in another country",

Said Joran. That's why he wrote a book that, according to him, could be interesting for the Aruban OM.

"I think when I publish the book, I'm being delivered to Aruba. I have no doubt about that. (..) I would not mind bringing them to Aruba. "

In his book he would reveal how the murder of Natalee Holloway has taken place.

"I'm telling everything. Evidently, other things people have never forgotten about, for example, how I've always got money. (..) When I write this book, it is also about that, then that thing is just solved and it is also closed and done. "

On the question of Van den Heuvel why he does not publish the book, Joran responds:

"I want to get the maximum amount. Then I want to financially insure my family. "

However, he also doubts about the publication because he is not yet 100 percent sure if he really wants to make a clean ship.

"It's so ugly it's and I'm so bad about it." "I do not deny it now"

On the death of Natalee Holloway, Joran does not see the back of his tongue, but with a big grin on his face and while holding his hand girlfriend Leidy, he tells why he would have killed Stephanie Flores. On the infamous day they would use drugs in his hotel, he says.

"When I was in the bathroom, I could convince myself that she was an agent of the FBI. That's why I've killed her, how strange it sounds, it's the truth, I'm not denying it either. "


The images of Van den Heuvel are in the hands of the Aruban OM. Whether it is possible to re-open the Holloway case on the basis of the report.

Natalee Holloway's father speaks out on human remains discovery: 'I was shocked'
By Stephanie Nolasco     Published August 18, 2017

 ::snipping3::
Relying on their new information, Dave and T.J. made several trips to Aruba and ended up collecting evidence that tested positive for human remains. Dave also noted that there wasn’t immediate movement from law enforcement concerning their discovery.

“We haven’t heard a word,” he claimed. “I can’t answer that question because you have to go back to 2005… [Back then], I figure, these are police, they know what they’re talking about… Their direction in how they operate is [that] there’s no sense of urgency. So I’m just wondering if we’re dealing with the same thing right now.”

Klaas, do you have a link to those videos? A refresher on a Friday night, while watching the Seahawks, would be appreciated.

TIA

Hi KTF - sorry just saw this.  I'll find the videos and see if I can link them.  There are several videos but I'll see what I can do. 

By the way, I was rooting for the Seahawks too, glad they won!  ::MonkeyFBall:: ::MonkeyCheer3::

Removing human remains from Aruba would be illegal without authorization, according Kardol. If that happened, she said her office will consider criminal charges. ::MonkeyHaHa::

If they were tested in Aruba they would go missing or turned out to be animal ::MonkeyHaHa::

I have been chatting with Gabriel Madrigal.  he wants me to share the link for his daughters go fund me page you can delete klaasend if you feel this is not appropriate


My name is Gabriel Madrigal.  I've spent the better part of the past five years working undercover to solve a 12 year-old crime. Two years ago, my 24 year-old daughter, Cynthia, developed a vaginal tumor.  When the doctors removed it, the tumor was the size of a walnut.  My whole family prayed it would not return.

Over the past six months, when I was working on the case, traveling back and forth to Aruba multiple times, my daughter's cancer returned with a vengeance -- only she refused to tell me because she feared it would interfere with my work. 

The cancer is malignant and has grown to the size of an orange.  Cynthia can no longer walk without excruciating pain.  She has no insurance, and cannot afford the $50,000 for medical treatment and surgery desperately needed to save her life.

I've been sending all of the money I've been able to earn to my daughter, as she can no longer work.   Her illness has cost me all of my savings, but I have to find a way to save her.   I've turned to the internet for help as a last resort.

I have many friends on Facebook who can attest to who I am, and others I've helped over the years.  It pains me to put up this page, but my daughter's life is now on the line.  If you are able to help my daughter, I would be forever grateful.

official statment From the Prosecuter's Office

NO HUMAN SKELETAL REMAINS WERE FOUND DURING INVESTIGATION IN 2017

The Prosecutor’s Office has taken notice of news that was published this week by Mr. Dave Holloway, the father of Natalee Holloway, or that was published in his name. Human skeletal remains would have been possibly found in Aruba, and this discovery would be significant in connection with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

The information coming from Mr. Holloway was investigated earlier this year by the Aruba Police Force, led by the Prosecutor’s Office. During the investigation held by the Police in an area indicated by Mr. Holloway, no human skeletal remains were found.

Mr. Holloway has now apparently published information regarding the results of an investigation completed in Aruba. However, at this moment, there are no new facts or circumstances known to the Prosecutor’s Office and/or to the Aruba Police Force in relation to finds of skeletal remains or human bones that were investigated or would have to be investigated. In case new facts or circumstances surface in the future, they will be seriously investigated.
This applies for every case of a missing person in Aruba.

Jurriën de Jong Yes, the whole story is BS, especially the last two remarks of the Aruban Law Enforcement.
The only chance to find the complete remains of Natalee is by looking underground the Spyglass Tower!

Dave said with the help of the FBI they'd found this story just wasn't true.  I think it was in the first episode, or one of the recent interviews.  I'll have to find it again.

Edit to add, well I watched it twice there last night, but can only view the short sneek peek today. 
Maybe they'd released it earlier than they'd planned and took it back down?

Looks like you can stream the first episode here:

Joran van der Sloot keeps the Marriott on the leash!

Jurriën de Jong Netherlands

"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled" ~ Mark Twain ~ The following information will reveal a big cover-up of more than a decade! For 12 years the world wants Natalee Holloway to be found, so even a vague lead, anonymous tip, or wild speculation was investigated. But an eyewitness who knows excactly where the body of Natalee is hidden, is all of a sudden not taken serious?!  http://uinterview.com/news/natalee-holloway-news-witness-jurrien-de-jong-says-knows-holloway-buried/   In 2013 my request for investigation was denied only because I guessed in the darkness the difference in length between Joran and Natalee wrong by just 4 in/10 cm! This reason for refusal is so ridiculous, and unjust that it confirms that some want to ensure Natalee never is found! My request was turned down again in 2015, this time because the Marriott said construction started in August 2005. That is absolutely untrue, and this photo  https://mediacdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photos/00/10/83/e4/marriott-s-aruba-surf.jpg of June 2005 is solid proof work began previous to that month. So why then was there a stop from the start of June till the end of July 2005, and why would clever businessman Mr. Marriott make such a not so smart decision that meant the loss of lots of his money? The right answer seems too absurd, but is really the only logical reason left: to ensure nobody was on that site present to notice the smell of a decaying body! Dave Holloway, in desperate search for his daughter, did detect this foul smell himself though, but when he wanted to do some further investigation the gate of Marriott remained locked even to him! But what would be the motive of the Marriott to try to cover-up Joran's crime in the first place? You have to know that he confessed of blackmailing people: http://radaronline.com/tag/joran-van-der-sloot/ , and the photo at the top, taken in the Marriott, shows us one of his victims: Jimmy Rock, the son of the head manager, involved in wild sexparties, pornfilming, and God forbid what more! The motive of the Marriott to cover-up Joran's crimes is quite evident now: to protect image, and prevent prosecution! Joran's secrets are so dark that he fears for his life, so he will not reveal anything. We therefore urgently request for an investigation under the Spyglass Tower so Natalee can be found, and her family finally will have closure. Please sign this petition, and may Justice prevail!

It really brought up old emotions watching that video. What Aruba has done to Natalee, Dave, Beth, and many other families who've encountered Danger Island, is utterly despicable.

A terrible thought
We were once again surprised by our American liars who lost their daughter because a certain van der Sloot would have killed her. Now a 6-piece documentary of father was announced that human bones were found and would soon be clear if they were daughter-in-law. Justice of Aruba and insiders did not know any of these "human bones" but the Aruban police later declared that bones were released from an animal about 6 months ago. There was no evidence of human bones and certainly not in the Holloway case.
The terrible thought is then:
We know in the meanwhile, through many statements, that daughter-loving at night has left a private plane from Aruba Airport and that with unknown destination. After that, some people said to have seen her in Mexico and later in South America. In spite of that, the parents continued to point out to the Aruban Beul and were even sentenced by a US court that the daughter died. However, under Aruban law, this is not possible because as long as there is no body there is no dead.
Now the bell is ringing because daughters love was a parent's parent, drug addicted and untenable, if you have to believe the statements of fellow believers. Apparently a few days before departure a million insurance was also made on behalf of this lady. The death game could be played. Unfortunately, only the Aruban justice did not work hard and the FBI unfortunately could not catch their 2 top criminals during this farce performance.
The game was dragged and daughter-loving was pulled into the plane, and she was signaled, among other things, left and right. All of this apparently turned out to be linking to dad and mom, and what had to be done to secure the gold mine. Daughter's love had to be cleaned differently; No premium or death statement and condemnation. That way, one would go worldwide! The suspicion is there and seems increasingly clear that daughter's love is murdered on behalf of her own parents! And that suspicion is because now, many years later, bones emerge, the Aruban police say that they are animal and father claims to be human and perhaps daughter-to-be! Are we talking about the same find and the same bones?
- Where do the bones of dad come from? Not from Aruba that's clear, because those are animal!
- How is a DNA determined, where does that data come from, did you know that you might need DNA from this lady?
- If it appears that there is a match in DNA then these bones certainly DO NOT come from the island of Aruba, that is obvious!
- It has also been proven that daughter-in-law was alive when she left the private plane from Aruba airport!
- Where has the corpse been hidden so long? Because if your father has bones and maybe his daughter, there's a corpse somewhere on this globe that is hiding fearfully!
More and more, it appears that father and mother wanted to get rid of their daughter and worse, apparently wanted to make a lot of money with her disappearance. See the many books and also the movies around her disappearance. But it is also clear now that the corpse is outside of Aruba and now appears suddenly as found in a park on the other side of the island of Aruba!
Pa Holloway is clearly in a very difficult package ending up with this statement and let's hope that his human bones are a "mistake". Otherwise, it is clear that he and his wife are behind the murder of their own daughter. Over the next few weeks, we will see how he will turn out of this terrible situation, because he eventually raised himself as his chief suspect.

During the 2017 research, no word was restored by human wesonan (pap), (ned), (eng) version

SECTION: INCIDENT

Ayera Ministerio I publish a note of a news article published in the public domain and I am currently a member of Mr. Dave Holloway, a member of Natalee Holloway. Possibly it is about restoring human wesonan, what has been said in Aruba and how much interest is related to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

In connection with the information provided by Mr. Holloway, the Armed Forces of Aruba was investigated as a guide to the Public Ministry of Aruba.
During Polis's investigation, I have an area with Mr. Holloway indicating information about the delivery, not the word of rest of human wesonan.
In the meantime, the information is published in the name of Mr. Holloway as a result of an investigation in Aruba. However, he is not currently acquainted with the Public Ministry of na Polis, hechonan nobo of circumstancianan nobo relata cu hayazgonan di weso, cu wordo investigates of mester wordo investigates. If in case they do not, they do not arise in the future, they do serious investigation of esakinan.

Make more clear about the case of disappearance of a person.

During research in 2017 no human bone remedies were found

Yesterday, the Public Prosecutor has taken note of the news that this week has been brought out by or on behalf of Mr. Dave Holloway, father of Natalee Holloway. There may be human bone remedies found on Aruba and could be of importance in connection with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

In response to previous information provided by Mr Holloway, the Corps Police Aruba (KPA), under the auspices of the Public Prosecutor's Office in Aruba, conducted research this year. During that police investigation in an area designated by Mr Holloway, no human bones have been found.

Apparently, by or on behalf of Mr Holloway, information has already been disclosed regarding results of a research conducted in Aruba. However, there are no new facts and circumstances at this time regarding bone marrow at the Public Prosecutor's Office or at the KPA, which are or should be investigated. Should new facts and circumstances come to light in the future, we will be investigating seriously again.

This applies, of course, to any case concerning the loss of a person.

No human skeletal remains were found during investigation in 2017

The Prosecutor’s Office has taken notice of news that was published this week by Mr. Dave Holloway, the father of Natalee Holloway, or that was published in his name. Human skeletal remains would have been possibly found in Aruba, and this discovery would be significant in connection with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

The information coming from Mr. Holloway was investigated earlier this year by the Aruba Police Force, led by the Prosecutor’s Office. During the investigation held by the Police in an area indicated by Mr. Holloway, no human skeletal remains were found.

Mr. Holloway has now apparently published information regarding the results of an investigation completed in Aruba. However, at this moment, there are no new facts or circumstances known to the Prosecutor’s Office and/or to the Aruba Police Force in relation to finds of skeletal remains or human bones that were investigated or would have to be investigated. In case new facts or circumstances surface in the future, they will be seriously investigated.

This applies for every case of a missing person in Aruba.

According to Ward, an individual living in Aruba who claims to have helped van der Sloot dispose of Natalee Holloway’s body, provided the leads that led to the discovery of the bones.
John Ludwick kept bones as a souvenir..

Now if it is her rest, at least the family and Aruba will know what happend to her.
I'm sorry but most of us have mix feelings about this, because how her family, friends and the press try to destroy Aruba like they did.
I think if it's her, after so many years it is time for their excuses yes all of you who tried to buried us alive, the decent people on this Island with no reason, because when she was partyen most of us the Arubans were asleep at home.
And the one they think have killed her was not even born in Aruba but in Holland and we carry the nationality but are and will always be proud to be Arubans.
And that is something a lot of people did not know, so by saying that I hope they start soon with apologies to the people of Aruba.
May she rest in peace.

Joran and his pimp friends preyed on American tourist girls and some local girls for only God knows how long before Natalee.
Joran was 17, underage to be drinking, driving, or gambling.  
Everyone knew it and looked the other way, some even gave him a VIP pass.
Joran had school the next day, his mother actually still teaches there, he should have been in bed that night like most Arubans and not in Carlos n Charlie's.
If you value your tourism, don't allow the locals to prey on tourists.
Joran's mother knew he was a psychopath and could be violent, as he was with his own brothers and others.  Don't get me started on the smear campaign she instigated, promoted, and participated in against Natalee and her family (especially Beth) for the first five years with a lot of local support.  Some even continued to the point of blaming Beth and the FBI for Joran murdering Stephany Flores.
Natalee will never have justice in Aruba, hopefully one day the island will see the importance of prosecuting such crimes instead of covering them up.
Natalee's cloud of injustice will always be over them.  Just have to wonder if they've learned anything, or still look the other way to things that can damage their tourism, and cost more innocent lives?

No apologies, and no vacations to Aruba.  jmo

http://uinterview.com/news/natalee-holloway-news-witness-jurrien-de-jong-says-knows-holloway-buried/



Hi cw618,

Yes, my understanding from the articles is that there are six episodes.  John Ludwick claims to have dug up Natalee's remains in 2010 for or with Joran van der Sloot.  The first claim was that the remains were cremated and thrown in the ocean, other fb posts say some were cremated, some not, and a souvenir was kept by someone, and possibly recently dug up (end of April) behind someone's aunt's house in Aruba.

Bones through customs?  Mail them to yourself or the FBI before you leave?

Dave says a fact that John told Gabriel wasn't known to the public.  Dave knew because one of Deepak and/or Satish's lawyers had talked to him about it in 2005.  TJ agreed that the story has been that Deepak and Satish dropped Joran and Natalee off on the road by the fisherman's huts.  But Dave says he was told in 2005, and Gabriel says John told him, that Joran and Natalee were dropped off on the road by the Marriott that goes down to Moomba Beach.

In the story Gabriel told, after he says they were dropped off he says Joran got two drinks and told them to make one of them a good one (possibly drugged).

I'm wondering now if they're saying he got the drinks from Moomba Beach?  Anywhere else to get a drink right there? 
Would they have still been open after Carlos n Charlie's closed? 
Did Mark Jr. serve up the deadly drink?

Good grief, that would explain some things now wouldn't it?   ::MonkeyNoNo::

Could the human remains found in Aruba be Natalee Holloway? Experts weigh in
By Frank Miles Published August 18, 2017 Fox News

Human remains recently found in Aruba during the latest search for clues in the disappearance of American student Natalee Holloway 12 years ago has many asking if her family might finally find closure.

“It could be her remains, the definitive thing would be doing the DNA tests,” Dr. Michael Baden, former New York City chief medical examiner, told Fox News on Friday. Baden said initial analysis would have told forensics experts whether the remains match in terms of gender, age group, height, and weight, while the further DNA tests would confirm identity.

And if the remains prove to be those of Holloway, who was 18 when she disappeared, they could give indications of how she died – and whether she was murdered. “Assuming it’s human,” Baden said of the remains, “we would know immediately. It [also] depends on which bones they have.”

 ::snipping3::

Information leading to the recently discovered remains first came from an informant named Gabriel, who befriended the former roommate of Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch man Natalee was last seen with outside a bar before her disappearance. Van der Sloot, now 30, currently is serving a 28-year sentence in a Peruvian jail for killing business student Stephany Flores — five years to the day after Natalee’s disappearance.

According to the informant, van der Sloot attempted to kiss Natalee after her drink was spiked with date rape drug GHB. But when Natalee began to foam at the mouth, he panicked, and she fatally choked on her vomit. Van der Sloot then allegedly placed Natalee’s folded corpse in a burlap sack, Gabriel said, and buried her in an Aruban park, using a cactus plant to cover his tracks.

Van der Sloot allegedly confessed to his friend in confidence. “They lived together for several months and during those months, Joran shared a lot of information with him that is not public knowledge. … And that’s one of the reasons we pursued this,” David Holloway said.

International law expert Rahul Manchanda told Fox News that if the remains are indeed Holloway’s, prosecutors in Aruba would probably re-file charges against van der Sloot.

“Peru could theoretically consent to an extradition of Joran van der Sloot to face trial in either Aruba or the United States, but this would be a diplomatic matter with the U.S. State Department probably winning out since Natalee Holloway was a U.S. citizen,” Manchanda said. “But since the crime took place in Aruba, the USA would be hard pressed to bring him to the USA, unless both Aruba and Peru consent, which they probably would in order to maintain good diplomatic relations with the U.S.”

He added, “Either way, the Aruban government looks thoroughly compromised and corrupt, so it would not take a whole lot of arm twisting to transfer the case to the U.S., most likely Miami, Florida or even in Natalee’s home state of Alabama, assuming no objections from Peru or Aruba.”

Manchanda said van der Sloot could also face charges in his home nation of the Netherlands. He said, “The option of conducting a review on the basis of a proven violation of the European Convention on Human Rights has been broadened, Joran could theoretically face the proverbial music in the E.U. as well.”

No Human Remains Found In Search For Natalee Holloway: Prosecutor
By David Lohr

Dave Holloway, father of missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, said on national television this week that he found human bones in Aruba, where his daughter vanished a dozen years ago, and submitted them for DNA testing.

The announcement came just three days before the Saturday premiere of a new TV series featuring Dave Holloway and private investigator T.J. Ward.

“When we determined these remains were human, I was shocked,” Holloway said Wednesday on the “Today” show.

But Holloway’s claim is questionable. Aruba Public Prosecutor Dorean Kardol told HuffPost on Friday that “no human remains were found” in the area Holloway pointed out.

“During an investigation by police in an area indicated by Mr. Holloway, we found remains, but they were found to be from animals,” Kardol said.
 ::snipping3::

Dave Holloway’s new TV show, “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,” premieres Saturday on the Oxygen network.

He told HuffPost on Wednesday that the remains found in Aruba have been brought to the United States for DNA testing. He declined to identify the lab.

“They are in the testing process,” he said, adding that results may take several weeks. “It’s a reputable lab and that’s all I can tell you at this point.”

Holloway said in a text message Friday, after the prosecutor revealed the apparent discrepancy in his earlier statement, that the prosecutor’s comment is misleading. Ward, his TV show partner, “had the evidence and has a report from the lab,” Holloway said. He referred further questions to the Oxygen Network, which didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Removing human remains from Aruba would be illegal without authorization, according Kardol. If that happened, she said her office will consider criminal charges.

The FBI has been unable to locate records of human remains being brought into the U.S. from Aruba in connection with the Natalee Holloway case, a spokesperson for the bureau said.

If Holloway did find the remains of his daughter and remove them for testing, the evidence would be useless in prosecuting the killer. Tampering with evidence violates the so-called chain of custody designed to ensure physical items are preserved in the state they were found.

“If we wanted to take the case to court, we would be in trouble because we could not use that evidence,” Kardol said.

This article has been updated to include Holloway’s latest comment.


So Dave says yes human remains and yet another Prosecutor says no.  Gee, who do I believe?  ::boxjoran::  I will be surprised if it's Natalee but not surprised it's human remains.  ::boxjoran::

Hi All! As I have posted elsewhere - if you swung a cat on Aruba, it would hit somebody's bones ... folks can be kind of expendable behind that sparkling tourist façade.

Joran van der Sloot Accused of $250K Extortion Scam in Natalee Holloway Case
By JOHN QUINONES RUSSELL GOLDMAN  LIMA, Peru June 4, 2010

 ::snipping3::

Van der Sloot and Flores, who was an avid gambler, were playing poker in a Lima casino late Saturday night and Flores was winning big, police said.

Investigators said van der Sloot invited Flores to his room at the Miraflores Hotel Tac to celebrate her winnings. A hotel employee later told police that she heard the couple arguing. Hours later, Flores was dead.

ABC News has learned that her body was not discovered, however, for another four days because van der Sloot had prepaid his room for 14 days and instructed the hotel's front desk not to allow anyone into his room, including the cleaning staff.

Flores' father, Ricardo Flores, is a well known politician and former race car driver in Peru. He was burying his daughter at the same time that van der Sloot was being arrested in Chile. He said that his daughter's death had driven stake through the family's heart.

"It's not just about my daughter," he said. "There's a matter pending in Aruba and we don't know how many more remain unpunished."

"I think God used my daughter as an element so that another soul could rest in peace, so that the parents of this girl can rest in peace too, knowing that somewhere in the world justice was made for the killing of their daughter," Flores said.

"This man cannot continue to be out in the world killing people. This man needs to pay for his crimes," he said.

"Joran was able to laugh at the crime he committed in Aruba," the father said. "But in Peru he will not be able to laugh."

Dave says a fact that John told Gabriel wasn't known to the public.  Dave knew because one of Deepak and/or Satish's lawyers had talked to him about it in 2005.  TJ agreed that the story has been that Deepak and Satish dropped Joran and Natalee off on the road by the fisherman's huts.  But Dave says he was told in 2005, and Gabriel says John told him, that Joran and Natalee were dropped off on the road by the Marriott that goes down to Moomba Beach.

In the story Gabriel told, after he says they were dropped off he says Joran got two drinks and told them to make one of them a good one (possibly drugged).

I'm wondering now if they're saying he got the drinks from Moomba Beach?  Anywhere else to get a drink right there?  
Would they have still been open after Carlos n Charlie's closed?  
Did Mark Jr. serve up the deadly drink?

Good grief, that would explain some things now wouldn't it?   ::MonkeyNoNo::

For what it's worth:  According to Gabe's supporters on FB, yes they are human, and they are Natalee, and we will know by episode 6.
Edit to add:  One of them also said they wouldn't be doing the documentary if it wasn't her...  okayyyy whatever

I'm watching Episode 2 now, they are talking about Arikok National Park.  
I don't think that's where the recent find was though.

I guess I am of the opinion that -

1. Natalee's bones are not going to be lying around where they can be discovered and reveal a violent death.

2. If her bones were simply lying around they would have been discovered years ago.

3. Joran said he didn't know what happened to her after his father got involved. That was one time where he seemed truthful - but only to absolve himself and blame someone else - his father.

4. Natalee could very well still be on Aruba - but she is concealed.

5. The polis seem to know exactly what happened and what became of Natalee - they are keeping that to themselves. They can't unwind time and undo this mess so why open it all back up and cause more economic harm.

I think we're truly back to where we were on day 30 to be honest. Also, I don't think you need to watch 6 episodes to get to the truth. This seems rather bizarre in and of itself.

Getting the forensics should not take 30 plus days - and voila, nothing.

Hope all is well, Rob. Been quite a long journey and I find it hard to believe that this is "the moment" where the journey has its conclusion. Those POS on that island, in my opinion, took care of assuring that she would not be found. And if she was, they would be in full control of the investigation and be able to continue the cover-up that began with Paulus....As we all know, that is JMO. And you know what they say about opinions  ::MonkeyHaHa:: I always keep the faith and hold out hope that I am wrong and Dave and Beth will one day have closure and Natalee can come hope to rest..

 They were not were simply lying around Joran paid John Ludwick to move them gave a map and told him to burn them..remains were cremated and thrown in the ocean BUT
 John kept a bone or a few bones for himself  .
 Gab became friends with him just to get info..
This took years before John couldn't control himself and told Gab .Then Gab called or gor ahold of Dave Holloway  from what I understand.

But the remains WERE "just laying around" buried 3 feet below a cactus for 5 years BEFORE John dug them up. So Rob is saying there is just no way that would have gone unfound with all the searching and dog sniffing that went on in those first 5 years. And I agree. I was very intrigued when the program teased " information unknown to the public". So when Dave admitted that early on he'd had a conversation with the Kalpoe's lawyer and he said that the brothers had dropped Natalee off not by the fishermans huts but on the road beside the Marriot I thought that was pretty important. I was upset to realize that TJ Ward was unaware of this information. I think the potential drop off spot was very important especially early on. It's frustrating to think there is information unknown to the PI that's been investigating this for 12 years! It makes me wonder what else the Kalpoe lawyer said in that private conversation.

That is what John said, but I find that hard to believe. Joran did not know John at the time of burial, and it is very strange to me that he/his Dad would just happen to bury the body that close to John's aunts house.

I guess I can't see the Dutch "legal system" allowing a body or bones to be discovered.

The Dutch and Aruban authorities used every nuance and loophole to conclude this case without concluding this case. They told you the case was open and the investigation was continuing and nothing was further from the truth. They did that to shut everyone up and to prevent real questions from being answered. What exactly did they do - nothing is what they did unless you consider a PR campaign an actual investigation and I am sure no one here does.

No body / no crime - now, if a body or bones were to be discovered and they were determined to be Natalee's then the fingers are going to be pointing right in their faces - and everyone is going to be stating the obvious. Then the cover-up unwinds and whatever is left of Aruba is finished. The boycott must have work and might still be working because I still see alot of bitching by Arubans after all these years.

If they find Natalee - everyone will be saying this could have been concluded with a proper investigation 12 years ago - why didn't you start a manslaughter case even without a body - which is allowed under the Dutch legal system. There was more than enough evidence to place Joran, Deepak and Satish as the last persons to be in contact with Natalee. They then lied about where they dropped her off - there's your collusion and conspiracy. It was safe to assume that even with no body that Natalee was deceased. There was no need to lie to this degree unless there was a murder. This wasn't a rip tide accident with no body - this was a premeditated crime where the suspects vanished the body. They vanished Natalee because they killed Natalee. I can't think of any legal system where the suspects vanish the body and the legal system says nothing can be done. Protections are built in for the deceased and to protect society from these type of criminals.

Now, further, with a proper investigation (and this investigation was anything but proper using even the most basic legal foundations) - Natalee's loved ones would not have had to suffer endlessly for 12 long painful years. No matter how you look at this - Natalee reappearing is bad news for Aruba. It's not great news for anyone else either - it confirms that Natalee will never be seen on this Earth again. She is mortally gone. She is not forgotten, but she is gone. That's a deep and painful thought itself, even after having 12 years to allow for acceptance. Even the smallest sliver of hope is extinguished. I'm not kidding myself and saying that anyone thinks Natalee is alive - however, no parent wants to face the death of their child, especially to murder. And especially a life that had so much promise. The expectations for Natalee were high because Natalee was a stellar human being.

A proper burial and prayer service would be all that would remain. Some small amount of solace - but still tremendous pain for those who loved and knew Natalee.

Think about the overall dynamics - the suspects were known - the authorities did everything and anything to keep them from accountability - and then to add insult to injury they didn't even attempted to squeeze these suspects for information that would have atleast revealed her final location - hence, we're still trying for a conclusion after 12 years.

And if Natalee was moved around and lying in some shallow grave - then more shame for Aruba for not finding her and truly concluding this case. That confirms they had no desire to find Natalee and no desire to ever charge Joran, Deepak and Satish. It also confirms that they have little regard for their paying guests and their safety.

Aruba did everything wrong - and created the worst case of bad karma I have ever seen. They deserve the scorn and ridicule. I wish them many more decades of bad luck.

Prosecutor To Close Natalee Holloway Case
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/prosecutor-to-close-natalee-holloway-case/?fref=gc


Aruban Chief Prosecutor Eric Olthof, appointed to the position in 2014, disagrees. "What is important to know is that the Holloway case has not been closed,'' Olthof told AL.com. "As I said before: If new tips and leads, that are sufficiently concrete and well-founded, surface in the near future, they will be investigated by the police and Prosecutor's Office in the hope to finally conclude this case and bring the suspect or suspects to justice

But the remains WERE "just laying around" buried 3 feet below a cactus for 5 years BEFORE John dug them up. So Rob is saying there is just no way that would have gone unfound with all the searching and dog sniffing that went on in those first 5 years. And I agree. I was very intrigued when the program teased " information unknown to the public". So when Dave admitted that early on he'd had a conversation with the Kalpoe's lawyer and he said that the brothers had dropped Natalee off not by the fishermans huts but on the road beside the Marriot I thought that was pretty important. I was upset to realize that TJ Ward was unaware of this information. I think the potential drop off spot was very important especially early on. It's frustrating to think there is information unknown to the PI that's been investigating this for 12 years! It makes me wonder what else the Kalpoe lawyer said in that private conversation.

I guess I can't see the Dutch "legal system" allowing a body or bones to be discovered.

The Dutch and Aruban authorities used every nuance and loophole to conclude this case without concluding this case. They told you the case was open and the investigation was continuing and nothing was further from the truth. They did that to shut everyone up and to prevent real questions from being answered. What exactly did they do - nothing is what they did unless you consider a PR campaign an actual investigation and I am sure no one here does.

No body / no crime - now, if a body or bones were to be discovered and they were determined to be Natalee's then the fingers are going to be pointing right in their faces - and everyone is going to be stating the obvious. Then the cover-up unwinds and whatever is left of Aruba is finished. The boycott must have work and might still be working because I still see alot of bitching by Arubans after all these years.

If they find Natalee - everyone will be saying this could have been concluded with a proper investigation 12 years ago - why didn't you start a manslaughter case even without a body - which is allowed under the Dutch legal system. There was more than enough evidence to place Joran, Deepak and Satish as the last persons to be in contact with Natalee. They then lied about where they dropped her off - there's your collusion and conspiracy. It was safe to assume that even with no body that Natalee was deceased. There was no need to lie to this degree unless there was a murder. This wasn't a rip tide accident with no body - this was a premeditated crime where the suspects vanished the body. They vanished Natalee because they killed Natalee. I can't think of any legal system where the suspects vanish the body and the legal system says nothing can be done. Protections are built in for the deceased and to protect society from these type of criminals.

Now, further, with a proper investigation (and this investigation was anything but proper using even the most basic legal foundations) - Natalee's loved ones would not have had to suffer endlessly for 12 long painful years. No matter how you look at this - Natalee reappearing is bad news for Aruba. It's not great news for anyone else either - it confirms that Natalee will never be seen on this Earth again. She is mortally gone. She is not forgotten, but she is gone. That's a deep and painful thought itself, even after having 12 years to allow for acceptance. Even the smallest sliver of hope is extinguished. I'm not kidding myself and saying that anyone thinks Natalee is alive - however, no parent wants to face the death of their child, especially to murder. And especially a life that had so much promise. The expectations for Natalee were high because Natalee was a stellar human being.

A proper burial and prayer service would be all that would remain. Some small amount of solace - but still tremendous pain for those who loved and knew Natalee.

Think about the overall dynamics - the suspects were known - the authorities did everything and anything to keep them from accountability - and then to add insult to injury they didn't even attempted to squeeze these suspects for information that would have atleast revealed her final location - hence, we're still trying for a conclusion after 12 years.

And if Natalee was moved around and lying in some shallow grave - then more shame for Aruba for not finding her and truly concluding this case. That confirms they had no desire to find Natalee and no desire to ever charge Joran, Deepak and Satish. It also confirms that they have little regard for their paying guests and their safety.

Aruba did everything wrong - and created the worst case of bad karma I have ever seen. They deserve the scorn and ridicule. I wish them many more decades of bad luck.


 ::rhino::

I remember early on in Natalee's case, one of the Aruban commentators saying the last people with someone who disappears could be held responsible.  I remember it because I thought, YES, even if they can't find her, they will prosecute them.  Nope, didn't happen.
Didn't happen in Robyn Gardner's case either, Giordano spent 116 days in KIA iirc, but he's free today. $1.5 million accidental death life insurance policy, that he's calling and checking on, in the first few days, while they're still searching for her (MOTIVE), but he's free.  That's why he took her there to kill her.  He knew.  JMO

I'm almost to the end of the second episode.

Now John is telling Gabriel, the grave location isn't in the national park, it's only about a 10 minute walk from his aunt's house, at the very top of the mountain, just dead ends  and it's like a cul de sac where you can turn around.

TJ and the surveillance lady speculate that John may have been suspicious of Gabriel and changed the story, and the first story was really the truth.

Good grief!

I watched the 1st episode and all I could do is look at Dave's face and see how much he had aged during all this.  All I can say is I so hope this is the outcome that he and Beth have waited for so many years.  I just don't think I can bear to see that look of defeat on his face when this doesn't pan out.  JMO, Aruba will never give Natalee back to her family.  I don't think they would have made such a terrible mistake by trusting some friend of Joran's to keep his mouth shut.  It is human bones according to Dave but no one knows who they belong to.  One thing for sure is some family will have closure, we can only hope it is Dave and Beth.

The six-part series will trace Dave’s pursuit of what he believes to be a significant lead in the case, which he received in 2015: a man who claimed to be roommates with a co-conspirator who allegedly helped van der Sloot get rid of Natalee’s body.
 ::snipping3::
In a statement, Oxygen executive Rod Aissa told PEOPLE, “This series gives viewers rare access to Dave Holloway’s gut-wrenching search for answers. He embarks on an immersive journey full of twists, turns and, most considerably, a new lead that could deliver justice for Natalie once and for all.”

Natalee Holloway's father speaks out on human remains discovery: 'I was shocked'
By Stephanie Nolasco Published August 18, 2017 Fox News
 ::snipping3::
It’s been 12 years since American student Natalee Holloway vanished on May 30, 2005 while on a high school graduation trip to Aruba — and human remains that were discovered by her father and a private investigator are bringing her story back to life.
 ::snipping3::
However, Dave Holloway isn’t feeling too optimistic of what DNA results might unveil, which could take up to a month.
 ::snipping3::
Dave’s quest to find out what happened to his daughter, alongside private investigator T.J. Ward, is chronicled in a series titled “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway” on the Oxygen channel premiering Saturday. The remains found in Aruba were proven to be human just a week ago.

I so hope this is IT!!! Back to reading!!!

Hi jammsnana!   ::HelloKitty::

Glad you decided to post!
I remember when I was a lurker, still am, but not here!  ::MonkeyWink::  ::MonkeyHaHa::

When I first found SM, I'd never posted in a forum at all.  Like you, someone usually asked what I wanted to know too!  
I've learned so much since I've been here, from so many good people.

I hope this is it too.  Natalee's family deserves to know the truth!

On Aruba, Monetary Affairs Minister Paul Croes has been arrested in his house on Monday morning.
He is suspected of accepting bribes for arranging work permits for non-residents.

Earlier this month a staff member had already been arrested within the framework of the same investigation. It is still stuck and is suspected of money laundering and bribery.

The 40-year-old Croes is a popular minister in the Eman cabinet. Since 2009, the party of Eman, the AVP, is in power on Aruba. On September 22, there are again parliamentary elections.

Aruba Minister Paul Croes arrested in Corruption scandal.

Last Updated: 21 August 2017  Published: 21 August 2017

ARUBA:--- Minister  Paul Croes has been detained on Monday morning. Croes once held the Health and Labor portfolios but they were taken from him and given to another Minister. Paul Croes is the only Minister in Aruba's history to be collecting a salary without holding any portfolios.

Police K9 units searched the Minister’s home prior to him being detained. According to information coming from Aruba, several staff members working for the Minister have been detained and are still in custody. Information so far states that Minister Croes and his staff were arrested as suspects in an ongoing fraud investigation.

Earlier in the year, the Prosecutor’s Office of Aruba named the Minister as a suspect in an ongoing corruption investigation. The Minister is accused of issuing work permits for which he was allegedly paid. It is also suspected that the money has been laundered as well.

Who we are   
Stichting Pension Fund Tourism Sector Aruba (PFTSA) was founded on March 27, 1992 on the initiative of AHATA(Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association)and the FTA(Federacion di Trahador di Aruba, Aruban Workers’ Federation), as they both shared the same vision for the need to create a pension plan which would provide workers in the tourism industry sector with additional income after retirement on top of the general old age pension provided by the local government (AOV).
PFTSA has an Executive Board that consists of an equal number of representatives from both the employers’ side as well as the participant’s side. The board is completed with an impartial chairman.

PFTSA has 6 employees, including the Executive Director, who together with the Executive Board are responsible for all the administration at of the Fund.

PFTSA is responsible for implementing a pension plan for all its participants in accordance with existing laws and regulations. The regulatory body for our industry is the Central Bank of Aruba.

As of December 31, 2016 PFTSA has 83.4 million in assets, 76.4 million in liabilities (pension obligations), 8711 policies and a coverage ratio of 104.36%.

Pftsa started with the Defined Benefit plan that became dormant as per December 31, 2003.  Effective January 1, 2004, PFTSA implemented the Defined Contribution pension plan with premium percentage of a minimum of 6% and a maximum of 25%.

Natalee Holloway's final hours: New clues surface in teen's disappearance

•August 21, 2017
One of the Alabama high school students who was with Natalee Holloway on the 2005 graduation trip to Aruba during which she vanished is revealing new details about the final hours before her friend’s disappearance. When Jessica Caiola saw then-18-year-old Natalee Holloway being driven away in a car after a night out on their vacation, she said she assumed her classmate found a ride back to the hotel where the group of teens was staying. In an interview with Oxygen, Caiola said the two girls left "Carlos ‘n Charlie’s," a local bar, to catch a shuttle back to the hotel. While they stopped to order some street food, Caoila said she looked up and saw Holloway being driven away in a white car. ::snipping3::

In fact, Holloway’s father, Dave, revealed new information in the case on NBC's “Today” last week, saying a tip from a man who claimed to have helped dispose of her body 12 years ago led to the discovery of unidentified human remains behind a house in Aruba, calling it a “major discovery.”

The bones are being tested for DNA and the results could take up to a month, he said.

That was Dave choice to do.. I don't understand why he didn't wait until it was confirmed that it is Natalee..
Also since  was declared dead I don't think there will be a reward.. I don't know
A $100,000 reward also is in place for information leading to Holloway's possible remains.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/07/25/aruba.missing/index.html
  


Natalee's father, Dave Holloway, filed a petition to declare his daughter dead in June, six years after she went to the Caribbean island with 100 classmates to celebrate their graduation from Mountain Brook High School in suburban Birmingham.
Holloway

He was present at Thursday's hearing, as was his ex-wife, Beth Holloway. She opposed the move to declare Natalee dead, pointing to a lack of evidence indicating her daughter is deceased and saying in a September statement that she "will always hope and pray for Natalee's safe return."

http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/12/justice/alabama-natalee-holloway/index.html
Holloway's dad talks guilty plea 03:10

Beth Holloway sat quietly in the back of the court room for the proceeding, according to her attorney John Q. King. She had been opposed to the idea of declaring her daughter dead because she was unwilling to give up the slight hope that Natalee might be alive somewhere, King said.

The request for Holloway to be declared dead came from her father Dave Holloway who claimed in the court papers that because there is no evidence Natalee is alive, the time has come to declare her legally dead.

The father had previously told ABC News that his request was promped in part by his desire to use Natalee's $2,000 college fund to help her younger brother.

Disgusting is all I can say. (the above quote).

I can see why Dave chose now to do the movie.  Maybe it has been confirmed it is Natalee's bones.  Maybe not.  But one thing is for sure-in order to continue the search and investigation you have to have money to do it.  Doing the show now would allow more money to continue the search.  It also allows money to have DNA tests done.  I can assure you Aruba is not paying for any of this.

John's Crazy adventures

Joran van der sloot and John ludwick special love confession How they both had sex with each other

Disgusting is all I can say. (the above quote).

I can see why Dave chose now to do the movie.  Maybe it has been confirmed it is Natalee's bones.  Maybe not.  But one thing is for sure-in order to continue the search and investigation you have to have money to do it.  Doing the show now would allow more money to continue the search.  It also allows money to have DNA tests done.  I can assure you Aruba is not paying for any of this.

Hi Kermit   "teddybear2:: "teddybear2::

Why does Dave get paid for filming his story on oxygen?

Well, at least another year has gone by and some interest arises that brings Natalee's name back into public view so I guess that is good.

You know what I just abhor is Bull pucky. Mendacity and Bull pucky.
Good to be able to see that Natalee's supporters are still faithful.
Love to you all ::MonkeyKiss::

I'm lurking, but it has been crazy at work and traveling constantly. I haven't seen any episodes yet, so I'm counting on everyone's comments. Seeing more and more old faces and names is heartwarming!

Hi wreck!   ::CowboySmiley::
Hopefully others will chime in and fill you in more.
A few things did stand out to me without going back and watching again.  Dead Paulus is thrown completely under the bus for disappearing the body etc., but (living breathing litigious) Kalpoes are completely cleared other than dropping Joran and Natalee off; that is if you believe what Gabriel says John says Joran said...  This is the previously unknown to the public tidbit that Dave said he learned from a Kalpoe attorney in 2005, and Gabriel said John knew too:  They were dropped off on the road by the Marriott that goes down to Moomba Beach, not the road by the fisherman's huts as has always been reported.

Thanks Blonde!

Valid points in the video. 

I've had the same question in my mind as the whether the location the remains were gathered is the same location they told the Aruban authorities about?

My understanding so far is that there is the original burial site, and then the site where the souvenir was buried.

If it's Natalee, and the family gets peace in knowing, the end justifies the means. 

Aruba hasn't been known to be fair or honest in previous finds.  Who was in the fish trap, Aruba?!!!

But putting us through six episodes to find out, is cruel and unusual treatment.

I sure do hope this ends with Natalee's remains, or at least a part of her, so her family can bury her properly and end all this agonizing uncertainty. So far..after the first and second parts, I am intrigued and hopeful!! If this is a hoax, I hope sincerely that the guilty ones can be held accountable. I fear that they are being fed another lie. I so want to believe this is HER and it will be horrible if it is not. Since I am just a watching member of society, it will not be as bad for me as it will be for the family. I cannot imagine being in their shoes!!!

So..a Question...IF this IS HER REMAINS, can that be used at all when van der sloot is sent here for the extortion charges? I get that aruba says if it is human remains, it is tampering with evidence...I would not care..since it seems like they (aruba) never intended her to be found. At least, they can lay her soul to rest.   Jammsnana

Yes, this appears as if they have given up on hoping to gather evidence for prosecution - they are excluding Aruban authorities. This is for answers and closure for the family.

If it is her, John will say he and Joran were behind the whole thing.  Joran and John planted the souvenir and Joran fully intended to turn it over to Beth after he got back from his gambling trip to Peru.  Joran was bitter after he was charged with murder and Beth had the audacity to show up in Peru to confront him so she had to suffer a few more years.  This was their plan for Joran to finally fulfill his end of the deal for Natalee's remains, erasing extortion.  You know he is a changed man now and all that crap.

ITA with Texasmom, the six week wait is horrible. I wish they'd made it a docu movie and shown it all. I keep waivering on hope, suspicion, hope, suspicion...
I don't want to think Dave would let all this attention, media, tv show happen to his family if he wasn't pretty sure. But then maybe desperation for answers made him sign a contract regardless of outcome. I'm curious how everyone felt after watching Gabe? I really felt he was sincere, and I'm suspicious of anyone who gets involved.
🤞🤞🤞
As for Aruba calling the bones animal bones, why on earth would they still care to cover for Joran and a dead man? They could wrap this up without implicating all the others who helped in the coverup and free their stupid evil island of this. They can't all be that stupid, surely there's one person with an ounce of sense? Aruba, maybe not.

This documentary will help pay for further investigation? Honey do you not understand, Gabes Way solved this, found the remains, got the other guy that was involved in helping move the remains to confess on camera so what the hell is there to further investigate may I ask! And YES Dave and TJ are taking all the credit on this and leaving gabe hanging dry when if it wasn't for him they wouldn't have the remains or this documentary! !! It's taken TJ and Dave 12 yrs and they couldn't solve it, and yes they have made thousands of dollars off her disappearance! ! Read the facts, not what TJ and Dave tell you!<snip>https://www.facebook.com/groups/598727173493235/
 I'm so sorry I should have had my coffee first  ::MonkeyEek::

Gabriel Madrigal went into https://ibb.co/dz5jNQ after getting the truth out of John Ludwick
 
 Mine words
Gabriel Madrigal called Dave and they met with TJ and went to Aruba where JOHN Ludwick was paid by Joran to move the body and have it cremated but their was DNA a bone left in the spot where she was berried.

 He left a bone  I'm sure Joean didn't know this part... Now he will rot in prison
 According to Ward, an individual living in Aruba who claims to have helped van der Sloot dispose of Natalee Holloway’s body, provided the leads that led to the discovery of the bones.

IMO why isn't Gabriel Madrigal getting anything he went into that cactus infested land to get Natalee's bone to help give closure to the family why is TJ Ward  not being a stand up guy and paying Gabriel..
Gabriel clearly has proof he was in Aruba and had the bone  why cut him out of the picture
 I really think that Gabriel is  sincere also

 Me saying
Also A $100,000 reward also is in place for information leading to Holloway's possible remains.

Shouldn't he get something if the bone come back to be Natalee?

Going in the right direction - but I'm still not convinced. I need hard evidence this is in fact Natalee. Lots of missing Dutch over the centuries - that could describe these alleged remains.

Also, in the thirty days prior to Natalee disappearing there were about 25 young people that died on Aruba - bad MDMA, I guess. Grande found alot of that info.

Gabriel seems sincere in the show to me too.  His fb posts before any of it aired still cause me pause though.  Don't say you were just doing this to bring peace if you're that concerned about getting all the credit and/or a pay day for it.  If it was all about a pay day, he should have had an agreement/contract up front.

 ::snipping3::
DailyMail.com has also learned that Natalee's mother Beth Holloway provided a saliva sample to assist in the testing.

A source with knowledge of the testing said: 'So far all the indicators are that these bone fragments are the human remains of a young female, consistent with someone of eastern European descent.

'This is in line with what the investigators would expect when it comes to Natalee's family's lineage.

'There's still more testing to complete, but it should be wrapped up in less than two weeks and then the Holloway family will know for sure.

'It will be agonizing if Dave and Beth are told this is their daughter, but after 12 years of searching for answers it will be a huge deal for them - it might finally bring them closure.'

The source says experts are conducting a mitochondrial DNA test (mtDNA test) on the remains at a reputable, undisclosed lab in the US.

The mtDNA test traces a person's matrilineal or mother-line ancestry using the DNA in his or her mitochondria - a structure that sits inside the human cell.

This type of DNA is passed down by the mother unchanged, to all her children, both male and female.

If the mtDNA inside the bone fragments matches that in the saliva provided by Beth Holloway, that will be conclusive evidence that Natalee's remains have been found.

A source with knowledge of the testing said: 'So far all the indicators are that these bone fragments are the human remains of a young female, consistent with someone of eastern European descent.

'This is in line with what the investigators would expect when it comes to Natalee's family's lineage.

'There's still more testing to complete, but it should be wrapped up in less than two weeks and then the Holloway family will know for sure.

'It will be agonizing if Dave and Beth are told this is their daughter, but after 12 years of searching for answers it will be a huge deal for them - it might finally bring them closure.'

The source says experts are conducting a mitochondrial DNA test (mtDNA test) on the remains at a reputable, undisclosed lab in the US.

The mtDNA test traces a person's matrilineal or mother-line ancestry using the DNA in his or her mitochondria - a structure that sits inside the human cell.

This type of DNA is passed down by the mother unchanged, to all her children, both male and female.

If the mtDNA inside the bone fragments matches that in the saliva provided by Beth Holloway, that will be conclusive evidence that Natalee's remains have been found.

Beth provided a DNA sample about five days after Natalee was abducted. I know everyone know this - just making the point.

Having another sample is good - better to be sure but her DNA is on file.

Also, if you are at the stage where you know if the remains are from a certain geographical area - why not go the extra step and ID the mitochondrial DNA.

I'm having a hard time aligning the entertainment value with the reality that a little girl was murdered.

Me too I wish they waited for the DNA to come back I'm so nervous right now..

ITA with Texasmom, the six week wait is horrible. I wish they'd made it a docu movie and shown it all. I keep waivering on hope, suspicion, hope, suspicion...
I don't want to think Dave would let all this attention, media, tv show happen to his family if he wasn't pretty sure. But then maybe desperation for answers made him sign a contract regardless of outcome. I'm curious how everyone felt after watching Gabe? I really felt he was sincere, and I'm suspicious of anyone who gets involved.
🤞🤞🤞
As for Aruba calling the bones animal bones, why on earth would they still care to cover for Joran and a dead man? They could wrap this up without implicating all the others who helped in the coverup and free their stupid evil island of this. They can't all be that stupid, surely there's one person with an ounce of sense? Aruba, maybe not.

<snip>
This documentary will help pay for further investigation? Honey do you not understand, Gabes Way solved this, found the remains, got the other guy that was involved in helping move the remains to confess on camera so what the hell is there to further investigate may I ask! And YES Dave and TJ are taking all the credit on this and leaving gabe hanging dry when if it wasn't for him they wouldn't have the remains or this documentary! !! It's taken TJ and Dave 12 yrs and they couldn't solve it, and yes they have made thousands of doars off her disappearance! ! Read the facts, not what TJ and Dave tell you!<snip>

Gabriel Madrigal went into https://ibb.co/dz5jNQ after getting the truth out of John Ludwick
 
Gabriel Madrigal called Dave and they met with TJ and went to Aruba where JOHN Ludwick was paid by Joran to move the body and have it cremated but their was DNA a bone left in the spot where she was berried.

 He left a bone  I'm sure Joean didn't know this part... Now he will rot in prison
 According to Ward, an individual living in Aruba who claims to have helped van der Sloot dispose of Natalee Holloway’s body, provided the leads that led to the discovery of the bones.

IMO why isn't Gabriel Madrigal getting anything he went into that cactus infested land to get Natalee's bone to help give closure to the family why is TJ Ward  not being a stand up guy and paying Gabriel..
Gabriel clearly has proof he was in Aruba and had the bone  why cut him out of the picture

Also A $100,000 reward also is in place for information leading to Holloway's possible remains.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/07/25/aruba.missing/index.html


Shouldn't he get something if the bone come back to be Natalee?

The disappearance of Natalee Holloway has shocked everyone. So far, it has not been revealed that she was found or her body was located, but In Touch Weekly is sharing that new evidence makes it sound like Natalee’s body may have been found.

It has now been over a decade since Natalee Holloway went missing on her senior trip to Aruba. New information is coming out in her dad’s new show, and an informant named Gabriel is sharing all. It was revealed in the premiere that Joran van der Sloot was trying to kiss her, and she started foaming at the mouth, which of course startled him. The show reveals that Natalee choked on her own vomit after this happened. He said, “she died, and within two to three hours [Joran, with help from his late father, judge Paul van der Sloot] buried her.”

Gabriel is saying that Joran shared all of this information with their mutual friend, John Ludwick, five years after Natalee disappeared. Gabriel even said that Joran offered their friend $1,500 to dig up Natalee’s body and move it somewhere else. He actually wanted him to go and get the body cremated and then throw it in the ocean during low tide, and Gabriel says this is what happened to Natalee’s body. If this is true, that would explain why they never found a body and would also explain where Natalee’s body is, but this will never give the family the closure that they want.

Another thing that Gabriel shared was that Natalee’s was given the date rape drug, GHB, and when they dug out her body, it was moldy and not very far in the ground. Dave does say that this is the best lead he has ever seen on where his daughter’s body is, and this is huge to the family. They really do want closure on their daughter’s disappearance.  ::snipping3::

Natalee Holloway: Preliminary Report/Bones

‎08-24-2017 10:25 AM

Human remains found at a site in Aruba where missing teenager Natalee Holloway may have been buried belong to a young woman of eastern European descent, according to preliminary tests, DailyMail.com can reveal.
 
The breakthrough, made during the early stages of DNA testing, means the Holloway family - which has eastern European heritage- may be one step closer to finding out the agonizing truth behind their daughter's disappearance.
 
The initial finding is still to be confirmed by further testing.
 
The full DNA test results, which will determine whether the bone fragments belong to Natalee or not, are expected to be returned within two weeks, a source close to the case has disclosed

The source says experts are conducting a mitochondrial DNA test (mtDNA test) on the remains at a reputable, undisclosed lab in the US.
 
The mtDNA test traces a person's matrilineal or mother-line ancestry using the DNA in his or her mitochondria - a structure that sits inside the human cell.
 
This type of DNA is passed down by the mother unchanged, to all her children, both male and female.
 
If the mtDNA inside the bone fragments matches that in the saliva provided by Beth Holloway, that will be conclusive evidence that Natalee's remains have been found

I feel for his daughter and the family going through this, I really do.  But this isn't the way for him to get help for her!  Honestly, I find it hard to believe that she can't get treatment without him coming into a big payday.  I've worked in a state hospital, and have enough other life experience to know that you don't have to pay upfront to get a vaginal tumor so big that you can't walk treated. gmafb!  He had a Bring Natalee Home go fund me too, it raised a little less than the one he's got going now iirc.  Was that for his daughter too?  I don't know the man, and can only base my opinion of him on what I do know.  His criminal history doesn't look good on him, and the way he's pressured people on fb didn't help.  He's deleted some posts he made on fb, but they're still here.  Reeks of a con man imo.  Don't you wonder with as many "friends" as he has why more of them haven't donated or even shared?  Maybe they know more than we do.  What did he do for a living before his world stopped to do this?  What is crazy cash?  Is he a professional poker player too?  Did he get evicted or did someone come up with the $2000 for rent?  Why do we even know about that?  Yes, he wants to get paid for what he did.

Don't get me wrong, if this is Natalee, I am eternally grateful for his efforts to make it happen.  If he is truly a hero, God will bless him.

I just found this old post some said something about Mark Jr. is a bartender at Moombas.
 Things that make you say hmmmm
His son Mark Jr. is a bartender at Moombas.
Is this why MIP6 was so protective of leading us in the wrong direction all of the time



It appears early on in the investigation, Mr. Purcell was found with a large quantity of Rohypnol, commonly known as a date rape drug. When asked about it, he claimed it was for "personal use." His wife backed up that claim, saying "Mark needs it to masturbate."

Purcell has blogged on the subject of Natalee Holloway using the screen name MIP6. He has trashed the Holloway family and Beth Holloway in particular. His activity on a Dutch funded site Blogs for Natalee is part of an effort by the murdering Van der sloot defenders to steer blame away from Joran van der sloot.

Mark Purcell, escaping his bankruptcy in the U.S. had his skin lightened, his belly enlarged and his propencity for lying in hyperdrive all to be accpted by the lowlife Dutch on the island of Aruba. "He kisses more Dutch ass than a drug addict in Amsterdam," said an official in Aruba.

Seems the bloated Mr. Purcell has some very Dutch traits, most notably, thin skin. Like the rest of the cowards in Aruba, he is unhappy with what some are saying about him.

"There was the time at the Marriott's Christmas party when Mark had too much to drink and did his impersonation of the Dutch boy with his finger in the dike. Marlene was unaware that she was to be the dike and was quite surprised by the re-enactment" said a friend.

He is believed to be seeking a transfer to the opening of a new Marriott in Bodie, Nevada.

For all inquiries, call Paulus Van der sloot at 310.268.1598

DNA TESTING PROVES BONES FROM NATALEE HOLLOWAY SEARCH ARE FROM A SINGLE HUMAN OF CAUCASIAN, EUROPEAN DESCENT
by MATT MURO   AUGUST 24, 2017 • 3:31 PM ET

Forensic scientist tells Oxygen.com that testing can’t reveal gender, but a conclusive answer is expected sometime in September.
 
Natalee Holloway’s parents have relentlessly searched for answers ever since she went missing during a class trip to Aruba following her graduation from an Alabama high school in 2005. After 12 years, some closure may be imminent. According to Natalee's father, Dave Holloway, and the family’s private investigator, T.J. Ward, bone fragments that were discovered in Aruba, as chronicled on Oxygen’s “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,” were sent to veteran forensic scientist Dr. Jason Kolowski, a former Forensic Laboratory Director of the D.C. Department of Forensic Sciences who founded Forensic Insight Consulting, LLC, to coordinate DNA testing and help them understand the results.

At least one of the bone fragments discovered is “from a single individual,” Kolowski, who is pictured below, tells Oxygen.com. “They are human, and they are of Caucasian, European descent.” Natalee, who was declared legally dead in 2012, was also Caucasian and of European descent.

The DNA discovered, says Kolowski, is mitochondrial, which takes longer than nuclear DNA to test. He anticipates testing will be fully complete sometime in September. According to Kolowski, the remains consist of multiple bone fragments and he says there’s no way to determine gender with mitochondrial DNA. “We are in the dark as to whether these remains are male or female, genetically,” he says.

Yet Kolowski is confident he’ll have a compelling answer as to whether the remains belong to Natalee Holloway when testing is complete. Mitochondrial DNA, unlike nuclear, which comes from both parents, is only from the mother. To this end, Kolowski says they’ve collected a reference sample from Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth. “Beth’s would be exactly the same as Natalee’s or any of Beth’s other children,” he explains.

If the bones currently being tested match Beth’s mitochondrial DNA, the Holloways will finally be able to put Natalee to rest.

I sure do hope this ends with Natalee's remains, or at least a part of her, so her family can bury her properly and end all this agonizing uncertainty. So far..after the first and second parts, I am intrigued and hopeful!! If this is a hoax, I hope sincerely that the guilty ones can be held accountable. I fear that they are being fed another lie. I so want to believe this is HER and it will be horrible if it is not. Since I am just a watching member of society, it will not be as bad for me as it will be for the family. I cannot imagine being in their shoes!!!

So..a Question...IF this IS HER REMAINS, can that be used at all when van der sloot is sent here for the extortion charges? I get that aruba says if it is human remains, it is tampering with evidence...I would not care..since it seems like they (aruba) never intended her to be found. At least, they can lay her soul to rest.   Jammsnana

i was wondering about charging van der sloot too, since he/sloot
will not be out for another 20yr, and its possiable the witness/s
could be no longer around. maybe thats why the doc was done
a video record to go with sworn testimonies

That's another angle that has bugged me.  Joran has hinted over the years in Peru that he'd give information on Natalee if they'd bring him back to Aruba.  I hope he never gets back there via the judicial system.  If he's tried for Natalee's murder, it shouldn't be there imo.  The Hague, maybe.  But not there.

We're safe!  I've been watching it come in on TV and it's bad.  Praying for all near the coast tonight.

I don't do Twitter either, but I could watch it.  I haven't seen it anywhere else yet, but if I do I'll share.

#nataleeholloway  my side of the story

Thoughts Please could this really be Natalee  ::MonkeyAngel::

First thought, how do you know what Gabe and John dug up is what Dolph Richardson supposedly gave to Dave and TJ?

Gabriel says Dave and TJ were not in Aruba when he and John recovered the bones and turned them over to the police.

WHY would Dolph Richardson give bones recovered to ANYONE before they'd been tested?

Why would the Aruban prosecutor make the statements she did if Dolph Richardson gave them the bones?
Were they expected to leave the bones in Aruba?

If it is her, there will be no proof of where they actually came from, a back yard, or maybe even a fish trap in 2008!

Maybe they're not giving credit to John and Gabriel, because they're just being used as a means to an end?

Podcast at the link discussing the documentary.
Haven't agreed with everything, but I'm still listening 20 minutes in.  It hasn't been painful to listen to at least.   ::MonkeyHaHa::

http://previously.tv/the-blotter-presents/the-disappearance-of-natalee-holloway-and-the-charlie-brandt-case/

THE BLOTTER PRESENTS
  PODCASTS
The Disappearance Of Natalee Holloway And The Charlie Brandt Case
Will Dave Holloway get the answers he's searched for for so long? And what exactly was wrong with Charlie Brandt? Allison Lowe Huff returns to look at mysteries within mysteries.
Oxygen premiered The Disappearance Of Natalee Holloway over the weekend, and Al Lowe Huff is back to talk about the case, new twists on old evidence, whether the miniseries' weird undercover set-up is going to yield new clues, and how mad we'll be if it ends up in a(nother) big nothing.

I struggled through 20 minutes, that's all I can take.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

The only thing he said that I completely agree with is that neither he nor John were in Aruba in 2005 when Natalee disappeared.

That's important to remember.

This FB page is still active, he says in the live video this morning that "they" took his Gabes Way pages down.
He said they want him to use his real name, so I'm thinking "they" is probably FB.
But I don't think they would just randomly do that, my guess is his posts were being reported.

Thanks for the links cw618!   ::MonkeyKiss::

I'd questioned whether he was a professional poker player, he said that's what he was doing for a living when he met John in 2013.

He said the media's not talking to him because he's not a professional like TJ,
and also because he's Latino.  wth?   ::MonkeyLaugh::

He's the one that keeps saying "never trust a mexican".  If that's the reason the media won't talk to him, maybe they looked at his social media first?   ::MonkeyWink:: ::MonkeyNoNo::

My guess, it has more to do with his criminal history.  I think he knows that too, he talked about it all in his live video today.

Gabe is a lot to take in    ::MonkeyHaHa::

sure hope the remains are Natalee, or at least someones loved one
closure is important, Gabe seems sincere in what he did/doing

Yes, he is.   ::MonkeyHaHa::

He does seem sincere.  And if he is, I'm sorry he was trusting of Dave and TJ and didn't take the steps he should have to ensure the compensation and/or recognition he obviously is demanding with all of this outcry 2 episodes in.  I don't know what he expects to be called other than an informant?

Google dictionary:

in·form·ant
inˈfôrmənt/Submit
noun
a person who gives information to another.
another term for informer.

If his description of how it all went down is true, there will always be a question in my mind even if it is Natalee.
According to Gabe, John flaked out on the trip to Aruba in March with TJ, Dave, and the film crew.  They'd all thrown in the towel.  So him and John went to Aruba alone at the end of April dug up the bones and after calling Dave, who called TJ, and Gabe says TJ told Dolph Richardson to arrest him, gave the bones to Dolph Richardson.
So here we are again, all of the evidence turned over to the Aruban authorities who continue to claim they are animal bones.
He says Dolph Richardson gave the bones to TJ and/or Dave two months later.
And here we are with human remains, and no trustworthy chain of possession, so we'll probably never know where they really came from.

He obviously hasn't spent much time here if he expected us to just trust he was for real. 

We question everything, that's our job.   ::piggy:: ::MonkeyShovel:: ::dogwag::

Undercover. He fancies himself an undercover operative. Problem is, he lacks a "Smiley" - the person running the operation, paying him, etc.

DNA results will be back late this week. Maybe we'll hear something by the end of the week.

I asked if it's Natalee - TJ said who else could it be. I replied Robyn Gardner. Could also be someone else who is missing - and there could be many that fit that category.

Still, not getting my hopes up too high just yet.

Glad you're back, wreck!   ::CowboySmiley::

When watching teamgabe's live videos, I feel like Frank did that time years ago when he agreed to watch The View for those of us at work and summarize.
He needed talking down before they ever got to the Natalee segment.
I laughed so hard that day.   ::MonkeyDevil::
But, he did it for Natalee.   ::MonkeyHeart::

If this wasn't so disgustingly sad, it would be funny too.
Where would we be without Gabe via nutzoid John and his research to tell us everything we've always wanted to know?
He says he knows all the details, the horrible gruesome details and exactly how she died, he knows it all.
Well, most of it he can't tell yet, and some he's saving for his book.  
BTW, he'll personally autograph books for those who are loyal to him now, but not those who try to jump on the band wagon later!
Between brain farts he's also willing to tell one huge twist that even Oxygen doesn't know about to any media willing to give him a call.
And he's wearing his Aruba One Happy Island tshirt in that live video trying to bring in more fans, now isn't that special!
He can't understand why he wasn't an immediate celebrity, and why we aren't falling all over him with gratefulness and donations.
After some of his comments I'm wondering how far this show really went for drama and intrigue?  I feel sick.

EXCLUSIVE: Human bones found in search for Natalee Holloway are from young woman of Eastern European descent like missing girl, preliminary tests show
DailyMail.com has learned that initial tests have been carried out on human remains found in Aruba by private detectives and a documentary team  
They show they belong to a young woman with Eastern European heritage, the same as Natalee Holloway
Further tests are under way before finding can be officially confirmed and are also trying to see if the bones are Natalee's

 ::boxjoran::





Thanks, klaas.  More information from the article--

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4817910/Natalee-Holloway-Dug-bones-young-European-woman-s.html
EXCLUSIVE: Human bones found in search for Natalee Holloway are from young woman of Eastern European descent like missing girl, preliminary tests show
Published: 09:54 EDT, 24 August 2017  | Updated: 10:58 EDT, 24 August 2017
 ::snipping3::
DailyMail.com has also learned that Natalee's mother Beth Holloway provided a saliva sample to assist in the testing.

A source with knowledge of the testing said: 'So far all the indicators are that these bone fragments are the human remains of a young female, consistent with someone of eastern European descent.

'This is in line with what the investigators would expect when it comes to Natalee's family's lineage.

'There's still more testing to complete, but it should be wrapped up in less than two weeks and then the Holloway family will know for sure.

'It will be agonizing if Dave and Beth are told this is their daughter, but after 12 years of searching for answers it will be a huge deal for them - it might finally bring them closure.'

The source says experts are conducting a mitochondrial DNA test (mtDNA test) on the remains at a reputable, undisclosed lab in the US.

The mtDNA test traces a person's matrilineal or mother-line ancestry using the DNA in his or her mitochondria - a structure that sits inside the human cell.

This type of DNA is passed down by the mother unchanged, to all her children, both male and female.

If the mtDNA inside the bone fragments matches that in the saliva provided by Beth Holloway, that will be conclusive evidence that Natalee's remains have been found.
 ::snipping3::


Beth provided a DNA sample about five days after Natalee was abducted. I know everyone know this - just making the point.

Having another sample is good - better to be sure but her DNA is on file.
::snipping3::
The full DNA testing results – which will determine if the bone fragments belong the missing 18-year-old girl – are expected within two weeks, a source close to the case tells DailyMail. “The nature of these remains means further testing is required before anything can be confirmed,” the source added. The discovery is part of The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, a docuseries featuring her father, Dave Holloway, and private investigator TJ Ward searching for answers. Natalee’s mother, Beth Holloway, has also assisted in the search, as she reportedly provided a saliva sample to help out in the remains’ DNA testing.

Experts are reportedly conducting a mitochondrial DNA test (mtDNA test) on the remains at a “reputable, undisclosed lab in the US,” the source tells DailyMail. These tests race a person’s matrilineal – or mother-side—ancestry using DNA. This DNA is unchanged when passed down by the mother to all her children. If the mtDNA inside the fragments match the mtDNA in Beth’s saliva, it’ll be conclusive evidence that these remains belong to Natalee.

Ok - back from traveling again, so I will have more time to spend here and get caught up. Like I said last week, I don't see any way of being able to use any evidence for a conviction. I only hope for her remains to be found. Let's pray someone has enough evidence to give the family some answers. I don't give a rats ass who gets "credit."

Glad you're back, wreck!   ::CowboySmiley::

When watching teamgabe's live videos, I feel like Frank did that time years ago when he agreed to watch The View for those of us at work and summarize.
He needed talking down before they ever got to the Natalee segment.
I laughed so hard that day.   ::MonkeyDevil::
But, he did it for Natalee.   ::MonkeyHeart::

If this wasn't so disgustingly sad, it would be funny too.
Where would we be without Gabe via nutzoid John and his research to tell us everything we've always wanted to know?
He says he knows all the details, the horrible gruesome details and exactly how she died, he knows it all.
Well, most of it he can't tell yet, and some he's saving for his book. 
BTW, he'll personally autograph books for those who are loyal to him now, but not those who try to jump on the band wagon later!
Between brain farts he's also willing to tell one huge twist that even Oxygen doesn't know about to any media willing to give him a call.
And he's wearing his Aruba One Happy Island tshirt in that live video trying to bring in more fans, now isn't that special!
He can't understand why he wasn't an immediate celebrity, and why we aren't falling all over him with gratefulness and donations.
After some of his comments I'm wondering how far this show really went for drama and intrigue?  I feel sick. 

JMO



he's also willing to tell one huge twist that even Oxygen doesn't know about to any media willing to give him a call.  What Really!!!

Now that I know he gave the bones to the Aruba per Dolph Richardson.
 I will be shocked if they're Natalee's bones  ::MonkeyNoNo::
Gabe doesn't know all of the bull shit we went through to get any truth out of Aruba Remember he cane into this case after what John told him  in 2011
He would have never given the evidence to Aruba if he knew what we all know
Aruba has never done the right thing ever, they hid this right from the start ..

Feeling sick & sad

Yes, he said that about the media in his live video.

Gabe says he met John in 2013.  He'd actually said 2003 in the twitter video but corrected it on twitter the next day and in the next live video too.

About 2:38 into the video:

Gabe says in the Spring of 2010 not long after Paulus died, Joran paid a woman named Helen to wire transfer a large sum of money from Anita's account to his.  Gabe says Joran went to Anita's house while she wasn't home and got the account information and passwords.  Two weeks later the extortion was going on with Beth.

Helen and Darlene worked in John Ludwick's aunt's real estate office in Aruba.  Joran helped John put signs out etc when they were spending most of their time together since Anita was mad at Joran, according to Gabe.

Gabe says don't hold him to it, but Joran got between 15-20 thousand, and paid Helen five thousand to make the transfer.  He says there is a paper trail of the transaction.

Gabe says Joran took the money with him to Peru, and that John was supposed to go with him but his grandmother was sick in New York and he went there instead.

Gabe doesn't think Helen was ever charged.

He also said John went back to Aruba for five days in 2011 and panicked when he was in a traffic accident early on in the trip thinking he might be taken in for questioning, but when the police came he showed his ID, they gave them the forms to fill out and sent him on his way.

OMG Gabe is one line live and tells how Nattlee died in detail I'm so pissed.
 Palus killed her Joran & Palus Raped  her while she was still alive they put her in the white jeep
This was taken from John they went to the FBI and tell them today

Too upset  right now
 OK some of the story is true she had a reaction to the drugs Joran called Palus put her in his white Jeep she was still alive  tossed her in the back when they got to the appartment part of the house where Joran lived they took off her cloths and laid her on the table  Joran raped her then Palus rapped her.. ::MonkeyShocked:: she started to come too and moving so

Pauls said we can't let her live after looking up on line he said something like it would be very bad for us SO  Palus suffocated her he put his had over her mouth held her nose closed..  until she died.
 Then broke her back to get her into a sack.
  I can't remember any more details at this point because I was too upset it's all falling together now

 But I'm sure the video is still at Gabe page



1:40 am: Stop at Joran's house (J 6/14)  

7:37 pm: Paulus google image searches for "alcohol", "beer" and "drugs".   Visits sites containing information on alcohol and drugs, the dangers of these for young people, and a lawyer's office. The sites are visited only briefly.

9:18 pm: VDS computer infected with virus


Gabe has this on his site he's still talking I have to go

I'm sick ::MonkeyTears:: I was afraid to post this, but Gabe went to the FBI with some news today.
I think Joran told this to John and he came clean some of this makes sense.
I'm not remembering Pauls had a white Jeep I know he had a red one but photobucket is not working
Also she was buried very close they drove by all of the time
Palus was very cruel to Natalee I hope he burns in hell for what he did Her poor Family

Oh yeah right, John grew a conscience?
Where was his mom in 2010?

Please.

Interesting that John's lights out lover is not Natalee's murderer after all.

Natalee's murderer is dead, no sweaty man, no justice on earth.

If the bones are determined to be Natalee, no extortion? 

How could John possibly know any of this without Joran? 
Maybe he's made it all up or maybe he's savored posts from the last 12 years and pieced together a story?
WHY does she always have to be broken somehow or in pieces?

John did not know Joran in 2005, he can't possibly have personal knowledge.  How many lies has Joran told since then?
We've all seen what John said about Stephany.  Gabe said John didn't want Joran prosecuted for extortion.

Joran may think John's cute in the dark, but John does not possess magical truth serum, I PROMISE YOU.

I've suffered through a lot of the live videos, Gabe tells the viewers over and over and over that John can't be trusted, and will say anything if he's paid.

The only thing I'm upset about is the utter disrespect to Natalee in all of this.

The cottage industry of murder, disgusting.  Where have I heard that before?

Gabe's trying to outdo the documentary with total disregard for Natalee.
All because he didn't get paid.
He admits it's his fault he didn't get paid, but that doesn't matter.

John's gift to his hero Joran so far away in Challapallca. 
Nicely wrapped for the FBI, clearing him of murdering Natalee, and extorting Beth.
Isn't that sweet?

Sorry, not buying it.

Remember Stephany Flores. ::MonkeyAngel::

The more I thought about this last night .
Joran's saving his own butt daddys dead blame it on him.
Did Paules have anger issues like Joran?
Why believe him.. I think Joran Killed Natalee
Why would John come clean?
Who's to say Joran told  John the truth.. Joran never tells the truth...
Maybe Joran killed Natalee that makes more sense to me
Joran was the one with anger issues .
Look what Joran did to Stephany Flores
 Blame it on a dead man they Both need to rot in hell
Anita you must be so proud of what your Family did to Natalee Holloway
I believe you knew this all these years..
 Is this why you didn't mourn the death of you beloved husband..
You actually looked relieved after Palus died

Hi guys - doesn't look like the DNA will be back until after the holiday. Won't be revealed or released tonight or tomorrow. We're going to have to wait a few more days. You know how things have gone in this case so it's not a huge surprise.

Natalee Holloway Informant Quits Investigation Into Disappearance
BY JULIANA ROSE PIGNATARO @JULIE_PIGNATARO ON 09/01/17 AT 11:18 AM
Natalee Holloway Disappearance: New Human Remains Found In Aruba
 
Loading   
A key informant in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway has decided to quit cooperating with the investigation, according to a new episode of the Oxygen series “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.” The informant, a man known as Gabriel, was set to participate in a sting to get a confession from another man about what happened to Natalee, People magazine reported.

Natalee’s father, Dave Holloway, enlisted private investigator TJ Ward to look into his daughter’s disappearance. Natalee went missing in 2005 during a graduation trip to Aruba. The 18-year-old was officially declared dead in 2012, though her body was never located. A Dutch man named Joran van der Sloot remained the prime suspect in Natalee’s disappearance. Van der Sloot is behind bars in Peru for the murder of a different young woman.

Gabriel, the informant working with Dave Holloway and Ward, told Ward he was friends with a man named John Ludwig who was involved in disposing of Natalee’s body. Ludwig allegedly said he removed Natalee’s body from a grave at Van der Sloot’s request and helped him cremate the body.

Ludwig accepted $1,500 from Van der Sloot to remove the body and cremate it, he reportedly told Gabriel. Ludwig also told Gabriel that Van der Sloot told him he had given Natalee the date rape drug GHB and she died after choking on her own vomit. Ward and Dave Holloway set up an undercover sting in which Gabriel would record a confession from Ludwig about his involvement. Gabriel, however, quit before the sting took place, according to a Thursday preview of the third episode of “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.”

“I have not been able to work or go nowhere because I’ve been watching a nutcase,” Gabriel told Ward in a phone call in the episode three preview. “It’s been really stressful on my behalf. I feel like I’m getting taken advantage of, when I’m doing all the goddamn work… I feel like I’m getting struck in the face and I quit.”

Gabriel previously voiced his anxieties about dealing with Ludwig in another episode of the show.

“He is not a person that you want to be around, ‘cause he’s not mentally stable,” Gabriel said, according to People.

Ward, in turn, expressed misgivings about Gabriel as an informant.

“Dealing with Gabriel on a day to day basis is very challenging,” he told the camera. “It’s challenging having to deal with his frustration conversation after conversation after conversation.”

Well gee, Gabe, what would have made it easier for you? Some money? Would that have made dealing with John more bearable for you? 🙄 Nobody asked you to insinuate yourself into this case! Nobody asked you to befriend John or let him move in with you. You guys used to be friends, you hung out and drank together. Why is it so difficult for you now to be around him? Give me a break. Monkeys, I no longer have any faith at all in this new "lead". If it is Natalee's remains, it ain't from John and Gabe finding anything. It's because Dolph Richardson pulled it out of a locked desk drawer. I'm sick of this game playing. I'm sick of the charlatons. It's been 12 frigging years. Leave this poor family alone and let them try to move on. The police, the politicians, the tourism board all covered this up from day one. And unless one of them becomes a whistleblower then I don't think we're ever gonna know. But we dang sure ain't gonna learn the truth from some psycho drug addict ex lover of Joran and his con man friend. Sorry y'all, I'm sick with pneumonia and I have zero patience. And to hear Gabe spouting off every horrible thing that could have happened to her? Hey Gabe, go be with your sick daughter (if that's even true) and if the remains turn out to be Natalee's you can apply for the reward money! Until then keep Natalee Holloway's name out of your mouth!

I'm sick of it all too Spooky.  I'm also getting over a bout of bronchial pneumonia and spent the night in the hospital 10 days ago.  Take care of yourself and don't over due it. 

Unless this Oxygen series finds Natalee's remains, I'll stick with the belief that this was nothing more than a ratings ploy.  I'm torn because anything that keeps Natalee's name in the news is good but not at the expense of her family.

Being declared legally dead shouldn't have anything to do with offering a reward (although maybe none was offered but I suspect money plays a role).

Well gee, Gabe, what would have made it easier for you? Some money? Would that have made dealing with John more bearable for you? 🙄 Nobody asked you to insinuate yourself into this case! Nobody asked you to befriend John or let him move in with you. You guys used to be friends, you hung out and drank together. Why is it so difficult for you now to be around him? Give me a break. Monkeys, I no longer have any faith at all in this new "lead". If it is Natalee's remains, it ain't from John and Gabe finding anything. It's because Dolph Richardson pulled it out of a locked desk drawer. I'm sick of this game playing. I'm sick of the charlatons. It's been 12 frigging years. Leave this poor family alone and let them try to move on. The police, the politicians, the tourism board all covered this up from day one. And unless one of them becomes a whistleblower then I don't think we're ever gonna know. But we dang sure ain't gonna learn the truth from some psycho drug addict ex lover of Joran and his con man friend. Sorry y'all, I'm sick with pneumonia and I have zero patience. And to hear Gabe spouting off every horrible thing that could have happened to her? Hey Gabe, go be with your sick daughter (if that's even true) and if the remains turn out to be Natalee's you can apply for the reward money! Until then keep Natalee Holloway's name out of your mouth!

Blonde, I agree, Gabe just wants recognition. He repeatedly states it's all he wants. So people will know he did most of the leg work.

DNA TESTING PROVES BONES FROM NATALEE HOLLOWAY SEARCH ARE FROM A SINGLE HUMAN OF CAUCASIAN, EUROPEAN DESCENT
by MATT MURO   AUGUST 24, 2017 • 3:31 PM ET

Forensic scientist tells Oxygen.com that testing can’t reveal gender, but a conclusive answer is expected sometime in September.
 
Natalee Holloway’s parents have relentlessly searched for answers ever since she went missing during a class trip to Aruba following her graduation from an Alabama high school in 2005. After 12 years, some closure may be imminent. According to Natalee's father, Dave Holloway, and the family’s private investigator, T.J. Ward, bone fragments that were discovered in Aruba, as chronicled on Oxygen’s “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,” were sent to veteran forensic scientist Dr. Jason Kolowski, a former Forensic Laboratory Director of the D.C. Department of Forensic Sciences who founded Forensic Insight Consulting, LLC, to coordinate DNA testing and help them understand the results.

At least one of the bone fragments discovered is “from a single individual,” Kolowski, who is pictured below, tells Oxygen.com. “They are human, and they are of Caucasian, European descent.” Natalee, who was declared legally dead in 2012, was also Caucasian and of European descent.

The DNA discovered, says Kolowski, is mitochondrial, which takes longer than nuclear DNA to test. He anticipates testing will be fully complete sometime in September. According to Kolowski, the remains consist of multiple bone fragments and he says there’s no way to determine gender with mitochondrial DNA. “We are in the dark as to whether these remains are male or female, genetically,” he says.

Yet Kolowski is confident he’ll have a compelling answer as to whether the remains belong to Natalee Holloway when testing is complete. Mitochondrial DNA, unlike nuclear, which comes from both parents, is only from the mother. To this end, Kolowski says they’ve collected a reference sample from Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth. “Beth’s would be exactly the same as Natalee’s or any of Beth’s other children,” he explains.

If the bones currently being tested match Beth’s mitochondrial DNA, the Holloways will finally be able to put Natalee to rest.

According to the forensic scientist, Dr Jason Kolowski...

EXCLUSIVE: I hope we can bring peace and justice to Natalee Holloway's family, says forensic scienist overseeing tests on bones which informant claims are missing teen's

'We're going to have statistical probability and a confidence level that this is Natalee or not,' he said.

'We're waiting on the lab to finalize the data which they will deliver to me and I will try to turn the data around into results which I will then deliver to Dave and TJ.

'There is a personal hope that this is Natalee, but only because I have met Dave and I have had communications with Beth and I really have become to know the story of what they've been through and the struggles they have been through.

'As a forensic scientist you try not to let your personal emotions become involved with a case, because you don't want to introduce any kind of bias. I really want to put the truth forward.'

The nature of mitachondrial DNA means that there will not be a definitive scientific answer the bones are Natalee's.

Mitachondrial DNA proves that a bone or other material comes from a child of a particular mother because mitachondria are inherited from the mother and are generally identical in all her children.

If there is a match to Natalee's mother's sample, it will show that the remains come from one of her children.

Given that the Holloways know that only one of their children is missing, that will allow them to know that the bones are Natalee's

Yeah TJ knows what he's doing, he said on Dana's show that they interviewed with five or six production companies to sell this.  The last few years he's all about TV!  Jurrien de Jong supposedly passed his layered voice analysis too.  I posted a link a few pages ago to the BFN groups FB page where he and Gabriel were arguing, so he's obviously still welcome there.  IIRC, Robin posted a satellite image of the Marriott in 2005 there last summer!  Hadn't heard Dave say that was a false lead until he was asked about it in an interview promoting the Oxygen series.  AHATA must be relieved to not have cadaver dogs sniffing around the Marriott's foundation on MSM anymore.  Who paid for the Kalpoes representation for seven years of civil suit proceedings against Dr. Phil...for it to be tossed by the judge?  Still burns my butt that Gabe cleared the Kalpucks of everything other than giving Natalee a ride in episode 1.  Whole episodes based on chasing lies.  John writes another confession between episodes two and three that Gabe delivers to the FBI telling another story.  Not in Natalee's best interest and disrespectful to her memory IMO.  I'll be relieved if any of the bones are determined to be Natalee's, because they finally gave some of her back, but I'll never believe it happened as is being presented.

Natalee Holloway Witness Comes Forward: 'I Knew She Was Dead'
5:09 PM EDT, May 12, 2015

Dave Holloway is back in Aruba exclusively with INSIDE EDITION searching for answers in the disappearance of his 18-year-old daughter, Natalee.

“What was it like for you when you got off that plane and set foot back in Aruba?” INSIDE EDITION’s Lisa Guerrero asked.

He said, “It was like, here we go again.”

Jurrien de Jong, a citizen of the Netherlands who lives in Amsterdam, says he was one of the last people to see Natalee alive.

“I know what happened to Natalee Holloway,” he told INSIDE EDITION.

Guerrero asked, “What did you see the night Natalee Holloway went missing?”

“I saw that Joran was chasing Natalee into a small building under construction. In about 5 minutes he came out with Natalee in his arms and slammed the body of Natalee on the floor and then made an opening in a crawl space and pulled the body by the ankles inside the crawl space,” he said.

Guerrero asked, “So, you saw Joran van der Sloot slam Natalee Holloway’s body onto the ground and pull her into a crawl space?”

“Yes, by her ankles. I knew she was dead,” he replied.


 

The site where the witness claims he saw all this was under construction in 2005, but is now the Marriott Surf Club, a 900 room time share resort popular with Americans.

Dave Holloway is so intrigued by the new information, he asked a private detective, TJ Ward, to accompany him to Aruba to help with the investigation and also to analyze de Jong’s voice with a technology that supposedly detects lying.

Guerrero asked Ward, “What was indicated in this program in terms of his stress level in his truthfulness?”

“He was being truthful with what he said,” Ward replied. “He was very stressed with what he said and he was embarrassed he didn't bring this forward.”

Guerrero asked, “So, you believe this witness may be credible and his story could make sense?”

“It could make sense. It could,” Dave Holloway said. “I still have my guard up because I don't want to be disappointed.”

How to check this remarkable claim? It’s long been believed her body was dumped in the ocean, but does the secret to Natalee’s disappearance lie somewhere in this beautiful oceanfront resort?

Dave Holloway sought the help of Tracy Sargent, a search and rescue expert, whose dog, “Chance,” has been trained to detect cadavers. We checked into the hotel like regular guests.

Tracy and Chance strode the grounds and pathways. They went inside stairwells and checked out the garage. Every available space open to resort guests was probed by Chance, using his amazing sense of smell.

“This dog is trained to find missing persons, specifically human remains,” Sargent said.

Even with the passage of 10 long years, to say nothing of all that concrete, Sargent says it's still possible for the dog to detect a scent.

“Were you able to find any trace of Natalee’s body?” Guerrero asked her.

“No. Not at all. Not at this point. We certainly can't rule it out,” she replied.

The new witness believes Natalee could be buried on grounds that are inaccessible to guests. Possibly beneath the laundry facility, a mechanical room near the elevator shaft or perhaps where the garbage is stored.

Guerrero asked de Jong, “People may say you are looking for attention and you are giving false hope to the family, what is your response? Are you lying?”

“If I was making this up, it would be the work of a man who was insane I don't consider myself insane,” he replied.

Guerrero then asked David Holloway, “So you’re not going to give up on this lead yet?

“No. Not at all,” He replied.

“Will you ever give up looking for Natalee?” Guerrero asked.

“No. As long as there is a chance that I’ll find her, I’ll keep looking,” said the heartbroken father.

The prosecutor in Aruba is now reopening the Holloway investigation based on de Jong's statements. He says it could be a couple of months before he reveals his findings.

Joran van der Sloot maintains his innocence in the case.

Natalee Holloway's Skeletal Remains Mixed With Dead Dog's, Undercover Sting Reveals
BY SUMAN VARANDANI @SUMAN09 ON 09/03/17 AT 8:12 AM

The skeletal remains of Natalee Holloway were mixed with a dog's in an effort to make it difficult for anyone trying to seek the origin of the remains, a six-part Oxygen series about the missing Alabama teen revealed. The third part of "The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway," which aired Saturday, gave new details about the sting operation — part of Dave Holloway's (Natalee's father) private investigation.

The episode revealed that Natalee's bones along with that of a dog were cremated, and days later the ashes were likely scattered off the coast of Aruba, from where the teenager went missing in 2005.

The sting operation — recorded in a New Orleans hotel room by private investigator T.J. Ward’s team using hidden cameras and audio — took place in 2016 and was set by Dave and Ward. It was conducted based on an informant named Gabriel, who claimed that Van der Sloot had asked the man to move Natalee’s buried remains in a moment of panic.

“Why would anyone in their crazy mind want to be friends with him? And I found out that they actually became what I understand to be lovers,” Dave says in the episode.

The man said in the video: “Yeah, I was a little obsessed with him. We used to hook up with girls all the time and go out partying and gambling and stuff, and then one night we were having a threesome …. The problem was, the girl finished before us and passed the f----- out, cause we were all drunk as s---.”

“So then he’s like, um, ‘Don’t worry, just turn off the lights, this is how we do it in Europe.’ I’m like, ‘This ain’t no Brokeback Mountain s--- going down.’ He’s like, ‘Just shut up, it’ll all be over soon.’ After that there wasn’t no hesitation. We were all team players after that, getting each other off,” he said.

In the same episode, the man revealed about the alleged $1,500 offer from Van der Sloot to unearth Natalee’s remains. He also mentioned about the exact location of those remains. After unearthing the remains of Natalee and the dog, he turned the ashes over to Van der Sloot, and they were dumped at sea.

 I bet it was JUST NATALEE that got cremated

The fact that any money is being made from it and that Natalee's death is part of a TV show sickens me. For what purpose is the TV show? If a bone was found and it has tested positive for being Natalee....then announce it. If a documentary is made afterwards showing just how this case was solved, that is fine. But don't use this potential evidence as a "hook" to get us to watch this TV show. Sad.

FYI Monkeys, when "Freebirds" complied information given to them I contacted Dave Holloway.  At first he said his computer needed updating in order for him to download the massive document with ALL the information. Then he said he finally  received it and he never contacted, to my knowledge, any of the Freebirds to ask any questions of anyone. Ever.  I don't know why but I think that is odd. But I never questioned him. I just kept it to myself and in the back of my mind. But he ran off to Aruba again to search other crack pot theories. And now this.

Her remains were not cremated I do or I would not speak.
 
I think she was crushed up sorry to say :(

John speaks some truth but mostly lies.

My head is spinning now WHAT!!!!

Do you know any facts??
I do or I would not speak


That is the problem with the documentary... John lies MOST OF the time and the news media runs with what they see on the documentary....

They made a movie for TV Watch the  documentary. $$$$$

This is a slap in the face for all of us that have worked on Natalee's case

Wonder why Beth didn't want anything to do with this crap
Now their saying  Her remains were not cremated. ::MonkeyEek::

I am just sitting back and trying to take this all in.  Didn't we already deal with the crematory theory very early on?  I hate to see Dave and Beth drug through this year in and year out, all with the very same results-another documentary.  As I said before, I pray this is the answer of Natalee's disappearance so her family can have closure.

Anyone else hear TJ and Dave both say they thought John's story was a lie and a cover and the girlfriend was trying to convince Gabe that the location was above John's aunts house, when TJ and Dave both orginally thought the body was somewhere in the Aruba national forest because that was originally John's first story. Then this voice analyst comes in and says John was truthful about the body being above the aunts house. Now TJ is all on board with this statement. I just thought it was weird. Come on, stick to one idea and don't change it, especially not on camera.

Gabriel Madrigal · Cause this hole case what's based on 40 percent truth 60 percent lies you had to see what made since what didn't. At the end I found her remains cause I keep searching and things he said here and there gave me clues that he was giving hints. That's why TJ or dave didn't fined it they gave up I didn't I went back to the same area and found it.

I can't believe that Tj was talking on about u getting charged as well,when u were and only one who got the remains.So I ty gabe

Gabriel Madrigal they already said it's human so no animal bones it's human but is it Natalee is the big question

It's been all over, pull up oxygen app through the play store and watch the documentary. . 3 episodes have already aired. Besides Gabriel Madrigal found the bones on April 25th at approximately 7:25pm ..

 On April 25th  this is almost 5 months ago.. I bet they already know the result's just showing the show on Oxygen for the money TJ wants to make THIS IS SICK

Wow, it's been so long since I've visited here. Had to come back to see the latest on Natalee's case. I was so glued to this case back when she went missing, and I still wish it would have ended with her showing up somewhere alive. For her family's sake, I hope this latest bone test does provide a match and that the family can finally bring what little remains of her back home. Ugh...so awful to say that. I'll be checking back again to watch for any updates. Great to see some old familiar names still here!

I tried to write this on my ipad last night and "lost" the post twice, so I will try again!  ::MonkeyCool::

I am convinced the whole Oxygen series is nothing more than "showcase" or a "pilot" for T.J. Ward's reality series he's touting. I know many are upset with this, but I'm not. At the very least, it has brought new attention to a very forgotten case by the masses and is generating some money to explore "one more lead" by the family where they probaly don't have the resources to do any longer.
That said, I am not optimistic we are going to get any new answers, but I do hold out a glimmer of hope - and that is all we have had in several years. At least Dave will know he exhausted another lead and many of us have been brought back into catching up to the case here at SM.

Tuesday Crime Stories: Is there a second Natalee Holloway grave? ‘Tipster’ Gabriel hints missing Alabama woman’s remains were divided!

by Alan Duke, Reporter & 'Crime Stories With Nancy Grace' Co-host
September 5, 2017

As Natalee Hollway’s family waits for tests to confirm if bones found buried in Aruba are remains of the missing Alabama woman, the man who led them to the grave hints there is a second location where other body parts are hidden.

Gabriel Madrigal, who befriended a man who claimed to have helped hide Holloway’s remains and recorded his apparent confession, opened up to Nancy Grace in this Crime Stories episode with details not included in the ongoing Oxygen docu-series, The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

Madrigal stopped short of disclosing secrets beyond a promise of “twists and turns” in the remaining three episodes of the Oxygen series, but he did suggest he has knowledge of a second burial location. The FBI has the information and is investigating, he said.

Related: Gabriel has set up a GoFundMe account to pay the medical expenses for his daughter

Cold Case Research Institute director Sheryl McCollum and investigative reporter Art Harris both questioned Gabriel about how there could be bones to analyze if the recovered remains had been cremated, as had been claimed by “John,” the man who allegedly helped Joran van der Sloot hide the body. While he would not disclose upcoming revelations in the series, he did concede that John’s cremation story is questionable. Psychologist Pat Saunders also joined Nancy on this episode.

Blonde, ill look into it

watched pt3
DOG BONES,
no way why would you want your dead dogs bones cremated
and the crematorium doesnt ask why no urn,as i dont think
you could say well im moving off island, customs asked whats

dont think that would fly with crematorium or customs

Cremation legislation in Aruba

Quote
Cremation

As of January 1, 2013, cremation in Aruba has become legal. At this point, the local funeral directors association, a group of 4, are currently meeting to create plans and ideas of establishing a crematory. Prior to and until the crematorium is built and and in working condition, those choosing cremation as final disposition are shipped to the neighboring island of Curacao where the cremation would take place and the cremated remains are returned to the funeral home.

Josh Parker is JOHN LUDWICK

Josh Parker Yea it is, i know they said John and him didn't know each other until 2010. But what if John and Joran were already friends online somehow, maybe they shared mutual friends in Aruba and ended up becoming pals online for years and that may explain his extreme devotion and idolization of him. Maybe he killed them both FOR JOHNs b-day!!!Maybe the story john gave about bumping into him at a gas station and becoming best pals so quickly, was really johns very first "lie" in this case??? Lol who knows, it makes you wonder. Gabe please explore this possibility if its not something that you can't disclose due to the documentary.

TM, this Bridget person, what do you think of her?  Looks like her husband is a cop and she doesn't appear to be wacky.  Maybe gullible?

I was tired when I read that last night, so I didn't really look around then and check her out.  But I will...   ::MonkeyWink::

Reading that just brought more what ifs for me.

Somebody kept a souvenir, really?

Still thinking about a fish trap from almost ten years ago now.
I've always thought they'd try to figure out another way to close this without admitting it was her in that trap!
Even if this is IT, I'm not sure I'll ever believe the circumstances presented are how it actually went down.  smh
jmo


So I suspicion it's a Dutch lab looking at the alleged remains. You know as well as I do from this board alone that these test can be concluded in 48 hours.

In my opinion TES did a thorough job looking at all areas - ya, I get it - allegedly 'moved'. I just don't see how Natalee could have been overlooked for 12 years in some "park" setting. Makes little to no sense. Someone would have stumbled upon her long before now.

If she was hidden in a morgue - yeah, hard to stumble upon her there if she is or was concealed. Aruba is only 19 miles by 7 miles - there are no unknown areas that aren't traversed by people all the time. This isn't like a 500 square mile State park where anything could get lost or be hidden.

Also, for anyone wondering if the authorities suddenly decided to "unearth" Natalee - no way. They made their bed and are content to live in it.

Just like you - I have no idea what's really going on here - however, I remain very skeptical. And that's not because I don't think Natalee won't be found or can't be found (and that's truly a possibility) it's just that this story so far doesn't lend alot of credence.

Maybe they're hurting enough with the situation in Venezuela?  You know it has to be hitting them hard, whether they admit it or not.

TJ said if the remains aren't Natalee's, they need to know who they belong to.  Monkeys need to know who was in the fish trap too!   ::Baseball::

You know they've probably heard that the monkeys aren't buying the BS about the fish trap, and aren't going to shut up about it.   ::MonkeyDevil::  ::MonkeyGavel::  

They will never live this down staying comfortable in that bed they've made.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

Justice for Natalee!   ::justice2nj2::



I've been saying it too, even if I whispered.   ::MonkeyWink::

Three episodes in, if it's her, I know I won't believe it happened as is being presented.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

But I'll still be thankful for any closure the family can receive.

jmo

P. S.  Klaas, affirmative on the gullible imo.    ::MonkeyRoll:: ::MonkeyNoNo::

Just one example...

This week I've wanted more than ever to just walk away from this whole documentary.  But there I was last night watching episode 4, like a moth to the flame.  Now Gabe is saying he doesn't see how they can possibly fit the rest of the story into episode's five and six so maybe they're going to leave us hanging for Season 2?  He says none of the places TJ went to in episode 4 is the right place, he never used the gps they gave him, and also hints that Natalee wasn't even buried at all since the ground is too hard.  Gabe says the connection Joran has to the location is that a friend of Paulus' from The Netherlands owned the land, and Paulus would check on it for him.

I'll be so glad when this is over.   ::MonkeyNoNo:: ::MonkeyWaa::

I can't watch it.  Haven't watched even one episode.  Frankly, I don't want to give them the ratings.  From what I've read it's no more than a bunch of BS to keep people tied to their TV's.  We know who's responsible for Natalee's death.  I had hopes that possibly some of her remains were found but that hope is fading.

Natalee 's remains were found on the land that Paulus Van Der Sloot's friend owns.
That he was watching over for him, nice friend bury her at his friends yard..
Now Joran knew it was there is this another reason he became friends with John because it was
near where John's aunt lives?
 Now this seems odd to me because John didn't know Joran at this time 2005 but did John know this before.. Why do I care?

Beth Holloway brings message of hope to United Way kickoff

Posted Friday, September 8, 2017 9:06 am
BY John Underwood

DAPHNE — Millions around the country and throughout the world are familiar with the story of Beth Holloway’s fight to get answers in the wake of the disappearance of her daughter Natalee in Aruba in 2005.

The story is one of supreme tragedy, but also one of hope that she shared at United Way of Baldwin County’s 2017 Campaign Kick Off Luncheon Thursday, Sept. 7 at the Daphne Civic Center.

“I am here because what happened to my daughter Natalee can happen to you,” she said. “It can happen to anyone, at any time, at any place and at any age. But through tragedy comes hope and when we live united in hope, good things can come of it.”

 ::snipping3::

Holloway then shared her story from the beginning of a worried parent, seeing her daughter leave on a trip following high school graduation, to hearing that her daughter was missing in Aruba, to the fight to obtain information from authorities in Aruba and different stories told by main suspect Joran van der Sloot, who was later convicted in the death of another young woman in Peru.

“We thought we had gone over all that information with (Natalee) of what not to do when visiting a foreign country,” Holloway said. “About how most people are tourists there to have a good time, but some are not. That you should never leave the group, never leave your drink unattended and never go off by yourself with a stranger. Natalie got comfortable and let her guard down. In that moment she was taken advantage of, she lost her life and it changed our lives forever.”

Through the battles for information with the government, van der Sloot, his friends and family, Holloway said she got up one morning with an overwhelming urge to pray.

In the early morning hours, she said, she went out, hailed a taxi and indicated that she needed to find a church or somewhere to pray.

“He took me down this road, stopped and motioned for me to get out,” she said. “There on the side of the road was a beautiful large white cross and I discovered that there were a row of crosses leading up to a church.”

She said she went to the cross, fell on her knees and asked God to bring her daughter back. After repeating this several times she felt an overwhelming sense of peace.

“I knew in that moment that she was with God and whatever happened to her, in that moment, she was wrapped up in the arms of God and she was with him,” Holloway said. “I am here today because in that moment, I decided that I was going to continue to get up, put one foot forward and hope that the other would follow.

“Natalee had hope. She was active in our church, in her youth group and in the community. She was an honors student. She received a scholarship to the University of Alabama and planned to go to medical school to be a doctor. I have no doubt, given the opportunity, that she would have accomplished all of those things.

“I can share her story and I thank you for hearing her story even though her story is not an easy one to hear because I can share in the knowledge that I carry her hope with me. I am so proud of groups like the United Way who do so much to help others. It is my purpose to share Natalee’s hope with others that when we live united in hope, we can accomplish anything.”

I was not sure how I felt when this documentary started. But the more I see and read I realize I was once again hopeful. Now I feel I'm going to get that awful disappointment again.
This last episode seemed so overly dramatic, for tv sake. And TJ Ward comes across looking like an egotistical control freak. Who turns hard on their source because their pride is hurt? And why in the world would Dave do this to his family if it's not a genuine lead toward truth? I would understand that you might want to document everything so the Arubans can't say "didn't happen". With cameras along the entire journey they can't say that. I'm pretty sure, imo, that they have the DNA results but will wait until episode 6 airs. And since they have already said they want a second season, about what? Gaaah, it's frustrating. If this doesn't lead to Nataleeill never understand why Dave would do this. Is he broke?
Sorry my mind is bouncing because although I'm trying to think positive and hang in there with this show I'm getting that awful sinking feeling. Fingers crossed, prayers said, let her come home 🙏
(And I could care less in Joran got tried in Aruba, he's better off right where he is)

I was searching for a personal e-mail address for Kyle Kingman, but have only found contact information on his work site. I would like to be able to contact him personally (not through a second or third party) to simply ask his thoughts. 10 years ago, Kyle did not have the "clout" to speak his mind and was worried about getting future work. He appears to be in a "secure" place and time now - I would really like to hear his thoughts!

Thank y'all for the get well wishes. I'm all better! I watched the most recent episode and I have to say how disappointed in TJ I am. I don't fault him for furthering his career and for better or worse Natalee is apart of his resume. I get that. And if this TV show keeps the pressure on maybe someone will finally tell what they know. So I've never thought any of this was a bad thing. I just never believed the Gabe/John part. I was disgusted at the way TJ behaved. He was acting just like Gabe! "This is MY investigation!" He got so mad that Gabe talked to the female instead of TJ! Who the heck cares if it all leads to the burial spot in the end, TJ!! My goodness TJ was so petty and childish. Poor Dave.

Natalee Holloway's Biological Remains Required For DNA Comparison, Forensic Scientist Says
A forensic scientist looking into the presumed death of Natalee Holloway said that biological material are required for DNA comparison to confirm the remains found in Aruba belonged to the missing teenager.

Natalee, 18, of Mountain Brook, Alabama, was last seen during her vacation in Aruba, a Dutch Carribean island off Venezuela.

Dr. Jason Kolowski said on the fourth episode of the six-part Oxygen series "The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway" Saturday that there’s reason to believe that human remains allegedly dug up in the case match the timeline of the teenager's presumed death in 2005.

“The lead is interesting, but it’s one part of a lot of other things that still have to fall into place to really give this investigation the legs on which to then move forward in handing this over to the Aruban police,” Kolowski says on the episode.

Earlier, the series revealed that skeletal remains of Natalee were mixed with a dog's in an effort to make it difficult for anyone trying to seek the origin of the remains.

Dutch man Joran Van der Sloot, who is the prime suspect in the case, allegedly paid a man $1,500 to dig up Natalee’s remains. ::snipping3::

After Natalee's disappearance, the Holloways felt unsatisfied with the investigation by Aruban authorities and decided to continue the search for the truth themselves. During the private investigation, skeletal remains were unearthed. An initial test found the human remains belonged to a single person of Caucasian and European descent. Natalee was Caucasian and of European descent.

“We’re going to have statistical probability and a confidence level that this is Natalee or not,” Kolowski told the Daily Mail last month. “We’re waiting on the lab to finalize the data, which they will deliver to me and I will try to turn the data around into results which I will then deliver to Dave.”

I can't watch it.  Haven't watched even one episode.  Frankly, I don't want to give them the ratings.  From what I've read it's no more than a bunch of BS to keep people tied to their TV's.  We know who's responsible for Natalee's death.  I had hopes that possibly some of her remains were found but that hope is fading.

I was searching for a personal e-mail address for Kyle Kingman, but have only found contact information on his work site. I would like to be able to contact him personally (not through a second or third party) to simply ask his thoughts. 10 years ago, Kyle did not have the "clout" to speak his mind and was worried about getting future work. He appears to be in a "secure" place and time now - I would really like to hear his thoughts!

Hi Wreck,
I wonder if this email still works?

Well, one only needs to re-read that thread to be reminded what many feel was and is the truth. As you mentioned earlier, the "Freebirds" were the most clued in.




One only needs to read that thread to have an understanding that something devious transpired out in the waters off Aruba. That thread contains lots of great information, that I believe, got us as close to the truth as we can expect with the dirt that inhabits Aruba.  ::MonkeyNoNo:: ::boxjoran::

I am getting the shot because my mother had it, 2 sisters had it and one of those sisters had it so bad it lasted for at least 7 months or more and it was in her eye, across her head and on top of that she was taking chemo.  It was a horrible time she had.  My mom and other sister had it around their waist which was really easier on them and not as bad.  Also, if you have had shingles they want give you the shot unless it has been so many years since you had it.  I haven't had the pneumonia shot yet either but will.

Blonde - I strongly advise the shingles shot.  Only those that have never had shingles can get the shot.  If you had chicken pox as a child the virus is dormant and can surface any time, often due to stress.  I' have the tendency to get cold sores, which is a type of herpes virus and thought it wise to seek protection with the shingles vaccine.
My husband and I have had our shots without negative side effects.
Good luck.

Had the shingles shot and it was a breeze. I have peripheral neuropathy and when I asked my doc about getting the shot he told me with PN if I got shingles I'd probably never get rid of them. Please share - who knew? Also I get my Rx from Walmart and they offer free shots including shingles which is an expensive one.

I guess I'm the one who started it, so I will chime in re. the shingles vaccine.

As one of you correctly stated, if you had chicken pox in the past, you actually HAVE shingles already, it's just dormant. However, you can get shingles without having had chicken pox. But you really need to see about the shingles vaccine if you did have chicken pox, because you are walking around with a dormant case.

Shingles, chicken pox, and cold sores (aka fever blisters) are variations of the same virus, which is herpes. Common sense says that if you have ANY kind of herpes, you should get the shingles vaccine.

HOWEVER, I have heard that there are some folks who should not get the vaccine. For example, folks with a compromised immune system.

Also, contrary to another comment here, I have heard that even if you already have had shingles, you should get the vaccine - it is somewhat helpful in preventing future outbreaks. (Yes, shingles can come and go ... ) This could be incorrect. So -

- So it's a topic for your next doctor's office visit. But it's definitely a worthwhile precaution. Shingles is an awful, uncomfortable disease, and can be fatal. I've not had it, but I do know a gentleman who died ...

John & Joran lie all of the time what lie do we believe

in the documentary of Peter R. d. Vries with a hidden camera Joran said he called a friend. That friend said to him: go home, i solve your problem. Than Joran goes home en goes on the Internet. John takes the body and buried the body in the near of his aunts house, in my opinion.
 It's my theory, but i thnk Joran speaks the truth.?

Thank you everyone for the get well wishes and advice!   ::MonkeyHeart::
I'm so thankful that my case has been mild compared to others I've seen bedridden for weeks with this mess.  The pain has been manageable with otc meds and apple cider vinegar and coconut oil have worked wonders on the local itching and inflammation.  Oatmeal baths too.  I'd had flu like symptoms off and on for about two weeks before I broke out, and have just felt really tired through it all.

Blue Moon, I was in a panic state for the first week afraid I was going to get it in one of my eyes, but it's fine now.  Didn't make sense because the main area is down one side, but it just felt weird.  I can't even imagine seven months of this and chemo too, how awful!

Wreck, if you haven't had chicken pox you can catch it from someone with shingles.  Our oldest had shingles when he was in HS, before we figured out it wasn't just bites he'd popped a friend with his towel in the locker room, two weeks later the friend got chicken pox.

Do you really think that attention seeking nut would have stayed out of sight and out of mind for five years?  Absent from Joran's social media too?  He would have owed him big time, and Joran was getting all of the attention.  He couldn't get on Nancy Grace fast enough after Joran murdered again!  Paulus is the friend he called, and I have a hard time believing even Paulus would have sat still for five years if Joran knew where she was buried considering he was selling story after story no matter how it reflected on the family.

Tincie Wicks Turner I'm thinking the remains behind johns aunts house was something john did as a trophy or for his own proof.. the rest of her body is buried elsewhere. When the DNA comes bank that it's Natalee I have no doubt Dave would fund a trip to Aruba to bring his daughter home. John is looking really bad, probably better do it quick before the moron overdoses.

Gabriel Madrigal Christine Adams cause what if it's close to the area and he didn't tell me exactly I don't trust him on that that's why we still need him
September 13 at 11:31pm

Christine Adams Gabriel Madrigal what does that mean? If it's close to the area? (Her remains?) What area? (Her last resting place?) I know we are all asking a ton of questions! I do wish they had just told us. I didn't really understand the series. I remember the when Natalee disappeared I watched Greta every night on Fox News and just prayed and prayed they would find her. I can only assume they are making money from advertisers as they gain more interest in that docuseries. But will there be more episodes after the 6th one?

Gabriel Madrigal Christine Adams honestly I don't see them putting so much into two episodes I just don't see it

It's all crap. Gabe would have not worked for 5 years for no payday guarantee. If he did ... God bless him, but  I doubt it seriously. If his intentions were solely to find Natalee (as he says he did) - he can provide the remains still today and be a hero. Money will come on it's own. He now appears part of the problem instead of the solution.

He calls himself a mexican all the time, he's always late and calls it MST mexican standard time.

I have only tracked him back as far as California, so no idea if he is here legally or not.

I think there was some doubt as to if he could go to Aruba at all because he was still on probation from the drug charge.

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=14615.msg1614984#msg1614984

But they must have gotten permission somehow, because they did show video of him in Aruba with his girlfriend and John and his girlfriend, and my understanding is that footage was from March.  That was the trip that John supposedly got mad and bailed so no evidence was gathered, and Gabe says he and John went back to Aruba alone at the end of April and that's when Dolph Richardson took the bones from him at the hotel room.

JMO, im starting to think the docu, is an example of all the BS Dave has to go
through anytime someone says, hey ive got some good info/proof about Natalee
and prob one of the reasons he doesnt pay informants, b/c its prob a scam for $$
if Dave makes a little $$ to continue his search for Natalee, good for him

when Dave said back in 2015, that the perps had her body removed from the island
i agreed with him then, and i dont think the remains bones found in aruba are 
Natalee. John the jerk prob dug up a grave, (wonder what the laws are in aruba for
desecrating a grave) and has been scamming Gabe the whole time, or they cooked up
the scam together. did Gabe say he met John at a casino?

link to info from 2015
http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/index.ssf/2015/05/i_dont_know_how_many_times_ive.html

Dave says working with informant prob talking about Gabe,for 18 months, what did Gabe
say,he worked with John 5 yrs for Johns info, so thats roughly 3 yr, just Gabe & John
i think i smell something in fl. and it stinks

Hi Blonde,
To answer your question, from what I recall and my notes:

John Ludwick, from what I recall, did not
show up publically until Stephany was murdered
by Joran. Watch this snippet of him on Nancy Grace where
he says that Joran murdered Stephany because
she provoked him into it. [Keep in mind, he has
no knowledge of what went on between Joran and
Stephany, but he has all this nonesense he spills
out blaming Stephany. Compare how he looks
on Nancy Grace's show to how he looks today. If you
ask me, from what I recall about this guy was he
was just someone who was planted into the derailment
of the whole case. He got attention. And I
think he is just a drug addict. Now jump to today, he is running the same
game play - asking for money, pointing fingers and blame.
Refereence:
http://mrmedizin.com/video/vi74MxwzXcXLbrA


Here you can read that John Ludwick blames the victim:

Tiffany Gabbay Jan 11, 2012 9:31 pm:
"Ludwick had earlier defended van der Sloot, saying he didn’t deserve the death penalty and that it was a crime of passion.

“She put herself in the situation Nancy!” Ludwick argued. “As soon as she found out who he was, she should have left, she shouldn’t have started an argument and fighting with him, and being in an isolated area…If I was a woman and I was in her situation I surely wouldn’t have stood around to ask him that question, I would have got out of there.”"

"Y'all remember Joran's friend John Ludwick? " 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDzzLlhFMl4
http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=14615.780


Jurrien de Jong:
"Holloway says his private investigator talked to Jurrien de Jong over the phone and used a voice analysis tool to test for deception.

“He called me back a day or so later and said, ‘look Dave. This guy is telling the truth,’” said Holloway."
Reference: http://wkrn.com/2015/05/19/dad-cautiously-renews-hope-in-finding-missing-daughter-natalee-holloway/



My opinion: There is a pattern that all these people have no proof of their assertions.

 I took pictures of the bones fragments from my TV   ::MonkeyNoNo::
John doesn't speak clear did he say he burned her head and something else in a cave 150 feet from site.
 I wish their was a transcript I can get
 Aruba police said they were going to handle John but of course never did shit he left Aruba nothing happen to him no questioning nothing Dave was upset  and disappointed again.
 I will have to watch it a few more times
Edit to add John said he & Joran went to get Natalee because Joran was afraid of the new searches that she may be found like the skull in the water and the Jaw bone .
He asked John to help they got up before sun rise and dug her up she was in a burlap bag wrapped in a blue tarp they smashed her apart took her head and something else and burned them in a cave  150 feet from where Joran buried her she still smelled like a decomposed body  ::MonkeyNoNo::

John went to the FBI he should get a Academy award for his fake performance to TJ almost crying because of what he did.

'Natalee Holloway's Skull Burned In Aruba Cave In 2010'

Natalee Holloway's skull was burned in an Aruba cave in 2010, prime suspect Joran Van der Sloot's friend has said in a video. Holloway went missing in Aruba, a Dutch Carribean island off Venezuela, on May 30, 2005.

The fifth episode of the Oxygen series, “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,” aired Saturday in which Van der Sloot's friend John Ludwick revealed what he and his friend Van der Sloot did with Holloway's remains. The series chronicles Holloway's father Dave's efforts to uncover the mystery behind his daughter's death. Dave, along with his private investigator T.J. Ward, worked for months to find new leads in the case.

Ludwick agreed to give out details about Holloway's death after an informant working with Ward recorded him saying that Van der Sloot paid him $1,500 to dig up Holloway’s body. Three people are believed to have played a part in her disappearance — Dutchman Van der Sloot and two Surinamese brothers, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. However, Van der Sloot was never charged due to lack of evidence.

In the clip that was shown on the show, Ludwick said Van der Sloot had initially discussed having Holloway's remains cremated. Even though it was illegal to bring in human remains for cremation in Aruba, Ludwick said some morgues would cremate pets. “The idea was to crush everything to the point where it wasn’t recognizable as her bones or skull or anything like that,” Ludwick said, explaining that he and Joran spent hours pummeling the bones. 

“The only thing that got burned was the skull to burn the hair fibers,” says John. “It was doused in gasoline in a fire pit in a cave.”

Earlier episodes revealed that Holloway's remains were mixed with that of a dog and were cremated. Days later, the ashes were likely scattered off the coast of Aruba, from where the teenager went missing in 2005.

Dave's 18-month long private investigation uncovered human skeletal remains at an undisclosed location in Aruba. Currently, the remains are being analyzed to check if it is linked to the case. An initial test found the human remains belonged to a single person of Caucasian and European descent. Natalee was Caucasian and of European descent.

“We’re going to have statistical probability and a confidence level that this is Natalee or not,” Forensic scientist Dr. Jason Kolowski told the Daily Mail last month. “We’re waiting on the lab to finalize the data, which they will deliver to me and I will try to turn the data around into results which I will then deliver to Dave.”

"Final DNA results are expected by late September or early October," he said. Holloway was legally declared dead in 2012 after Aruban authorities closed the case in 2008. ::snipping3::



"The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway" airs Saturday 9 p.m. EDT on Oxygen.

The fifth episode of the Oxygen series, “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,” aired Saturday in which Van der Sloot's friend John Ludwick revealed what he and his friend Van der Sloot did with Holloway's remains. The series chronicles Holloway's father Dave's efforts to uncover the mystery behind his daughter's death. Dave, along with his private investigator T.J. Ward, worked for months to find new leads in the case.

Ludwick agreed to give out details about Holloway's death after an informant working with Ward recorded him saying that Van der Sloot paid him $1,500 to dig up Holloway’s body. Three people are believed to have played a part in her disappearance — Dutchman Van der Sloot and two Surinamese brothers, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. weren't involved in this part However, Van der Sloot was never charged due to lack of evidence.

In the clip that was shown on the show, Ludwick said Van der Sloot had initially discussed having Holloway's remains cremated. Even though it was illegal to bring in human remains for cremation in Aruba, Ludwick said some morgues would cremate pets. “The idea was to crush everything to the point where it wasn’t recognizable as her bones or skull or anything like that,” Ludwick said, explaining that he and Joran spent hours pummeling the bones.   for 7 hours  

“The only thing that got burned was the skull to burn the hair fibers,” There was more to what was left of her says John. “It was doused in gasoline in a fire pit in a cave.” Their is more to this it was not only what they are saying not a cave bunch of overhung trees that looked like a cave John was high on heroin got confused

Earlier episodes revealed that Holloway's remains were mixed with that of a dog and were cremated. Days later, the ashes were likely scattered off the coast of Aruba, from where the teenager went missing in 2005. Not true

Dave's 18-month long private investigation uncovered human skeletal remains at an undisclosed location in Aruba. Currently, the remains are being analyzed to check if it is linked to the case. An initial test found the human remains belonged to a single person of Caucasian and European descent. Natalee was Caucasian and of European descent.

“We’re going to have statistical probability and a confidence level that this is Natalee or not,” Forensic scientist Dr. Jason Kolowski told the Daily Mail last month. “We’re waiting on the lab to finalize the data, which they will deliver to me and I will try to turn the data around into results which I will then deliver to Dave.”

"Final DNA results are expected by late September or early October," he said. Holloway was legally declared dead in 2012 after Aruban authorities closed the case in 2008. ::snipping3::


There is still More of Natalee hidden in Aruba only John knows were it is he's going to want $$ for his time and compensated for his expenses he's smart for a junkie because that's not extortion

 Natalee was Not buried she was not underground  but put to rest on that cul-de-sac and not found. Hidden in plain sight  

From what I saw it was hard to remember where she was because the vegetation growth and the fact it was 7 years later.
They had markers like a heart rock and then counted steps TJ got it all wrong and left he gave up..
John went back to Aruba John wanted to get paid John for his time.
It took a while for them to find because of the steps  the vegetation growth and the fact it was 7 years later. Also John was high when he did this 7 years ago things were not so clear now..
John was getting nightmares of Natalee he said he wanted to come clean??? but be paid


"The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway" airs Saturday 9 p.m. EDT on Oxygen.

What they dug up and did to Natalee is beyond anything you could imagine, it's terrible
I pray that Joran & John get what they deserve

I was so hopeful until I saw last night's episode. John hasn't told a consistent story, and if the story he told TJ is lies how disgusting to put that kind of nastiness into the universe. What a piece of crap. Someone said (I think TJ)  John's story passed lie detection software or whatever, but how can it when the story changes every time he tells it? And his eyes say he is looking off into space searching for his next "line of bull". I guess we'll see next week but I'm with most here now, not believing. And why a second season? gah, so frustrating

His gofundme's were posted here before the first episode aired.  He's changed the wording quite a bit since it was posted originally, not sure who specifically, but someone complained about Natalee's name being used to raise funds in that manner.  He said he took his daughter's name out too because of threats, etc.

This is an archived post for a gofundme he had named Bring Natalee Home.

Lonely Joran chat from Peruvian cell (VIDEO)
PUBLISHED ON SATURDAY, JULY 8, 2017, 17:19
He has been lonely in his cell for years in the remote highlands of Peru, Joran van der Sloot. But completely out of the world he is not. From a video surfaced on the internet, he appears to have a fast connection, with which he can Skype. Among other things, with a boy who is in love with him.

Research journalist Martijn Mastenbroek publishes the images on Saturday on his blog. A 11-minute Skype conversation between Joran van der Sloot and an in love 'fan'.

Cockroaches
Joran complains about loneliness on his cell and about the fact that his wife, Leidy, no longer wants to come to prison with their child. "She thinks it's dirty here, there are cockroaches running, that's not good for the baby. And there are other people, she has no privacy. " As long as the convicted murderer is in the Challapalca prison, Leidy does not come along, he says. By the way, it's not exactly clear when the video is recorded, but the child of Joran and Leidy was born in September 2014. And in March 2016, Leidy visited the Challapalca prison again.

John ludwick threaten to kill himself yesterday he said he was feeling remorse sociopaths don't feel remorse  ::MonkeyDevil::
I think it was because  his girlfriend dumped him

 This makes me think it's a cry for  $$$$
Otherwise he wouldn't have said anything and just died IMO

Well I watched the latest  episode last night. Of course we all knew it was going to be a terrible decision to turn over the evidence to the Aruban authorities. TJ couldn't wait to give them everything he had! And poor Dave must have been feeling de ja vue. Dave talked about how bad it was in the beginning with the LE. He told the story of watching them pull up to the beach behind a bolder and put something into the back of their car and speed off. There were so many different scenarios that we discussed years ago. It seems like, at least for Dave, the story goes that Natalee and Joran went to the beach. Not a hotel, not Joran's guesthouse bedroom. And that "something bad happened" on the beach and Natalee died there. Paulus was then called, not Satish or Deepak or any other friend. And Paulus and Joran did something with her body. I still don't believe any of John's story. I still don't know what Paulus and Joran did with her body at that point. It's obvious to me that her death must have been more than drug related. Natalee's body COULD NOT be found for a reason. Paulus could not allow it to be found. There was simply never any reason to cover up death by drug overdose. There's no way to prove that she didn't take it willingly on a party island. And no way to prove that she didn't have sex willingly either. No, her body couldn't be found because they would find a head injury "she fell out of the car and hit her head". And in this latest episode we learn that after John and Joran dug up her remains they burned her scull. There again they are going to great links to hide her scull. Dave and TJ go the the LE first thing in the morning to give them everything and the forensic team shows up... at 9pm at night! Because they are just soooo busy in Aruba! Good grief! And poor Dave says into the camera "They even came out in the dark to get started working." No, they WAITED until dark to screw with this family again and so that they could PLANT evidence! But whatever, I swear, at this point we all know the LE has had Natalee's remains this entire time hidden. And they are giving Dave what he wants to make it all go away finally. I mean let's not kid ourselves, people are still going to that god awful hell hole for vacation. Enough time has passed and their tourism is back up. They know they got away with it. Just throw the blame on Joran for the murder and use this opportunity to give Dave a few bone fragments and be done with it. Sick sick sick

Then in 2010 John & Joran
Smashing Natalee head and burning it  while there was still recognizable parts to her on those bones is sick.. Who does that to someone..Taking seven hours with his boy(Joran) to crush her bones to pieces desecrating her body until it was dust ..he need to rot with Joran sorry i'm not buying this BS about he's sorry..This is sickening

Joran: That's your problem. If they find that girl, then they will see that shit.
Deepak: Eight more days and then I'm going home, I guarantee you that for a 1000 per cent.
Joran:  We will see.
Deepak: (to Joran) You don't give a shit about your, the members of your own family.
Deepak:  Your own father, unbelievable.

Sorry Blonde I just don't believe that. Paulus would never have raped her on the beach. Is this story coming from Gabe and John? I do not believe one single word of what they say. Not a word. Most likely Joran never told John the truth and if he did John was on drugs and I'm sure has no accurate memory of it.

And I don't believe for one minute that Paulus would tell Joran what he did with the body. He knew that Joran could not keep his mouth shut. If Joran had John dig up some bones, they were probably from one of the dogs that Joran killed.

The results that have been released have plainly stated that the gender of the remains could not be determined.

spooky112483 They Joran & Pauls both raped her she had their DNA all over her when she came to Joran put his hand over her mouth until she died. Then they bent her in half to hide her better .. I hate him

Then in 2010 John & Joran
Smashing Natalee head and burning it  while there was still recognizable parts to her on those bones is sick.. Who does that to someone..Taking seven hours with his boy(Joran) to crush her bones to pieces desecrating her body until it was dust ..he need to rot with Joran sorry i'm not buying this BS about he's sorry..This is sickening

Joran: That's your problem. If they find that girl, then they will see that shit.
Deepak: Eight more days and then I'm going home, I guarantee you that for a 1000 per cent.
Joran:  We will see.
Deepak: (to Joran) You don't give a shit about your, the members of your own family.
Deepak:  Your own father, unbelievable.

This conversation was recorded without the knowlege of the participants as they all three sat in the back seat of a police car
Sorry Blonde I just don't believe that. Paulus would never have raped her on the beach. Is this story coming from Gabe and John? I do not believe one single word of what they say. Not a word. Most likely Joran never told John the truth and if he did John was on drugs and I'm sure has no accurate memory of it.

And I don't believe for one minute that Paulus would tell Joran what he did with the body. He knew that Joran could not keep his mouth shut. If Joran had John dig up some bones, they were probably from one of the dogs that Joran killed.

I have the same reservations, and if Paulus did trust Joran, would Joran have trusted leaving his fate in the hands of John, someone he'd only known three months?  I'd come closer to believing Joran has his hand in this whole mess too, and will benefit if John and Gabe are paid.

I don't know about the rest of you, I know we've all studied some pretty sick stuff trying to find answers to this case and others, but I don't think I can come up with one example of a father/son rape duo. To say they raped her together, took turns, whatever. You are talking about a father and son. It's just so unlikely. After 12 years I think the simplest answer is the correct one. But we don't know! And probably never will! Joran is most definitely where he belongs. Now the ultimate goal is to bring Natalee home. I'm not trying to pick a fight. I've been a Scared Monkey since July of 2005. And respectfully, I don't care how many "sources" anyone thinks they have. I'm just gonna sit back and wait to see if Gabe turns out to be the hero he thinks he is or scammer I think he is. And I wouldn't recommend anyone send any of their hard earned money to his gofundme pages.

Yes, we've definitely seen a lot of really sick things over the years.  Multiple variations on how Natalee died from people who couldn't possibly know, along with the ever changing details of how her body was desecrated in this latest fiasco just hurts my heart.  I'll be so glad when this is over!  It still bugs me knowing that for years to come a lot of people will only remember and believe the latest headline they read from whatever episode...even if it actually turned out to be a lie.  The story doesn't keep changing if it's the truth.  Last I checked, Gabe's gofundme for his daughter had made $1,000.  Some were suggesting another for the money he says they need to go back to Aruba, someone said he needs $100,000, haven't checked to see if another gofundme is out there yet.  The push to get the money before John kills himself (and any definite results from the bone fragments are made public) were just par for the course imo.

Blonde, we all know Natalee was killed in a very unfortunate manner and the people responsible.  ::MonkeyCool::



Speaking out loud I thought it was confirmed somewhere that is was Paulus in
 Casino with Natalee earlier in the evening..Was Natalee Targeted by Father & son

Zoltan Zion blogspot this afternoon announcing that a "source" has confirmed that the person in the casino video is definitely Paulus van der Sloot.  Also confirming that Van Der Straaten was definitely at the party at the Sloots after Joran's release from his original detention.

We don't know what they did or didn't do fora fact  anyone can clean up evidence when your given over a week to do so.

<snip> He lied straight face to Natalees parents about where he last saw her. Really, things dont add up for him. If he is lying for some other reason, then maybe itll come out. Overall though I think we can all admit this is rather strange behavior for an innocent person. I honestly can care less how much his dad sweats on TV, that tells me nothing.

I'm the person that wrote some of that. Not sure where some of the other stuff came from - but none the less - TJ and Armand were two of the people that had inside information on the case and shared it with me. I posted some here and some other places.

It's not a big secret.

Paulus was having an affair with Karen Janssen. All of the other information I posted over the years I totally stand by. And there was quite a bit of it.

Since I'm logged in - I'll share my thoughts, quickly.

I didn't watch one minute of the docudrama. Why would I?

I knew TJ wanted a TV show for more than a decade. That's totally ok. He should have had one back in 2008 when the economy collapsed. I'm pretty sure I told you all that too. This isn't a secret, either. I helped him with many aspects. I shared that with Klaas at the time - and probably some others too. There weren't too many secrets in this case.

None of that is shocking. Dragging it out for ratings is shocking.

In my humble opinion, this is not Natalee. But that's just my opinion.

Thanks, Rob!  I've been wondering what you were thinking.  I remember you mentioning TJ and TV, just wish he'd gone with another subject.  Most that I've seen gobbling up the whole thing and hankering for the next episode didn't follow Natalee's case like we have.  I wish I hadn't watched any of it.  The feeling I have reminds me of the Tim Miller radio show let down multiplied by six episodes!  I don't think it's her either, and dragging it out for ratings is just wrong imo.

Hope all is well, Rob. Thanks for bringing sanity to this unfortunate situation for so long. The Monkey's have had to parse a lot of bullsh*t over the years.

Most people know far more than I when it comes to Natalee Holloway and her case. One thing I do know how to do is: Pay attention to those who know more than I, parse through the Bullsh*t and use logic and reasoning, ignore the manufactured noise that takes away from the "main point," and then rinse and repeat. We've all been here long enough to be able to parse through the bullsh*t. However, we all keep the faith that one day a miracle happens. God knows I believe in em'.

I agree as well! I've stated that I don't have any grudge whatsoever with TJ -- but I do regret his TV aspirations manifested themselves via Natalee. I DO believe he has wanted to find Natalee as much as anyone and has been a great help to Dave.
That said......... if you step back and look at it -- Aruba has always had Natalee and will only release her if and when they are ready. I sure as hell don't think they are "ready." In fact, this wild goose chase inwhich they appear to be cooperating is a sham and further bolsters their own story that they "don't know what happened to her." It's all so sad and frustrating.

I did, but was left feeling the same way as I have about the others.  Disgusted.  The bones that are being tested were hidden in a baggie at the bottom of a stone wall somewhere.  That's what Gabe and John supposedly "recovered" when they went back to Aruba by themselves and turned over to Dolph Richardson.  The tests with Beth's mitochondrial DNA didn't show a conclusive match but the forensics guy said he couldn't rule it out either, so they are doing more test from each bone. (I thought they'd previously said the mitochondrial testing would deplete the samples, but maybe I heard wrong.)  They should know the next results by October 6.  There's a segment at the end with Robin and Dave that confirmed my thought that he didn't do this for money for further searches.  Robin's ready for them to stop searching and move on with their lives, so I'm thinking more on the lines that college and sororities are expensive and Natalee has helped them out with that.  Dave said Natalee would say he's done enough.  TJ looked like he'd dyed his eyebrows and mustache for this one.  Good grief.  smh

Since I'm logged in - I'll share my thoughts, quickly.

I didn't watch one minute of the docudrama. Why would I?

I knew TJ wanted a TV show for more than a decade. That's totally ok. He should have had one back in 2008 when the economy collapsed. I'm pretty sure I told you all that too. This isn't a secret, either. I helped him with many aspects. I shared that with Klaas at the time - and probably some others too. There weren't too many secrets in this case.

None of that is shocking. Dragging it out for ratings is shocking.

In my humble opinion, this is not Natalee. But that's just my opinion.

I know you helped TJ a lot and you know him better than any of us do.  I have not watched any of this docudrama either.   I agree, this is not Natalee and I'm somewhat surprised Dave allowed himself to be sucked in.

 ::justice2nj2:: ::boxjoran:: ::justice2nj2::
To your last point about Dave, in the last episode Dave, TJ, and the lady with the cadaver dog are talking and she asks TJ to tell her more about what John had described they did to her remains. At this point I’m screaming at the tv “LET DAVE LEAVE THE ROOM FIRST!!!” But no, TJ just starts saying “Well they bashed in the back of the skull...” and poor Dave has to say “Wait stop let me leave the room I don’t need to keep hearing this.” I was so mad! And I couldn’t believe that after all this time Dave still expressed confidence in Dolphi Richardson. At least up until the last episode where Dolphi proves to Dave again that the do not care to solve this. One more observation, when John and Gabe are digging up the baggie of bones that John says he buried there back in 2010, John’s reaction was like he was seeing it for the first time. He seemed shocked to find anything and shocked that there were actual bones in the bag. If he put it there he should not have reacted that way imo. As I watched it I thought, yeah I bet someone else planted it there and sent John to go dig it up and act like he put it there back in 2010.

 when John  found the bag, i stopped the vid and looked  at it, and
no way was that bag in that spot since 2010.
JMO
since the guy testing says the bones are human, John knows where the rest of
the remains are, that those bones belong to. that bag looks like it was put there
just day/s ago, b4 John found it
im having a hard time figuring out, where John would get human bones though

He wants Natalee home but I'm getting a bad feeling that something is up


In the documentary of Peter R de Vries with the hidden camera Joran said he had called his friend with the payphone at the Mariott. his friend (Daddy or John ) Everybody said its a lie because with that Phone you only could make international calls.
But is possible when he had called John! On his FB John said he has a international  phone number       Just want the truth

Blonde,

Many of us Monkey's could spend some time going back over timelines and information, in turn, concocting some bullsh*t story in order to extort and fleece Beth or Dave. Me personally, I will never give any credence to anybody and/or anyone, who is looking for anything other than justice for Natalee Holloway. Kermit hit the nail on the head...I would love to see a "real" investigative documentary that looks at the Persistence, the Americans involved, and ask the questions with hard-driven follow-up questions. Then, and only then, do "I" think we'll be getting anywhere. All the rest is a distraction, for me.

From the us to Aruba
Do I need a passport to travel to Aruba?

In most cases passports are required. Since June 1, 2009, all travelers from the US must present a Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) compliant document such as a passport or a passport card for re-entry to the United States. More information is available on our Aruba entry requirements and visas page.

 Two of my friends who went looking for Natalee in 2005 did not have passports just drivers licence

Did Joran speak the truth?
september 29, 2017
Joran van der Sloot has spoken the truth in the documentary of Peter R. de Vries, at least almost the truth. That is a very plausible theory after a thorough analysis of the 2008 documentary by Peter R. de Vries and the documentary 'The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway' of Oxygen (this documentary was also broadcast by RTL in the Netherlands in August and September 2017) and based on new insights and facts. By comparing the two documentaries mentioned, new light is on the case. ::snipping3::

In the early morning of May 30, 2005, the Kalpoe brothers Natalee and Joran in Aruba dropped off the road between the Marriott Hotel and Moomba Beach Bar. Joran and Natalee met just the previous evening. Arrived on the beach they walk together in the north direction. That tells Joran's friend in Oxygen's documentary. Natalee suddenly begins to foam from her mouth, perhaps by GHB. Or did Joran kill her, for example because she did not want sex with him? The wine incident at Paul and Witteman indicates at first, but evidence is not there. The murder of Stephanie Flores points to the second possibility. Joran is capable of murder and in the documentary of Peter R. de Vries he shakes tremendously with his left shoulder when he speaks about the moment he says Natalee dies ... Or was it a combination? ::snipping3::

The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative made it more difficult for American citizens to travel outside the United States. The Department of Homeland Security completely adopted the new travel restrictions in 2009 and now U.S. citizens must show a passport book or passport card to leave the United States. Aruba has its own required documents. Travelers must satisfy both.

So it's very possible that anybody could have gone in and out of Aruba before 2009 with just a license this makes it way more interesting to me plus the fact that I was told me to take it off now because I was going to start a conspiracy theory and they didn't want that very interesting you know how we like that

If John was involved in 2005, he would not have stayed out of sight out of mind until 2010 unless he was incarcerated, imo.  Too much publicity, and he is an attention seeker.  Who is John's aunt that owns the rental property on Aruba?  Don't think I've ever seen anyone say in all I've read, so I don't know anything about her or how long she's been there or owned property there, or if she's actually ever lived there.  If she has a real estate business, the chamber registry should show how long she's been in business etc.  I remember John talking about he and Joran being at the real estate office and working by putting out signs for them, but I don't know if it was his aunt's business or not.  May be a dead end, but could shed some light on how long he could have legitimately been going there with or to visit family.

the blog blonde posted mentions aunt name is, Mary Ellen Walter.

Quote
John Ludwick was probably in Aruba in 2005, although there are no evidence yet. As in 2010 (and possibly in intermediate years), he lived in the summer with his aunt Mary Ellen Walter. So he lived more or less alone with his aunt, as Joran says in the documentary of Peter R. de Vries. The graduation at Intermont is always in early May, after which it is a holiday.

but homeland made a rule/law you had to carry it, see link

The VDS home is located approx. ½ mile from my home. It is in my estimate approx 10 years old. It is not one of the old cunucu style / type homes that has a cistern, they get their water from the same source that I do, the Alto Vista water tank.
No outhouses that I have ever seen, except for the port-a-potty’s at construction sites. My first home when I moved here was approx. 40 years old, same type of septic tank I have in my new, one year old home, with a 4 inch opening, no manholes to climb down into it, no way to fit anything larger than 4 inch into.

No oil wells here, this place is solid “clip”, granite rock.

Our water plant is the second largest desalination plant in the world, and yes the water is the best in the world.

If you've never seen inside the Alto Vista Chapel, this link has a cool 360 degree feature (on the right side of the page) that lets you look inside it.  If you click on it after it starts, the picture will go to full screen.

THIS REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION:
Early the next morning as he was arriving to the location on the same road as the Alto Vista Chapel he ran into Paul Van Der Sloot in his jeep who he made direct eye contact with.  It has always bothered me as I wondered what was PVDS doing up so early in the morning in that location.

This was in Dutch translated to English so a lots of words get lost in translation

I now think this could have been especially after receiving a text from Gabe
(Yea but immigration records don't lie john was never there in 2005 like you are claiming his very first time was late 2009  we have immigration records.
 So stop saying he was there back in 2005

He wasent but you know more than me so why don't you tell the world ok bye don't have time for this conspiracy theories )

BLOCKED  I have found it you don't agree with G he blocks you you can't have a mind of you own overin G land #teamgabe what ever that is  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Also his girls or I call the the others defend him to the death.
 Almost like Manson followers Yikes  ::MonkeyNoNo::

This Dutch guy who wrote the article has some good points, he has found my body in the bag pictures from the internet he added them to his story.
His story is based on theory it doesn't match up with 
G and JL story  so G is saying it's all bull

All I know for a fact is Natalee is Dead she died in Aruba

<I did this wrong  added and edit  >

This is all very interesting and worth looking into, I think.
I just remembered something from way back at the beginning -
hidden in plain view!



Thank you Klassand for the map.

I see that the house is on the market for sale.
https://www.remax-caribbeanislands.com/aruba/noord/AltoVista2-00130282051


Joran would be familiar with that area, as well as his dad.
Plus no one would be around at night or early morning.
Hidden in plain site. What if Paulus buried her in that area.
I mean we've checked and double checked everything else. And
when you look at the maps of that area, very difficult to find a body
that was buried. Geez, I wonder if that was all searched with cadaver dogs?

This is from Beth when she wrote about going to
the Chapel:

"The sun is up as I reach the top of the hill to see the Alto Vista chapel.  When I step onto the chapel grounds I am free"

THIS REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION:
Early the next morning as he was arriving to the location on the same road as the Alto Vista Chapel he ran into Paul Van Der Sloot in his jeep who he made direct eye contact with.  It has always bothered me as I wondered what was PVDS doing up so early in the morning in that location.

#TEAMGABE join me tonight let’s debunk
with solid proof  not made up stuff like she claims
Gabe is talking shit about me I guess he's mad about the passport proof
That John L could have been in Aruba in 2005


I will call the FBI if he slanders me I have friends that email me info..
I just sent him a text showing him I know what he's going to do NO RESPONCE
  Actually I'm going to call the FBI I think he's dangerous especially the fact that he has been arrested before and has a record..

Also I have pictures to share of the last episode of oxygen Series 6 but I can't get them to you because I don't have any way to do that I wish this site was made different

if John was there in 2005, that sets Johns knowing of crime and him
pos making up chit 4sale, cant have that Gabe stuff wont sell
 
johns age is?, im thinking 30/31, maybe 35
anyway 30-12 = 18, so John was 18 or older in 2005

guess we will see 10/6/17, im thinking results will be inconclusive

edit forgot: human bones John, WTH

John says on record  in his video that he has been going to Aruba in and out of his life for years now and sometimes he overstayed his Visa so he could very well have been there and help Jordan to get rid of the body

Do you think this is why he's threatened me I have no problem calling the FBI tomorrow morning if I find out that he slandered me tonight because I do have friends in  places that will tell me what he post

How does he think that I got the screenshot that I got it was sent to me I know you guys get mad at me but sometimes people send me stuff and I can't say who it's from or I won't get the information
I'm on my phone now but when I get on my laptop I will give you the exact age of John I think he's not much older than Jordan

You're a very smart woman sometimes I get too close to the case and I can't see things that are very clear you're right lies won't sell can't make a book on a bunch of Lies let's just see what happens with the bones I do have pictures but I don't know how to post them Moto buckets not working I may email them all to klassen sorry talk text doesn't know how to say your name thank you so much kisses

Ok — did anyone watch the series last night?

I did, but was left feeling the same way as I have about the others.  Disgusted.  The bones that are being tested were hidden in a baggie at the bottom of a stone wall somewhere.  That's what Gabe and John supposedly "recovered" when they went back to Aruba by themselves and turned over to Dolph Richardson.  The tests with Beth's mitochondrial DNA didn't show a conclusive match but the forensics guy said he couldn't rule it out either, so they are doing more test from each bone. (I thought they'd previously said the mitochondrial testing would deplete the samples, but maybe I heard wrong.)  They should know the next results by October 6.  There's a segment at the end with Robin and Dave that confirmed my thought that he didn't do this for money for further searches.  Robin's ready for them to stop searching and move on with their lives, so I'm thinking more on the lines that college and sororities are expensive and Natalee has helped them out with that.  Dave said Natalee would say he's done enough.  TJ looked like he'd dyed his eyebrows and mustache for this one.  Good grief.  smh

jmo

I will never doubt your opinion again
I have to admit at first thought it was Natalee
 Then the signs starting with John killing himself scam
Need more money to get to Aruba fast scam
If John dies they we'll never find the bones scam
 So sad for Natalees Family

When Beth gets serious about a lead, I'll get serious. Otherwise, I refuse to feed the beast...

I'm careful to not propagate "suspect" information, from "suspect" individuals that continue to shine the light on themselves and potentially make blood money off of Natalee. We have all been witness to the misinformation and should approach information accordingly. Just my opinion, but what do I know?

The screen captures you sent me aren't clear enough to determine.  That said, I posted the supposed bones that was posted on the Oxygen website.  They look like bones but not being an expert, I could not know if human or animal and of course, would not know who's they were. 

This entire show was a scam and I'm so sorry Dave had to get sucked into it.

I was told by a friend that he bashed me bad last night in #Gabsway everyone was making fun of me calling his pictures BS
I said NO way these are Natalee this is a scam
I was attacked by him and slandered I have saved PM from all of his lies starting with he used 300,000 of his money to fund this then it went up to 400,00 at this point the flag went up.
The attempted fake suicide to get $$$ to go back to Aruba to get the rest of her bones..
Now wondering if hiss daughter is really sick? or $$$$$
He is a scammer also made a fake movie last night  driving down the street  grabbing John and putting a gun to his head   :smt066
 Gabe threatened to kill John with 2 bullets to his head and showed john his gun last night!  on Gabe live   
Its against the law to threaten to kill someone!??

The poor Holloways so sad

Don't beat yourself up too much. You just wanted to find the truth and one piece after another we have collectively ruled out the unscrupulous individuals. Its like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole and one day the right peg will match.
The good part is look how many people came back to SM to find out or help out.
Natalee will never be forgotten and all these good people still come and try to help search for the truth. I think that is a good thing.

Hi Monkeys!

So sorry, I know that some are disappointed. But I'm an old bat, and an old newshound. Take this to the bank: if there is an actual live, breaking development in Natalee's case, we won't hear about it on the likes of the Oxygen channel. (These types of outlets can put together some interesting features about true stories, but they just don't do actual NEWS.)

The only thing I'm curious about is why Dave lent his name to this strung-out ratings-grabber. I guess some money changed hands, but I hope there was something else. Maybe it was to help TJ with a new TV enterprise? Possibly TJ has provided a lot of service to the family over the years, with not much $ in return. I have no problem with the WHY, just curious.

And isn't October gorgeous? Enjoy !!!

My opinion on anything is just that, my opinion.  I've been wrong before, and I'm sure I'll be wrong again! 
That's what I love about this forum, no banana peels thrown for just saying what we think about the information we have at the time.
Something I learned a long time ago the hard way, if they really know what happened, they don't need you to do research for them. 

Yes, it is very sad for Natalee's family.  But I do think even without Gabe and John, Dave would have still been part of an Oxygen series.  It was interesting to me that he never publicly discounted the spy tower theory until they were on their publicity tour for this series.  Doubt they could have stretched that story line out for six episodes though!  I just really hope Robin was satisfied with her segments and the payday so maybe the family won't be involved in anything so disrespectful of Natalee ever again.  JMO

Ok — did anyone watch the series last night?

I did, but was left feeling the same way as I have about the others.  Disgusted.  The bones that are being tested were hidden in a baggie at the bottom of a stone wall somewhere.  That's what Gabe and John supposedly "recovered" when they went back to Aruba by themselves and turned over to Dolph Richardson.  The tests with Beth's mitochondrial DNA didn't show a conclusive match but the forensics guy said he couldn't rule it out either, so they are doing more test from each bone. (I thought they'd previously said the mitochondrial testing would deplete the samples, but maybe I heard wrong.)  They should know the next results by October 6.  There's a segment at the end with Robin and Dave that confirmed my thought that he didn't do this for money for further searches.  Robin's ready for them to stop searching and move on with their lives, so I'm thinking more on the lines that college and sororities are expensive and Natalee has helped them out with that.  Dave said Natalee would say he's done enough.  TJ looked like he'd dyed his eyebrows and mustache for this one.  Good grief.  smh

jmo

I will never doubt your opinion again
I have to admit at first thought it was Natalee
 Then the signs starting with John killing himself scam
Need more money to get to Aruba fast scam
If John dies they we'll never find the bones scam
 So sad for Natalees Family


My opinion on anything is just that, my opinion.  I've been wrong before, and I'm sure I'll be wrong again! 
That's what I love about this forum, no banana peels thrown for just saying what we think about the information we have at the time.
Something I learned a long time ago the hard way, if they really know what happened, they don't need you to do research for them. 

Yes, it is very sad for Natalee's family.  But I do think even without Gabe and John, Dave would have still been part of an Oxygen series.  It was interesting to me that he never publicly discounted the spy tower theory until they were on their publicity tour for this series.  Doubt they could have stretched that story line out for six episodes though!  I just really hope Robin was satisfied with her segments and the payday so maybe the family won't be involved in anything so disrespectful of Natalee ever again.  JMO

Its typical scare tactics. Those nimrods are stupid as they come and that is why some of us see thru their BS. Poor Blonde, you are just an innocent bystander when it comes to these type of unscrupulous individuals and that is why you get sucked in. Although, you are brave for trying.  They are just liars, so don't waste your time. An honest man, shows you his truth and lays it out on the table. These ass wipes have had the same motive all these years. Natalee is most likely at the bottom of the ocean where Kyle found her denim skirt and numerous police officers and individuals were paid off. That is how it works.

I agree with y'all too.  Keep thinking about Tim Miller saying he was told the remains in the cage were male.  If I understood the forensics guy correctly on the Oxygen series that means there was more identifying DNA present in the cage remains than in the bones they tested for the Oxygen series.

Why don't they tell us who was in the cage?  Persistence, it's ironic isn't it?  Justice for Natalee was supposed to be the mission?!!!!  They probably wish monkeys didn't understand the true meaning of that word.

NATALEE HOLLOWAY MINISERIES TRIGGERS LAWSUIT

Natalee Holloway Miniseries Triggers Lawsuit
EXCLUSIVE

Natalee Holloway has been missing for 12 years, and her story is still embroiled in controversy ... a story that has triggered a new lawsuit.
Edward Kramer just filed suit against 2 production companies -- Brian Graden Media and Lipstick -- for allegedly stealing his idea for a miniseries about Holloway's cold case. He says what's worse, he worked for the companies for more than a year without getting as much as a penny.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kramer claims after Lipstick put him in touch with BGM in 2014 to develop the Holloway project, he was tasked with doing a lot of the legwork, like figuring out how to turn it into a miniseries,doing interviews and getting the pitch ready for NBC and Oxygen (which is airing "The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway" this week).
Kramer says when he began asking about compensation, he got the runaround.
He's asking a judge to block the airing of the show.
We've reached out to BGM ... so far, no word back.


 What is this about Edward Kramer didn't he work with Gabe & John as their manager?
Or Something

Ebby Steppach Missing Update: Natalee Holloway Case Lead Investigator Hired By Family
BY SUMAN VARANDANI @SUMAN09 ON 10/11/17 AT 4:09 AM

The lead investigator in the Natalee Holloway case will now help find missing Little Rock teenager Ebby Steppach. Steepach's family hired investigator TJ Ward, who's hoping to shed some light on mysterious disappearance of the teenager two years ago.

Steppach was just 18 years old when she went missing on Oct. 24, 2015. Her car was found about a week later at a west Little Rock park. According to local reports, Steppach’s brother was the last person who spoke with her on the phone, and he told police that she sounded disoriented and lost.

A bounty of $50,000 has been offered for anyone with information about Steppach.

Ward has claimed that it is too early to determine what may have happened to Steppach, but he agrees to take the case to 100 percent.

“I have enough to get started by myself and to go on and if I can build a rapport with law enforcement, then whatever I find will be taken seriously and we are moving forward with this,” he said.

Ward said he knows working with local law enforcement is key in these types of cases.

“I know the rules and I know the rules of engagement and I know what the parameters are and a lot of private investigators that don't have prior experience and don't understand why law enforcement won’t share with them and give them information,” Ward said, according to CBS-affiliated television station THV11. “I know how to get information without ruining any credibility of their case and I will turn it over to them.”

While talking about one of the clues that he wants to pursue in the case, Ward said: "I went out to where her car was found and filtering through some of the information that was found in her car just raises my eyebrows a little bit."

Ward flew to Little Rock to look into Steppach's case after receiving a call from her family.

“I had felt like I had been alone in this fight is looking for my daughter and that's a big load to carry,” Laurie Jernigan said, as two years have passed since her daughter went missing. Jernigan said that with the public support her load is getting lighter.

“I have a bigger voice that is with me,” Jernigan added.

Ebby Steppach News Update: Family Enlists Lead Investigator From Natalee Holloway Case to Help Find Missing Girl

By Jessica Ferrera , Christian Post Contributor | Oct 13, 2017 2:36 PM

 ::snipping3::

Steppach's family, on the other hand, remains hopeful about locating the young girl. Her mother, Laurie Jernigan, confirmed to KATV that they had reached out to Ward. She was nevertheless surprised when she got a call from him sooner than she expected.

Jernigan is positive that whoever is involved in the disappearance of her daughter will be captured in time. She told KATV: "We will find her, and we'll find who's responsible for this. They haven't gotten away with anything. It's just a matter of getting to them."

Meanwhile, it was also confirmed that Ward had already met with detectives from the LRPD to go through documents and pieces of evidence to start his work on the case.

The investigator told the local paper: "I looked into the facts and circumstances around it. They were kind of interesting and a puzzle, and of course there was some issues between the family and law enforcement early on."

As mentioned, Ward is also known for his contributions in the Holloway case. The girl had gone missing during her trip to Aruba to celebrate her high school graduation in 2005. Like Steppach, Holloway was 18 years old when she disappeared.

When Ward was called in to look into the case, he went through the evidence which led the decade-long investigation to an informant named Gabriel that helped shed light on what happened to Holloway despite prime suspect Joran van der Sloot's non-conviction.

Not making any excuses for TJ. No need to do so.

Guys, everyone knows he wanted a TV show for a decade. If some are unhappy that he seems to have used Natalee as a vehicle to achieve those goals - then ok. I get it.

I don't think anyone here was all too keen for the Oxygen docudrama. I didn't watch any of it and it went exactly where I suspected it would. No where.

On this forum no one makes a missing person a trivial matter - this is as serious as it gets. When someone seems to have used a missing person to further their career - that doesn't typically go over too well here. TJ is a guy trying to make a difference - and after all these years he has done a great deal of good. You all know that.

It got Natalee another round of attention and she's not forgotten. Natalee is still out there somewhere. Some day there may be a surprise announcement. That's how you'll know Natalee was found. Hang in there.

Gabriel Madrigal, TJ Ward, And Edward Kramer Connect. How Did They Connect?

Praise to David Lohr for the above article!

We now know that Edward Kramer has the alias of Eliot Benton. We know that Edward Kramer is an agent of TJ Ward.

We know that Edward Kramer negotiated payment for Gabriel Madrigal and John Ludwick.

We know that although Edward Kramer is an alleged predator of young boys, Ward does not believe it to be true. He thinks Kramer is a great guy.

We know that Gabriel Madrigal said the whole "story" began with him calling Dave Holloway.

Then it is reported Dave called Ward.

But when did Edward Kramer begin writing the "story?"

And if the story is the basis of the Oxygen series, then Gabriel Madrigal had to be involved from the time Kramer first started writing the story.

Without Madrigal and John Ludwick, there would be no story, right?

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

Another million dollar question is according to the Oxygen series, Ward told Holloway there was no way the bones could belong to Natalee, but Holloway insisted on testing them.

Why would Ward believe that?

Were the bones never intended to be tested to begin with?

We know they do not belong to Natalee Holloway, but we know they are human.

Just where did those bones really come from? Who had them first? Who started this whole thing? Was Dave Holloway set up?

NATALEE HOLLOWAY MINISERIES TRIGGERS LAWSUIT

Natalee Holloway Miniseries Triggers Lawsuit
EXCLUSIVE

Natalee Holloway has been missing for 12 years, and her story is still embroiled in controversy ... a story that has triggered a new lawsuit.
Edward Kramer just filed suit against 2 production companies -- Brian Graden Media and Lipstick -- for allegedly stealing his idea for a miniseries about Holloway's cold case. He says what's worse, he worked for the companies for more than a year without getting as much as a penny.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kramer claims after Lipstick put him in touch with BGM in 2014 to develop the Holloway project, he was tasked with doing a lot of the legwork, like figuring out how to turn it into a miniseries,doing interviews and getting the pitch ready for NBC and Oxygen (which is airing "The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway" this week).
Kramer says when he began asking about compensation, he got the runaround.
He's asking a judge to block the airing of the show.
We've reached out to BGM ... so far, no word back.

Plaintiff( EDWARD KRAMER)is informed and believes and based thereon alleges that in doing the things alleged herein in this Complaint, Defendants acted with oppression, fraud, malice and ill will toward Plaintiff and in complete disregard of Plaintiff’s right, and with the intent to injure him and cause him damage.
 Defendants have had Mr. Ward and Mr. Holloway as content providers sign written agreements transferring the copyrights to their created content to Defendants, but Plaintiff never signed such an agreement.  Nonetheless, Defendants proceeded to market and sell Plaintiff’s Work knowing all the time that Defendants did not own the copyright to the content prepared by Plaintiff.  In these actions, Defendants completely disregarded the rights of Plaintiff in and to the copyright in the Work. Plaintiff is therefore entitled to punitive damages in the enlightened conscience of the trier of fact.  ::MonkeyEek::

Just when it seemed the Natalee Holloway case couldn’t get more peculiar, HuffPost has uncovered another twist in the teenager’s 2005 disappearance:
Edward Kramer is suing producers of “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,” a TV series that began in August on the Oxygen Network, alleging he is “co-owner, developer and writer,” according to his lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in California. Kramer wants unspecified “just compensation” for his work, plus punitive damages. ::snipping3::

Robyn Gardner’s Sister To Have Human Bone Found In Aruba DNA-Tested
The bone was found during a recent search for Natalee Holloway.


Scientists soon will be able to compare DNA extracted from a human bone, found during an investigation into the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, to missing Maryland native Robyn Gardner.

“I am going to submit my DNA in the next few days to see if there is a match,” Gardner’s sister, Danielle Colson-Unglesbee, told HuffPost.

The human bone was found during the filming of a TV series on the Oxygen network called “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.” The show followed the missing teen’s father and private investigator T.J. Ward while they chased leads in Aruba. ::snipping3::
GM now claims Ludwick told him the bones came from a particular spot in van der Sloot’s yard, before a cement slab was poured in that area sometime in 2005. Madrigal said he’s already provided that and other information to the FBI.


we must have pictures ??

IS THIS A TERRIBLE STUNT BY OXYGEN? NATALEE’S MOTHER HAS SUFFERED SO MUCH AND NOW THIS?
Oxygen has been running a series in which it claims some fragments found might be Natalee Holloway giving Natalee’s mother and friends hope for closure. I had hoped that Oxygen was on to something. Closure is important to the friends and family.
But here is where it becomes a lousy stunt: I think Oxygen could have tested the fragments and gotten the results BEFORE they aired the series and concluded that it was not Natalee. Instead they dragged it out...and planted all sorts of p/r stories about their series in the media as though they had solved it.
Why didn’t they test first? I think I know why. What do you think?
I imagine this is extremely painful for Beth Holloway. I know that Natalee’s Father was part of this series and I don’t know what he was told or not told going into it.
And by the way, don’t say I did the same — I never did this. At all times I was pounding the pavement for facts and traveled from Aruba to Thailand to Peru chasing the facts. If I had had bone fragments like Oxygen says it did, I would have tested the bone fragments FIRST before putting on a big series like Oxygen did and of course, creating that false hope.
One other thing....I continue to work on this story. I still think it can be solved.

Yes, it has been mentioned here a lot over the years.  I'm sure if they didn't find it for themselves, someone helped them out with "research".

He took an Alford plea from what I've read to some of the charges.  I've started trying to study it and put the pieces in order a few times, but keep walking away from it.  It just makes me sick!

Looks like he definitely played the system to his advantage though imo.   ::MonkeyNoNo:: ::MonkeyMad::
I've wondered how his victims lives have been while he drug this out for so many years.   ::MonkeyTears::  ::MonkeyNoNo::

  ::snipping3::    In the Oxygen series, Ludwick said he helped dig up and dispose of Holloway’s remains years after her death. It was Ludwick and Madrigal who provided four bone fragments to authorities. Of them, only one was human. The other three were found to be animal bones. It’s unclear where the bones originated.

During the TV series, Madrigal said Ludwick told him several stories, including one that indicated the remains had been buried in an Aruban pet cemetery.

When Holloway was ruled out as a match, Internet sleuths were quick to point out similarities between the pet cemetery story and a report about Gardner’s death. That report surfaced in an October 2011 article by The National Enquirer, which claimed authorities received “an anonymous but credible phone tip” that she was buried in a dog’s grave.

While the similarities in the two stories are undeniable, it’s just as likely that Ludwick was aware of The National Enquirer story.

In the event the bone does belong to Gardner, authorities will be very interested in speaking with Ludwick and Madrigal, according to Ward.

“If those remains come back and [are] linked to Robyn Gardner and they were in their hands … I guarantee the FBI will snatch ’em up,” Ward told HuffPost last week.


FACEBOOK
Contacted by HuffPost on Thursday, Madrigal said he’s not concerned with Ward or the FBI.

“There is a catch to all this,” he said. “Nobody knows this because they’re all too f***ing stupid to listen. Yes, [Ward] is a private investigator, but he don’t know his ass from his face. Does he know where the bones came from? No. Did he bother to ask? No. If he had a f***ing clue he would know all this shit.”

Madrigal now claims Ludwick told him the bones came from a particular spot in van der Sloot’s yard, before a cement slab was poured in that area sometime in 2005. Madrigal said he’s already provided that and other information to the FBI.
“The FBI knows everything I do – every move,” Madrigal said. “The only thing the FBI has said is, ‘Gabriel, you’re f***ing crazy.’ But I believe I’m going to find her. [Ludwick] gave me a lot of hints. He gave me 12 clues. I put the clues together and I know. I’m going to do this. I won’t quit.”


While the TV series appears to have created more drama than it did actual evidence as to Holloway’s whereabouts, Gardner’s sister is hoping it will ultimately lead to answers in her sister’s case.

“I have hope that this may be Robyn’s remains and that my family can find closure,” Colson-Unglesbee told HuffPost. “I think about Robyn every day and will continue to think about my memories of her for the rest of my life.”

What a great campaign kickoff by United Way of Baldwin County, Alabama. Beth Holloway was an incredible speaker. It was heartbreaking to hear her story of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba and all she went through. Her message of hope and how a community coming together to overcome adversity and make something positive of a difficult situation was inspiring.

I haven't figured out exactly what the relationship is, but Mary Ellen Walter is connected to Jaime Ligna.
They have a mutual address in Va. (it's in her name, I think it may have been her mother's home), and "his house" in Aruba looks a lot like what I recall of hers from what I recall from the series (I haven't gone back through the episodes to try to find it again).
I've seen some references of her being aka Mary Ellen Ligna, but nothing to confirm if she was ever married to a Ligna or not...yet.

Coastal Ridge Realty Launches Website for Aruba Real Estate
    
Coastal Ridge Realty's mission is to provide a better service to the Aruba real estate market.

Coastal Ridge Realty
ARUBA (VOCUS) FEBRUARY 20, 2009
After studying and evaluating the real estate market in Aruba over a two and a half year period of time, in 2007 the company was established to provide opportunities to sell, buy, or rent property on the beautiful island of Aruba located in the Dutch Caribbean. Coastal Ridge Realty's mission is to provide a better service to the Aruba real estate market.
This vision to expand into real estate in Aruba was originated by Jaime Ligna, a former Vice President of Real Estate Sales and Lending with a major banking institution in the United States, who has more than 15 years experience in this industry. He opened this Aruba real estate company to help investors allocate and expand their investment opportunities abroad by acquiring both property and land in Aruba as well as various residential development projects on the island. In addition, he will also help you through Coastal Ridge Realty to obtain your little piece of Aruba that you have always desired.
This Caribbean island attracts many visitors yearly who first come to Aruba for its unique climate, beautiful pristine white beaches, friendly people, and the security which Aruba offers. Therefore, the market for Aruba real estate is very affordable for most travelers as many of them are repeat visitors who are now either living in Aruba or moving to Aruba.
Coastal Ridge Realty strives to provide service to meet the real estate needs of both the foreign and local markets in order to best sell, buy, or rent their houses or to purchase property land in Aruba. The primary market focuses on international clientele who often purchase vacation homes or property land for building their own dream home here in Aruba.
Coastal Ridge Realty also offers the expertise of an Aruban-based, commercial construction company with over 15 years of experience as a general contractor, construction manager and design builder to assist your real estate needs. Their specialties include interior and exterior renovations, remodeling, building additions and ground up construction of new buildings and houses.
Coastal Ridge Realty is located at Palm Beach in Aruba. Conveniently, it is within walking distance from the major high-rise hotels, pristine beaches, variety of restaurants and shopping. A fairly new shopping center called Paseo Herencia is nearby which offers cinemas, TGIF Friday, Moby Dick restaurant, A Taste of Belgium Café, and a variety of specialty shops. Also the brand new South Beach Centre has just completed construction with the Hard Rock Café Aruba already open but soon to open will be Carvel Ice Cream and Cinnabon. Several restaurants are already in operation to suit to your every taste from Seafood, Steaks, Italian, Mexican and much more.
Whether you are looking for waterfront property or perhaps a scenic view of the island of Aruba, Coastal Ridge Realty is here to service you so you can relax and enjoy your home away from home here in the Caribbean. Better yet you can just come to Aruba and stay. Our real estate agents are multi-lingual and can speak the following languages: English, Dutch, Spanish, French, German, and Papiamento.
ARUBA is one Happy Island in the Caribbean! For anyone looking for real estate in Aruba, Coastal Ridge Realty is happy to assist.

I haven't figured out exactly what the relationship is, but Mary Ellen Walter is connected to Jaime Ligna.
They have a mutual address in Va. (it's in her name, I think it may have been her mother's home), and "his house" in Aruba looks a lot like what I recall of hers from what I recall from the series (I haven't gone back through the episodes to try to find it again).
I've seen some references of her being aka Mary Ellen Ligna, but nothing to confirm if she was ever married to a Ligna or not...yet.

SISTER OF MISSING WOMAN ROBYN GARDNER THINKS HUMAN BONE FOUND IN NATALEE HOLLOWAY SEARCH COULD BE HERS
A human bone found in Aruba during an investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway was tested and does not belong to the 18-year-old who went missing in 2005 -- but a new DNA test may link the bone to missing Maryland woman Robyn Gardner.

Gardner’s sister, Danielle Colson-Unglesbee, said she will be submitting her DNA for tests to determine if the bone could be a match for Gardner. "I'm going to submit my DNA in the next few days to see if there's a match," she told Huffington Post.

The bone belongs to “a single individual” believed to be “a Caucasian European,” according to a former forensic laboratory director Jason Kolowski.



Gardner was 35 years old when she went missing in 2011 on vacation with a man she met through an online dating site, People reports. He told police Gardner was swept away by a strong current while they were snorkeling together.

She is one of four Americans to go missing in the Caribbean in recent years, according to the Huffington Post. Her body was never found, and no arrests have been made. Many similarities exist between Holloway’s case and Gardner's. Both were American women who disappeared mysteriously in the same small town in Aruba.

Holloway was 18 years old when she went on vacation in the Caribbean, where she was celebrating her high school graduation with friends. There, she met a man named Joran van der Sloot, who was later questioned by police for possible involvement in her disappearance but was released due to a lack of evidence. She grew up in Mountain Brook, Alabama and has been missing since 2005. ::snipping3::

Robyn Gardner’s Sister To Have Human Bone Found In Aruba DNA-Tested
The bone was found during a recent search for Natalee Holloway.


By David Lohr


Robyn Gardner has been missing in Aruba since August 2011.
230
Scientists soon will be able to compare DNA extracted from a human bone, found during an investigation into the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, to missing Maryland native Robyn Gardner.
“I am going to submit my DNA in the next few days to see if there is a match,” Gardner’s sister, Danielle Colson-Unglesbee, told HuffPost.
The human bone was found during the filming of a TV series on the Oxygen network called “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.” The show followed the missing teen’s father and private investigator T.J. Ward while they chased leads in Aruba.
Earlier this month, DNA testing ruled out the bone being Holloway’s.
“It is a single individual [to] whom we believe there is a Caucasian European ethnicity attached,” Jason Kolowski, a former forensic laboratory director of the D.C. Department of Forensic Sciences, told HuffPost.

Gardner is one of at least four Americans who have gone missing on the Caribbean island in recent years.
People have long drawn comparisons between the cases of Gardner and Holloway. The American tourists both vanished from the same small town in Aruba.
Holloway, 18, from Mountain Brook, Alabama, disappeared on May 30, 2005, while celebrating her high school graduation with classmates in Aruba. ::snipping3::
Gardner, of Bethesda, Maryland, was last seen on Aug. 2, 2011, at an Oranjestad resort and casino. The 35-year-old had been traveling with Gary Giordano, then 50, who she’d reportedly met through an online dating website. Giordano, a Maryland businessman, told police they were snorkeling in the typically tranquil waters off Baby Beach when Gardner was swept away by strong currents.


A photo of Gary Giordano that was released by the Aruban authorities on Aug. 11, 2011.
Neither woman’s body has been found and no arrests have been made in connection with their disappearances.
Van der Sloot, who was named a suspect in the Holloway case, is behind bars in Peru, where he is serving a 28-year prison sentence for the 2010 murder of 21-year-old Peruvian business student Stephany Flores Ramírez.
Giordano, who has always maintained his innocence, was initially held in Aruba on suspicion of involvement in Gardner’s presumed death. He was later released due to a lack of evidence.
The bone found during the filming of “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway” was discovered by an “informant,” and John Ludwick, a friend of van der Sloot, according to the TV series. ::snipping3::




In the Oxygen series, Ludwick said he helped dig up and dispose of Holloway’s remains years after her death. It was Ludwick and the informant who provided four bone fragments to authorities. Of them, only one was human. The other three were found to be animal bones. It’s unclear where the bones originated.

During the TV series, the informant said Ludwick told him several stories, including one that indicated the remains had been buried in an Aruban pet cemetery.

When Holloway was ruled out as a match, Internet sleuths were quick to point out similarities between the pet cemetery story and a report about Gardner’s death. That report surfaced in an October 2011 article by The National Enquirer, which claimed authorities received “an anonymous but credible phone tip” that she was buried in a dog’s grave.
While the similarities in the two stories are undeniable, it’s just as likely that Ludwick was aware of The National Enquirer story.
In the event the bone does belong to Gardner, authorities will be very interested in speaking with Ludwick and Madrigal, according to Ward.

If those remains come back and [are] linked to Robyn Gardner and they were in their hands … I guarantee the FBI will snatch ’em up,” Ward told HuffPost last week.


Contacted by HuffPost on Thursday, Madrigal said he’s not concerned with Ward or the FBI.
“There is a catch to all this,” he said. “Nobody knows this because they’re all too f**king stupid to listen. Yes, [Ward] is a private investigator, but he don’t know his ass from his face. Does he know where the bones came from? No. Did he bother to ask? No. If he had a f**king clue he would know all this shit.”
 the informant now claims Ludwick told him the bones came from a particular spot in van der Sloot’s yard, before a cement slab was poured in that area sometime in 2005. the informant said he’s already provided that and other information to the FBI.
 

 
  No way Robyns bones can be in the van der Sloot’s yard, She wasn't dead in 2005

Dear all.
Just a little FYI/update.
I am currently back at work! I had decided not to go back to work after the newspaper was declared bankrupt until mom were strong again. Unfortunately, mom left us on Dec. 4.
I had three interesting conversations in one day a few days later and I decided to take on a new challenge. In this day and age, when available jobs are few I think that mom must have had her say in this from "way up there".
I have joined the ARUBA DAILY team (sister newspaper to Diario, Aruba's largest Papiamento language newspaper).
The Aruba Daily has a WHOLE NEW LOOK and an enthusiastic, dynamic team!
I would love your suggestions and remarks, positive and negative by private message... or by email (I can give you if you Private Message me).
Big hug,

Natalee Missing 150 Months
30 May 2005 - 30 Nov 2017

Today represents 150 months since Natalee disappeared. She was last seen in the early morning hours of May 30, 2005 and to this day not a single item of hers or piece of evidence has been found that would determine what happened to her - she has vanished without a trace.

Many have moved on due to the passage of time but we have not and will not until the answers and Natalee have been found. The reason we will not give up is that our hearts have been deeply touched by one young woman - a young woman that we only know by images we have seen of her and from words spoken by those who know her and love her. The place she has within our hearts can not and will not ever be replaced. Natalee has been missing for many months but she is not forgotten. Her spirit lives within us, forever in our hearts.

What is important now is for us to remember three things:
~ We did not come into this to only come part-way. If we are truly sincere and committed to it, then we're going to commit to it all the way and that 'all the way' means until Natalee is brought back home.
~ Heroes are ones who never quit! Heroes stand their ground in the face of all odds and continue. Natalee and her families need a hero and we have to try our best to be that Hero.
~ We must hold true to our beliefs and we must remember that everything happens for a reason. We may never know why something such as this happens, but we have to believe that we will find out when we are meant to know.

We will move forward once again into a new month with the fervent hope that our prayers will be answered and Natalee will be found and returned home.

Missing Girl’s Mom Sues Oxygen Network for $35 Million
February 5, 2018 DANIEL JACKSON

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (CN) – The mother of Natalee Holloway, the Alabama girl who disappeared in Aruba in 2005 during a high school graduation trip, filed a $35 million lawsuit over Oxygen’s six-part series about Natalee’s father searching for her remains, calling the show “a pre-planned farce.”

Beth Holloway, who lives in Jefferson County, Alabama, alleges in her complaint filed Friday in Birmingham federal court that she was misled into providing her DNA to compare to bone fragments found in Aruba.

She sued Oxygen Media and Brian Graden Media over the show “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,” which aired last year.

Claiming fraudulent misrepresentation, Holloway seeks $10 million in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages. She is represented by Atlanta attorney L. Lin Wood and Alabama attorney Elizabeth Littell Courson with Beasley Allen.

The complaint also states that Holloway suffered emotional distress because she watched the show hoping to learn news of her daughter, but instead had to endure gruesome descriptions of what happened to Natalee, which the mother says are false.

Natalee Holloway's mom sues NBC's Oxygen over claims series found her daughter's remains


Natalee Holloway's mom is suing Oxygen Media saying the network used false pretenses to get a sample of her DNA. In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Beth Holloway claims the NBC-owned channel told her that people associated with a docuseries about her daughter discovered what they believed were Natalee ... ::snipping3::



Her mother states she believed the show had found her daughter's remains and therefore gave Oxygen a saliva sample. However, the skeletal remains did not end up belonging to Natalee.
  ::snipping3::


Her mother claims in the lawsuit that Oxygen lied to her and that she would never have participated in the series or provided DNA sample if she had known the truth.

A rep for Oxygen did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment.

written in advance, according to a lawsuit filed by the Series’ creator. The Series was not a realtime
or legitimate investigation into new leads, and Defendants’ purported discovery of
Natalee’s remains was not spontaneous. Rather, the Series was a pre-planned farce, and its
publication was outrageous.

8. Defendants did not disclose to Beth the existence of the Series until she
discovered it for herself when Defendants’ paid participants began their public relations and
marketing campaign days before the Series aired. Claiming to have been searching for Natalee
for years, Defendants did not disclose their involvement even as they sought and obtained
through Dave Holloway, Natalee’s father, Beth’s DNA to test against what they claimed were
“human female remains.” As agonizing weeks passed, Beth was forced to watch – along with
the rest of the world – episode after episode, headline after headline, to discover what horrors
had befallen her daughter, while Defendants used Beth’s DNA on their farcical show without her
permission and under the guise of conducting a legitimate search for Natalee.

9. The impact of Defendants’ deceit on Beth was profound. Through their claims
directly to Beth, through their Series, and through their media publications, Beth truly believed
Defendants had found Natalee but she was forced to wait nearly two months to discover the
truth, and even longer to discover that her suffering was consciously and wrongfully inflicted
and that Defendants’ Series was a hoax. In Beth’s own words, having to wait without knowing
what would happen next while Defendants repeatedly proclaimed what heinous acts had been
visited upon Natalee and her body “completely and utterly destroyed me.”

10. Accordingly, this Complaint is brought against Defendants for their publication of
gruesome and consciously false descriptions and images of the manner in which Natalee died
and the desecration of Natalee’s remains, and for their fraudulent involvement of Beth by
obtaining her DNA under false pretenses. Defendants’ conduct is so extreme and outrageous as
to go beyond all bounds of decency and is not to be tolerated in a civilized society.

Oxygen Media Defends Series about Missing Teen Natalee Holloway
Posted: Feb 7, 2018 3:30 PM CST
by Alabama News Network Staff

Oxygen Media is defending itself against a $35 million lawsuit filed by the mother of an American teenager who disappeared in Aruba in 2005.

A company representative says in a statement that Beth Holloway’s lawsuit gives an “inaccurate depiction” of the 2017 series “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.”

The Alabama teen hasn’t been seen since vanishing during a graduation trip to the island nation with friends. A man long suspected of killing her is imprisoned in the death of another young woman in Peru.

Beth Holloway’s lawsuit contends the TV show was a fake documentary that included a mystery about bone fragments that producers knew weren’t linked to the case.

The Oxygen statement says the show followed the search by Natalee’s father Dave Holloway for answers about his daughter.

note: Dave Holloway has only once asked for any information from me that was complied by The Freebirds. And even then he told me he didn't have a computer that had the ability to download it. No questions, no follow-up whatsoever.  Not that I care, it's his daughter, his responsibility, but it always struck me as odd and
supported my gut feeling that I trusted Beth and that is why I corresponded and gave her everything.

If I were the parents of Natalee, I would do an online website to post/chat with everyone and anyone who has been involved since the beginning instead of going along with these blatant media liars and all of us know who the online liars are and I'd start picking out the information because several of us all have pieces of the pie that they could piece together. Unless anyone can prove otherwise, I will stand by what the Freebirds were shown and exposed. (but that is just me).

Natalee Holloway's dad defends controversial NBC series following ex-wife's $35M lawsuit
By Stephanie Nolasco   | Fox News

Natalee Holloway’s father is denying his ex-wife’s claims that a TV show he participated in about their missing daughter was scripted.

Dave Holloway, an insurance agent in Meridian, Mississippi, was involved in last year’s six-part docu-series titled “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway” that aired on NBC’s Oxygen Media.

The show, produced by Los Angeles-based Brian Graden Media, aimed to present an accurate representation of the Alabama-based teen’s journey to Aruba to check a possible lead about her disappearance, claimed Dave.

However, his ex-wife Beth Holloway filed a $35 million federal lawsuit earlier this week against Oxygen Media and Brian Graden Media, calling the show a fake documentary. Beth claimed the series wrongly raised her hopes about finding out what happened during Holloway's ill-fated trip.

For the series, Dave traveled to Aruba with private investigator T.J. Ward for 18 months to search for Holloway’s remains.

Holloway went missing in Aruba in 2005 during a senior trip to the island. A judge declared her dead in 2012. Beth and Dave Holloway divorced in 1993, long before their daughter vanished.

“I am proud of the work and depiction of the show, and even though it wasn’t the outcome we had all hoped for, I am glad the world was able to get an inside look of what any father would do if there was even the slightest chance of finding his missing child,” Holloway said in a release Friday.

Beth also added in the lawsuit she believed the show had found her daughter’s remains and therefore gave Oxygen a saliva sample. However, the skeletal remains did not end up belonging to Natalee.

In fact, only one out of the four bone samples found and tested were human remains.

A rep for Oxygen told Fox News they were "disappointed to learn of the complaint and its inaccurate depiction of how the series was produced, and we want to reiterate our deep compassion and sympathy for all members of the Holloway family."

Their statement continued, "The documentary series was developed by a production company in close collaboration with Dave Holloway and his long-time private investigator. The show followed his continued search to find answers about his daughter Natalee from a lead he had received. We had hoped, along with Mr. Holloway, that the information was going to provide closure."

Dave spoke to Fox News in August 2017 while awaiting the DNA test results. Dave admitted at the time he was not optimistic it would yield answers.

"We’ve chased a lot of leads and you have your hopes up, but when they fall through, you basically go to a funeral. Over and over again," he explained. "So you have a wall built up, which I do, and so you just wait and see and try not to think about it. And that’s the only way I can cope with it. I’m sure when that day comes very soon I’ll probably be disappointed once again, if it’s not [Natalee's]."

Joran Van der Sloot, a Dutch national, has long been considered a suspect in the case.
In the Oxygen series, Dave met with “an informant who was friends with an individual who had personal knowledge from Joran van der Sloot."

Van der Sloot is currently in a Peruvian prison serving a 28-year sentence for killing business student Stephany Flores. Flores was killed just five years after Natalee Holloway vanished.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I still can't believe Dave got sucked into this Oxygen farce. I mean, has not the usual been to turn it over to T.J. or John Kelly for investigation?

This seems to show an extremely wide rift between Beth and Dave.

They must be so weary ...

Natalee Missing 152 Months
30 May 2005 - 30 January 2018

Today Natalee has been missing for 152 months.

Many of us here have been together since the beginning with others joining us along the way. It has been said that it what makes you remember someone forever is not necessarily what that person does or says, but the impact they have on you.

If you recall all the sites that were created at the beginning and look at which ones are still active you will see that there are only a few that have remained true to it's purpose. We have been challenged by others and many attempts have been made to drive us away from our purpose, but we have remained strong and united and have not lost our focus.

Forums and Facebook pages were created in the name of and for the love of a young woman who, through no fault of her own, was removed from a loving family and a multitude of friends and what happened to her or where she may be is still unknown. All those years of hard work along with dreams and hopes for the future have, for now, been reduced to memories of Natalee by ones who have no care about her life or the lives and feeling of those that love her.

Our purpose to be the Guardians of Hope for Natalee must remain true for if we fail in our purpose we have failed Natalee.

This video, Natalee Holloway - A Life To Remember, uploaded by dshep47 on Nov 14, 2010 is one of the best tributes to Natalee. I know I have posted it before but it just confirms why we must continue in our purpose.

Natalee Holloway’s Mother Sues Oxygen Over ‘Reckless’ TV Series
Beth Holloway claims she was “utterly destroyed” by “heinous” and “false” statements about her missing daughter.

By David Lohr
The mother of Natalee Holloway is suing Oxygen Media, claiming its 2017 television series about her daughter’s disappearance in Aruba was a fictional “farce” that caused unnecessary suffering.

Beth Holloway said in the lawsuit filed on Feb. 2 that the NBC-owned network and the Los Angeles-based production company Brian Graden Media made “knowingly false declarations” about her daughter’s disappearance.

The six-part series, “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,” was misleading in the airing of unconfirmed allegations and in claiming bone fragments purportedly found on Aruba could belong to her daughter, the suit alleges.

“The series was not a real-time or legitimate investigation into new leads,” according to the lawsuit. “The series was a pre-planned farce and its publication was outrageous.”

 ::snipping3::

Oxygen promoted the series as “the latest and, perhaps, final chapter of the decade-long pursuit to uncover what really happened to Natalee.” It wasn’t.

In the days leading up to the Aug. 19, 2017, premiere, Natalee Holloway’s father, Dave Holloway, and private investigator T.J. Ward, announced the discovery of bone fragments.

“They are in the testing process,” Dave Holloway told HuffPost on Aug. 16, 2017. “It’s a reputable lab and that’s all I can tell you at this point.”

Ward said the discovery was the culmination of an 18-month investigation.

“It’s viable information,” Ward told HuffPost.

The claims brought denials from Aruba Public Prosecutor Dorean Kardol, who told HuffPost “no human remains” were found.

“During an investigation by police in an area indicated by Mr. Holloway, we found remains, but they were found to be from animals,” Kardol said.

The FBI told HuffPost they were unable to locate records of human remains being brought into the U.S. from Aruba in connection with the Natalee Holloway case.

The centerpiece of the Oxygen series was a man named John Ludwick, who has long claimed to be a close friend of Joran van der Sloot, who in 2005 was a 17-year-old Dutch honors student living in Aruba. Natalee Holloway’s classmates said they last saw her leaving a nightclub with van der Sloot before she vanished. Police repeatedly questioned him about the girl’s disappearance.

Ludwick, in the Oxygen series, told multiple fanciful stories about what had supposedly happened to Holloway and claimed he helped dig up and dispose of her remains years after her death. At one point in the Oxygen series, Ludwick pointed out bone fragments hidden in Aruba that supposedly belonged to Natalee Holloway.

The lawsuit filed by Beth Holloway contends she was not involved in the Oxygen series. As a result, in an effort to determine if anything new was actually uncovered, she had to watch the TV series. In doing so, she had to listen to claims that her daughter had been “drugged, raped, killed” and, according to Ludwick, that Natalee Holloway’s bones were ultimately exhumed, “crushed” and cremated.

Enduring the “heinous acts” portrayed in the Oxygen series “completely and utterly destroyed me,” Beth Holloway said, according to the lawsuit.

 ::snipping3::

The Oxygen series concluded on Sept. 23, 2017, without divulging the results of the DNA testing on the bone fragments, saying the results were inconclusive. The results, which showed Natalee Holloway was not a match, were not released until Oct. 2 on Oxygen.com.

Beth Holloway said evidence exists showing the results were in fact known prior to the airing of the final episode.

“In truth, despite their representations ... defendants knew prior to concluding their Series that the Bone Fragments did not belong to Natalee,” the suit claims.


Beth Holloway’s lawsuit is not the first to be filed in connection with the Oxygen series. It’s also not the first time the credibility of the program has been questioned. HuffPost last year published several stories about the series, which raised troubling questions.

In early October 2017, HuffPost discovered sex offender Edward Kramer is claiming responsibility for the Oxygen series. 

 ::snipping3::

Kramer, according to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in California against Brian Graden Media and production company Lipstick Inc., claims he is “co-owner, developer and writer” of the Oxygen series. Kramer seeks unspecified “just compensation” for his work, plus punitive damages.

The two production companies said in a response that Kramer was an “employee or agent of T.J. Ward.”

Ward told HuffPost that Kramer indeed helped develop the Oxygen program.

“They relied on him for information and promised him certain things,” Ward said.

That same month, a man who identified himself as Eliot Benton told HuffPost he could arrange for Ludwick and Gabriel Madrigal, a man described in the Oxygen series as an “informant,” to reveal the actual location of Natalee Holloway’s remains.

“If the Huffington Post were interested, I’m pretty sure it could be arraigned,” Benton said. “If you came up with like $5,000 [and gave] $2,500 to Gabriel and $2,500 to John, that would probably cover it.”

The $5,000, Benton said, would be in addition to any travel expenses the men would incur in revealing the location of the bones. HuffPost does not pay for interviews and information.

Ward later added another twist to the developments: He said Benton doesn’t exist ― and Benton is really Edward Kramer.

He uses “his middle name and the [last name of a] girl he was living with,” Ward told HuffPost.

Ward said he was aware that Kramer is a registered sex offender and that Kramer had used the name Benton as an alias in press releases about Ward.

It’s unclear if Natalee Holloway’s father was aware that a registered sex offender was purportedly involved in the production of the Oxygen series.

 ::snipping3::

While the show failed to provide the Holloway family closure, it did enrich some of the participants, according to Beth Holloway’s lawsuit. She is seeking $35 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

I don't know what to say. We have gone down every rabbit hole that has come up since day one. I have always been skeptical that we were finally going to hit on something real and substantial, but I am the eternal optimist that one of these days we are going to hit on something. That said, I think I am at a new low. Dave has chased so many far fetched leads (I truly don't fault him - I know in my heart he is sincere) but in doing so, he has alienated Beth and anyhope of anyone trusting anybody. It is going to take a revelation from someone other than the family to solve this now. I'm with Kermit, the people that truly knew everything about the case as well as ANYONE, was the Freebirds, and there is no one to go back to them other than the FBI. (I may be totally off-base, but I think Kermit had such connections and can't divulge what he/she knows.) I may be completely mis-guided, but I think the case still hangs in the balance of what really happened with the Persistance.

At about 15 minutes in Gabriel Madrigal shows what is supposed to be a wild boar skull, and says that's where the bones that were tested came from.  If I understand correctly, he says John dug the skull up from the back yard in Florida and took them to Aruba in the waistband of his shorts for them to find. Edit to add, I had a few things wrong, the skull was not buried, and John supposedly hid the bones in a shaving kit for the flight and then in his shorts when he and Gabe went to dig them up, and he supposedly somehow dropped them in without Gabe noticing for them to find.

He also gives another disgusting version of how Joran and John supposedly disposed of Natalee's remains at about 34 minutes in.  I don't believe a word of it, just another lie imo.

You don't even have to watch the videos to see the pattern that's obvious just from the descriptions.  John takes bits and pieces from all the years of commentary on Natalee's case and creates lies that include himself all for money.  I still don't believe he knew Joran in 2005, and don't believe he has ANY knowledge about what really happened to Natalee.  I'll never believe Joran was still disposing of remains five years after the fact.  jmo

Gabe acts like he's being honest Gabe, but then continues the saga with more of John's lies. There's a box with Natalee's belongings, there's pictures from that night, blah blah blah. 

Apparently they'll say anything for another pay day and all expense paid trip to Aruba!   ::MonkeyRoll:: ::MonkeyNoNo::

Sex Offender Claims Responsibility For Natalee Holloway TV Series
A California lawsuit adds a new twist to a mystery wreaked by false leads and fabricated confessions.

By David Lohr

 ::snipping3::

Quote
In an effort to answer those questions, HuffPost reached out to Ludwick and Madrigal this month. Ludwick did not respond. Madrigal claimed he knows where Holloway’s remains are and will reveal the location if he is compensated. He directed further inquiries to Eliot Benton, who he identified as his manager.

“If the Huffington Post were interested, I’m pretty sure it could be arraigned,” Benton said. “If you came up with like $5,000 [and gave] $2,500 to Gabriel and $2,500 to John, that would probably cover it.”

That $5,000, Benton clarified in a follow-up text message, would be in addition to any travel expenses for the men. HuffPost does not pay for interviews.

Ward later added another twist to the developments: He said Benton doesn’t exist ― and Benton is really Edward E. Kramer.

He uses “his middle name and the [last name of a] girl he was living with,” Ward told HuffPost.

Asked about Kramer acting as Madrigal’s manager, Ward said, “That’s news to me.”

Ward said he is aware that Kramer is a registered sex offender and that Kramer has used the name Benton as an alias in press releases about Ward.


Good points about the dna guy too.  Looking for a big payday before retirement or something?  I don't know.  Can't imagine why anyone would risk their reputation with this mess.

Google translation:
 
In Aruba everyone knows where the body of Natalee Holloway is

Where did Joran van der Sloot dump the body of Natalee Holloway? Crime journalist Hendrik Jan Korterink was for Nieuwe Revu in the Antilles, and always got the same answer.
 
On Sunday evening, May 29, 2005 at around 9.30 PM, Natalee meets Joran van der Sloot, a regular guest at the poker table at the Excelsior casino. She is together with four friends. They ask if he will go to Carlos'n Charlie's, a bar in the Weststraat in the center of Oranjestad, about 7 kilometers away. The girls have already been there during the day and then drank a lot. "It's our last night in Aruba," they say invitingly. They want a splashing farewell to the island, where everything is so different from the good Alabama. Joran does have an ear to it, even though he has to leave early the next morning, because of an exam. But he's going home first. He is in the casino with his father. Father Paul wanted to know how that went, that poker.

While his father thinks that Joran is in bed, Joran calls his Surinamese friend, Deepak Kalpoe, to pick him up. Deepak comes to ride a while later, with his pimped Honda Civic, along with his little brother Satish. They drive to Carlos'n Charlie's and arrive around 00.30. Natalee and her friends have been there for a few hours. DJ Martin had welcomed ' all the people from Alabama ' and played Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd. When Joran comes in, Natalee is dancing. When she sees him, she orders a body shot. She is lying on the bar, Joran is allowed to lick the shot of her belly.

Carlos'n Charlie's closes at 1 am. Natalee gets into the Deepak car with Joran. They drive past the bus stop where the other students are. A boy shouts: "Come out of that car, have you gone mad?" Natalee screams from the window with a smile: ' Woohoo, I stay with him ... I love Aruba! 'These are Natalee's last verifiable words, outside of her conversation with Joran.

In fact, very little is known about what happened that night. Joran told Patrick van der Eem that he and a third, whose name he would never mention, had the body of Natalee disappear. Did Joran talk about his father, or about an unknown friend or acquaintance? You can think of everything about it, but you can assume that if his father had been in rope that night, his mother would have to have had something of it. That is as unlikely as Joran did on his own. His father is now deceased, we will no longer receive an answer from him. If he has indeed not been there, besides Joran there must be one person who knows what happened on Aruba that night, but the chance that one of them will tell is small.

What are the options to make a body disappear into the nocturnal dark of Aruba as unnoticed as possible? You can think of the rugged coast at San Nicolas. At the container port, at the dog cemetery, at the prison. A fairly deserted area, where you can dump a body in the rock gorges. Maybe in the water, but the chances are that something will wash ashore on one of the beaches. There is only one thing that you can virtually exclude: burial. There is no place to be found on the mainland of Aruba where you can dig a sufficiently deep grave to stop someone inside with only a few shovels. The soil is rock hard. Un-begun work. On a sandy beach then? No one who is at home on the island will mind that. Then you have to dig an impossible deep hole and even then the chance of it being discovered in no time is life-size. As unlikely as buried in the rock bottom.

There is really only one option: with a boat to Venezuela. After a few kilometers you will get to a kind of wave stream, which will drag everything that ends up into the ocean. Fishermen and other Aruban sailors know that. If Joran has been helped by such a person - and that is most likely - it has gone like this. Tourists on Aruba and the other islands do not have to be afraid of sharks. Further on in the ocean it is a different story. It is not a pleasant idea for the next of kin, but the people who know the Caribbean Sea have little doubt whether this is what has happened. That Natalee literally and purposefully went to the sharks.

Natalee Holloway: the last night in Aruba
 Hendrik Jan Korterink  February 23, 2018    0 Comments

In December I spent a few days in Aruba. The island where Natalee Holloway disappeared without a trace. A matter that I have followed closely, but not very closely: too far away. I have made a kind of 'Natalee Memorial Tour' together with people who are well known on the spot. The route that she followed that night of her fatal encounter with Joran van der Sloot.

John Christopher Ludwick, 32, of Port Charlotte tried to kidnap a woman he knew just before 7 a.m. as she exited her vehicle in her driveway in the 4300 block of Wesley Lane, the North Port Police Department said.
Police said a struggle ensued, and Ludwick tried to push her over and take her in her own car.
“Every indication we have now, she was the victim potentially fighting for her life,” NPD spokesman Josh Taylor told SNN-TV. “She wasn’t having it.”
The woman took a knife from Ludwick during the struggle and stabbed him. He ran from the scene, and Taylor said the police department received calls about a man injured on South Biscayne Drive.
Ludwick, who previously had a relationship with the woman she no longer wanted, was upset, Taylor said. Ludwick was taken by helicopter to a local hospital where he died Wednesday morning.

The death of John Ludwick

Authorities looking into self-defense killing of man who claimed connection to Natalee Holloway

By Scott Lawson
North Port Editor

NORTH PORT — Authorities are piecing together details into the life — and death — of John Ludwick, who was killed in self-defense by a North Port woman early Wednesday.

After apparently attempting to kidnap a woman while she was getting out of her car, Ludwick, 32, of Port Charlotte, was stabbed with his own knife and wandered for about four blocks before he died.

 ::snipping3::

While that case remains unsolved, North Port Police said Thursday an autopsy conducted is consistent with their initial understanding of Ludwick’s apparent attempt to kidnap the woman and her grabbing his knife, ultimately stabbing him in the torso area.

“Everything is still ‘very consistent’ — to use our officer’s words — with her details of how it went down. She happened to catch him right in an artery,” North Port Police spokesman Josh Taylor said.

Toxicology is not complete on the autopsy and won’t be available for several months, Taylor said.

Witnesses also confirm statements made by the victim and others in the home in the 4300 block of Wesley Lane, he said.

A full story is online at northportsun.com and will appear in Thursday's edition of The Sun.

FACT NEWS: Since we were called to the scene, the North Port Police Department has worked diligently to gather FACTS and EVIDENCE surrounding the John Ludwick stabbing and death. This includes immediate interviews, crime scene forensics, independent first hand witnesses, sworn written statements, initial autopsy results, and just good old fashioned experience.

Nothing which we have reported so far has changed. We aware of a “theory” that others may have been involved in Mr. Ludwick’s death. Initial thoughts (without FACTS) by someone who has been interviewed by federal authorities and found not to be credible, due in part to multiple contradictory statements. There is absolutely no EVIDENCE at this time that anyone other than the woman Mr. Ludwick attacked was involved. Of course we are always open to new and additional FACTUAL tips and information. If you have any FACTS or EVIDENCE, please let us know and we will investigate. #FACTS #EVIDENCE

Chilling 911 by woman who fought off man with Natalie Holloway connection
By: John Rogers
Updated: Mar 23, 2018 11:17 AM EDT

NORTH PORT, Fla. (WFLA) - North Port police released a chilling 911 call made by a woman who stabbed a man after an attempted kidnapping.

That man, it turns out, was connected to the Natalee Holloway disappearance investigation.

Last Wednesday morning, Emily Heistand drove back home from her boyfriend’s house to pick up her daughter. She then came face to face with terror.

"He had a knife to my neck. He told me he was going to kill me if I didn't give him the keys,” a frantic Heistand said on the call.

Her former roommate, John Ludwick, was waiting for her. He gained notoriety after he recently admitted he helped Joran van der Sloot dispose of the remains of Natalee Holloway.

“He was wearing all black like a face mask, a jacket, everything,” she described on the phone.

“He must’ve been hiding behind my other car because I heard somebody run over and I knew it was him when I started screaming right away and I couldn’t close the door quick enough,” said Heistand.

Heistand fought back.

“I got the knife from him and I stabbed him!” she said.

And then she kept fighting.

"He had his arm around my neck and I just kept swinging it back at him because I thought I was gonna die and I think I got him, because when I went inside he was on the ground sitting,” Heistand told the dispatcher.

Ludwick ran off and later died from his wounds. Heistand said Ludwick had been stalking her for months.

"I told him if he doesn't leave me alone I'm gonna get the police involved and yesterday he told me 'you just sealed your fate,” said Heistand.

I just watched one of the Dr. Phil clips where Emily is talking about conspiracy theorist, Gabriel Madrigal, and discrediting his theory on her boyfriend being the actual killer of John Ludwick.

So I go to Gabe's fb page to see what he's saying, and he's been busy the last few days.  Yeah he's still claiming that the boyfriend really did it.
Still trying to pawn off his videos of his trips to Aruba and his bogus investigation...
And....still trying to make money off of Natalee's name.  ::MonkeyNoNo:: ::MonkeyMad::

Ebby Steppach News Update: Family Enlists Lead Investigator From Natalee Holloway Case to Help Find Missing Girl

By Jessica Ferrera , Christian Post Contributor | Oct 13, 2017 2:36 PM

 ::snipping3::

Steppach's family, on the other hand, remains hopeful about locating the young girl. Her mother, Laurie Jernigan, confirmed to KATV that they had reached out to Ward. She was nevertheless surprised when she got a call from him sooner than she expected.

Jernigan is positive that whoever is involved in the disappearance of her daughter will be captured in time. She told KATV: "We will find her, and we'll find who's responsible for this. They haven't gotten away with anything. It's just a matter of getting to them."

Meanwhile, it was also confirmed that Ward had already met with detectives from the LRPD to go through documents and pieces of evidence to start his work on the case.

The investigator told the local paper: "I looked into the facts and circumstances around it. They were kind of interesting and a puzzle, and of course there was some issues between the family and law enforcement early on."

As mentioned, Ward is also known for his contributions in the Holloway case. The girl had gone missing during her trip to Aruba to celebrate her high school graduation in 2005. Like Steppach, Holloway was 18 years old when she disappeared.

When Ward was called in to look into the case, he went through the evidence which led the decade-long investigation to an informant named Gabriel that helped shed light on what happened to Holloway despite prime suspect Joran van der Sloot's non-conviction.

 ::snipping3::

Ebby Steppach's remains were positively identified this week.  She was found in a drainage pipe in the residential area park where her car was found two and a half years ago!  The entrance to the pipe being very near her car.  I've read several things on FB and in the media and wondered why I hadn't seen TJ mentioned in the many thanks from the family.  I watched a podcast last night and I'm not sure exactly when it was posted but she did mention TJ joining the investigation.  She updated four months ago with this comment.

UPDATE! TJ Ward has since been fired from the case! According to what I have been told, he took advantage of the family and did absolutely no work. This is heartbreaking to hear and makes me want to push even harder to raise money for his family! Please keep them in your thoughts. There is nothing worse than being taken advantage of in a desperate time of need.

I noticed that the Zeolla's just sold their house in Aruba in the past year.  Not sure this means anything at all and may be something we knew and I've just forgotten.  I'm putting it here in case the info goes poof eventually.  The Aruba Chamber registry doesn't show him as a proxy now, it looks like the managing directors changed at the end of 2017.  One thing I noticed about the company is that it's the same address as the Sjiem Fat & Co. Aruba Lawyers, but apparently there are a whole lot of companies registered under that address.

Texas man may have solved daughter's 1984 murder
Travis Fedschun By Travis Fedschun   | Fox News

(http://a57.foxnews.com/images.foxnews.com/content/fox-news/us/2018/06/13/texas-man-may-have-solved-daughters-1984-murder/_jcr_content/par/featured_image/media-0.img.jpg/931/524/1528918017992.jpg?ve=1&tl=1)

Texas EquuSearch founder Tim Miller believes Clyde Hedrick, left, is responsible for murdering his daughter, Laura.  (Galveston County Sheriff's Office/Texas EquuSearch)

 ::snipping3::

Tim Miller, the founder of non-profit Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery, has been working toward finding his daughter's killer ever since Laura Miller was abducted and murdered in north Galveston County, Texas in 1984 at the age of 16.

Laura was last seen alive on Sept. 10, 1984, when she went to use a payphone at a gas station since the family had moved into a new home in League City, Texas and their phone lines weren't yet set up.

 ::snipping3::

Miller told The Guardian that police investigators initially treated her disappearance as a runaway or suicide.

Months before Laura vanished, a couple in League City found their dog playing with a human skull on April 4, 1984. Authorities later identified the skull as belonging to Heidi Fye, a local waitress who had vanished when using the same payphone as Laura in October, 1983.

Authorities later found the rest of Fye's body in an oil field off Interstate 45.

Miller told The Guardian he asked police at the time to check the field for his daughter because of the connection of the two using the same payphone, but was dismissed at the time.

Boys riding dirtbikes in that same oil field two years later came across a body propped under a tree near the spot where Fye was found, and also came across the skeleton of Laura Miller.

Miller, now 71, told The Guardian he believed that a man who lived down the road from the Millers before they moved to League City may have been invovled in his daughter's murder.

Clyde Hedrick had recently served a short stint in prison for an incident that occurred the same year Laura was killed, when he was convicted of abusing a woman's corpse, according to the Guardian.

Hedrick claimed the woman, Ellen Beason, drowned when they were swimming together, and he freaked out and hid her body in a panic. The Galveston County Medical Examiner said at the time that Beason’s cause of death was indeterminable, and Hedrick was convicted only of abusing a corpse, a minor offense, and sentenced to a year in jail.

Clyde Hedrick is currently serving 20 years in prison for manslaughter.  (Galveston County Sheriff's Office )

Nearly 30 years later, investigators conducted another examination of Beason's body and discovered she died from blunt force trauma to the head. Hedrick was arrested for her murder in 2013 and was eventually convicted and sentecned to 20 years in prison.

Hedrick, who is serving time at a Texas penitentiary, has continued to deny any involvement in the deaths of Laura and the other two women.

“Miller got a lot of people to think I’m the League City Killing Field Serial Killer,” he told The Guardian, charging that Miller is always trying to point blame. “I’m the fourth man he said got to be the one. All of us caused his daughter's death. Come on. [I want] this nightmare over and behind me!”

Miller told the Guardian he just wants Hedrick to confess to killing his daugther and the other killings, in addition to identifiying the other bodies found in the field.

I have always liked and respected Tim. I think some personal weaknesses have allowed some to take advantage of his good will. (The case of his daughter helped foster his personal issues). To answer a question above .... that area south of Houston has indeed been the site of MANY missing girls. I think they are all related. Tim is from Pearland, TX (if I recall correctly). That whole corridor along I-45 has been the subject of a few shows and documentaries about the several missing girls and murders.

The Texas Killing Fields is an area bordering the Calder Oil Field, which is a 25-acre patch of land situated a mile from Interstate Highway 45.
Since the early 1970s, 30 bodies of murder victims have been found within the Killing Fields area. These were mainly the bodies of girls or young women. Furthermore, many young girls have disappeared from this area. Their bodies, if the girls are deceased, are still missing.

It is believed that many of the murders are the work of serial killers. Many of the victims were aged 10–25 years, and many shared similar physical features. A few of them had similar hairstyles Despite exhaustive efforts by the League City, Texas police, along with the assistance of the FBI, very few of these murders have been solved. ::snipping3::

Texas EquuSearch facing funding crisis

By Phil Archer - Reporter
Posted: 6:09 PM, July 05, 2018
Updated: 6:09 PM, July 05, 2018

HOUSTON - Texas EquuSearch in facing an uncertain future, according to the nonprofit’s founder, Tim Miller.

Miller said the organization is running out of money.

He said the organization is as busy as ever, but donations are down this year.

“After Hurricane Harvey, it’s kind of dried our donations up,” Miller said.

Miller said he’s injected $36,000 of his own money to keep the doors open for the last three months.

He founded Texas EquuSearch in 2000 after his daughter was abducted and murdered.

EquuSearch is as busy as ever. Volunteers are currently helping local police in four missing persons cases. The subject of one of those cases is Gloria Jimenez’s sister, Maria, the mother of a small child who went missing on her way to work last week.

“Honestly, that’s my only support that I have right now. They are the only ones keeping me strong and still having faith that she’s somewhere and that she’s going to come back home,” Jimenez said.

In 18 years, Texas EquuSearch has become an important partner for police agencies ranging from the Houston Police Department to the FBI and Texas Rangers. The nonprofit has been involved in more than 1,800 searches in 42 states and nine foreign countries. Volunteers provide manpower police agencies simply don’t have.

“To have that force multiplier that someone is going to go out there and search all these different areas, I mean, it certainly helps in their investigations,” said Joe Gamaldi, president of the Houston Police Officers Union.

But without new sources of funding, Miller isn’t sure how long he can keep providing that help.

“I’m scared,” Miller said. “For the first time in my life, I'm really scared that if something doesn’t break, I’m going to get a phone call and I'm going to have to say, 'I’m sorry, I can’t help.'”

Miller is planning a fundraiser to be held in October. In the meantime, he’s trying to attract new donors.

Here is more information:

It's not the first time in their history, and he has turned a family down before.
The snip below is from five years ago.
Now he had $36,000 in savings to chip in?  What kind of expenses average $12,000 a month?  If I were considering donating, I'd want to know.

Volunteer accused of stealing from EquuSearch
By Carol Christian, Chron.com / Houston Chronicle Updated 3:58 pm CDT, Thursday, June 20, 2013

Quote
Discovery of the thefts comes at a bad time for the all-volunteer group, which he said has been struggling financially in recent months.

"I seriously don't know if we're going to survive it," he said.

Miller told of receiving a call at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday from the family of a young woman missing in Louisiana, and said that for the first time ever he had to tell the family there was nothing EquuSearch could do.

Volunteer accused of stealing from EquuSearch
By Carol Christian, Chron.com / Houston Chronicle Updated 3:58 pm CDT, Thursday, June 20, 2013

IMAGE 1 OF 33 Vernon Armentor, 48, who allegedly made unauthorized use of a credit card belonging to Texas Equusearch, is in the Galveston County Jail on $20,000 bond.

A former boyfriend of Laura Miller, whose abduction and death led her father to start Texas EquuSearch, now stands accused of stealing from the organization.

Vernon Armentor, 48, was arrested this week and charged with credit card abuse, agency founder and director Tim Miller said Wednesday.

Miller started the organization in August 2000.

His daughter, then 16, disappeared in 1984 from League City. At the time, Armentor was her boyfriend. Picture of him at link

"I'm sick about it," Miller said of the theft allegations. "That was my daughter's boyfriend and would have been my son-in-law. It's a disgrace to Laura and a disgrace to EquuSearch." ::snipping3::

Texas Equusearch Volunteer Charged With Theft
June 20, 2013 at 8:54 amFiled Under:Body Found, EquuSearch, Missing person, Missing Persons, Physical Search, Texas EquuSearch
DICKINSON (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — A volunteer with Texas Equusearch has been accused of stealing from the search organization.

Galveston County jail records show 48-year-old Vernon Armentor was being held Thursday on credit or debit card abuse charges. Online jail records don’t list an attorney for Armentor, who was arrested Monday at the group’s office in Dickinson.

Officials had noticed unusual cash withdrawals from the search and recovery group’s credit card. Video surveillance from ATMs helped lead to the arrest of Armentor, who’s known Texas Equusearch founder Tim Miller for years. Armentor formerly dated Miller’s 16-year-old daughter, Laura.

In other news related to the organization, Texas Equusearch on Tuesday had about $45,000 worth of equipment and a trailer stolen from outside a restaurant.

Miller started Texas Equusearch in 2000 following the 1984 disappearance and slaying of his daughter.

I have seen nothing to discredit Tim or Equisearch. Quite frankly, I’m surprised their expenses aren’t MORE than $12,000 a month. They have many horses to board along with salaries and operating expenses. It isn’t run from his home anymore - rent alone is probably in excess of $5,000 a month. I summed up my feelings on the last page of the thread.

Maybe a big corporation will step up and put some money into Equisearch, which is what they need. We need Equisearch to continue, in my opinion. It's people that prey on those who are the most vulnerable that make me sick. Losing a child is no joke and Tim has not only lost his daughter, but he has worked tirelessly at helping find others. I hope this does not discourage him to continue, he and his people have the equipment and knowledge that others don't.

"Help" by Peter R. de Vries (Natalee Holloway): another ram raid
 
Hendrik Jan Korterink  July 24, 2018    3 Comments

One of the two suspects who stood before the court in Zutphen on Monday for a ram raid in Apeldoorn, is Patrick van der E. (45). Reporting  Omroep Gelderland We know him as the infiltrant who, as an undercover for Peter de Vries, approached Joran van der Sloot and got some secrets about the death of Natalee Holloway. Van der Eem later wrote a book about it (photo below: the presentation of it)

The ram raid was on 18 September 2017 at jeweler Maaskant at the Mercatorplein in Apeldoorn. Two men drove the shop front with a stolen car. Jewelery and clocks lay on the floor everywhere in the building. A month earlier they had already made a failed attempt here. Then they did not get far enough, now they had laid down road plates.

With thieves you catch thieves and that Patrick is a rather incorrigible crook, is clear: he got four months ago ten months in prison for a ram raid at a clothing store in Oosterbeek.

'Ontmaskeraar' Joran van der Sloot suspected of ram raid in Apeldoorn

He once unmasked Joran van der Sloot in a controversial broadcast by Peter R. de Vries about the murder of Natalee Holloway. But the 45-year-old Patrick van der E. himself is not a blank sheet. Today he had to report to the court in Zutphen for a raid in Apeldoorn and Deventer.

Debora Boomsma 23-07-18, 14:53

 ::snipping3::

Because it was a pro forma session, Van der E. did not have much to say. He did, however, know that he was annoyed when he arrived. He finds that he is wrongly linked to a Facebook account.

When he was arrested, the police would have written down a wrong telephone number that was linked to an account on Facebook, on which potentially damaging material was found. Van der E. says that this account is not his.

Media
His lawyer then also requested that the agents on duty be heard on that investigation. The court decided that this was not necessary, to the great frustration of Van der E. He told the media to turn to his side of the story. 'Prepare yourself,' he warned the chairman of the court.

The court also rejected the request to lift the temporary detention of Van der E. His lawyer therefore asked because her client misses his children and wants to wait for the process in freedom.

Social importance
However, the public prosecutor warned the court that chances are that Van der E. will go wrong again. And the social interest must, in his opinion, outweigh the personal interest of the suspect. The court went along with that. Van der E. said that it was fine to find.

The 'ontmaskeraar' of Joran van de Sloot remains in the cell until 3 September. On that date, the substantive session of the case is planned. Incidentally, Van der E. has been convicted once before for a ram raid. He was then sentenced to 10 months in prison on appeal.

Natalee Holloway: Years-Old Aruba Mystery with Few Answers and No Body

When it comes to disappearances, few are as enduring in the public consciousness as that of 18-year-old Alabama high school graduate Natalee Holloway, who went missing in May 2005 while on a trip to Aruba with friends. There have been theories, sightings, arrests and accusations in the case — but more than 12 years later, few answers have been found and Holloway or her remains have not been located. Although Joran van der Sloot has long been suspected, he has never been charged in connection with her going missing. He is serving 28 years in a Peruvian prison for the 2010 murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores. Once released, he will likely be extradited to the United States to face charges for allegedly extorting Holloway’s mother, Beth, out of $250,000 in exchange for information about her missing daughter. Holloway’s father, Dave, continues to search for what happened to her.

Exposer Joran van der Sloot now almost three years in the cell
Yesterday at 2:17 PM by AD / Judah Bolink

More than ten years ago he literally knocked almost half the Netherlands on the pipe. On Monday he can do it with relative anonymity in a cell of a little over ten square meters. Patrick van der Eem, the man from Curaçao who elicited Joran van der Sloot statements about the case of Natalee Holloway, is - again - sentenced to a prison sentence

33 months. For so long, the now 45-year-old Van der Eem has to be locked up this time, according to the Gelderland District Court today. Because last year he added a number of new chapters to his already impressively long criminal record - according to justice nineteen pages. There is a ram raid on a jeweler's shop in Apeldoorn on 22 August 2017. But also: car theft and a break-in at a gas station in Deventer, the city where he was last registered as a resident.
 ::snipping3::
All that took place after his cooperation in an undercover operation against Joran van der Sloot, set up by crime reporter Peter R. de Vries. Van der Eem had met Van der Sloot in a casino in Nijmegen and then became familiar with him. In his car, he elicited Van der Sloot statements about the disappearance of the American Natalee Holloway. Van der Eem received 25,000 euros for his cooperation in the operation. The broadcast in February 2008 itself was viewed by almost seven million people.

Volunteer accused of stealing from EquuSearch
By Carol Christian, Chron.com / Houston Chronicle Updated 3:58 pm CDT, Thursday, June 20, 2013

IMAGE 1 OF 33 Vernon Armentor, 48, who allegedly made unauthorized use of a credit card belonging to Texas Equusearch, is in the Galveston County Jail on $20,000 bond.

A former boyfriend of Laura Miller, whose abduction and death led her father to start Texas EquuSearch, now stands accused of stealing from the organization.

Vernon Armentor, 48, was arrested this week and charged with credit card abuse, agency founder and director Tim Miller said Wednesday.

Miller started the organization in August 2000.

His daughter, then 16, disappeared in 1984 from League City. At the time, Armentor was her boyfriend. Picture of him at link

"I'm sick about it," Miller said of the theft allegations. "That was my daughter's boyfriend and would have been my son-in-law. It's a disgrace to Laura and a disgrace to EquuSearch." ::snipping3::

"Armentor formerly dated Miller’s 16-year-old daughter, Laura."

The FBI and authorities in Aruba are investigating whether the tragic death of an American woman on a Caribbean cruise was an accident or a crime.

The Princess Cruises’ Royal Princess cruise ship was in the Caribbean early Tuesday when the victim, a 52-year-old woman who has not been publicly identified, plunged from an upper deck onto a lifeboat below, according to authorities.

When the ship arrived at port in Aruba, local authorities launched an investigation.

Aruba news outlet Diario reported that witnesses saw the victim engaged in an altercation with another passenger prior to her death. Authorities have yet to confirm that report.


In an interview with USA Today, Aruba Public Prosecutor’s Office spokeswoman Ann Angela said investigators are trying to determine whether the woman’s death is an accident or a crime.

“It’s obvious that she fell, but why did she fall? Was she pushed? Did she jump?” Angela asked. “That is what we are investigating, to find out exactly what happened.”

Angela said the victim’s husband, who has not been named a suspect or person of interest in his wife’s death, is still on the island. The FBI has since joined the investigation.

“If the evidence points towards it being a crime, then, of course, we will look into [a] suspect,” Angela told USA Today.



The cruise ship departed Aruba Wednesday for Bonaire.

Another passenger said: 'Ten police officers came aboard. The announcement was a criminal investigation was to be conducted before we are given clearance'
They added: 'Two couples were asked repeatedly to go to customer relations'
The Royal Princess ship left on an eight-day cruise around the Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale on November 9, and will return to Florida on Saturday
Aruba investigators will perform an autopsy to establish if the woman was choked to death or died from the fall, and the FBI is also investigating the matter

An American man has been hauled off the Royal Princess cruise ship after a woman was allegedly choked and pushed off a top deck, severing her leg and killing her, after a volatile altercation during their Caribbean getaway.

The man was hauled off the ship by investigators in Aruba on Tuesday morning in relation to the death of the 52-year-old woman, who was his partner, according to sources.

The couple were on the Royal Princess, which had embarked on an eight-day cruise around the Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale, Florida on November 9.

The man, described as being muscular, reportedly strangled the woman before tossing her from the ship's 16th deck.

The woman crashed down onto a lifeboat and her leg was torn off, according to horrified passengers, who said the scene was gruesome with glass everywhere.

 ::snipping3::

A spokeswoman for Aruban prosecutors confirmed to DailyMail.com that the man taken off the boat was the woman's partner and that the woman's death is being treated as unnatural.

Local investigators have performed an autopsy to establish how the woman died. The FBI is also carrying out its own investigation.

The name of the victim and the man taken off the boat have not been released. No arrests have been made yet.

Natalee Holloway's mother asks judge to reject Oxygen's motion to dismiss lawsuit
by Stephen GallienTuesday, May 8th 2018

FILE - In this June 8, 2010, file photo, Beth Holloway, mother of Natalee Holloway, speaks during the opening of the Natalee Holloway Resource Center (NHRC) at the National Museum of Crime & Punishment in Washington. Beth Holloway said on NBC's "Today" show Monday, August, 29, 2016, that justice hasn't been served in her daughter's death. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File)

The mother of Natalee Holloway wants a federal judge to reject a media company's motion to dismiss her federal lawsuit.

Elizabeth Holloway's response to the dismissal motion by Oxygen Media claims the alleged conduct was fraudulent and outrageous and has no place in a civil society.

Holloway filed a $35 million dollar lawsuit against Oxygen Media over the six part series "The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway."

Her lawsuit claims the series contained gruesome depictions of Natalee's death and that the defendants obtained Elizabeth Holloway's DNA under false pretenses.

Oxygen Media claimed first amendment protection in asking the judge to dismiss the lawsuit.

___________________________________ 
FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES 
 COMES NOW, Elizabeth Ann Holloway, and files her First Amended Complaint for
Damages against Defendants Oxygen Media, LLC and Brian Graden Media, LLC, showing this
Honorable Court as follows:
INTRODUCTION
1. On May 30, 2005, Natalee Holloway (“Natalee”) disappeared on the last night of
her high school senior class trip to Aruba.  In the thirteen years since Natalee’s disappearance,
Plaintiff Elizabeth Ann Holloway (“Beth”), Natalee’s mother, has desperately and endlessly
sought to find Natalee, alive or dead. 
2. Oxygen Media, LLC and Brian Graden Media, LLC (collectively, “Defendants”)
took advantage of Natalee’s disappearance and Beth’s desperation when, between August 19,
2017, and September 23, 2017, Defendants published for profit a six-part “true crime” and
“unscripted” “documentary” entitled The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway (the “Series”)
wherein Defendants made the knowingly false declarations that they had discovered how Natalee
died, where she was buried, that her body was exhumed five years after her death, and that her

Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 1 of 51

remains were then desecrated.  After this lawsuit was instituted, Defendants have republished for
profit their Series as a marathon to coincide with the anniversary of Natalee’s disappearance, as
well as republished individual episodes, with all of the attendant flaws and with actual malice.
3. Defendants’ purported “true crime documentary” Series and their false claims
regarding the murder of Natalee and disgusting desecration of her remains were based solely on
the word of a self-admitted heroin addict, Mr. John Ludwick, and Defendants admitted in their
Series that they believed that sole source to be a liar.
4. On April 25, 2017, after at least two occasions during which Mr. Ludwick was
unable to lead Defendants to any remains or burial site, Mr. Ludwick returned to Aruba and,
outside of Defendants’ presence, “discovered” four bone fragments in a Ziploc bag on his aunt’s
property that he claimed belonged to Natalee and that he kept as a trophy (the “Bone
Fragments”).   
5. On or around June 14, 2017, Defendants were advised by Aruban authorities that
their expert found that the four Bone Fragments were animal bones, not human bones. 
Ultimately, following suspect DNA analysis addressed below, Defendants claimed that just one
of the four Bone Fragments was human (the “Purported Human Bone Fragment”).
6. On August 10 and August 11, 2017, days prior to the Series premiere,
Defendants’ agents contacted Beth privately and claimed to Beth that they discovered human
remains in a grave site in Aruba that they believed to be Natalee, and that they needed Beth’s
DNA to test against those remains to definitively determine whether the remains belonged to
Natalee.  In doing so, Defendants knowingly and intentionally raised Beth’s hopes for a
resolution to Natalee’s disappearance after all of these years.
7. Neither Defendants nor their agents disclosed to Beth during these conversations
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 2 of 51

that the purported human remains were found by a paid participant in a television show who was
an admitted heroin addict, that Defendants were involved, or even that a television show was
being made or existed and that Beth and Natalee’s DNA would be used on that show for
Defendants’ profit.  Beth did not discover the existence of the Series until Defendants’
promotional tour began in earnest just prior to the Series premiere, and only after she was
(falsely) told that the Series found human remains in a grave site in Aruba following a legitimate
investigation by Natalee’s father and private investigator.
8. According to the sworn statement of a Series participant, Gabriel Madrigal, the
“human remains” Defendants claimed to have found were actually pig bones from the skull of a
wild boar that died in 2013 in Florida (the “Pig Skull”).  To repeat, in a “true crime
documentary” about one of the most famous unsolved mysteries in this country, Defendants
claimed to have discovered human remains and used that as a basis to obtain Beth’s DNA
without disclosing the existence of a television show for profit.  They had pig bones.  Nothing
more.
9. In particular, Mr. Ludwick brought to Mr. Madrigal the Pig Skull and stated that
he broke off the four Bone Fragments from the Pig Skull and planted them in Aruba for the
purposes of Defendants’ Series.  Mr. Madrigal taped this conversation.  The Court and
Defendants may choose to watch a video of this recorded conversation at the following link: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK8R0UHqRhI (last visited June 12, 2018).   
10. Beth’s counsel is now in possession of the Pig Skull.  The Bone Fragments, and
most especially the Purported Human Bone Fragment, clearly match the appearance and
dimensions of the Pig Skull, and the Purported Human Bone Fragment appears to have come
from the top of the Pig Skull.  Both contain the same green color caused by fungus growth and
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 3 of 51

the same brown plant growth in certain areas.  The Purported Human Bone Fragment is convex
in the same manner as the top of the Pig Skull, each contain the same striations and cracks, and
the length and size of the Purported Human Bone Fragment closely match the length and size of
this portion of the Pig Skull.
11. Following their private declarations and misrepresentations to Beth causing her to
believe that the Series was legitimate, and as mere examples of Defendants’ reckless and
outrageous claims, Defendants published – and made Beth hear, watch, and read – that:  Natalee
was likely drugged, raped, killed, and her body buried after her legs were “cracked” so she could
fit in a burlap sack that would hold her buried body; that five years later, after being “dug up,”
her remains were “crushed” and “pummeled . . . throughout a few hours” “to the point it was not
recognizable”; her skull was “doused in gasoline in a fire pit” “to burn the hair fibers”; and her
crushed bones were then mixed with a dog’s before being “cremated.”  It was not until the end of
the six-week Series that the suspicious circumstances under which the Bone Fragments were
discovered were revealed.  As a result of Defendants’ prior misrepresentations and because these
gruesome depictions appeared on the self-branded go-to network for true crime documentaries,
Beth believed these descriptions to be true.
12. After Defendants received the Bone Fragments from the Aruban authorities,
where they were told that the Bone Fragments uncovered by this unreliable witness were animal
bones, Defendants provided the Bone Fragments to their DNA analyst, Dr. Jason Kolowski.  Dr.
Kolowski first tested the Bone Fragments for nuclear DNA – the type of DNA that makes
humans human and the type of DNA that would allow for a definitive identification of the person
to whom the remains belonged.  That test came back negative for the presence of human DNA. 
Despite this result, Dr. Kolowski then elected to test the Bone Fragments for “mitochondrial
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 4 of 51

DNA.”  That test, according to Defendants, revealed the presence of human mitochondrial DNA
belonging to a Caucasian individual.
13. However, the mitochondrial DNA test performed by Defendants does not
determine species, it determines only the presence of mitochondrial DNA, which all living beings
possess.  Even if the mitochondrial DNA sequence obtained by Defendants is human specific, it
does not follow that the Bone Fragments or the Purported Human Bone Fragment are, in fact,
human.  Such a finding would mean only that there was human mitochondrial DNA found on the
tested Bone Fragments, a finding that is not at all surprising – and may even be expected – given
that the Bone Fragments were handled and likely contaminated by Mr. Ludwick, a Caucasian
and a heroin addict.  Further, whereas tests for nuclear DNA can genetically identify individuals
and family lineage, mitochondrial DNA tests cannot uniquely identify one person under any
circumstances.  The most that Defendants’ mitochondrial DNA test could have done is exclude
the Bone Fragments as belonging to Natalee or determine that the bones belonged to an
individual with a mitochondrial DNA sequence similar to Natalee’s, a sequence that is
presumably shared very widely amongst humankind.  At best, Defendants could have used the
test to determine that Natalee’s DNA was not excluded by the test.  Accordingly, there was no
reasonable basis to conclude that any of the Bone Fragments – in the face of the Aruban
authorities’ declaration that the bones were animal bones and in light of the likelihood of
contamination – were human, and certainly not that the Bone Fragments belonged to Natalee. 
Defendants could have done a speciation test or submitted the Bone Fragments to an
anthropologist to determine whether they were human; they did not do so despite Mr. Ludwick’s
lack of credibility.
14. It appears to have been Defendants’ conduct that substantially caused Dr.
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 5 of 51

Kolowski’s errors:  they did not disclose to Dr. Kolowski how the Bone Fragments were
discovered and the associated and resulting contamination of the Bone Fragments.  In Dr.
Kolowski’s own words to Beth:
I feel that in hindsight, I was kept out of the loop of the origin of the bone samples on purpose.  I was told they were recovered in the course of the investigation and were in the possession of the Aruba authorities, who turned them over to TJ [Ward] and Dave for further analysis.  I was not told that John [Ludwick] and Gabe [Madrigal] recovered the bones by themselves, which is a huge conflict. . . . While the testing and my handling of the bones was done professionally and ethically, I could also be ‘burned’ professionally for having done testing on samples that were known to be compromised . . . 
Dr. Kolowski was told by Defendants that T.J. Ward, the Series’ private investigator, recovered
the Bone Fragments from a pet cemetery; he was not told that a heroin addict handled and found
the Bone Fragments in a Ziploc bag without any independent corroboration.
15. It was only after Beth was told of an allegedly credible find of human remains by
seemingly credible individuals in a private investigation, which remains were being tested by a
seemingly credible DNA expert for private purposes, that Beth was forced to hear and watch the
gruesome depictions of Natalee’s desecration in a so-called documentary.  When Beth heard that
Natalee’s skeleton was exhumed and broken into tiny pieces before being mixed with the
remains of a dog, among the many other descriptors, she was not privy to the litany of reasons
showing Mr. Ludwick to lack all credibility in Defendants’ possession at the time of publication. 
Defendants could have waited a matter of weeks to air their show to first conclusively determine
whether they had found Natalee’s bones – they did not – and thereby spare Beth, but for their
own purposes and designs, Defendants recklessly rushed to publish their farcical Series. 
16. Further, according to a lawsuit filed by the Series’ creator, rather than being an
unscripted and true-crime documentary as Defendants portrayed to Beth and their viewers,
Defendants’ Series was preconceived and written in advance.  The Series was not a real-time or
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 6 of 51

legitimate investigation into new leads, and Defendants’ purported discovery of Natalee’s
remains was not spontaneous.  Instead, the Series was a pre-planned farce, and its publication
was outrageous. 
17. In addition to the publications in the Series, Oxygen Media, LLC made the same
outrageous claims before, during, and after the Series via its website, Oxygen.com.
18. The impact of Defendants’ deceit on Beth was profound.  Through their claims
directly to Beth, through their Series, and through their media publications, Beth truly believed
Defendants had found Natalee but she was forced to wait nearly two months to discover the
truth, and even longer to discover that her suffering was consciously and wrongfully inflicted
and that Defendants’ Series was a hoax.  In Beth’s own words, having to wait without knowing
what would happen next while Defendants repeatedly proclaimed what heinous acts had been
visited upon Natalee and her body “completely and utterly destroyed me.” 
19. Accordingly, this Complaint is brought against Defendants for their publication of
gruesome and consciously false descriptions and images of the manner in which Natalee died
and the desecration of Natalee’s remains, and for their fraudulent involvement of Beth by
obtaining her DNA under false pretenses.  Defendants’ conduct is so extreme and outrageous as
to go beyond all bounds of decency and is not to be tolerated in a civilized society.  Defendants
recklessly disregarded the likelihood that their claims were false, and in doing so, intentionally
caused or recklessly disregarded a probability that they would cause Beth grievous emotional
suffering.

FACTUAL BACKGROUND
Natalee’s Disappearance and Beth’s Search for Her Daughter
36. Natalee was one of approximately 120 students from Mountain Brook High
School who took a senior class graduation trip to the island of Aruba in May 2005.
37. The students began their trip on May 26, 2005, and were scheduled to return
home on May 30, 2005.
38. Natalee was last seen entering a car with Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe, and
Satish Kalpoe at approximately 1:30 a.m. on the morning of May 30, 2005.
39. Later that same morning, Natalee failed to meet her classmates for their return
flight to the United States. 
40. Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe, and Satish Kalpoe have been repeatedly
arrested and released from prison as suspects in Natalee’s disappearance.
41. In June of 2011, Natalee’s father, Dave Holloway, filed paperwork in Alabama
seeking to have her declared dead.
42. Natalee was declared legally dead in January 2012, but her whereabouts and body
remain unfound.  Thus, whether she is actually dead remains unknown.
43. Beth disagreed with Dave Holloway’s decision to have Natalee declared dead and
has been quoted as saying that she “will always hope and pray for Natalee’s safe return.” 
44. The manner of Natalee’s death, if she is dead, also remains unknown.
45. Natalee’s disappearance was the subject of nearly unprecedented media coverage
with round-the-clock coverage of the investigation by members of both the print and broadcast
media.
46. In the immediate aftermath of Natalee’s disappearance, Beth took all measures
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 10 of 51
11 
available to her to locate her daughter. 
47. Beth worked with a multitude of individuals to find Natalee, including but not
limited to:  American, Aruban, and Netherlands authorities; Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands;
Aruba Prime Minister Nelson Oduber; Aruba Minister of Justice Rudy Croes; Aruba Chief
Prosecutor Karin Janssen; Aruba Minister of Tourism Ruben Trappenberg; Aruba Police Chief
Gerold Dompig; the Royal Netherlands Air Force; Aruba attorneys Vinda de Sousa and Helen
Lejuez; President Bill Clinton; U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; U.S. Secretary of
Homeland Security Michael Chertoff;  FBI Agent William Bryan among other agents; FBI Legal
Attache Doug Shipley; DEA Agent Eric Williams among other agents; International Victims’
Assistance representatives Kathleen Hall and Dahlia Williams; American Consulates; the
American Consulate General; Alabama Senator Richard Shelby; Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions;
Alabama Congressman Spencer Bachus; Alabama Governor Bob Riley; GA Governor Sonny
Purdue; Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee; Alabama Lieutenant Governor Luther Strange;
New York City Attorney John Q. Kelly; Ross Perot; the Florida State University Dive Team;
Texas Equusearch; private investigators; and many other authorities; as well as the media,
celebrities, and countless others in her ongoing efforts to find Natalee.
48. Despite repeated searches of Aruba and its waters, neither Natalee nor her
remains have ever been located. 
49. Beth continues to work to discover her daughter’s fate. 
The Actors in the Series
50. The Series was acted out by a number of paid participants, including, among
others:  Gabriel Madrigal (“Madrigal”), John Ludwick (“Ludwick”); Dave Holloway (“Dave”);
T.J Ward (“Ward”); and Jason Kolowski, Ph.D. (“Kolowski”).
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 11 of 51
12 
51. Ludwick is referred to as the “suspect” in the Series.  Ludwick claims, among
other things, to have known Joran van der Sloot, to have exhumed Natalee’s body at van der
Sloot’s bidding, to have “crushed” Natalee’s remains into little pieces, and to have burned her
skull before disposing of her remains.
52. Defendants claim that Ludwick was unaware of their involvement, the Series, and
the investigation into Natalee’s disappearance until after he made his confessions during a
“sting” operation depicted in the Series. 
53. Madrigal is referred to as the “informant” in the Series.  Madrigal is depicted by
Defendants as spurring the “new lead” into Natalee’s disappearance.
54. Dave is depicted in the Series as Natalee’s grieving father.
55. Ward is depicted in the Series as the private investigator leading the investigation
into Natalee’s disappearance.
56. Kolowski is depicted in the Series as a forensic expert. 
The Creation and Marketing of the Series
57. Defendants represented in promotional materials and in the Series itself that the
Series was an “unscripted” “real-time investigation” and “documentary” following “a new lead
that could deliver justice for Natalee once and for all,” including “the specifics of what happened
to her and the remains of her body.” 
58. Contrary to Defendants’ representations, the Series was not an “unscripted”
“documentary” or “real-time investigation.” 
59. Rather, upon information and belief, the Series – and its resolution – was a
scripted, pre-planned farce calculated to give the impression of real-time events.
60. Accordingly, upon information and belief, Defendants knew at the outset that they
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 12 of 51
13 
had not discovered, and would not discover, Natalee’s remains.
61. Beth, distraught by the Series, its claims, and her interactions with Defendants
and their agents, only discovered the true nature of the Series following an investigation by
counsel. 
62. In the matter styled Kramer v. Brian Graden Media, LLC et. al., Case No. 2:17
CV-5990 (C.D. Cal. Aug. 11, 2017) (the “Kramer Matter”), the plaintiff, Edward Kramer, seeks
compensation for services he claims to have rendered to Oxygen and BGM.   
63. In particular, Mr. Kramer asserts in the Kramer Matter that he worked with Ward
to create the Series, and that Kramer authored the Series, its plot, and its resolution more than a
year before its publication.   
64. According to Mr. Kramer, he created the plans, scenarios, and episode guides
used by Defendants to “script” the Series.  Mr. Kramer asserts that the “resolution” of the Series
was pre-conceived, and that he wrote it.  (Kramer Matter, ¶¶ 16-21, 27).
65. Mr. Kramer claims to be responsible for signing Madrigal and Ludwick to non
disclosure agreements and recording his conversations with them, which agreements were signed
by BGM, and for selecting Kolowski as the Series’ forensic scientist.  (Kramer Matter, ¶¶ 15,
19).
66. Madrigal purportedly contacted Dave in September 2015 claiming his roommate,
Ludwick, knew the location of Natalee’s remains.  Madrigal was again purportedly interviewed
by Ward on May 29, 2016. 
67. Accordingly, upon information and belief, these interviews and all events in the
Series took place only after Madrigal and Ludwick had already signed non-disclosure
agreements and otherwise agreed to roles as paid participants in the Series.

14 
Timeline of the Series Versus Real Time
68. A review of the purported “real time” events in the Series and those events that
took place in real life reveals that the Series was, in fact, scripted, that Defendants consciously
delayed the results of their DNA testing, that Defendants knowingly preyed on Beth’s hope for
finding her daughter, and that Defendants consciously misrepresented their “discovery” of
“human” remains to hoodwink Beth into providing her DNA for comparison and publication for
profit.
69. As early as the fall of 2014, Mr. Kramer had already created the Series.  (Kramer
Matter, ¶¶ 8, 11).
70. In June 2015, Ward and Dave “signed a Memorandum and Paid Participant
Agreement” to participate in the Series.  (Kramer Matter, ¶ 14).
71. In September 2015, Madrigal called Dave claiming to have a lead – through
Ludwick – on Natalee’s remains.
72. According to Defendants, this September 2015 call was “unsolicited,” and
therefore a fortuitous break for Defendants’ Series.   
73. Dave states that it was when he received that call from Madrigal that he “picked
up the phone and called” Ward.
74. However, according to Mr. Kramer, he was concurrently preparing “non
disclosure agreements and recordings of conversations” with Madrigal and Ludwick, and Dave
and Ward were already signed up as paid participants.  (Kramer Matter, ¶¶ 14, 15).
75. In May 2016, Ward interviewed Madrigal remotely, and was told much of the
information later published in the Series. 
76. On February 8, 2017, Madrigal was interviewed by Dave in person.  This
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 14 of 51
15 
interview was aired in the Series and Defendants conveyed that it was a live and unscripted
interview wherein Dave learns of Madrigal’s purported information for the first time.
77. On February 13, 2017, Defendants staged a “sting” operation in which Madrigal
allegedly took Ludwick to gamble in New Orleans with the intent of getting him to admit on tape
to his participation in the exhumation and desecration of Natalee’s remains.  Ludwick was
purportedly enticed to go because it was an “all expenses paid” vacation.   
78. During this “sting” operation, Defendants claim to have surreptitiously surveilled
Madrigal and Ludwick’s hotel room without Ludwick’s knowledge.  Indeed, Dave himself
claims that Ludwick “does not know that we are involved at this point in time.”
79. By this time, however, Ludwick had already signed a non-disclosure agreement
and had his conversations with Mr. Kramer regarding the case recorded.  (Kramer Matter, ¶ 15).   
80. Accordingly, upon information and belief, Ludwick was a paid participant in the
Series and was aware at all times during the Series that he was being taped for publication.
81. On March 15, 2017, Defendants introduce Dr. Jason Kolowski to the Series. 
Kolowski is a forensic scientist and his “major background is DNA analysis.”  He focuses “on
mitochondrial DNA and the forensic application of mitochondrial analysis.”  See
http://www.oxygen.com/the-disappearance-of-natalee-holloway/blogs/meet-the-forensic
scientist-whos-helping-in-the-search (last visited Nov. 1, 2017).   
82. As of March 15, 2017, Madrigal had allegedly “quit” being Defendants’
informant.
83. On March 16, 2017, Madrigal allegedly agreed to come back on board, to go to
Aruba, and to bring Ludwick with him to lead Defendants to the burial site. 
84. By March 19, 2017, Madrigal and Ludwick – and each of their girlfriends – were
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 15 of 51
16 
already in Aruba. 
85. Defendants continued during this trip to represent that Ludwick was unaware of
their involvement, that their video footage of Ludwick was covert surveillance, and that
Madrigal was still acting as their informant. 
86. On March 19, 2017, Ludwick took Madrigal to identify the grave site where he
allegedly dug up Natalee’s remains (the “first search”).   
87. Ludwick was unable to identify the grave site during the first search.
88. On March 26, 2017, Ward interviewed Ludwick in person.
89. Accordingly, by March 26, 2017, Defendants could no longer claim that Ludwick
was unaware of their involvement.  When and how Ludwick became so aware is not mentioned
in the Series.   
90. On April 6, 2017, Dave and Ward met with Madrigal to “get a plan going on what
we are going to do next,” stating that “John has indicated to Gabriel that he is willing to pinpoint
the exact location and cooperate with the Aruban authorities in showing the exact location and
hopefully solving this case.” 
91. On April 8, 2017, Madrigal and Ludwick re-appeared in Aruba to “pinpoint” the
grave site to Defendants (the “second search”).
92. Ludwick was again unable to identify Natalee’s grave site during the second
search.
93. Ludwick was further unable during the second search to identify the alleged
“cave” near his aunt’s property where he and van der Sloot allegedly burned Natalee’s skull.
94. After the failed second search, Defendants confirmed that “Dave and the team cut
ties with Gabriel and John” because they believed the lead to have been false and unfounded. 
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 16 of 51
17 
95. Nonetheless, Defendants then claimed that “[t]wo weeks later, [Dave and Ward]
receive[d] word that Gabriel and John have returned to Aruba on their own.”   
96. Madrigal and Ludwick then return to Aruba with Madrigal filming their trip via
his cell phone.  According to these unverified video clips, Madrigal and Ludwick returned to
Aruba for a third time to “bring Natalee home” and because Ludwick knew where her remains
are because “he kept [them] as a trophy” (the “third search”). 
97. During the third search, Madrigal and Ludwick purport to go to Ludwick’s aunt’s
house.   
98. Within seconds, Ludwick takes Madrigal directly to the foot of a wall enclosing
his aunt’s property.   
99. By this time, it had been approximately seven years since Ludwick allegedly
exhumed and desecrated Natalee’s remains.
100. Madrigal films while Ludwick purports to uncover a Ziploc bag from just beneath
the ground surface containing the four Bone Fragments.
101. The Ziploc bag, supposedly buried for seven years, appears fairly new, clean, and
in good condition.
102. On April 25, 2017, Dave received a text message from Madrigal containing a
photograph of the Bone Fragments and stating “Hey Dave just in case you think I’m lying I got
evidence[.]  That what this sick f*** gave me as he uncovered it[.]” 
103. Madrigal and Ludwick further claim that the remainder of Natalee’s remains were
buried at a pet cemetery. 
104. Although the date is not given, Madrigal documents via his cell phone Ludwick’s
attempt to identify the grave site with the rest of Natalee’s remains at the pet cemetery (the
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 17 of 51
18 
“fourth search”).
105. Ludwick was unable to identify the grave site during the fourth search.
106. Defendants delayed traveling to Aruba to obtain the Bone Fragments from
Aruban authorities for a period of seven weeks.
107. On June 14, 2017, Dave and Ward met with Aruban authorities to obtain the Bone
Fragments. 
108. Although Defendants obtained the Bone Fragments on June 14, 2017, Defendants
did not deliver the bone fragments to their already-retained forensic expert, Kolowski, until July
6, 2017. 
109. The Series, however, states that “[up]on their arrival into the U.S., the bones were
handed off to forensic expert Dr. Jason Kolowski to conduct testing.”
110. Kolowski delivered the bone fragments to a third-party lab (the “Laboratory”) on
the same day, July 6, 2017.
111. On August 10, 2017, prior to the next scene in the Series, Dave contacted Beth
and advised that he and Ward may have discovered Natalee’s “remains.”
112. During this call, Dave advised Beth that “remains” were discovered in Aruba, and
that DNA analysis has shown that the remains are “human female remains” from a “single
individual” of “Caucasian Eastern European origin.”  Dave further advised that the remains are
at least ten years old – the general timeframe that Natalee disappeared. 
113. Accordingly, no later than August 10, 2017, Defendants had informed Dave that
the Bone Fragments were human.
114. During this call and a subsequent text message of the same date, Dave asked Beth
for a DNA sample.
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 18 of 51
19 
115. On the same date, August 10, 2017, Kolowski telephoned Beth to confirm the
discovery and analysis of the remains.
116. During this call, Kolowski advised that there would be no gray area – the results
of Beth’s DNA compared to the human remains would either be a match or a full exclusion. 
Kolowski further stated that the analysis would be complete within 30 days.
117. On August 11, 2017, Kolowski contacted Beth via text and overnighted a DNA
kit to Beth.
118. Neither Dave nor Kolowski disclosed Defendants’ involvement to Beth.
119. Kolowski initially instructed the Laboratory on July 6, 2017, to process all four
Bone Fragments together into one extract, rather than examine each of the four Bone Fragments
individually.
120. Later, on August 11, 2017, Kolowski delivered to the Laboratory the remaining
portions of the four Bone Fragments for individual testing. 
121. On August 12, 2017, Beth received, completed, and returned the DNA kit to
Kolowski. 
122. The next event depicted in the Series was a meeting between Dave, Ward, and
Kolowski on August 17, 2017, at least one week after Dave was already informed of Kolowski’s
findings.
123. Defendants convey in their Series that this is the first time that they and their paid
participants, Dave and Ward, learn the results of the DNA testing. 
124. It is during this August 17, 2017, meeting that Defendants convey to their viewers
that:  (1) some or all of the Bone Fragments are human; (2) the Bone Fragments belong to a
Caucasian of European descent; and (3) that Beth’s DNA is needed to definitively determine
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 19 of 51
20 
whether the Bone Fragments belong to Natalee.
125. However, as set forth above, Kolowski had already conveyed the results of this
initial DNA testing to Defendants and Dave at least a week prior to the August 17, 2017,
meeting.   
126. Accordingly, the August 17, 2017, meeting in the Series was not an unscripted
documentary as conveyed by Defendants.
127. In keeping with Mr. Kramer’s allegations in the Kramer Matter, Defendants
staged this scene to appear as though it occurred in real-time when, in fact, it was preconceived.
128. Beth was unaware that the purported “remains” were merely four Bone Fragments
found in a Ziploc bag by Madrigal and Ludwick until she watched the Series itself.
129. Then, in its last episode, the Series shows a meeting between Kolowski, Ward,
and Dave on September 11, 2017, wherein Kolowski conveyed additional results of the DNA
testing.
130. During this scene, Kolowski and Defendants convey that they were expecting one
of three possible outcomes:  a match, inconclusiveness, or a full exclusion. 
131. Defendants further conveyed that “we are not seeing a match, but [Kolowski is]
not prepared to call this a full exclusion yet” because they only had access to the DNA profile
obtained from the combined sample of all four Bone Fragments rather than each of the four Bone
Fragments being tested individually. 
132. Defendants, through Kolowski, convey that the testing is “comfortably”
inconclusive. 
133. This was the sixth and final episode of the Series and aired September 23, 2017. 
134. Defendants concluded their Series without divulging the results of the DNA
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 20 of 51
21 
testing.
135. Defendants received a written report from the Laboratory on September 22, 2017,
stating, among other things, that the results for the Purported Human Bone Fragment were “not
reportable.”
136. Accordingly, Defendants knew prior to the publication of their last episode that
they could not match the Bone Fragments to Natalee.
137. In fact, Defendants knew all along that they could not match the Bone Fragments
to Natalee as soon as they received confirmation that the Bone Fragments did not contain human
nuclear DNA, and thus that they had to rely on mitochondrial DNA.
138. Accordingly, Defendants received no new information from which they could
have determined that the Bone Fragments did or did not belong to Natalee after they aired their
final episode claiming that the testing was “inconclusive.”
139. Nonetheless, rather than stating that the results were “inconclusive” as was aired
to the world and to Beth specifically, Kolowski’s final report, issued September 30, 2017, stated
that the fact that the combined bone DNA sequence did not match Beth’s was “the first proof of
an exclusion.”
140. Kolowski’s final report further stated that the fact that the remaining three Bone
Fragments were determined not to be human “is the second and final proof of exclusion.”   
141. Further, the Laboratory reports relied upon by Kolowski and Defendants also
stated that the sample was suitable for exclusion purposes only. 
142. Accordingly, Defendants and Kolowski knew that they would not be able to
compare the Bone Fragments to Beth’s DNA to obtain a match, i.e., determine that they had
found Natalee’s remains, because the mitochondrial DNA was not of sufficient quality according
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 21 of 51
22 
to the Laboratory.
143. In truth, despite their representations to Beth, in the Series, and in the media,
Defendants never had a DNA sample from which they could determine whether the Bone
Fragments were Natalee’s remains.  As set forth above, mitochondrial DNA cannot provide a
genetic match to a particular person.
144. In truth, despite their representations to Beth, in the Series, and in the media,
Defendants knew prior to concluding their Series that the Bone Fragments did not belong to
Natalee. 
145. In truth, despite their representations to Beth, in the Series, and in the media,
Defendants knew prior to filming their Series that they would not find Natalee because the Series
was pre-conceived and was not a real-time investigation discovering new facts.
146. Defendants had the results necessary to confirm that the Bone Fragments did not
belong to Natalee no later than September 11, 2017, but chose to publish to the world and to
Beth that the results remained “inconclusive.”
147. Defendants did not disclose the results of the DNA testing until October 2, 2017,
via their website, Oxygen.com.
148. On October 2, 2017, Defendants admitted that they did not discover Natalee’s
remains.
149. Defendants attempted to delay their receipt of the Laboratory’s findings – that
they had not discovered Natalee’s remains – so that they could continue to hype their Series as
having discovered Natalee’s remains, and to maximize their ratings and profits. 
Publication of the Articles
150. Between August 16, 2017, and September 21, 2017, Oxygen further published via
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 22 of 51
23 
their website Oxygen.com seven absurd, grotesque, and knowingly false articles regarding the
manner of Natalee’s death and the desecration of her remains.
CAUSES OF ACTION
COUNT ONE:  FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION AND SUPPRESSION 
151. Beth reasserts and incorporates by reference paragraphs 2-19, 36-49, and 68-145
of this Complaint as if fully restated herein.
152. Defendants obtained Beth’s DNA through her reliance on their fraudulent
misrepresentations and suppressions made with an intent to deceive.
153. Defendants lured Beth in with false, omitted, and misrepresented information, and
later used Beth’s DNA on their Series without her permission (or seeking her permission).
154. Defendants claimed to have found “human female remains” when, in fact, the
remains they had in their possession were pig bones.
155. As set forth in paragraph 14, Defendants also misled their own retained DNA
consultant, Kolowski, as to the origin of the Bone Fragments, who Defendants “kept out of the
loop of the origin of the bone samples on purpose.”
156. August 10, 2017, was the first time Beth was told by anyone that Dave and Ward
were pursuing this lead into Natalee’s disappearance.
157. On August 10, 2017, Dave contacted Beth by telephone to advise Beth that he and
Ward had discovered “human female remains” in Aruba. 
158. On August 10, 2017, Dave contacted Beth to ask that she provide a DNA sample
for forensic analysis to determine if the human female remains he and Ward discovered were, in
fact, Natalee’s remains. 
159. Upon information and belief, Dave contacted Beth on August 10, 2017, at the
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 23 of 51
24 
direction of Defendants and in furtherance of their business. 
160. Defendants did not disclose to Beth prior to her delivery of her DNA that her
DNA results would be broadcast to the world for Defendants’ benefit. 
161. Defendants knew that to continue their Series – which was set to air less than ten
days after they sought Beth’s DNA – they needed Beth’s DNA to give the appearance of
determining whether the Bone Fragments were Natalee’s. 
162. On August 10, 2017, to induce Beth into providing her DNA, Defendants, by and
through their agent Dave, misrepresented to Beth material facts regarding the origins and
circumstances of their purported discovery of Natalee’s remains. 
163. Defendants knew, or should have known, that by making such misrepresentations,
they would raise Beth’s hopes and prayers for the return of her daughter and closure to this
tragedy.  Indeed, Defendants forced Beth to wait through six episodes of the most heinous
descriptions of what happened to her daughter, and let Beth suffer through it. 
164. Defendants knew, or should have known, that they would destroy those hopes and
prayers because they knew they could not return Natalee or her remains.
165. On August 10, 2017, to induce Beth into providing her DNA, Defendants, by and
through their agent Dave, misrepresented to Beth that they may have discovered Natalee’s
remains.   
166. As set forth herein, Defendants knew that they had not discovered Natalee’s
remains prior to contacting Beth. 
167. On August 10, 2017, to induce Beth into providing her DNA, Defendants, by and
through their agent Dave, misrepresented to Beth that the discovery of the remains was a
spontaneous, rather than pre-planned, event.
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 24 of 51
25 
168. As set forth herein, Defendants’ Series and its resolution was scripted. 
169. On August 10, 2017, to induce Beth into providing her DNA, Defendants, by and
through their agent Dave, misrepresented to Beth that the remains they discovered were “female”
remains. 
170. Defendants knew that the DNA testing they had conducted could not determine
gender.
171. On August 10, 2017, to induce Beth into providing her DNA, Defendants, by and
through their agents Dave and Kolowski, misrepresented to Beth that the DNA sample in their
possession could be matched to Beth.
172. As set forth herein, and upon information and belief, Defendants knew that their
DNA samples were “below the limit of detection” and ultimately could be used “for exclusion
purposes only.” 
173. As set forth herein, the mitochondrial DNA test employed by Defendants is
incapable of “matching” the Bone Fragments to Natalee even if they had pristine,
uncontaminated bone fragments.
174. On August 10, 2017, to induce Beth into providing her DNA, Defendants, by and
through their agent Dave, misrepresented to Beth that the remains were discovered in a “grave
site” near Ludwick’s relative’s home. 
175. As Defendants knew, the Bone Fragments were not discovered in a “grave site.” 
Instead, just four Bone Fragments were discovered in a small hole in the ground at the foot of a
fence in a plastic Ziploc bag. 
176. Defendants, including through their agents Dave and Kolowski, consciously
failed to disclose to Beth that the persons who “discovered” the Bone Fragments were paid for

to be continued...


Title: Re: Natalee Holloway/Stephany Flores Case Discussion #869 3/20/2015 -
Post by: texasmom on November 17, 2018, 11:41:15 AM
Sorry y'all, I've been trapped in update hell!  PDF froze so I didn't have a choice.   ::MonkeyWaa::

Continued from above and one more to come, Pages 26-46 of Beth's amended complaint:

their participation in the Series.
177. Defendants, including through their agents Dave and Kolowski, consciously
failed to disclose to Beth that the persons who “discovered” the Bone Fragments were unable to
lead Defendants to any remains during the first, second, and fourth searches for her remains. 
178. Defendants, including through their agents Dave and Kolowski, consciously
failed to disclose to Beth that the persons who “discovered” the Bone Fragments did so by
themselves with no third-party corroboration.
179. Defendants, including through their agents Dave and Kolowski, consciously
failed to disclose to Beth that the persons who “discovered” the Bone Fragments found the
remains on their first solo attempt, with minimal effort, hardly buried, in a seemingly fresh
Ziploc bag that would have supposedly had to have been buried for approximately seven years. 
180. Defendants, including through their agents Dave and Kolowski, consciously
failed to disclose to Beth that the persons who “discovered” the Bone Fragments demonstrated a
total lack of credibility.
181. Defendants, including through their agents Dave and Kolowski, consciously
failed to disclose to Beth that Defendants themselves questioned the credibility of the persons
who “discovered” the Bone Fragments because their story changed multiple times.
182. Defendants, including through their agents Dave and Kolowski, consciously
failed to disclose to Beth that Ludwick admitted to being addicted to heroin at the time he claims
to have disposed of Natalee’s remains. 
183. Defendants, including through their agents Dave and Kolowski, did not disclose
to Beth that Defendants, or any major television network, were in any way involved in the
discovery of the remains. 
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 26 of 51
27 
184. Rather, Beth understood that Dave and Ward conducted their own independent
investigation, thereby giving Defendants’ “discovery” of human “female” remains an aura of
credibility that would not have been present had Beth known it was a project for profit. 
185. Beth was unaware that the Series or any major television network was filming a
series regarding Natalee until after she provided her DNA to Defendants.
186. Defendants did not disclose to Beth prior to her delivery of her DNA sample that
same would be used in Defendants’ Series.   
187. Defendants made each of the above lies, misrepresentations, and omissions with
the intent to deceive Beth into providing her DNA.   
188. Defendants knew and had special reasons to expect that Beth would be influenced
by their lies, misrepresentations, and omissions, because of Beth’s relationship to Natalee and
her ongoing search to discover what happened to her daughter. 
189. Defendants, through their agent Dave, Beth’s ex-husband, maintained a
confidential relationship with Beth. 
190. Relying on Defendants’ lies, misrepresentations, and omissions, Beth provided
her DNA to Defendants, hoping and believing it would lead to the discovery of her daughter’s
remains.
191. As a direct result of Defendants’ lies, misrepresentations, and omissions, Beth
began to hope and believe that her daughter had been found.
192. Defendants had not found Natalee, and they knew or should have known that they
had not found Natalee, prior to their publications to the contrary directly to Beth.
193. Beth’s provision of her DNA furthered Defendants’ business and Defendants’
Series.
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 27 of 51
28 
194. Defendants profited and otherwise derived a benefit from Beth’s provision of her
DNA. 
195. Upon information and belief, Defendants instructed Dave and Kolowski to obtain
Beth’s DNA for the purposes of their Series.
196. All acts and omissions of Dave and Kolowski were undertaken in the normal
course and the furtherance of Defendants’ business.
197. Upon information and belief, Defendants had the right and ability to control the
manner and means of Dave’s and their other paid participants’ investigation into Natalee’s
disappearance and the location of her remains, including by: (1) determining when episodes
could be filmed; (2) determining where and when the paid participants could travel during the
investigation; (3) furnishing the equipment, vehicles, plane tickets, and lodging used by the paid
participants in the investigation; (4) determining what persons would be available to assist in the
investigation; (5) determining the plot of each episode; (6) financing the DNA testing; and (7)
financing the investigation and the Series.
198. Upon information and belief, Defendants had the right and ability to control Dave
and Kolowski through their contractual terms, including by scripting and/or plotting the Series
for Dave and Kolowski to carry out.
199. Upon information and belief, Defendants had the right and ability to control Dave
and Kolowski through their contractual terms, including by requiring that they perform the scope
of work specified in the contracts, and that they do so in furtherance of Defendants’ business. 
200. Upon information and belief, Defendants had the right and ability to control Dave
and Kolowski through their contractual terms, including by requiring confidentiality regarding
the production of the Series and its events.
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 28 of 51
29 
201. Upon information and belief, Defendants had the right and ability to control Dave
and Kolowski through their contractual terms, including by withholding payment to Dave and
Kolowski as paid participants.
202. Upon information and belief, Defendants had the right and ability to control Dave
and Kolowski through their contractual terms, including by withholding payments necessary to
finance the Series and its investigation into the discovery of Natalee’s remains.
203. Dave and Kolowski acted within the scope of their authority and for Defendants’
benefit when they contacted Beth on August 10, 2017.
204. Defendants demonstrated their authorization and ratification of Dave’s and
Kolowski’s actions by seeking an interview from Beth after she submitted her DNA under false
pretenses.
205. Defendants demonstrated their authorization and ratification of Dave’s and
Kolowski’s actions by utilizing Beth’s DNA in their Series without seeking or obtaining her
permission. 
206. Defendants demonstrated their authorization and ratification of Dave’s and
Kolowski’s actions by attempting to surreptitiously, without Beth’s authorization, film
Kolowski’s telephone call to Beth revealing results from the DNA testing. 
207. Defendants further demonstrated their authorization and ratification of Dave’s and
Kolowski’s actions by themselves misrepresenting the circumstances of the discovery and chain
of custody of the remains to Kolowski.  In particular, Defendants misinformed Kolowski
regarding the circumstances of the discovery of the Bone Fragments by misrepresenting and
omitting:  (1) that Ludwick and Madrigal discovered the Bone Fragments by themselves; (2) that
Ludwick and Madrigal discovered the Bone Fragments without any of Defendants or their agents
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 29 of 51
30 
present; and (3) that the chain of custody had been broken. 
208. Indeed, Defendants actively participated and intended the fraud upon Beth by
lying to Kolowski about the origin of the Bone Fragments.  See ¶¶ 14, 155. 
209. Kolowski’s contract was with Defendant BGM.   
210. Upon information and belief, Kolowski communicated principally with Defendant
BGM regarding how the Bone Fragments were discovered, but Oxygen participated in those
communications as well.
211. Defendants fraudulently misrepresented and suppressed facts with an intent to
deceive, and thereby induced, Beth into providing her DNA to Defendants for their benefit.
212. Defendants knew, should have known, or recklessly disregarded that their
fraudulent misrepresentations would cause Beth severe emotional distress.
213. As a direct and proximate cause of Defendants’ fraudulent misrepresentations to
Beth, Beth has suffered severe emotional distress and corresponding physical distress. 
214. Defendants demonstrated their knowledge when their paid participants uttered,
among other things, the following statements and images indicating their awareness of the effect
Defendants’ actions would have on Beth:
a. “He knows his daughter his dead.  But to hear about what happened to her remains and what they did to her afterwards – no parent should have to hear that.” 
b. “I’m not gonna get my family involved and get their hopes up high and knowing that we’re gonna have to develop this thing for months, and I finally said, T.J, if anyone takes the fall, it’s going to be me.” 
c. “We’ve had so many disappointments throughout the past and you are always thinking ‘is this the great big con?’ . . . My ex-wife, Natalee’s mother, Beth [does not know that we are going to New Orleans to investigate this lead.]  You just can’t put somebody through anticipation, anxiety, I realize now that I should have been a lot more protective of her emotions and all of our families’ emotion throughout this process, and I didn’t want to put her through that.”   
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 30 of 51
31 
215. Defendants fraudulently misrepresented the circumstances of their discovery of
the Bone Fragments and obtained Beth’s DNA with the intent to cause, or with reckless
disregard of a substantial probability of causing, Beth to suffer severe emotional distress. 
216. Defendants’ misconduct was willful and demonstrates that entire want of care that
raises a presumption of conscious indifference to consequences. 
COUNT TWO:  TORT OF OUTRAGE 
217. Beth reasserts and incorporates by reference paragraphs 2-19, 36-49, and 57-150
of this Complaint as if fully restated herein.
218. Defendants’ actions in creating and publishing the Series – individually and in
combination – are extreme, outrageous, and are not to be tolerated in a decent and civilized
society.
219. Defendants’ actions in creating and publishing the Series – individually and in
combination – caused Beth severe emotional distress, and Defendants knew or should have
known that Beth would so suffer.
220. Defendants claimed directly to Beth and in their Series that they found human
remains, but they were pig bones from the Pig Skull.
Obtaining Beth’s DNA Under False Pretenses
221. As set forth in Count One, for which paragraphs 152 through 216 are expressly
incorporated herein by reference because they lay the foundation for this particular claim for
emotional distress, Defendants consciously manipulated Beth into providing her DNA by
misrepresenting and omitting facts which, if truthfully disclosed, would have resulted in Beth’s
refusal to provide her DNA.

Defendants’ Publications Directly to Beth 
222. Defendants, by and through their agents Dave and Kolowski, made a number of
factual, false, and outrageous statements directly to Beth regarding their purported discovery of
human remains believed to be Natalee.
223. During the August 10, 2017, call, Defendants conveyed, among others, the
following factual, false, and outrageous statements either verbatim or in substance regarding
Natalee’s death and the desecration of her remains: 
a. Human remains were spontaneously discovered in Aruba; 
b. Natalee’s remains may have been spontaneously discovered in a grave site in Aruba; 
c. The spontaneously discovered human remains were “female”; and 
d. That what was discovered were “remains” rather than the Bone Fragments. 
224. The Bone Fragments were pig bones from the Pig Skull, not human – and
certainly not female – remains. 
Defendants’ Publication of the Series 
225. Defendants made an array of factual, false, and outrageous statements during the
course of their six-episode Series regarding the manner in which Natalee allegedly died and the
manner in which her corpse was allegedly desecrated. 
226. Defendants knew at the time they published such statements that they were false
and/or published such statements with reckless disregard for truth or falsity. 
227. During the Series, Defendants made, among others, the following factual, false,
and outrageous statements either verbatim or in substance regarding Natalee’s death and the
desecration of her remains: 
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 32 of 51

a. “Natalee started foaming at the mouth ‘cause she was overdosing” after Joran van der Sloot drugged her. 
b. Joran van der Sloot gave Natalee a date rape drug. 
c. Natalee “choked on her own vomit.” 
d. Joran van der Sloot’s father obtained a burlap bag to put Natalee’s dead body in but she would not fit, so van der Sloot “stomp[ed] on her legs, crack[ed] her legs, [and] puts her in the burlap and actually folders her over . . .” 
e. van der Sloot “dismembered” Natalee’s body before burying her initially to fit her in the burlap bag. 
f. van der Sloot buried Natalee in a national park. 
g. Joran van der Sloot told Ludwick that he would pay Ludwick “$1,500 to move the body, I’m gonna write up a little map and tell you where it’s at, so John goes the following night and he said it was only like three feet down, and [Ludwick] finally seen the little head of the burlap, I pulled it out and it had this decaying smell.” 
h. Ludwick puts Natalee’s body in the trunk of the car and “all the bones were just brownish, moldy and there was two inches of just black lard from the body when it decays on the bottom of the burlap, and her hair was there, and all the bones.” 
i. Reenactments of Natalee’s body being dug up in a burlap bag. 
j. “van der Sloot had a connection that his dad had at the morgue, so then John goes ahead and takes it and the body got cremated, everything in there got cremated, so he picks up all the ashes, he goes back to van der Sloot, they go, and it was low tide, and they just spread it.” 
k. “There should be DNA at the grave, at the national forest, and the aunt’s
car.” 
l. “I can take you to where I got the remains, but it’s not really in the national park.  It’s [the burial site] up at the top of a mountain, like not a mountain, a really big hill there that’s almost like a mountain, like houses are going all the way up this steep hill, the road just eventually dead ends, and it’s like a cul-de-sac where you can turn around.  But if you walk pas the cul-de-sac, there’s like a little path that takes you back in the desert where there’s cactuses and brush trees and sh** like that, and the second clearing of Mesquite tress to duck under and then you’re gonna see a freaking opening and then you’re gonna see a bunch of cactuses grouped together.  That’s where the f***ing sh** was hidden.  It’s actually only like a ten minute walk from my aunt’s house.”

34 
m. Joran said “I’ll give you a good amount of money if you do something for me.  It was like $1,500.”   
n. Ludwick went and “dug the body up” because he “needed the money.” 
o. The body “stayed in the trunk until the next day.” 
p. Joran van der Sloot’s dad helped Joran dispose of the body. 
q. “Once you dug it [the body] up, if you open the burlap, yeah you’re gonna have a musty odor of death.” 
r. Joran van der Sloot “went to his house and dug the dog up, he took the bones out, put the dog bones on top.” 
s. Ludwick “got it [the body] cremated and then brought it back.” 
t. At the crematory, Ludwick “went in there with $200 cash and said ‘this dog means a lot to me and freaking I don’t want anyone to be the last one to touch it except me.  If I give you $200 can I push it in there myself?’” 
u. “It’s not like we paid to get an urn made.  I mean, they just put [the ashes] in a big plastic bag.”   
v. It was a lot of ashes “because it was combined with the dog.” 
w. “It’s called desecration of human remains.” 
x. “You coulda thrown it [the ashes] in the ocean.  You coulda flushed it down the toilet.  I don’t give a sh**.” 
y. Video of Defendants, Madrigal, and Ludwick repeatedly searching for Natalee’s remains, with a cadaver dog and Aruban authorities. 
z. Although van der Sloot did not expressly state he “roofied” Natalee, he told Ludwick that “the combination of things [drugs] that [Natalee] was on, if they think we had sex and stuff, and they tested her, it could make it look like he tried to rape her.” 
aa. Joran van der Sloot “never said Paulus’s name, but he implied it was his father.” 
bb. Joran said “Paulus came and helped him figure out how to get rid of evidence.” 
cc. Joran said “his dad helped him cover it up . . . his dad got everything disposed of.  That before sunrise, he . . . there’s a cul-de-sac there, that uh, on the top of a
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 34 of 51
35 
hill, that it’s desert area, cactuses, and thorn bushes, and nobody goes up there.  The only house in view wouldn’t be able to stumble upon them, but it’s kind of like a mountain of boulders, not a mountain, but probably like 10, about 10-12 feet tall, and shaped kind of like this [motioning] with big boulders.” 
dd. Joran “knew I was heavily hooked on heroin at the time and I didn’t have the resources to keep it up daily.  So he was saying ‘I’ll give you $1,500 for your help.’” 
ee. Ludwick went by himself, without Joran van der Sloot, “under his instruction” to “dig the remains up.” 
ff. Joran van der Sloot went with Ludwick to “dig the remains up.” 
gg. Ludwick and van der Sloot went out to dig up Natalee’s remains “right at sunrise, like barely able to see.” 
hh. “The burlap sack was wrapped in a tarp, so it was kind of keeping stuff from seeping out, basically.” 
ii. The burlap sack had “a very nasty looking like blackish, brown, dried matter.” 
jj. “Originally he [van der Sloot] discussed getting it cremated, but that time it wasn’t legal but apparently some places would do it for pets.” 
kk. “The idea was to crush everything [Natalee’s skeleton] to the point where it was not recognizable as arm bones or skull or anything like that.” 
ll. “The only thing that got burnt was the skull to burn the hair fibers; it was doused in gasoline in a fire pit in a cave.” 
mm. The cave “was about 150 yards right of my aunt’s property.” 
nn. Ludwick and van der Sloot “pummeled [Natalee’s body] throughout a few hours.” 
oo. “We paid a local fisherman to borrow his boat for the night” to dispose of Natalee’s remains.” 
pp. “I feel bad that if I had the opportunity for [Beth and Dave Holloway] to recover the remains that I let that slip through the cracks.  Now they’re never going to be able to bury her.  I was obsessed with my friendship at the time and I was under the influence of heroin.”   
qq. Video of Ludwick and Madrigal allegedly uncovering Natalee’s remains. 
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 35 of 51
36 
rr. Video of the Bone Fragments themselves. 
ss. “This is Natalee’s . . . part of her remains.” 
tt. Ludwick and van der Sloot “broke everything [Natalee’s skeleton] up over there [Ludwick’s aunt’s house] and then they both went and they buried your daughter’s bones in the pet cemetery where the rest of her remains are at.” 
uu. “After [Ludwick] and Joran crushed up the bones, they put them in a box along with dog bones, mixed them together, buried them in a pet cemetery, [and] John held back a few pieces as a trophy so to speak.” 
228.  Defendants’ conduct was further outrageous in that they published to Beth and
their viewers that the Series was an “unscripted,” “true crime” “documentary” of a “real time
investigation.”   
229. In truth, as set forth above, Defendants’ Series was preconceived and scripted.
230. In truth, Defendants’ Series found pig bones from the Pig Skull, not human
remains.
231. Accordingly, Beth was forced to watch a six-part Series, hanging on every word,
believing it to be real, when in fact the Series was a farce. 
232. Defendants’ conduct was further outrageous in that Defendants concluded their
Series without disclosing the results of the DNA testing on the Bone Fragments.
233. Defendants conduct was further outrageous in that Defendants contradicted the
DNA results that they already had in their possession prior to the conclusion of their Series. 
Oxygen’s Publication of the Articles 
234. Between August 16, 2017, and September 21, 2017, Defendants published at least
seven articles containing false and outrageous statements describing the manner of Natalee’s
death and the alleged desecration of her corpse. 
235. After discovering the existence of Defendants’ Series, Beth became extremely
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 36 of 51
37 
hopeful of discovering Natalee and began following Oxygen, its Series, and its media
publications closely.
Article 1
236. On August 16, 2017, Oxygen published a false and outrageous article entitled:
NATALEE HOLLOWAY’S DAD REVEALS INVESTIGATORS HAVE UNCOVERED HUMAN REMAINS IN NEW INTERVIEW 
237. A true and correct copy of the August 16, 2017, article published to Oxygen.com
is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference (“Article 1”).
238. Publication of Article 1 and the following false statements and images contained
therein constituted extreme and outrageous conduct:
a. Article 1 linked to a marketing video for the Series stating, among other things, that “the body was right here” and showing images of a body in a burlap sack being exhumed. 
b. “. . . human remains have been found.”   
c. “The informant’s friend was friends with suspect Joran van der Sloot, and new information led them to a home where human remains were dug up.  The remains were tested, and they tested positive for human remains.  It’s not yet clear who the remains belong to, however.”   
d. “In the new Oxygen crime series, ‘The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,’ premiering Saturday, August 19 at 7pm ET/PT, viewers will follow Dave and T.J. Ward . . . in the latest and, perhaps, final chapter of the decade-long pursuit to uncover what really happened to Natalee.  The series reveals what could be the most credible lead to date:  a first-hand account from a man who claims to know the whereabouts of his daughter’s remains. 
Article 2
239. On August 21, 2017, Oxygen published a false and outrageous article entitled:
4 CRUCIAL DETAILS TO KNOW ABOUT THE NEW LEAD IN THE NATALEE HOLLOWAY CASE 
240. A true and correct copy of the August 21, 2017, article published to Oxygen.com
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 37 of 51
38 
is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference (“Article 2”).
241. Publication of Article 2 and the following false statements and images contained
therein constituted extreme and outrageous conduct:
a. “Joran van der Sloot allegedly paid him [Ludwick] $1,500 to get rid of the
body.” 
b. “. . . Van der Sloot reached out to the lead, asking him to help get rid of Holloway’s dead body.” 
c. “. . . Joran offered to give him $1,500 to help dig up the body in Aruba’s national forest and dispose of the remains.” 
d. “He believes Natalee overdosed.” 
e. “Gabriel also alleges in the first episode of the docuseries that the new lead revealed how Natalee really died.  According to the new account, Van der Sloot had given her a drink that may have contained drugs before taking her to the beach.  While on the beach, Natalee allegedly began foaming at the mouth and choking on her own vomit.  When she died, Van der Sloot called his dad to ask for help disposing of the body.”   
Article 3
242. On August 24, 2017, Oxygen published a false and outrageous article entitled:
DNA TESTING PROVES BONES FROM NATALEE HOLLOWAY SEARCH ARE FROM A SINGLE HUMAN OF CAUCASION, EUROPEAN DESCENT 
243. A true and correct copy of the August 24, 2017, article published to Oxygen.com
is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein by reference (“Article 3”).
244. Publication of Article 3 and the following false statements and images contained
therein constituted extreme and outrageous conduct:
a. “Forensic scientist tells Oxygen.com that testing can’t reveal gender, but a conclusive answer is expected sometime in September.” 
b. “At least one of the bone fragments discovered is ‘from a single individual,’ Kolowski, who is pictured below, tells Oxygen.com.  ‘They are human, and they are of Caucasian, European descent.’  Natalee, who was declared legally dead in 2012, was also Caucasian and of European descent.”

Article 4
245. On September 2, 2017, Oxygen published a false and outrageous article entitled:
FRIEND OF JORAN VAN DER SLOOT SAYS HE WAS PAID TO DIG UP NATALEE HOLLOWAY’S REMAINS AND CREMATE THEM 
246. A true and correct copy of the September 2, 2017, article published to
Oxygen.com is attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and incorporated herein by reference (“Article 4”).
247. Publication of Article 4 and the following false statements and images contained
therein constituted extreme and outrageous conduct:
a. “No body or remains have ever been found, but a sting operation in Episode 3 of the show reveals shocking footage that could lead to a break in the case.” 
b. “JORAN VAN DER SLOOT’S FRIEND CLAIMS HE WAS PAID $1,500 TO DIG UP NATALIE’S [sic] REMAINS AND CREMATE THEM” 
c. “. . . John Ludwick told [Madrigal] he was paid $1,500 to dig up Natalee’s remains and have them cremated.  ‘I can take you to where I . . . I got the remains,’ says John during the sting operation on episode 3.  John then describes in great detail that Natalee had been buried up a steep hill and past a cul-de-sac near a bunch of cactuses in the desert.  ‘That’s where the f***ing shit was hidden,’ he said.”   
d. “Asked if the body smelled after he dug it up, John answered:  ‘Yeah once you dug it up, if you opened the burlap, you’re going to have the musty odor of death.’  John also claimed Joran put dog bones on top of Natalee’s remains, presumably to throw off future investigations, before John took Natalee’s remains to a crematorium.” 
e. “‘I went in there with $200 cash,’ explained John.  ‘And said, ‘this dog means a lot to me and, freakin’, I don’t want anyone to be the last one to touch it except me.  If I give you $200 can I push it in myself?’” 
f. “Asked if he felt remorse, John answered callously that he did not.  ‘It didn’t happen to my kid,’ said John.  ‘Could have thrown it in the ocean, coulda flushed it down the toilet.  I don’t give a shit.’” 
Article 5
248. On September 8, 2017, Oxygen published a false and outrageous article entitled:
MEET THE FORENSIC SCIENTIST WHO’S HELPING IN THE
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 39 of 51

SEARCH FOR NATALEE HOLLOWAY’S REMAINS 
249. A true and correct copy of the September 8, 2017, article published to
Oxygen.com is attached hereto as Exhibit 5 and incorporated herein by reference (“Article 5”).
250. Publication of Article 5 and the following false statements and images contained
therein constituted extreme and outrageous conduct:
a. “Dr. Jason Kolowski explains how he traveled to Aruba to help identify potential burial sites and how he’s testing the DNA of discovered bone fragments for a possible match to Natalee Holloway.” 
b. “The show previously showed footage of John Ludwick, a friends of primary suspect Joran van der Sloot, saying he was paid $1,500 to dig up Natalee Holloway’s remains in 2010 and have them cremated.  In the clip above, from episode 4, which airs Saturday at 7/6c and 9/8c, TJ Ward wants to know whether John’s description of the condition of the remains would be accurate for a body that had allegedly been buried in 2005.” 
c. “According to John, a burlap bag contained blonde hair and there was a musty odor.  When he pulled the bag up there was some dark fluid that settled back into the ground.  ‘Everything that is described as far as the disinterment of the remains in 2010 fits with what we would expect for the normal decomposition of a human body, especially in this type of environment and this type of a locale,’ says Dr. Kolowski.” 
d. “As Oxygen.com recently reported, at least one of the four bone fragments that are ultimately discovered through TJ Ward’s investigation on the show came from a single human of Caucasian, European descent—just like Natalee.” 
Article 6
251. On September 16, 2017, Oxygen published a false and outrageous article entitled:
JORAN VAN DER SLOOT’S FRIEND SAYS THEY BURNED NATALEE HOLLOWAY’S SKULL IN A CAVE 
252. A true and correct copy of the September 16, 2017, article published to
Oxygen.com is attached hereto as Exhibit 6 and incorporated herein by reference (“Article 6”).
253. Publication of Article 6 and the following false statements and images contained
therein constituted extreme and outrageous conduct:
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 40 of 51
41 
a. “‘The only thing that got burned was the skull to burn the hair fibers,’ says Joran’s friend.  ‘It was doused in gasoline in a fire pit in a cave.’” 
b. “In episode 5 of ‘The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway,’ John Ludwick, who is a friend of Joran Van der Sloot, claims on video that he and Joran burned Natalee’s skull in a cave in Aruba.”   
c. “In the clip above, John has agreed to talk after an informant working with TJ recorded him saying that Joran Van der Sloot paid him $1,500 to dig up Natalee’s body.”   
d. “Asked where he took the remains, John says Joran had initially discussed having them cremated.  While it was illegal to bring in human remains to be cremated, John says that some morgues in Aruba would cremate pets.” 
e. “‘The idea was to crush everything to the point where it wasn’t recognizable as her bones or skull or anything like that,’ says John, explaining that he and Joran spent hours pummeling the bones.” 
f. “Natalee’s skull was also apparently burned in this process.  ‘The only thing that got burned was the skull to burn the hair fibers,’ says John.  ‘It was doused in gasoline in a fire pit in a cave.’” 
g. “Bone fragments discovered during the new investigation by Dave Holloway and TJ Ward are currently in a lab for DNA testing.  The forensic scientist leading the charge, Dr. Jason Kolowski, told Oxygen.com at least one of the bone fragments is from a single individual.  ‘They are human, and they are of Caucasian, European descent,’ he said.  Natalee, who was declared legally dead in 2012, was also Caucasian and of European descent.” 
Article 7
254. On September 21, 2017, Oxygen published a false and outrageous article entitled:
THE LATEST ON THE NATALEE HOLLOWAY DNA TESTING 
255. A true and correct copy of the September 21, 2017, article published to
Oxygen.com is attached hereto as Exhibit 7 and incorporated herein by reference (“Article 7”).
256. Publication of Article 7 and the following false statements and images contained
therein constituted extreme and outrageous conduct:
a. “These bone fragments were discovered as part of an investigation being chronicled on Oxygen’s ‘The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.’” 
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 41 of 51
42   
b. Images of the alleged bone fragments belonging to Natalee Holloway. 
c. “Pictured are four bone fragments currently being tested for a possible match to Natalee Holloway . . .” 
d. “As Oxygen.com recently reported, at least one of the bone fragments discovered through an investigation chronicled on ‘The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway’ came from a single human of Caucasian, European descent.” 
e. “The bone fragments were recently discovered in Aruba during an 18month investigation conducted by Natalee’s father, Dave Holloway, and his private investigator, TJ Ward.  John Ludwick, a friend of longtime suspect Joran van der Sloot, claimed he was paid $1,500 in 2010 to dig up Natalee Holloway’s remains and have them cremated.  In a disturbing interview with TJ Ward, John claimed that he and Joran pummeled the bones for hours and burned Natalee Holloway’s skull in a cave before he took them to a morgue.” 
f. “‘The idea was to crush everything to the point where it wasn’t recognizable as her bones or skull or anything like that,’ said John, explaining that it was illegal to bring human remains to a crematorium but not those of a pet.  John said that Joran mixed in dog bones with Natalee’s remains.  John then took them to a morgue and paid someone $200 cash to allow him to cremate what he claimed was his beloved pet.  John also told TJ Ward that he and Joran paid a fisherman to borrow his boat and then spread the ashes at sea.” g. “‘Beth’s would be exactly the same as Natalee’s [DNA] or any of Beth’s other children,’ explains Dr. Jason Kolowski.  Final results of the testing should be completed by October 6, at the latest.  If any of the bone fragments turn out to match Beth’s mitochondrial DNA, the 12-year search for Natalee’s remains will be over.” 
257. Articles 1 through 7 are collectively referred to as the “Articles.” 
Falsity
258. Defendants’ publications in their Series and in Oxygen’s Articles (hereinafter,
“Defendants’ Publications”) were false.
259. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because they never
recovered human remains and never had a reasonable basis to claim to Beth or in their Series that
they had recovered human remains.  Rather, Defendants recovered pig bones.
260. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because Defendants never
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 42 of 51
43 
possessed a DNA sample from which they could “match” the Bone Fragments to Natalee. 
Mitochondrial DNA simply cannot do that.  It can exclude or include, but it cannot match.
261. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because whether Natalee is
alive or dead is unknown.
262. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because if Natalee is dead,
the location of her remains is unknown.
263. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because Defendants did not
find Natalee’s remains.
264. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because the manner in which
Natalee died, if she died, is unknown.
265. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because whether Natalee’s
body, if she died, was cremated, buried, or otherwise disposed of is unknown. 
266. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because where Natalee was
buried, if she was buried, is unknown. 
267. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because whether Natalee’s
body has ever been exhumed, if she died, is unknown.
268. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because whether Natalee’s
corpse, if she died, has ever been desecrated is unknown. 
269. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because the Bone Fragments
did not belong to Natalee. 
270. The statements in Defendants’ Publications are false because Defendants could
not prove through DNA analysis whether the Bone Fragments belonged to Natalee, as the DNA
samples obtained from the Bone Fragments were suitable for “exclusion purposes only.” 
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 43 of 51
44 
271. The fact that what happened to Natalee remains, to a large extent, unknown, does
not mean that Defendants’ Publications are not false.  Rather, if Defendants’ Publications were
true, what happened to Natalee would no longer be unknown.
272. Moreover, it is known that Defendants did not have in their possession human
remains as they claimed to Beth and in the Series, and there therefore exists a substantial
probability that each of Defendants’ claims is false.  The Series did not find Natalee nor reveal
any new evidence as to what happened to Natalee. 
Actual Malice
273. Defendants’ Publications were made with actual malice in that Defendants
knowingly and recklessly made numerous factual, false, and outrageous statements regarding
their purported discovery of Natalee’s remains, the purported manner in which Natalee died, the
purported resting place from which Natalee was purportedly exhumed, and the purported heinous
means by which Natalee’s corpse was desecrated. 
274. Defendants’ Publications were made with actual knowledge of falsity or with
reckless disregard for truth or falsity. 
275. Defendants knew prior to publishing Defendants’ Publications that their Series
was scripted, that the discovery of the purported remains was preconceived, and that the Series
therefore was not an “unscripted” “true-crime” “documentary.” 
276. Defendants knew or recklessly disregarded prior to publishing Defendants’
Publications that they had not discovered any human remains, much less Natalee’s remains.
277. Defendants were told by Aruban authorities that the Bone Fragments were animal
bones, and yet Defendants declared that the Bone Fragments were human via a test that was
incapable of doing so and with Bone Fragments known have been handled by Ludwick.
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 44 of 51
45 
278. Defendants knew or recklessly disregarded prior to publishing Defendants’
Publications that they had not discovered Natalee’s remains. 
279. Defendants knew prior to publishing Defendants’ Publications that Natalee’s
death was not confirmed.
280. Defendants knew prior to publishing Defendants’ Publications that the manner in
which Natalee died, if she is dead, is unknown.
281. Defendants knew prior to publishing Defendants’ Publications that the location of
Natalee’s remains, if she is dead, is unknown. 
282. Defendants knew prior to publishing Defendants’ Publications that the manner in
which Natalee’s body was disposed of, if she is dead, is unknown.
283. In publishing Defendants’ Publications, Defendants knowingly relied upon
sources known to them to be unreliable, lacking credibility, and untrustworthy. 
284. In publishing Defendants’ Publications, Defendants knowingly relied upon
sources known to them to be unreliable, lacking credibility, and untrustworthy without obtaining
any independent verification or corroboration of the statements those sources made.
285. In particular, Defendants relied upon Madrigal and Ludwick as their key sources
for Defendants’ Publications. 
286. Defendants had clear and compelling reasons to doubt the veracity of Madrigal
and Ludwick and the truth or accuracy of their uncorroborated false factual statements regarding
Natalee’s death, her burial, her exhumation, and the desecration of her remains. 
287. Madrigal and Ludwick’s story changed significantly during the course of the
Series.  The changes included, among others:  (1) how Natalee died; (2) who initially disposed of
Natalee’s body; (3) where Natalee’s body was initially buried; (4) who was present when
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 45 of 51

Natalee’s body was exhumed; (5) where Natalee’s body was exhumed; and (6) after being
exhumed, whether Natalee was cremated and tossed in the ocean or her remains buried in a pet
cemetery. 
288. Madrigal and Ludwick were unable to identify where Natalee’s remains were
purported buried during the first, second, and fourth searches with Defendants present.
289. Madrigal and Ludwick purported to discover the Bone Fragments easily and by
themselves without any independent corroboration. 
290. Madrigal and Ludwick were highly unlikely to incriminate themselves in criminal
conspiracies amounting to, among other possible charges, desecration of human remains and
accessory to murder after the fact. 
291. Upon information and belief, Ludwick is a known drug user.   
292. Madrigal possessed no independent knowledge of any events described in the
Series; he “knew” only what Ludwick told him.
293. Upon information and belief, Madrigal and Ludwick were paid by Defendants to
make the outrageous claims on which Defendants relied in Defendants’ Publications.

Remainder of page 46-51 of Beth's amended complaint

294. Defendants, in fact, harbored serious doubts as to the truth of the information they
chose to publish.  Defendants’ own paid participants in the Series repeatedly expressed their
belief that Madrigal and Ludwick were liars.  For instance, Defendants’ cast stated the following
during the Series:
a. Ludwick’s “story changed and that’s concerning.  Why would he lie about all that stuff; I mean why would he fabricate an entire story.”  
b. Madrigal and Ludwick are “bulls*** artist(s)”  
c. “I know John [Ludwick] has lied a number of times.”  
d. “Maybe he [Ludwick] hasn’t taken us to the right place [grave site].”
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 46 of 51
47  
e. “Fully expected that John [Ludwick] planted those bones.”  
f. “If he was involved, is this just little bits and pieces of truth, or is it just a complete lie?  That is the big question mark here.”  
g. “I still can’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt that John is lying.”  
295. Defendants’ knew prior to publishing the Articles that Madrigal and Ludwick
were not reliable sources.  
296. Yet, Defendants failed to conduct a reasonable investigation of the false and
outrageous statements made in Defendants’ Publications prior to publishing same.
297. Indeed, Defendants consciously avoided discovery of the truth by intentionally
delaying the DNA results so that Defendants could publish their Series and Articles with
plausible deniability at the time of publication.  
298. Defendants consciously elected to publish Defendants’ Publications prior to
receiving the Laboratory reports so that they could continue to market their Series to the public
(and to Beth) as discovering Natalee.  
299. As set forth herein, the timeline shows that Defendants consciously avoided
discovery of the truth by intentionally delaying the DNA results so that they could claim
plausible deniability at the time of publication.  
300. Ludwick and Madrigal advised Defendants that they discovered the Bone
Fragments on April 25, 2017.
301. Approximately seven weeks later, Dave and Ward obtained the Bone Fragments
from Aruban Authorities on June 14, 2017.
302. Defendants did not provide the Bone Fragments to their already-retained forensic
expert, Kolowski, until July 6, 2017.
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 47 of 51
48  
303. The last episode of the Series was aired September 23, 2017.
304. The last scene involving Kolowski in the Series is dated September 11, 2017.
305. In that scene, Kolowski and Defendants published that a match to Natalee’s
remains is possible.  
306. Defendants knew that they could not match, but only exclude, the Bone
Fragments to Natalee with the DNA sample in their possession.
307. In that scene, Kolowski and Defendants publish that the results of the DNA
testing remain “inconclusive.”  
308. In truth, Defendants already knew prior to the conclusion of the Series that the
DNA analysis showed “the first proof of exclusion.”  
Damages
309. Defendants’ misconduct – through obtaining Beth’s DNA, making false
statements directly to Beth, and publishing false statements via the Series and the Articles –
raised Beth’s desperate hopes for the discovery of her daughter.  
310. Defendants’ misconduct truly made Beth believe that she could finally lay
Natalee to rest.  
311. Defendants’ misconduct forced Beth to wait in hope for nearly two months that
Natalee had been found (August 10, 2017 to October 2, 2017).
312. Defendants forced Beth to hear, watch, and read gruesome and false statements
regarding how Natalee died and how her body was thereafter desecrated.
313. Defendants’ misconduct is extreme, outrageous, and goes beyond all possible
bounds of decency.  
314. Defendants’ misconduct cannot be tolerated in a civilized society.  
Case 2:18-cv-00176-KOB   Document 23   Filed 07/31/18   Page 48 of 51
49  
315. Defendants intended to, knew, should have known, or recklessly disregarded that
their conduct would, cause Beth grievous emotional injury.
316. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ misconduct, Beth suffered severe
emotional distress and associated physical distress of such intensity that no person could be
expected to endure it.
317. Defendants’ misconduct was willful, reprehensible, and demonstrates that entire
want of care that raises a presumption of conscious indifference to consequences.  
318. In Beth’s own words, Defendants misconduct “completely and utterly destroyed
me.”
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Elizabeth Ann Holloway, demands:
(a) A trial by jury;
(b) That judgment be entered against Defendants, jointly and severally where
applicable, for compensatory damages in an amount not less than $20 Million
($20,000,000.00);
(c) That judgment be entered against Defendants, jointly and severally where
applicable, for punitive damages to punish and deter Defendants in an amount not less
than $30 Million ($30,000,000.00);
(d) That judgment be entered against Defendants for attorneys’ fees, costs,
and interest; and
(e) Such other relief as this Court deems equitable, just, and proper.

Natalee Holloway's mother asks judge to reject Oxygen's motion to dismiss lawsuit
by Stephen GallienTuesday, May 8th 2018

FILE - In this June 8, 2010, file photo, Beth Holloway, mother of Natalee Holloway, speaks during the opening of the Natalee Holloway Resource Center (NHRC) at the National Museum of Crime & Punishment in Washington. Beth Holloway said on NBC's "Today" show Monday, August, 29, 2016, that justice hasn't been served in her daughter's death. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File)

The mother of Natalee Holloway wants a federal judge to reject a media company's motion to dismiss her federal lawsuit.

Elizabeth Holloway's response to the dismissal motion by Oxygen Media claims the alleged conduct was fraudulent and outrageous and has no place in a civil society.

Holloway filed a $35 million dollar lawsuit against Oxygen Media over the six part series "The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway."

Her lawsuit claims the series contained gruesome depictions of Natalee's death and that the defendants obtained Elizabeth Holloway's DNA under false pretenses.

Oxygen Media claimed first amendment protection in asking the judge to dismiss the lawsuit.

Three clips from an interview with Dave from October. 
(Irritates me that they are still implying that they found human remains in Aruba.  ::MonkeyNoNo::  ::MonkeyMad::)
Probably irritates the Aruban authorities too, since they were more than likely telling the truth for once.  How ironic is that?!!!   ::MonkeyDevil::

What Dave Holloway Believes Happened to His Daughter

Originally aired on 10/30/2018

Dave Holloway gives insight into what he thinks happened to his daughter Natalee. He emphasizes how the drug world in Aruba could’ve played a part in the murder mystery. Plus, he shares about his many visits to Aruba to search for Natalee's remains.

GUESTS: Jonathan Hernandez , Dr. Charles Bernick , Dave Holloway , T.J. Ward

Telling... 

from end of the third clip

Quote
Dr. Oz:  What does Beth not understand about your intentions with the search for Natalee's remains?

Dave Holloway:  You know, I have no idea, I've not talked to her about it other than the fact we had a discussion when dna was needed and we spoke for quite some time about that and she was very willing to give that to finally hopefully get closure.

Dr. Oz apparently did a show with Dave and TJ too, but I haven't found a recording of it anywhere yet.

Van der Sloot hopes for Dutch cell

PUBLISHED ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 1, 2018 08:59

Peru has rejected a request from Joran van der Sloot to be able to serve his sentence due to qualified manslaughter on a Peruvian girl in the Netherlands. He has not yet paid a fine of about 50,000 euros, writes De Telegraaf.

Second chance
Van der Sloot now collects money for that fine and hopes for a second chance. If the fine was paid, he would be eligible for the return scheme.

According to De Telegraaf, he recently transferred from the very isolated and elevated Challapalca prison to the somewhat lower Juliaca. That place is also in the south of Peru, there is also a cold mountain climate. The prison is overpopulated. According to De Telegraaf, Van der Sloot has to share his cell with fourteen others, while the cell is meant for six people.

28 years
Van der Sloot has a sentence of 28 years because of the manslaughter on Stephany Flores. He made a request through the Dutch embassy in the context of a WOTS scheme (Transfer of Execution of Penal Sentences Act). Van der Sloot would receive a sentence converted to Dutch law of a maximum of 18 years. He would then also be able to use the conditional release scheme, which would shorten his sentence by a few years. He has been in Los Angeles for 8.5 years since the murder of Flores in May 2010.

Incidentally, there is another investigation into money laundering by Van der Sloot's wife. If he himself was suspected or convicted in that case, he can not claim a WOTS decision for the time being.

A criminal prosecution wanted by the United States for facts in the case of the girl who disappeared in Aruba, Natalee Holloway, is separate from the WOTS regulation. The US can request its extradition both in the Netherlands and in Peru.

Dutchman again under heavy fire in Peru

Joran van der Sloot suspected in money laundering case

By JOHN VAN DEN HEUVEL

01 Nov. 2018 in the Netherlands


LIMA - Joran van der Sloot is under attack from justice in Peru. The murderer of Peruvian woman Stephany Flores, condemned to 28 years in prison, is suspect in a new criminal investigation into money laundering. Van der Sloot, along with his girlfriend Leidy, would have squeezed three and a half tons of criminal money.

Van der Sloot received that amount from the suspicion thanks to a Dutch henchman, who lit online casinos with an ingenious system. According to justice in Peru, Joran's girlfriend and mother of his child, Leidy Figueroa, mainly profits from criminal profits.

The woman, who comes from a poor neighborhood in Lima, now lives in a spacious apartment in a luxury district of the Peruvian capital. Joran van der Sloot, who is also still suspected of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in 2005, denies everything.

Oxygen Media Can’t Duck Lawsuit From Natalee Holloway Family


DANIEL JACKSON  January 8, 2019

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (CN) – A federal judge denied a motion by Oxygen Media and Brian Graden Media to dismiss a suit alleging they intentionally inflicted emotional distress upon Natalee Holloway’s mother and committed fraud when they acquired her DNA during their six-part series investigating her daughter’s disappearance in Aruba.

On Monday, Chief U.S. District Judge Karon Bowdre denied the motion to dismiss brought by the companies that produced “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.” In a 26-page memorandum opinion, Bowdre said Natalee’s mother, Beth Holloway, “sufficiently alleged facts” that make her tort of outrage complaint plausible.

In the opinion, Bowdre wrote it was plausible Oxygen and Brian Graden Media acted with actual malice and thus their series and the articles they published are not protected by the First Amendment, even though Beth Holloway is a public figure.

“Suffering offense from truly insulting conduct is sometimes an unfortunate fact of life, so the law understandably hesitates to impose money damages for causing emotional distress in the minds of others,” Bowdre wrote. “But, in very limited circumstances, the law recognizes extremely egregious conduct that no person should be expected to endure without some sort of civil justice. This case plausibly presents such outrageous conduct.”

In Holloway’s amended complaint filed July 2018, she asked the court to award her $20 million in compensatory damages and $30 million in punitive damages.

Natalee Holloway’s 2005 disappearance from a senior class trip to Aruba attracted international media attention.

According to Holloway’s original complaint which was filed February 2018 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway” aired in 2017 and was billed as a true-crime documentary. However, Beth Holloway alleged the show was scripted and lied about details of Holloway’s disappearance.

According to Bowdre’s opinion, Holloway argued the show’s producers were told the bones that they acquired in Aruba were animal remains but told her they discovered human remains when they asked for a sample of her DNA.

In a statement to Courthouse News, Taylor Wilson, partner at Atlanta-based L. Lin Wood P.C. praised the “well-reasoned decision” that came down in favor of his firm’s client.

“As the years have gone by since Natalee’s 2005 disappearance,” Wilson said, “some members of the media have continued to ratchet up the sensationalism in their efforts to entertain while Beth has continued her struggle to cope. … [T]here are constitutional limits to the media’s right to entertain and what families must endure in these situations, and that that constitutional line was crossed here.”

Since the judge issued the opinion, both sides will begin increasing their discovery, according to Wilson.

Attorney Harlan Prater IV wrote in the motion to dismiss brought by Oxygen and Brian Graden Media that a 2011 Supreme Court case involving Westboro Baptist Church showed that the First Amendment is a defense against claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress.

“As an initial matter,” the motion to dismiss said, “there is no doubt that the Series and the Articles are core expressive speech about an issue of deep public concern: Natalee’s disappearance and possible murder. … Because the Series and the Articles addressed matters of public concern, they are presumptively shielded by the First Amendment against civil liability.”

Lead attorney for Oxygen and Brian Graden Media, John Thompson, Jr. of Birmingham-based firm Lightfoot Franklin & White did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday afternoon.

Lin Wood Goes to Bat for Families of JonBenét Ramsey, Natalee Holloway

Wood confidentially settled a $750 million defamation suit against CBS and secured a favorable order in Alabama in an ongoing case against Oxygen Media.
By R. Robin McDonald | January 09, 2019 at 03:57 PM

Atlanta libel lawyer L. Lin Wood said he notched a settlement against one television network and a preliminary win against another over TV specials featuring unsolved crimes—cases that he said should serve as a warning to other media companies.

In civil cases associated with two of the most sensational unsolved crime mysteries of the past two decades, Wood on Jan. 4 consummated a settlement agreement in a $750 million defamation case against CBS and on Jan. 7 secured a favorable ruling from an Alabama judge who refused to dismiss a fraud and outrage case against cable crime network Oxygen Media.

Wood confirmed that he reached a confidential settlement with CBS in a 2016 defamation case he filed on behalf of Burke Ramsey, the older brother of slain 6-year-old child beauty queen JonBenét Ramsey. In Alabama, Wood represents Beth Holloway, the mother of 19-year-old Natalee Holloway, who disappeared during a high school trip to Aruba in 2005 and whose body has never been found.

Wood filed the Ramsey and Holloway lawsuits after the networks revisited JonBenet’s slaying and Natalee Holloway’s disappearance in multipart television retrospectives intended to appeal to a growing audience for sensational crime stories.

“In an era of fake news, in continually deteriorating discussions of issues on social media and the Internet, these cases are vitally important to send a message to the public that there are lines you cannot cross without being held legally accountable,” Wood said.

Fraud and Outrage Claims

In the Alabama case, Chief Judge Karon Owen Bowdre of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama denied Oxygen Media’s motion to dismiss Holloway’s fraud and outrage claims stemming from the cable network’s alleged ruse in securing her DNA in 2017 by leading her to believe her daughter’s missing body had finally been found. An outrage claim, while extremely limited, allows for the recovery of damages for emotional distress that was either intentional or reckless and so severe that no reasonable person could be expected to endure it.

“Even the most deeply wounding conduct rarely gives rise to civil liability for the tort of outrage,” Bowdre wrote in her order. “Suffering offense from truly insulting conduct is sometimes an unfortunate fact of life, so the law understandably hesitates to impose money damages for causing emotional distress in the minds of others. But, in very limited circumstances, the law recognizes extremely egregious conduct that no person should be expected to endure without some sort of civil justice. This case plausibly presents such outrageous conduct.”

“The First Amendment does not protect against a claim for outrage brought by a public figure if the publication contains a false statement of fact which was made with actual malice, i.e., with knowledge that the statement was false or with reckless disregard as to whether or not it was true,” Bowdre added. “Ms. Holloway has alleged facts showing that defendants plausibly acted with actual malice.”

Wood partner Taylor Wilson called Bowdre’s ruling “well-reasoned” and “a huge victory” for Holloway, adding Oxygen Media “crossed the line.”

“Media efforts to profit off the tragic disappearance of Natalee must end,” he said. “As the years have gone by since Natalee’s 2005 disappearance, some members of the media have continued to ratchet up the sensationalism in their efforts for ratings and money.”

Oxygen Media lawyers John Thompson of Birmingham, Alabama, firm Lightfoot Franklin & White, and Cameron Stracher of Westport, Connecticut, could not be reached for comment.

Wood said he sued on Holloway’s behalf after she was persuaded to supply a DNA sample, allegedly because a friend of a suspect in her daughter’s disappearance had produced bone fragments that were supposedly her daughter’s from an Aruba burial site. In reality, the fragments were from a boar’s head, according to the complaint. “They failed to disclose who had discovered the bones, that the Aruban authorities had declared the bones to be animal bones or that Beth’s DNA would be used on television,” Wood said.

“I don’t believe there is any mother of a missing child who ever gives up hope that her child will be found or, at least, her body will be discovered,” Wood said. “Every mother clings to the belief, however slim or however long, that her child will be found.” To “dangle the prospects in front of Natalee’s mother that they may have found Natalee’s body and then to solicit her DNA” constitutes “the type of outrageous, egregious conduct that civilized society cannot and should not tolerate,” Wood said.

Inside a 'Making a Murderer' Lawsuit and the Hidden Dangers of TV's True-Crime Craze
by Rebecca Keegan  January 17, 2019, 6:00am PST

 ::snipping3::

There have been multiple lawsuits associated with NBCUniversal-owned Oxygen's battery of true-crime shows, including a case that an Alabama judge allowed to proceed this month over the 2017 miniseries The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Holloway vanished in 2005 while on a high school graduation trip to Aruba, and the six-part series includes the discovery of what supposedly were her remains. Holloway's mother, Beth, sued Oxygen and the show's producers for intentional infliction of emotional distress — she provided a DNA sample to an investigator for the testing of the bones, unaware that the sample would be part of a television series that followed her ex-husband's quest to solve Natalee's disappearance. Beth alleges that the producers knew all along the bones were from animal remains — a pig's head. (Oxygen declined to comment on ongoing litigation.)

"The folks doing these true-crime series need to adhere to the first word: true," says L. Lin Wood, the Atlanta attorney whose firm represented both the Ramseys and Beth Holloway. "If they want to suggest conclusions or make accusations, then they better damn well be sure they've got facts, not exaggerations."

Hi Monkeys! I’m still, and always, checking in.
This post is from 3/11/2018. Should’ve heard more by now.

https://trome.pe/actualidad/policiales/joran-der-sloot-mujer-investigados-lavado-activos-video-102595?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Organic&utm_campaign=joran-der-sloot-mujer-investigados

Translation:

Leidy Figueroa Uceda, wife of the Dutch Joran van der Sloot (31), sentenced to 28 years for the murder of Stephany Flores in 2010, could also end up in prison.

The reason is that the Office of the Money Laundering Prosecutor of Lima would request his arrest in the investigation for the crime of money laundering that he faces together with the father of his son, who is being held in the Challapalca prison in Tacna. Both are investigated for allegedly having laundered 350 thousand dollars.

It was learned that Figueroa Uceda has been summoned to testify before the Prosecutor's Office on several occasions, but apparently has not come.
The investigations of this case began after a chain of casinos denounced Joran van der Sloot and another Dutch citizen for fraud. According to this company, the murderer and his compatriot manipulated the games, earning large amounts of money.


BANK ACCOUNT

Part of those amounts would have been deposited to the account of Figueroa Uceda, who after marrying Joran proceeded to buy a luxurious apartment and two cars, the latter two sold for $ 17,000.

However, the aforementioned property does not appear registered in the National Superintendency of Public Records on behalf of the European's wife, but on behalf of a third person. Only the two vehicles registered with their identity.

THAT'S THE THING
- Joran van der Sloot met his victim, Stephany Flores, at a Miraflores casino in 2010. He then took her to a hotel, where he beat her to death and stole her belongings.

- They believe that he moved 350 thousand illegal dollars with his partner, who acquired a luxury apartment and two cars.

Beth Holloway & Jaycee Dugard speaking at fundraiser for The Red Barn

February 28, 2019 at 7:48 PM CST - Updated March 1 at 10:36 AM

LEEDS, AL (WBRC) - The Red Barn in Leeds is a lot more than just a horse farm. The work that happens there everyday with horses is transforming the lives of children and adults who have physical disabilities or special circumstances.

“They are herd animals," explained Joy O’Neal, the Executive Director of The Red Barn. “The ways we communicate with them, and the ways they teach us to communicate changes the way you see yourself.”

O’Neal said one child she has enjoyed watching come into her own over the past few years is a little girl who was born blind and has a cognitive impairment. By working with horses, that little girl is now doing things other children her age can’t do, which O’Neal said is amazing to watch.

“You just see all those little bitty transformations in her life,” said O’Neal. “Now she make noises when she wants the horse to walk on. She’s learned a little bit of sign language as well to be able to say ‘more,’ like she wants to keep going.”

According to O’Neal, this little girl’s story is just one of many she witnesses everyday.

“They’re able to overcome maybe some of their fears and anxieties and they realize if they want their horses to walk, they have to speak up,” O’Neal continued. “You have that sense of belonging. You’re together, working together with your horse, you’re strengthening your body, you’re getting exercise, you’re loved and surrounded by people who care and want the best for you.”

O’Neal said horses are great for children and adults physically because of the balance, strength, and coordination it takes to ride them.

On Friday, March 8, The Red Barn is holding a fundraiser luncheon called “What Horses Can Teach Us” between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at The Club in Birmingham. Beth Holloway, Jaycee Dugard, and Dr. Rebecca Bailey are among the main speakers.

“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” explained O’Neal. “These three folks have never spoken together before.”

Holloway, whose daughter Natalee disappeared in 2005, will be talking about the role horses have played in her life.

"Horses have really kind of shaped her life and gave her a lot of the perseverance and grit she needed to get through some of the most difficult things that any parent can imagine, and that’s the loss of your child,” said O’Neal.


Dugard has also used horses to help her overcome traumatic experiences in her life. In 1991, Dugard was 11 years old when she was abducted while walking from her home in California to her school bus stop. She was imprisoned for nearly two decades before she was freed in 2009 at the age of 29. Part of the money raised by the luncheon will go to The JAYCE Foundation, founded by Dugard.

“In my own life, I have seen horses transform myself, and how I think about my own relationships with others," said O’Neal.

That’s why she believes the stories that will be told at “What Horses Can Teach Us” are so important for people to hear.

"Just that ability to know and connect with an animal is something that’s amazing, and we’re just so blessed to be able to give children that opportunity,” said O’Neal.

If you are interested in attending the luncheon, O’Neal said the sooner you get your ticket the better. You can find out more information by going to theredbarn.org.

Gwinnett DA asks judge to step aside amid hacking claims, GBI probe
Politics April 01, 2019
By Tyler Estep, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter has taken the extraordinary step of asking a local judge to recuse herself from more than 400 criminal cases being prosecuted by his office.

Porter argues that the judge’s claims that he hacked her computer — and the GBI investigation that her subsequent actions triggered — raise questions about her ability to be impartial at the bench.

Porter vehemently denies having tried to access Superior Court Judge Kathryn Schrader’s computer.

The filing last Friday asking Schrader to be removed from all current and future cases brought by his office is just the latest twist in a complicated saga that also involves convicted child molester Ed Kramer, the co-founder of Atlanta’s popular DragonCon convention and a longtime Porter nemesis.

“The State does not file this motion lightly,” Porter wrote in his recusal motion. “However, given the circumstances described in the accompanying affidavit, Georgia law requires that it be filed in an effort to preserve the integrity of our courts and judicial system.”

Schrader, who was first elected in 2012, did not respond Monday to multiple inquiries from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It was not clear if she had an attorney.Gwinnett courts administrator Phil Boudewyns declined to comment on Schrader’s status following Porter’s request for recusal, but said the county was “cooperating fully with this ongoing criminal investigation.”

That GBI investigation is focused not on Schrader’s original hacking fears but on her purported actions in response to those fears — and whether or not they resulted in giving several unauthorized individuals access to the county’s larger computer network.

Those individuals include Kramer, whose unrelated Feb. 26 arrest brought the Schrader situation to the attention of Porter and other investigators.Kramer was arrested after allegedly taking a photo of a 7-year-old boy at a local doctor’s office several days earlier.  In addition to new charges, he was accused of violating the probation still in place following his 2013 conviction on multiple counts of child molestation.

A post-arrest search of Kramer’s home computers found a file labeled with Schrader’s name, Porter said.

“The idea that he would be allowed anywhere near the computer network of the courts, it’s just appalling,” Porter said.

According to court filings submitted by Porter and Kramer, Schrader hired private investigator TJ Ward in February to look into concerns that someone — perhaps Porter — was attempting to remotely access her work computer during non-business hours. It is unclear why Schrader suspected the district attorney. Porter said the original issues with Schrader’s computer were nothing nefarious and were resolved by the county’s IT department.

But Ward had a man named Frank Karic install a monitoring device to Schrader’s county-owned computer. Ward then tasked Kramer — whom he has employed as a computer forensic analyst — with keeping track of the activity.

Ward worked as a private investigator for the defense team in Kramer’s original child molestation case. Kramer has also claimed he helped Ward during his work with an Oxygen channel TV series about the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

In a motion to have Porter recused from his new criminal case, the oft-litigious Kramer contended that he had found “clear signs of … exploitive activity” on Schrader’s computer and was preparing a detailed analysis of his findings before he was arrested.

Kramer, who has been exiled for years from the popular sci-fi DragonCon festival he helped found, implied that Porter had him detained because of his work on Schrader’s behalf. Porter said his office wasn’t even aware of that work until Kramer’s computers were seized.

GBI spokeswoman Nelly Miles confirmed Monday that the agency’s investigation “into allegations of unauthorized access into the Gwinnett County network” began on March 11. Miles said the probe remained open and active but declined to comment further.

Gwinnett judge will step aside amid GBI probe, accusations against DA
Politics 5 hours ago
By Tyler Estep, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Gwinnett Superior Court Judge Kathryn Schrader will step aside from hundreds of cases involving the local district attorney’s office, her attorney told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The announcement comes a few days after District Attorney Danny Porter filed a formal motion asking Schrader to recuse herself from presiding over any case prosecuted by his office. Porter questioned Schrader’s ability to be impartial in such cases after learning that the judge had accused him of trying to hack into her computer — and then hired a private investigator to place a monitoring device on that county-owned computer. Those steps she took are the subject of a criminal investigation by the GBI, and has Porter concerned that unauthorized people — including the convicted child molester hired to keep tabs on Schrader’s device — could have been given illegal access to the county’s larger network.

Schrader has said nothing publicly about the situation but her attorney, B.J. Bernstein, issued a statement to The AJC on Tuesday. Bernstein wrote that Schrader “cares deeply for the justice system” and “respects legal due process.

“For that reason, since March 27, 2019, Judge Schrader has not presided over or acted on any criminal matter handled by the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s office,” the statement said. “Due to the current investigation she has requested another Judge handle her criminal calendars and will instead continue to work on civil matters that are not part of the work of the District Attorney’s Office.”Porter has denied trying to access Schrader’s computer, saying there was “no rational basis” for the judge’s fears.

He has, however, expressed deep concerns about the actions that purportedly resulted from those fears. The district attorney helped launch the GBI’s probe into Schrader and others after the arrest of Ed Kramer — the convicted child molester and longtime Porter nemesis.
::snipping3::
The agency is investigating whether a crime was committed by Schrader, Kramer, Ward or Frank Karic, the man reportedly responsible for installing the “WireShark.”Porter is now a witness in the case and has recused himself from the investigation.Schrader’s recusal, meanwhile, means a new judge or judges will have to handle the nearly 500 criminal cases over which she currently presides. Those cases are in various stages of the judicial process.It’s not clear if there will be other ramifications for the judge.Ben Easterlin is the director of Georgia’s Judicial Qualifications Commission, which oversees judicial conduct across the state. Easterlin said Tuesday he could neither confirm nor deny the existence of any complaints against Schrader, or if the JQC was involved in the matter in any way.

Full statement issued on behalf of Gwinnett Superior Court Judge Kathryn Schrader: “Judge Kathryn M. Schrader cares deeply for the justice system. She respects legal due process and wants the best for her Gwinnett County constituents and for the public at large that find themselves with matters in the Gwinnett Courts. For that reason, since March 27, 2019, Judge Schrader has not presided over or acted on any criminal matter handled by the Gwinnett County District Attorney office. Due to the current investigation she has requested another Judge handle her criminal calendars and will instead continue to serve on civil matters that are not part of the work of the District Attorney’s Office.”

GBI investigating ‘unauthorized access’ of Gwinnett computer network by convicted sex offender Ed Kramer
Kramer given access after Gwinnett judge allegedly suspected Gwinnett DA of hacking her computer
By Isabel Hughes

isabel.hughes@gwinnettdailypost.com

 Mar 28, 2019

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into allegations of “unauthorized access into the Gwinnett County (computer) network” by convicted sex offender and DragonCon co-founder Ed Kramer.

The GBI confirmed to the Daily Post on Thursday that its investigation began March 11, and that the probe “remains active and ongoing.”

While the agency did not give additional details, Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter told the Daily Post he was the one who called, and then wrote a letter, to GBI Director Vic Reynolds after learning that Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Kathryn Schrader “contacted Kramer and some kind of a device was installed on the county computer network.”


A Monday court filing by Kramer’s attorney, Stephen Reba, said Schrader reached out to private investigator T.J. Ward in early February because she suspected her computer was being hacked — and that Porter was behind it.

“From February 7th to 11th, 2019, various devices obtained solely for the purposes of investigation, including a device called a Wire Shark, were attached by Frank Karic, one of Ward’s forensic specialists, to Judge Schrader’s computer into the Gwinnett County Justice and Administration Center — with the Judge’s express permission,” the filing said. “…to ensure proper analysis, Ward put his computer forensic analyst, Defendant Edward E. Kramer, in charge of monitoring and analyzing the Wire Shark’s collected data.”

On Feb. 26, while Kramer was still monitoring Schrader’s computer and preparing “documentation for Judge Schrader to utilize in contacting federal authorities,” the filing said, he was arrested by Lawrenceville Police Department officers for allegedly photographing a young boy at a Lawrenceville doctor’s office.

According to a police report, officers were dispatched to Gwinnett Pulmonary Group after receiving a call that Kramer, after leaving a doctor’s appointment, remained in the check-out area and was watching the boy. Kramer is a registered sex offender who bears the Georgia classification of “sexually dangerous predator” for molesting three teenage boys about two decades ago.

As part of Kramer’s February arrest, officers, along with investigators in Porter’s office, seized Kramer’s computers and cellphone to look for the alleged photos of the boy. That’s when Porter realized Kramer had access to the county computer network.

“In the course of doing a forensic analysis of all of his computers, looking for a picture of a child, we came across data that might have been related to Judge Schrader’s computer,” Porter said. “We took it one step further and looked at the text messages off (Kramer’s) phone, and it became clear that Judge Schrader had contacted Kramer…. At that point, that’s when I called in the GBI.”

Porter — who said he doesn’t know if Schrader’s computer was ever being hacked in the first place — also told the Daily Post that during the course of his investigation, prior to calling the GBI, he “learned that she had had some technical problems but that they were handled by the county and the court IT department — said he has “no idea where she got any idea that I was hacking into her computer.”


“Of course, it’s (ridiculous) to think that I would do that,” Porter said. “I have better things to do than (monitor) what Judge Schrader has on her computer.”

Porter said he is concerned about what Kramer might have done with county computer access.

“There’s no doubt that he had access; they installed a device and they captured information off the network,” Porter said. “I don’t think the county has yet assessed the damage that could have been done, or has been done. I don’t know that there has been any, but the potential for entering in and changing records in my office or changing records at the tax office — he basically was able to obtain credentials that could have logged into any desktop in the county. … I think the possible damage is almost anything you can imagine.”

Porter also said while he doesn’t know what the GBI investigation has found, he’s sure that Kramer should never have been given access to the network.

“First of all, using a private IT consultant is a violation of the IT policy of the county, at the very least. So there should have been no way Kramer (had access),” Porter said. “Then, the judgment in using Kramer…it’s not like (the judge) didn’t know who he was. He’s pretty well-known.”


While the county and the GBI work to sort out the current mess — Gwinnett County Communications Director Joe Sorenson told the Daily Post the county’s IT department “has taken several steps to secure the network” — Reba is demanding Porter recuse himself from any matters involving Kramer, saying the district attorney “cannot possibly still prosecute Defendant in any matter and must be recused, along with said recusal being imputed to his office.”

The Monday court filing came a day before Kramer appeared in Magistrate Court for a probable cause/bond hearing for his Feb. 26 arrest. At the Tuesday hearing, a judge denied Kramer bond and determined there was enough evidence to remand the case over to Superior Court.

It’s not immediately clear what Superior Court judge will be assigned to Kramer’s case.

Schrader did not immediately respond to the Daily Post’s request for comment on Thursday.

Beth Holloway opens the 2019-20 Town Hall Lecture Series 
Sep 19, 2019

A message of hope, faith and personal safety continues to minister to people across the country as Beth Holloway shares her story.
 ::snipping3::
“It just humbles me to think it will be 15 years in May and people still care, people remember, and I think, I wonder why,” Holloway said. “In part, it may be because we still don’t have an answer.”

Sharing her story helped her work through the devastating experience, especially early on.

“I think to me, my means of reaching hope was with action behind it,” Holloway said. “So it was a cathartic experience for me to deliver that message.”

Her anger was intense during those days and months, and even years.

“At that point, I’ll be honest, I had so much anger and I was able to release a lot of that,” Holloway said. “I mean I was pounding the podium. I lived out of a carry-on suitcase for year after year after year. I hit it.”

She said wherever she was invited to speak, she went.

I really think it helped me release a lot of the bitterness, the hate and the anger,” Holloway said. “That was my platform.”

Holloway said she felt she received a lot of benefit from that time.

“But then it kind of shifted,” Holloway said. “The cathartic experience lasted for so long, and then I thought, I’m doing good work.”

Her hope is that those who hear her story take something with them.

“Now I want the audience to maybe walk away with one little thread of something they can go, ‘Wow, you know, I’m dealing with this,’ cancer, or maybe they’ve had the loss of a loved one too,” Holloway said. “So if I reach just one person in the audience I think it’s successful.”

The search for Natalee continues and there are still many unresolved issues in the case, but Holloway said that “closure” is not the word she likes to use.

“‘Closure’ is a pretty hard word to box yourself into,” Holloway said. “I think everybody views it differently and I think — I’m just guessing and I have to go on my opinion or personal feelings — but when they hear the word ‘closure,’ they might think someone’s trying to allude to the fact that well, you’re going to get closure because you’re going to get over the loss of losing your loved one.

“Well, you never get over the loss, so that word ‘closure’ tends to make one feel like they’re being put into a box in a corner.”

Instead of closure, she said, it’s about being able to move forward.

“You do move on and you do find joy and happiness again, but no one ever expects you to get over the loss of losing a loved one,” Holloway said.

Natalee Holloway would have celebrated 33rd birthday today
WVTM Updated: 7:20 PM CDT Oct 21, 2019

Natalee Holloway, the Mountain Brook teenager who disappeared in Aruba during her senior trip in 2005, would have celebrated her 33rd birthday today. She was declared legally dead in 2012.

A former suspect in the case, Joran van der Sloot, is currently serving a 28-year sentence for the murder of Stephany Flores in Peru. After that sentence is served, he'll be extradited to the United States to face extortion and wire fraud charges.

In 2018, Holloway's mother filed a lawsuit over a TV series about her daughter's disappearance.

Natalee Holloway would have celebrated 33rd birthday today
WVTM Updated: 7:20 PM CDT Oct 21, 2019

Natalee Holloway, the Mountain Brook teenager who disappeared in Aruba during her senior trip in 2005, would have celebrated her 33rd birthday today. She was declared legally dead in 2012.

A former suspect in the case, Joran van der Sloot, is currently serving a 28-year sentence for the murder of Stephany Flores in Peru. After that sentence is served, he'll be extradited to the United States to face extortion and wire fraud charges.

In 2018, Holloway's mother filed a lawsuit over a TV series about her daughter's disappearance.

Lawsuit over Natalee Holloway mini-series heading to trial in Birmingham
by Stephen Gallien
Wednesday, October 9th 2019

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBMA) — A federal lawsuit claiming the producers of a six-part series on Natalee Holloway intentionally inflicted emotional distress on the missing Mountain Brook teenager's mother appears headed for a trial in 2020.

A federal judge in Birmingham released a scheduling order in Elizabeth Holloway's lawsuit against Oxygen Media and Brian Graden Media that calls for the case to be ready for trial by next September.

Holloway filed the lawsuit against the media companies in February 2018 over the series “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway” which examined the teen's disappearance in 2005 near the end of a trip with fellow Mountain Brook High School seniors in Aruba.

In previous court filings, Holloway claims the media companies' alleged conduct was fraudulent, outrageous and has no place in a civil society.

Holloway argued the show’s producers were told the bones that they acquired in Aruba were animal remains but told her they discovered human remains when they asked for a sample of her DNA.

Holloway has asked the court to award her $20 million in compensatory damages and $30 million in punitive damages.

Family hires private investigator to solve island death

Crime Local News Top Stories
October 17, 2019 
Amanda Rose  anguilla, Eagle Point, island, southern Oregon

EAGLE POINT, Ore. — When Debinee MacPherson-Udall first heard her brother, Casey Pomeroy, died in a terrible accident in December of 2018… she couldn’t shake the feeling something wasn’t right.

“The medical professional we had read the death certificate told us… it goes along the lines that he was poisoned,” said MacPherson-Udall.

Debanee says her sister in law told them two couples were visiting them on the island to ring in 2019.

When they got back to the apartment, Pomeroy and his friend, Caleb, started having seizures.

“The friend had passed away and then my brother apparently passed away at the hospital,” she said.

But Caleb’s death certificate shows something very different.

“Asphyxiation, strangulation, both ligature and manual, multiple blunt force traumas, and seizures,” she said.

The inconsistencies in the story along with the more sinister possibility the two men were murdered are what drew private investigator, T.J. Ward, to the case.

“Something is totally wrong,” he said. “What they’re saying happened and what transpired.”

Ward has worked on a number of high profile cases including the disappearance of Natalee Holloway from Aruba in 2005.

He knows all too well how difficult it is to investigate a tragedy abroad.

“These kids and these young adults think everything is the same that they can do the same things here they can do over there which is totally wrong,” he said.

Ward says he, like Debanee, is struggling to put the pieces together and accessing information has been difficult.

“It’s not like it is here in the United States,” he said.

The next step, he says, is for the court to hold an inquest.

“There are four other witnesses in this case. They’ve been requested to return to the island which I doubt very seriously is going to happen,” Ward said.

Without an inquest and the testimonies of those involved, Ward says the road ahead is unclear.

But one thing’s certain, the family will continue to fight to keep the case alive and get justice for Casey.

“They know that we are on to the truth. That we’re uncovering what’s happening,” said MacPherson-Udall.

NBC5 News reached out to the Royal Anguilla Police Force to confirm whether the inquest has taken place and whether they have any comment on the case.

We have not heard anything back.

The family also tells us they’ve hired an attorney on the island.

The attorney says it’s uncommon to have an inquest if there is evidence of unnatural death or possible homicide. For that reason, he says he’s fighting to get a criminal investigation underway.

Murder in Paradise: Family Invokes Renown Private Investigator TJ Ward to Solve the Case of Casey Scott MacPherson
Pronounced dead December 30, 2018 on UK’s idyllic Island Harbor, Anguilla, actor/producer Casey Scott MacPherson, 37, had succumb to a fatal dose of MDA.

FRESNO, CA, US, August 21, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- “It doesn’t matter how famous you are,” quips T.J. Ward, the private investigator who has followed leads on The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway since 2005, “when a murder takes place on an island outside of the jurisdiction of the U.S., and tourism is at stake, no local authority will search for a perpetrator. It’s bad for business.” Pronounced dead December 30, 2018 on UK’s idyllic Island Harbor, Anguilla, actor and producer Casey Scott MacPherson and childhood friend Caleb Guillory, both 37, succumb to a fatal dose psychostimulant MDA (more commonly seen in its derivative form, MDMA, or “ecstasy”).

Known for The Perfect House (2013), The Bold and the Beautiful (2015) and The Hotel Barclay (2013), MacPherson and his wife, Barbara, packed up and left Fresno, California in 2018 for the Caribbean Island of Anguilla, where Casey could fulfill his lifelong dream to study medicine. Childhood friends Caleb Guillory and Chuck Gross, along with their wives, came to visit during Casey’s medical school winter break. As the six walked from the beach following dinner and drinks, Casey and Caleb became tragically ill; they were by ambulance to Princess Alexandra Hospital and pronounced dead a short time later.

Family friend, Kara Schacher, received a call from Barbara and booked a flight to the island to help them. She found the four survivors of the group locked in separate cells, lacking food and water, or any assistance or contact with the U.S. Consulate. In order to secure their release, the return of their passports, and the bodies of Casey and Caleb, they had agreed to accept a formal apology by the Island Commissioner for the “tragic accident.” The bodies were taken to the neighboring Island of St. Martins and cremated. Only then, the questions began.

According to Casey's father, Fresno radio producer Charlie MacPherson, “This wasn’t simply an accident. Casey was poisoned.” Moreover, the story of what happened that fatal evening kept changing. When Charlie found out that Casey’s life insurance was significantly increased prior to his move to Anguilla, the family contacted the U.S. State Department suspecting foul play, but documents were scarce, and his immediate family was not considered “next-of-kin.” Curious, Charlie asked, “What if the closest next-of-kin is the person who had the most to gain from Casey’s death?” The State Department refused to answer or take any further questions from MacPherson.

Charlie had been following the casework of private investigator T.J. Ward, who faced similar issues in Aruba after 18 year-old Alabama teen Natalee Holloway was drugged by a bartender at the request Joran Van der Sloot, a local Judge’s son – and godson of the Dutch island’s chief of police; the basis of a 2017 six-part series on NBC’s Oxygen Network, the location of Natalee’s body remains a mystery. According to Ward, “Nothing adds up about the deaths of Casey and Caleb. It’s quite clear the Royal Anguilla Police’s first priority was simply to make the deaths go away.”

Ward and his team of experts plan to return to the island to investigate, tasked with the duties not carried out by the island’s government or law enforcement, and outside the traditional reach of United States authorities. “These operations can be very dangerous, but there can be no closure until we bring to light why Casey and Caleb were killed.” A GoFundMe Campaign has been set up by the MacPherson family and friends. All funds will go toward the costs of the investigation. “We will be documenting our journey and investigation,” adds Ward, “and expect this case to be solved.”

T.J. Ward is President and CEO of T.J. Ward and Associates, an Atlanta-based international investigative agency solving high-profile cases for more than 35 years. To contact T.J. Ward directly with information on this case, call 404.932.4016 or Contact Us anonymously through TJWardPI.com. For media and television inquiries, contact Sharon Beck at 347.352.5332.

Parents of Missing Teen Aniah Blanchard Find Support With Natalee Holloway's Mom
November 7, 2019

EXCERPT


As the search continues for missing Alabama college student Aniah Blanchard, who hasn't been heard from in over two weeks, her distraught parents are finding comfort with the mother of another young woman who disappeared.

Aniah’s mother, Angela Harris, and her stepfather, UFC fighter Walt Harris, spent some time with Beth Holloway, whose daughter Natalee Holloway has been missing since 2005. Angela said she thinks Beth is going to be a “great support” for the family.

"I followed Natalee's case and I've always admired her for her strength — just thought she was an amazing lady," Harris told ABC News of Beth.  .....

Beth Holloway:

"In each city I have the privilege to speak to several high schools, churches, or law enforcement and civic groups.  This translates to thousands of youths and adults.  Delivering this safety message is my triumph over devastation.  If gives me great joy and is tremendously rewarding work.  I think that I can bear the pain of losing Natalee if it means that I can prevent another family from going through our tragic experience.  If even just one young person in tens of thousands is saved, then it's well worth it."

Missing Alabama college student's parents meet with mother of Natalee Holloway as new images show person of interest originally appeared on abcnews.go.com

The parents of a missing Alabama college student met with Beth Holloway, the mother of Natalee Holloway, on Wednesday -- the same day police in Auburn released new photos of a person of interest in the disappearance of the 19-year-old woman two weeks ago.

The images of the unidentified man were captured on surveillance cameras at the convenience store where Aniah Haley Blanchard was last seen on Oct. 23, according to the Auburn Police Division.

Investigators did not call the man a suspect, but said they wanted to identify him and speak with him in connection with Blanchard's disappearance. Police said he was in his early to mid 20s, weighing approximately 200 pounds and about 5 feet, 9 inches tall.

(MORE: Evidence found in car of UFC star's missing stepdaughter indicates foul play, police say)

He was seen wearing dark-colored pants, dark-colored shoes and a camouflage hooded jacket with "Vans" in white writing across the back. Additionally, he was observed leaving the area around the time when Blanchard vanished in what is described as a late-2000’s model Lincoln Town Car, silver or grey in color, the division said in a statement.

"As part of the ongoing joint investigation with the Auburn Police Division and the Montgomery Police Department into Aniah’s disappearance, investigators are seeking to identify the individual in the video and speak with him," the statement said.

Blanchard's mother, Angela Haley-Harris, and her stepfather, Walt Harris, spoke to ABC News on Wednesday just after meeting Beth Holloway for the first time. Natalee Holloway, who was also from Alabama, went missing in May 2005 on a trip to Aruba following her high school graduation and was never found. She is presumed dead.

"I followed Natalee's case and I've always admired her for her strength -- just thought she was an amazing lady," Haley-Harris told ABC News of Beth. "She's an amazing woman and I think she's going to be a great support for us."

Tim Miller, founder of Texas EquuSearch, an organization that helps in finding missing people, connected Holloway with the Harris family and is assisting in the search for Blanchard.


One of Haley-Harris' younger children previously died in a car crash, she said. But the feeling of Blanchard's absence has been different.Haley-Harris said, "I know what it feels like to lose a child, but the situation with Natalee, her disappearance and what Beth has gone through, I can't relate to that. No

w I can. I just feel like I needed her, I needed somebody who knows what I'm going through, what we're going through. ... I needed help, because this is such a rare situation."

Blanchard has not been seen since she was caught on surveillance video visiting the convenience store in Auburn's downtown area. Police believe she is a victim of foul play.

(MORE: Family of missing college student desperate for answers: 'She would never not contact somebody')

"We need her back; we have to have her back," Haley-Harris said.

"We can't live without her, we can't," she added.

The Southern Union State Community College student last communicated with a friend on Oct. 23, just before midnight, and her family reported her missing the following day.

When asked what would help a stranger identify Blanchard if she's seen in public, Harris smiled, and said: "That big head of hair, that beautiful smile. I mean, she lights up a room."

"She just keeps everybody upbeat and happy," Haley-Harris said. "She's just so much fun."

"I hate to say it, but this might be what got her into this situation. She was just so trusting of people, and I think someone may have just taken advantage of that," she continued.

Police said they found evidence in her vehicle that indicates that she may have been the victim of foul play. The vehicle, a black 2017 Honda CRV, was found abandoned near an apartment complex in Montgomery on Oct. 25. It had damage to the front left tire area, which is believed to have occurred between the time she was last seen and when the vehicle was found, according to police.

"This is a criminal investigation. Obviously, we're approaching it as such. I think the only right way to do it is to approach it as if foul play is involved and as if there is someone or more than one person involved in this,” Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes said at a press conference last week. “We do not believe Aniah would, or did, essentially go missing on her own volition."

(MORE: Natalee Holloway mystery, 10 years later: A timeline)

Her parents said rumors she was going to meet a date on the night she went missing are not true.

"We know that's not true because we were able to get into her accounts," Harris said. "There was no communication with anybody outside of myself and her [mother] through her actual phone. Her social media accounts didn't have any messages. The only person she was communicating with was her roommate."

Haley-Harris said the last messages from Blanchard to anyone were to her roommate over Snapchat in which she indicated she was with a guy she had just met. However, her mother does not believe Blanchard sent the Snapchat message because of "terminology" not consistent with her daughter, though she did not share specifics.

Crime Stoppers said the total amount of rewards offered is now $105,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in Blanchard's disappearance.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey issued a proclamation authorizing a $5,000 reward for information in the case. In addition, UFC President Dana White, UFC fighter Jon Jones and MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz each pledged $25,000 last week.

Her stepfather, Harris, is a prominent mixed martial artist and contender for the UFC heavyweight title. Harris had been preparing for a marquee UFC fight against Alistair Overeem on Dec. 7, but pulled out last week due to his stepdaughter's disappearance.

"That's what's getting us through, hundreds of friends and our family that's been there since the very minute they found out," Haley-Harris said. "The drove from all over to be there with us and we just want to say thank you to them and thank you to the Auburn community."

Elijah Blanchard, Aniah's father, appeared at a vigil for his daughter, thanked the community at a vigil in Birmingham Wednesday night.

"Whoever would have thought that this little girl named Aniah would pull so many hearts together as one," he said, according to Birmingham ABC affiliate WBMA.

Anyone with information on the person of interest's identity is being asked to call the Auburn Police Division Detective Section at 334-501-3140, the anonymous tip line at 334-246-1391 or the 24-hour non-emergency number at 334-501-3100.

Aniah Blanchard disappearance: Suspect charged with kidnapping, still at large

By Carol Robinson | crobinson@al.com
A Montgomery man with a history of arrests for violent crimes has been charged with kidnapping in the disappearance of Aniah Blanchard and is sought by police.

Ibraheem Yazeed, 30, has been charged with first-degree kidnapping in Blanchard’s disappearance. The U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force, along with other agencies, are actively searching for Yazeed. Authorities said Thursday that evidence shows Yazeed was at the same location where Blanchard was last seen and is believed to have taken Blanchard against her will. Investigators are looking into the possibility Blanchard was kidnapped during a carjacking.

Yazeed and several others were arrested earlier this year on charges of attempted murder, kidnapping and first-degree robbery in an incident that left a 77-year-old man severely beaten. Police said he should be considered armed and dangerous.

"It’s very concerning to know that someone who has committed that sort of crime was out and in our community,'' Auburn Police Chief Paul Register said at a Thursday news conference. “We think this is someone who should be in custody.”

On Thursday, a warrant was issued for Yazeed’s arrest on a charge of failure to appear in court on those charges. His $280,000 bond was revoked.

Family of Aniah Blanchard gets support from Beth Holloway with blue ribbons
Nov 9, 2019

EXCERPT


As police continue to search for 19-year-old Aniah Blanchard, the family is receiving a wide range of support from a mother whose child went missing in 2005.

Beth Holloway came to Auburn this afternoon putting up blue ribbons throughout the community. Holloway says this tragedy sticks with her because her 18-year-old daughter Natalee Holloway went missing on a trip to Aruba.

Ribbons were displayed at the Chevron gas station on South College Street and at the Evergreen student apartments where she lived.

Blue ribbons were taped to honor Blanchard’s favorite color. The director from the non-profit, Texas EquuSearch, Tim Miller, helped taped the ribbons.

Holloway says with posting the ribbons, she hopes Aniah is brought home soon.

As police continue to search for 19-year-old Aniah Blanchard, the family is receiving a wide range of support from a mother whose child went missing in 2005.

Beth Holloway came to Auburn this afternoon putting up blue ribbons throughout the community. Holloway says this tragedy sticks with her because her 18-year-old daughter Natalee Holloway went missing on a trip to Aruba.

Ribbons were displayed at the Chevron gas station on South College Street and at the Evergreen student apartments where she lived.

Blue ribbons were taped to honor Blanchard’s favorite color. The director from the non-profit, Texas EquuSearch, Tim Miller, helped taped the ribbons.

Holloway says with posting the ribbons, she hopes Aniah is brought home soon.

ABC NEWS’ ‘20/20’ CAMERAS EXCLUSIVELY DOCUMENT BETH HOLLOWAY’S EMOTIONAL RETURN TO ARUBA, HER FIRST EXTENSIVE VISIT IN NEARLY TEN YEARS AFTER HER DAUGHTER NATALEE DISAPPEARED
‘20/20’ Airs on Friday, Nov. 22 (9:00 – 11:00 p.m. EST), on ABC
 
A two-hour “20/20” exclusively travels to Aruba with Beth Holloway; her first extensive trip back to the island in nearly ten years after her daughter, Natalee Holloway, disappeared while on vacation there almost 15 years ago. ABC News’ “20/20” documents Beth’s emotional journey as she revisits places where she desperately searched for Natalee and reunites with Alberto Groeneveldt, who met her when she first arrived in 2005 and guided her around the island helping her try and find out what happened to Natalee. Beth also opens up to “20/20” about life now and reflects on her journey since Natalee disappeared. The program takes a look back at the case and dives into the dark history of Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee, who has never been charged and denies any involvement in her presumed death. “20/20” features an interview with John Q. Kelly, Beth’s attorney, who shares for the first time new details about the wire fraud and extortion case he helped build with the FBI that is pending against van der Sloot. “20/20” also journeys to Peru where van der Sloot is currently in prison for the 2010 murder of Stephany Flores, and features exclusive interviews with those close to the case including Juan Callan, lead homicide detective in the Flores murder investigation; brothers Williams Aparcana and Oswaldo Aparcana, whom van der Sloot hired to drive him across the border to Chile following Flores’ murder; and Jose Luis Jimenez and Maximo Altez, van der Sloot’s defense attorneys. The two-hour program also explores what van der Sloot’s future could hold when he is free again. ABC News’ “20/20” airs on Friday, Nov. 22 (9:00-11:00 p.m. EST), on ABC.

Too bad we can't give her the peace she so desires, Natalee's remains, so she can take her home. Keep praying. And never give up!!!!

Two brothers who unknowingly helped Joran van der Sloot flee the murder of a Peruvian woman by driving him into Chile recalled the hours-long ride with van der Sloot, who has long been suspected by Natalee Holloway’s mother of being responsible for her 2005 disappearance in Aruba.

Williams and Oswaldo Aparcana, both of whom are taxi drivers in Peru, told “20/20” in an exclusive interview that van der Sloot had been rushing them as they drove him overnight to the city of Tacna, near the Peru-Chile border, in 2010.

“He would always ask, ‘Where are we? How long do we have?’” said Oswaldo Aparcana, adding that “because he was in a hurry, he didn’t want us to stop.”

Unbeknownst to the brothers, van der Sloot had beaten Stephany Flores to death on May 30, 2010, exactly five years to the day after 18-year-old Holloway, who was from Alabama, went missing while celebrating her high school graduation in Aruba.

One Letdown After Another: Natalee Holloway’s Unsolved Disappearance and All the Twists That Went Wrong


When shards of bone were discovered in Aruba a few years ago, Dave Holloway hoped against hope that DNA testing would prove the remains were of his daughter, Natalee Holloway, who went missing in 2005 while on a high school graduation trip to the Caribbean island. It would be sad, and it would be disturbing, but at least it would be an answer in a case that remains largely composed of questions.

It took a year and a half of working under the radar with the help of an informant to locate the spot where the remains were found, behind a house that had been previously mentioned over the course of the sporadically eventful investigation. ::snipping3::

“Out of the four individual bone samples only one was found to be human,” forensic scientist Jason Kolowski, who tested the samples, explained to Oxygen, which chronicled Dave Holloway’s journey with private investigator T.J. Ward as they followed what felt at the time to be their most promising lead in years.

“We don’t know if the person is male or female,” Kolowski added. “We don’t know how old that person is. We don’t know how long that person has been dead.”

For the past 14 years, the investigation into Holloway’s disappearance has carried on in fits and spurts, with light occasionally appearing at the end of the tunnel, only to be snuffed out at the first whiff of closure. In the meantime, books have been written, Lifetime made two movies about the case, news-magazine shows have covered it top to bottom, and every theory in the book has been floated—including that Natalee is still alive, or at least was for years after the events of May 30, 2005, transpired. Whatever those events were, exactly. ::snipping3::


Beth has credited her faith for helping her accept her loss, and she eventually returned to work as a speech therapist at schools in Cullman County. She also traveled the country speaking publicly about Natalee, grief, her family’s journey and how to look out for one’s personal safety.

“It’s a message of hope, and my definition of hope is that inexplicable empowerment that enables us to move successfully from challenge to resolution with courage,” she told B-Metro magazine in 2015. “It’s more than just wishful thinking. It is real that there is light at the end of the tunnel. No matter what you’re trying to find your way through—It could be loss of a loved one, it could be terminal illness, it could be a financial loss. It’s a powerful inspirational message that I share that teaches perseverance and hope and that you can endure.” ::snipping3::

Mother of Natalee Holloway to speak in Somerset this week
By JANIE SLAVEN
Commonwealth Journal
Dec 8, 2019

It's been nearly 15 years since the disappearance of Beth Holloway's daughter Natalee.

The Birmingham, Alabama teenager was on a graduation trip in Aruba when she was last seen on May 30, 2005. She has never been found.

Still searching for answers, Holloway will be in Somerset this week to share her story in hopes of helping others. Her "Phases of Hope" presentation will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday night in the historic First Baptist Church sanctuary in downtown Somerset. The general public is invited with admission of $15.

By her own account, Holloway lived a quiet life as a speech pathologist before her life changed so dramatically in 2005. In the years since, her message of hope, faith and personal safety to people of all ages has been heard by tens of thousands in high schools, colleges, churches, local and national conventions, law enforcement conferences, and more. Her book "Loving Natalee" became a New York Times bestseller and has been adapted into a Lifetime movie.

"Phases of Hope" delivers a powerful and supportive message as Holloway describes the three distinct phases of hope she went through after Natalee's disappearance.

Renowned missing persons search & recovery team announces 1st chapter in Alabama
by Jack HeleanSaturday, February 15th 2020

Texas Equusearch founder Tim Miller speaks Saturday to announce the opening of his organizations first Alabama chapter. (ABC 33/40)

WINFIELD, Ala. (WBMA) — A world-renowned missing persons search and recovery team announced the establishment of an Alabama chapter on Saturday afternoon.

TexasEquusearch assisted with the high-profile search for missing woman Aniah Blanchard last year.

TexasEquusearch is a national organization that has been involved in several high-profile missing persons cases including Natalee Holloway.

Beth Holloway the mother to Natalie Holloway and Angela Haley-Harris Mother to Aniah Blanchard, were in attendance at the announcement to answer questions and show their gratitude for TexasEquusearch's efforts.

According to their website, TexasEquuSearch has been involved in over 1,860 searches in the US, Aruba, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. And have returned over 400 missing people home to their families safely.

The volunteer search and recovery team utilizes horseback team members to search wooded areas where vehicles could not otherwise go.

In addition to mounted units the search organization uses drones called "Super Bats" which are equipped with high-resolution cameras that can snap up to 200 images every 10 minutes.

American Woman Rescued in Secretive Military Op, Trump Says

Military.com | By Richard Sisk

President Donald Trump said Sunday that an unspecified military operation had been conducted in a "certain area" overseas to rescue a female U.S. citizen who was being "horribly treated."

Details on the operation and where it was conducted were initially being kept "somewhat private," Trump said, but he added that "we got her out and she's OK, and she's back with her parents."

At the beginning of a White House news conference on the coronavirus, the president spoke to efforts to bring U.S. citizens home from overseas during the pandemic, and cited cooperation from the governments of Peru and Honduras.

"We were able to get a young woman released from a certain area who was being horribly accosted, horribly treated," he then added.

Trump said he consulted with Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, who "took care of it. We went in and we got her out, but that was rough stuff."

He thanked Milley "and all the people involved and people who went in to get her."

In a question-and-answer session at the news conference, Trump was asked for details, but said only that "bad things were happening to her in a certain country," adding that "Gen. Milley does not play games."

There was no immediate response from the Pentagon to questions on the operation.

A Reminder to Put Safety First

Alcatraz East Crime Museum, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, has teamed up with the Natalee Holloway Resource Center and Beth Holloway to offer some timely travel safety tips.

Fifteen years ago, on May 30, 2005, Beth Holloway's nightmare began. Her daughter, Natalee Holloway, went missing in Aruba while on a high school senior trip. While the details of her daughter's disappearance remain a mystery, Holloway has turned her grief into a mission of helping others. Not only does she help parents of the missing, but she also helps educate the public on how to travel safely.

Alcatraz East Crime Museum and the Natalee Holloway Resource Center are providing these awareness programs as Holloway speaks to local students, just in time for their spring break and end-of-year travels.

"The country watched the news regarding the disappearance of Natalee. She could have been anyone's daughter and it struck us," noted Janine Vaccarello, chief operating officer at Alcatraz East Crime Museum. "We are honored to work with Beth to help spread the message of ways that people can stay safe while traveling."

Natalee's disappearance sparked media headlines around the world, as people waited and watched, hoping for answers, and as Holloway's quest for answers in finding her daughter was relentless.

While Holloway's grief continues, she has turned her energy toward helping others. She's been seen on the TV show Vanished with Beth Holloway and, along with the museum, is providing assistance through the Natalee Holloway Resource Center, where downloadable resources such as college safety tips, identity-theft information, and information about law enforcement careers could be found. Soon, Holloway will bring her story and message to local schools surrounding Alcatraz East.

"I'm looking forward to sharing Natalee's story with the students, with the hope that they will use what happened in my family to make informed decisions regarding their personal safety, especially in unfamiliar situations," Holloway explained. "Just maybe, it will help keep someone else's children safe. Natalee's story is a reminder to everyone to put personal safety first, and I hope other teens can learn from it."

Travelers never expect bad things are going to happen to them. Yet every year, lives are ruined due to trafficking, sexual offenses, homicide and other incidents. Keep these safety tips in mind when traveling.

Research.
Always spend some time researching where you are going. Don't just focus on tourist attractions. Check out the U.S. Department of State's recommendations, available online. The government will let you know how safe it is to travel to and within a particular country. While you are at it, look up the contact information for the U.S. Embassy closest to your destination and keep it handy—in your phone, written down or both.

Consider health precautions.
There may be vaccinations required or health warnings you should be aware of when you are leaving the country. Be sure to find out if there's anything you must know before you go.

Copy documents.
Take your important documents and make copies of them. The copies can be stored at home, where someone could easily obtain them for you, or electronically, so you can easily access them.

Obtain travel insurance.
This will help provide you with the coverage you need if anything happens. Speak with your insurance provider to see what you should have while traveling.

Check your look.
It may be difficult to do, but as much as possible try not to stand out and look like a tourist. Criminals find tourists to be easy targets.

Keep in touch.
Be sure to regularly check in with family and friends, so people know where you are and where you're headed.

Be mindful.
Always be aware of your surroundings. Keep in mind such things as hotel security, going places in the dark and walking in sketchy areas. Don't get so caught up looking at the sights that you forget to pay attention to what's going on around you.

Watch the alcohol.
While you want to have fun, drinking too much alcohol in a place you are not familiar with can put you at additional safety risks. Pace yourself, get a designated driver, exercise caution about who you are drinking with as well as knowing the legal drinking age, and keep your guard up, so you don't become more vulnerable.

Add protection.
Add tracking and a password to your phone. This will help you find the phone if it gets stolen and, if you go missing, it may be used to help locate you. Connect with a family member or friend back home who can have access to your tracking, in case it's needed.

Sloot says he’ll point the way to Holloway’s corpse
By Dan ManganJune 11, 2010 | 4:00am

 ::snipping3::

Van der Sloot has been the prime suspect in the Holloway case for years and has given multiple, conflicting accounts of what happened the night met her. But he has never been charged in the case.

Desperate for money in late March, he reached out via a New York lawyer to Natalee’s mom, Beth Twitty, and offered to tell the supposedly true version.

In the affidavit, unsealed in Alabama federal court yesterday, FBI Special Agent William Bryan lays out how van der Sloot exploited Twitty’s grief by coldly turning her tragedy into a business transaction.

Van der Sloot on March 29 e-mailed a “cooperating witness,” offering to guide him to Natalee’s body, the affidavit said.

The “cooperating witness” was Twitty’s lawyer, John Kelly, according to Bo Dietl, a private eye hired by the Holloway family.

The e-mail threatened that “unless Mrs. Twitty paid the money demanded, he [van der Sloot] would not disclose where the remains of her daughter were hidden,” the affidavit said.

In later e-mails, he said he would take the “cooperating witness” to her body for a $25,000 down payment.

He was supposed to get the rest of the quarter-million dollars after the body was recovered and proven to be Holloway’s.

Natalee Holloway's Mom Still Hoping for Answers 15 Years After Her Daughter's Disappearance
CRIME
3:59 PM PDT, May 13, 2020 - Inside Edition Staff

Nearly 15 years have passed since the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, a high school student who vanished on a graduation trip in Aruba. And Natalee's mom Beth is still trying to share the important lessons learned from the tragedy.

"I would like to prevent this tragedy from happening to another family," Beth told Inside Edition.

She has since founded the Natalee Holloway Resource Center to help families deal with the pain of missing loved ones. In a project co-sponsored by the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Tennessee, Beth also gives talks to young people about personal safety.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, Inside Edition was there as she spoke to students at Sevier County High School Outside Knoxville.

"She let her guard down for a moment, and in that moment, she vanished," Beth said. "I do hope that the students will be able to connect with Natalee's story and somehow be able to apply these personal safety and travel safety messages."

Natalee, who was 18 at the time, vanished on a school trip to Aruba in May 2005. Joran Van Der Sloot, the main suspect in her disappearance, is currently serving 28 years for murdering another young woman in Peru. Natalee's remains have never been found.

At the end of her talk to the students, Beth took questions, and one asked if she still hopes to find her daughter.

"I think as parents, we always have hope that there is more information to come," Beth said. "I know it's been close to 15 years. That's a long time. But yes, I do still have hope that we will find out the answer as to really what happened to her."

NATALEE HOLLOWAY’S FRIENDS SPEAK OUT ABOUT MISSING TEEN IN REELZ DOCUMENTARY
MAY 29, 2020 9:34AM by Adam Sall

'That's When I Cried for the First Time...'

The REELZ Network is profiling the disappearance of high school senior Natalee Holloway, whose friends open up for the first time on television.

A vacation to remember. Friends, parents and teachers tell-all about the high school graduation trip to Aruba when senior Natalee Holloway disappeared.

“I was just like, she’s in trouble,” recalls Claire Fierman, another student who was on the trip. “The chaperones—they looked more frightened than me, they said, ‘We can’t find Natalie.’”

The 18-year-old Alabama honors student disappeared while celebrating with friends in the Caribbean paradise back in 2005.

Fifteen years later, her disappearance has never been fully explained although evidence points to foul play at the hands of Joran Van Der Sloot, the local man Natalee was last seen with in a hotel casino. With the gambling and drinking age on the Dutch-controlled island set at 18, the vacation spot offers a world of temptation for teens looking to cut loose, party and worse.

“This isn’t good. I think something’s really wrong,” remembers Cary Plummer, a teacher who traveled with the teens to Aruba as a chaperone. Fierman adds, “That was when I cried for the first time because I felt very scared.”

What happened on the last night Natalee was seen alive? How did Joran Van Der Sloot walk away from the alleged crime?

Natalee Holloway missing for 15 years: How the case developed
On May 30, 2005, eighteen-year-old Natalee Holloway disappeared in Aruba. She was last seen with the Dutchman Joran van der Sloot. The mystery preoccupied both the US and the Netherlands. Van der Sloot was not prosecuted in the case, but did disappear behind bars because of another murder case.

Natalee Holloway’s father: Honduras rescue reports are fake
Updated 2:50 PM; Today 1:52 PM

By Carol Robinson | crobinson@al.com

An American woman rescued in a U.S. military operation in Honduras several months was not Natalee Holloway, according to her family.

Holloway, who disappeared May 30, 2005 while in Aruba with more than 100 of her classmates, was trending on Twitter Tuesday, and reports of her supposed “rescue” also were making the rounds on Facebook.

Her father, Dave Holloway, has one word for the wild rumors: “FAKE.”

Natalee Holloway was trending on Twitter following false speculation that she was rescued by U.S. military in Honduras in March. (Twitter)

It’s not clear how the speculation started.

The Twitter chatter references news released in March by U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper who announced the rescue of an unidentified woman who had been the victim of a violent crime in Honduras. “We had a young lady, a young American, who was the victim of a violent crime in Honduras, I believe. She has been returned to the United States.”

Dave Holloway told AL.com he was not aware of the newest speculation. There have been multiple, similar incidents of speculation in the 15 years since her disappearance.

Joran van der Sloot infected with coronavirus and does not receive medical attention
27-07-2020 19:14 | Binnenland | auteur ANP

THE HAGUE - Joran van der Sloot's family has requested medical assistance from the Dutch embassy for Van der Sloot in prison in Peru. According to his family, he has corona.

Following a report from RTL Nieuws, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms that the family's request has been received. The Dutch embassy has contacted the prison in the Peruvian city of Juliaca where Van der Sloot is detained, but the prison was unable to confirm that Van der Sloot is infected with the corona virus. The ministry says it will keep a close eye on the matter.

Van der Sloot is said to have informed his mother by telephone that he has tested positive and has all symptoms. "He is in bad shape and is not getting help from a doctor," a close relative of Van der Sloot told RTL Nieuws.
 ::snipping3::
The local interest group Defensora del Pueblo reports, according to RTL News, that at least four prisoners and seven guards have tested positive in the prison in Juliaca. Whether Van der Sloot also has corona, the spokesman does not know. One prisoner died in the hospital as a result of the virus.

Joran van der Sloot on the mend after corona infection
RTL News 12 hours ago
 ::snipping3::
"At the moment Joran is in the recovery process. At the moment he has had the most physical stress and he looks better again. He is still taking his medication, but he feels a lot better", his lawyer Máximo Altez told Show news.

Van der Sloot is in the Peruvian prison for the murder of Stephany Flores. In the Netherlands he is best known for his alleged involvement in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba. In the prison where he is now, almost 80 percent of inmates are infected with the corona virus, his lawyer says. Van der Sloot was one of the first to receive it.

Van der Sloot had serious complaints, but was never in danger of life. "Among the symptoms that Joran showed were the following: fever, physical discomfort and breathing problems. However, he has never been in an intensive care unit in a hospital."

He is now in an infirmary and is staying there because he is still testing positive for the virus. In the meantime, his lawyer is trying to get him out early. He hopes to get Van der Sloot released as soon as a third of his 28-year prison sentence has ended. "Personally I think this will be difficult for Joran to achieve, but we will see how it goes."

Another 18 years behind Peruvian bars for Dutchman Joran van Der Sloot for drug smuggling
Peruvian prosecutors are demanding a prison sentence of 18 years and four months against Joran van der Sloot for drug smuggling, local media report on Friday. The Dutchman has been detained in the South American country for murder since 2010.

Peruvian media report that Van der Sloot is seen as the coordinator of drug smuggling to the prison in the southeast of Peru, where he is serving his prison sentence.


Van der Sloot, along with his girlfriend Eva Pacohuanaco and accomplices, is said to have smuggled nearly 300 grams of cocaine and 140 grams of marijuana into the prison in Juliaca.  ::snipping3::




The same sentence was demanded against three fellow prisoners of Van der Sloot. The prosecution demanded 14 years in prison for Pacohuanaco's brother for his role in the smuggling case.


Van der Sloot is serving a 28-year prison sentence in Peru for the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramírez in 2010. He was convicted in 2012. The Dutchman was previously suspected of involvement in the disappearance of the American Natalee Holloway (18) in Aruba in 2005.

The accumulation of prison sentences is possible in Peruvian criminal law if the crimes committed were committed at different times by the same perpetrator. But the convict would have to be released after a maximum of 35 years if he has not received a life sentence

The Whole Natalee Holloway Story May Never Be Known: Inside a Journey of Frustration and Acceptance
Sixteen years after his daughter Natalee disappeared in Aruba, Dave Holloway talked to E! News about the search, the disappointments and what he realized about family that keeps him going to this day.
By NATALIE FINN MAY 30, 2021 6:00 AM

Natalee Ann Holloway still has her own page on the FBI's website, though not in the "Kidnappings/Missing Persons" section—unlike Kristin Smart, who for now remains catalogued that way since disappearing 25 years ago. A man whom detectives have suspected the entire time of killing Kristin back in 1996, when they were both 19-year-old college freshmen, was just charged with her murder in April, though investigators still haven't found her body. The suspect has pleaded not guilty.

No trace of Natalee has ever been found, either, and her whereabouts remain unknown—but her case resides under "Seeking Information" rather than among the missing.

And actively seeking information is exactly what Natalee's parents spent years doing, despite the reluctant acknowledgment that their daughter's life likely ended on the island of Aruba on the morning of May 30, 2005, hours before she and the rest of her fellow high school graduates who'd made the celebratory trip to the Caribbean were supposed to board a plane back to the U.S.

Joran van der Sloot, the man Natalee's family is thoroughly convinced is responsible for her death, is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence in Peru for the murder of Stephany Flores—who was killed five years to the day that Natalee went missing. But, despite having spent several months in custody in Aruba in 2005 while police investigated, Joran was never charged with any crime related to Natalee's disappearance.

 ::snipping3::

Beth did not respond to interview requests for this article. She told 20/20 in 2019, speaking of Joran, "Is it the justice I wanted? No, but it's the justice I'll take."

Juliaca: Five dangerous inmates are transferred to the Challapalca prison

One of them is the Dutch Joran Andreas Petrus van der Sloot, who was sentenced to prison for the murder of the Peruvian Stephany Flores
Updated on 06/26/2021 12:31 p.m.

Five inmates from the Juliaca prison (La Capilla) were transferred to the Challapalca maximum security prison, located in the territory of Tacna, but managed by the Altiplano National Penitentiary Institute (INPE).

This is Joran Andreas Petrus van der Sloot (34), convicted of the crime of Qualified Homicide, Duran More Juan Carlos (34) who is serving prison for Aggravated Robbery, López Romo Jean Piere (33) for the crime of Aggravated Robbery, Puris Arzapalo Jesús Santos (28) for the crime of Sexual Rape and Batons Granada Luis Fernando (22), who is serving a sentence for the crime of Qualified Homicide.

The five were taken in the vehicle with the EGN-884 filming plate of INPE, in addition to the accompaniment of the truck with the EGK377 plate, inside which personal guards of the INPE and the National Police of Peru (PNP) were watching.

Dangerous

Each of these people has a story, but one of the best known is that of the Dutch Joran Andreas Petrus van der Sloot, who is a murderer sentenced to prison for the murder of the Peruvian Stephany Flores.

In addition, the man was charged in the United States with telephone fraud and extortion of information about the whereabouts of Natalee Holloway, who disappeared in Aruba on May 30, 2005.

The newspaper archive indicates that from the beginning he was the main suspect in the murder of Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramírez, who died on May 30, 2010 in Lima, exactly five years after Holloway's disappearance.

Seven prisoners are transferred to the Challapalca prison for carrying cell phones
28 Jun 2021 | 11:18 h
Updated on June 28, 2021 | 11:18 h

And Montesinos? In that group is Joran Van Der Sloot, accused of telephone fraud and information extortion. Also murderers, rapists and robbers.

"The worst thing that can happen to an inmate is to be sent to that prison," a prison officer tells us. Convicted for the murder of the Peruvian Stephany Flores, the Dutchman Joran Van Der Sloot was transferred to the Challapalca prison along with six other dangerous criminals who were being held in the Juliaca (Puno) and Ancón I (Lima) prisons.

The foreigner was punished for possession of a cell phone with which he kept in contact with the outside world.

This establishment is located on the border of Tacna and Puno, at 5,050 meters above sea level. It is the highest in Latin America and was built in the 90s to house 240 inmates. It is completely away from populated centers or cities.

In addition, communication is almost impossible and the climate can reach minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Shooting of star Dutch reporter raises European concern

AMSTERDAM (AP) — European leaders and lawmakers expressed dismay Wednesday and rights advocates demanded justice after a veteran Dutch crime reporter was shot in the head in downtown Amsterdam following a TV appearance.

Peter R. de Vries, a journalist celebrated for his courageous reporting on the Dutch underworld, was fighting for his life in an Amsterdam hospital after the Tuesday night shooting.

Two suspects remained in custody Wednesday, while a third person detained Tuesday night was let go, according to a Dutch police statement. The motive for the attack was not disclosed.

Supporters brought flowers to the crime scene, still cordoned off by police.

De Vries, 64, is not just the most high-profile investigative reporter in the Netherlands, he became a global figure after the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, an American teenager who went missing in Aruba in 2005. He won an Emmy for his investigation into the alleged involvement of Dutchman Joran van der Sloot in her disappearance.

Beth Holloway, Natalee’s mother, told The Daily Beast she had stayed in touch with him in the intervening years. “It’s actually devastating. I’m just praying that he will pull through,” she said. “It’s hard to absorb and process that something this horrific could happen.”

Netherlands crime journalist Peter R. de Vries shot in Amsterdam | DW News

Dutch crime journalist Peter R. de Vries was fighting for his life after being shot and wounded in a gun attack in the center of Amsterdam on Tuesday evening.

De Vries, 64, was taken to hospital in a seriously wounded state. He had been taking part in a live television show where he was a regular guest and was shot close to the RTL studios.

In 2019, de Vries wrote on Twitter that he had been informed by police and justice officials that he was on the hit list of a fugitive criminal. 

According to NOS, de Vries had recently acted as an adviser and confidant to a state witness testifying against an alleged drug kingpin, who was extradited to the Netherlands from Dubai in 2019.

Peter R. de Vries is the personification of justice

JASWINA ELAHIC
JULY 8, 2021, 09:05

Few are those who not only hold justice in high esteem, but also live and act upon it. One of those few people is Peter R. de Vries. That's why I always had a high regard for him. The assassination attempt on his life has touched me deeply, just as this attack has affected many people around me, young and old. When I read the posts on social media, I also notice how much he is loved by different ethnic groups. And that's not surprising, because he stood up for them too.

Peter R. de Vries agitates against every form of crime and injustice. Not only in the underworld, but also in the upper world and in the public debate. He has become a voice for minorities in the media. He contradicts the right-wing populist bluster that most journalists and presenters take over and spew on Dutch radio and television. Peter R. not only dares to express his views loud and clear, but is also able to substantiate them clearly.

His fight against crime and injustice is met with much resistance. Not only serious criminals made no secret of the fact that Peter's life is at stake, the death threats from angry pro-Zwarte Piet supporters also reached him. But since the day before yesterday, he has been widely praised for his courage, sharpness and sense of justice.

In addition to the justified praise, the framing of the attack is striking. By Prime Minister Rutte and the media, Peter R. de Vries is portrayed as a journalist, and the attack is therefore also an attack on free journalism. That is a remarkable reduction, because the man is known for his versatility. Although Peter R. de Vries has a background in journalism, he was also a police officer. He is a confidant, a detective – in one word: a crime fighter. He is a threat to several criminal figures.

It is not known from which angle the order to kill Peter R. de Vries was given, but it is suspected that it comes from the criminal circuit. Criminals are not threatened by the publicity of Peter R. de Vries, but by his detective work.

In other words: the attack is not so much an attack on journalism, but on the rule of law.

Although regularly featured in the media, Peter R. de Vries is much more than just a journalist. If getting your head on television were the only criterion, Rutte would be the most popular journalist in the Netherlands.

An attack on probably the most important value of his life: his fight against crime

Peter R. de Vries once founded a political party in 2005: the Party for Justice, Decisiveness and Progress. The Netherlands did not want it and opted for the established parties. Unfortunately. Because current developments within the established parties show that ethical behavior is hard to find. But Peter R. de Vries happily stuck to his sound of justice. For example, he strongly criticizes the inhumane refugee policy of the Netherlands and dares to propagate this contrary opinion on various platforms and channels.

Peter R. de Vries is not only a symbol for free journalism, but above all the personification of justice. The attack is an attack on probably the most important value of his life: his fight against crime.

Fortunately, a day later, the incorrect framing made its way into politics. The focus is now on organized crime instead of journalism. The shooting of crime fighters is now being formulated as a theme and the rule of law is being brought in again. "This is unacceptable," said Minister Grapperhaus. I agree with that.

My heart goes out to his loved ones. I wish Peter R. De Vries a lot of strength in his struggle for life. However this turns out, his fight for justice will continue.

ARUBAN RAPPER DELANO G. IS THE PERPETRATOR WHO SHOT PETER DE VRIES
July 8, 2021

The second suspect in the attempted murder of Peter R. de Vries is a 21-year-old rapper out of Rotterdam. This man is of Aruban descent and is known by the police, according to sources from the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. Means of communication on Aruba and Curacao have made it known that his last name is Geerman.

The Amsterdam police do not wish to release any information concerning the identity of the other suspect involved in the case because they believe it might hinder the investigation. These two, who are currently both in preventative detention, will be presenting in front of a judge this coming Friday. The second suspect is a Polish man by the name of Kamil E, living in Maurik. The police arrested Kamil last week already after complaints were made against him for his threatening behavior.

The police have already deduced what the supposed roles were that each suspect played. The one who fired five (5) shots at de Vries was Delano G. and the one who was driving the getaway vehicle in which they made their escape was Kamil E.

Children about the situation of Peter R. de Vries: 'Still a lot of uncertainty'

Royce and Kelly de Vries, the children of crime reporter Peter R. de Vries, have thanked the public for all the support they received after the attack on their father. They did this in a special broadcast of Tijd voor Max about the disappearance case of Tanja Groen and the De Gouden Tip foundation.

De Vries recently set up the foundation to raise a million euros for the decisive tip about Tanja. The student disappeared in 1993 after a party at a student association in Maastricht.

"For the past forty years, our father has been busy solving unresolved cases. Cases in which family members were tormented by uncertainty," Royce de Vries said in a video message. "We think it's fantastic that the case of Tanja Groen and the De Gouden Tip foundation is now receiving so much attention. In recent months, our father has been working day and night with the foundation."

Medical situation
"We understand that everyone wants to know how our father is doing," said Kelly de Vries. "There is still a lot of uncertainty about his medical situation, so we can't say much about that. We do know that he is in very good hands and that the doctors and nurses do a fantastic job."

"We would also like to thank you for the wonderfully kind words, beautiful cards, flowers and candles that you burn for our father. That means a lot to us in this difficult time," said the crime reporter's daughter.

De Vries's partner also contributed to the broadcast. A friend and colleague of De Vries, editor-in-chief Simon Vuyk, read a letter she had written.

"Everything my dear Peter does, he does with love and dedication. When we went away for a weekend recently, he took the action for Tanja with him. His determination makes him who he is. How nice would it be if his dream came true and Tanja Groen's parents finally get an answer to that one question and that Tanja comes home again."

'Hope Peter makes it'
For Tanja Groen's parents, the attack on the crime reporter was a huge blow. Corrie Groen: "The cold case team called us on Tuesday evening, because we hadn't heard it ourselves yet. We hope that Peter makes it anyway. He is still there. He is still alive."

"He was with us last Monday," said Corrie Groen. "We had such a nice conversation then, so sweet. It is unimaginable."

At the end of the broadcast it was announced that the target amount of one million euros for the De Gouden Tip foundation has almost been raised: 931,000 euros have now been donated.

The theater is open on Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for anyone who wants to stop by. In the obituary that was full page in Dutch newspapers on Saturday, the family van De Vries already announced that 'everyone to whom Peter has meant something in his life' is invited to come and say goodbye to him in Carré.

The conditions for a visit to the farewell are described on the RTL Boulevard website . For example, no corona test or vaccination certificate is required, but those present are expected to keep one and a half meters away from each other.

'Great crowds are taken into account', according to RTL Boulevard , 'so everyone is kindly requested to keep the goodbye at the bier as short as possible, so that as many people as possible get the chance to pay him a last tribute.'

Various memorial places
In a number of places in the city it was already possible to commemorate De Vries. For example, approximately five hundred people visited the Westerkerk on Friday. There they could stop by for four hours for a moment of silence and reflection or to light a candle for the deceased crime journalist.

The Nicholas Basilica on Prins Hendrikkade still offers this option, every day between twelve and five o'clock in the afternoon. Visitors can also sign a condolence register for De Vries there.

In the Lange Leidsedwarsstraat, where De Vries was shot in broad daylight after a performance in RTL Boulevard on Tuesday 6 July, flowers have been laid at the site of the attack since that day . People come there incessantly to commemorate the murder of the crime reporter who died of his injuries on Thursday.

I've seen so many beautiful tributes for Peter R. de Vries.  I've read that more than 7500 lined up to pay their respects during the public viewing, and that radio stations all played his favorite song in concert on the day of the private service and final burial.  I've been listening to one of his last interviews right now, of course I can understand very little, but I still love listening to his voice and as always...he's so handsome!  He talked about Joran van der Sloot for a moment in the interview I'm watching.  In several tributes it was mentioned that he wrote many letters and left little notes in sometimes hidden places to surprise those he loved.  He'd reportedly said at some time that the spoken word is for a moment but a letter can be read over and over.  We were all witness to his skill as an investigative journalist and fearless crime fighter.  We saw him give hope to many that had lost all hope of answers in their cases.  But it has been heartwarming for me to learn more about the private side of him, that he carefully kept very private; and understandably so in his line of work. 

I'll always remember the way he looked at Paulus van der Sloot and Joran van der Sloot.  As stated below in a recent tribute, without a doubt, he knew what kind of meat was in their tubs.    ::rhino::  ::boxjoran:: ::MonkeyCool::

He was a good man, kind man, and made an indelible impression on the hearts of many; including mine.  He will never be forgotten.  ::MonkeyAngel:: ::MonkeyHeart::

For Peter
Robert Moszkowicz commemorates his friend Peter R. de Vries. “I have never met a person who was as straightforward and uncompromisingly clinging to his ideas and principles as Peter R. de Vries.”

Published on:22/07 | 2021
Posted in the following categories:TO LIVE
Written by:Robert MoszkowiczI

At the end of 1986 I went through a difficult period.

Through my father, Max Moszkowicz Sr., Peter de Vries had heard that I was in a precarious position.

I was stuck.

One day, shortly after I ended up in this position, I received, totally unexpectedly, by 'internal' mail an encouraging letter from Peter R. de Vries.

At that time, Peter and I only knew each other superficially through my father, from a chat here and a drink there.

This did not prevent him from sending me a poem which I cherish.

If you think, 'I am defeated',
defeat is a fact.
If you think, 'I won't budge',
you will eventually win the battle.
If you think, 'I can't make it',
the setback is coming.
For the skipping of the scales,
Depends chiefly on will.
Despondents perish
through their doubts, through their fears,
Fighters win by miracle
Every time the toughest race

This poem by Peter touched me deeply, and it certainly helped me get through that difficult period.

After that I got up again, and I got my life back on track afterwards.

This was Peter all over.

Some time after that, when I was a lawyer again and I was doing a controversial criminal case against a Turkish suspect who had made ABN AMRO four million guilders lighter, we got in touch again and since then we have often met and talked to each other, also in business terms.

On all important occasions for me and my family, Peter was always present, including the premiere of the documentary about my life, of my eldest son Max.

I cherish the friendship with Peter and keep unforgettable memories of it.

I have never met a person who was so straightforward and uncompromisingly stuck to his ideas and principles as Peter R. de Vries.

Peter was someone who could see right through someone and immediately knew what kind of meat he had in the tub.

Unfortunately, he was unable to look the cowardly perpetrator of his murder straight in the eye, but was attacked from behind by this false murderer.

It is incomprehensible to me why the government and in particular the minister of 'Security' and Justice and all sections that fall under his ministry have not of their own accord tried to monitor or promote Peter's safety by taking the appropriate measures, precisely because it was known that Peter was on a 'black list', even though it was known that Peter himself had rejected intense security.

That could have made all the difference…

As far as is now known, the government has seriously failed to do so with the currently known consequences.

Peter is inimitable in all facets of his personality and of what he has achieved and accomplished in his field.

Peter is indeed a hero.

It is incomprehensible that Peter has not already received the appropriate honors from this and for that during his lifetime.

Peter will have no successor, because he was unique in every way and because for the time being no one will arise who can even come close to him.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Peter R. de Vries, a renowned Dutch journalist who fearlessly reported on the violent underworld of the Netherlands and campaigned to breathe new life into cold cases, has died at age 64 after being shot in a brazen attack last week, his family said Thursday.

"Peter fought to the end, but was unable to win the battle," the family said in a statement sent to Dutch media.
 ::snipping3::
"Peter has lived by his conviction: 'On bended knee is no way to be free,'" the family statement said. "We are unbelievably proud of him and at the same time inconsolable."

De Vries had been fighting for his life in an Amsterdam hospital since the attack. The statement said he died surrounded by loved ones and requested privacy for De Vries' family and partner "to process his death in peace." Funeral arrangements were not immediately announced.

Joran van der Sloot, this is the life of the Dutch murderer in the Challapalca prison, 5,000 meters above sea level
Condemned for the murder of the young Stephanie Flores, he is smiling before the press and tells that it is the second time that he has returned to the penitentiary for bad behavior.
October 11, 2021

Smiling, calm and without any remorse, this is how Joran Van der Sloot showed himself before the cameras of Cuarto Poder, a journalistic program that showed inside what the Challapalca prison is like, located at 5,000 meters high in the Sierra de Tacna and which houses the most dangerous criminals and murderers in Peru.

"This is the second time that I am here for bad behavior," says the murderer of Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramírez (21), an economics student who was taken advantage of to take her to a hotel room to suffocate and assassinate her in the same way. more cruel.

In the images, this murderer, almost two meters tall, could be seen wearing black checkered pants and a blue jacket. He was standing in the doorway of his cell, where he only has a table and a bed.

This murderer is in an area away from the other inmates of the prison due to his high danger and for having starred in brawls to escape from the previous penitentiary where he was confined.

Joran Van der Sloot lives his day to day with another ranked criminal: Gerson Gálvez Falla alias ‘Caracol’ and leader of the Callao criminal gang ‘Barrio King’.

Since his conviction in 2012, 27-year-old van der Sloot has been held, among other things, in the Piedras Gordas prison in Lima. In 2021 he was transferred to Challapalca prison on charges of money laundering and drug trafficking. Van der Sloot, along with his girlfriend Lady Figueroa, had diverted three and a half tons of criminal money. He is also accused of smuggling a shipment of cocaine into prison. In February he was sentenced to another 18 years in prison.

Armani shoes

So far the appearance of this infamous prison inside has remained a mystery, but the reporter gets a special insight. Among other things, he spoke to van der Sloot, who is in a separate ward, away from 150 other prisoners. Van der Sloot sits there with only one person: a cartel leader wearing Armani shoes.

The reporter asks why van der Sloot is here. “I didn't do well,” he replied with a smile. Then the camera photographed his cell. It is very simple and does not contain many things. Just an iron bed with a thin mattress, a shelf on the wall with a few things, a white desk and a basket. The reporter sees Van der Sloot smile and say: "He can laugh here now, but what about the father of the girl he killed, his victim?"

The 34-year-old Dutchman was convicted in 2010 for the murder of 21-year-old student Stephanie Flores. He was already suspected of being involved in the disappearance of 18-year-old American Natalie Holloway in Aruba in 2005, but he has never been convicted.

Missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway would have celebrated 35th birthday on Thursday

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WRBL) – Thursday marks what would have been the 35th birthday of Natalee Holloway. The Alabama teen has been missing for more than 16 years, after vanishing on a trip abroad.

Holloway was born on Oct. 21, 1986. The 18-year-old Holloway disappeared while visiting Aruba in the Caribbean in 2005.

Holloway had graduated from Mountain Brook High School in Birmingham, Ala., and was celebrating the graduation with other classmates at the time of her disappearance.

The case sparked international headlines and multiple law enforcement agencies were involved in the investigation.

Joran van der Sloot, the main suspect in Holloway’s disappearance, is currently serving 28 years in prison in Peru for murdering Stephany Flores in 2010 in a Lima, Peru hotel room. Flores was choked and beaten to death on May 30, 2010, exactly five years after Holloway’s disappearance.

Natalee’s mother, Beth Holloway, continues to advocate for victims and their families. In November 2018, she came to Auburn to offer support and help put out ribbons when another Alabama teenager, Aniah Blanchard, was missing. Tragically, Blanchard would later be found dead, and Ibraheem Yazeed charged in her murder.

Holloway was declared legally dead on Jan. 12, 2012. Her case remains unsolved.

Tahmina Akefi reveals herself as partner of Peter R. de Vries

Journalist and writer Tahmina Akefi revealed herself on Sunday evening in the documentary Confidential! revealed as the partner of crime reporter Peter R. de Vries. The now 39-year-old Akefi and De Vries met in 2015 during a live broadcast of Pauw , where they were both guests.

"It's a feeling that you recognize in each other's gaze," Akefi says in the documentary about the first meeting. "He was only busy with me." In the documentary, she and her friends reflect on her relationship with De Vries.

The partner of the murdered crime journalist has so far always remained anonymous, because she did not want to be known as 'the sweetheart of'. Over the years, Akefi worked as a journalist for media such as NOS, BBC and NRC Handelsblad . She was a regular guest at Pauw 's to talk about refugees and present news broadcasts for Rijnmond.

Akefi describes De Vries as sweet and caring. "But he also had a complicated character. We set high standards for each other." The pair broke up for a while in 2017 because Akefi wanted children. De Vries, who was more than two decades older, did not share that need. Still, the lovers got back together.

Director Simon Vuyk, who made the documentary, said on Sunday morning that Akefi will use her right to speak in the trial against the attackers. She does not want to do that anonymously. The substantive hearing of the case will start in June.

The couple was "working towards coming out together" when De Vries was murdered last summer.

This is TAHMINA AKEFI (39), the woman PETER R. DE VRIES would marry this year ("He put my hands to his face and said, 'Would you like to marry me?')

BY EDITORS ON JANUARY 30, 2022

 ::snipping3::

Tahmina participated in the documentary, made by Simon Vuyk, to honor their love can be read this weekend in the AD, who were already allowed to see the docu. She tells about their love: “The love of Peter and me. Six wonderful and intense years are perhaps best described by the many letters he wrote to me.” () “We planned together to step out of anonymity in a dignified, beautiful way. We were supposed to get married this year. Those plans have been taken from us. Now I have arrived in a different reality. This new reality requires new decisions. That especially suits Peter. He liked to decide for himself, in what way and when. And when it came out, it had to stand like a house."

“Another reason to participate in the documentary is that our relationship was far too beautiful, unique and special. If you are in a relationship where there is an age difference, then there are a lot of prejudices. Love, people don't think about that so quickly.”

They got to know each other in a make-up room while recording a talk show. “I was being made up when Peter came in. He looked at me through the mirror and smiled. When I tell it I feel it again. Goosebumps. We've actually recalled that moment many times. And he said: 'If only I could relive that'. He called it a lightning strike."

They agreed four days later. An intense love developed. The two briefly split up in 2017 when she announced her wish to have children in her early thirties. “We have tried to distance ourselves from each other. Letting go of each other. That was not really successful. Peter said, 'I feel amputated without you. Like you're missing a part of yourself. Now I really know what that feels like.”

In the documentary she also talks about his marriage proposal. “I went to see him after work. He did not sit next to me, but opposite me on the floor. Not on one leg. Then he took my hands and looked at me. A very nice soft look in his eyes. He put my hands to his face and said, "Would you like to marry me?" I teased him a bit at first. 'Let me think'. But in the end I said yes."

They would also move in together. They had a viewing on July 6, 2021. That evening, the crime journalist was a guest in a broadcast of RTL Boulevard, while she was already on her way. On the way, Royce, Peter's son, called her. He had just heard that his father had been shot. “At first I thought: that's not possible, that must be a sick joke. I stood by the road and then I called Peter. He didn't answer. Then I knew it wasn't right. I was a few miles from the house we were going to view. A nightmare.''

Peter was changing, she also says. He asked her what she would think if he were secured. Dan: “The attack could have been prevented. I'm convinced of that. The man who chased him a few times, including on June 28, was so striking that it was reported to the police. But nothing happened, nothing at all. That report only surfaced after the attack. Only then did they request and view images of that 28th. And then they discovered that whoever had been chasing him was also present at the attack.”

“I can't believe that a report is received that Peter R. de Vries, the confidential adviser of the key witness, has been pursued, and that nothing is being done about it. Then all the alarm bells should have gone off.”

“Why didn't they see the footage? Why didn't they track the man down? Why didn't they secure the route? Peter was simply slaughtered because the system failed again. The same system that was the reason for him, in the first place, to assist the key witness.”

She still remembers the moment just before her speech at the funeral well, she says. “Just before I was about to speak, I suddenly thought, 'Oh, he's in that box. That grabbed me by the throat. Then I also thought: maybe I won't even be able to speak. Even then it was as if he was saying to me, 'You're going to do this. You're going to stand there in front of me."

“A lot has been said and written about Peter since Black Tuesday. That he was a hero, a brave fighter against injustice, loyal, heart in the right place, and that's all right. But Peter was much more than that. Peter was all love. He was all love.”

Beth Holloway reflects on memories of her 18-year-old daughter who went missing in 2005

By Syeda Abbas

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Beth Holloway reminisced on memories she has of her 18-year-old daughter, Natalie, who disappeared on a high school trip to Aruba back in 2005.

It’s a story she’s shared with the world, and on Thursday, she spoke her truth at the 2022 Amber Alert conference at the Independence Civic Center.

She says she wants to empower others so no child ever goes missing.

“Back in the day, when I was in Aruba and I didn’t have 911 to call,” she said.

 ::snipping3::

For Holloway, this is not just a conference.

It’s her way off stopping evil in its tracks.

The evil that took her daughter away from her.

“It’s a journey that will never end,” she added.

New evidence in Natalee Holloway disappearance, U.S. presenter says

Nearly 17 years after Natalee Holloway disappeared in Aruba, the mystery of what happened to her may be solved. United States lawyer and television presenter Greta Van Susteren announced on Twitter that she found "a KEY piece of evidence" regarding the American girl's fate.

Holloway disappeared while vacationing in Aruba on 30 May 2005 at the age of 18. What happened to her is still unclear.

Van Susteren did not say what evidence she found but did call it "breathtaking." She said she is awaiting a lab test result before revealing what she discovered while working with Natalee's mother, Beth.

"I promised the mother in 2005 I would stay with it until she knew what happened and when I promised, I thought it would be three days, not 17 years. But I have kept my promise," Van Susteren tweeted. "I have been working night and day with Natalee Holloway's mother for the last year, and it is breathtaking what we have uncovered."

The Natalee Holloway case mainly became known in the Netherlands due to the possible involvement of the Dutch Joran van der Sloot. He was last seen with her. In an interview with Van Susteren for Fox News in 2008, Van der Sloot said he had sold Holloway to a human trafficker. But he later took that story back. In the past years, the man confessed to killing Holloway multiple times but always denied it again later.

Van der Sloot is currently in prison in Peru for the murder of Stephany Flores ib 30 May 2010 - exactly five years after Holloway's disappearance.

Paradise lost: These tourists had tragic Caribbean, Mexico vacations

By Natalie O'Neill
May 11, 2022 3:37pm  Updated

Tourists on tropical vacations have been plagued by trouble in paradise in recent years — including mysterious poisonings, unsolved disappearances and one couple’s tragic honeymoon murder.

Last week, American tourists Robbie Phillips, 65, Michael Phillips, 68, and Vincent Chiarella, 64, became the latest to have their dream trips turn into nightmares, when they suddenly fell ill and died mysteriously at the swanky Sandals Emerald Bay resort in the Bahamas.

The case reignited fear surrounding strange and violent deaths at vacation hotspots in the Caribbean and Mexico.

Here are some examples of where paradise was lost:

 ::snipping3::


Natalee Holloway. Aruba, May 2005
The Alabama teen went missing while on a high school graduation trip with friends in a disappearance that captivated the country for years.

Despite a slew of theories and even reported “sightings,”  the case remains unsolved, and her body was never found.

A man who has been linked to her killing, Joran van der Sloot, is now serving a 28-year behind bars in Peru for the slaying of another young woman.

American Journalist Says She Has Key in Holloway Case

May 11, 2022

ORANJESTAD - On Monday, May 9, a report appeared in the media that journalist Greta van Susteren would have important evidence in hand that would allow the case of Natalee Holloway to be solved.

The Public Prosecution Service was informed on May 6 about a consultation between Richardson, former chief of police of the Aruban police, and Natalee Holloway's mother, and then with Van Susteren.  This consultation took place on 22 March.  Van Susteren indicated that she has new information that will solve the Holloway case.  She also indicated that she did not want to be heard by the detectives.

The Public Prosecution is now looking for an alternative so that Van Susteren's story can be heard.  Until then, no further announcements will be made by the Public Prosecution Service on this matter.

My mind has been swirling with the possibilities that would be considered "breathtaking", and I don't even want to list them.   ::MonkeyConfused::

Anytime Dolfi is mentioned in any regard to Natalee, I see the picture in my mind of him on the Persistence.  I probably always will.  ::MonkeyMad::  Why would he be involved at this point, unless it has something to do with the oxygen fiasco? 

That's why I hate waiting, just spill it or be quiet.  We're getting old here.    ::MonkeyWaa::  ::MonkeyDevil::

Joran van der Sloot risks an extra 18 years in prison: "He gets into trouble every time"
May 23, 2022 17:30

Joran van der Sloot risks an extra 18 years in prison. He is already serving a 28-year sentence for murder in Peru. He is now on trial for cocaine smuggling, which he allegedly smuggled in and out of prison. Since 2005, Van der Sloot has been constantly getting into trouble, and there are casualties. "He gets into trouble every time," crime journalist John van den Heuvel tells EenVandaag.

 ::snipping3::
And he is still serving this sentence in Peru. But now there is a new charge against Joran van der Sloot. "In the prison he is in, he saw the opportunity to organize a smuggling gang with cocaine. The drugs were brought into the prison by a friend of Van der Sloot," says John van den Heuvel. "Joran then distributed this in prison."

smuggler gang

Van den Heuvel says that there is a very ingenious network behind the smuggling. "The girlfriend has made a statement to the judiciary and has now made a deal. On that basis, he is on trial for cocaine smuggling from outside the prison into the prison."

"For this smuggling Joran van der Sloot can get 18 years in prison. The prosecutor has already said that these 18 years will be demanded," says Van den Heuvel.

Court hears closing arguments in trial over killing of Dutch crime reporter
The brazen murder of Peter R. de Vries, in broad daylight on a crowded street in Amsterdam, was seen as an attack on free media and condemned across European.
MOLLY QUELL / June 15, 2022

AMSTERDAM (CN) — Before a court in Amsterdam on Wednesday, lawyers for two defendants argued for leniency and acquittal in the murder of Dutch crime journalist Peter R. de Vries.

Prosecutors say Delano Geerman shot de Vries five times while Kamil Egiert drove the getaway car. During the trial, both men admitted to being at the scene but Geerman downplayed his role and Egiert denied knowing he was participating in a murder.
 ::snipping3::
De Vries rose to prominence after covering the 1983 kidnapping of Heineken heir Freddy Heineken by Willem Holleeder. The journalist was later awarded an International Emmy for his investigation into the disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005.

The verdict will be announced on July 14.

PROSECUTORS FAIL TO PROVE ANDERSON RASMIJN KILLED POENTJE CASTRO
May 24, 2022

Around 4:30 pm, a judge informed Anderson Rasmijn that the charges of premeditated murder have been dropped. The judge said that the Public Prosecutor’s office assumed and concluded that Rasmijn killed Castro without sufficient proof.

They also failed to provide a motive for the killing.

Prosecutor mr. Yolanda Pronk explained that they will analyze the case internally based on the judge’s decision. It is likely that the prosecutor will appeal the decision.

THURSDAY, 25 AUGUST 2022 - 13:10

Judge’s resignation means Peter R. de Vries murder trial may have to start over

The criminal trial around the murder of Peter R. de Vries may have to start over due to a judge’s resignation. One of the three judges is moving abroad, was revealed during a hearing in the reopened case on Thursday, NOS reports.

The judge had planned her relocation for this summer because the De Vries case was supposed to be completed by then. But in July, the court unexpectedly reopened the case just before the ruling. The Public Prosecution Service (OM) presented new witness statements, which may impact the verdict. The OM had demanded life in prison against the two suspects.

A replacement judge has been appointed. But according to the court, the law prescribes that the case must be retried unless the OM and defense lawyers consider it unnecessary. The involved parties are discussing it at the moment.

The lawyers representing suspects Delano G. and Kamil E. refused to comment on Thursday morning, according to NOS. The OM also wouldn’t say anything. They’ll reveal their decision in the next hearing in November.

De Vries’s son Royce is not happy with this revelation. “You think everything is over, and then maybe the whole thing must start from scratch.” He called it remarkable that the court had not anticipated the judge’s departure, which had been known for some time. According to De Vries, the court should have appointed a reserve judge, as happens with big lawsuits like the MH17 or Marengo trials.

Joran van der Sloot gets another 18 years in prison in Peru for drug smuggling

Joran van der Sloot was sentenced to another 18 years in prison in Peru for drug smuggling. The Dutch man, who was already serving a 28-year-long prison sentence for the murder of Stephany Flores, will be in prison until 2045 because a prison term in Peru cannot exceed 35 years, De Telegraaf reports.
 ::snipping3::
The Dutch man is also suspected of involvement in the disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway. The American went missing in Aruba in 2005. Officially, Holloway's disappearance has never been solved, though an American journalist claimed last May she uncovered new information connected to the case, which she had yet to reveal eight months later.

Aruba prosecutor: New evidence in Natalee Holloway case is fake; American T.V. host was tricked

United States lawyer and television presenter Greta van Susteren, who announced last year that she had new evidence in the case Natalee Holloway, has been scammed. The Aruba Prosecutor's Office wrote in a statement that "persons possibly from South America" have "deceived her with false information in exchange for payment." The statement was sent as a confirmation of reporting by Dutch broadcaster NOS on Saturday, which first published the update regarding the Holloway’s disappearance from 2005.

Aruba police and prosecutors, together with the FBI, investigated the material obtained by Van Susteren. A forensic examination revealed that DNA on shoes and clothing allegedly belonging to Holloway did not match either Holloway's DNA or that of the main suspect, Joran van der Sloot. The videos and photos sent to Van Susteren, where footage showed people who were allegedly involved in the disappearance and skeletal remains, turned out to be from public Facebook pages and a newspaper article about a landfill in Costa Rica.

In addition, all of the people who contacted Van Susteren knew each other, according to the prosecutor's office, which notified her of the investigation's findings. Holloway's family was also informed, they said.

Van Susteren reacted with disappointment to the news, accusing Dutch and Aruban authorities of incompetence. She also claimed she had more evidence that investigators opted not to examine. “How do you re open an investigation and not interview the key witness who wants to talk to you? That is what Aruba just did,” Van Susteren said on Twitter. She also claimed authorities were unwilling to speak with Holloway’s mother, Beth, about the development. “You just can’t make this stuff up.”

Statement Public Prosecution Aruba in investigation disappearance Natalee Holloway
MAIN | By Correspondent Feb. 6, 2023

ORANJESTAD - The Public Prosecution Service (OM) in Oranjestad, in collaboration with the FBI, has extensively investigated the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in response to a possible new lead. There was evidence of deceit, the OM said today. 

Statement OM Aruba

On May 30, 2005, Natalee Holloway disappeared after a night out in Aruba. Natalee's disappearance still has an impact to this day. If tips are received that could lead to clarity in this case, they will be investigated by the judicial authorities of Aruba (the Aruba police force, other investigative authorities and the Aruba public prosecutor's office). 

American journalist G.C. van Susteren announced in May 2022 via social media that she had important information that could solve the case of missing Natalee Holloway. 

In June 2022, an investigation was therefore started by the criminal investigation cooperation team (RST) under the leadership of the Aruba Public Prosecution Service, with the cooperation of the FBI. The investigation mainly focused on the question of whether the information provided by Van Susteren was so concrete and correct that it could indeed lead to a solution. Unfortunately, the information has not been able to contribute to solving Natalee's missing.

Greta Van Susteren @greta

Do me a favor - tweet @EvelynPMAruba and ask her why, since the Natalee Holloway investigation is closed, why they won’t give Beth Holloway a copy of the police file? What are they hiding? Also ask her about the evidence I have that they said they don’t want to see…

Peru agrees to temporarily hand over to the US the Dutchman Joran Van der Sloot

Lima, May 10 (EFE).- Peru agreed this Wednesday to temporarily hand over the Dutchman accused of murder, Joran Van der Sloot, who has been serving a sentence since 2012, following a request from the United States that intends to prosecute him for other crimes, reported the minister of Justice and Human Rights, Daniel Maurate Romero.

In a government statement, Minister Maurate indicated that the Executive has decided to agree to the request for temporary handover made by the US authorities of the Dutch citizen, "for his prosecution in the United States for the alleged commission of the crimes of extortion and fraud, to the grievance of Elizabeth Ann Holloway".

The decision was made at the Council of Ministers held this Wednesday at the Government Palace.

Van der Sloot was sentenced to 28 years in prison in 2012 for the murder of the Peruvian Stephany Flores in 2010, whom he met in a casino and later took her to his hotel room, where he strangled her to rob her, for which she decided to escape. to Chile, the country from where he was expelled and returned to Peru.

He confessed to this crime to try to reduce the sentence requested by the Prosecutor's Office, and 5 months later, in March 2012, the Peruvian Justice announced that the Dutchman would be extradited to the United States after serving his sentence in Peru.

At that time, a request for him to be tried for the alleged commission of extortion and fraud against the American Elizabeth Ann Holloway, mother of the missing Natalee Holloway, was declared appropriate.

Van der Sloot is one of the main suspects in the disappearance of Holloway, who was last seen with him in 2005 during his graduation trip to Aruba, a Caribbean island under the sovereignty of the Netherlands where the defendant resided.

Peru approves temporary extradition of Joran van der Sloot to United States

By WBRC Staff and Jonathan Hardison
Published: May. 10, 2023 at 7:38 PM CDT|Updated: 24 minutes ago

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The man accused of killing Mountain Brook teen Natalee Holloway during a high school graduation trip to Aruba in May 2005 is on his way back to the U.S. to face criminal charges, according to Holloway’s family.

In a statement released Wednesday night, Beth Holloway says the government of Peru has agreed to temporarily extradite Joran van der Sloot to Birmingham to face federal wire fraud and extortion charges related to an alleged attempt to extort the Holloway family for money in exchange for details about how Holloway died and where her remains are located.

“In May 2005 my 18-year-old daughter Natalee Holloway left Birmingham for Aruba to attend her high school graduation trip and was never seen again,” Holloway said in her statement. “She was abducted and murdered there. Now almost exactly eighteen years later, her perpetrator, Joran van der Sloot, has been extradited to Birmingham to answer for his crimes. While I will have much more to say later about what is happening, for now I want to express my sincere gratitude to President Dina Boluarte, the President of Peru, the warm people of Peru, the family of Stephany Flores, the FBI in Miami, Florida and in Birmingham, Alabama, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Birmingham, the U.S. Embassy in Peru and the Peruvian Embassy in the U.S., my longtime attorney John Q. Kelly who has worked tirelessly on this case, and George Seymore and Marc Wachtenheim of Patriot Strategies.

I was blessed to have had Natalee in my life for 18 years, and as of this month, I have been without her for exactly 18 years. She would be 36 years old now. It has been a very long and painful journey, but the persistence of many is going to pay off. Together, we are finally getting justice for Natalee.”


Van Der Sloot is imprisoned in Peru and serving a 28-year prison sentence for the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramírez in 2010.

The federal indictment filed in 2010 alleges Van der Sloot demanded Beth Holloway wire him $250,000 in exchange for revealing the location of Natalee Holloway’s remains. Federal prosecutors say Holloway wired $25,000 and Van der Sloot lead the family to a location in Aruba where he said Natalee Holloway’s remains were buried, but knew that to be false.

“We hope that this action will enable a process that will help to bring peace to Mrs. Holloway and to her family, who are grieving in the same way that the Flores family in Peru is grieving for the loss of their daughter, Stephany” said Ambassador Gustavo Meza-Cuadra, Peru’s Ambassador to the United States.

The U.S. Attorney’s office in Birmingham declined to comment on Holloway’s statement or the potential extradition of Van der Sloot.

Dutch suspect in Natalee Holloway disappearance will be sent from Peru to US to face fraud charges
By REGINA GARCIA CANO
a few seconds ago

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Peru’s government will allow the extradition to the United States of the prime suspect in the unsolved 2005 disappearance of American student Natalee Holloway on the Dutch Caribbean Island of Aruba, bringing her family hope there will be justice in the case.

Dutch citizen Joran van der Sloot will face trial for alleged extortion and wire fraud, charges stemming from the Holloway case. The Peruvian Embassy in Washington told The Associated Press on Wednesday the executive order allows for his temporary extradition.
 ::snipping3::
“At a time when there is increasingly greater cross-border transit of people, our institutions are keeping up to ensure that criminals are brought to justice,” Edgar Alfredo Rebaza, director of Peru’s Office of International Judicial Cooperation and Extraditions of the National Prosecutor’s Office, said in a statement. “We will continue to collaborate on legal issues with allies such as the United States, and many others with which we have extradition treaties.”

A 2001 treaty between Peru and the U.S. allows a suspected to be temporarily extradited to face trial in the other country. It requires that the prisoner “be returned” after judicial proceedings are concluded “against that person, in accordance with conditions to be determined by” both countries.
 ::snipping3::
“She would be 36 years old now. It has been a very long and painful journey, but the persistence of many is going to pay off. Together, we are finally getting justice for Natalie.” Beth Holloway said.

Attorney Maximo Altez, who represents Van der Sloot, told the AP he will fight the decision once he is properly notified by the Peruvian government.

“I am going to challenge that resolution,” Altez said. “I am going to oppose it since he has the right to a defense.”

Van der Sloot pleaded guilty in January 2012 to a murder charge in the slaying of Flores.

Prosecutors accused him of killing Flores, a business student from a prominent family, to rob her after learning she had won money at the casino where the two met. They said he killed her with “ferocity” and “cruelty,” beating then strangling her in his hotel room.

Van der Sloot could not immediately be reached for comment on Wednesday. More than a decade ago, he told a Peruvian judge that he would fight efforts to be extradited to the U.S.

Prime Suspect In Disappearance of Natalee Holloway To Be Extradited To The United States
by Crime Online Staff
May 10, 2023

Joran van der Sloot, the suspect in the disappearance of American Natalee Holloway, will be extradited to the United States to face criminal charges, Holloway’s mother announced Wednesday.

Beth Holloway, Natalee’s mother, said in a statement, “In May 2005 my 18-year-old daughter Natalee Holloway left Birmingham for Aruba to attend her high school graduation trip and was never seen again. She was abducted and murdered there. Now almost exactly eighteen years later, her perpetrator, Joran van der Slot, has been extradited to Birmingham to answer for his crimes.”

“He has been in prison in Peru for murdering another young girl there named Stephany Flores in 2010,” she continued.

“I was blessed to have had Natalee in my life for 18 years, and as of this month, I have been without her for exactly 18 years. She would be 36 years old now. It has been a very long and painful journey, but the persistence of many is going to pay off. Together, we are finally getting justice for Natalee.”

Joran van der Sloot is serving a 28-year prison sentence for the murder of Stephany Flores. He will now face U.S. charges for alleged crimes of extortion and wire fraud that stem from the Natalee Holloway case.

Natalee Holloway was last seen on May 30, 2005 in Aruba with van der Sloot. She was legally declared dead in 2012.

In 2010, a federal grand jury indicted van der Sloot on charges of wire fraud and extortion for allegedly soliciting money from Natalee Holloway’s mother on promises he would reveal the location of Natalee’s remains in Aruba and the details of her death in exchange for $250,000. According to the indictment, Holloway wired $15,000 directly to van der Sloot and another $10,000 to her attorney John Q. Kelly so he could deliver the money to van der Sloot in person in Aruba. If any remains were confirmed to be Natalee, van der Sloot would be paid the remaining $225,000.

After receiving the $25,000, he allegedly admitted the information he gave John Q. Kelly and Beth Holloway was false and “worthless”. He kept the money.

I've had all the same thoughts and more!  ::MonkeyNoNo:: ::MonkeyMad::

My understanding after all I've read is that he will be prosecuted here in Alabama, but returned to finish his sentence in Peru once this trial is over.  If/when he is convicted here and sentenced, they could negotiate to leave him here.  There's actually a fb group "Free Joran Van der Sloot" with 32 members, seemingly all from the Netherlands just from a glance.  Most of the comments I read on the Dutch pages last night were all for him being sent here because they don't want him eventually sent there to just be set free!

18 years after Natalee Holloway’s disappearance, Peru to extradite key suspect to US
By REGINA GARCIA CANO and FRANKLIN BRICENO
an hour ago

 ::snipping3::
A 2001 treaty between Peru and the U.S. allows a suspect to be temporarily extradited to face trial in the other country. It requires that the prisoner “be returned” after judicial proceedings are concluded “against that person, in accordance with conditions to be determined by” both countries.

The U.S. Justice Department declined to comment Thursday on the extradition from Peru. A resolution published in the South American country’s federal register states that U.S. diplomats on Jan. 10 presented the temporary extradition request to Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Relations.

The time that van der Sloot ends up spending in the U.S. “will be extended until the conclusion of the criminal proceedings,” including the appeal process should there be one, according to the published resolution. The resolution also says U.S. authorities agreed to return the suspect to the custody of Peru afterward.

The extradition request indicated “that an additional delay in the prosecution of the case that is being pursued in the United States of America could significantly reduce the possibility of conviction, that the ages and health conditions of the key witnesses in the case would make the prosecution would be extremely difficult if it is not carried out soon,” according to a March order from Peru’s top court.

Natalee Holloway case: Joran van der Sloot's extradition to US could be imminent
Published May 12, 2023 1:28pm EDT

BIRMINGHAM, ALA. – Joran van der Sloot, the primary suspect in the disappearance of Alabama student Natalee Holloway in 2005, could be extradited imminently, Peru's ambassador to the United States said during a television interview on Friday.

Peruvian officials announced late Wednesday that van der Sloot would be temporarily extradited to the United States, where he will face extortion and wire fraud charges. He is currently in a Peru prison after being sentenced to 28 years for the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in a Lima hotel room.

"We are working [to extradite van der Sloot] as soon as possible," Ambassador of Peru in the United States Gustavo Meza-Cuadra told ABC News on Friday. "We are refining some details of this process."

George Patriot Seymore, a spokesperson for Natalee Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway, told Fox News Digital that the extradition will happen within a week.

"A matter of days to a week," Seymore said. "The process is underway."
 ::snipping3::
Peruvian Justice Minister Daniel Maurate said to reporters after the extradition was announced that van der Sloot will serve time in an American prison after he finishes his sentence in Peru if he is convicted in the United States.

"In regard to Mr. (Joran) van der Sloot, we have made a temporary relocation to the United States, because he is condemned here, and he must serve his sentence here. But since the U.S. needs him in order to face trial and the authorities told us that if he didn't get there sooner, the case against him could be dropped because the witnesses are elderly. We are contributing so he can go there to be tried and sentenced, and come back to Peru to serve his sentence here. Once he finishes his sentence in Peru, he’ll go to the U.S. to serve his corresponding sentence there," Maurate said.

"We’ll take all the security measures so this person has no opportunities to escape. We trust American authorities. I think they have efficient ways to ensure this person will not escape in the U.S.," Maurate added.

Natalee Holloway case: Joran van der Sloot’s lawyer fears additional US charges
Van der Sloot's Peru-based attorney told Fox News Digital he has written a habeas corpus petition to stall the extradition
By Michael Ruiz, Haley Chi-Sing

EXCLUSIVE: Joran van der Sloot, the 36-year-old killer suspected in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba, had his U.S. extradition approved this week without a hearing, his lawyer told Fox News Digital, adding that he believes prosecutors are eyeing additional charges.

"I don’t trust the judicial system in the United States at this moment," Maximo Altez, van der Sloot’s defense attorney in the 2012 murder trial for the death of Stephany Flores, said Friday.

He believes the U.S. will try to tack on homicide charges to his extortion and wire fraud case, he said. And he has not yet been able to speak with his client despite the unexpected news of his expected extradition.

"We are not fighting for Joran’s innocence, we are fighting that his rights are respected," Altez said. "We are asking for due process."

Natalee Holloway suspect Joran van der Sloot getting divorced after prison drug smuggling scandal
By Michael Ruiz , Haley Chi-Sing

MOUNTAIN BROOK, Ala. - EXCLUSIVE - Despite brutally killing a young woman and being the prime suspect in the unsolved disappearance of another, he found love in prison.

But that appears to be over, according to his attorney. Joran van der Sloot, the 36-year-old suspect in the unsolved 2005 disappearance of Alabama high school student Natalee Holloway, is getting divorced.

He married Leidy Figueroa in a prison ceremony while serving a 28-year sentence for the brutal murder of Stephany Flores, a Peruvian business student whom he met at a casino and later beat to death in his hotel room.

Figueroa was seven months pregnant at the time of their wedding.

He told her he wanted to marry her all over again once his sentence was up, The Associated Press reported at the time.

But she is calling it quits with van der Sloot, who went on to face charges of trafficking drugs inside prison with the help of another girlfriend, his lawyer Maximo Altez told Fox News Digital.

Van der Sloot-Hugen and the man returned to her home and closed the gate behind them.

Paul van der Sloot, her former husband and the Dutch killer’s father, was an Aruba judge who died in 2010 — the same year their son murdered Stephany Flores in Lima, Peru.

Federal public defender appointed to represent Joran van der Sloot
By Jonathan Hardison
Published: May. 15, 2023 at 3:09 PM CDT|Updated: May. 15, 2023 at 3:24 PM CDT

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - A federal magistrate has appointed the federal public defender’s office to represent Joran van der Sloot as he faces federal wire fraud and extortion charges related to an alleged attempt to extort $250,000 from the family of missing Mountain Brook teen Natalee Holloway.

Kevin Butler, the federal public defender for the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Alabama filed a petition with the court last Friday asking a judge to assign a public defender to van der Sloot because “Mr. van der Sloot has been in custody since approximately 2010 and is indigent. Therefore under the aforementioned authority and in the interest of justice, the undersigned respectfully requests this motion be granted.”

Federal Judge Gray Borden granted the motion Monday, setting in motion the process to provide van der Sloot a court-ordered public defender as he prepares for extradition proceedings to bring him to the U.S. from Peru, where he is serving a 28-year prison sentence for the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramírez in 2010.

Natalee Holloway suspect Joran van der Sloot’s Peru prison on lockdown, complicating extradition, lawyer says
By Michael Ruiz , Haley Chi-Sing

MOUNTAIN BROOK, Ala. – EXCLUSIVE: A prison "incident" at a mountaintop penitentiary in Peru has prevented Joran van der Sloot’s lawyer from speaking with him for nearly a week after news broke he would be extradited to the U.S. to face federal charges.

Lawyer Maximo Altez told Fox News Digital that a lockdown there has cut off the inmates' access to phones or any other type of communication other than in-person meetings.

As a result, Altez said he had not spoken with van der Sloot yet, and without the official go-ahead from his client, has not filed a habeas corpus petition that could "paralyze" his pending extradition to the United States on federal extortion charges.

Joran van der Sloot eager to prove innocence in Natalee Holloway’s death, mother’s extortion: Peruvian attorney

Joran van der Sloot will not fight extradition to the U.S. to face charges he extorted thousands from Natalee Holloway’s mother.

That’s what his longtime Peruvian attorney Maximo Altez told the UK Daily Mail.

What’s more - the suspected killer of the Mountain Brook graduate plans to divorce his wife and marry a woman accused of smuggling drugs to him in jail, the lawyer said.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Altez said van der Sloot maintains he did not kill Natalee Holloway and “wants to ... prove he did not ask Ms. Holloway for money.”

“He realized he can be absolved of the charges,” Altez said.

A grand jury indicted him that year on one count each of wire fraud and extortion, each of which is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

But his attorney, Maximo Altez, has now made the extraordinary accusation that it was actually Natalee's mother, Beth, who approached van der Sloot offering money if he took her to her daughter's body.

'Joran wants to be extradited because he's innocent of the charges,' Altez told DailyMail.com. 'He was living his life in Aruba and got a call from Beth Holloway, who tricked him.

'She said: "Joran, tell me where the body is and I'll give you $250,000." He never asked for money, she's the one that offered.

'She even gave him an advancement and he never asked for the rest. He only got $25,000.'

Altez explained that his client is a 'sick person' and 'compulsive gambler', who 'needed the money to play at the casino'.

He claimed Mrs Holloway 'took advantage of him'.

Outlining a somewhat confusing case for the defense, Altez said his client admits he made up the location of Natalee's body, adding: 'He [van der Sloot] says if he's guilty of anything, it's fraud. But in reality he's a sick person.'

But he later clarified that the Dutchman 'is innocent of the two charges [of wire fraud and extortion]'.

The federal judge in the Alabama extortion case against Joran van der Sloot has recused herself from the case.

U.S. District Judge Karen Bowdre on Wednesday successfully sought the recusal, court records show. A reason for the request was not disclosed.

The case has been reassigned to U.S. District Judge Anna Manasco.

A Peruvian executive order last week paved the way for van der Sloot to be extradited to the U.S. to face charges he extorted thousands from Natalee Holloway’s mother.

There still is no finalized plan for the transfer and it’s unclear when he will arrive in the U.S.

EXCLUSIVE: Interpol officials will begin coordinating extradition plans Friday for Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway, according to the agency's Peruvian chief.
 ::snipping3::
In a Thursday interview with Fox News Digital, Col. Carlos López Aeda, the chief of Interpol in Lima, Peru, said he's meeting with the FBI and officials with Peru's National Penitentiary Institute to discuss details of van der Sloot's extradition.

"The United States has already promised to return Joran after the process defined there. We are going to proceed with the extradition," López Aeda said. "[Friday], I meet with the FBI and the prison police to coordinate the details of their transfers and define the extradition date."

López Aeda added that while extraditions can be done through "a commercial flight," van der Sloot's extradition will "most likely" take place on a U.S. government airplane.

López Aeda told Fox News Digital the meeting with the FBI and Peru's National Penitentiary Institute will happen in person.

George Patriot Seymore, Beth Holloway's spokesperson, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that the FBI is handling the extradition, which is happening "within a week." The FBI declined to comment.

By Adam Sabes , Armando Regil Velasco

EXCLUSIVE: An Interpol official says that Joran van der Sloot will be extradited from Peru by FBI agents in the first week of June.
 ::snipping3::
In an interview with Fox News Digital after a meeting with the FBI and other Peruvian agencies, Col. Carlos López Aeda, the chief of Interpol in Lima, Peru, said that van der Sloot will be made available to U.S. authorities on May 29 for extradition.

"As of May 29, he will be available so that the U.S. authorities can transfer him to the United States," López Aeda said. "They have indicated that, during the first week of June, an FBI aircraft with FBI agents will come to extradite him from a Peruvian Air Force base."

The Interpol official said that the extradition shouldn't happen later than June 8 or 9.

He also said that van der Sloot will be transferred to a maximum security prison in Lima by May 25. Van der Sloot is currently being held at Challapalca Prison, which is almost a day's drive away from Lima.

Before van der Sloot is extradited, he'll undergo several medical tests, López Aeda said.

"We are going to carry out the medical procedures to certify Joran's good health, the COVID tests that even the staff who are going to transfer him have to do, those of us who are going to participate in the security convoy and guarantee that all his rights are respected so that everything is carried out in the fastest and most efficient way unless the defense presents some appeal which we highly doubt it,"  López Aeda said.

"That's all for now, we're ready, we've done all the coordination in detail, now 'the ball is in the side of the United States", let them come and extradite him,'" he added.

Joran van der Sloot has been “severely beaten” in a Peruvian jail, according to his lawyer.

ABC News quoted the lawyer for the 35-year-old van der Sloot, Maximo Altez, as saying that he does not believe the beating was related to his client’s expected extradition to the U.S. on extortion charges, but rather to gang rules inside the Callapalca Prison where he is currently being held.
 ::snipping3::
According to Altez, van der Sloot is currently in the Peruvian prison’s medical aisle. The lawyer is requesting van der Sloot be moved to another prison for his own safety.

Natalee Holloway suspect Joran van der Sloot beaten in prison, lawyer says, and requests better security
Joran van der Sloot is imprisoned at Challapalca Maximum Security Prison in Lima, Peru

Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of American teen Natalee Holloway, was beaten in a Peruvian prison over the weekend, according to his lawyer, who is requesting better security for his client.
 ::snipping3::
In a complaint filed Monday, Van der Sloot’s lawyer, Maximo Altez, claimed that his client was involved in an altercation over the weekend with another inmate and requested he be moved to a separate wing of the prison.

"Given Joran Van der Sloot’s public profile, there is legitimate concern regarding his safety inside the prison," Altez wrote. "It is necessary to ensure that he is not a victim of violence, assaults or any form of abuse by other inmates."

"It is essential to remember that all people, regardless of their background or crimes committed, they have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. The rehabilitation and reintegration into society are important objectives of the system prison, and providing a safe and secure environment is critical to achieving these ends."

Other officials, including from Interpol, say van der Sloot's alleged beating has not been confirmed and have urged skepticism until all the facts are known.

Earlier this month, the Peruvian government said it would allow van der Sloot to be extradited to the United States. An Interpol official previously told Fox News Digital the extradition shouldn’t happen later than June 8 or June 9.

Natalee Holloway case suspect Joran van der Sloot wants to be transferred to the US, lawyer says
By Tatiana Arias, Claudia Rebaza, CNN, and Jimena de la Quintana, CNN Español
Updated 6:42 PM EDT, Tue May 30, 2023

Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, wants to be temporarily transferred to the United States, his attorney Maximo Altez said Tuesday.

Van der Sloot is set to be extradited from Peru to the United States to face extortion and fraud charges related to an alleged plot to extort Holloway’s family after her disappearance, Peruvian officials have said.

Altez said he received a letter from van der Sloot last week asking the attorney not to appeal his transfer to the United States. “I want to go to the US,” van der Sloot wrote, Altez told CNN en Español on Tuesday.

Van der Sloot was involved in a fight inside his prison ward during visiting hours on Saturday and suffered a cut to his fingers and some bruising, Altez said. He was placed in the prison’s medical section, Altez said.

“It wasn’t a direct assault against him, it was a fight among some inmates and my client got involved when he tried to defend his friend, who was injured on the leg. As a consequence (Joran) got injured in his hand,” Altez told CNN en Español.

The attorney had earlier said his client had been “severely” beaten, ABC News reported.

Van der Sloot, a Dutch national, was convicted in 2012 of murdering Stephany Flores, 21, in his Lima hotel room and sentenced to 28 years in prison.

“He (van der Sloot) was not beaten. He was not attacked,” a spokesperson for the Peruvian National Penitentiary Institute said in a statement sent to CNN en Español on Monday.

The spokesperson did not comment further.

Altez told CNN en Español that van der Sloot sent him another letter the day after the incident requesting his transfer to another ward or another prison.

Altez can’t communicate directly with his client as there are no phones inside Peru’s Challapalca Prison, so they communicate by letter, he said.

An attorney for the Holloway family, John Kelly, declined to comment when reached by CNN Tuesday.

 ::snipping3::
Máximo Altez, van der Sloot’s lawyer, said is client was being taken by land from the Challapalca prison in Peru’s southern Andes to the Piedras Gordas prison on the outskirts of Lima.

“In the coming days, the INPE (National Penitentiary Institute) will hand over the condemned man to Interpol Peru with the goal of handing him over to U.S. authorities from the FBI,” said a statement from the INPE released Saturday.

Altez said that once the bureaucratic procedures are completed and van der Sloot is given a medical exam, his client will be transferred to the U.S. He estimated the extradition could take place on Tuesday, but Peruvian officials did not confirm this day.

Van der Sloot has agreed to be sent to the United States where he faces trial for alleged extortion and wire fraud charges linked to the Holloway case, his lawyer said.

When asked by the Associated Press why his client agreed, the lawyer responded: “He is imprisoned in the worst prison in the world,” referring the maximum-security Challapalca prison.

“Any prison in the United States is a five-star hotel” in comparison, he said.

Big Move Made Ahead of Key Natalee Holloway Suspect's Extradition to US

 By The Associated Press
  June 3, 2023 at 10:32am

The chief suspect in the unsolved 2005 disappearance of American student Natalee Holloway is being transferred to a prison near Peru’s capital ahead of his pending extradition to the United States to face charges linked to her vanishing, officials said Saturday.

The government of Peru, where Dutch citizen Joran van der Sloot was serving a 28-year sentence for the murder of a Peruvian woman, authorized his extradition to the U.S. in May.

Máximo Altez, van der Sloot’s lawyer, said is client was being taken by land from the Challapalca prison in Peru’s southern Andes to the Piedras Gordas prison on the outskirts of Lima.

 ::snipping3::

Altez said that, according to the treaty between Peru and the United States, van der Sloot is being extradited to the U.S. temporarily for one year to face legal proceedings and in the event of a delay, this period can be extended for another year.

“At the end of this, he has to be returned to Peru,” Altez said. He will spend “at most two years in the United States.”


 ::snipping3::

A 2001 treaty between Peru and the U.S. allows a suspect to be temporarily extradited to face trial in the other country. It requires that the prisoner “be returned” after judicial proceedings are concluded “against that person, in accordance with conditions to be determined by” both countries.

(CNN Spanish) - This Friday CNN en Español exclusively recorded the images of Joran Van der Sloot's departure from the Challapalca prison in Tacna, Peru, bound for another prison in Lima, from where he will later be handed over to United States authorities for transfer to that country.

The images show how Van der Sloot leaves the area of the inmates' cells, is searched and handcuffed before being transferred to an office where he signs some documents and is evaluated by a prison doctor. After that, he got into a vehicle from the National Penitentiary Institute in which he was transferred by land, around 11 pm local time, to the Ancón I maximum security prison in Lima.

Peru's Ambassador to the U.S., Gustavo Meza-Cuadra, said earlier that he hoped Van der Sloot's temporary extradition to face the U.S. charges would "enable a process that will help to bring peace to Mrs. Holloway and to her family, who are grieving in the same way that the Flores family in Peru is grieving for the loss of their daughter, Stephany."

He should rot in Peru a jail in the US would be like a spa..

Lawyer: Suspect in Natalee Holloway disappearance to challenge extradition from Peru to US

Updated: Jun 5, 2023 / 05:43 PM CDT

LIMA, Peru (AP) — The lawyer for the main suspect in the unsolved 2005 disappearance of American student Natalee Holloway on Monday said his client has changed his mind and plans to challenge his extradition to the United States.

Defense attorney Máximo Altéz announced the decision of Dutchman Joran van der Sloot just hours after the Peruvian government confirmed the extradition would take place Thursday. Altéz said van der Sloot reversed course following a meeting with Dutch diplomats.

“He does not want to be extradited to the United States of America,” Altéz said, adding that he intended to file a writ of habeas corpus. “He was visited today by his embassy (representatives) who made him see the mistake he was making by being extradited without due process.”

The attorney said van der Sloot was never notified of an open extradition process, and as a result, was not able to challenge it. Less than a week ago, Altéz had said his client explained in a letter he did not plan to challenge the extradition.

The embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This process could slow down when van der Sloot is transferred to the U.S., but it is unclear how much this action will delay his extradition.

Dutch suspect changes his mind and will now seek to stop his extradition from Peru to the US
By MAURICIO MUÑOZ - Associated Press Jun 5, 2023 Updated 2 min ago

LIMA (AP) — The lawyer for the Dutch prisoner Joran Van der Sloot announced Monday that he will file an appeal before a Lima court to prevent his client's extradition to the United States, scheduled for Thursday, so that he can be prosecuted for a case linked to the disappearance of a young American.

“He has changed his mind and does not want to be extradited to the United States; He was visited today by his embassy (Netherlands), which made him see the mistake he was making by being extradited without due process, "said his lawyer Máximo Altez in an interview with international media. .

The prisoner is in a Lima jail awaiting his extradition to the United States on Thursday, where he will be prosecuted for a case linked to the disappearance of a young American woman in 2005, Peruvian prison authorities reported Monday. He is serving time for the murder of another woman that happened five years later.

But the defense attorney explained mid-afternoon on Monday, regarding his client's change of heart, that "he has realized that if he travels to the United States he will not have a fair trial." before a jury and that the jury is made up of ordinary people, "who are influenced by the newspapers. " In his opinion, "there is currently a media lynching against him."

Altez added that he will present a "habeas corpus" against the president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, against the president of the Council of Ministers, Alberto Otárola, and against the Minister of Justice, Daniel Maurate. In parallel, Altez assured, the embassy of the Netherlands is filing a complaint with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the lack of due process.

The Associated Press called the Dutch embassy in Lima and the Peruvian Justice Ministry for comment without immediate response. The Peruvian Foreign Ministry responded that "they have not received any complaint from the Netherlands regarding the case."

The defender of the implicated commented that the "habeas corpus" processes must be resolved within 24 hours, "but in practice that does not happen", for which he assured that all efforts will be made "to avoid this transfer".

Joran van der Sloot will likely be transferred to US despite last-minute efforts: Interpol official
By Adam Sabes, Armando Regil Velasco

An Interpol official in Peru tells Fox News Digital he believes Joran van der Sloot will be transferred to the United States despite last-minute efforts by his lawyer to keep him in the country.

Van der Sloot is the prime suspect in the May 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba during a Mountain Brook High School, Alabama, senior trip.

Maximo Altez, a lawyer for van der Sloot, told Fox News Digital he has filed a habeas corpus petition against the Peruvian government in an attempt to stop the transfer of his client to the United States.

The court filing by Altez says his client wasn't notified by Peruvian officials of the "temporary extradition" process that was ongoing against him, which Altez contends is a "serious constitutional violation."

According to the lawyer, the Peruvian court has 24 hours from Tuesday morning to respond to the petition.

However, Col. Carlos López Aeda, the chief of Interpol in Lima, Peru, told Fox News Digital he believes the extradition will still happen as planned Thursday.

López Aeda said van der Sloot is being held at the Ancón 1 Prison in Lima until he's transferred to FBI custody on Thursday. The FBI will then take him to the U.S.

"He is already admitted to the Ancón 1 Prison in Lima awaiting his next transfer to the USA," López Aeda said.

A Peruvian court on Wednesday ordered the director of Ancón 1 Prison to notify van der Sloot of the upcoming extradition.

By Adam Sabes , Armando Regil Velasco

FIRST ON FOX: The lawyer for Joran van der Sloot has again appealed his client's upcoming temporary transfer to the U.S. with time running out.
 ::snipping3::
Van der Sloot is the prime suspect in the May 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba during a Mountain Brook High School, Alabama, senior trip. He's facing federal charges relating to an alleged extortion scheme connected to her disappearance.

Maximo Altez, a lawyer for van der Sloot, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that he has filed another appeal in what appears to be a last-ditch effort to stop his client from being temporarily transferred to the U.S., where he'll face federal charges.

In the filing obtained by Fox News Digital, Altez writes that he's filing the "Precautionary measure to avoid the extradition of [Joran van der Sloot]." The filing was presented to the court on Wednesday afternoon.

Altez also told Fox News Digital that the Peruvian court hasn't yet denied his habeas corpus petition filed on Tuesday.

Time is running out as van der Sloot's lawyer seeks to stop the transfer. Col. Carlos López Aeda, the chief of Interpol in Lima, Peru, told Fox News Digital earlier that the FBI will leave Lima with the Dutch national on Thursday.

The habeas corpus petition by Altez says his client wasn't notified by Peruvian officials of the "temporary extradition" process that was ongoing against him, which Altez contends is a "serious constitutional violation."

Joran van der Sloot case: FBI leaves Peru with Natalee Holloway suspect to face charges in US: source
The plane carrying Joran van der Sloot took off shortly before 8:00 a.m.
By Adam Sabes , Armando Regil Velasco

LIMA, Peru – EXCLUSIVE: Joran van der Sloot left Peru on Thursday morning and is en route to the United States with agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Van der Sloot is the prime suspect in the May 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba during a Mountain Brook High School, Alabama, senior trip.

The plane took off shortly before 8:00 a.m. from Jorge Chavez International Airport, according to van der Sloot's lawyer, Maximo Altez.

Altez has filed multiple appeals in attempts to stop the temporary extradition, but Peruvian courts didn't take action on them before his client's departure.

In an earlier court filing, Altez says his client wasn't notified by Peruvian officials of the "temporary extradition" process that was ongoing against him, which Altez contends is a "serious constitutional violation."

Van der Sloot is expected to arrive in Birmingham, Alabama on Thursday afternoon.

Plane carrying Joran van der Sloot, who is accused of extorting and defrauding Natalee Holloway’s mom, lands in US from Peru
Josh Campbell
By Josh Campbell and Steve Almasy, CNN
Updated 5:47 PM EDT, Thu June 8, 2023

Joran van der Sloot has landed in the United States, where he is accused of extorting money from the mother of Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teen who was last seen with the Dutch national and two others 18 years ago in Aruba.

FBI agents flew with van der Sloot on a US Department of Justice plane to an airport in Birmingham, Alabama, where he landed Thursday afternoon.

He was taken to a jail in Birmingham, not far from Holloway’s hometown of Mountain Brook.

He will be arraigned in federal court in Birmingham on Friday at 11 a.m. CT, according to court records.
 ::snipping3::
Agents arrived in Peru – where van der Sloot is imprisoned for the murder of another woman – on Wednesday afternoon, a law enforcement source familiar with the operation told CNN.

The FBI used one of its planes in what it calls a foreign transfer of custody operation. Typically, the team comprises two FBI special agent pilots, at least one additional auxiliary crew member, and several agents providing security for the prisoner. In many long-haul flights, a medic also accompanies the team.

Prisoners are watched and wear restraints the entire time. The flight from Lima to Birmingham on the Gulfstream 550 took about six and a half hours.

Van der Sloot was seen leaving the Ancón 1 prison in Lima early Thursday, as he was driven away in a black van while in the custody of law enforcement. He arrived at Peru’s Air Force Base Grupo where officials have said he is expected to be handed over to the FBI.

On Friday at 11 a.m. in the Hugo L. Black Courthouse, van der Sloot is set for his initial court appearance and will begin what has been a long journey to justice in Alabama.

As van der Sloot spends his first night in Alabama, Natalee Holloway’s mother Beth released the following statement that reads in part:

“Today, as Joran van der Sloot’s extradition to the United States is finally realized, I am overcome with mixed emotions. As a mother who has tirelessly pursued justice for the abduction and murder of my precious daughter, I stand before you today with a heart both heavy with sorrow and yet lifted by a glimmer of hope.”

Joran van der Sloot, the chief suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway, pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges that he attempted to extort money from the missing teen’s mother.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Joran van der Sloot, the chief suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway, pleaded not guilty Friday to federal charges that he tried to extort money from the missing teen’s mother in exchange for revealing the location of her body. ::snipping3::

Natalee’s mother, Beth Holloway, watched the brief proceeding from the third row of the courtroom. She stared occasionally at van der Sloot but showed no obvious emotion.

U.S. prosecutors say that in 2010, van der Sloot reached out to Beth Holloway, seeking $250,000 to lead her to the young woman’s body and reveal the circumstances of her death. A grand jury indicted him that year.

In 2012, van der Sloot pleaded guilty in Peru to killing 21-year-old Stephany Flores, a business student from a prominent Peruvian family. She was killed in 2010 — five years to the day after Holloway’s disappearance. ::snipping3::

Van der Sloot walked into the Birmingham courtroom confidently with a smirk on his face, with Beth Holloway's eyes on him for most of the arraignment.

"Now eighteen years later, the wheels of justice have finally begun to turn for our family and we are getting our long-awaited day in court," Beth Holloway said. "With the felony arraignment complete, prosecution of this criminal case has officially begun. Joran van der Sloot’s not guilty plea is not disheartening to us, it simply means that his legal team is going to try to make the state prove the case against him. We are confident the U.S. Attorney’s office in Birmingham, Alabama will succeed in getting a conviction, and we are very grateful to them for their hard work on this case."

"As I’ve said before, I was blessed to have had Natalee in my life for 18 years, and as of this summer, I have been without her for exactly 18 years. She would be 36 years old now. It has been a very long and painful journey, but we are finally getting justice for Natalee," she added.

Joran van der Sloot case: Natalee Holloway suspect's arraignment went 'exactly as expected,' experts say

His first appearance in federal court revealed no surprises. The court appointed a federal public defender, Kevin Butler; van der Sloot pleaded not guilty, and the judge ordered him held without bail.

Van der Sloot, who murdered 21-year-old Stephany Flores in Peru in 2010, is facing federal extortion and wire fraud charges for allegedly trying to sell Holloway's family the fake location of her remains for $250,000. ::snipping3::

Magistrate Judge Gray Borden told van der Sloot he would only accept a not-guilty plea in the extortion and wire fraud case and that if the Dutch national were to decide to plead guilty, he could do so at a later date. ::snipping3::

If he is convicted, he will return to American soil after his expected release in 2038 to serve up to 40 years in federal prison, although he might not receive the maximum, according to Lara Yeretsian, a defense attorney

Joran van der Sloot arraignment: Interpol slaps down claims Dutch embassy interfered with extradition
By Michael Ruiz , Armando Regil Velasco

EXCLUSIVE: A high-ranking law enforcement official in Peru is dismissing claims that Dutch authorities tried to hamper attempts to bring Natalee Holloway suspect and Dutch national Joran van der Sloot to the U.S. to face federal charges.

"The Dutch authorities have collaborated with us, that's why they made an emergency passport," Col. Carlos López Aeda, the chief of Interpol in Lima, Peru, told Fox News Digital on Friday.

However, he said, van der Sloot refused to receive or sign the passport, forcing immigration authorities to come up with an alternative and issue the convicted killer official exit documents.

"Everyone who leaves or enters has to follow the rules and procedures established by the immigration authorities," López Aeda explained. "The Embassy of the Netherlands did not interpose any obstacle or advise the defense at all, they only limited themselves to providing him with the passport that he rejected because he did not want to sign anything."

The colonel's remarks appear to directly contradict claims by van der Sloot's Lima-based defense attorney Maximo Altez, who said publicly that Dutch embassy officials had been interfering in a bid to halt or delay the extradition and urged the 35-year-old to fight extradition in a prison visit before he was placed in temporary U.S. custody.

A spokesperson for the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs previously told Fox News Digital they could not discuss individual matters.

"The Netherlands cannot interfere in the local legal process of another country," the spokesperson said. "We provide consular assistance, including visits, to all Dutch nationals in foreign detention who wish to do so."

 ::snipping3::
George Seymore, the Holloway family spokesperson, spoke to "GMA3" hosts Phil Lipof and Eva Pilgrim about what led up to the extradition and what the Holloway family is hoping for.

GMA 3: So this story has captured the public's attention for many years now. Can you just give us a sense of what was going on behind the scenes to make this extradition take place?

SEYMORE: Well, behind the scenes, we received a contact actually from Greta Van Susteren back in April, and my company was representing the government of Peru. So we worked with the government of Peru, the embassy and the leadership there in Peru to move this forward. And we're very excited that we're all here to face justice for Natalee, finally, after 18 long years.

GMA 3: Currently, van der Sloot is facing charges, two charges, extortion and fraud, but not murder. I'm wondering, how do these charges relate to Natalee's disappearance?

SEMOYRE: Well, they're unrelated to her disappearance, but these were the charges that were available to us, and we're hoping that the process would lead to more information in terms of Natalee's whereabouts, remains.

GMA 3: What is the Holloway family hoping for at this point?

SEYMORE: At this time, we're hoping for more answers. We're hoping that this process reveals some information. We hope that there will be some discovery that presents some more evidence to the ultimate disappearance of Natalee. And in terms of justice, the maximum sentence would be 40 years if convicted. And that would be, again, some resemblance for justice for the Holloway family.

Joran van der Sloot’s Mom Knows ‘She Can’t Help Him Anymore’ After Extradition to US (Exclusive)
Anita van der Sloot's support for her son lasted for years — but a family friend says his arrival in the US to face trial may be the last straw
Published 06/19/23 05:08 PM ET|Updated 8 hr ago

 ::snipping3::

In 2010 — the same year his father died — van der Sloot was accused of killing Peruvian business student Stephany Flores.

After a conviction, he began serving a 28-year murder sentence in Peru. During that time, his mother visited her son and sent him multiple letters, according to jail records.

But van der Sloot's recent extradition to the U.S., where he is expected to face trial for two federal counts of extortion and wire fraud, may be the final straw for Anita — even if her son has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

"It has all become too much," a family friend tells The Messenger. "How many times can he get into trouble and have her defend him? She knows she can't help him anymore."

For those who knew the family, Anita's unwavering faith in her son over the years was astonishing.

"Joran's parents always believed everything he told them," a neighbor, Maaike Vries, tells The Messenger. "When [Holloway] disappeared, they were convinced that he was being set up and that he had nothing to do with it. It was denial."

Things began to shift as Joran repeatedly got in trouble in prison.

Those close to Anita's family noticed that she no longer talked about her infamous son Joran. "It was like he didn't exist anymore," says Vries. "She didn't ever talk about him."

In a 2010 interview with ABC News, Anita called her son a "sneaky liar" and habitual gambler who would sneak out to visit the casinos. She mused that perhaps he should have become an actor.

But still, she supported him.

Now 35, van der Sloot sits in an Alabama prison, awaiting trial on U.S. soil.

Joran van der Sloot was processed into Shelby County Jail in Alabama on June 8 after an extradition flight from Peru.Shelby County Jail
He was indicted in the U.S. by a federal grand jury on extortion and wire fraud charges related to the Holloway disappearance in 2010.

Prosecutors allege in the indictment that he attempted to extort Natalee's mother, Beth Holloway, for $250,000 in return for information about how her daughter died and the location of her body.

According to emails obtained by The Messenger, van der Sloot was in touch with an attorney representing Holloway, John. Q. Kelly, about the alleged plan to exchange the information for cash.

During a meeting in Aruba between the two men, van der Sloot collected a portion of the funds while more was delivered by wire transfer, according to the 2010 indictment.

Van der Sloot "did identify that location as the site where Natalee Holloway's remains were buried" during the meeting, the indictment reads.

But no remains were ever found. "The information, as the defendant then knew, was false," alleges the indictment, which was filed June 30, 2010, in Birmingham, Ala.

Holloway was legally declared dead by a judge in 2012.

Van der Sloot's mother has not publicly commented on her son's arrival in the U.S.

"I have nothing to say," a woman who answered a phone belonging to Anita van der Sloot told The Messenger. "Please don't call here again."

"It's tragic," says Vries of the despair the van der Sloot family has experienced for nearly two decades.

"They were a thriving family until 2005, and then it's just been tragedies, all because of Joran. He really did break his mom's heart. And now she's lost him forever."

But Holloway's family considers van der Sloot's June 8 extradition something of a relief.

"She would be 36 years old now," Beth Holloway said in a statement of her daughter. "It has been a very long and painful journey, but the persistence of many is going to pay off. Together, we are finally getting justice for Natalee."

They read his confession on the radio about an hour ago. I was in the car. I cried. I do believe it but if he put her body in the ocean that means the video we all saw of the searchers holding what looked to be Natalee's top very likely was her top! They would have found SOMETHING of her body. I have to believe if this is the truth, that the police did find her and they got rid of her. And then proceeded to torture her family. I don't know how I feel but I can't stop thinking about Beth and Dave. I'm just glad that they can finally stop now. So much. So much time and heartbreak. All those years. Sorry I'm rambling.

May he burn in hell.  I still think she was in the cage and they removed her and got rid of any sign of her. I guess this is all we will ever see of this. He is a Christian---yeah right. He is a liar.

"Fell out of the car and hit her head" We all knew there was truth in that early statement of Joran's. And it taking place at the Fisherman's Huts was an early rumor too. I'm just so stunned that we finally know. Somehow an overdose would have been better than this. I'm sick.

Me too. BUT WALA I made it.

I posted photos of the cage/trap and it's blank. Well, it's the photos that whats his face posted to us and it shows what appear to be Joran's tennis shoes and Natalee's dress, that eventually the Aruba police took into custoday. Pretty sure Aruba police took the items and put them somewhere that can't be found.

OMG, I'm so happy we could be here on this day!  ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyGavel:: ::justice2nj2:: ::monkeyflag3:: ::MonkeyWaa::
I started to try earlier today, and thought I didn't need the disappointment after the morning I'd had, but something made me give it a try just now and here I am!  ::MonkeyCheer3::

THANK YOU, RED!  You've provided this gathering place for all of us for so many years, there are no words to adequately express my sincere appreciation!  Thank you especially for opening the forum back up on this most precious day to us all!  ::MonkeyHeart:: ::monkeywine2::

IMO, Joran's confession may actually be what happened that night.  But I know from following countless stories over many years in the Aruba media, that if he pushed her out to sea from knee deep water, she came back to shore (no doubt in my mind).  The damage that monster did was too great for them to allow her to ever be found, there was no way it could be deemed an accident.  So the powers that be took care of it to keep his crimes against an American tourist hidden and protect their precious tourism.  The torment and vilification Natalee's family suffered through the years for refusing to give up will never be forgotten.  Beth endured so much more than anyone because she took every step she thought would get answers, and took a lot of criticism for some of them, but we wouldn't be here today if she hadn't!  I've thought about the Persistence mission today too... a lot.  Whatever anyone did to keep Natalee's family from having the peace in bringing her home for a proper burial is on them, they have to live with themselves.  I wouldn't want to be them.  They will answer to God one day too.   

I'm so thankful that I lived long enough to see the day that Beth said it's over and there has been Justice for Natalee!  God bless her and give her peace.  ::MonkeyAngel:: ::MonkeyHeart::

God bless Dave (and family) and Matt (and family) and give them peace as well.  Matt looked so handsome standing there with Beth today after court. 

Natalee will live on in all of them, and through all of us as well.  We will never forget her.  ::MonkeyAngel::

::MonkeyAngel::Justice for Natalee! FINALLY! ::jeep3:: ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyCheer3:: ::MonkeyCheer4:: ::MonkeyGavel:: ::monkeyflag3:: ::justice2nj2:: ::MonkeyHeart::

They read his confession on the radio about an hour ago. I was in the car. I cried. I do believe it but if he put her body in the ocean that means the video we all saw of the searchers holding what looked to be Natalee's top very likely was her top! They would have found SOMETHING of her body. I have to believe if this is the truth, that the police did find her and they got rid of her. And then proceeded to torture her family. I don't know how I feel but I can't stop thinking about Beth and Dave. I'm just glad that they can finally stop now. So much. So much time and heartbreak. All those years. Sorry I'm rambling. I didn't believe we'd ever be here. Love you Monkeys!

 ::HelloKitty:: ::MonkeyKiss::

I've cried a lot today too, so bittersweet!  ::MonkeyTears::  And I agree 100% that Joran pushing her out to sea from knee deep water wasn't the final disposal of her remains.  The manipulation and pure torture her family endured for trying to find her and find the truth of what happened to her is unforgivable.  Everyone traveling there needs to know Natalee's story.  I was sickened listening to one guy being interviewed on Court TV that was talking about how low the crime rate is and how there's hardly ever any violent crime there!   ::MonkeyNoNo::

I can see a scenario where Joran didn't know about the cage.  If he pushed her out as he said he did and then told Papa what he'd done, it very well could have been taken care of the same night before anyone even knew she was missing.  All in the name of tourism of course!  I'd like to know what kind of prescription medication he's on (from one of the docs I read today).  Dave's statement today was interesting too, imo it seems he doesn't believe Joran was solely responsible for her never being recovered either.

Just letting everyone know the trial is over today with the wire fraud concerning Beth Holloway and Joran van der Sloot. Long story short, he plead guilty to murdering Natalee Holloway in Aruba. He got twenty years running concurrent with the time in the Peruvian prison. If he gets out early in Peru, he will have to come to America to finish his time. Ok, now the shocker. Joran stood up and said he was not the same person that had killed Natalee and that he had changed. He had accepted Jesus Christ into his life. Can that happen?...Of course it can, for anyone! There is no limit on God's salvation and forgiveness.
We all fall short of the Glory of God. We are all sinners in need of a savior.
(Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.)
(Matthew 6: 14 For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.)
Do you see how important it is to forgive? Our very salvation depends on it!. Do you want to go to hell for someone that you chose not to forgive?
Leave it to God...(Romans 12:19  Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.)
So to the end. I pray that his confession was true and just. Do I forgive him? yes... Is it easy?.....NO. When things like this pop up, I have to start the process over again. I read the scriptures and KNOW who is in charge of my life. I am a Christian and called to live a different life, a life like Jesus. It is not an easy road, but God promises to be with us at all times. Its worth everything to be with them forever. Jesus dying in my place and going to hell for three days. Wow!! The bible says. The wages of sin is death. Jesus paid for all of my sins.  Past, present and future. .And HE rose again. I will get to do the same. Be raised a new creation. Now that is love!

Hi Texasmom.  I felt so bad when Beth said it is over. If she is satisfied, then I am satisfied but my heart breaks into a million pieces that someone is so savage that they would kill not one but 2 women.  I pray for Beth, Dave, Matt and all their families that they have found true peace and live their lives the way Natalee would want them to. I don't know what to do with my time now cause whether I logged in or not I always checked in to see if there was closure. GOD bless each and every one of you who stood by Natalee, Beth, Dave and Matt and families. It has been a long journey for them but they reached the end of the road.   ::MonkeyTears::  ::MonkeyAngel::

Yesterday I stumbled across a podcast that had done recent episodes about Natalee. I thought y'all might enjoy it. It is called People Are The Worst and the Natalee episodes are #64, 65, 66, and 67. The podcasters are two women from Mountain Brook that actually went to school with Natalee (one year behind). They tell a lot of personal stories from their experience as her disappearance was unfolding as they go through the timeline of events. It is very very well done in my opinion (even though the hosts can get a tiny bit annoying at times). The information is very detailed and it brought back all of those memories for me. So happy to see everyone again!

Aruba requests Joran van der Sloot’s US investigation records in possible Natalee Holloway prosecution
Published: Oct. 19, 2023, 2:29 p.m.
By Carol Robinson | crobinson@al.com

Prosecutors in Aruba on Thursday asked the U.S. Department of Justice to send them records from its investigation of Joran van der Sloot, a spokeswoman told AL.com.

The request came after van der Sloot’s confession to having killed Natalee Holloway in 2005 and disposing of her body was made public in federal court in Birmingham on Wednesday.

Spokeswoman Ann Angela said prosecutors in Aruba wish to review DOJ records “before deciding on the procedural steps to be taken.”

It has been widely reported that because the statute of limitations for homicide in Aruba is 12 years it was unlikely van der Sloot would be prosecuted for the killing of the then 18-year-old Mountain Brook High School graduate.

AL.com asked prosecutors in Aruba on Wednesday if there was any plan to charge van der Sloot in light of the detailed confession.

“Your question as to whether the suspicion against Joran van der Sloot is statute-barred, cannot be answered with a straightforward yes or no,” Angela replied today.

It’s a blessing for the Holloway family and if Beth is satisfied, I will be too. But from the years of lie after lie and reading all the “uh” in his confession, I still doubt he told the whole truth. At least he has finally admitted he did it. He ruined so many lives. I think he confessed because his drug supply is better in Peru. I hope Aruba prosecutes him also but it is Aruba so haha

I’ll forever remember Natalee and forever not allow my (adult) children to travel to Aruba

Joran van der Sloot’s Chilling Confession to Natalee Holloway Murder Has His Mom Wondering ‘Where She Went Wrong’ (Exclusive)

'She's devastated' and 'had never heard that story before,' a family source tells The Messenger
Published 10/20/23 01:53 PM ET|Updated 4 hr ago
Steve Helling

Joran van der Sloot has been a suspect in the 2005 disappearance of American teen Natalee Holloway for nearly two decades.

This week the world learned that he confessed to brutally killing Holloway on a beach in Aruba — and so did his mother, Anita van der Sloot-Hugan.

"She's devastated by the confession," a family source close to the killer's mom tells The Messenger. "She had never heard that story before.

On Oct. 3, van der Sloot shared in gruesome detail how he bludgeoned Holloway to death with a cinderblock and then dragged her body out to sea during an interview that was recorded, transcribed and released after a court appearance in Alabama this week.

"I smash her head in with it completely," he said. "Her face basically collapses in. Even though it's dark, I can see her face is collapsed in."

"It's very cold blooded," says the source close to van der Sloot's mother. "And he was only 17. She'll always wonder where she went wrong with him."

Van der Sloot's mom: 'Joran is sick in his head'
The mother of Joran van der Sloot, suspect in a killing in Peru and an American teen's disappearance in Aruba, tells a Dutch newspaper that her son needs mental help.
June 19, 2010, 7:07 PM CDT

The mother of Joran van der Sloot, the Dutchman accused of murdering a 21-year-old Lima student and long suspected in the disappearance of an American teenager in Aruba, says her son needs mental help but is not the monster people make him out to be.

"Joran is sick in his head, but he wanted no help," Anita van der Slot said, breaking her silence on the case in an interview published Saturday in the Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf (The Telegraph).

In the Mountain Brook yearbook, Holloway’s senior quote came from the old Lynyrd Skynyrd song “Freebird.” It says: “If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me? For I must be traveling on now, there’s too many places I haven’t seen.”

Can you believe we are all still alive after ALL THESE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!! CASE SOLVED!



My sentiments exactly, Kermit!  ::rhino::  So thankful WE MADE IT!  ::MonkeyGavel:: ::justice2nj2:: ::MonkeyHeart:: ::monkeywine2::

I was thinking about  you today. I want you to know that all of your hard work on not only this case but also other cases is very appreciated. You have shown to others your courage and determination and smarts when it comes to bringing justice for families that need you and you gave so much of your time and help it is incredible and so appreciated. I know you had your share of vile self serving idiots attacking you and misusing information, I feel badly that I couldn't do anything to stop them and protect you. Klassand also had her share of the attacks and again, it was my fault because I couldn't protect her either. I'm sorry Klassand. In my case, I was the one who sat on the site meter that Natalee's Freebirds had set up on their blog. I sat there night after night watching people come and go reading our blog and one night Joran showed up. I did not skip a beat. I hit print screen and I was not even shaking, I made a copy which I knew how to do. I immediately sent an email to Beth Holloway. I told her that Joran came into our site and I would be willing to send her the screenshot. You see at that time, everyone was reporting that Joran was in Peru and another country gambling, HOWEVER, I saw his IP and he was in Aruba! So I immediately sent the screenshot to Beth Holloway. She contacted her attorney John Q. Kelly and that was history and why John flew to Aruba to meet Joran and brought the money that Joran wanted to extort from Beth. YEE HAW! Thanks to John, who was not missing a beat to confront Joran van der Sloot. Then the paperwork was filed to have him brought to the U.S. and charged. I don't know who was preaching to Joran to make him a "Christian"? But for whatever reasons, he confessed. As you or most of you know Kyle Kingman showed up at Natalee's Freebirds website and started posting photos of the cage that to me and others in our group, looked like Natalee's body had been placed inside, including Joran's shoe and a police hat and it looks like Natalee's blouse. As much as we *freebirds* wanted to keep it all secret, I was the lone wolf because Kyle kingman was not being honest and I knew it. He was at another site and Klassand and I lets call it inifiltrated under the name of "kiwi". Klassand is really much more knowledgeable about computer stuff and I am not, so she got in and copied what she wanted too, or was important. AT that time, the people running that site attacked me. And at one point, I had the police involved in my home taking police evidence. Because I always wanted to be a cop, but they told me no you raise your kids. This group of people, you all know them was threatening me and my own children. But, I had very nice friends from SM and they went to bat and started doing their own research as those people set up some website to expose all of my personal information and Klassand's personal information. Just plain and simply evil  individuals. I moved. I left town as one would say. Now all my information was with the police and investigators. Two of them were arrested and jailed, one of them apparently was out on parole so that was not allowed for him to get doing anything on websites. They also attacked others in our group and I'm not someone who will not defend or go to bat for people who do nothing but good and did not deserve their exposing their information.
I take my hat off to them, I at least have police in my family, and they don't. But I believe that I am not their judge in this life, they will meet him one day. None of them have apologized to me, I don't know if they have to anyone else. Beth has been a mother who never gave up and I know when she went to Peru no one had heard form her and I was beginning to get scared for  her, so I contacted her, to see if she was ok. She contacted me quickly to let me know she was all right. I'm sure in her heart she will always carry everything that happened to her daughter, but honestly because of what happened, I believe a lot of young kids are safer, they know what Aruba is like. Everyone on this site and all the other sites some of you were on, including sites that some of us were prevented from being on, helped in some way, to lead us to this point with a killer/murderer behind bars for a very long time. I kept silent, to be able to catch Natalee's murderer. There was no way I knew that Joran WOULD show up on that site meter reading the articles that me and our small group had posted, but he did. And that nailed him.
I thank all of you who were in one way or another part of this ending to Natalee's story. Cuz of you, I was able to piece information together, because of Klassand I was able to get into that secret site and let her in. AND have the courage to not give up when people were attacking us relentlessly. Thank you Klassand. And I have to say because of all of the members who have been involved in one way or another have played a big role/part in being able to get justice - finally.
Someone else and I apologize, I can't remember her name, she belonged on Freebirds site as well and she gave me information one night that led to me finding a young man who was missing. He had gone missing from his university dorm rooms and I used that information to track him and found him and gave the information to his mother, who was working with police to find her son. The police did find him and he was taken home safe and alive. So RED thank you for your inspiration to have created a site that enabled caring people to come together and find solutions and help to many people find their love ones, that they would not have been able to do without this site. I pray that everyone will realize you all helped in one way or another.  I know I was the target of many people's discord or lies, but I stayed silent in order to catch killers. Thank you to those who know who they are that helped stand up for me, when I couldn't. I hope you know from the bottom of my heart - I love you and I respect you.  Beth Holloway showed us all how to be in this world, never give up and to follow your heart and your intentions will be known to G_d.  G_d bless all of you. I hope I can one day meet everyone here. You are truly an inspiration of how to be in this world. I also apologize to anyone I have offended, I was doing what I thought was best to protect the case. Only Beth Holloway knew what I knew. I never told anyone all these years that I screenshot Joran's IP and emailed Beth to tell her, he is in Aruba. IF Aruba wants to keep on lying, so be it. Judgement day will be in their lap.

Aruban Police Are Embarrassed by Joran van der Sloot Murder Confession: ‘We Were Outsmarted by a Teenager’ (Exclusive)
'It doesn’t make us look very good,' a law enforcement source on the island tells The Messenger. 'It's embarrassing'
Published 10/21/23 07:30 AM ET|Updated 13 hr ago
Steve Helling and Aaron Parsley

Hearing Joran van der Sloot’s gruesome murder confession has left his victim Natalee Holloway’s family in pain, but with a sense of closure after the American teen disappeared on a senior class trip to Aruba in 2005.

On the Caribbean island, however, officials are coming to terms with the fact that their still-open, 18-year investigation failed to uncover the truth.

“It doesn’t make us look very good,” says a police source in Aruba, “because it means that we were outsmarted by a teenager who killed on impulse. It’s embarrassing.”

Van der Sloot confessed under a plea agreement in a fraud and extortion case connected to the teenager’s disappearance. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 20 years during a hearing on Wednesday.
 ::snipping3::
And although his confession has ended an 18-year mystery about what happened to the missing teenager, he won’t likely be charged with murder in the Holloway case due to a 12-year statute of limitations on homicide in Aruba.

Still, a spokesperson for prosecutors there said they’ve requested the records from the U.S. Justice Department’s investigation into van der Sloot’s extortion plot.

“There’s nothing we can do about it now,” the Aruban police source admits. “We will look at the transcript, but it has been too long.”

Natalee Holloway’s Mom Shares Details About ‘Freakish’ Meeting with Joran van der Sloot’s Parents
Beth Holloway met with the murderer’s parents in the early days of Natalee’s disappearance
Published 10/21/23 01:44 PM ET|Updated 7 hr ago
Fatma Khaled

The mother of an Alabama teenager killed nearly twenty years ago shared details of a 2005 meeting she held with the parents of the man who recently confessed to killing her.
 ::snipping3::
Both women recalled how van der Sloot’s mother Anita sobbed “uncontrollably” and spoke with them about explicit details about her son’s alleged sexual encounters with Natalee, which he told her.

Van Susteren said that Anita was “sobbing, and telling the most graphic things about things that she said Joran did sexually to Natalee, things, that I mean, horribly graphic.”

At one point, Beth Holloway and Van Susteren noticed the father sweating heavily during that meeting. Van Susteren said looking back that he was sweating excessively because he knew his son was guilty.

Holloway agreed with Van Susteren and said “well, he raised a killer” and added that his mother “enabled him in every way.”

Anita also told them at the time that her son was undergoing anger management classes that were going “so well.”

Can you believe we are all still alive after ALL THESE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!! CASE SOLVED!



My sentiments exactly, Kermit!  ::rhino::  So thankful WE MADE IT!  ::MonkeyGavel:: ::justice2nj2:: ::MonkeyHeart:: ::monkeywine2::

I was thinking about  you today. I want you to know that all of your hard work on not only this case but also other cases is very appreciated. You have shown to others your courage and determination and smarts when it comes to bringing justice for families that need you and you gave so much of your time and help it is incredible and so appreciated. I know you had your share of vile self serving idiots attacking you and misusing information, I feel badly that I couldn't do anything to stop them and protect you. Klassand also had her share of the attacks and again, it was my fault because I couldn't protect her either. I'm sorry Klassand. In my case, I was the one who sat on the site meter that Natalee's Freebirds had set up on their blog. I sat there night after night watching people come and go reading our blog and one night Joran showed up. I did not skip a beat. I hit print screen and I was not even shaking, I made a copy which I knew how to do. I immediately sent an email to Beth Holloway. I told her that Joran came into our site and I would be willing to send her the screenshot. You see at that time, everyone was reporting that Joran was in Peru and another country gambling, HOWEVER, I saw his IP and he was in Aruba! So I immediately sent the screenshot to Beth Holloway.

Thank you, Kermit!  So sweet of you to say, and it means a lot to me.  THANK YOU, for all you've done here for Natalee and for others too.  ::MonkeyCool::

I'm extremely appreciative of the opportunity to participate here, starting out as just another mom of a 2005 graduate trying to help Beth Holloway find her daughter!  I've learned so much from all of the magnificent monkey friends here, and have been able to help others along the way as well with that knowledge.  Lots of hard lessons learned too, but absolutely no regrets.  Today, I was trying to describe to a family member Beth's first news conference in Aruba when she started out with the statement of how many days it had been since she'd seen her daughter and the tears just started flowing again just like the first time I heard it.  I couldn't get through what I wanted to say from just boohooing!  Natalee stole our hearts, and Beth's determination to get answers kept the fire lit under us to HELP HER in any way we could!  Beth described herself as the parent no one wants to be, but she is surely the mother I'd want to be if ever in her situation.  I don't know how she did it for so many years, but she did.  She will always be Natalee's hero in my eyes.

They make me sick.  They knew exactly what he'd done, and they did absolutely NOTHING to help Natalee's family resolve this case and bring her home.  He didn't outsmart anyone, he was enabled by the powers that be in Aruba, and he killed again.  They never intended to prosecute him for anything and I don't believe they ever will.  They're just glad he's not there anymore. jmo

100% agree with you. They sent out their people to protect a killer and all of them who did that should be held accountable, as you said, another young girl was murdered by that killer.

Natalee Holloway's Mom Beth Shares Her 18-Year Fight for Justice: 'My Never-Ending Nightmare is Over' (Exclusive)

Alabama teen Natalee Holloway went missing in Aruba in May 2005. Joran van der Sloot just admitted to killing her but may not be charged with murder

By Emily Palmer  Published on October 24, 2023 10:00AM EDT

The first time Beth Holloway was face-to-face with her daughter’s killer was just a day after the teen went missing on a high school graduation trip to Aruba.

Beth was in a car looking for Natalee Holloway when the 17-year-old boy — who was among the last people seen with her as they left an island bar in the early morning hours of May 30, 2005 — approached the mother’s parked vehicle.

“I want my daughter back,” Beth told him, recalling how Joran van der Sloot smirked and beat his chest in reply. “What do you want me to do?” he asked.

“He had this power over me,” Beth tells PEOPLE in its latest issue, on newsstands Friday. “Because he had all the answers, and I had none.”

But earlier this month — 18 years after Natalee went missing — that all changed, Beth says, when she walked inside the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office and Jail in Alabama, notepad in hand, and faced van der Sloot, now 36, once again.

This time, van der Sloot — who had pleaded guilty to brutally killing Stephany Flores Ramírez, another student, in Lima, Peru, and had been serving a 28-year sentence there since 2012 – was finally stateside in a small cinder block-walled room and hooked to a polygraph test.

Over hours of interviews with federal prosecutors and agents, he described in cold detail first reported in PEOPLE how he had killed Natalee after she rejected his sexual advances — kicking her in the face and then smashing a cinder block into her head so that her face “collapsed in.” Then, he said — in a transcript of the confession obtained by PEOPLE — that he walked her limp body out to sea.

“Even though knowing the answer from such a brutal confession can just blister and burn your soul, I needed to know what happened,” Beth says. “The not knowing is more tortuous than knowing.”

 ::snipping3::

After 18 years of searching, “my never-ending nightmare is over,” Beth says. “All those never-ending swirling theories and scammers and informants — no, it's over. Everyone has their own wishes and desires: mine was answers.”

Recalling that May 2005 morning with a smirking, chest-thumping van der Sloot in Aruba, Beth adds: “I've been desperately seeking those answers for so long. It was a huge victory to finally have them.”

Aruba weighs charges against Joran van der Sloot following shocking Natalee Holloway confession
By Olivia Land
Published Oct. 24, 2023, 12:24 p.m. ET

Authorities in Aruba are reportedly weighing the possibility of leveling new charges against Joran van der Sloot since he confessed to murdering Natalee Holloway on the island 18 years ago, officials said.

Van der Sloot, 36, told US investigators earlier this month that he bludgeoned 18-year-old Holloway to death on an Aruban beach and disposed of her body in the ocean in May 2005.

While the statute of limitations on murder in Aruba expires after 12 years, the question of whether island prosecutors will bring new charges against the former suspect “cannot be answered with a straightforward yes or no” because van der Sloot was a minor when the crime occurred, Ann Angela, spokesperson for the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Aruba, told Fox News Digital.

“It depends on various factors within the investigation,” Angela continued.

“As it is an open investigation, the Public Prosecutor’s Office will only provide limited information to the media, also about the issue of the statute of limitation.”

Holloway’s infamous disappearance is “still an open investigation in Aruba,” Angela noted.

“We have requested the U.S. Department of Justice for all the documents related to the investigation, which we will review before deciding on the procedural steps to be taken against Joran van der Sloot. Up until now, even though we are indeed aware of the reports in the press, we have not yet been formally informed by US authorities,” she explained.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for a comment on its progress in the case.

FBI gives inside glimpse into Joran van der Sloot’s confession to Natalee Holloway’s murder
Published: Oct. 26, 2023, 3:03 p.m.
By Carol Robinson

Two FBI officials in Birmingham on Thursday detailed how Joran van der Sloot last week came to plead guilty to extortion in a case that led to him confessing to killing Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect their identity as investigators.

Van der Sloot entered his guilty plea in wire fraud and the extortion of Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth, the mother of the 18-year-old Mountain Brook High School student. He received a 20-year sentence on each.

Those sentences will be served concurrently with each other and also concurrently with his 28-year sentence for a 2010 murder in Peru. As part of a plea deal, van der Sloot said he kicked Natalee Holloway in the face and then bludgeoned her with a cinderblock when she refused his sexual advances.

“We want to make clear the amount of dedication and perseverance the agents, both past and present, the analysts and professional staff have put into this case to bring it to a successful conclusion,” one of the officials told AL.com

Here are details from the question and answer session:

The Northern District of Alabama issued the extortion indictment against van der Sloot in 2010. Why did this go to court in the U.S. in 2023?

Hello everyone,

I registered at ScaredMonkeys back in 2007. I never got around to posting but I've read here in the Natalee Holloway and then Natalee Holloway/Stephany Flores Case Discussion forums ever since, sometimes every single day.

For several months recently, I couldn't access this site. I tried in several different browsers on two different computers. Pinging scaredmonkeys.net was successful. Running tracert gave Request timed out on 14th hop to 216.98.153.22. I was wondering if the site had been shut down and if so whether the old content was archived anywhere. But I couldn't find anything about this in the search engines, which seemed odd. Posters grumble when they can't get into a site, especially one they've used for years.

Now that I got in, I looked over the various boards and only the Natalee Holloway/Stephany Flores Case Discussion seems to have any recent activity. Was the downtime planned or was it sudden? I'm not seeing any advance notification about it. Am I missing something obvious?

Does anyone know what's going on and what the future of this board and ScaredMonkeys is?

Joran van der Sloot, who confessed to the 2005 murder of Natalee Holloway in Aruba and who was convicted in the subsequent extortion of her mother, Beth, is on his way back to Peru.

The 36-year-old Dutch national from Aruba, who pleaded guilty to extortion and wire fraud in federal court in Alabama on Oct. 18, was released from the Shelby County Jail Monday morning, escorted by U.S. Marshals. His release happened just after midnight.

Northern District of Alabama U.S. Marshal Marty Keely said van der Sloot was taken from the jail to the Birmingham International Airport.

Once the plane departs Birmingham and arrives in Peru, Peruvian officials will take him back into custody to serve the rest of his prison sentence for murder.

“U.S. Marshals Service Northern District of Alabama thanks Shelby County Sheriff John Samaniego and Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis for their assistance in housing Joran van der Sloot while in the custody of the United States Marshals Service Northern District of Alabama,’' Keely said.

Joran van der Sloot, who confessed to the 2005 murder of Natalee Holloway in Aruba and who was convicted in the subsequent extortion of her mother, Beth, was to fly back to Peru on Monday but those plans were delayed.

The 36-year-old Dutch national from Aruba, who pleaded guilty to extortion and wire fraud in federal court in Alabama on Oct. 18, was released from the Shelby County Jail Monday morning, escorted by U.S. Marshals. His release happened just after midnight.

Northern District of Alabama U.S. Marshal Marty Keely said van der Sloot was taken from the jail to the Birmingham International Airport.

However, the plane that was to depart Birmingham for Peru experienced some type of mechanical issue.

Officials in the U.S. are working with Peruvian officials to reschedule his return to serve the rest of his prison sentence for murder. Authorities did not say where van der Sloot will be held until that occurs.

“U.S. Marshals Service Northern District of Alabama thanks Shelby County Sheriff John Samaniego and Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis for their assistance in housing Joran van der Sloot while in the custody of the United States Marshals Service Northern District of Alabama,’' Keely said prior to the rescheduling.

Joran van der Sloot returns to Peru to serve murder sentence after Natalee Holloway confession
Published: Nov. 01, 2023, 8:44 a.m.

Joran van der Sloot was quietly extradited back to Peru on Tuesday to finish a 28-year sentence for murder after his confession to killing Natalee Holloway was made public as part of a deal to plead guilty in the extortion of her mother, Beth Holloway.

Van der Sloot was initially set to fly out of Birmingham on Monday, but the plane had mechanical issues.

He is believed to have been held in the Hoover City Jail for 24 hours before he then began his journey back to Peru.

Brady McCarron, deputy chief of public affairs for the U.S. Marshals Service, said van der Sloot arrived in Peru and was turned over to Peruvian authorities at 5:58 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

Authorities said they kept his departure time from Alabama quiet for safety reasons.

Video shared on social media by Peru’s National Police shows van der Sloot, hands and feet shackled, walking on the tarmac flanked by two Interpol agents, each grabbing one of his arms. He wore a pink short-sleeved shirt, jeans, tennis shoes and a bulletproof vest that identified him as an Interpol detainee.

There has not been a lot of activity in the forum in the past few years. At some point the owner just closed it all down. He only recently opened it back up so we can discuss the new developments. I don't know any of the behind the scene details and I have no idea how much longer it will stay open. It takes a lot of time, money, energy and dedication to run a site like this. I know we are all very grateful to have had it for as long as we did.
Side note: I am so happy to have that POS out of my state and back in Peru. I'm sure they missed you, Joran!

Hello everyone,

I registered at ScaredMonkeys back in 2007. I never got around to posting but I've read here in the Natalee Holloway and then Natalee Holloway/Stephany Flores Case Discussion forums ever since, sometimes every single day.

For several months recently, I couldn't access this site. I tried in several different browsers on two different computers. Pinging scaredmonkeys.net was successful. Running tracert gave Request timed out on 14th hop to 216.98.153.22. I was wondering if the site had been shut down and if so whether the old content was archived anywhere. But I couldn't find anything about this in the search engines, which seemed odd. Posters grumble when they can't get into a site, especially one they've used for years.

Now that I got in, I looked over the various boards and only the Natalee Holloway/Stephany Flores Case Discussion seems to have any recent activity. Was the downtime planned or was it sudden? I'm not seeing any advance notification about it. Am I missing something obvious?

Does anyone know what's going on and what the future of this board and ScaredMonkeys is?

Last night a watched a new tv show called Natalee Holloway: A Killer Confesses. It was something called IMPACT x Nightline? And it was on Hulu. It was one of those news magazine shows but it was very well done I thought. They interviewed Natalee's brother and John Q Kelly. John was even filmed back in Aruba and they went to the area of the fisherman huts at night. It was all so sad. But Matt said he and Beth and the family are just so happy to have this confession. In case any of y'all want to check it out.

Natalee Holloway Killer Joran van der Sloot’s Mom Is ‘Completely Done’ With Him (Exclusive)
Anita van der Sloot tells The Messenger she will 'absolutely not' visit her notorious son in Peruvian prison
Published 11/12/23 06:00 AM ET|Updated 11 hr ago
Steve Helling

As Natalee Holloway's killer Joran van der Sloot settles into life inside a notorious Peruvian prison, at least one of his family members will not be making the trip to visit him: his mother Anita.

"Absolutely not," Anita van der Sloot told The Messenger on a phone call Thursday night when asked if she would see her infamous son in Peru.

"She's done," a van der Sloot family member added. "Completely done. He put her and [his father] Paulus through hell for the past 20 years. She's not going to visit him."
 ::snipping3::
The van der Sloot family source declined to comment on their reaction to his confession, which was part of plea deal in the fraud case that allowed him to return to Peru to serve the balance of his sentence for Ramirez's murder.

When he is released, he will return to the U.S. to serve the remainder of his 20-year punishment for trying to extort the Holloway family.

The van der Sloot family member says that Anita does not ever anticipate ever having a relationship with her son.

"By the time he's out of prison, she'll be very old — if she's even still around," the source says. "So, he's on his own."

Joran van der Sloot’s Natalee Holloway Murder Confession ‘Doesn’t Add Up’: Aruban Official (Exclusive)
The convicted murderer said he bludgeoned the teenager with a cinderblock and dragged her body out to sea — but the weapon and the body were never found
Published 12/02/23 06:30 AM ET|Updated 5 hr ago
Steve Helling

When Joran van der Sloot confessed in gruesome detail to the 2005 murder of Natalee Holloway, her family found a sense of closure. But authorities in Aruba are still puzzling over what they say are apparent contradictions in his story — and wondering if parts of it are credible.

"There are some things that don't make sense," says an investigator in Aruba who worked on the case in 2005. "It just doesn't add up."
 ::snipping3::
Whether or not they believe van der Sloot now, Aruban authorities are unable to reopen the case against him due to a 12-year statute of limitation on the island.

"There's nothing more to be done," says the investigator, "but I still will always wonder."

For Holloway's family, however, there is solace in hearing her confessed killer give details of how she died.

"I am relieved," her mother, Beth Holloway, said outside the Alabama courthouse after van der Sloot pleaded guilty in October.

"This confession means we have finally reached the end of this never-ending nightmare."

Thank you for taking the time to reply, Spooky.

So the owner just closed down the site without any warning? Wow! For quite a while, I thought the problem was on my end because I couldn't find anything about this in the search engines and I spent quite a bit of time trying to troubleshoot it. I even tried emailing the webmaster but kept getting failure notices.

It's unfortunate that all of the years of content here will be lost and no longer available to warn others about the dangers that lie in Aruba. There must be someone who would be willing to host a read-only archive of all that data.

Do you, or anyone else, know if some of the members here have migrated somewhere else?

Another question: Is it possible to send klaasend or whoever is the current admin a personal message. I tried that but it doesn't seem to work.

I was somewhat disappointed that Joran didn't get the good ol' boy welcome that some users posted about. I was also surprised at how readily people believe Joran is telling the truth this time. It sounded to me like he put forth a story that was as brutal and as harsh as he could make it just to strike back at Beth. Of course I do think that he is capable of all that, but I wondered if after he got back to Peru, he would retract everything he said again and say he lied. I would have liked to see him serve the two 20-year sentences here after having served his time in Peru. But I understand that Beth wanted closure. I just hope she really got it. I guess the important part is that he finally admitted he killed Natalee, details aside. Beth is as smart as they come, and she knows all this.

Nine men to be tried for murder of Dutch crime reporter Peter R de Vries
Hearing to start in January in case of journalist shot in the street in 2021 who was adviser to a witness in trial of a Dutch drug baron
Thu 30 Nov 2023 12.39 EST

Nine men suspected of the murder of prominent Dutch crime reporter Peter R de Vries will go on trial in January, a Dutch court has announced, with a verdict expected by the summer.

De Vries was gunned down on a busy Amsterdam street on 6 July 2021, shortly after leaving a TV studio where he had appeared as a guest on a programme.

The 64-year-old died nine days after he was shot in a crime that prosecutors said was linked to his role in the trial of a Dutch drug mafia kingpin.

Two suspects, identified only as Dutch man Delano G and Kamil E from Poland, were arrested shortly after the incident, which shocked the Netherlands and threw a spotlight on the growing drug trade in the country.

Van der Sloot was initially set to fly out of Birmingham on Monday, but the plane had mechanical issues.

One thing Joran has a psycholgoical disorder and it such a crime that his parents neither one of them addressed it and he murdered two other people in this world that G_D will have final judgement one day. May G_d have mercy on his parents for failing him and on him for not getting help he needed.

He is believed to have been held in the Hoover City Jail for 24 hours before he then began his journey back to Peru.

Brady McCarron, deputy chief of public affairs for the U.S. Marshals Service, said van der Sloot arrived in Peru and was turned over to Peruvian authorities at 5:58 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

Murder trial of Dutch journalist gets second start
The 2021 shooting of Peter R. de Vries sent shockwaves across Europe and raised concerns about the safety of journalists.
MOLLY QUELL / January 23, 2024

AMSTERDAM (CN) — In the high-security courtroom in Amsterdam known as the Bunker, prosecutors on Tuesday began making their case for the second time against the men charged with the assassination of famed Dutch crime reporter Peter R. de Vries.

The District Court of Amsterdam was set to announce a verdict in 2022 during the original trial, where two men were charged with murder, but after new evidence emerged and one of the judges moved abroad, the proceedings were scrapped. Prosecutors have now charged nine defendants with the murder and sharing images of the attack to stoke fear over organized crime.
 ::snipping3::
De Vries was a household name in the Netherlands. He rose to prominence after covering the 1983 kidnapping of Heineken heir Freddy Heineken by Willem Holleeder. The journalist was later awarded an International Emmy for his investigation into the disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005.

Suspects deny involvement in Peter R. de Vries murder at trial start
LOCAL | By Correspondent Jan. 24, 2024

AMSTERDAM - The trial against the nine suspects in the murder case of journalist Peter R. de Vries has begun in the Amsterdam-Osdorp court. The suspects, including Delano G. with Aruban family ties and Curaçao natives Divainy K. and Ludgardo S., have either denied their involvement in the case or invoked their right to remain silent.

The alleged shooter, Delano G., declared in the crowded courthouse bunker: "I invoke my right to remain silent entirely." This means he chooses not to make statements that could potentially be used against him in court.

Prosecutors seek life sentences for 3 suspects in killing of Dutch journalist Peter R. de Vries
BY MIKE CORDER
Updated 6:50 AM CST, January 31, 2024

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Prosecutors requested life sentences on Wednesday for three suspects in the killing of Dutch investigative journalist Peter R. de Vries and sentences of three to 21 years for six others in a trial in Amsterdam.

The life sentences were sought for the man who allegedly shot de Vries in a downtown Amsterdam street on July 6, 2021, the alleged getaway driver and a man suspected of organizing the assassination. De Vries, a popular reporter and television presenter, died nine days later of his injuries at age 64.

Prosecutors had previously asked judges to impose life sentences on the suspected killer and driver at an earlier trial that was halted in 2022 without verdicts when new evidence came to light and more suspects were arrested.

Demand for a life sentence after the murder of Peter R. de Vries is a 'signal' from the Public Prosecution Service
by Ruetir  January 31, 2024

Lifetime. It sounded three times on Wednesday in the heavily secured court in Amsterdam-Osdorp. Life sentence for Delano G., who allegedly shot Peter R. de Vries. For Kamil E., who would have been the driver as co-executor. And for Krystian M., who would have controlled the whole thing like a murder broker. If the justice system has its way, the three men will never be released.
 ::snipping3::
The suspects showed little outward response to the demands. Krystian M. kept his hood up. Their lawyers will respond in the coming days. On Wednesday afternoon, Kamil E.'s lawyers argued that suspects would have felt heavy pressure and that there are doubts about the reliability of the new witness. They asked for an acquittal for complicity in the murder. The verdict is expected in June.

Lawyer: filming injured Peter R. De Vries is not a crime

Filming Peter R. de Vries after he was shot makes Gerower M.C. not partly guilty of the murder attempt, according to the lawyer of the 27-year-old suspect. The Public Prosecution Service has demanded 21 years in prison against him, including for observing, following and filming the crime reporter.
Last modified: February 7, 2024, 5:00 PM

The same sentence has also been demanded against co-suspect Erickson O. for these suspicions. The two were arrested abroad on July 4, 2022, M.C. in Spain, O. in Curaçao. Both deny having anything to do with the murder. Their defense therefore wants an acquittal. “We see no role in the preparation, execution or handling of the murder,” one of the lawyers for 29-year-old O. said on Wednesday.

Life sentences have been imposed on three other suspects. It concerns the alleged murder broker, shooter and driver. The verdict is scheduled for June.

Will Joran be able to survive in the Peruvian Challapalca prison? In a new video of the Dutch murderer it seems so. Although Van der Sloot has been in custody for a while - since 2010, to be precise - we see him with a lot of fat on his bones. But even more striking: Joran proudly marches through the prison with a Peruvian flag. The fragment was broadcast on the Peruvian channel Latina Noticias.

It appears to be an exercise in the infamous prison. Prisoners had gathered for this purpose in one of the outdoor squares.

Peacock's new true crime documentary, “Pathological: The Lies of Joran van der Sloot,” puts a spotlight on a contemporary killer.

Joran van der Sloot was convicted of killing 21-year-old Stephany Flores from Peru in 2012, and later confessed, in 2023, to killing Natalee Holloway in a stunning admission nearly two decades after her disappearance.

TODAY.com can exclusively reveal the first trailer for “Pathological: The Lies of Joran van der Sloot,” which takes a closer look at van der Sloot’s pattern of violence through rare interviews and insight from people who knew him.

Natalee Holloway killer Joran van der Sloot having sex with three different women while serving life in prison
By Steve Helling

Updated Feb. 25, 2024, 9:45 a.m. ET

Natalee Holloway killer Joran van der Sloot is having sex with three different women, despite serving a 28-year sentence in a Peruvian prison for murder.

“He was approved for conjugal visits,” a spokesperson for Peru’s National Penitentiary Institute tells The Post. “He has the same rights as any other prisoner.”

The news comes as no surprise to people who know the 36-year-old van der Sloot, who last year finally confessed to the brutal 2005 murder of 18-year-old high school senior Natalee Holloway in Aruba.

“He’s a player, and has always been a player,” his childhood friend, Cas Arends, told the Post. “Women have always been attracted to him for some reason.”

Untangling the Many Lies Joran van der Sloot Told About the Murders of Natalee Holloway & Stephany Flores

The Peacock documentary Pathological: The Lies of Joran van der Sloot delves into the pain Joran caused two families before he confessed to killing Natalee Holloway in 2023.
By NATALIE FINN FEB 27, 2024 6:00 AM

Joran van der Sloot never denied meeting Natalee Holloway at a bar in Aruba, or that he spent time with her by the beach in the early morning hours of May 30, 2005.

But he didn't admit to killing the 18-year-old until 2023, when he gave a detailed confession in federal court in Birmingham, Ala., as part of his October guilty plea to extortion and wire fraud charges.

"A far as I'm concerned it's over, it's over," Natalee's mother, Beth Holloway, told reporters outside the courthouse. "Joran van der Sloot is no longer the suspect in my daughter's murder. He is the killer."

Unexpected Life Insurance

Ricardo didn't go into detail, but said in the documentary, per the translation, "We've taken measures to take care of" Joran in prison. As in, they wanted to ensure that Joran lived to serve his full sentence.

"We've made sure that nothing bad happens to him," Stephany's dad explained. "Because if he dies, it's over. His suffering is over, his punishment is over. What he has to repay is over."

Drug kingpin accused of leading "well-oiled killing machine" gets life sentence in the Netherlands
February 27, 2024 / 11:00 AM EST / CBS/AFP

Dutch drug kingpin Ridouan Taghi received a life sentence on Tuesday over a series of murders committed by his gang that shocked the Netherlands. Prosecutors called the alleged campaign of assassinations a "well-oiled killing machine."

Taghi, 46, is the alleged mastermind of the Amsterdam-based group called the "Mocro-maffia" that is thought to be one of the Netherlands' largest cocaine distributors.

Security around the trial has been extremely tight with judges and prosecutors asking not to be identified. At least three people directly connected to the mega six-year trial have been killed.

"We are sentencing all 17 suspects. Ridouan Taghi gets life in prison," said a judge at the Amsterdam District Court.

Taghi was the "undisputed leader" of what the judge called a "murder organization."
 ::snipping3::
Shortly afterwards police made a breakthrough in the case, when one of the suspected gang members, "Nabil B.," handed himself over and agreed to become the prosecution's main witness.

A new wave of violence followed after Nabil B. turned state witness, leaving three people dead in scenes that shocked the nation.

Nabil B.'s brother was murdered in 2018, his lawyer Derk Wiersum was shot dead outside his house in 2019, and the prominent Dutch crime journalist Peter R. de Vries was killed in 2021.

De Vries acted as Nabil B.'s confidant at the time of his murder and had said before he was on Taghi's hit list.


The judge said the Nabil B.'s testimony led to convictions in five murders that otherwise would not have been solved.

Greta calls out FBI after rejected FOIA request: 'Suspicious of a cover-up'

'BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS': The FBI had evidence to arrest Joran van der Sloot nearly a decade and a half ago - but they didn't act, allowing Natalee Holloway's accused killer to allegedly kill again, Greta Van Susteren says.

(Transcript below copied from Youtube page and I've corrected many (but not all) obvious errors.  In other words, it's not perfect but it's storming here and I'm posting before the power goes off and I lose all the work I've done on it!  ::MonkeyTongue:: ::MonkeyHaHa:: )


Transcript  

Many of you have watched me for years remember some of the investigations I've done and I want to bring you the latest on one that I've worked on since June of 2005.
That's the year and the month that I arrived in Aruba and because my hotel room was not ready, I went from the airport to the hotel where Natalee Holloway had been staying before she vanished about 10 days earlier. I knocked on the hotel door expecting either no answer, or perhaps a tourist who had moved into the room. I did not expect what happened. The door opened and standing before me was Beth Holloway, the mother of the missing child. I instantly saw the pain in her eyes. And if you know any parent who has ever lost a child, you know that look.  She invited me in. We talked and the only way I could even begin to console her was to promise that I would stay in this investigation until the end when we had all the facts.  At the time of the promise quite frankly, I thought that would be at most a few days. I had no idea it would be years and years. But I've kept my word and I still am almost 19 years later. As you probably know, last June, Vandersloot was brought to the United States after Beth and I pursued him for years and then a few months later in October, Vandersloot pleaded guilty to wire fraud, extortion, not to murder.  He was not charged with murder.  There is no doubt in my mind that Vandersloot killed Natalee Holloway, but he left out a whole lot of details in this plea, a much darker story about Aruba, but I'm going to leave that for a future date. In the meantime, there is a question of the FBI that needs to be answered. But the FBI doesn't want to answer the question.  Here is the question. Why in Aruba in 2010, right after Vandersloot committed the extortion crime in front of the FBI, didn't they arrest him?  When he was not arrested. Vandersloot slipped out of Aruba from under the FBI noses and committed a second murder, 21 year old Stephanie Flores. Here is the background of the sting, in 2010 and the FBI. On Mother's Day May 9th 2010 John Q Kelly, lawyer for Beth Holloway, and an old friend of mine arrived at the Queen Beatrix International Airport in Aruba. His person His role in the planned FBI sting operation. Prior to the sting operation Vandersloot and Kelly have been exchanging emails, Vandersloot said. The extortion he would tell the mother of the then five year missing Natalee, where she could find her remains only if Beth Holloway paid him $250,000. Kelly notified the FBI and the plans for the sting began. The FBI arrived days before Kelly they had received permission from Aruban authorities to conduct this sting operation in their country.  Hotel rooms were rented at the Marriott Hotel on the beach. One room was wired with cameras to catch Vandersloot in the act, extorting Beth Holloway through a lawyer. In the next room. The FBI agents wore headsets, watching the camera monitors and listening and recording everything. A rental car was likewise wired as Kelly after giving Vandersloot a down payment on the $250,000 in the hotel room would then be driving Vandersloot to the location where Vandersloot would be pointing out the fictitious spot where the mother of the girl he brutally murdered could find the remains of her daughter. The hotel room and rental car sting, it went down flawlessly. Kelly did a perfect job. Even getting Vandersloot to slowly count the down payment of that money so that Vandersloot remained on camera for a long time for a future jury to watch. When you're on taking the money from Kelly and the lie about the location of the remains the crime was completed. Extortion all caught on tape. Nothing more was needed. Other than an arrest and indictment and a trial and a trial where the jurors need only view the tape. Meanwhile back in the United States on the phone all the time, with Kelly closely monitoring this on but known to the FBI, I was the one who originally gave Joran Kelly's email and phone number.  I knew Vandersloot was evil. I knew he would do anything to get money and I knew he would fall into this trap. Prior Vandersloot claimed to me more than once that he was innocent of murdering Natalee Holloway. I never believed him. I also knew that a few years earlier in 2007, the Aruban police and prosecutor had inexplicably closed the case. So in at least one email exchange with Vandersloot in 2010, when he was looking for money, I reminded him that there still remained a reward fund for information that could lead to finding Natalee's body. I told him that if he were innocent, as he claimed, and if he knew something about the burial site he might consider trying to collect that reward.  He asked how I said I didn't know, but that he should contact Beth Holloway's lawyer, and he did.  He then asked for and I gave him information how to reach Kelly on his own volition. No one forced him. He took the bait, and he contacted Kelly.  Now back to the hotel room with the crime, Extortion now completed on tape with the FBI watching. You would think Vandersloot would be arrested. You would think that since the FBI got permission from Aruban authorities to conduct the sting out operation that they made plans to arrest Vandersloot should he commit the crime and of course, he did commit it on tape in front of them. The day after the sting May 11th the FBI put Kelly on a plane to return to the United States. But just as on May 10th Vandersloot was not arrested on May 11th Nor was he arrested on May 12th Not on May 13th, not May, 14th and, as the days continued, there was no arrest. Meanwhile Kelly Beth Holloway and I were on the phone daily, maybe more than once a day trying to figure out what is the hold up. The crime had been committed right from the FBI, so why no arrest? The days continue to roll by and the more they did without an arrest, The more annoyed we were all getting. During the passing days. Kelly would contact the special agent still in Aruba, but he got no answers. In my calls to Kelly, I got increasingly annoyed. I pointed out to Kelly the crime was committed right in front of the FBI. The FBI sure arrested my clients on a whole lot less.  As the days went on, and with Kelly's growing impatience at no arrest, no doubt aided by my own frustration. The FBI told Kelly, be patient, they were working on it most significantly, one of the agents told Kelly who then told me and I will never forget this that Kelly did not worry since they had Vandersloot under 24/7 surveillance. I remembered that because it was so important. I knew Vandersloot was a killer. I knew he now had money, the down payment from Kelly and that Vandersloot besides being evil is very smart. The days continue to roll on with no arrest. May 15th No arrest may 16th may 17 may 18 may 19 may 20 may 21st 11 days after the sting still no arrest. An email from the special agent in Aruba to Kelly 11 days after the sting operation proves Kelly's frustration the time on the email is 7:54 a.m. It's from an FBI agent to Kelly. It reads quote. My BlackBerry Lost voice calms yesterday, so I'm on my computer. The suggestion by the emails that he could not return a call to Kelly from Aruba to United States. Well, That's absolutely absurd. There was a telephone in every single hotel room in that Marriott Hotel. He didn't have to use his BlackBerry to call Kelly.  There's more to the agent's email. He says that he is quote still putting the case together.  Do you buy that still put the case together 11 days later?  Well, what did they have to put together? The crime was 100% caught on tape with the FBI watch in real time and the FBI permission from Aruba to do that thing. So why do I want to know what the FBI was doing for at least 11 days in Aruba, and maybe they were there are more and that they never arrested Vandersloot. Because a short time later. I found myself in the living room in Lima, Peru, with a sobbing and inconsolable father. Here's what happened.  Four days after the May 10th sting operation on May 14th.  Vandersloot checked into Hotel Tech in Lima, Peru. He did so four days after the May 10th sting. While the FBI claims it was still collecting evidence of a completed crime and while claiming Vandersloot was under 24/7 surveillance Well, he was 1764 miles away on at least May 14th So much for that 24/7 surveillance. No arrest was made. And then the unthinkable.  Vandersloot murdered again in Peru. Vandersloot met 21 year old Stephanie Flores in a casino, same type of location he met Natalee Holloway from the casino.  Vandersloot took Stephanie back to his hotel room and then on May 30th the fifth year anniversary of his beating to death of Natalee Holloway, he beat Stephanie Flores to death.  Reports out of Peru were that the autopsy of the young girl was so difficult to do because she was so badly beaten. That was after Vandersloot, of course killed again. I went on ABC's Good Morning America shortly thereafter and said the FBI had blood on its hands. I wanted to then and I want to know now, what was the FBI doing in Aruba on at least as late as May 21st 11 days after the sting, and at least seven days after Vandersloot was long gone with the opportunity to kill again, and of course he did. At the time, ABC asked the FBI for a statement. This is what the FBI said quote The Birmingham investigation was not related in any way to the murder in Peru, despite having been in motion for several weeks at the time of Miss Flores's death, it was not sufficiently enveloped to bring charges prior to the time Vandersloot left Aruba. The FBI's response continued a case based on events outside the United States, a complex matter and work was proceeded with all deliberate speed to prepare the evidence the charges and necessary procedures to obtain custody of Vandersloot. End of quote. I'm sure you noticed in a statement. The FBI didn't mention that the crime was actually complete on May 10th completed on tape, Nor did that statement point out. They had gotten permission from Aruba to conduct the operation, so presumably, they made arrangements to arrest Vandersloot if he committed a crime, and indeed he did commit a crime right in front of them, but most significantly to me, the FBI in that statement didn't answer.  What were their agents doing between May 10th and May 14th when Joran is already in Peru preparing to kill again. Nor do they say what they were doing until at least May 21st a week later. The best they can say is that it was a quote complex matter. Really complex matter.  Do you buy that? It is so simple. This crime was so simple. It was caught on tape. What more evidence was there to gather after May 10th when they shut the cameras off and consider this? When the government finally did indict Vandersloot in Alabama much later for extortion . There was nothing in the indictment suggest any evidence other than what was caught on tape on May 10th. So then, for 3 years until last June I worked with Natalee's mother to get Joran. Get Joran Vandersloot to Alabama to face those extortion charges. Beth and I were finally able to accomplish this with the help of a Peruvian lobbyist. We got the President of Peru to sign an agreement to send Vandersloot to Alabama, the FBI. They did not do this at all. Beth and I did. And after the President of Peru signed this the FBI was boxed in. They had no choice but to go get him in Peru. I didn't think back in 2010 or last year in 2023, or even now that the FBI wanted Vandersloot here in the United States because a trial on that extortion would necessarily expose their bungled sting operation back in 2010 when they let him get away. It would also no doubt require the FBI. To explain. What were they doing So long in Aruba, and Joran is long gone. But as it turned out, the FBI dodged a bullet, at least for a short time. There would be no trial in USA since Vandersloot pleaded guilty and he was in swiftly returned to Peru to complete his sentence for that brutal murder of Stephanie Flores. In my opinion, he got a sweetheart plea deal here in the United States to button this one up fast without a trial, but I'll save my thoughts about that for later in the meantime, We still have that unanswered question. We still don't know what the FBI was doing for all that time in a room but long after Joran left and killed again. If their extended stay was legitimate, even though botched and not just something like sitting on the beach on taxpayer dime. Just tell me I'm not asking for much. But they won't tell me. So, you all know me not want to give up. And since now the extortion case is closed, and thus the FBI and DOJ can't claim it's an ongoing investigation. In February this year, I filed a freedom of information request. I believe my requested information, including the expense reports of the agents in Aruba could shed light on what the FBI was doing after the crime was completed on May 10th to the 14th of May when you're on checked into the hotel in Peru, while supposedly under 24/7 surveillance until May 21st When the FBI was saying it had telephone problems, and curiously since the crime was still over. They were still collecting evidence. So how did the Department of Justice the FBI reply to my February FOIA request? Here's a picture of it.  First note, the Department of Justice writes that the subject of my request is Joran Vandersloot, actually, I was inquiring about the FBI not Joran Vandersloot. I want to know what the FBI was doing in Aruba. Long after you were on it slipped out to kill a second girl. It's not about Vandersloot. Second The reason the DOJ and FBI declined.  My FOIA request is because The disclosure of law enforcement records concerning an individual could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.  They must be joking. An unwarranted invasion of personal privacy of your Joran Vandersloot, the killer's privacy. They were worried about that. And what would it be? Or if, by some wild chance they're referring to the agents of those subjects on Joran Vandersloot could among other things, the FBI agents expense accounts or how they spent taxpayer money in Aruba for at least 11 days being invasion of their privacy. It's our taxpayer money. It's not their personal money. And besides, the money spent what were they doing in that full week after you're on slipped and was gone? How could that answer? Be privacy? And even if there was some names in the documents that I requested that they could that they didn't want me to see they could just black it out.  They know how to do that. They redact items all the time in these FOIA requests. But instead I just got a big no, I didn't even get redacted documents. So what do I think? Naturally I'm suspicious. I'm suspicious of a cover up. And if I am wrong, And if this is totally on the up and up, the FBI can simply tell me instead of a big no on a FOIA request. But now I'm not the only one suspicious. On Friday, the house Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan, in the committee's oversight capacity, DOJ and the FBI sent a letter to the Birmingham, Alabama FBI office. It reads in part, Quote on May 30th 2010 Vandersloot murdered 21 year old Stephanie Flores in a hotel room in Peru.  He apparently checked into this hotel on May 14th while he allegedly was under FBI surveillance. We believe the Birmingham field office may possess documents that shed light on how the FBI missed the opportunity to apprehend Vandersloot in 2010 end quote. The house judiciary gave the FBI Birmingham a deadline of 5 P.m. on April 19th to answer. And let me repeat, if this is all on the up and up the FBI just needs to release the documents, transparency is important.

Natalee Holloway's killer Joran van der Sloot jumped by 2 inmates in Peru prison beatdown
Report claims 'a lot of people want him dead'
Michael Ruiz By Michael Ruiz Fox News
Published April 10, 2024 2:17pm EDT

Natalee Holloway killer Joran van der Sloot was injured in a violent brawl inside a Peruvian prison where he is serving a 28-year sentence for murder.

The 36-year-old was attacked by two inmates while in a common area of notorious Challapalca Prison, where the country’s most dangerous inmates are held, last week.

When other inmates joined the fracas, guards stepped in and separated the men.

Although van der Sloot suffered only bruises and lacerations, he was checked out by medical personnel before being released back into general population.

A spokesperson for Peru’s National Penitentiary Institute (NPI) would not confirm specific details of the attack, but tells The Post high profile inmates like van der Sloot are seen as vulnerable in prison.

The spokesperson also confirmed he will not face disciplinary action as he didn’t instigate the fight.

Dutch national Van der Sloot is in prison for the murder of his ex-girlfriend, business student Stefany Flores Ramirez, 21, in 2010.

It’s unclear if the men attacked van der Sloot because of a jailhouse beef, or because his victim was the daughter of Ricardo Flores, a popular entertainment impresario and former president of the Peruvian Auto Club. “A lot of people want him dead,” admitted the NPI official.

Those who have found themselves in a lockup with van der Sloot say he bullies other inmates and often instigates arguments and fights.

The motive of the attack is unclear, according to the New York Post, which first reported the beating, but two inmates jumped him in a prison common area before guards stepped in. Medics reportedly treated him for cuts and bruises and sent him back to the general population.

Van der Sloot's lawyer, Lima's Maximo Altez, blasted the claims.

"He's fine," he told Fox News Digital. "It's 'fake news.'"

Altez has previously complained that prison officials have limited his communications with his client.

Authorities did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A national prison spokesperson earlier told the Post, "A lot of people want him dead."

Through its social networks, the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE) denied that the feminicide Joran Van der Sloot had been beaten by other prisoners in the Challapalca prison.

“The inmate is under a special closed regime and (currently) is in good health; Therefore, the information disseminated is false,” INPE published on X (formerly Twitter).

This information, now provided by the authority, joins that of the lawyer for the murderer of Stephany Flores, who told the international Fox News that his sponsorship “is completely fine.”
