about the "buoy toll" that was mentioned before, that was from one of the shango posts

Shango Says: June 27th, 2005 at 10:31 pm
Mary never heard the buoy toll
ask the men who play dice and “roll”

i found this poem (for what it's worth)


WINTER FALL by Carol Kohli
 
The scepter lies broken on the field.
Greensward, unblemished, stretches before the eye.
Battle cries long ago ascended, lost among the stars. 
The absence of conflict fills the silent air.
 The world hangs in abeyance between past and future. 
An errant thought sets the new course; 
the completed cycle becomes ancient history, 
recounted in a new context, subject to narrative and vision.

Life slips away. A single breath separates us from the abyss.
To live in the presence of death is the best preparation for life. 
Certainty is an illusion. Change is inevitable;
so is the final yielding.

It is over. Time has the final say. 
No more casting about for hopeful possibility. 
It is time to be still to wait to surrender 
the earthly crown with grace.

Let the bell buoy toll the return to the eternal sea, 
the infinity of water cradle scorched bones softly, 
til all settles silently in the dark depths.

Where does the universe end? It' s expanding-
expanding into what? What's out there, 
billions of light years away, that it's expanding into? 
Does the universe think, feel? 
Does it consider its demise its speculated collapse in on itself?
What happens then? 
If it were an entity, would it be male, female? Would it be kind?

One with the whole, we take the spectacular ride, 
live the questions, die with them still in our hearts. 
From the larger perspective the answers may appear, 
and we may say with relief and satisfaction, "of course."

Mos said he did prosecute but not because of pressure from Rudy Croes.
Quote
Prosecution no political process

14-03-2008

The matter against the Aruban former prime minister Henny Eman and former minister of finance Tico Croes was no political matter. That says the judge in its pronouncement in the case Fondo Desaroyo Nobo San Nicolas, where in the time of cabinet-Eman would be disappeared the considerable amount outside the budget for. Henny Eman were clearred, but Tico Croes got ten months conditionally and 240 hours service because of corruption.

The judge found that he could assess not well if budgets had been exceeded, because the figures are not certain. There is no approved annual account for the period about which it goes. According to the Public Prosecution Service means this that financial mis governance leads therefore to immunity.

Still Justice chief public prosecutor Hans Mos is on most of the points is not ' dissatisfied '. The acquittal was related to summary offence of the 'comptabiliteitsverordering', a regulation which must guarantee a good government household. Against that acquittal the Public Prosecution Service is considering an appeal.

"It is sour that people who frequently give control are getting of the hook, whereas people who give implementation are condemned", says Mos. For this reason the condemnation of Croes on two points gives nevertheless reason for satisfaction. Further he is glad that the judge has made it clear that the Public Prosecution Service has not proceeded to prosecution under pressure of justice minister Rudy Croes (MEP), a political opponent of the suspected AVP politicians

http://antilliaans.caribiana.nl/aruba/car20080314_uitspraak-eman

Tico Croes = former finance minister (AVP)
Rudy Croes = current justice minister (MEP)

new column Peter R.
not related to Natalee.

in short it is about Peter being asked by the justice commitee of the parliament to hear him about the connections between the criminal world and the regular world.
the justice commitee assumed Peter would come to The Hague for that.
Peter suggested a meeting in his office in Hilversum (near Amsterdam).
but then the justice commitee wasn't interested anymore.
apparently afraid to leave their offices in The Hague.

Peter R. expect the justice commitee to come up with a report in wich they say they did 'thorough' research...

Joran did not live in Appartment. In most of the homes in Aruba, the rooms are not connected by walls, but rather walkways. Joran's room is within 15 feet to the Parent's room and their room (also not connected) is within 15 feet of the main house where the Kitchen and Living Room probably are.

This is very long, but since we are slow and since caesu might like this site, I will post.

This is from korps suriname site quoting Amigoe, in April 2005 (before Natalee).  Seems Rudy Croes was upset with VanderStraten because he arrested someone without Rudy giving the ok.  Does the Minister of Justice order or ok prosecutions, on a routine basis??

Controverse over commissaris Van der Straten
 
ORANJESTAD — Minister van Justitie Rudy Croes (MEP) heeft een brief geschreven aan de minister van Bestuurlijke Vernieuwing en Koninkrijksrelaties, Alexander Pechtold (D66), waarin hij zijn beklag doet over het optreden van politiecommissaris Jan van der Straten.
 
De reden moet worden gezocht in het arresteren van twee medewerkers van het Bureau Informatievoorziening en Documentatie (BID) op het bestuurskantoor. Pechtold heeft inmiddels gereageerd op de brief van Croes. Hij stelt dat Van der Straten een goede staat van dienst heeft en dat hij de commotie van Croes rondom de commissaris niet begrijpt.
 
De twee BID-medewerkers werden opgepakt wegens telefonische bedreigingen vanaf het telefoontoestel op hun werkplek. Eén van de twee is geen verdachte meer in deze zaak. Tegen de tweede persoon, K.J.K., loopt nog een strafrechtelijk onderzoek. Hij wordt verdacht van bedreiging. K. is voorlopig op vrije voeten gesteld. Het Openbaar Ministerie (OM) beslist binnenkort of het tot vervolging komt. Beide mannen werden opgepakt door het Flexiteam onder leiding van commissaris Van der Straten. Dit is de Justitie-minister in het verkeerde keelgat geschoten.
 
Brieven
 
De minister van Justitie stuurde daarom enige weken geleden een brief naar Pechtolds voorganger, minister Thom de Graaf van Bestuurlijke Vernieuwing en Koninkrijksrelaties, met daarin klachten over het optreden van Van der Straten. Volgens minister Croes is Van der Straten met de arrestatie van de twee BID-medewerkers buiten zijn boekje gegaan. Volgens de Justitie-minister had Van der Straten niet het mandaat van het OM om de twee te arresteren. Het OM geeft geen commentaar hierop.
 
Pechtold heeft de brief van Croes inmiddels beantwoord. Deze brief is afgelopen woensdag bij het ministerie van Justitie bezorgd. Minister-president Nelson Oduber ontving een afschrift. Volgens Victor Henriquez van het ministerie van Justitie schrijft Pechtold in deze brief dat Van der Straten een goede staat van dienst heeft. Ook schrijft Pechtold dat er nooit klachten waren over het functioneren van de commissaris en dat hij de huidige commotie niet begrijpt. Beide bewindslieden ontmoeten elkaar waarschijnlijk vandaag en morgen tijdens Pechtolds bezoek aan Aruba. Het onderwerp ‘Van der Straten’ zal zeker aan de orde komen bij dit overleg. Commissaris Van der Straten gaat overigens over twee maanden met pensioen.
 
Minister Croes heeft in de pers zijn boosheid geuit over het feit dat de Nederlandse Vertegenwoordiging zijn brief aan minister De Graaf heeft geopend en gelezen. De Nederlandse Vertegenwoordiging stelt echter dat dit een standaardprocedure is. Ronald de Kort van de Nederlandse Vertegenwoordiging: “Dit gebeurt met alle post die via ons naar het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken in Nederland wordt gestuurd. Wij vallen zelf immers ook onder dat ministerie en het is gebruikelijk dat de Nederlandse Vertegenwoordiging adviseert over dergelijke stukken.”
 
Van der Straten doet intussen gewoon zijn werk en ziet geen grond voor een reactie. Hij stelt dat hem geen brief is geschreven met commentaar op zijn functioneren, dus dat hem ook niet duidelijk is waarop hij zou moeten reageren.
 
Het is overigens niet de eerste keer dat Croes probeert Van der Straten weg te werken. In januari 2003 liepen de spanningen hoog op, toen minister Croes zonder opgaaf van redenen de commissaris zijn uitvoerende bevoegdheden ontnam. Enige tijd later kreeg hij die, ook weer zonder toelichting, terug. (Amigoe)

Controverse on Commissioner Van der Straten
 

ORANJESTAD - Minister of Justice Rudy Croes (MEP) has written a letter to the Minister for Government Reform and Kingdom Relations, Alexander Pechtold (D66), in which he complains about the actions of Police Jan van der Straten.

 

The reason must be sought in the arrest of two employees of the Office of Information and Documentation (BID) on the bestuurskantoor. Pechtold has now responded to the letter of Croes. He suggested that Van der Straten a good track record and that he Croes of the commotion around the Commissioner does not understand.
 

The two BID employees were arrested because of telephone threats from the telephone in their workplace. One of the two is not a suspect in this case. Against the second person, KJK, runs a criminal investigation. He is suspected of threat. K. Has been provisionally set at liberty. The Public Attorney's Office (OM) will soon decide whether the prosecution. Both men were arrested by the Flexiteam led by Commissioner Van der Straten. This is the Justice Minister in the wrong keelgat shot.

 

Letters
 

The Minister for Justice, therefore, sent a letter several weeks ago to Pechtolds predecessor, Minister Thom de Graaf of Government Reform and Kingdom Relations, which includes complaints about the actions of Van der Straten. According to Minister Croes, Van der Straten with the arrest of the two BID employees outside his booklet gone. According to the Justice Minister had Van der Straten not the mandate of the OM every two to arrest. The OM does not comment on it.
 

Pechtold's letter Croes has been answered. This letter was last Wednesday at the Ministry of Justice delivered. Prime Minister Nelson Oduber received a copy. According to Victor Henriquez of the Ministry of Justice Pechtold writes in this letter that Van der Straten a good track record. Pechtold also writes that there were never complaints about the functioning of the Commissioner and that he does not understand the current commotion. Both leaders will meet today and probably tomorrow Pechtolds visit to Aruba. The issue of Van der Straten 'will certainly be addressed in these consultations. Commissioner Van der Straten goes about two months with retirement.
 

Minister Croes has in the press expressed his anger over the fact that the Dutch Representation his letter to Minister De Graaf has opened and read. The Dutch Representation argues, however, that this is a standard practice. Ronald de Kort of the Dutch Representation: "This happens with all correspondence received by us to the Ministry of Home Affairs in the Netherlands. We are themselves also under the same ministry, and it is customary for the Dutch Representation advises on such documents. "
 

Van der Straten meanwhile simply does his work and sees no basis for a response. He argues that his letter was not written comments on its operation, so that it is not clear where he would have to respond.
 
It is not the first time that Croes tries Van der Straten eliminated. In January 2003, tensions ran high when Croes minister without giving reasons Commissioner deprived his executive powers. Some time later he received which, again without explanation, back. (Amigoe)

Thanks caesu!

Please let us know if you see anything else about Joran being in a Psychiatric facility. 

i will do that.
for now only source is Privé tabloid.

also in Roosenburg there are 10 places for 16 week period stay.
and 2 places for an extended stay. it is a full day/night stay. not only day care are a few days in the week.
two units, 6 places each.
http://www.altrecht.nl/www/site/32/180/332

it is voluntary. i doubt Joran would have comitted himself to stay there for 4 months.

i posted the same on Fok! dutch forum, but it was removed.
understandbly, because maybe a mob will lay siege there like what happened in Drachten.

there is also a clinic for post-TBS-treatment in the same building.
but this is for offenders who have been convicted and are released from TBS.
so Joran is not there - or they made an exception.
24 places, both a open units (D) and closed units (BC) (intensive care).

June 16, at 8:50 pm I am asked to further clarify a remark I made to
the Judge-Commissaris. I had said earlier that I had done something wrong
and that I was willing to give a statement about that
:
What I meant when I spoke with the Judge-Commissaris, is that I made a
mistake by leaving Natalee alone on the beach.
About what I spoke for 8 minutes with Deepak on May 30 2005 at 2:26 am
while using my mobile phone I tell you that I cannot remember.



Hmmmmm....what did he really say to the judge earlier??  Before clearing it with his dad???

Something that made the FBI tell the family that Natalee was dead??  and he can't remember the 8 min phone call to Deepak??? hmmmm....

I notice the word "probably" in the above.

Also, in Joran's book, didn't he note that they had a small home that was added onto?  Where did everyone sleep before they added those two additional buildings?

About what I spoke for 8 minutes with Deepak on May 30 2005 at 2:26 am
while using my mobile phone I tell you that I cannot remember.



Hmmmmm....what did he really say to the judge earlier??  Before clearing it with his dad???

Something that made the FBI tell the family that Natalee was dead??  and he can't remember the 8 min phone call to Deepak??? hmmmm....

He did something wrong leaving her at the beach?
I think in one of the pv's when he was picked up by satish or deepak it said something like: F##k that B$$$$h lets go
dont sound like feeling bad about doing something wrong to me

Joran's book page3 per Ramm at BFN:

- both parents working, took on a jamaican housekeeper to live on-site (in appartment) as babysitter and housekeeper, name Lisa. She was a sweet babysitter and good cook but crappy cleaner so Anita did a lot of the cleaning as she thought the good babysitter function was more important

- when they got older, no need for live in housekeeper/babysitter so apartment rented out to mostly interns. One guy lived there, ran up a big rent debt and was kicked out. Still needs to pay, PVDS believes one day he will pay out of the "goodness of his heart", JVDS and brother ridicule his dad for that belief. Then it stood empty for some time

This is very long, but since we are slow and since caesu might like this site, I will post.

This is from korps suriname site quoting Amigoe, in April 2005 (before Natalee).  Seems Rudy Croes was upset with VanderStraten because he arrested someone without Rudy giving the ok.  Does the Minister of Justice order or ok prosecutions, on a routine basis??

Controverse over commissaris Van der Straten
 
ORANJESTAD — Minister van Justitie Rudy Croes (MEP) heeft een brief geschreven aan de minister van Bestuurlijke Vernieuwing en Koninkrijksrelaties, Alexander Pechtold (D66), waarin hij zijn beklag doet over het optreden van politiecommissaris Jan van der Straten.
 
De reden moet worden gezocht in het arresteren van twee medewerkers van het Bureau Informatievoorziening en Documentatie (BID) op het bestuurskantoor. Pechtold heeft inmiddels gereageerd op de brief van Croes. Hij stelt dat Van der Straten een goede staat van dienst heeft en dat hij de commotie van Croes rondom de commissaris niet begrijpt.
 
De twee BID-medewerkers werden opgepakt wegens telefonische bedreigingen vanaf het telefoontoestel op hun werkplek. Eén van de twee is geen verdachte meer in deze zaak. Tegen de tweede persoon, K.J.K., loopt nog een strafrechtelijk onderzoek. Hij wordt verdacht van bedreiging. K. is voorlopig op vrije voeten gesteld. Het Openbaar Ministerie (OM) beslist binnenkort of het tot vervolging komt. Beide mannen werden opgepakt door het Flexiteam onder leiding van commissaris Van der Straten. Dit is de Justitie-minister in het verkeerde keelgat geschoten.
 
Brieven
 
De minister van Justitie stuurde daarom enige weken geleden een brief naar Pechtolds voorganger, minister Thom de Graaf van Bestuurlijke Vernieuwing en Koninkrijksrelaties, met daarin klachten over het optreden van Van der Straten. Volgens minister Croes is Van der Straten met de arrestatie van de twee BID-medewerkers buiten zijn boekje gegaan. Volgens de Justitie-minister had Van der Straten niet het mandaat van het OM om de twee te arresteren. Het OM geeft geen commentaar hierop.
 
Pechtold heeft de brief van Croes inmiddels beantwoord. Deze brief is afgelopen woensdag bij het ministerie van Justitie bezorgd. Minister-president Nelson Oduber ontving een afschrift. Volgens Victor Henriquez van het ministerie van Justitie schrijft Pechtold in deze brief dat Van der Straten een goede staat van dienst heeft. Ook schrijft Pechtold dat er nooit klachten waren over het functioneren van de commissaris en dat hij de huidige commotie niet begrijpt. Beide bewindslieden ontmoeten elkaar waarschijnlijk vandaag en morgen tijdens Pechtolds bezoek aan Aruba. Het onderwerp ‘Van der Straten’ zal zeker aan de orde komen bij dit overleg. Commissaris Van der Straten gaat overigens over twee maanden met pensioen.
 
Minister Croes heeft in de pers zijn boosheid geuit over het feit dat de Nederlandse Vertegenwoordiging zijn brief aan minister De Graaf heeft geopend en gelezen. De Nederlandse Vertegenwoordiging stelt echter dat dit een standaardprocedure is. Ronald de Kort van de Nederlandse Vertegenwoordiging: “Dit gebeurt met alle post die via ons naar het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken in Nederland wordt gestuurd. Wij vallen zelf immers ook onder dat ministerie en het is gebruikelijk dat de Nederlandse Vertegenwoordiging adviseert over dergelijke stukken.”
 
Van der Straten doet intussen gewoon zijn werk en ziet geen grond voor een reactie. Hij stelt dat hem geen brief is geschreven met commentaar op zijn functioneren, dus dat hem ook niet duidelijk is waarop hij zou moeten reageren.
 
Het is overigens niet de eerste keer dat Croes probeert Van der Straten weg te werken. In januari 2003 liepen de spanningen hoog op, toen minister Croes zonder opgaaf van redenen de commissaris zijn uitvoerende bevoegdheden ontnam. Enige tijd later kreeg hij die, ook weer zonder toelichting, terug. (Amigoe)

Controverse on Commissioner Van der Straten
 

ORANJESTAD - Minister of Justice Rudy Croes (MEP) has written a letter to the Minister for Government Reform and Kingdom Relations, Alexander Pechtold (D66), in which he complains about the actions of Police Jan van der Straten.

 

The reason must be sought in the arrest of two employees of the Office of Information and Documentation (BID) on the bestuurskantoor. Pechtold has now responded to the letter of Croes. He suggested that Van der Straten a good track record and that he Croes of the commotion around the Commissioner does not understand.
 

The two BID employees were arrested because of telephone threats from the telephone in their workplace. One of the two is not a suspect in this case. Against the second person, KJK, runs a criminal investigation. He is suspected of threat. K. Has been provisionally set at liberty. The Public Attorney's Office (OM) will soon decide whether the prosecution. Both men were arrested by the Flexiteam led by Commissioner Van der Straten. This is the Justice Minister in the wrong keelgat shot.

 

Letters
 

The Minister for Justice, therefore, sent a letter several weeks ago to Pechtolds predecessor, Minister Thom de Graaf of Government Reform and Kingdom Relations, which includes complaints about the actions of Van der Straten. According to Minister Croes, Van der Straten with the arrest of the two BID employees outside his booklet gone. According to the Justice Minister had Van der Straten not the mandate of the OM every two to arrest. The OM does not comment on it.
 

Pechtold's letter Croes has been answered. This letter was last Wednesday at the Ministry of Justice delivered. Prime Minister Nelson Oduber received a copy. According to Victor Henriquez of the Ministry of Justice Pechtold writes in this letter that Van der Straten a good track record. Pechtold also writes that there were never complaints about the functioning of the Commissioner and that he does not understand the current commotion. Both leaders will meet today and probably tomorrow Pechtolds visit to Aruba. The issue of Van der Straten 'will certainly be addressed in these consultations. Commissioner Van der Straten goes about two months with retirement.
 

Minister Croes has in the press expressed his anger over the fact that the Dutch Representation his letter to Minister De Graaf has opened and read. The Dutch Representation argues, however, that this is a standard practice. Ronald de Kort of the Dutch Representation: "This happens with all correspondence received by us to the Ministry of Home Affairs in the Netherlands. We are themselves also under the same ministry, and it is customary for the Dutch Representation advises on such documents. "
 

Van der Straten meanwhile simply does his work and sees no basis for a response. He argues that his letter was not written comments on its operation, so that it is not clear where he would have to respond.
 
It is not the first time that Croes tries Van der Straten eliminated. In January 2003, tensions ran high when Croes minister without giving reasons Commissioner deprived his executive powers. Some time later he received which, again without explanation, back. (Amigoe)

that's another instance in which Rudy Croes gets too much involved with the OM.

no surprise that Hans Mos is denying that there is pressure from Rudy Croes isn't prosecuting the AVP politicians.

If the picture of the Sloot home is labled correctly, the distance between Joran's apt. and his parent's room is more than 15 feet. The pool's more than 15 feet and it lies between the two. Glenda's FOS, again.

FOS is her middle name:  Julia FOS Renfro  ::MonkeyHaHa::

There are some other possibilities...

1.  That really isn't the VDS compound in the picture posted by *******.  ALE searched the wrong compound twice.  The VDS actually live next door, the home with the monkey cage, or the house with the blue kiddie pool.

2.  Did anyone at RU ask these people to provide some kind of diagram to support their distance measurements? 

3.  There are so many pictures of the compound, those with GVS, Beth, Joran (laptop/pool), dogs, NE, etc., do any of these looked manipulated in some way?  Perhaps they make the property look larger than it really is?

I don't speak Dutch, but it's quoted as from his book.  They had heard the new story from K2 and heard from Freddy by this time...I believe Joran did tell what happen...JVDS offered him TBS and then Joran decided to tell the beach story instead...of course, it was just a mix up...who was the judge?? He's talked to him twice, in less than a week (arrested June 9th).  Why did he have to talk to the judge??  Does everyone have to?? or is Joran special??

There was an argument there, earlier today. paraphrased:

Joran did not live in Appartment. In most of the homes in Aruba, the rooms are not connected by walls, but rather walkways. Joran's room is within 15 feet to the Parent's room and their room (also not connected) is within 15 feet of the main house where the Kitchen and Living Room probably are.



Please!!  That apartment used to be rented out.  It is more than a bedroom.  Try a bath and kitchenette.  Sheesh!


All the more reason to search the main residence if they are that close together. That would put Paulus and Joran in close proximity which makes the Judge Bob Wit's ruling look even more suspicious as he was there, at the house, and knew the circumstances. Would be even more familiar if he was a frequent or even occasional guest of the Van der Sly.

Judge Bob Wit is a crook!

Right on CBB, there is too much realism in his actions. Sure, he left out the drugging her part, wouldn't be studly, and made a special point of saying Daddy wasn't involved ,when Patrick didn't even ask, but there was a lot of truth in his confession.

As for Renfro, her once ugly mug that was all over US media has been reduced to typing bullshit to a pint-size Peanut Gallery willing to read her garbage. MSM won't touch her with a 10-foot shit stick. Nuff said.

Scarlett: Dozens of suspicious death cases in Goa to be reinvestigated

Last updated at 23:17pm on 14th March 2008

The deaths of at least four Britons could be reinvestigated by police in Goa after police admitted covering up the death of Scarlett Keeling.

Officers said they would reopen investigations into dozens of suspicious deaths passed off as accidents.

At least 126 foreign nationals have died in the South Indian resort area in the past two years, 40 of them British.

Convenient and ever-changing memories are the hallmarks of Joran's and Paulus' statements, JE. It is pretty damn clear from what we saw progress that Jannsen and Van der Straten were buying Joran time to create the perfect alibi by arresting the security guards and not the three amigos.

Paulus' statements are pock-marked like a WWII German minefield with thimngs he "just can't seem to remember." Of course these and Joran's inconsistencies are never probed by the investigators, merely waxed over and moved on by the crack unterrogators willfully trying to get him off the hook.

Where is Hans Mos in all of this? His knees are knocking and teeth chattering in some dark corner of an office in Aruba crapping his pants at the mere thought of having to prosecute the case. Dop is bringing him happies in the form of Valium with coconut rum chasers.

yes.
with aruba, white skin doesn't mean dutch.
that makes aruba different from the other islands.

that's also one of the reasons why aruba wanted status aparte so badly.
didn't want to be ruled by willemstad.
most black people only moved to aruba with the opening of the lago oil refinery beginning 20th century.
not many slaves were moved to aruba, no slave plantations on aruba, just horses and goats herded by indians.

Like Joran or Paulus would have been too burdened to traverse the vast 15-20 feet that seperates the two buildings to hide anything, like a body?

To make such a ruling the judge would have had to assume that Paulus was not involved when Joran was arrested, but how does a judge justify that assumption when Paulus himself is arrested for Conspiracy to Murder and he still restricts search his residence?

Did that say that Mos didn't prosecute because Rudy pressured him no to prosecute or Mos didn't prosecute despite the pressure from Rudy??   :smt102
 

Got messed up again.  Odie is PM of Aruba.  Now this makes sense.  Rudy is Dutch and is Minister of Justice.  So his lordship would fit better (in their world) with judges or minister of justice Croes.  Been at this so long, I am about to bite my own butt.   Jack b

no, Rudy Croes is not Dutch.


What is he Caesu? He sure looks Dutch. There's an old saying here if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and acts like a duck... it's a duck! Has he merely lived on Aruba so long that he qualifies as an Aruban?

i revert to the above comment i made.
white arubans are descendants from indians/portugese/dutch and still somewhat the elite compared to black/darker arubans.
the eman brothers are also white. betico croes was also white.

that's is rumoured to be a reason why they portrayed joran in the 'most wanted' programs with a darker skin!
curaçao was very angry at the aruban OM by this.

last month the dutch PM was on aruba.
also dutch justice minister Hirsch Ballin went to aruba.

there was a tripartite meeting planned between the dutch (hirsch ballin) , aruban (rudy croes) and antilles (david dick) justice ministers.
this meeting takes places every 6 months.

but it didn't happen!

rudy croes didn't show up.
and hirsch ballin was ill.

david dick is at the moment entangled in a corruption scandal on st. maarten.

in january 2008 it was reported that rudy croes was boycotting the tripartite meeting because the dutch wouldn't give aruba their share (or enough of it) of the money from the sale of the Plant Hotel / Mariott Complex.

http://antilliaans.caribiana.nl/aruba/car20080112_vanbeek-planthotel

hirsch ballin and rudy croes dit however meet a few days later.

agreed was that aruba would keep his procureur generaal.
(so not one shared procureur generaal for both aruba and the antilles as the dutch wanted for years)
and the dutch justice minister wouldn't have direct influence on the aruban procureur generaal.
only through the kingdom cabinet (art. 43).
http://antilliaans.caribiana.nl/aruba/car20080219_eigen-PG
the dutch justice minister does have direct influence on the antilles procureur generaal.
and also on the upcoming procureur generaal of the new countries curaçao and st. maarten.

here is a response from Ank Bijleveld - secretary for kingdom affairs - to questions raised by Hero Brinkman after the NOVA broadcasts about corruption in the Antilles, Aruba.

http://ikregeer.nl/document/KST116263

-all political and state trips (180 )are necessary because of the upcoming reforms on the antilles (not aruba).

-other dutch ministerial departments are responsible for some political and state trips.

-aruban / antilles justice ministers (david dick and rudy croes) are responsible (for the corruption surrounding the prisons).

thank you for your work for us here at SM's.  I have a questions that I really don't understand, why would the Dutch government basically give these islands freedom to do what they want as far as self-government when it is obvious that there is so much corruption, so much wrong with the way these islands control themselves. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  I wouldn't want to always be picking up the pieces from the corrupt officials.  Thanks.

i have the same questions. i try to understand it myself.
if i find something interesting i post it here.
while i am translating sometimes i understand it a bit more. but not the whole picture yet.

but the islands can't stand on their own. aruba is maybe the only island who can financially.
but not for defense or judicial, because they need the coast guard/marines and dutch judges.
also the dutch abused those six islands for hunderds of years. so it is a bit rude to just let them float towards venezuela.
also if aruba or curaçao go for independence many will flee to the netherlands just before the independence day.
therefore i think it is a bit of a messed up relation. they got eachother by their throats somehow.
i don't know what the real solution is.

but st. maarten for example is putting all the corrupt officials in jail right now. that may be a good example.

so aruba (the OM or the businesses or the governemnt) are suiing the american media for alleging corruption or for damaging the economy?

Greta said bring it on.  She wants to get all these people under oath and deposition.


No law suit ever brought against an American in this case will ever succeed because Aruban authorities cannot provide discovery. If they did they'd expose the corruption in the case and no jury would ever convict. Yjid starts with the Kalpoes and could cost them a world of money in reverse damages.

It's puzzling they would pick Greta because she has been much more harmless than Geraldo and O'Reilly when it comes to calling them out on being the corrupt bums that they are.

But the good news is that Greta will just become more hardened against them, the entire Fox network will as well, and the Arubans will just give Americans one more reason to not go there. This does sound like another cock-haired AHATA scheme, typical of how they do exactly the opposite of anything that stands for integrity or makes common sense.

If so it shows just how detached they are from what goes on in the news in this country. Greta has done far less damage to Aruba than other Fox anchors and other networks. Sure, she paraded into an empty police station but she also cooed up their golden boy's innocence for a year and a half. That has been their goal all along si she was one of their greatest assets in the US media.

I really hope this is true. It really will be one more nail in Aruba's coffin.

It's up 8% from last year which was down last year as was the year before so in essence they are still trying to get back to where they were before Natalee went missing. When you see a claim something like cruise travel being up 12% you have to remember it was down 49% the year before. They have a long way to go before they ever catch up to where they were. Worse yet, their cost of living has been up 8% this year and last year so that negates any increases. Cost of living increases combined with tourism decreases is a double whammy.

They've been caught lying about their statistics trying to paint a rosy picture. Bottom line is they have had huge cost of living increases due to raised taxes and inflation, and it all goes on the backs of their people.

Couple that with major investors pulling out and those that are there losing massive profits because they have had to drastically cuts their rates to get people to go there and it isn't rosy at all.

They have a death wish, this latest thing with Greta is just one more example of it, and whoever is making the calls down there will gut the place before it's all over. Ignorance and arrogance will be their downfall.

Greta just gave a tease that she is being sued per news coming out of Aruba .. Coming up segment

2nd tease .. Who in Aruba wants to sue me?  And what am I going to do about it .. coming up with panel.

ATA lawyers have sent a letter to Greta.  An American lawyer sent the letter on their behalf.  The threat is slander.

Greta says bring it on, sue me please, I want to get all these people under oath, I would love it.  The panel jokes, but Greta reinforces she wants them to sue her.  She could depose police, it would be a field day.  Panel member says this was about as well thought out as the investigation was.

Ted points out that now they are refreshing the public's memory that they were unable to find Natalee Holloway.  They wonder if this is a real law firm, where did they get their license.

Now they talk of the effect of tourism that the ATA themselves are bringing down with this.

Ted says I never asked for a boycott, but suing a friend of mine .. etc.  They wonder what possesses someone to do this.  Agreed thought, its all about money.

Nothing specific stated in the letter which Greta holds up on screen.  Says Fox relied on false information, etc. and Greta says maybe they did solve the case and we were wrong.

Bernie asks what ATA should do about their legal fee and they all joke about how they better try to get it back.  End.

Ted points out that now they are refreshing the public's memory that they were unable to find Natalee Holloway.  They wonder if this is a real law firm, where did they get their license.

Now they talk of the effect of tourism that the ATA themselves are bringing down with this.

Ted says I never asked for a boycott, but suing a friend of mine .. etc.  They wonder what possesses someone to do this.  Agreed thought, its all about money.

Nothing specific stated in the letter which Greta holds up on screen.  Says Fox relied on false information, etc. and Greta says maybe they did solve the case and we were wrong.

Bernie asks what ATA should do about their legal fee and they all joke about how they better try to get it back.  End.

Just catching up with things around here and digesting the latest suing Greta news! LOL

I have to agree with what others have post that this is an idiotic move on the part of Aruba to say the least.

It will be interesting to see how this story moves along. Nothing sounds sweeter to my ears than to hear US media personalities use the words Aruba and corruption in the same sentence. And that is exactly what will happen if they push this.

Aruba

Land of the Corrupt and Utterly Stupid

BLADE,  your Jerry Seinfeld smile cracks me up!  great avi

Hahahah, yeah, he is a goofy smiling little guy isn't he. I must admit, I do like the monkey judge though, but I had to drop that one since it was already claimed!

No, that would be Guido.

He won't be welcome on any program anywhere for the rest of his life for suing Greta or Nancy.any Faith Joe T. is trying to open the door to the evidece in a backdoor kinda way.I may be crazy but just a thought.Doesn't make sense to me... ::MonkeyConfused::

Statistics can be used however the presenter wishes.

that's right. and i find it telling that the statistics about crime on aruba are not very up to date.

http://www.cbs.aw/cbs/getDocumentList.do?categoryId=103&categoryBranchId=103&firstItem=0&category=83

http://www.cbs.aw/cbs/getDocumentList.do?categoryId=64&categoryBranchId=64&firstItem=0&category=139

(http://i27.tinypic.com/sceyip.png)

after 1995, with a 7 year gap - they just called it 'crimes' or 'traffic violations'
(http://i27.tinypic.com/20j32wj.png)
and not up to date till 2006.

well done Rudy!!  ::MonkeyConfused::


Only one sexual offence in 19 years. Yeah right. They even told Dave to watch his drink because people drug tourists!

Well this will be the end of them, ATA and AHATA thinks it is over with the search and now believes that is time for a lawsuit. I can say the Pendulum has fallen on the whole government. They are in a corner and also in a check mate situation. The corruption that was feeding their greedy can no longer beeing played and now this must be the last chance for the Lawyers trying to get some money for them self with the hope to bring someting in the cash regster of the government.

I think they need go back to school to learn about Strategic thinking. Stupid move....

BTW I was reading some of the updates on shango and there is two stories. The Corrupt AHATA .

When it says ....Bestow the Title soon, it means the LAND for DEALS in the Marisol/Oduber deal on the Ritz Carlton.

The Brazilian Investment group vs the Mariotte being played by a Dutch Dirtyhand.

Remember there is two stories in Shango.

Maybe the OM has cut a deal with Joran that if he goes into a "hospital" for treatment all charges will be dropped against him.  Of course it all had to be approved by Big Daddy and Mommy first but they are o.k. with it as long as their Sporter doesn't come into contact with those big, mean ole people in KIA.  I mean what a perfect solution for them so now it is time to prove to the American's that Aruba does its job and does it well. ::MonkeyRoll::

THIS has got to be the DUMBEST move Aruba has made to date!  You can bet it wasn't Joe who sent the threat to Greta.  He's a NY lawyer and he knows that Greta was a VERY good trial lawyer and her husband is a veeerrrryyy powerful lawyer who has been a part of billion dollar lawsuits.  AHATA couldn't have picked a worse person to sue!   

I'm with you Greta!   BRING ON THE LAWSUIT!!! lET'S KEEP THIS CASE IN THE NEWS FOR THREE MORE YEARS!!

Hi monkeys!  I wasn't online earlier when I watched the show and had about 20 pages to read before I caught up to this page.

Oh, what a dream  I wonder if Nancy got the same letter??   ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyDance::

It justs never ceases to amaze me the STUPIDITY of these people.  Just when you think they cannot DO anything more stupid they shoot themselves in the foot again.  Don't they know what freedom of the press is?  Now they will have to PROVE these allegations against the news media.  They have Joran tucked away nice and safe (with duct tape over his mouth) and they think they can spring into action now before Beth gets her answer on the suit against Baby Huey.

I watched the video this morning ----- WOW!!! I don't think Taco is involved -- he is sleazy, but not THAT stupid to be involved. I bet they asked him to be on though. By the way -- just what IS the status of the Dr. Phil suit???

Is Paulus an American lawyer-in-training?  Or maybe Joran got his law degree while he was in hiding.

Got messed up again.  Odie is PM of Aruba.  Now this makes sense.  Rudy is Dutch and is Minister of Justice.  So his lordship would fit better (in their world) with judges or minister of justice Croes.  Been at this so long, I am about to bite my own butt.   Jack b

If they haven't already proved themselves to be bumbling idiots this will certainly end any doubts.

Way to bring the case back into the headlines.

They do need to understand they can themselves be sued for frivilous law suits.  They are just trying to get money.  They whole bunch of them and are trying to stall by tying up everyone.  It may have been a plan all along down there to kidnap an American,  etc. and hide the evidence, etc., then sue anyone when they tried to find her and justice.  They are stupid enough to think they are just going to get paid off without a fight.  They see America as one big dollar sign.  Those people who are behind this are evil and are mean to their own people down there.  They use and abuse all who are not in their clicque or kissing their azz.
Americans are not known for azz kissing, unless it is a taco or a Renfro or Posner to get their sleazy way.  They are not Americans, they are in name only and that makes a difference.
I have never despised 46 to 50 people so  badly that I feel they should spend their life in prison away from those they use and abuse.  Those nasty people need to clean house.  The Netherlands and Aruba is a disgrace to the world in the way they have no morals and use and abuse innocent people and stand behind the badge of the law to do it.  It is a wonder people don't revolt.    Jack blue

Sorry to be O/T - Klaas, please move or delete if this post does not belong here -
I am now watching the heartbreaking NBC Dateline's program that was shown last night while I was online with the Monkeys.
Some things about the case remind me of Natalee's case.

The Girl in the Little Blue Dress
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23592454/

This child, Michelle, has been missing since 1969. She sadly died that year and her death was covered up by the perps.
Michelle's father has been searching for her ever since.
Because of the father's Persistence the mother is now in jail and on trial for murder. She is awaiting a retrial as the jury was deadlocked 10/2  in favor of a guilty verdict and a mistrial.
I am struck by the fact that there is no physical evidence, yet the state of California is able to charge and prosecute the one seen last with the victim. There is more evidence in Natalee's case than Michelle's.
The difference?
The cover up of Michelle's murder is not directed by LE and other state authorities.

I realize that there is a huge difference in US - CA law and the laws of Aruba but still!
If California can do it, why can't Aruba???
Of course, there is no guarantee that Michelle's case will see justice, but at least the DA in California is trying hard to see justice done.
Why does Aruba not care about justice? The corruption is exposed for the whole world to see and still - nothing happens. ::MonkeyNoNo::
I am excited about Greta's lawsuit! What a hoot! Between that and Dr. Phil, we may see some great depositions.  ::MonkeyDance::


Title: Re: Natalee Case Discussion #743 3/14 -
Post by: jackb on March 15, 2008, 12:08:13 PM
Greta said bring it on.  She wants to get all these people under oath and deposition.


No law suit ever brought against an American in this case will ever succeed because Aruban authorities cannot provide discovery. If they did they'd expose the corruption in the case and no jury would ever convict. Yjid starts with the Kalpoes and could cost them a world of money in reverse damages.

It's puzzling they would pick Greta because she has been much more harmless than Geraldo and O'Reilly when it comes to calling them out on being the corrupt bums that they are.

But the good news is that Greta will just become more hardened against them, the entire Fox network will as well, and the Arubans will just give Americans one more reason to not go there. This does sound like another cock-haired AHATA scheme, typical of how they do exactly the opposite of anything that stands for integrity or makes common sense.

 

That sounds to me like they are thinking with a drug-induced thought pattern.  The cocain side of their brain or thinking and talking out of their azzes.  They are like a little bunch of semi-skilled rocking chair lawyers trying to take on a whole country and hide behind their druged out politicos.     jack blue

Hi, all

Trying to catch up with the new findings and the Riddle.

here is 2:00 AM

Hi Caps - did you see the video I just posted?  AHATA sent a letter to Greta?  Going to sue, LOLOL  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Well this will be the end of them, ATA and AHATA thinks it is over with the search and now believes that is time for a lawsuit. I can say the Pendulum has fallen on the whole government. They are in a corner and also in a check mate situation. The corruption that was feeding their greedy can no longer beeing played and now this must be the last chance for the Lawyers trying to get some money for them self with the hope to bring someting in the cash regster of the government.

I think they need go back to school to learn about Strategic thinking. Stupid move....

on another note got a call from John...things looks good.
 

I happen to agree totally Caps.....the corruption is being scrutinize to carefully to continue making the quick buck and the frustration is $issing someone off big time! LOL

Sorry, can't help myself...I so hope Taco Joe was at the bottom of all this...no offense here, Caps, but those people down there are just plain stupid.  Ooops!  Did I just say that? 
 

You think that is funny:  I just realized why Aruba does not have but one sex crime.  They consider drugging, battering, kidnapping, and rape foreplay.  If the victim expires, then that is considered suicide because they are despondant of their "lovers" rejecting them.  Even if the victim has been shote several times, stabbed in the back and hang(ed.)  Then proof of the suicide is if they are found inside a barrell locked from the outside.  Brilliant bunch they have in LE downthere.  Just what the MOB always wanted.   Jack blue

Well Monkeys...got everything ready to head down to the basement...the big tornado is about 30 miles SE of here...hope it keeps heading E instead of NE...got my candles for *safety* lit...will stay here in the cage till/if I have to move my personal tribe to the basement....


Destiny, Please go to the basement quickly.  I lived in Oklahoma for years and those tornadoes are not to be fooled with.  Thirty miles is nothing for a tornado. Please gather your tribe and go.

O/T...dodged this bullet...but weather says there's more in the chamber...I'm in my home in Dahlonega right now...30 miles from Gainesville, and 14 miles from Lake Lanier....hope my friends who have homes on the lake are ok...my other home and business are 16 miles up the mountain from this home...top of the mountain is ok...I think...if you live in Ga...a basement if a MUST!....Pray that TOT os safe and sound...and ALL Monkeys in the path of Mama Nature's rath....

Did that say that Mos didn't prosecute because Rudy pressured him no to prosecute or Mos didn't prosecute despite the pressure from Rudy??   :smt102
 

Got messed up again.  Odie is PM of Aruba.  Now this makes sense.  Rudy is Dutch and is Minister of Justice.  So his lordship would fit better (in their world) with judges or minister of justice Croes.  Been at this so long, I am about to bite my own butt.   Jack b

no, Rudy Croes is not Dutch.

where is he from and how did he get his moj job reckon?

his is from aruba.
he is moj since 1989 when the MEP was in power. so from 1994 till 2001 he was not moj.
but i've been trying to gather more info about rudy croes. but it is difficult.

interesting bit, like i mentioned before, that he was not interrogated in 1995 during the huge drugs scandal IRT-affair 'because he might become moj again'. current dutch moj hirsch ballin had to resign because of IRT-affair.

this might be an interesting article for more background about IRT-affair and Dutch justice system:

Hi “ikirts”…..thanks for your post recognizing that MOST people think that Betty was referring to me in regard to that tragic Wendy’s shooting in Palm Beach….she claims NOT…but I have asked her many times then WHO she was referring to and she refuses to answer that.

Priss came right out and said she was sorry I was NOT there…..and then she did a fake “apology” to other posters here….really a horrible woman and very scary…..

Now…I am even MORE frightened when I have learned that the shooter was one of those drippy Natalee Holloway worshiping weirdos….his (former) girl friend said in the Miami Herald that he was obsessed with Natalee Holloway even since the case broke…he followed it on the internet….could he be one of those nutty men on scared monkees who write “poems” to Natalee and post daily “messages” to her….could he be someone like that oddball who posted here for awhile…remember “Jimbo” who had “dreams” of Natalee and claimed to have a “girlfriend” who allowed his weird fantasy world regarding Natalee??

I find it pretty darn scary that Priss would post she wished I had been there and then we found out that it was a Natalee Nut who did the shooting…one of those “macho” men who post junk like “waterboard them all” and “boycott Aruba”….some of them are very dangerous I think, they are ready to fight for an 18 year old party girl they never met….Natalee would certainly not have been interested in old guys, she wanted to drink and hook up with hotties at bars, not mess with old jerks on the internet who think they are “knights in armour” ready to “fight ARUBA”….

Any one notice any Natalee nuts who are missing??? I remember “Jimbo”…..was he from Florida?? Any missing “monkees”?? Isn’t it a shame that besides approving when Felon Joe Mammamna made violent threats that Beth Twitty’s legacy of “hate” towards a little island would involve the tacit encouragement of the sort of violence seen in West Palm

As for Priss?? She should be ashamed of herself…..law enforcement officer…mother….supposed champion of “victims”…and then she makes a horrible post like that?? I would never wish that on anyone…..and I would also NOT encourage people online to do violent things.

YES and totally disgusting!  That women and I have been at each other many times before, but I quit, cause it's not worth it! 

But I did leave a little note to her, about how sick it is to make accusations against people she doesn't even know and it just shows her true ignorance.  She get's my blood boiling everytime, which is partly why I stay way from there on Aruba or Natalee stories.  It's like trying to post at RU, and I avoid them!   

BTW, NOBODY there likes her!  They hijack her name all the time and she spends most of her time arguing with people.  I don't know why I let her get to me.  But HOW DARE HER ACCUSE A MONKEY OF MURDER!  :smt097
Don't let her get to you Dihannah,she's just a bitter *itch who used to troll the aol message boards(probably still does).I think I'll head over to Greta's and have some fun with the ugly skanky hag. ::MonkeyDance::

LOL,  Enjoy!  She commented to me and I did make one more comment back, but decided not to lower myself to her level!  I may go check out YOUR fun!   ::MonkeyWink::

“Even Giannico, who said Blake abused her during their three-year-relationship and called the gunman “demented” but “extremely intelligent,” remains at a loss to explain.

The more she remembers about the man, the stranger his case has seemed: Giannico recalled today that Blake became “obsessed” with Natalee Holloway’s disappearance in Aruba in 2005, and that he was convinced she had been murdered.

“He was obsessed with how they hid the body,” Giannico said, adding that he religiously watched television news shows to learn more about the incident.<<<<

Giannico is the former girlfriend of the dead shooter, Blake……

here is a link :

Here's her source.  I just laid some good old fashioned guilt on her.  She's making some pretty sweeping generalizations by attacking SM as a group because this guy was obsessed with Natalee.

Quote
Civil servants' unions reject compensation

15-03-2008

Aruba has had a eventful week. In almost all sectors of the government has been demonstrated for more salary and compensation of the high price increases. The associations have divergent requirements. Those vary salary increase of 5.2 up to 13.5 percent. Regering-Oduber offers no more than a compensation of 950 florin during two years.

The commitment of the strikers is higher wages and indexing of the salaries. Since 2005 the salaries have not been adapted to the inflation of over 6 percents. The group of a couple thousand men wishes a salary increase even to the current living conditions.

The dissatisfaction sits deeply at the civil servants from the different sectors. At nearly all government offices an action has been: the education, the customs authorities, air-traffic controllers and the police force.

It is striking that the civil servants' unions it are mutually in disagreement concerning the salary increase. Also the associations by sector require several compensation regulations. On this the Oduber governement has reacted with their own proposal. Now the associations and the government stand even further from each other. The one-off compensation of 950 florin during for two years is not sufficient for the strikers.

A large disruption of daily living as yet is not the case. The judge has summoned that essential services must go on such as the fire fighters, the police force, the customs authorities and air-traffic controllers with a minimum service.

Why are they putting crime scene tape at this location?
 

That shirt, the original one I caught on a blog was stained with what most likely was blood, and a  lot of it after I put it under the correct lighting and it either had washed up and blown into the area.  It never had much dirt on it, so I believe it had washed up, stain set and blown into the area or hid in the bushes.  The green piece of cloth looks like light padding in a bathing suit or halter top that would be on the inside of it.  I resized the original shirt and it seems to be a button down and from that beach security bunch with billy cromvroits initials on it, however the lettering in the photo had been manipulated and placed backwards.  In its original state it would have Geoffs initials on it I am inclined to believe.   Jack Blue

They are marking it for the *clean up* crew....

Damn Jack...I'm gonna go to an *adult* party store...buy a *blow-up* party doll...send it to AHATA to *pose* on the beach...just to make it look like some bikini clad girl is there having fun....

That is a good idea, but Ahata may have ordered most of 'em already in case the pimps start molesting the locals, also to make their tourism brochures look like Americans of whiteness are visiting.  They got a whiteness thing.  We need to send multicultural dolls so we can appear to be representative of all Americans.  Jack b

For our Dutch posters who have never heard "Natalee" ...the song written by Ericka Harvey. I love this song. It is my favorite of all the ones written for Natalee.  :smt022

Website belongs to BFN poster: lousw
Lyrics and MP3
http://nataleeannholloway.piczo.com/songsfornatalee?cr=5&linkvar=000044

Lyrics by Ericka Harvey:

"NATALEE"

I know your out there, somewhere
I can feel your presence
Pulling me, closely
Now even more than ever
I promise, to find you
I will never stop until I do

Cause everytime my heart beats
I want to cry
And everytime I take a breath
I long for you by my side
Needing just to hold you if even for awhile
Someway, somehow….Natalee where are you now?

Lord can you hear me, calling
Seeking out your face
To see you, shine through
Every cold dark place
I pray for and wait for
You to take me in your sweet embrace

Chorus ...
Someway, somehow...Oh Lord stay here with me now!

Bridge:
Oh my precious child be still and know
I’m holding on to hope and I won’t let go
I need to have you here with me
This is my prayer…this is my plea

Chorus
Oh I need you with me now…………..

Yes, we could bomb them with the blow up dolls and teradactyl turds at the same time when they ran to get the dolls.  Some of Joran's dolls would have to have butt holes in front and back so they would look like Guido in dragg.   jack b

“Even Giannico, who said Blake abused her during their three-year-relationship and called the gunman “demented” but “extremely intelligent,” remains at a loss to explain.

The more she remembers about the man, the stranger his case has seemed: Giannico recalled today that Blake became “obsessed” with Natalee Holloway’s disappearance in Aruba in 2005, and that he was convinced she had been murdered.

“He was obsessed with how they hid the body,” Giannico said, adding that he religiously watched television news shows to learn more about the incident.<<<<

Giannico is the former girlfriend of the dead shooter, Blake……

Here's her source.  I just laid some good old fashioned guilt on her.  She's making some pretty sweeping generalizations by attacking SM as a group because this guy was obsessed with Natalee.

He's one person that network needed to get the details of the case right as well as breaking news..Sure would love to see Dayhiker or someone like that interviewed so he could speak his mind  ::MonkeyWink::

Steve Cohen..Just boggles my mind that he can say in front of millions at least two boys had sex with Natalee. Here we are two years later and the Kalpoes are suing for 800 million saying the opposite. Where in the Dossier did Mr.Cohen read that? Since he isn't a spokesperson anymore why doesnt he explain himself? Sounds to me that is in the police files,as AM Digital reported the same thing on June 4th 2005 that all 3 had sex with Natalee before she dissapeared forever!  :smt092 :2brickwall:

I know this is long but this is from Johan from Holland who posts here at SM. He started posting at the FOK forums and is approaching 100,000 hits on his topics(In the Rebound)just in the last 2 months! He prefers to write in Dutch,but he is definetly on the ball and has gained much respect from the Dutch bloggers.
====================

Yes what I personally believe is that he had idly and that her blood oid. Jorans on shoes have done. (Where he was).
They can always leave those shoes somewhere emergence / with Joran's blood on it.
That is more or less "hard" evidence against Joran.
So Fam v / d Sloot knows that course and know that they are fully in the Tang.
If Joran then tell what really happened, they believe him (justice) is not because of that blood on the shoes.
And I think the perpetrators / maffiosi long since disappeared from the island, perhaps they ingehuurden strangers for Joran.
I think all this happened to Paul v / d Sloot a huge chop to continue.
As a lawyer has vd Sloot in boxmeer 20 years learned to remember that there was a bypass.
So he can imagine that a case has had on Aruba, as a lawyer or as a deputy judge someone a lot of money or a reputation took
Or for a longer time behind bars disappeared.
There seems also a trader in hard stone are those caused by v / d shut out of the island had. But I am not quite sure how that is. ******* would go out.
Yes on those searches to v / d ditch, which did not want someone to be in the house of vd Sloot was sought. Die obviously had something to hide.
  The man who did was open Jacob a white judge on aruba and friend of the family vd closed.

By this I will write a piece about this Jacob white set, but once you have thoroughly read!

Of course, there are trolls in a variety of forums that are trying to invalidate, perhaps that the fam vd closed themselves, family, hired people and joran and whether his friends.
THE TROL:
A troll is preferably using arguments that have been used by others, and proved effective in sowing unrest and uncertainty, and will not mention that, in fact, another (sort of) quoted. A troll will never against a whole group, except in an attempt to present himself as a victim of a part thereof. By itself against a limited number of persons to establish a troll who is trying to isolate, and the attention to lead. By also controllable right to make statements or acts, a troll the impression to be seriously engaged, while the actual purpose of his actions lies in the firing of unrest, and the creation of human beings against each other, in short: in seeding of tweedracht, through lies and half-truths.
Then you also have the phenomenon sock puppet (sock puppet)
This is someone who is below 4 Ex under names register on a forum and then trying to manipulate things.
Then there are those meatpuppets this is a person who all his friends, acquaintances, relatives, etc. to also call to contribute to discussions.

JACOB WIT AND HIS FRIEND PAUL VD CONCLUDED

The most remarkable and dubious role in the whole issue plays
No son Joran, but father Paul van der Sloot. After graduating rights
In Tilburg he works for a time as a lawyer in the Netherlands for citizens
In their opposition to the government, but soon after
Acquainted with his future wife leaves him to Aruba. He
Remain friends in the Netherlands, including Judge Robert Jacob
Wit. From 2003 he was deputy justice for the Antillean Court
Justice and the end of 2005, he judge in training, but then
He lawyer. During that time he learns the justice
System, and especially the personal networks continue to improve. It
Is a small world on Aruba and everybody knows everybody. If necessary
We know each other is to be found in the bar or casino.

Therefore, Paul van der Sloot Police also Jan van der Straten
Know and they are thick friends. Possibly that Paul regularly via Jan
The coal from the fire picks for zoonlief when he once again what girls
Has picked up, too much money has vergokt or something has too much marijuana
. 'We know our' and as Joran in the broadcast of Peter R. The
Vries known, "I 'have something on them'."
Very quickly, Jan van der Straten as research on the matter
Holloway put. Hoofdofficier of Justice Karin Janssen: "There is vast
Come to that already a few days after the disappearance of the father
Boy speaks of the fact that there is no case without a corpse would. "
Justice Minister Rudy Croes confirms this almost immediately and
Also that there are 'many suspicious telephone calls between Paul van der Sloot
And Jan van der Straten went back and forth during the early stages of the
Research. Van der Straten ensures that Paul van der Sloot all
Police and FBI investigations and blocks will in no way
Access for Van der Sloot to the digital scholars in the
Judicial computers. Meanwhile advises his son to palief
Silence and nothing to say. On the day that the search for a welded
Of the home of Joran and the parents, does Judge-friend

In the same vein as the AHATA exercise in audacious idiocy, a little tidbit:

While walking through the Galleria Mall in Natalee's hometown today, one encounters a new car drawing setup which advertises that the winner of the said sweepstakes can win this car... or a trip to you-know-where.  :roll:

Like anyone in their right mind in this town wants an all-expense paid ONE WAY trip to oblivion courtesy of the island goon squad. They have NO shame. I'm sure Beth would have just LOVED to have seen that.

On the bright side though, it shows that they are desperate to revive tourism. Successful destinations don't need to give away trips to lure business.

I would like to know if there are connections to be made in reference to PVDS involvement with either of the Judges Witt or Smid in the Netherlands before moving to Aruba.  From what I've read Smid was installed as a Judge in Curacao on Sept 24 2005 (link below). Before this I find that he was a Judge in the Oberstaatsamwalt, Dept. of Justice, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

I did a little research on Greta and her husband last night. I WOULD NOT want to come up against that pair in court! Her hubby's practice is a real HEAVYWEIGHT! Her sister ran for a Senate seat and is a forensic psychiatrist, and he authored the class action suit against the tobacco companies in the 1990's and won. They've attending White House State dinners and hosted fund raisers for the Democratic Party. I so wish Aruba would take them on!

Thats a great question TM! The rumors were that PVDS was close to SMit and he even stayed at the VDS house. From what I read PVDS spent a lot of time in holland and curacao where he easily could have met this guy. He worked for so many years in the same kind of work in Holland and Aruba for all we know they could go way back.

No question PVDS knew Wit as he was training these Judges the same time PVDS was in training. For all we know it was him who reccomended PVDS to be a judge in the first place after knowing him as a lawyer,working for the Govt or the Prosecuters office. Sure would be nice if we had something more concrete. Where is Tuan Huys(Dutch Reporter)when we need him!   ::MonkeyWink::

BTW, how can anyone in their right mind connect the WPB Wendy's shooting with Natalee? These people are at a level of sickness that boggles the mind. What makes that poster on the Gretawire think that the guy down there had an interest in our case more so than the usual? I mean, yeah, understandably, if he had pictures of her   on his walls at home or something indicating an obsession... that's not good, but that doesn't mean that everyone who follows the case is a potential killer.

We have seen it all with this case, no doubt. It just keeps on going on, and on, and on... the craziness.

Yes, it probably would have helped my understanding if I'd have looked up some of the words too!  I'm hoping Johan will tell us more, and would love to know what he and Katrien thought about Beth's book.

One of our Dutch monkeys (Caesu I think, but not sure) posted the other day that sales of Beth's book seemed to be slow, or it didn't make the top 60 in sales at least.  I wish more would read it, but it's understandable since they've only heard the "trash talk" for almost 3 years now.

It would have been nice to see Beth make an appearance on the premises LOL. THAT would have been a kicker.

If I get the chance to go in there again I will make a note of who sponsored it, or if any of our local monkeys go there they can let us know. For any familiar with Birmingham's Galleria, the sweepstakes is set up in the end of the mall towards Sears, near the build-a-bear place, post office, etc. That place was FULL today with folks starting Spring Break and the weather turning nice finally.

I know *******, it will take a lot more work to get the truth about Beth and Natalee to the Dutch people.  The misinformation campaign has had all this time, we won't be able to combat it quickly.  There are so many who don't go to forums, and the newspapers are still full of the garbage from some I've read translations of.  Look at all the trash about Patrick that was written!  And since the misinformation is all many of them have known it's no surprise they're not racing out to buy Beth's book.  It has been good to see Beth on more of the Dutch shows, but it's going to take a lot more in depth interviews with respected hosts to convince many of the Dutch people, in my opinion.

As much fun as it is to be here with y'all, this is my first time with the lappy and I cannot type very well.  I must use the mouse an awful lot because I keep looking for it.  Chasing my finger around on this little square is irritating. 

I have a good book I'm trying to finish and a hotel room to myself since the DH and daughter are downstairs in the hospitality suite listening to yet more barbershop!

Stay safe, my friends.  Good night.

Goodnight Peaches!  Enjoy your book!

The Nature and Extent of Money Laundering in the Casino and Gaming Industry Hon. Tennyson R.G. Wells, AG and Minister of Justice-The Bahamas
Mr. Rick Smid, National Public Prosecutor-Netherlands

Mr. Smid noted that Casinos are attractive to money launderers for a variety of reasons. One reason that Casinos are attractive to money launderers is because they offer a broad range of financial services including the issuing of credit, transfers of money into and out of bank accounts, currency exchanges services, issuance of checks and the acceptance of deposits.

be paid out in the form of a check or transferred to a bank account. While large deposits or withdrawals may cause unwanted attention, this may not be the case if such deposits or withdrawals are structured into smaller amounts. Money Launderers can also utilise Casinos to legitimise large amounts of proceeds by claiming they are gambling earnings. It is also possible that regulations can be relaxed for important customers; indeed casino employees may even be tempted into assisting customers deposit their funds without notice. Furthermore if a casino company operates gaming establishments in several jurisdictions, it can transfer funds among this establishment to obscure the origins of the funds and thereby assist in the layering of illicit proceeds. Furthermore, under certain circumstances customers can play anonymously in Casinos. In analysing the money laundering risks to the Casino industry, Mr. Smid suggested that a schematic by applied with two scenarios, one in which the casino management is involved and the other where the management is not involved. According to Mr. Smid, large scale money laundering is only possible if the casino management/ownership is involved. It is therefore vital that the ultimate beneficial ownership of the casino be established and to check on the integrity of the management of the casino and its staff. and this however is not often easy. Even when management is not involved in money laundering in casinos, problems can occur. In reviewing preventive measures, Mr Smid commented that in the Netherlands casinos are obligated to report unusual transactions and that these reports are both of a repressive and a preventative nature. Preventative measures include determining the ultimate beneficiary ownership of casinos, insuring the integrity of the management, efficient and effective internal administrative procedures, customer identification procedures, and unusual or suspicious transactions reporting requirements. Mr. Smid continued by delineating several examples of money laundering through casinos in the Netherlands. Mr. Smid described a situation where a customer approached a bank with a large amount of cash to deposit claiming the source of the cash to be casino winnings. These statements are difficult to verify, in the Netherlands there is, however, a reporting requirement for these types of unusual transactions as well as a requirement for customer identification. Mr Smid reiterated the difficulty for law enforcement and other authorities to determine beneficial ownership of some casinos when there is a link to bank secrecy jurisdictions. Indicators for unusual transactions reporting for Casino 4 objective and two subject indicators. The objective indicators for reporting are cash deposits of over 25,000 Dutch Guilders, wire transactions of over 25,000 Dutch Guilders, Selling of chips for cheques or foreign currency in excess of 25,000 Dutch Guilders. Subjective indicators incorporated other transactions which appear to be related to money laundering and structuring below the 25,000 Dutch Guilders. Mr Smid then presented a summary analysis of disclosures from received from Jan 1995- Nov. 96, 1861 Unusual Transactions by 336 persons 50% were Dutch nationality. 95% were cash transactions 192 by 54 persons were referred to Pub Prosecutors as Suspicious and 80% of these were cash transactions.

Miss Scarlet from Atlanta proper here.  As for Tot and Destiny, I don't know where they live, although Destiny mentioned a few miles from Gainesville, if I recall correctly.

Several areas are without power and Georgia Power estimates that power will not be completely restored until perhaps Tuesday.

The damage is wide spread and really looks like a war zone.  You can go to www.ajc.com for photos.  It's truly amazing.

At our house, as far as we know, we lost one pine tree.  Snapped it off about 2 feet from the ground and carried it off further down the yard but away from the house.  Praise the Lord!

Thanks for the information Miss Scarlet, and I'm so glad that you received minimal damage and are o.k.  Hopefully Tot and Destiny are some of the ones that are without power and will check in as soon as it is restored.  Prayers for Tot and Destiny and all of our other Georgia monkeys!

The Honourable Mr. Justice Jacob Wit
The Honourable Mr. Justice Jacob Wit (Netherlands Antilles) was born on 24 December 1952 in Haarlemmermeer, The Netherlands. He graduated from the Pius X Lyceum (Amsterdam) in 1971, entering in that same year the Vrije Universiteit (Free University) of Amsterdam, from which he took the degree of Master of Laws with honours in 1977. After completing his military service (1976-1978) as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Dutch Navy, Mr. Justice Wit was admitted in March 1978 as a Judicial Trainee at the Studi­ecen­trum Rechtspleging (Training and Study Centre for the Judiciary) in Zutphen, where he remained enrolled until 1984. During this period, he held the posts of Law Clerk in the Rotterdam District Court, Rot­ter­dam, (1978-1980) and Deputy Prosecutor at the Amsterdam District Court (1980-1982) and worked as an attorney-at-law with the Law Firm of Van Doorne & Sjollema in Rotterdam.

Mr. Justice Wit was appointed by Her Majesty Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands as Deputy Judge of the Rotterdam District Court in January 1984, Judge of the Rotterdam District Court in March 1985 and Judge of the Joint Court of Justice of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba on 1 October 1988. This Court consists of two Courts of First Instance (Netherlands Antilles, Aruba) and a Court of Appeal. Resident in Curaçao since 1986, from then to the present, Mr. Justice Wit has presided over or sat in the Court of Appeal, but mainly presided in the Courts of First Instan­ce over a wide range of cases, involving: civil law (contract, tort, property, succession), commercial and admiralty law, insurance, bankruptcy and (cross border) insolvency, company law and intellectual property, criminal law (serious crime, government corruption, international fraud, money laundering), military law, administrative law, constitutional law and international human rights law.

Over this period, he has acquired significant expertise in various posts within the Joint Court of Justice system: as Coordinating Judge, Court of First Instance, Curacao (1993-1996); Coordinator Judge of Instruction, Netherlands Antilles (1994-1997); Coordinating Judge for the Dutch Windward Islands of Sint Maarten, Sint Eustatius and Saba (1997-2001) and from 2001 to the present as Senior Justice and Acting Chief Justice. The Honourable Mr. Justice Jacob Wit took the Oath of Office as a Judge of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) at The President's House Port of Spain, on Wednesday 1 June 2005. The oath was administered by His Excellency Professor George Maxwell Richards, President of the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago.

Off the Bench, Mr. Justice Wit has served as Chairman of the Committee of Supervision of the Nether­lands Antilles' Prisons and Houses of Detention (1987-1991); Chairman of the Board of Discipline for Medical Doctors (1992-1995); President of the Military Court of the Nether­lands Antilles (1992-present); Chairman of the Judicial Working Groups on (a) Videoconfe­ren­cing in Court and (b) Code of Ethics for the Judiciary (2003-present); and Chairman of the Committee of Supervision of the Securi­ty Servi­ce of Aruba (2004-present). He has also been a member of the National Committee On Revising the Codes of Crimi­nal Procedure of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba (1987-1998); and Vice-President of the National Committee On Revi­sing the Crimi­nal Code of the Netherlands Antilles (2002-present).

The Honourable Judge has earned an international reputation as organiser of or presenter at important international legal conferences in various territories of the Dutch, French and Commonwealth Caribbean, one highlight of these activities being as Judicial panellist (together with the Hon. Burton Lifland, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge for the Southern District of New York) in London in 2000 with a contribution on "Cross Border Insol­vencies: A Judicial Perspective of the Cooperation and Coordi­nation Between Civil and Common Law Jurisdictions".

Some of Mr. Justice Wit's assignments in recent times have brought him into close contact with Judiciaries of the English, French and Spanish speaking Caribbean. He has led judicial delegations to Antigua & Barbuda (1997) and Cuba (2002) for the purpo­se of obtaining evidence in high profile criminal cases in those territories. In his role as judicial educator, the Honourable Judge has been involved in conducting training workshops and seminars for judicial trainees and Judges from Surina­me, Haiti, and the Commonwealth Caribbean. He speaks English, French, German, Dutch and Papiamento, with a passive knowledge of Spanish.

The Honourable Mr. Justice Wit is married to Sheila Wit-Thodé, a native of Curaçao. They have 4 children: Demseys, Taciana, Eurydice, and Nausi­caä, all born in Curaçao

Maybe Greta could re run the pictures she took of the not so nice ( Palm Beach  area ) of Aruba she took. Looked like a third world dump to me. Most of the population works in the service aspect jobs at low wages. Crappy housing for the majority of their citizens. The only people who do well are the criminals or the Dutch elite who squeze every cent they can out of anyone who they come upon. The only way some of these folks can get anywhere is by doing illegal things, like drug running or smuggling.
Greta, although I do not like her, has a TV show available to shoot her mouth off on every night. Aruba must be just crazy.

I know what you mean Klaas, I've read it three times!  I get some of the points but I'm sure I'm missing others. 

I have the same problem as the translator doesnt always do it's job. I have to look up words like Zoonlief (Lovely Boy I think) ::MonkeyWink:: Johan was one of the first to read Beth's book in Holland so it would be interesting to see what him and Katrien thought of it. I know Flipper also from Holland said his draw dropped when he read Daves book,he even told me he had a tear in his eye.

It will be interesting to see how many book's Beth sells in Holland because so many only knew mis-information that made Natalee and Beth look bad. I noticed nthey don't feel the same about Dave.



This year I read the article of Renee Gielen. Persons who have learned to read and count to ten (nothing more is necessary)
are able to find out that the article is full on nonsens and lies.
She tells Natalee has been in a rehab before she went to Aruba.
This is one of the most silliest things a reporter can write of a very good and healthy looking 18 year old girl who graduated from highschool and is (very successful) admitted to a school were she can follow an medical study. ::MonkeyHaHa:: ::MonkeyHaHa::
Renee Gielen had all kind of different anonymous sources. ::MonkeyConfused::

These ridiculous nonsens are for me reasons to skip Renee Gielen and the Natalee bashers and do not spent time in reading all kind of nonsens.
Better keep concentrating on the facts:
Natalee was last seen with Joran and the Kalpoe brothers.
They lie about everyting.
They probably went to the house of VdS.

Why?

What I think of the book of Beth? I was shocked.

Beth was not expected to be so quick at the house of VdS.

This was what I was remembering about the judge who had chosen Paulus to be a judge.  (courtesy of nataleesfreebirds)

Interior Minister Johan Remkes was called upon by Rudy Croes to take over the Natalee Holloway investigation in August of last year.

Official Remkes is the individual who recommended Paulus van der Sloot be appointed to the bench of the Joint Court.

Aruba's Justice Minister Rudy Croes sent a letter last week to Netherlands' Internal Affairs Minister Johan Remkes and to another Dutch official asking the Dutch police to handle the case, saying little progress had been made, the Solo di Pueblo newspaper reported.

If Dutch police take over the investigation, they will have access to all case files and their own office, according to the newspaper, which didn't cite its source. Remkes will visit the Dutch Caribbean islands, including Aruba, next week, authorities said in the Netherlands.

Hello Katherine, My you have a lovely name.
Aruba always makes a big splash about stuff they are going to do, like get the KLPD involved. We even saw a picure of a packing case of documents leaving with them then nothing. Not one piece of paper has surfaced in a public fashion or been turned over to the family. By this time, the " investigation" must be over. When the case was first on the NG show, there was always a two year limit that was spoken of. If no charges were laid and no one charged, then the family could have the papers. If they never officially close the case, then I guess there is their reason for not making the  documents available to the family. It's just a game about money and tourism to them.

Miss Scarlet from Atlanta proper here.  As for Tot and Destiny, I don't know where they live, although Destiny mentioned a few miles from Gainesville, if I recall correctly.

Several areas are without power and Georgia Power estimates that power will not be completely restored until perhaps Tuesday.

The damage is wide spread and really looks like a war zone.  You can go to www.ajc.com for photos.  It's truly amazing.

At our house, as far as we know, we lost one pine tree.  Snapped it off about 2 feet from the ground and carried it off further down the yard but away from the house.  Praise the Lord!


Thanks for the information Miss Scarlet, and I'm so glad that you received minimal damage and are o.k.  Hopefully Tot and Destiny are some of the ones that are without power and will check in as soon as it is restored.  Prayers for Tot and Destiny and all of our other Georgia monkeys!


All is fine here!Thankyou for the prayers.I live in Tn but very close to the Ga line.We got heavy rain and some winds with all the lights and noise but didn't lose power or cable.What a surprise! It's supposed to be nice today so thinking of taking the boat out and cruising around for awhile.The *Sonshine* feels good on my old bones..Thanks again for praying..It really blesses me to know that there are those that do the most important thing a person could do for someone else,pray..(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-10/867511/Hugs.gif)

There is no way Joran is in a hospital of any sorts. If that was true then Aruba would be yelling it from the rooftops just to let the U.S. know they have taken care of him. ::MonkeyNoNo::

I disagree.  I think he could be in a psych facility for his own protection.

Well I would agree to that but ONLY for protection just like when he was held at KIA. He was in there for nothing more than protection and to control his mouth.
Also would be the easy out aruba has been searching for:
joran is mentally ill,his docs say so.
joran kinda confesses to Natalee's death.
joran now has proof he is mentally ill.
joran is charged,found guilty but mentally ill,given a few months in a mental ward.
Case closed.
aruba can now go on as before(so they think)without uncovering any of the coverups and corruptions on the once happy island.
The end(so they think)

I got this from the great link that TexasMom posted.I didn't know Guido was Booshi Wever's son.....shoot,it copied over in Dutch

 Son minister gets fined for threat

ORANJESTAD — De zoon van minister Candelario ‘Booshi’ Wever (MEP) van Volksgezondheid en Milieu, Guido ‘Inti’, is gisteren na een betaling van een boete van 1750 florin vrijgekomen. ORANJESTAD - The son of Minister Candelario 'Booshi' Wever (MEP) of Health and Environment, Guido "Inti" yesterday after a payment of a fine of 1750 florin vacant. Hij zat sinds zaterdag vast wegens bedreiging van de familie Thijzen. He was since Saturday, because of the threat Thijzen family.


Er speelt al geruime tijd een conflict tussen aanhangers van OLA, waaronder de nummer twee op de lijst Danny van der Linde, en de familie Wever. There has been a long conflict between supporters of OLA, including the number two on the list Danny van der Linde, and the family Wever. Dit werd deels met ingezonden brieven in de ochtendkranten uitgevochten. This was partly with letters sent in the ochtendkranten out. Van der Linde en anderen deden vrijdag aangifte wegens bedreiging tegen de zoon van minister Wever. Van der Linde and others did declaration Friday because of threats against the son of Minister Wever. De jongeman werd daarop aangehouden door de politie en verhoord, maar kon even daarna weer gaan. The young man was then arrested by the police and interrogated, but could even then.


Toen er zaterdag weer sprake zou zijn van bedreiging is Wever junior opgepakt en vastgehouden. When there again Saturday there would be threat Wever junior arrested and detained. Gisterochtend werd hij na het betalen van de boete op vrije voeten gesteld. Gisterochtend he was after paying the fine to free feet. Volgens zijn advocaat Anthony Carlo wilde de jongeman liever niet bakkeleien over de inhoud van het conflict. According to his lawyer Anthony Carlo wanted the young man bakkeleien prefer not on the substance of the conflict. “Hij moet hier op Aruba een aantal dingen regelen voordat hij binnenkort weer teruggaat naar Cuba waar hij tandheelkunde studeert.” "He should be here on a number of things Aruba regulate shortly before he again goes back to Cuba, where he studied dentistry."

Volgens de ministerszoon zou er niet echt sprake zijn van bedreiging: “Ik denk dat het Openbaar Ministerie duidelijk wil maken dat het hard zal optreden tegen bedreiging in politieke campagnes. According to the ministerszoon would not have threat: "I think the public prosecutor wishes to make clear that it will be hard act against threats in political campaigns. Had ditzelfde feit in een andere context plaatsgevonden, dan was het waarschijnlijk lichter bestraft.” Overigens heeft minister Wever aangifte gedaan tegen Van der Linde, wegens het doen van valse aangifte. Had the same fact in a different context, it was probably lighter than punished. "Moreover, Minister Wever complaint against Van der Linde, because making a false declaration. (Amigoe) (Amigoe)

I did a little research on Greta and her husband last night. I WOULD NOT want to come up against that pair in court! Her hubby's practice is a real HEAVYWEIGHT! Her sister ran for a Senate seat and is a forensic psychiatrist, and he authored the class action suit against the tobacco companies in the 1990's and won. They've attending White House State dinners and hosted fund raisers for the Democratic Party. I so wish Aruba would take them on!

(added HOSTED fundraisers.....)


Greta and her heavyweight husband could call Joran, Paulus, Jannsen, Van der Straten, Jacobs, the Kalpoes, Guido, Lorenao, the Gottenbos, Steve croes, Rudy Croes, Nelson Oduber, Rob Smith, Jorge Pesquera, Bob Wit, Rick Smid, and others to the witness stand.

She will also be able to subpoena the financial files of legal bills of the Van der Sloots/Kalpoes as well as the financial files of AHATA, casino tapes, and all other kind of goodies.

This could be fun! Get them all into a U.S. court where they can use the Fifth Amendment in a civil suit. I think by the time a jury sees all the filth that has gone on down there they will end up awarding Greta the damages.

Ahhh very interesting! Rik Smid is a expert on Money Laundering in Casino's!

Snip 
Caribbean Financial Action Task Force

Caribbean Financial Action Task Force CFATF Typology Exercise II: Casino Regulatory Conference Aruba - July 16-17, 1997

The Nature and Extent of Money Laundering in the Casino and Gaming Industry Hon. Tennyson R.G. Wells, AG and Minister of Justice-The Bahamas
Mr. Rick Smid, National Public Prosecutor-Netherlands

Mr. Smid noted that Casinos are attractive to money launderers for a variety of reasons. One reason that Casinos are attractive to money launderers is because they offer a broad range of financial services including the issuing of credit, transfers of money into and out of bank accounts, currency exchanges services, issuance of checks and the acceptance of deposits.

be paid out in the form of a check or transferred to a bank account. While large deposits or withdrawals may cause unwanted attention, this may not be the case if such deposits or withdrawals are structured into smaller amounts. Money Launderers can also utilise Casinos to legitimise large amounts of proceeds by claiming they are gambling earnings. It is also possible that regulations can be relaxed for important customers; indeed casino employees may even be tempted into assisting customers deposit their funds without notice. Furthermore if a casino company operates gaming establishments in several jurisdictions, it can transfer funds among this establishment to obscure the origins of the funds and thereby assist in the layering of illicit proceeds. Furthermore, under certain circumstances customers can play anonymously in Casinos. In analysing the money laundering risks to the Casino industry, Mr. Smid suggested that a schematic by applied with two scenarios, one in which the casino management is involved and the other where the management is not involved. According to Mr. Smid, large scale money laundering is only possible if the casino management/ownership is involved. It is therefore vital that the ultimate beneficial ownership of the casino be established and to check on the integrity of the management of the casino and its staff. and this however is not often easy. Even when management is not involved in money laundering in casinos, problems can occur. In reviewing preventive measures, Mr Smid commented that in the Netherlands casinos are obligated to report unusual transactions and that these reports are both of a repressive and a preventative nature. Preventative measures include determining the ultimate beneficiary ownership of casinos, insuring the integrity of the management, efficient and effective internal administrative procedures, customer identification procedures, and unusual or suspicious transactions reporting requirements. Mr. Smid continued by delineating several examples of money laundering through casinos in the Netherlands. Mr. Smid described a situation where a customer approached a bank with a large amount of cash to deposit claiming the source of the cash to be casino winnings. These statements are difficult to verify, in the Netherlands there is, however, a reporting requirement for these types of unusual transactions as well as a requirement for customer identification. Mr Smid reiterated the difficulty for law enforcement and other authorities to determine beneficial ownership of some casinos when there is a link to bank secrecy jurisdictions. Indicators for unusual transactions reporting for Casino 4 objective and two subject indicators. The objective indicators for reporting are cash deposits of over 25,000 Dutch Guilders, wire transactions of over 25,000 Dutch Guilders, Selling of chips for cheques or foreign currency in excess of 25,000 Dutch Guilders. Subjective indicators incorporated other transactions which appear to be related to money laundering and structuring below the 25,000 Dutch Guilders. Mr Smid then presented a summary analysis of disclosures from received from Jan 1995- Nov. 96, 1861 Unusual Transactions by 336 persons 50% were Dutch nationality. 95% were cash transactions 192 by 54 persons were referred to Pub Prosecutors as Suspicious and 80% of these were cash transactions.

Well that sure blows Posner out of the water.........

Joran let Natalee die on the beach?   Didn't he confess to that one?
Joran asked Daury to dispose of the body?  Didn't he confess to that too?
Joran took her to his house?  PV states they stopped at the Sloots but didn't go in.
Joran showed her the sharks?  Even the Kalpoes said they went to lighthouse.
Paulus sweats too much?  Oops!  Sorry that's documented.
Paulus picked Joran up at 11:00 P.M. at the McDonald's?  Gosh!  I think there documentation that he really didn't...yep, it's there.
Anita doesn't wear a bra?  Nah!!!  We all know she does. LOL
Joran was never in CnC's that night it was someone else?  Let's ask Deepak about that one.
Freddy needs to tell the truth?  You betcha! 

So what did Greta say that was any different from everyone else?  That's what I thought, AHATA is about the most useless organization on planet earth.  You got that right!

As Gomer Pyle would say; "well surprise, surprise!"   ::MonkeyRoll::

Well Golleeee TM  ::MonkeyHaHa:: What was Mr Van Der Sloot doing in 1997 and 1998  ::MonkeyWink:: About that time he was setting up contracts for the Govt and was the cabinets leader for the public ministry. Right after this Rick Smid gave this report on Money Laundering in Casinos. One Mob group left the Holiday Inn/Excelsior and then another took there place in 1997/1998,strange is it not?  8 and 10 years later this same Rick Smid became a Judge in the Antilles and played a vital role in sabataging Natalee's justice.

Appears Mr. Van Der Sloot was just about everywhere in that Aruban Govt. Worked 5 years as a lawyer for the Aruban Govt and was there legal advisor,set up contracts for the Govt,was a the cabinet leader in the Public Ministry,worked for the Attorney General and taught Administrative Law,then became a substitute Judge. After he failed as a Judge he then asked to work for Rudy Croes in the Dept of Justice. We know he then was released as a suspect in Natalee's dissapearance and was allowed to be a partner in a law firm and serve on several Govt Committees. Even though the Supreme Court has wire taps,witnesses and from his own mouth that he had two contacts with Natalee Holloway and picked her up at 4AM. He is still the last known person to see Natalee besides his son.

Faces and names have changed but it's always been business as usual for the Mafioso and the Aruban Govt. That Holiday Inn and Casino has been run by the Mob for 30 years. I am convinced this plays a role why Natalee has never received justice. Paul Van Der Sloot is involved in this one way or another.IMO

We have all read the Rothchilds of Aruba and it's no coincidence that the names involved all play a part in Natalee's nightmare. Just last week Aruba had there biggest corruption case and you will see many of them were involved like the Emans and Croes. 7 out of 10 were convicted and received light sentences.
------------------------------------------
Hendrik Croes – a brother of the island's legendary leader, the late Betico Croes who guided Aruba to its semi-independent status in the Dutch realm – is one of the leading political figures on the island. He led several election campaigns for the MEP, now in the opposition. The Croes Family has been accused of ties with Cuntrera-Caruana. The Sicilian mafiosi payed for a trip of another brother, Rudy Croes (who succeeded Hendrik as Minister of Justice in a previous MEP government) as party secretary to a meeting of the Socialist International in Turkey. This has not been denied.

Paolo Cuntrera visited the island regularly despite his expulsion in 1988. The government opposed his legal actions for re-admittance. But Hendrik Croes has to admit the procedures were not stainless. A blundering government lawyer, an official who signed a residence permit 'by mistake', meant that de facto Paolo Cuntrera was able to circulate freely on the island.

According to Canadian police reports, in 1978, Pasquale Cuntrera owned the Holiday Inn Casino – although the registers indicated otherwise.
"At the start of 1980s the Cuntrera's were often at the Holiday Inn casino," says a croupier. "In 1989 they were there again, although they were ostensibly thrown of the island."

That was the reason PVDS lost his lawsuit according to the Supreme Court..It's not like the slimeball told one person he picked them up at 4AM,he stated it many times until he changed his story before he was arrested. Wiretaps and Phone records no doubt tell the full story what happened.

Good to see Destiny back with us!  ::MonkeyDance:: Earthquakes only last less then a minute but these Tornado's last hours and are scary huh destiny? I think I'd rather see a earthquake,but not the kind I felt in 1994 in Northridge  ::MonkeyWaa::  ::MonkeyWink::

LOL, small earthquakes are way more enjoyable, those mild rolling ones, not the kind that go verticaly ka boom.

"He is still the last known person to see Natalee besides his son." quoting you from above post. As I recall, it was Paulus himself who let it slip that he picked "them" up at 4 am. If I recall correctly, I think that was one of the reasons Paulus lost his lawsuit. What I would love to see is the records of any wiretaps.

I wonder if this is the same Judge Smid? I know his name is Smit also :(

1993 signed the clintons Drug Policy

Rick Smid
Oberstaatsamwalt, Dept. of Justice,
Rotterdam, The Netherlands

::MonkeyConfused:: ::MonkeyHaHa:: Why did I think your post said "Aids" policy?  I promise I'm not BUI!  I found him referenced signing 2 different policies, which is all I could make heads or tails of because most of the links were in Dutch.

I edited it from Aids to Drugs because other links confirmed the drug policy  ::MonkeyWink:: PVDS spent a year in Holland training for to be a Judge,ample opportunity to meet this Rick Smid as well as his 20 years he spent in Holland working in the same field.

I read he failed his exams not sure how correct that was,others say he learned of his failure right before May 29th 2005 but Im not sure about that either. PVDS when interviewed said he was not ready to be a Judge.
------------
I do not intend to point any fingers or acuse anyone, nevertheless for the sake of what is going on I will provide this information: Paul v/der Sloot failed a substancial part of his exams in the judge-in-training program (RAIO-opleiding in Dutch) . He was actually kicked out of the program the beginning of this year and cannot return, hence not become a full fledged judge. Considering his position and his career in the Dutch/Aruban justice system so far, this should have had a great impact on him. Although I truly hope that Paul is not involved and that Natalee will show up alive, it must be said that he was already in a ‘difficult’ position before his son being involved in this situation.

I hope someone picks up on this. I apologize for the anonimity.

Hello All...

Geraldo is in Aruba. He interviewed the judicial minister today who cleared up that Paul Van Der Sloot was a failed judge in training. He failed the test in Holland and the week prior to Natalee's disapearance Paul was in to see the judicial minister asking for a job. Paul was out of work. The judicial minister also told Geraldo that he thought Paul was arrested to put pressure on his son to talk. We get bits and pieces from the officials but this was more info than I have heard from any of officials.

The hotels corruption filters down through all levels. Didn't this hotel allow Joran to frequent it's premises even when they knew he "prayed upon tourists"? Didn't Dave Holloway (as stated in his book) encounter Michael Dompig in the hallway of the HI with a friend trying to "pick-up" tourists?

If AHATA would like to improve Aruba's image, they should not think first about suing Greta for  allegations they feel were harmful  but try cleaning up the unlawful management of the Holiday Inn.

Karma - You were so awesome.  I didn't Google.  I just followed your lead.

Klaas - Can someone get us the name of the dealership that is giving the trip to Crappy Island?  I think that they need some mail.
Good afternoon SS.For the record,the only posters I knew on Greta's blog was you and Dihannah(besides feebleB).:)

   ORANJESTAD - We think it is about time to correct the false information that is constantly being published and aired, especially by the international (US) media, that Paul van der Sloot, father of Joran van der Sloot, is a judge in the Aruba jusicial system.
This is absolutely false and according to information that we have, he was never a Judge.
In 2003, Paul van der Sloot became a deputy judge as part of his formation to become a judge. As such he followed training as his wish was to one day become a Judge in the Common Court of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. He functioned as a deputy Judge, but always under supervision of an established Judge. Paul van der Sloot was a deputy judge until March 2004.
In March 2004 Paul van der Sloot traveled to Holland for a year and when he returned to Aruba in March 2005 he did not receive the required recommendation to become a Judge.
The results of his training in Holland were not sufficient to become a Judge, and he was notified by the President of the Common Court of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba that he cannot function as a judge and has to look for another function.
We know for a fact that Paul van der Sloot did not function as a Judge since March 2004, and when he functioned as a deputy Judge before that time, it was always under supervision of an established Judge of the Common Court of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.
We think that for the sake of correctness and objective news distribution, the media, and especially US media such as CNN and Fox News must stop sensacionalizing the entire Holloway drama and quit giving false information to the international public.

We know for a fact that Paul van der Sloot did not function as a Judge since March 2004, and when he functioned as a deputy Judge before that time, it was always under supervision of an established Judge of the Common Court of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.
We think that for the sake of correctness and objective news distribution, the media, and especially US media such as CNN and Fox News must stop sensacionalizing the entire Holloway drama and quit giving false information to the international public.

I don't believe what I bolded above.No way you go somewhere for a whole year to continue your almost life studies to become a judge and they do not give you progress reports BEFORE that year is up.Seems to me paulus would have known how he was doing thru out that year.

In the US, attorneys have to pass a background check for most of the states before they are admitted to a BAR in that state.  I wonder if the same procedure is true in the Netherlands.  We know almost nothing about the background of Paulass, except that he is supposedly also the father of Lorenzo which would have happened a few years before he hooked up with Anita.  I think I read that Paulass and the Battle Axe were married in the Netherlands and later came to Crappy Island.  I can't help but wonder if Paulass has a few Natalees in his backgtround, too. ::MonkeyNoNo::

Oh yes, I'm sure he was and probably still is definately a "playa", from what I've read he didn't marry Anita until after Joran was born. He was born in Boxtel (not Tilburg where he later lived), Paulus Antonius Petrus Johanna Vandersloot, birthdate 2/15/1952.  Let us know what you find.  I have located his family before, long time ago.  But there was no information for his immediate family listed meaning himself, Anita, and sons.

Van der Sloot, persistent lawyer with principles   ::MonkeyHaHa:: (sorry, had to laugh)

The lawyer Paul van der Sloot, that is detained in Aruba in the Natalee Holloway affair is here mostly known for his 20-year fight against the building of a motorway around Boxtel.

Boxtel

Paul van der Sloot is indeed member of a brass band and he goes all out during the carnival, but in Aruba he is mostly known as the serious lawyer for whom the principles of justice always and everywhere comes in first place. 

There was a huge disbelief in Aruba when he was arrested for his alleged involvement in disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Boxtel had experienced him as someone who would always persevere and had a thorough manner of working. 

Paul van der Sloot fought twenty years long (from 1973 until 1993) with local residents against the construction of a southern motorway, that had to be build partly over the estate of the Van der Sloot family. Paul van der Sloot stood his ground and fought civil servants and politicians that had proposed and produced the faulty plans for the new motorway in the Cousil of State. The motorway came eventually but it was not laid through the scenic valuable territory anymore but further away. 

In his birthplace Boxtel, van der Sloot was criticized a lot because while he was fighting the developments of the new motorway,  the dangerous traffic was still led trough Boxel and this was causing accidents and consequently was costing the lives of many people.  Van der Sloot was seen as a fault-finder that to prevent the motorway from being build on part of his land, was willing to sacrifice the lives of the youth who attended the schools in the vicinity of the local dangerous streets. Van der Sloot said later on that the criticism hurt him deeply.

Tilburg

Van der Sloot (53) got his legal education at the University of Tilburg in the seventies. He co-founded the Legal Faculty Association Tilburg and also the faculty newspaper ‘Nondejure'. After he finished his studies he did not went to work for the government, but assisted citizens that had conflicts with the government.  It was in that period in Arnhem, where he met a woman Anita (teacher of Artistic Formation) and it was also there were Joran and Valentijn, two of his three sons, were born.

New job

In 1991 Paul van der Sloot thought it was the time for a new job and he found one in Aruba where he was appointed for five year as a lawyer for the Aruban government. The ministers there were not impressed with his stance  „I always first try to find a compromise. By simply prosecuting nobody gets wiser.  If the authorities do something wrong I will always admit that. You must never interpret the facts differently then what they are.  I am convinced that on the long run this will give better results“, According to Van der Sloot in an interview ten years ago in the Brabants Dagblad. 

After a while Van der Sloot got a different assigment: the government wanted him to only set up contracts. Van der Sloot considered going back to The Netherlands, but he liked the small scale of Aruba and as it appeared he had enough possibilities to continue with his career.  He became cabinets leader for the public ministry and gave classes of Administrative Law at the local university. 

Judge

Two years ago Van der Sloot Ditch got the opportunity to become a judge.  With his background that meant that he had follow a training course of three years.  During that training period, he was appointed as a substitute judge in the Antillean court.  Van der Sloot completed the training period of a year in the Netherlands recently but he has not conducted a court(hearing) yet.

I've reported earlier below on what I have been told of Paulus Van der Sloot. If a discovered old profile from the International School is actually that of Anita Van der Sloot, as some suggest, it describes one Anita Van der Sloot - Hugen, a teacher at the school.

The found profile of one Anita Van der Sloot - Hugen lists her credentials and experience along with a favorite quotation of "Life is creation, creation is art" and a life mission "to become a spiritual leader," and also stating "My mission as an educator in this life is to touch students’ hearts and to lead them on the path of discovery and self-expression."

I found this interview with Urine, after he published his book.  It was translated by Google.


Wednesday, April 25, 2007 - AMSTERDAM - Two years ago the American Natalee Holloway disappeared during a holiday on Aruba.
 
De Nederlandse Joran van der Sloot, die haar voor het laatst zag, is nu volwassen en nog altijd hoofdverdachte in de verdwijningszaak.
 
The Dutch Joran van der Sloot, who last saw her, is now mature and still main accused in the verdwijningszaak.
 
Zijn kant van het verhaal verschijnt vandaag in boekvorm, 'De zaak Natalee Holloway'.
 
His side of the story appears today in book form, 'The case Natalee Holloway. "

Passages uit het boek over Joran van der Sloot Passages from the book about Joran van der Sloot
De hele wereldpers viel destijds over je heen. The whole world was at that time about your chain. Met dit boek zet je weer de schijnwerpers op jezelf. With this book you can turn the spotlight on yourself. Ben je inmiddels verslaafd aan aandacht? Are you already addicted to attention?
"Nee, ik had mijn leven liever rustig gehouden. Ik heb dit boek vooral geschreven om alles te kunnen verwerken. Ik heb het namelijk niet zo op psychiaters en psychologen. Dit is mijn manier." "No, I had my life rather quiet. I have written this book mainly to be able to handle everything. I am not so psychiatrists and psychologists. This is my way."

Had een dagboek, alleen voor jezelf, niet volstaan? Had a diary, only for yourself, not enough? Of kreeg je misschien een fikse beloning? Or maybe you got a major reward?
"Delen van mijn privé-dagboek heb ik in dit boek verwerkt. Ik heb het niet geschreven om mijn onschuld te bewijzen. Maar mensen krijgen nu wel de kans mijn hele verhaal te lezen. Ik wil niet dat ze later zeggen: Waarom heb je dat nog achtergehouden? Wat mij betreft heb ik met dit boek wel genoeg uitleg gegeven. Er komt dus geen tweede boek. Het ging me niet om het geld. Ik heb er nog geen 7.000 euro aan over gehouden." "Parts of my private diary, I have in this book. I have not written to help to prove my innocence. But now people get a chance to read my whole story. I do not want them to say later: Why do you think still withheld? For my part I of this book are enough explanation. there will be no second book. me was not about money. I did not have a 7,000 euro on. "
Je beschrijft hoe je over vrijwel alles in je leven loog; het continue vreemdgaan en het gokken. You describe how you have almost everything in your life lied; continuous cheating and gambling. Daarnaast veranderde je tegenover de politie tot twee keer toe je verklaring over die nacht met Natalee. It changed your opposite the police twice about your statement that night with Natalee. Zo wordt het natuurlijk lastig om je nog te geloven. This will of course you still difficult to believe.
"Als dit allemaal niet over mezelf ging maar over een ander, zou ik die waarschijnlijk ook niet geloven. Liegen was iets wat me makkelijk afging. Maar ik loog nooit over grote dingen. Het was een manier om moeilijke situaties of lastige gesprekken uit de weg te gaan. Ik zag er geen kwaad in, ik dacht ook dat de hele wereld om mij draaide. Ik weet nu beter, ik wilde gewoon de waarheid vertellen. Ik ben een stuk eerlijker geworden." "If all this was not about me but about another, I probably would not believe. Liegen was something that gave me easy zanašal. But I never lied about big things. It was a way to difficult situations or difficult calls from the road to go. I saw no evil, I also thought that the whole world turned to me. now I know better, I just wanted to tell the truth. I'ma lot fairer. "

Slaag je daar altijd in? Slaag you always?
"Ja, het gaat goed, wel heb ik in Nederland alweer een keer een vriendinnetje bedrogen. Dat lijkt inderdaad wel een patroon. Ik zal dat niet ontkennen, maar ik ben wel degene die het uiteindelijk toch eerlijk vertelt. Ik heb mijn les geleerd." "Yes, this is good, but I was in Netherlands once again a girlfriend cheated. This seems to be indeed a pattern. I will not deny that, but I am the one who finally tells it honestly. I have learned my lesson. "

Wat je over de ontmoeting met Natalee schrijft, klinkt kil. What you about the meeting with Natalee writes, sounds kil. Je bent heel specifiek over jullie seksuele handelingen, maar de passage eindigt met de opmerking dat ze maar een meisje voor één nacht was en dat je haar naam al was vergeten. You are very specific about your sexual acts, but the passage ends with the comment that they only one girl for one night was, and that you had forgotten her name already.
"Het is de waarheid. Zij wilde die avond ook gewoon seks. Als ze niet werd vermist, dan zou ik haar waarschijnlijk allang vergeten zijn. Ik vind niet dat ik haar daarom fout heb behandeld. Wel voel ik me rot dat ik haar daar alleen heb achtergelaten op het strand. Dat was een kutstreek. En die seksdetails? Die had ik ook liever niet verteld. Maar tijdens politieverhoren wordt iedere steen omgedraaid. Al mijn geheimpjes zijn onderhand bij iedereen al bekend." "It's the truth. They wanted that evening just sex. If they were not missing, I would probably long forgotten her. I do not think I have dealt with it therefore wrong. Well, I feel that I rot since its only have left on the beach. That was a kutstreek. seksdetails And that? That, I also prefer not told. during police questioning But every stone is turned. All of my secrets are already known to everyone. "

Wat is er met Natalee gebeurd, denk je? What has happened to Natalee happened, do you think?
"Ik weet het niet. Zelf geloof ik niet dat ze nog op Aruba is. Dan hadden ze haar al wel gevonden. Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat ze niet meer leeft. Ik hoop dat we op een dag antwoorden krijgen op al onze vragen. Voor mij, voor haar familie, voor iedereen. Ik verwacht in elk geval niets meer van de politie te horen. Want dan hebben ze toch eerst iets van bewijs nodig. En dat vinden ze nooit, omdat ik onschuldig ben. Ik maak me niet langer druk, ben rustig in mijn hoofd." "I do not know. Personally, I do not believe that they are on Aruba. Then she had already found. I am convinced that they are no longer alive. I hope that one day we get answers to all our questions. For Me, for her family, for everybody. in any case, I expect nothing more from the police is. Then, they first have something of proof required. found And that they never, because I am innocent. I am no longer pressure , have stayed in my head. "

This is most likely the same family, but it doesn't go as far as Paulass.  I am confused because I had read somewhere that the Sloots were Jewish and this clan in Boxtel isn't Jewish.  I will keep hunting.

http://www.joranconfesses.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=58

The lawyer Paul van der Sloot also known as the father of Joran van der Sloot, that is detained in Aruba in the Natalee Holloway affair is also known for his 20-year fight against the building of a motorway around Boxtel.

Paul van der Sloot is a member of a brass band and he goes all out during the carnival, but in Aruba he is mostly known as the serious lawyer for whom the principles of justice always and everywhere comes in first place.

There was a huge disbelief in Aruba when he was arrested for his alleged involvement in disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Boxtel had experienced him as someone who would always persevere and had a thorough manner of working.

Paul van der Sloot fought twenty years long (from 1973 until 1993) with local residents against the construction of a southern motorway, that had to be build partly over the estate of the Van der Sloot family. Paul van der Sloot stood his ground and fought civil servants and politicians that had proposed and produced the faulty plans for the new motorway in the Cousil of State. The motorway came eventually but it was not laid through the scenic valuable territory anymore but further away.

In his birthplace Boxtel, van der Sloot was criticized a lot because while he was fighting the developments of the new motorway, the dangerous traffic was still led trough Boxel and this was causing accidents and consequently was costing the lives of many people. Van der Sloot was seen as a fault-finder that to prevent the motorway from being build on part of his land, was willing to sacrifice the lives of the youth who attended the schools in the vicinity of the local dangerous streets. Van der Sloot said later on that the criticism hurt him deeply.

Van der Sloot (53) got his legal education at the University of Tilburg in the seventies. He co-founded the Legal Faculty Association Tilburg and also the faculty newspaper



Thanks SS, interesting read.  Amazing that one of the widowed ancestors of PVDS gave birth to a child "Petrus" and actually threw him in a "ditch" right after he was born!  At first I thought I had read it wrong, but it was clearly stated.  He was found by a farmhand and lived!

I am the mother that nobody wants to be.
Prive

March 19, 2008, by Josephine Majoor and Patricia Wesseling.

'I am the mother that nobody wants to be.'

Excerpt of most relevant parts of the interview.

For Beth Holloway, the secretly taped confessions by the 20 year old Joran vdS are irrefutable evidence that her daughter died in the company of and by Jorans doings.
No doubt at all? Beths decisive answer is NO, maybe not all the details are correct, but Joran is responsible for her fate, Natalee died by his doings. In the beginning I had my doubts and I thought: 'Am I just an stupid (idiotic) mother ? Can this boy have really done it ? Do I suffer from tunnelvision ? Also because his mother emphasized what a good boy Joran is. My conviction that he did it, won out, and his conversations with Patrick proof it was a just cause I fought for.'
Beth thinks that the actions by Peter de Vries and Patrick were courageous and she just doesn't care for the bickering about Patrick's past. 'Everyone makes mistakes, everyone regrets something he did or didn't do. But Patrick is a good man and a good father, and I'm grateful forever.
Beth doesn't think that Patrick writing a book, and so making money out of 'the Holoway case' is a problem at all. There's just one that I won't allow. 'Joran may not make a cent out of Natalee's death', says Beth.
Í know he published a book and that is one of the reasons why I have asked a Dutch attorney (Mr. Bram Moskowicz,red) to file a claim for me. Another reason is that it makes me sick that there won't be legal consequences for him. But whether he is behind bars or not, his life has become hell anyway. The most important is for me to know what happened to my daughter, that after 2½ years I've found peace and that is more than I had dared hope for till now.'

Pathetic.

In her search for Natalee, Beth visited Jorans parents Paul and Anita van der Sloot. And just like in the Pauw and Witteman show, Anita was a fierce defender of her son. Beth: 'Joran's mother actually has no idea who he really is. I'd say she is pathetically naive. But the father..... He knows exactly what his son has done.'
Beth met Paul van der Sloot eye to eye when she was on her way to put a prayer card in their mailbox. She saw him hide in the bushes and called for him. When he came out of hiding, he told the cameraman who was with her: 'Please come in, But switch off the cameras, okay? Switch of the cameras.'
Beth describes in her book what happens when they are sitting around the table: 'Anita's telling what agood boy he is. He's so intelligent. I let her go, because it gives me time to listen, to watch and to judge. Then she tells of the hard times they have with him recently, he is rebellious, doesn't show respect for his mother, sneaks out of the house at night. Finally Anita announces that Joran is seeing a psychologist. Then it is my turn. I come to the point immediately. I litterally repeat the statements, the disgusting descriptions that were read to me in the Procureur-Generaal's office.The sexually explicit words that Joran used for what he did to Natalee. Calmer than ever before and without blinking, I tell them which fingers he stated he used. Where he put them. How their son described the pubic area of my daughter, her panties. (....) Small drops of sweat are forming on Paul's forehead and brow. My arms are on the journal, that I carry everywhere with me. Natalee's reward poster with her picture is in the book, in full sight. Paul's arms are on the table. Our knuckles are only centimeters apart. His arms shiver, his hands are mad into fists.(...) Anita is quiet. The wind in the room is even cooler now, but the sweat on Pauls face increases. 'How did Joran get home that night, Paul?' He says he doesn't know. 'Did he go to school the next day?' Again he says he doesn't know. 'Do you mean that in the most critical period in your sons life - he is in custody on suspicion of kidnapping and murder - you don't know how he got home or if he went to school ?' Paul is stuutering when he answers. He fidgets. Sounds unnatural and blinks heavily.His head hangs down. The beads of sweat become drops, that flow together down to his chin and then drop down on the table.' Before she leaves, Beth notices Anita drying off Pauls face with a kitchen towel, to then put the towel on the puddles of sweat on the table.

Mistake

During Beths stay on Aruba, the local population is very sympathetic to her. But then the brothers Kalpoe are being released and she makes a mistake. She holds a press conference and makes an emotional appeal to 'not have those two criminals walking between the rest of the population.' Many Arubans take offense at the word 'criminals'. Unintended she crossed a line. Some of them stopped holding wakes for Natalee. Beth and her company are no longer welcome in the HI Hotel and there is a barrage of negative publicity. Both Aruban and American tv, newspapers and internet feature people with the most horrible information about Beth, her husband Jug Twitty and Natalee. Allegedly she was pregnant by her step-daddy Jug, supposedly she had been in different rehab clinics. The relation between Beth and Natalee was so bad, that Nat didn't want to return to the US. And then there is the story about the medjet. For some days a medjet was parked on the Aruban airport to offer medical help to Natalee and to fly her back to the US. 'A police-functionary and Joran vdS had told us Natalee was fully pumped up with crack. Some junkies had taken ahold of her, kept her in a crackhouse and exploited her for money. But they were finished with her and about to turn her out in the streets. We didn't really believe that, but because they said it time and again, we engaged the medjet and kept her on standby for 48 hrs. In the end we got a bill for 27.00 dollars for another of Jorans lies. Peter and Patrick have silenced everyone. All the gossip and even the inuendo that we knew more about it, were overturned by the recordings of Patrick and Joran.'
Still there were voices heard saying Beth was used by the crime-reporter, by confronting her, with the camera in her face, with Joran's story about Natalee, it must have been horrible for any mother. Beth:'Peter has done fantastic. Before I arrived, he called me througout the week and after I arrived in the Netherlands, he spoke with me for a long time before the broadcast, so I was very well prepared and knew more or less what was coming.'

Lectures

Beth is lecturing throughout the US to various groups. Her message is the same: 'As a young adult travel well prepared. My daughter and I were naive, when traveling abroad, your rights stay behind in your homecountry. Investigate beforehand, so you know customs, make sur you have all important phone numbers, like embassys and emergency numbers in case of a crisis. The most important is preventing one. When children leave their homes and go into the wide world, they have to do it themselves. This goes for Natalee as well, she is responsible for the situation she got into in Aruba. She was 18, old enough to drink, she had every right to be there (establisment where she met Joran). Joran didn't, but had a VIPcard to Carlos +Charlie's from when he was 16. He was an intruder who wanted to get his way. Then again, everyday the most horrible things happen that we can't do very much against. I try to contribute my little part by my lectures, it has become a job.'
Beth visited more than 20 US states, but she goes for all 50. Because of her travelling, she and her husband Jug estrange, and now she lives in Brookmountain with Carl, Natalees dog and Macy, Matts (who's at college now) cat.
When asked if she has a problem being alone, she denies: 'I'm a big girl. I don't need anybody to hold my hand. All things considered I'm fine. And happiness..? You can't find happiness, it's a fleeting thing. I'm not looking for it. Just peace. And that's what Peter de Vries has given me. After the disappearance of my daughter, I found a notebook in her room, with various poems and stories. One of them contained this: A hero is someone who places other people in the number one place.

This is great and you just can't make this up.  It's genetic!!! ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyDance::

Petrus van der Sloot is the patriarch of the Sloots.  He was born in Boxtel in 1808.  It just doesn't get much better than this.  He was born on the floor and thrown in a ditch.  ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyDance::

From this statement, it appears that she knew Theodora van den Broek well and that Theodora was the widow of Mattijs Koppens. She also declared that the floor of her house in the spot where Theodora van den Broek had been sitting showed signs of childbirth. From these lines I concluded that Petrus had been born in the immediate proximity of the home of Catharina van den Heuvel and her husband Johannes de Weert sometime between eleven in the morning and two in the afternoon.

Next Theodora van den Broek said to Catharina van den Heuvel that she was going to Jenneke Vogels’ house where she did not arrive until five o’clock, according to the latter. Between the hours of two and three o’clock this mother must have been busy with the preparations of disposing of our patriarch Petrus, because, according to the statement of Arnoldus Merks, he found him that same day between three and four o’clock. Another argument could be that Petrus from two until three or four o’clock had been lying in the ditch.

Arnoldus Merks makes his discovery after following baby sounds coming from a ditch near the homes of Johannes de Weert and Martinus Leppers. When he got closer, he first discovered a little foot then the child, which was naked and covered with dirt, sand, and foliage.

Just checking the facts....Greta's site said AHATA...Rob Smith, Rick Zeolla etc and Medley said ATA...Aruban Tourism Authority=Government

http://www.aruba.com/about/aboutus.php

So just who is wanting to sue Greta? The Aruban Government or AHATA? TIA

Don't know, but I believe AHATA has ATA members also.  Either way, the government is part of it.

Hi Buckeye...Here's the new AHATA Board...

AHATA Elects A New Board Business      December 13th, 2007

Palm Beach – A new Aruba Hotel & Tourism Association board was elected during the recent AHATA General Assembly, held at the Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino.
The new officers of the board were elected from a slate of candidates presented by a nominating committee headed by General Manager Paul Gielen, Renaissance Aruba Resort, and independent consultant Jaap Beaujon.
The election process was overseen by Dr. Ryan Peterson of the Universidad di Aruba.
The new board of the Aruba Hotel & Tourism Association consists of the following eight members: Rick Zeolla, General Manager, Marriott Aruba Resort; Eduardo De Veer, Developer, Meta Corp; Scott Allen, General Manager, Hyatt Regency; Guillermo Valencia, General Manager Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort; Gary Jutz, General Manager, Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino; Matt Balcik, General Manager, Westin Aruba Resort; Peter Steinmetz, Director, Aruba Airport Authority; David Smith, VP Public Relations, Valero Aruba Refinery.
Two board candidates, Joe Najjar, General Manager, La Cabana Beach & Racquet Club and Andres Pichardo, Senior VP Sales and Marketing, Occidental Grand Aruba, remained available in case of seat vacancy on the board and were invited to attend all meetings effective immediately.
Rob Smith, President and CEO of the Aruba Hotel & Tourism Association reports the new board will conduct its first meeting this week, with hotelier Ewald Biemans, Bucuti Beach Resort & Tara Suites, as Chairman of the Board.



I have a few questions if anyone feels the need to answer them... First, is Paul Gielen any relation to that Rene person writing a book or something? Next, I wonder if Sebastian still pals around with Zeolla's kid? Last, I suppose we should be watching for a group of men standing by the beach cam waving and posing as tourists now.  :roll:

Here's another piece of information from the early van der Sloot family that gave me chills.  This was the fate of Petrus van der Sloot's brother a few months before Petrus was born. ::MonkeyNoNo::

When Lourens Johannes van den Heuvel on July 15, 1808, around two o’clock in the afternoon learned that a child had drowned in the stream, he walked over there and retrieved the naked boy of about twelve years old from the water. He also learned that the boy was the son of Theodora van den Broek. Next, the neighbors took the boy to his home by wagon. Doctor A. De Roy, by request of the City Officials, made his way to the house of Theodora van den Broek and established that the boy had drowned in the water. The City Officials A. Lemmens, H. van der Sande, and H. van den Bosch also appeared at the house of Theodora van den Broek in Spoordonk, where they also declared that the child had suffocated or drowned. Theodora further explained that the boy's name was Antonius.

Ahhh very interesting! Rik Smid is a expert on Money Laundering in Casino's!

Snip 
Caribbean Financial Action Task Force

Caribbean Financial Action Task Force CFATF Typology Exercise II: Casino Regulatory Conference Aruba - July 16-17, 1997

The Nature and Extent of Money Laundering in the Casino and Gaming Industry Hon. Tennyson R.G. Wells, AG and Minister of Justice-The Bahamas
Mr. Rick Smid, National Public Prosecutor-Netherlands

Mr. Smid noted that Casinos are attractive to money launderers for a variety of reasons. One reason that Casinos are attractive to money launderers is because they offer a broad range of financial services including the issuing of credit, transfers of money into and out of bank accounts, currency exchanges services, issuance of checks and the acceptance of deposits.

As Gomer Pyle would say; "well surprise, surprise!"   ::MonkeyRoll::

Well Golleeee TM  ::MonkeyHaHa:: What was Mr Van Der Sloot doing in 1997 and 1998  ::MonkeyWink:: About that time he was setting up contracts for the Govt and was the cabinets leader for the public ministry. Right after this Rick Smid gave this report on Money Laundering in Casinos. One Mob group left the Holiday Inn/Excelsior and then another took there place in 1997/1998,strange is it not?  8 and 10 years later this same Rick Smid became a Judge in the Antilles and played a vital role in sabataging Natalee's justice.

Appears Mr. Van Der Sloot was just about everywhere in that Aruban Govt. Worked 5 years as a lawyer for the Aruban Govt and was there legal advisor,set up contracts for the Govt,was a the cabinet leader in the Public Ministry,worked for the Attorney General and taught Administrative Law,then became a substitute Judge. After he failed as a Judge he then asked to work for Rudy Croes in the Dept of Justice. We know he then was released as a suspect in Natalee's dissapearance and was allowed to be a partner in a law firm and serve on several Govt Committees. Even though the Supreme Court has wire taps,witnesses and from his own mouth that he had two contacts with Natalee Holloway and picked her up at 4AM. He is still the last known person to see Natalee besides his son.

Well, then he knew his way throught the MAZE of government in Aruba and Holland. Seems he had his hands in everything.

Must go to Shango again... and dance with LaLasmom

Wish the DutchLady would give her thoughts her on the tapes made of Joran.

Keep up the Good Works Good Monkeys

Mental illness is no stranger to that lineage.  Would appear from the history that psychosis from either scitzophrenia or sociopathy is firmly held in the genetics that are being passed on to this day.  Mental illness passes to both sexes, although am sure it's all blamed on the female gender.  Bunch of sicko's without the intelligence to recognize it & stop breeding.

I did a little research on Greta and her husband last night. I WOULD NOT want to come up against that pair in court! Her hubby's practice is a real HEAVYWEIGHT! Her sister ran for a Senate seat and is a forensic psychiatrist, and he authored the class action suit against the tobacco companies in the 1990's and won. They've attending White House State dinners and hosted fund raisers for the Democratic Party. I so wish Aruba would take them on!

(added HOSTED fundraisers.....)



Greta and her heavyweight husband could call Joran, Paulus, Jannsen, Van der Straten, Jacobs, the Kalpoes, Guido, Lorenao, the Gottenbos, Steve croes, Rudy Croes, Nelson Oduber, Rob Smith, Jorge Pesquera, Bob Wit, Rick Smid, and others to the witness stand.

She will also be able to subpoena the financial files of legal bills of the Van der Sloots/Kalpoes as well as the financial files of AHATA, casino tapes, and all other kind of goodies.

This could be fun! Get them all into a U.S. court where they can use the Fifth Amendment in a civil suit. I think by the time a jury sees all the filth that has gone on down there they will end up awarding Greta the damages.
 
 
Let's don't forget the Strategic Task Force,  our angry ex-pats,
Renee and the "documentary", Posner, and the list goes on!
My personal favorites would be the Americans, because they are a disgrace to their homeland.  Sorry!  That just popped out.

This is great and you just can't make this up.  It's genetic!!! ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyDance::

Petrus van der Sloot is the patriarch of the Sloots.  He was born in Boxtel in 1808.  It just doesn't get much better than this.  He was born on the floor and thrown in a ditch.  ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyDance:: ::MonkeyDance::

From this statement, it appears that she knew Theodora van den Broek well and that Theodora was the widow of Mattijs Koppens. She also declared that the floor of her house in the spot where Theodora van den Broek had been sitting showed signs of childbirth. From these lines I concluded that Petrus had been born in the immediate proximity of the home of Catharina van den Heuvel and her husband Johannes de Weert sometime between eleven in the morning and two in the afternoon.

Next Theodora van den Broek said to Catharina van den Heuvel that she was going to Jenneke Vogels’ house where she did not arrive until five o’clock, according to the latter. Between the hours of two and three o’clock this mother must have been busy with the preparations of disposing of our patriarch Petrus, because, according to the statement of Arnoldus Merks, he found him that same day between three and four o’clock. Another argument could be that Petrus from two until three or four o’clock had been lying in the ditch.

Arnoldus Merks makes his discovery after following baby sounds coming from a ditch near the homes of Johannes de Weert and Martinus Leppers. When he got closer, he first discovered a little foot then the child, which was naked and covered with dirt, sand, and foliage.

Hi Katherine...I would like to see the Zeolla's on the witness stand, after all that is where Paulus said that he was picking Sebastion up from in his PV.

But surely the FBI has questioned all the expat Americans as they would not even have to ask ALE for permission to interview American citizens living overseas, would they?

Yes, the Mormons have a great database. Info only good as those who submit lineage, or those two guys on the bikes have time to find. There are others.

Perhaps, to find more fruit, one might need to seek another family tree.

Maybe shake the tree of a retired ex-polis and see what kinda flavour falls out.

Aruba Postal Service emits Solidarity Stamps

The 60+30c stamp represents the Aruba Lions Club, an organization that celebrated its 50th anniversary in Aruba on January 31, 1998.

Aruba Lions Club is a service organization that affiliated with Lions Club International. This international organization exists for 81 years now and has 44,000 clubs and 1,500,000 members around the world. The main objective of the Aruba Lions Club is to identify the necessities in our community and look for the necessary ways to satisfy these necessities. On this stamp we can appreciate our country Aruba, being held in balance on one side by a wheel-chair, that symbolizes one of the main projects of the Aruba Lions Club being the continuous delivery of wheelchairs to those in need for them, and at the other end the Globe signifying that the Aruba Lions Club is affiliated to a world wide organization. In the center the emblem of Lions is reflected. The Aruba Lions Club has 70 members, all civic-minded volunteers serving the community of Aruba.

Dang,can't post it but it image #4,near the very top of the image.Also,did you notice Steve Croes DJ'ing on the Tatoo boat in the link you sent earlier?

I'm fairly certain those are pictures of the protest and I doubt Joran would be there, LOL.  In any case, this is the person you were thinking looked like him.  He does resemble Joran a bit.

The only thing Joran would protest is not getting his daily dose of dope, or porn.  This boy looks to have a soul.  Joran lost his in the ditch.   Jackb

Steve Cohen..Just boggles my mind that he can say in front of millions at least two boys had sex with Natalee. Here we are two years later and the Kalpoes are suing for 800 million saying the opposite. Where in the Dossier did Mr.Cohen read that? Since he isn't a spokesperson anymore why doesnt he explain himself? Sounds to me that is in the police files as AM Digital reported the same thing on June 4th 2005 that all 3 had sex with Natalee before she dissapeared forever! :smt092 :2brickwall:

Get a message out to Greta to have Steve Cohen on the show to answer about that as well as the "Lawsuit" and see if he politely declines.Betcha he does!

I am convinced that Steve Cohen was speaking from a foundation of knowledge when he stated at the conference that there had been an admission from two of the suspects ... admission that they had sex with Natalee Holloway.  Cohen never denied his quoted words in his feeble attempt at a retraction.

ARUBA TRUTH
December 7, 2005


A coalition of groups announced Friday the appointment of Steve Cohen to act as spokesperson to North American media, in regards to the Natalee Holloway disappearance case.

AHATA and the ATA appointed Cohen to deal with all media relations concerning the case which still commands media coverage in the United States. Mr. Cohen has been part of the Strategic Communications Task Force since its creation in June. He has a full knowledge of the case  and is an associate of the Strategic Message Design Group that has served in an advisory capacity to both ATA and AHATA.

The goal of this action is to coordinate the responses of the private and public sectors to North American media.

Aruba stays afloat through Natalie Holloway's investigation
By Hazel Heyer

"Anything DNA that is identified to be of Natalee's will allow us to bring a strong case forward against the three boys. We are also getting to finally talk to some of the Alabama teens who left on that plane and did not wait around for interrogation," said Cohen.
Aruba believes it is most important to get a hold of her mental state and most importantly, Natalee's physical state at the time of disappearance. "Two of the boys said they had consensual sex with her. Whether consensual or not, depends on her ability to be conscious and make a choice." said Cohen.

There are concerns about the statements regarding the investigations view of whether or not any of the suspects had consensual sex with Natalee Holloway. It was not my intention to suggest that they had admitted any such actions on the official record.

This is most likely the same family, but it doesn't go as far as Paulass.  I am confused because I had read somewhere that the Sloots were Jewish and this clan in Boxtel isn't Jewish.  I will keep hunting.

http://www.joranconfesses.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=58

The lawyer Paul van der Sloot also known as the father of Joran van der Sloot, that is detained in Aruba in the Natalee Holloway affair is also known for his 20-year fight against the building of a motorway around Boxtel.

Paul van der Sloot is a member of a brass band and he goes all out during the carnival, but in Aruba he is mostly known as the serious lawyer for whom the principles of justice always and everywhere comes in first place.

There was a huge disbelief in Aruba when he was arrested for his alleged involvement in disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Boxtel had experienced him as someone who would always persevere and had a thorough manner of working.

Paul van der Sloot fought twenty years long (from 1973 until 1993) with local residents against the construction of a southern motorway, that had to be build partly over the estate of the Van der Sloot family. Paul van der Sloot stood his ground and fought civil servants and politicians that had proposed and produced the faulty plans for the new motorway in the Cousil of State. The motorway came eventually but it was not laid through the scenic valuable territory anymore but further away.

In his birthplace Boxtel, van der Sloot was criticized a lot because while he was fighting the developments of the new motorway, the dangerous traffic was still led trough Boxel and this was causing accidents and consequently was costing the lives of many people. Van der Sloot was seen as a fault-finder that to prevent the motorway from being build on part of his land, was willing to sacrifice the lives of the youth who attended the schools in the vicinity of the local dangerous streets. Van der Sloot said later on that the criticism hurt him deeply.

Van der Sloot (53) got his legal education at the University of Tilburg in the seventies. He co-founded the Legal Faculty Association Tilburg and also the faculty newspaper



Thanks SS, interesting read.  Amazing that one of the widowed ancestors of PVDS gave birth to a child "Petrus" and actually threw him in a "ditch" right after he was born!  At first I thought I had read it wrong, but it was clearly stated.  He was found by a farmhand and lived!

Not hardly.  The decendents of the Jewish people settled to the southern end of the island and stayed there since after WWII.  They seem to have their own way of doing things whereas the other politicos settled the northern end, etc.  I am sure they intermingle through necessity and after a few generations the lines of "demarcation" are not as clear.  They do not seem from what I read that the southern part of the island is as accepting of outsiders and are very loyal as well to their friends once they accept them and of course their families.  The older fishermen who have dealt with the southern Arubans and the older generation there seem close, but the newer ones on either side seem to be more into hell raising with passing generations. I guess that is about how it goes anywhere.  There is a book somewhere on Aruba and her settlements on the I-net.  A history that was dating back to the first settlements and coming forward.  Again I have that on outside storage and am not where I can access it.  Jack b

I believe at one time and still may be the Sloots claimed Catholicism and Mrs Sloot got into the more contemporary religions.  Just some Buddist or Hindu thing  or some crossover religions (I am not so sure I can even understand myself) such as would the Suriname Kalpoes (Hindu) whose ancestors were of Mid Eastern decent.    again, j/b

The unholy alliance between the Aruban Tourism and the investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway was established at the getgo.  I suspect that it has never been about justice for a missing 18 year old American citizen.  I contend that it has always been about protecting the tourist dollar ... the tourist dollar which funds Aruba's illegal underground economy.

US still drives business to Aruba after Holloway case closed

eTN: Has this been a big challenge to tourism?


Briesen: Among all challenges we’ve faced, including airlift, US economy slowdown, gas prices etc, this particularly has taken up our time and resources. Everybody got involved in this case. People from the tourism department have been moved to the justice department to help solve the disappearance.

Steve Cohen, special advisor to Aruba, came on the show hoping for a chance to talk to Beth about where the investigation stands today. Dr. Phil turns to Steve. "So, you're a paid consultant?" he asks.

"That's correct," Steve replies.

"And, who pays you?" Dr. Phil probes.

"I'm actually paid by the tourism industry, which is the Aruban Tourism Authority, and also a group called AHACA, which is an association of hotel owners on the island."

Yep, that's where the information came from. The person who passed the info on to me does internet research on their own family and knew I was interested in Natalee's case. They passed the info on to me when they happened across it on the internet.

There is almost nothing secret anymore in the internet age. The other night I asked someone who is good at internet research to find out everything they could about me on the internet. In a few minutes the person came back and told me the date I bought my house, the address, and exactly how much I paid for it. When I asked another friend to do the same thing, he forwarded me a photo of my husband and the fact that hubby had had a speeding ticket many years ago.  ::MonkeyConfused::

I know that. I also feel very sorry for Natalee and Beth, and I think it is terrible what the VdS promotion team is doing.
I also realise that if Beth did not react so quickly by going to Aruba straight away, she would not have known what she knows now.
The idea that you are an outlaw on the island Aruba because you can just disappear and it is going to be covered up, is scary.

But by bringing other members of the family in a painfull situation by doing research to the whole family you will harm innocent people and indirect also your own case.
I personally think it is wrong to do research to people, just because they belong to the VdS family, which they of course, can not help.

Joran told in the interview that he was sure Natalee never comes back. He knows what happened to Natalee, that's obvious.

No, that's not what I was going to say. But the familymembers  of VdS did not open the can of worms either. They can't help it.

Would you like it, if you were part of the family of VdS to be dragged through the Internet?


Beth's daughter and the rest of the family never did anything either.  American's nuke.  We don't play around.  This is no game and even their priest is not above looking into.  God help us, someone is going to pay for killing that girl.  She represents to some of us America and we do not like to go missing, be messed with, slandered, or shat upon.  We got more of the stuff, more people, more brains and God, so don't mess with one or you mess with all.  Natalee just happened to go missing and by luck of the draw and by the pitifulness and aloneness of her mother who appealed to me to help her as best I can.  I am not alone in my thinking.  Now is anyone wants to know WHY Natalee.  Why US--there you have it.  No color, no richness, just luck of the draw.  God saw fit for some reason for us to assist, maybe because no one else has had the committment down there, or it seems are stalling here in the US for some reason, maybe security reasons.  BUT SOMEONE is going to give us answers or we will NEVER leave it alone.  It will not get better.  It will get worse.  Jackb

I know that. I also feel very sorry for Natalee and Beth, and I think it is terrible what the VdS promotion team is doing.
I also realise that if Beth did not react so quickly by going to Aruba straight away, she would not have known what she knows now.
The idea that you are an outlaw on the island Aruba because you can just disappear and it is going to be covered up, is scary.

But by bringing other members of the family in a painfull situation by doing research to the whole family you will harm innocent people and indirect also your own case.
I personally think it is wrong to do research to people, just because they belong to the VdS family, which they of course, can not help.

Joran told in the interview that he was sure Natalee never comes back. He knows what happened to Natalee, that's obvious.

That genealogy document on old Petrus Van der Sloot and his
origins is a very detailed and well researched genealogy; complete
with copies of original documents. It was posted for all to see.

All families have a few skeletons in the closet.  The Van der Sloots
skeletons have been there for over two hundred years.
It was Joran who opened the can of worms.
The Van der Sloots could have remained obscure had he not brought
the family to the forefront.

I have a good bit of admiration for old Petrus for surviving against
all odds.

Tamikosmom…I have been looking at these and noticed that Satish has two for 6/9, a total of 3 pages. Deepak and Joran have 10 and 15 pages respectively.

Only Deepak’s said 1st statement as a suspect and for some reason his is not until 3.30 in the afternoon. I thought both brothers were arrested early in the morning.

Why was Deepak not questioned until 3.30 in the afternoon? Why does only Deepak’s say first statement as a suspect? Why only 3 pages for Satish?

Hendrick and Tico are all over the Aweminta newspaper. I know Tico was convicted last week in that Corruption case,but a short sentence I believe. Hendrick appears to be the Lawyer in the middle of this strike involving the Govt employees.

The session was adjourned after National lawyer Hendrik Croes said that he wants to discuss this with the government first.  It’s not sure yet whether the government will accept yesterday’s settlements or whether she still demands a verdict in the lawsuit.

Joran's story encompassing the morning Natalee Holloway went missing changes over and over and over again ... WHY!!!

Logic dictates that to remain silence to avoid incrimination is one thing but outright obtructing of an investigation cannot be given a free pass under any justice system.

The United States administration does not get involved.  The United States administration remains silent while an American citizen has been denied justice by a corrupt investigation for almost three years.

Those who rule the tiny island of Aruba have no fear of retiliation by what was perceived as the greatest democracy on the face of the earth.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

Apparently there was one statement Joran had made as early as June 13th, in the evening as a matter of fact, where he indicated that he had been down at the Fisherman's Hut on the beach, one of the locations that kept coming up, indicated he had been there with Natalee, left, that Deepak Kalpoe, one of the brothers, had returned and that he thought or knew that Deepak had raped Natalee and buried her nearby. And the report indicates they had taken Joran back down there on June 13th to search that area. That's something, depending on who you talk to, the officials say that statement was never made, never occurred, or that it's just not credible.

To our question to the suspect J.A.P. van der Sloot what he thought had taken place between the girl Natalee HOLLOWAY and the suspect Deepak KALPOE, he stated that he thought the suspect Deepak KALPOE had raped and thereupon murdered her.

Wherefore this protocol has by us, the reporting officers, been compiled under oath of office, concluded and signed at Oranjestad June 13, 2005.

My understanding is that Dr. Phil's disclosure only includes statements that pertain to Deepak Kalpoe.

As John Kelly has informed ... Joran's statement/s that was/were given prior to his detainment ... no longer exist.

When the questions regarding the Fisherman's Hut are asked during Deepak and Satish's May 31, 2005 interrogation is considered ... Joran must have related the beach account.  However ... immediately following his detention ... Joran has backtracked in his declaration and relayed the Holiday Inn account in his declaration.  The beach account does not emerged until his June 14, 2005 declaration.

The "powers that be" in the investigation knew on May 31, 2005 that Natalee Holloway had not been dropped off at the Holiday Inn ... they knew that the Holiday Inn account was a fabrication  and ... yet they still detained the Security Guards on June 5, 2005.

KELLY:  Let me throw one more thing in on that Greta.  On May 31st, Joran was the first person interviewed by Jacobs when he's taking statements. Every police report subsequent to that, the statements made by Deepak, made by Satish, made by Beth that day, we have them all, there is no statement from Joran until June 9th.

Joran Van der Sloot
Suspect Statement
June 14, 2005


At approximately 12.30 (May 31, 2005) my dad and me had arrived at Bubali police station. I was interviewed as a witness. I cannot remember that in my statement I had said that I had been at Fisherman's Huts with Natalee. It might be possible that I stated that.  


Deepak Kalpoe
Witness Statement
May 31, 2005


On your question if Joran and the girl had stepped from my car at the Fisherman’s Huts and walked by the sea; I will answer you no.


Satish Kalpoe
Witness Statement
May 31, 2005


On your question if Joran and the girl had gotten out of the car at the Fisherman’s Huts and walked by the sea; I answer you no. Joran and the girl never got out of Deepak’s car.

I still say this post is right on the money.



A long time tour agent and friend was connected to Aruba.She told me that the 'bank there launders a ton of drug money' and that they use legitmate people to do it.
They seek out tour agents as well as 'officials'(like judges,etc.),etc.
She was approached, but quickly refused as she is a quality person.
Her contacts there 'all accepted' to her dismay and have made 'lots of money' for helping to deposit funds for the creepy scum bag "drug merchants" as they wish to be called.
Many in the gov.there are involved with money laundering and 'related financial activities.'

Is it any wonder they don't want all the publicity?
Just wonder if there is more than we are seeing here besides a missing 18 year old girl?
Why did the Dutch father come clear from Holland to become a very minor official in a no account island drug laundering oasis?
This is one thing the 'merchants' look for in approaching 'another helper.'
Did his son give the girl a narcotic in a drink?Did she fight back when sexually attacked on the beach?Gang rapes are common.They probably had a lot of 'loose girls',but this one was very Christian (she was)and resisted?Did he then kill her(he had been to anger managment classes,etc.- and struck an American tourist-the girl's father said the dutch father was 'very arrogrant'when he spoke to him-not a good sign of not knowning something-a cover of guilt) and in a panic called his wanna be judge father who knows the law?Did the other two scum bags flee and later agree to stick together as it was their buddy that killed her not them?

Thanks *******...I couldn't open the link, but she is not listed on their website either. Maybe Mom, Ernesto and Freddy are all together somewhere...

You can see from the post above that the poster said she was listed as 'Dutch'...that is what I wanted to see with my own eyes.

Joran said in his book that Freddy only speaks Pap and is from Venezuela. Well Ernesto did go the College there, doesn't mean much more than that to me...LOL

I am on my way out but, I was reading the Mathew's case at the European Court site that BT posted.  It talked about earlier Judicial rulings being sent to the Minister of Justice.  Does anyone know:

Do the judges in the Caribbean Court only recommend rulings to the Minister and he has the final say....or do the judges rulings stand on their own??

As far as the Van derSloot family issue....there was a time that we had pretty good confirmation that there were three VanderSloot tickets purchased on KLM from Holland, the Wednesday after Natalee disappeared.  If the two younger Sloots were not on board, then I believe looking at other Sloots would be warranted.  Not sure why you'd bring big guns to island when you're so sure your kid only dropped a girl at the HI (stated belief at the time).  I would like to know who the big family gun is...if there is one....or two.

TIA

I'll check later.

Aruba Tourism Authority Names New Advertising Agency, Lowe New York

No comments (RSS 2.0)
Ad Agency Review Results in Selection of New Firm Based in New York City with Clients Including, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Milk, XM Radio & More.

The Aruba Tourism Authority (ATA) has announced the appointment of a new advertising agency, Lowe New York.  The exciting news came February 8, when, after six months of searching for an advertising agency, ATA appointed Lowe New York to head up all of Aruba’s advertising in North America.  ATA began the government mandated advertising agency review in July 2007 with the assistance of 10 partners from the public and private sectors, and guidance from AAR Partners, a review specialist company.  AAR Partners is a third-party, industry-recognized consultant that provided counsel and expertise in the agency selection.  The process started with over 45 contending agencies and it was then narrowed to five exceptional firms from around the country.  After months of chemistry meetings, work sessions, conference calls and presentations, the much anticipated final decision was announced.  Lowe New York’s work with ATA officially starts April 1, 2008.

I don't believe it was ever determined who's vehicle it was or if it was official.  From the photos of the person in the vehicle, I would guess no.  I believe it was PVDS driving it.

I was watching a video of Mickey John's arrest and saw a similar vehicle. I also saw a video of PVDS and AVDS getting into a similar car. After looking again, I don't think either cars match exactly. Thanks, Klaas.

On the Record w/ Greta
Aruban Group Threatens to Sue Greta
Monday, March 17, 2008
FOXNEWS


This is a rush transcript from "On the Record ," March 14, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: Well, hold on to your seats. someone, actually a group, wants to sue me — sort of.

Well, get this: Just hours ago I got a letter from an American lawyer who represents the Aruba Hotel and Tourism association. In the letter, the association accuses me and other members of the media of slanderous statements about their Aruban tourism industry and the Natalee Holloway investigation, and they are threatening to bring legal proceedings if we don't stop our false and malicious rhetoric.

Huh? Let's see what the legal panel thinks of this letter. Joining us live in San Francisco, criminal defense attorney Michael Cardoza, and here in Washington, criminal defense attorneys Ted Williams and Bernie Grimm.

Ted, my first call, of course, is to my husband John Cole. He is going to be my lawyer. He has saved me on more than one occasion. But what am I going to do?

TED WILLIAMS, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: The first thing you need to do is file something against this ignorant, incompetent lawyer, who would send a letter — you cannot defame and sue a country. There is a lawyer should have a —

VAN SUSTEREN: He is suing me.

WILLIAMS: Even you, on behalf of this country? Get real.

VAN SUSTEREN: Can I tell you, my response to this, Ted, is "bring it on." Will you please sue me? Sue me right now? I will wave all requirements, because I want to get all of these people under oath and depositions, because I would love it.

WILLIAMS: This guy is stuck on stupid, and Bernie will take it from there.

BERNIE GRIMM, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: OK, thanks, Greta. Greta just hired me. That's 200 bucks I made.

Ted is right. I think, and Jim Hammer counseled me on this —

VAN SUSTEREN: He isn't here tonight.

GRIMM: Oh. Well, Jim's watching — that I am going to resign from the practice of law because I feel like an idiot that I even share the same membership of this guy.

VAN SUSTEREN: No, we want this guy to sue me. Michael Cardoza, can you make this guy sue me? Do you realize that if I get sued, I get to prove everything? I get to depose police. It is a field day.

MICHAEL CARDOZA, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: If you are sued, you can talk about it even more. This law suit is about as well thought out as their investigation was, or this threatened lawsuit.

How are they going to prove damages, number one? Damages cannot be speculative. I know tourism went —

VAN SUSTEREN: Wait — that is the best thing. Tourism, we found out today, is up eight percent. That is the second thing.

WILLIAMS: And it may now go down, because he is now refreshing the public memory that they could not find Natalee Holloway in Aruba, and so now he may have hurt tourism in that country by this idiotic letter.

CARDOZA: How do you prove proximate cause, too? How do you prove that your statements were the cause of what they say is tourism going down there?

VAN SUSTEREN: Whose side are you on? White a second. I want them to sue me. Do not tell them not to. I want them to.

WILLIAMS: Is this a real law firm? Where did they get their law license?

VAN SUSTEREN: I don't know, but think of the discovery —

CARDOZA: You know what I think?

VAN SUSTEREN: What?

CARDOZA: One thing I do now, that when things happen, like Aruba — people forget about them rather quickly. In a year or so, even if, assuming, which I doubt, tourism went down for them, people would be flooding back there.

Now everybody listening is probably saying, what are they doing? Now I am really not going to Aruba. So they themselves are driving tourism down because of this silliness.

VAN SUSTEREN: Bernie?

GRIMM: After reflection, I think there is actually a cause action, and they should sue you.

VAN SUSTEREN: Thank you, Bernie.

GRIMM: Greta has made some statement, and I think I have made statements as well that are false.

VAN SUSTEREN: I just asked the questions.

WILLIAMS: I have never called for a boycott of Aruba, but I can tell you —

VAN SUSTEREN: What a coward he is.

CARDOZA: This is one where the only ones that are going to make money are the lawyers involved.

WILLIAMS: But this lawyer should give the money back to his clients, because he is stealing money from them in this circumstance.

CARDOZA: And certainly do not mention the guys name and give him the credit of doing that.

VAN SUSTEREN: Bernie, what possesses a lawyer to send this?

GRIMM: It is something that possess nine out of ten lawyers, which is money.

WILLIAMS: Money.

GRIMM: And it is unfortunate because they make money by exploiting people and convincing them that they can win a case. It is sad.

VAN SUSTEREN: The other thing is that nothing is stated in here, nothing specific, nothing at all. What is it that we said? That they have not solved the case?

WILLIAMS: That there are idiots down there doing the investigation.

VAN SUSTEREN: Ted keeps saying horrible things.

GRIMM: FOX News appears to rely on false information, speculation, and reckless accusations. Hold up, here is the last part — Bernie Grimm is a very handsome.

CARDOZA: — intimidate FOX.

VAN SUSTEREN: But the thing is — I do not know. Maybe they did solve the case and we are wrong.

WILLIAMS: No. This is just idiotic incompetence — an incompetent attorney. Let's put it that way.

GRIMM: Ted, do you think that the Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association, what should they do about their legal fee?

WILLIAMS: Get it back quickly, or retain me to get it back for them.

VAN SUSTEREN: And John Cole, my husband, a very busy man if we get sued. We'll have fun.

Panel, thank you.

There was an interesting comparison of the disappearance of Natalee with one in Puerto Rico -
Quote

The Anhang murder case, however, illustrates the concerns over political and legal vulnerabilities in Puerto Rico.  The public perception is similar to that of Aruba following the Natalie Holloway murder on that island.  People are simply afraid to visit these locations if they fear there is little police protection.

Like the Holloway case, Adam's murder was plagued by "incompetence" from the very beginning when investigators seemingly failed to properly interrogate Anhang's wife.  There were also initial allegations that a lawyer for Rivera was also  "involved" with Vazquez.

I wonder if Aruba tourism has done any studies/surveys of tourists to find out what the perception of crime on Aruba is?  What the perception of police protection is?  How the the judicial system is perceived to function?  How tourists perceive the situation could be improved?

I read that the recent upswing in tourism has been attributed to an increase in tourists from the UK.  I wonder how these new tourists view the island?  Do they see the island as being more or less safe than other destinations?  Goa?

What do they tell their friends about their visit?

There was an interesting comparison of the disappearance of Natalee with one in Puerto Rico -

Thats all the Aruba officials and spokespeople have talked about is how safe there island is,from the very first Aruba interview until the last. If they don't say it publicly in every interview they lie about it on the records.

They are peddling there tourism everywhere,as they planned for a fallout of tourism from the U.S. They probably Marketed more in places like Venezuela,U.K and the rest of western Europe,where they know little about Natalee Holloway. Obviously they spend most of the Marketing budget here in the U.S,we saw with Greta they are trying to shut our media up so the American cattle doesnt continue to hear how evil the Aruban Govt really is.

For some reason they don't blame PJK2 for anything and they even seem to protect them Janet. Just seems to me that the Perps and the Aruban Govt are all on the same team :(  Hans Mos and AHATA seem to be leading the charge of blaming the American Media,the Family,the Fbi and even the Victims,anyone but the Pimps and the Failed Judge.

The number of elderly persons grows explosively  

ORANJESTAD – At the end of 2007, the number of elderly persons in Aruba was 104.494.  That is 1035 more than in 2006.  The number of babies and pre-schoolers in Aruba dropped since 2000 from 7028 to 6352 last year; a decrease with 9.6 percent.  The number of sixty-plusses increased with 38.2 percent in that same period.  These figures are from the Demographic Quarterly report of the Central Bureau for Statistics (CBS).   

In the late nineties, when the number of newborn babies was dropping steadily, it increased again for the first time with 1239 in 2007, of which 152 from mothers younger than 19, which is exactly the same as in 2006, when the number was 1227. 

56 Percent of the babies born last year were from single mothers.  The number of people that died in Aruba last year was 521, a little less than in 2006, when 537 people died.   

In Aruba, 48 percent of the population is male and 52 female.  This is partly because the number of female immigrants exceeds the male ones; 51.9 percent is female.  2159 New immigrants were registered in 2007, 638 from Aruba and the Neth.Antilles, 465 from the Netherlands, and 839 from elsewhere.  143 People with the Dutch nationally but born in another country came to Aruba.

Last year, 1839 people emigrated, of which 68.8 percent to the Netherlands.  There were 1013 marriages in 2007; this was 1006 in 2006.  417 Divorces were registered in 2007, compared to 531 in 2006.

Yup they are getting more cheap older Americans and Dutch retiring and getting away from the winter. They also get a lot of time share owners and cheap ignorant Americans. Bottom line is these people aren't spending anywhere near what the Tourists did in 2005,who didn't use coupons with everything  ::MonkeyWink::

I have to wonder how many incidents brought JVDS to the attention of authorities prior to his eighteenth birthday?  I've only seen hints at some things, but I know little about who handled the cases, who made the decisions, and if he received special considerations.

I have to wonder if others in his circle of friends received considerations that were not the norm?  At what point does he become just an average citizen?

Who do the police protect on Aruba? 

Who decides?  Prosecutors and judges? 

Who advocates for the tourists?

What happens when the next missing tourist is a young British girl?

I'm fairly certain those are pictures of the protest and I doubt Joran would be there, LOL.  In any case, this is the person you were thinking looked like him.  He does resemble Joran a bit.

I understand what you are saying but the names are already on the internet.  I can delete the names and leave the link.


Klaas,

The genealogy information and van der Sloot names which have been given are over 200 years old.  The names were obtained from a van der Sloot relative who had posted them on the Internet, thus making the genealogy information public.  Documents in excess of 75 years, which include census pages and government documents, are public information.

http://www.amigoe.com/artman/publish/artikel_40685.php

now i am reading about this former MOJ Hendrik Croes arrested for a hit and run.

http://www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/article514116.ece/Oud-minister_Aruba_vast_om_aanrijden_agent
http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/3578572/_Rel_rond_oud-minister_Aruba__.html

i still don't have this MOJ and Croes family history clear.

Hendrik Croes is a brother of Betico Croes and a nephew of Rudy Croes. all are MEP.
but not directly related to Tico Croes (AVP).

i thought Rudy Croes was always the MOJ when the MEP was in power.
apparently not.
but Rudy Croes was MOJ before 1995. or my source is wrong and that has to be Hendrik Croes.
that would explain some dark stuff i had about Rudy.
there is a lot of dark stuff about Hendrik Croes. links with italian mafia alleged.
the dutch didn't want Hendrik croes as MOJ so the MEP went for Rudy.
not that the dutch have anything to say about that officially... but maybe there was a deal concerning financial aid or loans or debt relief.

so difficult to get information about this. just a biography on Rudy Croes i want.
i tried to contact Aruba. was brought in contact with cabinet secretary Peter Davidse but they keep me in the dark.
they want to know why i want to know things - but i don't see why that's relevant i tell them.

but anyway it is very messy.

Hendrik Croes drove into that striking police man. then he went to the airport to go on holiday.
but then richardson went to the airport to get a statement from him and he decided not to travel.

police union got angry why he wasn't arrested.
and now the got him arrested and put him in KIA.
who is in control there?

Mos is mad now. and Peter de Witte (head of police - is he dutch??) is mad too.

Mos: "everybody should keep their heads cool, else it will be a disaster for Aruba.  it is very bad to have police unions demand arrests and threaten strike. only the OM decides who gets arrested".


OMG. knowing how Rudy Croes works he must be very much involved in this prosecutions / investigation of his nephew Hendrik Croes. i also read he is a brother of Rudy Croes. but i read more that he is a nephew of Rudy and a brother of Betico Croes - the founding father of Aruba.

I am on my way out but, I was reading the Mathew's case at the European Court site that BT posted.  It talked about earlier Judicial rulings being sent to the Minister of Justice.  Does anyone know:

Do the judges in the Caribbean Court only recommend rulings to the Minister and he has the final say....or do the judges rulings stand on their own??

As far as the Van derSloot family issue....there was a time that we had pretty good confirmation that there were three VanderSloot tickets purchased on KLM from Holland, the Wednesday after Natalee disappeared.  If the two younger Sloots were not on board, then I believe looking at other Sloots would be warranted.  Not sure why you'd bring big guns to island when you're so sure your kid only dropped a girl at the HI (stated belief at the time).  I would like to know who the big family gun is...if there is one....or two.

TIA

I'll check later.


I once read that Paulass has three brothers.  One named Ko is a professor/scientist at the university in Tilburg, one is named Hans, and one is named Marcos.  Marcos supposedly has an influential government position in the Netherlands.

Is it really necessary to put names of familymembers on the Internet. ::MonkeyNoNo::

I understand what you are saying but the names are already on the internet.  I can delete the names and leave the link.


Klaas,

The genealogy information and van der Sloot names which have been given are over 200 years old.  The names were obtained from a van der Sloot relative who had posted them on the Internet, thus making the genealogy information public.  Documents in excess of 75 years, which include census pages and government documents, are public information.

Hi SS

There were two different links posted.  One was the genealogy information with the ancestors and the other was a court case in the NL with current living Sloot's.  It was the court case link that they objected to.  I deleted the actual names from the post but I left the link to those names.

Rudy, magnanimous guy that he is, has let it be known that he is willing to settle for the Ministry of Tourism, on the condition that his brother, Hendrik Croes, becomes Minister of Justice.

Hendrik Croes.

Excuse me while I have a good laugh.

See, if there is one corrupt person on this island, it's Hendrik Croes. The Netherlands is never going to accept Hendrik Croes. The thing is, that Rudy Croes surely must be savvy enough to know this, so I'm wondering if he's forcing a showdown between MEP and the rest of the people who are loyal to MEP because of Betico Croes (founder and revered late leader of MEP). As Nel said: 11 (majority) - 1 (Rudy?) = 0 (no majority)

Hendrik Croes – a brother of the island's legendary leader, the late Betico Croes who guided Aruba to its semi-independent status in the Dutch realm – is one of the leading political figures on the island. He led several election campaigns for the MEP, now in the opposition. The Croes Family has been accused of ties with Cuntrera-Caruana. The Sicilian mafiosi payed for a trip of another brother, Rudy Croes (who succeeded Hendrik as Minister of Justice in a previous MEP government) as party secretary to a meeting of the Socialist International in Turkey. This has not been denied.

I have a question that has been in the back of my mind all day.  I recall reading that one of the infamous three claimed that Koen had been at Urine's house earlier on the evening of May 29th.  Does anyone else remember reading this in the volumes of statements that were given?    ::MonkeyConfused::  It continues to bother me that Koen's family sold the boat so fast and moved.  Could it be that when the Kalpoes went by Urine's house (but didn't go in  ::MonkeyNoNo::) on the way to see the sharks, that Koen was still there in the apartment?  Perhaps Paulass had both the boat and the help of another father in taking Natalee to the ocean.

I think Kendrink,Rudy and Hendrick are all brothers. Hendrick was the MOJ before Rudy and Rudy is on record demanding if he isn't the MOJ then Hendrick should be.



yes i read that that also now from a more trusted source:
http://antilliaans.caribiana.nl/aruba/ca20060110_statusviering.html
so those three are brothers. betico the oldest then hendrik, then rudy.
but hendrik is more mentioned as brother of betico - and rudy as brother of hendrik.
but this of course implies betico and rudy as brothers too. but that's less mentioned (or at least half-brothers).

what i read about hendrik is that he is gay-hater. not a very good one for a MOJ.
in dutch articles i read worse things how he compares gays with animals and pedo's.
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/08/082105Aruba.htm

but what years was Hendrik was MOJ? during Oduber I (89-93) and then Oduber II (93-94) Rudy as MOJ and Oduber IV,V 2001-now Rudy again?
very sparsly documented online.
understandable from the Croes / MEP side to keep it shady.

from this highly interesting article from 1997 (has this been posted before on SM??) which i haven't read fully yet Hendrik must have been MOJ in Oduber I.
then i wonder why did Oduber I fall...

rulings by judges should for sure stand on their own. justice minister has nothing to say about that.
of course that's how it should be.
MOJ through procureur generaal can let OM appeal of course at a higher court.
highest court is in The Hague. highest court can't rule themselves or sentence. this court can only revert back to lower court (Willemstad in the case of Aruba/Antilles) only if all procedures weren't followed correctly. in that case there is a re-trial.

NANCY GRACE
February 15, 2008


HUGHES: I`m Holly Hughes in tonight for Nancy Grace. We are discussing the fact that today an Aruban court of appeals handed down a decision saying that Joran van der Sloot cannot -- yes, you heard me, cannot be rearrested in the case of Natalee Holloway. This is outrageous. I cannot believe that this young man confessed on videotape in gritty detail, and yet the court of appeal says, oh well, you know, we`re not going to let you rearrest him. Let`s find out what`s going on. I want to go straight out to Tracy Sabo, who is a CNN senior producer.

Tracy, what in the world does the court of appeals base this decision on?

TRACY SABO, CNN SR. PRODUCER: Well, the court of appeals said today that the entire argument lacked any sufficient evidence to corroborate the prosecutor`s allegations that van der Sloot was actually involved in Natalee`s death. And he based that decision on what he said was contradictory statements, primarily by Joran van der Sloot which were not able to be sustained by any further investigative material.

They did look at all of the video, they listened to all of the audio and they came back and said the bar is very high. This is a suspect who has already been in pretrial detention multiple times already. And it didn`t reach that level, in their opinion.

HUGHES: Unbelievable. Now they listened to the video, right? They heard what was on that tape, is that correct, Tracy?

SABO: Yes, they not only heard what we`ve been reporting and what the Dutch television show has been reporting, but in theory, many other hours of investigative material that was recorded by De Vries and his team there in the Netherlands.

HUGHES: OK, I want our viewers to be able to hear exactly what he says on those tapes. Can we roll that, please?

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): How were you so sure she was dead, Joran? You can`t. You know, people can also go into comas.

JORAN VAN DER SLOOT (through translator): Yes, I wasn`t sure about that, but it really scared me to death.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): No, but I understand that. I definitely understand that, that you were scared. Did you really prod her and stuff?

VAN DER SLOOT (through translator): No, no, but it didn`t look good.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): How didn`t it look good, then?

VAN DER SLOOT (through translator): Just, you know, she`d been shaking and stuff.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): What, really shaking?

VAN DER SLOOT (through translator): Yes, I don`t know, yes, pretty much.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): I`m asking you. How were you so (expletive deleted) she was dead, man?

VAN DER SLOOT (through translator): I wasn`t sure.  

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): This guy really knows what he is doing. Did he weigh her down to make her sink?

VAN DER SLOOT (through translator): No, no, I don`t think so.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): You don`t even know that?

VAN DER SLOOT (through translator): No.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): Did he ever tell you how he did it?

VAN DER SLOOT (through translator): Of course, he did.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): How did he do it, then?

VAN DER SLOOT (through translator): He just went out into the sea further and he just dumped her.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): He just threw her overboard just like that? You`ve been really lucky, you know? No (expletive deleted) you`ve really been lucky.

VAN DER SLOOT (through translator): That`s what I say, I`ve been very lucky.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): Really lucky that he has been so stupid to do this, you know.

VAN DER SLOOT (through translator): I was even able to sleep that night. I just went home and went to bed.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

HUGHES: That`s video from ABC`s "20/20" of the Joran van der Sloot, emotionless about 18-year-old Natalee Holloway likely dumped at sea. Now as outraged as I am, and furious, as I`m sure you all are, I want to go to a man whose heart is breaking over this.

Jug Twitty, tell me your reaction when you hear this.

JUG TWITTY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY`S STEPFATHER: Well, Holly, I`ll tell you, it`s very disappointing. But it doesn`t surprise me. I`ll tell you what really made me sick today to be honest with you is to see his U.S. attorney, Joe Tacopina, whoever, who has been kind of hiding for the last week because he didn`t know what was going to happen all of a sudden come on and he`s all over the TV now. And he is just saying, you know, with a smirk on his face, which just it makes me sick.

But, yes, ,hey I told you so, nothing was going to happen. When he knows Joran is a time bomb just waiting to -- you know, to blow up. He`s - - I know there are a lot of people, me included, that think the world would be a lot better off without Joran in it.

HUGHES: Well, Jug, let me ask you this, do you think that Joran van der Sloot will ever be arrested and brought to trial in Natalee`s case?

TWITTY: I`d like to hope that he would, but I doubt it. You know, I pray every night that something will happen, somebody will say something. But to be honest, Holly, there`s so many people involved in this, it was a huge cover-up from the beginning. And there are so many people protecting him that I don`t know if they`d ever bring him to trial. I just know that he has to live with it. He`ll be the one that`s looking over his shoulder the rest of his life. So we`ll see.

HUGHES: OK. Well, Jug, let me ask you this. What do you do next? I mean, what do you and Beth do next?

TWITTY: Well, I`ll tell you, Holly, one thing, you know, Beth -- and of course it`s heartbreaking for her too, I know. And -- but Beth has a ton of speaking engagements. You know, she travels across the country. And she`ll continue to do that. And I hate it for the Aruban people because they`re going to hear this every time she speaks to the high schools and the colleges in the civic organizations out there. It`s just going to be, you know, over and over again what happened down there.

And I just wish that they would step up, the Aruban government would try to give us an answer and put this thing to bed.

HUGHES: Well, Jug, my heart goes out to you and your family. I`m so sorry for this tragedy. You mentioned a little earlier that you think this has been a cover-up and a conspiracy from the very beginning. Can you just let our viewers know a couple of examples that makes you feel that way?

TWITTY: Well, I mean, I`ve said it several times, you know, to go over it again, but in the beginning, you know, they ask us questions about the epilepsy and everything, which you wouldn`t normally ask somebody that right out of the chute. So they knew like the second night that she probably wasn`t alive.

And then, just like all the stuff like when all the people that were there, all the people that came with me to help, they never even questioned us for two weeks. If they wanted an answer, they could have got a lot of the answers about the deal about the 4:00 in the morning when he said he picked him up at McDonald`s. There were a lot of those answers there that they could have had if they wanted them. And just I think they got in it early to, you know, cover up, and they just had to cover their tracks all the way through.

HUGHES: OK. Jug, thank you so much for being with us tonight.

The struggle for Status Aparte

MEP and Betico Croes

Snip

It was decided that Aruba would become independent from the Netherlands as of January 1996 with a transition phase of ten years, beginning on January 1st, 1986, in which the island would function as a country – separated from the Antilles – within the Kingdom of the Netherlands (‘Status Aparte’). Betico accepted the conditions of independence after ten years of Status Aparte because the most important issue for Aruba had been realized and because he could not return home empty-handed in view of the forthcoming elections.

The evening before the day the Status Aparte took effect, on December 31, 1985, MEP-leader Betico Croes was seriously wounded in a traffic accident. He got into a coma, so he did not witness the moment that the Status Aparte took effect and passed away, without ever having regained consciousness, in November of 1986

Who Was the Real St. Patrick?

There are many legends and traditions associated with St. Patrick's Day. Who was the real St. Patrick?

St. Patrick was not actually Irish. he was born around 373 A.D. in the British Isles near the modern city of Dumbarton in Scotland. His real name was Maewyn Succat. He took the name of Patrick, or Patricius, meaning "well-born" in Latin, after he became a priest.

During Patrick's boyhood, the Roman empire was near collapse and too weak to defend its holdings in distant lands. Britain became easy prey for raiders, including those who crossed the Irish sea from the land known as Hibernia or Ireland. When Patrick was sixteen, he was seized by raiders and carried off to Ireland.

Most of what is known about St. Patrick comes from his own Confession, written in his old age. In his Confession he wrote about his capture:

As a youth, nay, almost as a boy not able to speak, I was taken captive ... I was like a stone lying in the deep mire; and He that is mighty came and in His mercy lifted me up, and raised me aloft ... And therefore I ought to cry out aloud and so also render something to the Lord for His great benefits here and in eternity -- benefits which the mind of men is unable to appraise.

After Patrick was captured and taken to Ireland as a slave by an Irish chieftain named Niall, he was sold to another chieftain in northern Ireland. Much of Patrick's time was spend alone on the slopes of Slemish Mountain, tending his master's flocks of sheep. During the long, lonely hours in the fields and hills of Ireland, Patrick found comfort in praying. In his Confession he wrote:

... every day I had to tend sheep, and many times a day I prayed -- the love of God and His fear came to me more and more, and my faith was strengthened. And my spirit was moved so that in a single day I would say as many as a hundred prayers and almost as many in the night, and this even when I was staying in the woods and on the mountains; ... and I felt no harm, and there was no sloth in me -- as now I see, because the spirit within me was fervent.

Six years passed slowly by. Then in a dream, Patrick heard a voice saying, "Thy ship is ready for thee." This was God's way, he felt, of telling him to run away.

That night he fled. Assured God was leading him, Patrick plunged through the bogs and scaled the mountains which separated him from the sea. He escaped Ireland by ship, but God would call him back years later. Patrick had escaped his boyhood enslavement in Ireland only to hear the call of God as a man to return. He was being called on, he felt, to convert the Irish to Christianity. In his Confession Patrick wrote:

I saw a man named Victoricus, coming from Ireland with countless letters. He game me one of them and I read the opening words which were: The voice of the Irish ... I thought at the same moment I heard their voice: 'We beg you, young man, come and walk among us once more.'

And I was quite broken in heart, and could read no further, and so I woke up. Thanks be to God, after many years the Lord gave to them according to their cry.

... they call me most unmistakably with words which I heard but could not understand, except that ... He spoke thus: 'He that has laid down His life for thee, it is He that speaketh in thee;' and so I awoke full of joy.

When Patrick began his mission about 430 A.D., Ireland was gripped by paganism, Idolatry prevailed and the Irish knew nothing of Jesus. Patrick decided to go first to the pagan chieftain or king who had enslaved him as a boy. Rather than be put to shame by a former slave, the king set fire to his house and threw himself into the flames.

Patrick then set out for Tara, the seat of the high king of Ireland. When Patrick arrived, Tara was filled with many local kings and druids who were attending the pagan feast of Beltine which coincided with Easter that year. Patrick encamped in the full view of the castle to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.

On the eve of the festival it was the custom, upon penalty of death, that the high king should light the first bonfire before any others in the land. Patrick, however, had kindled a great fire which gleamed through the darkness. Patrick was summoned before the king. The confrontation which followed is as amazing as Elijah's victory over the prophets of Baal.

Patrick stood and called, May God arise and His enemies be scattered. Darkness fell on the camp. Confused guards began to attack one another. The ground shook and the next day, Easter, a broken king knelt before God's servant. This confrontation between Patrick's God and demonic forces marked the beginning of a thirty-year mission to Ireland.

Patrick traveled the roads and forded the rivers of Ireland for 30 years to see men and women "reborn in God' and come to know the Christ he loved so much. Patrick wrote in his Confession:

We ought to fish well and diligently, as our Lord exhorts. Hence, we spread our nets so that a great multitude and throng might be caught for God.

By the time of his death, Patrick had baptized tens of thousands and established hundreds of churches throughout Ireland. Danger and hardship remained his constant companions. Twice he was imprisoned, but he was not discouraged. He wrote in his Confession:

Daily I expect murder, fraud, or captivity, but I fear none of these things because of the promises of heaven. I have cast myself into the hands of God Almighty who rules everywhere.

Within a century this once pagan land became predominately Christian, possessing such a vigorous faith that Ireland in turn sent missionaries to Scotland, England, Germany and Belgium.

As an old man, Patrick looked back in awe:

Those who never had knowledge of God but worshipped idols ... have now become ... sons of God.

The old saint died in his beloved Ireland on March 17th, 460 A.D. The land that once enslaved him, had now been set free.

Note: One of the most popular legends attributed to Patrick is that he used the shamrock as a visual aid to teach the principle of the Trinity. This story cannot be verified. However, from his writings it is evident the doctrine of the Trinity was central in his teaching.

The struggle for Status Aparte

MEP and Betico Croes

Snip

It was decided that Aruba would become independent from the Netherlands as of January 1996 with a transition phase of ten years, beginning on January 1st, 1986, in which the island would function as a country – separated from the Antilles – within the Kingdom of the Netherlands (‘Status Aparte’). Betico accepted the conditions of independence after ten years of Status Aparte because the most important issue for Aruba had been realized and because he could not return home empty-handed in view of the forthcoming elections.

The evening before the day the Status Aparte took effect, on December 31, 1985, MEP-leader Betico Croes was seriously wounded in a traffic accident. He got into a coma, so he did not witness the moment that the Status Aparte took effect and passed away, without ever having regained consciousness, in November of 1986

http://www.historiadiaruba.aw/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=37&lang=en

earlier we were quoting from the same mafia article from where i understood Hendrik must have been MOJ in Oduber I.  ::MonkeyWink::

but yes, betico brains died (coma) the day before the status aparte went into effect.
but the first aruban government strangely? wasn't MEP, but AVP (with PM Henny Eman).
the grandfather of Henny and Mike Eman is also 'a founding father'. before 1950s aruba was ruled from curaçao.
then antilles became a country whitin the kingdom.

so MEP is the Croes-clan and AVP the Eman-clan.
but then there is Tico and Mito Croes in the AVP  ::MonkeyHaHa::

there is also this article, same writer as "The Rothschilds of the Mafia on Aruba", i am going to read this too:
http://www.tni.org/detail_page.phtml?page=archives_tblick_parool
Parool is a Amsterdam newspaper.

titles says: Aruban minister tells half the truth about drugs mafia
but now this minister plenipotentiary is Mito Croes (AVP)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minister_Plenipotentiary_of_Aruba
current minister plenipotentiary is Fido Croes (MEP)

yes, that was last week. put Mos is going to appeal. "but not because of pressure from Rudy Croes".
i wonder for how long Hendrik Croes will stay in KIA. and who brings him his phone.
for 48 hours and then the judge has to decide if it the detainment will be extended.
by the way Hendrik Croes is also mad at Henny Eman.
Henny Eman swore at Hendrik, for Hendrik's role in the Fondo Desaroyo Nobo-corruption-scandal.

Hendrik Croes is currently lawyer for the government in the case against the striking state workers (including the police).
and then he plans a holiday right in the middle of a strike????? who believes that?

but also the police man (Edgar Maduro), did he see Hendrik Croes in the car and just jumped in front of the car?
he said he opened the door of the car 'to not fall over after he got hit by the car' - how does that work?
car must have gone very slow then.
the hospital released him but later he went to hospital again. for better 'effect'.?

then Miguel Maduro (related to Edgar?) starts protesting why Hendrik Croes isn't arrested.

and the Landsrecherche (i suppose this more like the state police) arrested him.
Edward Croes (son of Hendrik Croes) started a preliminary injunction againt the arrest.

so altogether a lot of turmoil. not very nice for the Aruban public at all... luxury goods are already running out because of the strike actions by the customs.
but i hope it gets more reported by the dutch media.
because exposure of Hans Mos is a good thing. because all dutchies will recognise Mos from the Peter R. de Vries program.
and as soon as the link between Rudy and Hendrik and maybe even the AVP-corruption scandal is made.
then maybe people will understand why justice on Aruba is not such a usual thing.

BE SAFE Beth Holloway speaks at Green High School about the disappearance of her daughter Natalee, shown behind her on the big screen.
REPOSITORY SCOTT HECKEL

 


BY ANN-MARGARET LAMBO
REPOSITORY CORRESPONDENT

GREEN Beth Holloway is a woman on a mission.

And it's to save your kids.

The mother of Natalee Holloway returned to Green High School on Monday night to convey a message of hope, faith and personal safety, born out of the tragic disappearance of her daughter during a trip to Aruba. Her appearance was sponsored, in part, by the Green Schools Foundation, the Summit County Sheriff's Department and Green City Council.

"What you need to remember as I talk with you is that any one of your children could be Natalee, and that I could be any one of you," Holloway said, in a steady, quiet voice.

In the darkened Green High School auditorium, with a single, glowing spotlight on the podium where she stood, Holloway told the story of her daughter, Natalee.

The young woman, a recent high school graduate, was an excellent student and, at the time of her disappearance, was preparing to attend the University of Alabama on an academic scholarship. A petite blonde with a passion for dance, Natalee hoped to one day attend medical school. Her destiny, and that of her mother's, changed on May 30, 2005, when Natalee was last seen while on a senior trip with 130 of her classmates. Her body has never been found.

It was her daughter's disappearance and her experiences in Aruba that turned Holloway into a safe travel advocate.

She travels the country educating parents and children about the importance of planning the safety part of the trip just as one would plan any other portion of a getaway.

Holloway had a number of suggestions to protect travelers of all ages, whether their excursions are in this country or abroad. She reminded those in attendance about the basic rules of travel — never leave the main group, never go anywhere alone, don't leave a beverage unattended, don't leave anyone in charge of a beverage, and never get stuck in a situation or condition that eliminates free will.

"Activate international calling for your cell phone," Holloway said. "Natalee didn't have international calling on her cell phone, and that weighs heavily on my heart. This is the first thing that international travelers should do."

Holloway also suggested that travelers educate themselves about their destination. Find out where the U.S. embassy is located, familiarize yourself with the country's legal system, locate the police department before traveling. And take these numbers and addresses on the trip.

At the end of her presentation, Holloway's message for the parents and grandparents in attendance was simple.

"Your sons and daughters need to be reminded that their personal safety is up to them, no matter where they go," Holloway said. "It's too late for Natalee. And it's too late for me. But it is not too late for you and your children."

Holloway recently established the International Safe Travels Foundation which prepares Auburn University students for traveling abroad. For more information on the foundation, go to: www.safetravelsfoundation.org.

No, that's not what I was going to say. But the familymembers  of VdS did not open the can of worms either. They can't help it.

Would you like it, if you were part of the family of VdS to be dragged through the Internet?

Then get your pipe and hat out Sherlock and get us what we want.  It is too late to cry for people who could have given that woman her daughter back three years ago.  You all know what we want and if THEY think we are going to feel sorry for them at this point and time, forget it.  It has gone too far. NH's family and loved ones and friends have gone through 3 years of hell and Aruba will not be forgotten for it.  Aruba cannot be forgiven until she asks forgiveness and that will start by giving the US her citizen back and by an INTERNATIONAL apology and humbling yourselves before those they have wronged.  God does not even forgive unless you ask him too.  How would you like your family member to go missing and have 80 plus thousand people against one familyf?  Now that about evens the score with having America against the 80 plus thousand or so.  Not all of us, perhaps, but the people in other countries will more than make up for it.  We do NOT like what Aruba did to that girl and her family.  At least their family members are alive to protest our using their names.  Natalee is not.  So get your Sherlock Holms gear on or put this message in your collective pipes and smoke it.

No attack intended, as I said, just fed up with those people and their dollar signs they have instead of hearts or souls.

Yes, the Mormons have a great database. Info only good as those who submit lineage, or those two guys on the bikes have time to find. There are others.

Perhaps, to find more fruit, one might need to seek another family tree.

Maybe shake the tree of a retired ex-polis and see what kinda flavour falls out.

I am on my way out but, I was reading the Mathew's case at the European Court site that BT posted.  It talked about earlier Judicial rulings being sent to the Minister of Justice.  Does anyone know:

Do the judges in the Caribbean Court only recommend rulings to the Minister and he has the final say....or do the judges rulings stand on their own??

As far as the Van derSloot family issue....there was a time that we had pretty good confirmation that there were three VanderSloot tickets purchased on KLM from Holland, the Wednesday after Natalee disappeared.  If the two younger Sloots were not on board, then I believe looking at other Sloots would be warranted.  Not sure why you'd bring big guns to island when you're so sure your kid only dropped a girl at the HI (stated belief at the time).  I would like to know who the big family gun is...if there is one....or two.

TIA

I'll check later.

rulings by judges should for sure stand on their own. justice minister has nothing to say about that.
of course that's how it should be.
MOJ through procureur generaal can let OM appeal of course at a higher court.
highest court is in The Hague. highest court can't rule themselves or sentence. this court can only revert back to lower court (Willemstad in the case of Aruba/Antilles) only if all procedures weren't followed correctly. in that case there is a re-trial.
 

That white haired, heavy-set dude looks to be the "rock painter" that always is just out of reach of being seen clearly.  j/b

The United States administration does not get involved. 

The United States administration remains silent while an American citizen has been denied justice by a corrupt investigation for almost three years.

Those who rule the tiny island of Aruba have no fear of retiliation by what was perceived as the greatest democracy on the face of the earth.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

I still say this post is right on the money.

A long time tour agent and friend was connected to Aruba. She told me that the 'bank there launders a ton of drug money' and that they use legitmate people to do it.

They seek out tour agents as well as 'officials' (like judges,etc)

She was approached, but quickly refused as she is a quality person.

Her contacts there 'all accepted' to her dismay and have made 'lots of money' for helping to deposit funds for the creepy scum bag "drug merchants" as they wish to be called.

Many in the gov there are involved with money laundering and 'related financial activities.

posts from august 2005 in SM's theory/speculation forum:

Peeps: Some people on this forum are sooooooooooo friggin Ignorant, it's unbelievable. It's like they don't know anything around the world. They have no clue about why certain things go the way they go over here and don't want to understand either. That's the main problem on this forum. Guys that's the way we do it over here. It's a different law system, understand it. Don't rebel against, accept it. I wonder if it's this type of arrogance and ignorance that so hated about some americans in the world. Expand your mind with real things instead of reading Shango BS that goes nowhere.

new girl: I understand your frustration, Peeps. But our frustration isn't much different than yours. We know we have no clue why things have gone the way they have over there. We are begging to understand.

eleye: let me tell you why ... because a criminal element is present and puts big money into their economy ... exposing that means ruining that island and that's why the aruban people are mad, scared or indifferent. this case exposes the belly of the beast and they are getting nervous that an island that runs on tourism and crime, will crumble.

Peeps: You are 15 years late. You know who the belly were?

There were even some White Citations with bald eagle encriptions on them. Who can that be. Everybody gained from the small washing machine with white beaches.

******* and caesu…Thank you for clearing this up. I have always thought that they were brothers and asked a couple of times for clarification when it has been posted otherwise.

I have posted as well as to what power does Rudy have when in 2005 he did not have enough votes to hold the position of Minister of Justice, and stated he would take the Tourism job, if Hendrick could be the Justice Minister. It didn’t happen and Rudy stayed on as Justice Minister. Not enough votes and still keeps his job! Any thoughts?

http://arubagirl.typepad.com/lost_in_smallness/2005/10/index.html

Rudy, magnanimous guy that he is, has let it be known that he is willing to settle for the Ministry of Tourism, on the condition that his brother, Hendrik Croes, becomes Minister of Justice.

http://www.historiadiaruba.aw/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=40&lang=en

Relations with the Netherlands remained strained all along the Oduber administration period. Justice minister Rudy Croes' shifty immigration policy raised eyebrows in The Hague and the quarrel between Oduber and the Dutch government about the right to proceeds of the selling of the Plant Hotel real estate (the current Marriott), keeps going on for years.
++++

Betico
I have seen this before about whether it was an accident or not.

http://www.answers.com/topic/betico-croes
Gilberto François "Betico" Croes (b. 1938 d. 1986) was an Aruban political activist who was a proponent of Aruba's separation from the rest of the Netherlands Antilles. This eventually occurred, but Croes lapsed into a coma after an accident on 31 December 1985 (the night of status aparte) and was never conscious to see his accomplishment. He's called the father of the Aruban nation.
The accident he suffered were questioned by many for years since a car was seen leaving the area after the accident. This conspiracy theory was never proven.
++++

Holland countered this by threatening to grant complete independence to all the six Antillean islands, which nobody in the Antilles wanted. Worn down, however, by Betico Croes, the George Washington of Aruba, they agreed to Status Aparte. In 1986, it was granted. The assets of Aruba and the other Antillean islands were divided 30-70. In one of history’s crueler twists, Betico Croes, who did so much to achieve all this, had a terrible car crash just before the ceremonies, and died eleven months later. His name is still invoked to illustrate the best of the Aruban spirit.

Peter de Witte has been named the new Police Chief of Aruba following the departure of Ronny Bernadina. Peter de Witte is the acting Director of the Coast Guard for the Netherland Antilles and Aruba.

Dan Gross: Greta Van Susteren rips Bochetto warning on Aruba tourism
 By Dan Gross

Philadelphia Daily News

LOCAL ATTORNEY George Bochetto sent a letter to Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren and other cable-news programs on behalf of the Aruba Hotel and Tourist Association, threatening to bring legal action against them because of what the letter called "recent attacks and slanderous statements being made about the tourism industry in Aruba and the Natalee Holloway investigation."
Van Susteren mocked the letter on her program Friday night, begging Bochetto to sue her. "Bring it on," she said, adding: "I will waive all requirements, because I want to get all of these people under oath and depositions."

Other panelists on the show, including attorneys Bernie Grimm and Ted Williams, also ridiculed Bochetto's letter.

Local guy John Pauly, a former TV producer/reporter, is the media adviser to the Aruba chief prosecutor's office. He says Van Susteren "completely distorted the letter to make herself look macho," and once again distorted the story, which is "the very thing the letter was trying to remedy."

Is it really necessary to put names of familymembers on the Internet. ::MonkeyNoNo::

I dunt kneeew since the slooticuses claimed Beth was decended from the Hitler crowd.
Wouldn't you say THEY opened the can of worms?   JackB

No, that's not what I was going to say. But the familymembers  of VdS did not open the can of worms either. They can't help it.

Would you like it, if you were part of the family of VdS to be dragged through the Internet?


Beth's daughter and the rest of the family never did anything either.  American's nuke.  We don't play around.  This is no game and even their priest is not above looking into.  God help us, someone is going to pay for killing that girl.  She represents to some of us America and we do not like to go missing, be messed with, slandered, or shat upon.  We got more of the stuff, more people, more brains and God, so don't mess with one or you mess with all.  Natalee just happened to go missing and by luck of the draw and by the pitifulness and aloneness of her mother who appealed to me to help her as best I can.  I am not alone in my thinking.  Now is anyone wants to know WHY Natalee.  Why US--there you have it.  No color, no richness, just luck of the draw.  God saw fit for some reason for us to assist, maybe because no one else has had the committment down there, or it seems are stalling here in the US for some reason, maybe security reasons.  BUT SOMEONE is going to give us answers or we will NEVER leave it alone.  It will not get better.  It will get worse.  Jackb

katrien,
  For what it's worth here.Jackb does not speak for all Americans and I am one of those.With that being said,for you to ask if it necessary  to have the VDS names posted on the internet,my answer is yes.Pressure is pressure and it will be applied in any shape way or form we can apply it to get justice for Natalee.We being the one's that are carrying this burden will bring anything we can to the forefront if it will help us achieve our common goal to see that justice is indeed done.Sometimes it is family members that finally get mad enough to do something and help.If any of the Sloot family members have nothing to hide,they shouldn't be worried about what could be found out about them on the internet.I don't believe we Americans as Jackb stated,"We got more of the stuff, more people, more brains and God" is anywhere close to the truth.God is not a respecter of persons and rather folks want to believe it or not,the Christians know that He(God) loves everyone the same and desires them to come to Him.I am no more important in His eyes than Yoran,Paulas,Kalpoe's,etc...To say Americans have God is implying we are the only one's that do and that is false.Christians are in all nationalities and worldwide..We here on this forum have one desire and that is to see that justice for Natalee is sought after using every tool at our disposal.If not us katrien,then who? Our government is not going to nuke any country over the disappearance of a girl on holiday,in fact,it seems they are doing nothing at all which is why this forum is so badly needed.We are a collection of souls here that are burdened about this case and that is why we are so dedicated in our searching for the truth.Please try to understand this way of thinking.Not every American feels the way we do here even though we would like to think that is true.There are many that could careless in fact.I know a few of them,however,like I said,God brought the souls here to carry the burden and be the voice for Natalee.There is always a remnant and the ones that cry for justice are that remnant of people.We are those...

Definition of remnant-leftover: a small part or portion that remains after the main part no longer exists.

Because we are the remnant,Jackb is right,we will never leave it alone.Justice must be served and one way or another,it will be.God promises that.Every man will stand accountable one day at the day of judgement and will give answer for everything,even every idle word spoken..I hope you understand alittle better now Katrien as I have enjoyed you on this forum and hope you will continue in our efforts to see to it that our only objective is to get that justice for Natalee Holloway..God Bless you...

I believe there should be limits to what a person can / should say and do online & 'in the real world'. I think everyone has certain rights and some kind of privacy is one of them. There is such a thing as crossing a line; and it's difficult where that line is sometimes but I'm with you on this one Katrien.

I have a question that has been in the back of my mind all day.  I recall reading that one of the infamous three claimed that Koen had been at Urine's house earlier on the evening of May 29th.  Does anyone else remember reading this in the volumes of statements that were given?    ::MonkeyConfused::  It continues to bother me that Koen's family sold the boat so fast and moved.  Could it be that when the Kalpoes went by Urine's house (but didn't go in  ::MonkeyNoNo::) on the way to see the sharks, that Koen was still there in the apartment?  Perhaps Paulass had both the boat and the help of another father in taking Natalee to the ocean.       
Sander GOTTENBOS statement

On your question if I have been at Joran’s house after what happened: I can explain to you the following:
I have been at its house after it happened. I have been three times at its house.

On your question who were also at Joran’s house when I went there, I will explain to you the following:
I went twice with my brother Koen, Amanda, Flor and Gilayta. The little girls had gone with me three times.
Also Joran had asked Sander to go out with him that night but Sander was going on Dads boat so he said NO .SO the GOTTENBOS boat was already in the water


On your question about how the conversation went, I will tell you the following;
The conversation went that I asked him if he wanted to go out on my fathers boat.

He said that he could not go because he was going to play poker at the Holiday Inn. There is tournament each Sunday in aforementioned hotel and Joran participates almost each week in that tournament.


On your question what kind of boat my father has, I will explain to you the following:
It is a speedboat, of the make "Sea Pro".

On your question if Joran had been on our boat before, I will explain to you the following:
Joran has never been on our boat and has also never with our dangers. (?)
It should read:

"Joran has never been on our boat and also has never been boating with us".

Hendrik Croes detained after colliding with a police officer

Lawyer Hendrik Croes while leaving the airport after having made a statement about the possible hit and run-accident with a police officer.

ORANJESTAD – Lawyer and former Justice-minister Hendrik Croes was taken into custody early this morning for having collided with a police officer on Sunday in the afternoon and failed to stop after the accident.  The situation escalated yesterday when police union SPA incited her members to ‘bring everything to a standstill’ if Croes is not arrested.  The Public Prosecutor (OM) called on everybody to ‘stay calm’, especially the parties in the labour dispute between the government and the public employees’ unions. 

The incident took place on the roundabout of Paradera around 15:00.  At that moment, the long autocade that was taking part in the protest of the public employees’ unions against the government was just passing.  A total of 120 cars with protesting public servants took part in the auto rally that was accompanied by two police cars.  One of the police officers, Edgar Maduro, started to regulate the traffic on the roundabout.  He said that at a certain point, he saw a grey car heading for him.  When he gave the stop signal, the driver refused to stop.  “I was picked off by the car.  I opened the car door and held to it, so I couldn’t fall.  The car kept on going.”  The police officer had several bruises on his ankle, knee, and ribs.  Some colleagues took him to the hospital, and he went home after treatments, but had to be admitted later that day.

Croes in the back of the National detective’s car on his way to the bureau, where he’s going to be interrogated.  He was taken to KIA a few hours later.

Maduro self didn’t realize that the driver was Hendrik Croes, but the onlookers did.  Also the media got wind of the incident real fast and some stations linked the accident to the strike of the public employees as an attempt of the government to break the strike.  When Croes, as he said, ‘heard sensational reports about him being accused of attempted murder’, he called chief district attorney Hand Mos to give a statement.  He was at that moment at the airport, going on vacation.  Chief of police Dolfi Richardson and assistant district attorney Robert Candelaria went to the airport to take Croes’ statement.  Croes then decided to stay on the island and no longer set off.

However, a big group of police officers were not satisfied with the fact that Croes was not arrested. Miguel Maduro of union SPA called a special meeting with the members of the union and the other sympathizing officers in the clubhouse Pova.  “The law is for everybody.  A person that hits and runs is usually arrested right away.  This was an attempt to serious assault and even an attempted homicide.  I told the chief of police that if Hendrik is not arrested, we will bring everything to a standstill.”  Chief of police Peter de Witte was clearly not taken with the threat and told Maduro this later.  “The police must act objectively and transparently and let the OM do his job independently.”  In order to guarantee the objectivity, he advised the OM to transfer the case to the National-detectives, which indeed happened and Croes was taken to the bureau for interrogation.  Based on this interrogation and statements from witnesses, chief district attorney decided to take Croes into custody.  He was taken to KIA around 05:00 this morning.  He must stay there for at least 48 hours, after which the OM will decide whether to request an extension of the custody with the examining magistrate.   

Croes’ son, Eduard has meanwhile indicated that the family is preparing a lawsuit to release Hendrik from custody.  Before he was arrested, Croes emotionally declared on TeleAruba that this ‘is not something to laugh about but to cry’.  He denies having run down anybody.  “I was the third car to get on the roundabout, when a person, if I am not mistaken, wearing a polo shirt and long pants, started to regulate the traffic.  I indicated that I was going to the direction of Tanki Leendert and was trying my best to drive around this person.”  Croes also doesn’t understand how he could have hit this police officer with his car.  I was driving dead slow.  I also didn’t know that the person was a police officer.  He didn’t identify himself.”  Maduro was indeed not in uniform, but he was wearing a badge.   

Croes was not happy with certain media’s ‘very sensational reports’.  He also referred to a recent incident, where AVP-leader Mike Eman cursed him for his role in the corruption scandal Fondo Desaroyo Nobo.  “I do not understand why all this must happen this way.”

I learned from a source that there is only one place/person(?) on Aruba where a large commercial fish trap would have originated.  This should make it a reasonable venture figuring out who's trap we found.  The next logical move would be after finding them, asking them to explain their missing trap.  1) How did they lose it  2) why was it lost where it was 3) what were it's contents when it was "lost" and 3) what boat was used to transport the trap.

Any ideas of who may have possessed such a trap?
Approx. 7.5 x 7.5 x 2.5ft, and 200-300lbs, hundreds of feet of rope complete with 4-point rigging.

Thanks, Blonde!  I have always felt that Koen was the fourth member of Urine's party that night.  He wasn't with them at C&Cs, so he was never identified as one of the males that Natalee left with.  In the myriad of statements from Urine, Tweedle-Dee, and Tweedle-Dumb, they have said that they drove by Urine's house, but didn't go in.  I wonder if they went to Urine's house to either pick up Koen who was waiting for them or if they joined the waiting Koen in Urine's apartment for a preplanned assault on Natalee.  I don't think that Koen was ever questioned by ALE, although Sander was.  Koen is supposedly studying in Holland now and I also wonder if he is the person who Patrick says is Daury in Rotterdam.  Didn't he wet the bed and sleep with his mother following Natalee's disappearance?  If he is Daury in Rotterdam, I hope that he has lots of adult diapers.  I've also heard that Koen is a cousin of Urine.

Dan Gross: Greta Van Susteren rips Bochetto warning on Aruba tourism

By Dan Gross
Philadelphia Daily News

LOCAL ATTORNEY George Bochetto sent a letter to Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren and other cable-news programs on behalf of the Aruba Hotel and Tourist Association, threatening to bring legal action against them because of what the letter called "recent attacks and slanderous statements being made about the tourism industry in Aruba and the Natalee Holloway investigation."
Van Susteren mocked the letter on her program Friday night, begging Bochetto to sue her. "Bring it on," she said, adding: "I will waive all requirements, because I want to get all of these people under oath and depositions."

Other panelists on the show, including attorneys Bernie Grimm and Ted Williams, also ridiculed Bochetto's letter.

Local guy John Pauly, a former TV producer/reporter, is the media adviser to the Aruba chief prosecutor's office. He says Van Susteren "completely distorted the letter to make herself look macho," and once again distorted the story, which is "the very thing the letter was trying to remedy."

BE SAFE Beth Holloway speaks at Green High School about the disappearance of her daughter Natalee, shown behind her on the big screen.
REPOSITORY SCOTT HECKEL

 


BY ANN-MARGARET LAMBO
REPOSITORY CORRESPONDENT

GREEN Beth Holloway is a woman on a mission.

And it's to save your kids.

The mother of Natalee Holloway returned to Green High School on Monday night to convey a message of hope, faith and personal safety, born out of the tragic disappearance of her daughter during a trip to Aruba. Her appearance was sponsored, in part, by the Green Schools Foundation, the Summit County Sheriff's Department and Green City Council.

"What you need to remember as I talk with you is that any one of your children could be Natalee, and that I could be any one of you," Holloway said, in a steady, quiet voice.

In the darkened Green High School auditorium, with a single, glowing spotlight on the podium where she stood, Holloway told the story of her daughter, Natalee.

The young woman, a recent high school graduate, was an excellent student and, at the time of her disappearance, was preparing to attend the University of Alabama on an academic scholarship. A petite blonde with a passion for dance, Natalee hoped to one day attend medical school. Her destiny, and that of her mother's, changed on May 30, 2005, when Natalee was last seen while on a senior trip with 130 of her classmates. Her body has never been found.

It was her daughter's disappearance and her experiences in Aruba that turned Holloway into a safe travel advocate.

She travels the country educating parents and children about the importance of planning the safety part of the trip just as one would plan any other portion of a getaway.

Holloway had a number of suggestions to protect travelers of all ages, whether their excursions are in this country or abroad. She reminded those in attendance about the basic rules of travel — never leave the main group, never go anywhere alone, don't leave a beverage unattended, don't leave anyone in charge of a beverage, and never get stuck in a situation or condition that eliminates free will.

"Activate international calling for your cell phone," Holloway said. "Natalee didn't have international calling on her cell phone, and that weighs heavily on my heart. This is the first thing that international travelers should do."

Holloway also suggested that travelers educate themselves about their destination. Find out where the U.S. embassy is located, familiarize yourself with the country's legal system, locate the police department before traveling. And take these numbers and addresses on the trip.

At the end of her presentation, Holloway's message for the parents and grandparents in attendance was simple.

"Your sons and daughters need to be reminded that their personal safety is up to them, no matter where they go," Holloway said. "It's too late for Natalee. And it's too late for me. But it is not too late for you and your children."

Holloway recently established the International Safe Travels Foundation which prepares Auburn University students for traveling abroad. For more information on the foundation, go to: www.safetravelsfoundation.org.

Thank you Klaas.

Beth is one remarkable woman ... a true testament to her faith as she unselfishly reaches out beyond her pain for the benefit of others.

RUMOR is that such a trap could have been used as a drug "post office" of sorts.  I have no idea who would have been the owner of the trap but suspect if true it was put there intentionally.

It was also mentioned that a trap that size could have come from one of the Venezuelan fishing ships passing through.

Thanks, Blonde!  I have always felt that Koen was the fourth member of Urine's party that night.  He wasn't with them at C&Cs, so he was never identified as one of the males that Natalee left with.  In the myriad of statements from Urine, Tweedle-Dee, and Tweedle-Dumb, they have said that they drove by Urine's house, but didn't go in.  I wonder if they went to Urine's house to either pick up Koen who was waiting for them or if they joined the waiting Koen in Urine's apartment for a preplanned assault on Natalee.  I don't think that Koen was ever questioned by ALE, although Sander was.  Koen is supposedly studying in Holland now and I also wonder if he is the person who Patrick says is Daury in Rotterdam.  Didn't he wet the bed and sleep with his mother following Natalee's disappearance?  If he is Daury in Rotterdam, I hope that he has lots of adult diapers.  I've also heard that Koen is a cousin of Urine.

Sander Gottenbosch used to play soccer for FC Eindhoven; he left there after FC Eindhoven heard about his possible involvement (Koen & Sander being friends of Joran - selling their boat shortly after the dissapearance & being interrogated in June 2005) with the dissapearance of Natalee Holloway. He was suspended at first but left at the request of the FC Eindhoven technical staff. If he was 'just questioned'; why would FC Eindhoven ask a player to leave?

And if Koen wasn't questioned by the police...that fact would also fit in the description of 'Daury' that Joran gave Patrick....that this guy, of all his friends, wasn't interrogated by the police.

…I have a post saved somewhere from another forum that said that Sander was going to be arrested when Guido Wever was in May of 2006. Also one where Jossy Mansur said that it was not Guido that had the scratches but another who was in the Netherlands. Jossy felt that Koen needed to be questioned more.

I will see if I can find it all and post…LOL…amy take a while…I am not Tamikosmom!

Dan Gross: Greta Van Susteren rips Bochetto warning on Aruba tourism

By Dan Gross
Philadelphia Daily News

LOCAL ATTORNEY George Bochetto sent a letter to Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren and other cable-news programs on behalf of the Aruba Hotel and Tourist Association, threatening to bring legal action against them because of what the letter called "recent attacks and slanderous statements being made about the tourism industry in Aruba and the Natalee Holloway investigation."
Van Susteren mocked the letter on her program Friday night, begging Bochetto to sue her. "Bring it on," she said, adding: "I will waive all requirements, because I want to get all of these people under oath and depositions."

Other panelists on the show, including attorneys Bernie Grimm and Ted Williams, also ridiculed Bochetto's letter.

Local guy John Pauly, a former TV producer/reporter, is the media adviser to the Aruba chief prosecutor's office. He says Van Susteren "completely distorted the letter to make herself look macho," and once again distorted the story, which is "the very thing the letter was trying to remedy."



Thanks Klaas

On the Record w/ Greta
Aruban Group Threatens to Sue Greta
Monday, March 17, 2008
FOXNEWS


This is a rush transcript from "On the Record ," March 14, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: Well, hold on to your seats. someone, actually a group, wants to sue me — sort of.

Well, get this: Just hours ago I got a letter from an American lawyer who represents the Aruba Hotel and Tourism association. In the letter, the association accuses me and other members of the media of slanderous statements about their Aruban tourism industry and the Natalee Holloway investigation, and they are threatening to bring legal proceedings if we don't stop our false and malicious rhetoric.

Huh? Let's see what the legal panel thinks of this letter. Joining us live in San Francisco, criminal defense attorney Michael Cardoza, and here in Washington, criminal defense attorneys Ted Williams and Bernie Grimm.

Ted, my first call, of course, is to my husband John Cole. He is going to be my lawyer. He has saved me on more than one occasion. But what am I going to do?

TED WILLIAMS, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: The first thing you need to do is file something against this ignorant, incompetent lawyer, who would send a letter — you cannot defame and sue a country. There is a lawyer should have a —

VAN SUSTEREN: He is suing me.

WILLIAMS: Even you, on behalf of this country? Get real.

VAN SUSTEREN: Can I tell you, my response to this, Ted, is "bring it on." Will you please sue me? Sue me right now? I will wave all requirements, because I want to get all of these people under oath and depositions, because I would love it.

WILLIAMS: This guy is stuck on stupid, and Bernie will take it from there.

BERNIE GRIMM, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: OK, thanks, Greta. Greta just hired me. That's 200 bucks I made.

Ted is right. I think, and Jim Hammer counseled me on this —

VAN SUSTEREN: He isn't here tonight.

GRIMM: Oh. Well, Jim's watching — that I am going to resign from the practice of law because I feel like an idiot that I even share the same membership of this guy.

VAN SUSTEREN: No, we want this guy to sue me. Michael Cardoza, can you make this guy sue me? Do you realize that if I get sued, I get to prove everything? I get to depose police. It is a field day.

MICHAEL CARDOZA, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: If you are sued, you can talk about it even more. This law suit is about as well thought out as their investigation was, or this threatened lawsuit.

How are they going to prove damages, number one? Damages cannot be speculative. I know tourism went —

VAN SUSTEREN: Wait — that is the best thing. Tourism, we found out today, is up eight percent. That is the second thing.

WILLIAMS: And it may now go down, because he is now refreshing the public memory that they could not find Natalee Holloway in Aruba, and so now he may have hurt tourism in that country by this idiotic letter.

CARDOZA: How do you prove proximate cause, too? How do you prove that your statements were the cause of what they say is tourism going down there?

VAN SUSTEREN: Whose side are you on? White a second. I want them to sue me. Do not tell them not to. I want them to.

WILLIAMS: Is this a real law firm? Where did they get their law license?

VAN SUSTEREN: I don't know, but think of the discovery —

CARDOZA: You know what I think?

VAN SUSTEREN: What?

CARDOZA: One thing I do now, that when things happen, like Aruba — people forget about them rather quickly. In a year or so, even if, assuming, which I doubt, tourism went down for them, people would be flooding back there.

Now everybody listening is probably saying, what are they doing? Now I am really not going to Aruba. So they themselves are driving tourism down because of this silliness.

VAN SUSTEREN: Bernie?

GRIMM: After reflection, I think there is actually a cause action, and they should sue you.

VAN SUSTEREN: Thank you, Bernie.

GRIMM: Greta has made some statement, and I think I have made statements as well that are false.

VAN SUSTEREN: I just asked the questions.

WILLIAMS: I have never called for a boycott of Aruba, but I can tell you —

VAN SUSTEREN: What a coward he is.

CARDOZA: This is one where the only ones that are going to make money are the lawyers involved.

WILLIAMS: But this lawyer should give the money back to his clients, because he is stealing money from them in this circumstance.

CARDOZA: And certainly do not mention the guys name and give him the credit of doing that.

VAN SUSTEREN: Bernie, what possesses a lawyer to send this?

GRIMM: It is something that possess nine out of ten lawyers, which is money.

WILLIAMS: Money.

GRIMM: And it is unfortunate because they make money by exploiting people and convincing them that they can win a case. It is sad.

VAN SUSTEREN: The other thing is that nothing is stated in here, nothing specific, nothing at all. What is it that we said? That they have not solved the case?

WILLIAMS: That there are idiots down there doing the investigation.

VAN SUSTEREN: Ted keeps saying horrible things.

GRIMM: FOX News appears to rely on false information, speculation, and reckless accusations. Hold up, here is the last part — Bernie Grimm is a very handsome.

CARDOZA: — intimidate FOX.

VAN SUSTEREN: But the thing is — I do not know. Maybe they did solve the case and we are wrong.

WILLIAMS: No. This is just idiotic incompetence — an incompetent attorney. Let's put it that way.

GRIMM: Ted, do you think that the Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association, what should they do about their legal fee?

WILLIAMS: Get it back quickly, or retain me to get it back for them.

VAN SUSTEREN: And John Cole, my husband, a very busy man if we get sued. We'll have fun.

Panel, thank you.

I learned from a source that there is only one place/person(?) on Aruba where a large commercial fish trap would have originated.  This should make it a reasonable venture figuring out who's trap we found.  The next logical move would be after finding them, asking them to explain their missing trap.  1) How did they lose it  2) why was it lost where it was 3) what were it's contents when it was "lost" and 3) what boat was used to transport the trap.

Any ideas of who may have possessed such a trap?
Approx. 7.5 x 7.5 x 2.5ft, and 200-300lbs, hundreds of feet of rope complete with 4-point rigging. 

RUMOR is that such a trap could have been used as a drug "post office" of sorts.  I have no idea who would have been the owner of the trap but suspect if true it was put there intentionally.

It was also mentioned that a trap that size could have come from one of the Venezuelan fishing ships passing through.

We've internally discussed the possibility of a "post office" of sorts while awaiting forensic testing results. 
The problems with this theory include: 
-little or no evident anchor scars from a boat or boats at or anywhere near the site which would support diving ops.
-The trap shows no apparent evidence of human tampering one would expect from in situ placement and removal of objects inside the trap. The sand inside the trap shows no disruption.  The soft growth on the trap shows no obvious scars, where something scrapes or slides on the trap during a placement or withdrawal.

The potential issues of a Venezuelan fishing vessel passing through:
- The location of the trap is significantly out of the way for passing through vessels. 
- The location of the trap is not in an area where fishermen fish with commercial traps.
- There are no significant near by seabed obstructions which the trap would have gotten hung-up on to explain it's loss.
- The trap is only in 90ft of water, which makes it easily recoverable by divers if accidentally lost.
Other notes:
- The location is in the lee of the island, which makes the location somewhat weather protected and therefore less likely to have been lost during a storm.
- The trap appears to be in it's original location, as evident by an impact depression in the seabed clearly seen in the sonar.
-It appears the trap hit the bottom very hard as in a free fall.  One corner hit just before the others and the trap seemingly "bounced" a few feet and remained in its current position and orientation.

You're welcome Harry. It has been interesting to read around and I may have just gotten more confused than clarified. I'm going to bed now. You and me seem to be the only one's up late tonight and commenting.

There seem to be enough folks speculating about three people that my guess is there will be if it has not happened already. I think your original assessment that this Wever arrest is more than a suspect, perhaps a real charge, is likely accurate. The only reason I might guess that it may not be is the interview with Joe T >> I just didn't get the impression that he was convinced since he stressed they had known about him since the beginning.

One post somewhere said that Weaver worked the casino the night Natalee disappeared, my impression was for a few hours after her disappearance, and that others who worked with him thought he acted nervous (that wasn't their adjective, but it was similar), then he abruptly quit after her disappearance and moved to Holland. It is claimed by some he had scratches and bruises after here disappearance, but some were disputing this. He and Joran also were alleged to have played tennis the afternoon after Natalee disappeared.

I did find over at Refugees that someone seems to think these below are the three people being arrested. They say that Guido Wever was arrested last Wed and is the subject of the Dutch news interview and the one that Aruba wants to come back to be charged,that his attorney will fight this. One person said this Wever is not Lorenzo, but I am not sure about that. One said that Wever is not his Dutch last name, but his Dutch name does not exist in Aruba so he is called Wever - I have no idea is this is accurate and did not see this posted but once.

There is some speculation that the Columbian that some claim to have been arrested in Aruba may be the famous Jossy witness gardener.

Bringing this discussion from August forward as Jossy is quoted as saying that it was not Guido who had the scratches.   


dialogue from final LCD thread on August 11, 2007, 07:07:02 PM

How did Guido get into this picture, charged as suspected as being accomplice to among other things heavy battery, "Grievous Bodily Harm". What time did Guido leave work that late night?

Anybody think that Guido was questioned in the first week of June 05 because of scratch/other witnesses, unrelated to Joran...initially?

I've a question. Did Jossy say or write that the scratches were on GvC not Guido?

He was detained last Wednesday. He was considered a witness in June, 2005. Since February of this year, he is now a suspect. Prosecutor in Aruba want him very quickly. Main evidence against him is witness made statements against him. He claims that he is innocent and never met Natalee last June.

Jossy says he will have to come back to Aruba and the case will go forward in court. Guido Wever is his name. He did not have scratches or bruises on him last June. He was interrogated last June. Good friend of Joran. Played Tennis with him and gambles with Joran. Jossy believes Guido is in bigger trouble than GVC ever was. GVC never knew Joran.

Also, according to Jossy Mansur of Diario in Aruba Guido Weaver is not the individual that was arrested the other day with the scratches on his face. Guido Weaver is another detained individual. The identity of the individual who was arrested with the scratches has yet to be identified.
++++

From Katoblog.com
Another tidbit tossed out by Mansur includes the information that the young man to the left, indentified as "Koen" left the island of Aruba shortly after Natalee disappeared.
"...One key person in this case left the island hurriedly one or two days after Natalee disappeared, and that is Koen. He was sent to Holland and has never come back. Now they are selling their home at Malmok, giving us to understand they have moved permanently to Holland. We believe he had a strong hand in this affair."

I'll just be tyou will have it all sorted out by Friday. Here are the three:

 2. Sander G. is the kid in school in Aruba that left before his finals and flew to Holland last week and now is detained in the Netherlands. (Some speculated that he is Koen's younger brother, but don't know if this is accurate.)

Carlos Alberto Penata Ramos is a Colombian man who was detained in Aruba. (Some speculated that he also is Jossy's gardener witness.)

Koen was questioned by the polis.  There are two dates that clearly indicate he was questioned.  June 16 and June 20.  I know there have been rumors of his daddy being the one questioned the second time, but that would be very difficult to explain if true since those documents have been subpoenaed in the Dr. Phil lawsuit. Too bad they will never be produced.

If I remember correctly, it also appeared that the trap 'skidded' after impact.

Geoffrey van Cromvoirt and Guido Wever were detained within a month of each other ... another Aruban "catch and release".

GEOFFREY VAN CROMVOIRT

April 18, 2006


A Dutch youth detained in the Holloway case is also being held on suspicion of drug offenses. Geoffrey Van Cromvoirt, or G.V.C, "is suspected of criminal offenses that may be related to the disappearance of Miss Holloway and of offenses related to dealing in illegal narcotics," the Aruban prosecutor's office said in a statement.


April 24, 2006

Police released a 19-year-old man nine days after his arrest in the disappearance of Holloway — but the Aruba public prosecutor's office said he remained a suspect. In a statement, the prosecutor's office also said that a 20-year-old man was arrested in the Holloway case on April 22 and was released after six hours of interrogation. No details were provided. Geoffrey van Cromvoirt, the 19-year-old arrested on April 15, is suspected of "criminal offenses that may be related to the disappearance" of Holloway, prosecutors said.


GUIDO WEVER

May 17, 2006


Dutch police detain a man in the town of Utrecht on suspicion of participating in the kidnapping and killing of Natalie Holloway last year in Aruba, the suspect's lawyer said Sunday. Gerard Sponge said his client, whose name was not disclosed, was suspected of "assisting in the murder" of the Alabama high school senior.


May 23, 2006

A suspect arrested a week earlier in the Aruba disappearance of Natalee Holloway has been set free. The suspect's attorney says there wasn't enough evidence to hold his client in the Netherlands. The release of the suspect, identified only as "Guido W." because of Dutch privacy laws, means he will not be transferred to Aruba.

It's impossible to tell with any precision, but we are in agreement that the trap was not recently dropped at the time of it's discovery.  By recent, I mean disposed the same season as when it was found.  From the level of marine growth and decomposition of the trap's rigging, tubular metal frame, and square coated wire mesh, the time involved would be on the order of years, but not 10s of years.  Neither the condition of the trap or state of the items found inside the trap preclude a disposal at or near the time of Natalee's disappearance.

Hendrik Croes detained after colliding with a police officer

Lawyer Hendrik Croes while leaving the airport after having made a statement about the possible hit and run-accident with a police officer.

ORANJESTAD – Lawyer and former Justice-minister Hendrik Croes was taken into custody early this morning for having collided with a police officer on Sunday in the afternoon and failed to stop after the accident.  The situation escalated yesterday when police union SPA incited her members to ‘bring everything to a standstill’ if Croes is not arrested.  The Public Prosecutor (OM) called on everybody to ‘stay calm’, especially the parties in the labour dispute between the government and the public employees’ unions. 

The incident took place on the roundabout of Paradera around 15:00.  At that moment, the long autocade that was taking part in the protest of the public employees’ unions against the government was just passing.  A total of 120 cars with protesting public servants took part in the auto rally that was accompanied by two police cars.  One of the police officers, Edgar Maduro, started to regulate the traffic on the roundabout.  He said that at a certain point, he saw a grey car heading for him.  When he gave the stop signal, the driver refused to stop.  “I was picked off by the car.  I opened the car door and held to it, so I couldn’t fall.  The car kept on going.”  The police officer had several bruises on his ankle, knee, and ribs.  Some colleagues took him to the hospital, and he went home after treatments, but had to be admitted later that day.

Croes in the back of the National detective’s car on his way to the bureau, where he’s going to be interrogated.  He was taken to KIA a few hours later.

Maduro self didn’t realize that the driver was Hendrik Croes, but the onlookers did.  Also the media got wind of the incident real fast and some stations linked the accident to the strike of the public employees as an attempt of the government to break the strike.  When Croes, as he said, ‘heard sensational reports about him being accused of attempted murder’, he called chief district attorney Hand Mos to give a statement.  He was at that moment at the airport, going on vacation.  Chief of police Dolfi Richardson and assistant district attorney Robert Candelaria went to the airport to take Croes’ statement.  Croes then decided to stay on the island and no longer set off.

However, a big group of police officers were not satisfied with the fact that Croes was not arrested. Miguel Maduro of union SPA called a special meeting with the members of the union and the other sympathizing officers in the clubhouse Pova.  “The law is for everybody.  A person that hits and runs is usually arrested right away.  This was an attempt to serious assault and even an attempted homicide.  I told the chief of police that if Hendrik is not arrested, we will bring everything to a standstill.”  Chief of police Peter de Witte was clearly not taken with the threat and told Maduro this later.  “The police must act objectively and transparently and let the OM do his job independently.”  In order to guarantee the objectivity, he advised the OM to transfer the case to the National-detectives, which indeed happened and Croes was taken to the bureau for interrogation.  Based on this interrogation and statements from witnesses, chief district attorney decided to take Croes into custody.  He was taken to KIA around 05:00 this morning.  He must stay there for at least 48 hours, after which the OM will decide whether to request an extension of the custody with the examining magistrate.   

Croes’ son, Eduard has meanwhile indicated that the family is preparing a lawsuit to release Hendrik from custody.  Before he was arrested, Croes emotionally declared on TeleAruba that this ‘is not something to laugh about but to cry’.  He denies having run down anybody.  “I was the third car to get on the roundabout, when a person, if I am not mistaken, wearing a polo shirt and long pants, started to regulate the traffic.  I indicated that I was going to the direction of Tanki Leendert and was trying my best to drive around this person.”  Croes also doesn’t understand how he could have hit this police officer with his car.  I was driving dead slow.  I also didn’t know that the person was a police officer.  He didn’t identify himself.”  Maduro was indeed not in uniform, but he was wearing a badge.   

Croes was not happy with certain media’s ‘very sensational reports’.  He also referred to a recent incident, where AVP-leader Mike Eman cursed him for his role in the corruption scandal Fondo Desaroyo Nobo.  “I do not understand why all this must happen this way.”

Let me get this straight, in my non-fishing, non-boater, brain:

This trap could not have "fallen" from a commercial fishing ship ( such as a shipped docked for repairs, etc.) because of the depth and location.

This trap was not lowered by crane, or whatever because it wasn't situated in a position that demonstrated "lowering", unless one end was really weighted down? I would think the ropes etc, to the crane would level it?

Do the restaurants that sell shrimp and spiny lobsters have fishermen that use these traps?  I thought the fishermen docked by the HI.

I would think, a trap that size would have to be loaded by the Container Harbor (where Jaime worked). Is there an Aruban commercial fisherman located at The Container Harbor?

The belief is that the trap has not been disturbed since it's original placement (which looks to be about when?).

I believe in your scientific mind...so there must be something to all this...or I believe you would have dropped the idea about "this" trap.

I'm a little sceeered..... ::MonkeyEek::

As of the 2nd week of Feb, this is what I had learned from the FBI:
The contents of the trap were being actively investigated.  The forensic results of a fabric sample showed the fabric sample was not a match to Natalee's blouse and that no DNA match to Natalee was found within that fabric sample.  Human remains were found, but the FBI was not and would not comment on the case.  The FBI did not comment on the remains, but rather the fabric sample.

In July 1998, the Drug Enforcement Agency ("DEA")
arrested defendant Luis Humberto Barbosa for importing
into this country 882 grams of cellophane-wrapped pellets
of heroin, which he had swallowed while in Aruba and
subsequently expelled in a hotel room in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Following the arrest, Barbosa was charged in
a complaint with possession with intent to distribute
heroin. Upon further investigation, the DEA laboratory
determined that the pellets Barbosa had swallowed
contained cocaine base with a purity of 85%, not heroin.
<snip<
Barbosa was an ancillary part of a larger DEA undercover
investigation into South American heroin suppliers who
were smuggling the drug into the United States.
This
investigation ultimately resulted in the seizure of 75
kilograms of cocaine in Aruba
and the arrest of five
individuals, including Emilio Medina a/k/a Felix Zorilla. As
Aruba was a critical point in the smuggling route, the DEA
had worked with the Aruban Police Department through
the DEA's Curacao Country Office.
<snip>

 the Government possessed information that Zorilla had access
to a large amount of heroin in Aruba.

<snip>

The DEA knew that
Zorilla had previously been involved in narcotics activities
with Disla, and thus directed Disla to contact Zorilla in
Aruba to negotiate a deal. Disla, however, did not know
Barbosa when he began this work for the DEA. On June
10, 1998, during a tape-recorded conversation, Zorilla
asked Disla if he could obtain a United States passport for
him to travel internationally but not to enter the United
States. Later in the conversation, Zorilla gave Disla the
pager number of his friend, "Luisin," an American citizen
who had just left Aruba for the United States.
According to
Zorilla, Luisin was a "straight guy," which Disla later
testified meant someone who could be trusted with drugs.
Zorilla also stated that he had met Luisin at a restaurant
in Aruba
after not seeing him for some time. Zorilla then
asked Disla whether he knew of anyone who could be used
to transport drugs into the United States.

<snip>
Barbosa traveled to Aruba on July 15, 1998. He spoke to
Salcedo on the telephone concerning the money Zorilla had
requested that he bring to Aruba.
During a recorded
telephone conversation the next day, Barbosa told Disla
that Zorilla had delivered the drugs to him,

So, no fabric compatible with Natalee's clothing was found in the trap and none of Natalee's DNA was found either...but there was something...someone...there.  Hmmmmm. Interesting, isn't it?

The search for Natalee Holloway
It's the story you haven't heard: the tale of two parents who, even now, willgo anywhere -- and endure anything -- to find answers.
TRANSCRIPT
By Chris Hansen
Correspondent
NBC News
updated 5:20 p.m. PT, Fri., Feb. 22, 2008


<snipped>

On Dec. 30, off the coast of Aruba, divers from the Aruban police force and the research vessel Persistence were about to make a crucial dive on a promising target in the search for Natalee Holloway.

The researchers had discovered a fish trap about 90 feet below the surface in almost the exact spot search expert Tim Miller had theorized Natalee’s body might be.
 
Team leader Tim Trahan suited up to join the Aruban police divers. As Tim Miller wished him well, the divers hit the water and the ROV was sent down to capture what would happen for everyone watching on board.

(On the boat)

Brandon: We have visual on divers and target.

Slowly the divers worked their way down to the trap. They had been instructed to give a thumbs up or thumbs down.  The atmosphere in the survey room was tense, and nerves were raw as Miller, the Aruban authorities and the crew of the Persistence waited for word of what exactly was in the trap. The divers approached the target and signaled above. And then...

(On the boat) No it's thumbs down. Negative, not it.  

Crushing disappointment.

(On the boat) Tim Miller: Divers coming up right now. I don't know it looked as promising today as it did last night or before.

Miller: Nothing?

Trahan: No.

Chris Hansen: That had to be a crushing blow.

Tim Miller: It was a crushing blow.
 
Now Tim Miller had to deliver that same crushing blow to Natalee’s parents.

Chris Hansen: How hard is it for you to dial their numbers and tell them that this in fact is not the break in the case we-- we hoped for?

Tim Miller: Probably one of the hardest calls I ever made. Probably one of the hardest … probably should have never made the first one. But everything looked right at the time.
 
Natalee’s father was at home in Mississippi when the call came.

Chris Hansen: What was it like for you to, once again, have a setback?
 
Dave Holloway: That's probably about the time that-- the chest pains intensified to an extreme. I mean, how many times can I take this?

Beth Holloway: You know, it's a disappointment. But, you have to look at the magnitude and the sacrifices being made even to get to that point.

Chris Hansen: You didn't know these folks before this happened. What do they represent to you now?

Dave Holloway: They represent heroes to me.
 
To be sure there was no relevant evidence, material from the trap was given to the FBI.

Greta: Tim are they absolutely certain that this is not a piece of clothing belonging to Natalee Holloway?

MILLER: The report we got is the DNA that came back did not match Natalee's DNA  and when we located that it looked like more than just a piece of cloth and I mean we, we felt as though we seen a skull in there. We got the Aruba authorities involved, they felt there was something in there, we dove on it and the thing is that's only 1 of over 170 targets out there we still have to investigate, so we've got a lot of work ahead of us.

The Aruban Police requested the FBI Laboratory to process the cloth, because the Laboratory already had a sample of the exact match of the type of material of Natalee Holloway’s blouse. The FBI Laboratory received that material on the 22nd of January 2008.

On the 25th of February 2008, the Prosecutors’ Office received the official report from the FBI Laboratory that showed that the two materials were not a match.

Just like that Kalpoe lawsuit against Dr. Phil is a frivolous lawsuit, backed by AHTA

A blast from the past (for Greta):

Stop the boycott against Aruba with lawsuits in the U.S.

DIARIO Aruba
11/23/2005

..... Contrary to what Minister Wever insinuated, Rainbow Warriors International is working in the general interest of Aruba and the rest of the world. This is what Milton Ponson declared last Tuesday night to DIARIO.

... According to Ponson, their organization supports a conversation with Mr. Jaap Baujon, member of the Strategic Communication Task Force and offers their services free of charge to help disarm the boycott called against Aruba.

... We are in agreement with Mr. Bob DiLella, political consultant of the MEP party, who declared in an article published on November 21, 2005 in Amigoe, that we have to become more aggressive.

To take away Beth Twitty’s strength, her defamation campaign has to be attacked as much as the media who support it as with elected officials, for example governor Bob Riley of Alabama.

Litigation is underway now, where a lawsuit has been initiated, given that among others, Dr. Phil indicated that he is NOT interested in giving the opportunity for ‘rebuttal’, and he isn’t either interested in ‘fair and accurate news coverage’

... Enough with pretty letters to Minister Bot, protests at the Plaza Betico Croes and Open Letters in the press. It is time to act!!! Ponson proposes lawsuits against the media who do not want to provide us with rebuttals and/or fair and accurate news coverage.[/i]

Just an observation here....why would you dump a body at sea in 90 feet of water knowing it would be possible to retrieve by divers?  That would not make Joran so confident that Natalee would never be found.

So, no fabric compatible with Natalee's clothing was found in the trap and none of Natalee's DNA was found either...but there was something...someone...there.  Hmmmmm. Interesting, isn't it?

May I name a few possibilities?.....

*original quote SNIPPED for contextual purpose:

This trap could not have "fallen" from a commercial fishing ship ( such as a shipped docked for repairs, etc.) because of the depth and location.
- Falling is highly unlikely given it's location and condition.

This trap was not lowered by crane, or whatever because it wasn't situated in a position that demonstrated "lowering", unless one end was really weighted down? I would think the ropes etc, to the crane would level it?
-Lowering by a windlass or winch would not explain the impact depression from one corner of the trap.  If it were leveled, one would assume it would fall level.  This is further supported because the 4-point rigging was still on the trap.

Do the restaurants that sell shrimp and spiny lobsters have fishermen that use these traps?  I thought the fishermen docked by the HI.
-This is a different type commercial fish trap used (to my knowledge) in deep water for grouper, snapper, etc

I would think, a trap that size would have to be loaded by the Container Harbor (where Jaime worked). Is there an Aruban commercial fisherman located at The Container Harbor?
-I didn't see any fishing boats at the port facility the entire time I was there.

The belief is that the trap has not been disturbed since it's original placement (which looks to be about when?).
- Unknown, see previous post about the timing and duration

I believe in your scientific mind...so there must be something to all this...or I believe you would have dropped the idea about "this" trap.
- I believe the story of the trap is far from over despite Mos's press release. The other project leads feel it's best to forget about the trap and "move on" mainly for operational reasons (to focus on what may still be out there), also lack of immediate answers about the trap.  Keep in mind our tight time and financial constraints. I support their position.  It's certainly wise.
- However, I'm personally split three ways about the trap.  Not all the project leads feel as I do, but of course all the people involved in the search have highly varied levels of exposure and information particularly in relation to the trap.

Hi Kyle,
 Are you saying that final forensic testing results have not been concluded?

It certainly seems the trap was intentionally dropped there by your description.  Fascinating anaylsis. thanks!

As of the 2nd week of Feb, this is what I had learned from the FBI:
The contents of the trap were being actively investigated.  The forensic results of a fabric sample showed the fabric sample was not a match to Natalee's blouse and that no DNA match to Natalee was found within that fabric sample.  Human remains were found, but the FBI was not and would not comment on the case.  The FBI did not comment on the remains, but rather the fabric sample.


Oh My!!!  Thank You!
Many here are still denigrating me for saying that I still think Natalee may have been found. I still haven't seen anything to change my mind. The key word is still "may" though.
Wreck, I have thought that Natalee may have been found too, and after reading what kyle said about human remains being in the trap It's obvious that someone has been found and it could be Natalee.

"And we all feel, I'm speaking from everybody on the team, that she's in one of the targets we have not looked at yet," Tim Trahan of Underwater Expeditions said. "We can't stop. I go to sleep at night thinking we've located it, we just need to get to it."

"So we have completely mapped the ocean floor, we know every object that's there, we know every object that could be a container holding her in the sea," he said.

Kyle ... I am confused.  It was my understanding that it was determined by Tim Miller, Tim Trahan as well as forensic testing that nothing significant in regards to the Natalee Holloway case was found in the cage.

Janet

- Tim Miller, Tim Trahan, Dateline and all comments in the Dateline special are pertaining to information available as of the Dec-30th dive, which was visual inspection only.  The trap contents weren't sampled until the 7th of January.  Neither Tim Miller, Tim Trahan, or Dateline were on board during this time.  Further, the forensic testing wasn't completed until early February.  The FBI comment regarding the level of case significance was premature and I believe (IMO-but with good reason) it was induced by Tim Uelinger's (Dateline producer) pressuring of the FBI contact for immediate answers.  Getting the response of nothing case significant gave Dateline a legal foothold to show the trap in their 1 hr special.  This response likely came before the FBI even received the samples for testing.

Let me make myself perfectly clear...
I am not raising the issue to project my opinions, feelings or beliefs on others of what may or may not have happened.  This is all strictly for discussion purposes and NOT to raise potentially false hope.  The purpose is to share information as accurately as possible to hopefully connect some dots in an otherwise royally convoluted mess.  It's difficult to objectively analyse information and leave emotion aside, but I ask you to do that here with the information I present.  I will continue to let you know what is my opinion and what is historical.  The separation is vital.

The fact is as the bottom line: whether true or not, according to our FBI and the Aruban chief prosecutor we are suppose to believe the trap does not contain Natalee's remains at this point.  This is based on the wording of the FBI report and Mos's press release. 
-Base on that, the project leads are wisely putting opinions one way or another aside to plan on investigating the remaining targets in the event her remains are still out there among the sonar targets.   
- I will not go on the record and state my opinion of whether or not her remains are in that trap because I do not want to sway peoples opinion, spread potentially false hope, destroy valid hope, or eliminate objectivity for other competing scenarios.

-The famous "thumbs down" - Tim Trahan said he could not conclusively see human skeletal remains. The signals were: One thumb up for skeletal remains (body), two thumbs up for Natalee. When Tim came out of the water as seen on camera in the Dateline special, he was winded from the dive and gave a short answer of "No, nothing".  He (along with many of us) were expecting something very clear and immediately identifiable.  It wasn't so clear or obvious as he (and we, along with Tim Miller) expected and hoped upon visual-only inspection.
 Tim (along with myself) didn't expect an intact skeleton.  We expected a high level of scavenging by small to moderate sized predators including crustaceans, grouper, small sharks..etc. which (IMO) would likely spread any remains radially away from the trap opening.

Chris Hansen: How hard is it for you to dial their numbers and tell them that this in fact is not the break in the case we-- we hoped for?

Tim Miller: Probably one of the hardest calls I ever made. Probably one of the hardest … probably should have never made the first one. But everything looked right at the time.

Natalee’s father was at home in Mississippi when the call came.

Chris Hansen: What was it like for you to, once again, have a setback?  

Dave Holloway: That's probably about the time that-- the chest pains intensified to  an extreme. I mean, how many times can I take this?

Beth Holloway: You know, it's a disappointment. But, you have to look at the magnitude and the sacrifices being made even to get to that point.  

Chris Hansen: You didn't know these folks before this happened. What do they represent to you now?
 
Dave Holloway: They represent heroes to me.
 
To be sure there was no relevant evidence, material from the trap was given to the FBI.

On the issue of Trap recovery:

-After the visual inspection on 30-Dec, the initial plan discussed by the project leads and Aruban police was for us (the team on board the Persistence) to be directly involved in the recovery of the trap.  There were talks about getting the proper equipment on board the Persistence such as a suction-recovery system to sift small items from the sand.  The talks continued after Jan-7th when the samples were collected.

-Just after the 30th of Dec we were told it would take about 10-14 days to bring in a Dutch team capable of processing an underwater site. 

-Jan 9th through 13th I was off the boat and staying at the Holiday Inn for a much-needed break.  I walked up and down the beach many times a day.  On the 11th and 12th, I noticed the Dutch coast guard vessel at or VERY near the trap site.  I talked to a wind surfer instructor who claims to be at the beach every day for 8 years.  He said the boat always comes up the shore just south of where we were standing, turns away and heads offshore.  He said it never goes where it was and has never seen it stop.
The vessel was on that spot for 42 minutes that day and about the same duration the next day.  I triangulated it's position the best I could using a wrist watch and a few points on land.  It was right on the target location based on the measurements.

-When I returned to the Persistence (14-Jan) there were no more talks about a trap recovery.  When I pressed the issue, I was told "they're no longer interested in the trap or it's recovery".

-I raised the issue again in early February and the response was the same - no interest about the trap and no plans to recover.

I assume one of three scenarios: 1) They genuinely aren't interested in the trap, 2) They are/were interested and will take care of it themselves (or have already done so) and don't want us informed or involved, or 3) They already recovered the trap (or processed the site) and don't want us to know for whatever reason, good or otherwise.

Janet, I think Tim was premature in delivering both messages to Dave and Beth.  I think he was going with what he knew at the time.  I really think he was going with the info from Tim who was just out of the water in Dec.  As Kyle has pointed out, they really didn't go down to investigate the dive site until January 7th.

--------------
 
-Your frustration mirrors my own.  It's unanimous that Tim M. should never have told Dave and Beth anything about the trap until it's contents were forensically examined.  After the diver visual inspection of the trap he was obligated to report what the Aruban divers reported because although limited, it's the only information he had and the family rightfully wanted answers.  It was a royal mess.  I took a lot of heat for telling Tim Miller anything about the trap that may have prompted him to making the calls to the family.  In my defence, I specifically told Tim not to tell anyone about the trap until the contents are analysed.  He couldn't wait.  He was very emotional, hopeful, and confident.  It was a crushing time for all. Most of all- for Tim Miller, Dave, and Beth.  This was Dec 30th.

No I don't know it, but there's only one that patrold the waters to my knowledge. 

I inquired about the Dutch coast guard being on site during the dates in question when I returned to Aruba.  I showed why I was curious and it was solid enough to provoke a response from Adolpho Richardson or Hans Mos (I can't remember and am not sure because I got the response 2nd hand). The response was remarkable and simply: "we do not have dive capability".  This odd response raised a few questions in my mind.

Kyle ... you and everybody on Natalee forums know where Tamikosmom stands  on the credibility of Hans Mos but ... why would you doubt the FBI's position?

What reason would there be for the FBI to hold back for three months and not reveal that the remains of Natalee Holloway has been located ... the remains of Natalee Holloway can be returned to her parents ... the remains of Natalee Holloway can finally be laid to rest on American soil.  What would the reason possibly be for the FBI to lead the family to believe that the remains were not those of their beloved Natalee?

I sincerely want to know.

-When I returned to the Persistence (14-Jan) there were no more talks about a trap recovery.  When I pressed the issue, I was told "they're no longer interested in the trap or it's recovery".

-I raised the issue again in early February and the response was the same - no interest about the trap and no plans to recover.

I assume one of three scenarios: 1) They genuinely aren't interested in the trap, 2) They are/were interested and will take care of it themselves (or have already done so) and don't want us informed or involved, or 3) They already recovered the trap (or processed the site) and don't want us to know for whatever reason, good or otherwise.

This sums up why WE as monkeys have been very concerned about a recovery operation that did not include the U.S. FBI etc.  No more than we expected and have come to expect from Aruba.  Did you ever go back to the site to see if it was untouched?  Thanks.

Hi Kyle,
 Are you saying that final forensic testing results have not been concluded?

It certainly seems the trap was intentionally dropped there by your description.  Fascinating anaylsis. thanks!

As of the 2nd week of Feb, this is what I had learned from the FBI:
The contents of the trap were being actively investigated.  The forensic results of a fabric sample showed the fabric sample was not a match to Natalee's blouse and that no DNA match to Natalee was found within that fabric sample.  Human remains were found, but the FBI was not and would not comment on the case.  The FBI did not comment on the remains, but rather the fabric sample.


Oh My!!!  Thank You!
Many here are still denigrating me for saying that I still think Natalee may have been found. I still haven't seen anything to change my mind. The key word is still "may" though.

I agree wreck

Kyle ... my frustration stems from the fact that Tim Miller informed Natalee's parents that the find was not related to their daughter and ... the responses of Beth and Dave were quoted.

I give Tim Miller the benefit of the doubt that he had a foundation of information/knowledge prior to giving them the heartbreaking news pertaining the diver's investigation of the cage/trape.

Janet
--------------
 
-Your frustration mirrors my own.  It's unanimous that Tim M. should never have told Dave and Beth anything about the trap until it's contents were forensically examined.  After the diver visual inspection of the trap he was obligated to report what the Aruban divers reported because although limited, it's the only information he had and the family rightfully wanted answers.  It was a royal mess.  I took a lot of heat for telling Tim Miller anything about the trap that may have prompted him to making the calls to the family.  In my defence, I specifically told Tim not to tell anyone about the trap until the contents are analysed.  He couldn't wait.  He was very emotional, hopeful, and confident.  It was a crushing time for all. Most of all- for Tim Miller, Dave, and Beth.  This was Dec 30th.

Thank you Kyle.

Do you remember the name of the coast guard vessel?


No I don't know it, but there's only one that patrold the waters to my knowledge. 

I inquired about the Dutch coast guard being on site during the dates in question when I returned to Aruba.  I showed why I was curious and it was solid enough to provoke a response from Adolpho Richardson or Hans Mos (I can't remember and am not sure because I got the response 2nd hand). The response was remarkable and simply: "we do not have dive capability".  This odd response raised a few questions in my mind.

Was it the Panther?

Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions.

Did the Persistence run out of money or was "the mission" completed?

Is there anything we can do?  Sounds like you must have found out who is "the one person" that would have a trap that big.  Do we need to try and get a background check...or is he self explanatory?

Not sure "trapping", with a cage that size,  is legal, but I did find on someone's blog that trapping is still done, on Aruba, for Gruns, Snapper, Parrotfish and Big Eyed Scad (Masbango). Would that be done in 90 feet of water?

Were there any "trap floats" visible?

Is it really necessary to put names of familymembers on the Internet. ::MonkeyNoNo::

I dunt kneeew since the slooticuses claimed Beth was decended from the Hitler crowd.
Wouldn't you say THEY opened the can of worms?   JackB

No, that's not what I was going to say. But the familymembers  of VdS did not open the can of worms either. They can't help it.

Would you like it, if you were part of the family of VdS to be dragged through the Internet?


Beth's daughter and the rest of the family never did anything either.  American's nuke.  We don't play around.  This is no game and even their priest is not above looking into.  God help us, someone is going to pay for killing that girl.  She represents to some of us America and we do not like to go missing, be messed with, slandered, or shat upon.  We got more of the stuff, more people, more brains and God, so don't mess with one or you mess with all.  Natalee just happened to go missing and by luck of the draw and by the pitifulness and aloneness of her mother who appealed to me to help her as best I can.  I am not alone in my thinking.  Now is anyone wants to know WHY Natalee.  Why US--there you have it.  No color, no richness, just luck of the draw.  God saw fit for some reason for us to assist, maybe because no one else has had the committment down there, or it seems are stalling here in the US for some reason, maybe security reasons.  BUT SOMEONE is going to give us answers or we will NEVER leave it alone.  It will not get better.  It will get worse.  Jackb

katrien,
  For what it's worth here.Jackb does not speak for all Americans and I am one of those.With that being said,for you to ask if it necessary  to have the VDS names posted on the internet,my answer is yes.Pressure is pressure and it will be applied in any shape way or form we can apply it to get justice for Natalee.We being the one's that are carrying this burden will bring anything we can to the forefront if it will help us achieve our common goal to see that justice is indeed done.Sometimes it is family members that finally get mad enough to do something and help.If any of the Sloot family members have nothing to hide,they shouldn't be worried about what could be found out about them on the internet.I don't believe we Americans as Jackb stated,"We got more of the stuff, more people, more brains and God" is anywhere close to the truth.God is not a respecter of persons and rather folks want to believe it or not,the Christians know that He(God) loves everyone the same and desires them to come to Him.I am no more important in His eyes than Yoran,Paulas,Kalpoe's,etc...To say Americans have God is implying we are the only one's that do and that is false.Christians are in all nationalities and worldwide..We here on this forum have one desire and that is to see that justice for Natalee is sought after using every tool at our disposal.If not us katrien,then who? Our government is not going to nuke any country over the disappearance of a girl on holiday,in fact,it seems they are doing nothing at all which is why this forum is so badly needed.We are a collection of souls here that are burdened about this case and that is why we are so dedicated in our searching for the truth.Please try to understand this way of thinking.Not every American feels the way we do here even though we would like to think that is true.There are many that could careless in fact.I know a few of them,however,like I said,God brought the souls here to carry the burden and be the voice for Natalee.There is always a remnant and the ones that cry for justice are that remnant of people.We are those...

Definition of remnant-leftover: a small part or portion that remains after the main part no longer exists.

Because we are the remnant,Jackb is right,we will never leave it alone.Justice must be served and one way or another,it will be.God promises that.Every man will stand accountable one day at the day of judgement and will give answer for everything,even every idle word spoken..I hope you understand alittle better now Katrien as I have enjoyed you on this forum and hope you will continue in our efforts to see to it that our only objective is to get that justice for Natalee Holloway..God Bless you...
It would be my HOPE that you would NOT have the misunderstanding, or try to create the impression that would take the euphemism used here to make it seem as though someone would actually NUKE someone over one missing person.  NUKE in this sense means we play hardball.  Your problem TOT is that you may or may not be an American.  There is American and there is American.  You do not need to explain that I do not speak for all Americans, but there certainly is a segment who agrees with most of what I am saying in part, at least.  The people who are traveling from this country in relatively recent years have become "targets" to some of the more ignorant in other countries.  They seem to make a game of injuring some of ours and then trying to sue.  It is like they are taught Americans are only there to line their pockets.  They are jealous of this country and feel they have to destroy what they cannot have.  If they would get their priorities straight they would be just as free and have a better life as most of the Americans do.
They want to put "things" before God and country, use them up and then take ours and our beliefs and twist them into their own.  NOT GONNA HAPPEN.  You say what you want.  You have the right, but you do not have to explain my posts or even twist it to get foreigners on your side in this problem of getting justice where justice is deserved.  I have my way of doing things and if you think going against your own is going to help you then you will see that you are fodder like most others who have tried to get their foot in the door only to find out it was THEIR foot in YOUR door.  Pour it to it.........it can be handled.         jackb

The fact that the Coast Guard ship went back there is not surprising in the least. This is the modus operandi of Aruba to act in this way, to do whatever they can to contaminate or make disappear evdience that may have some relevance to the case.

It really is of no consequence though, the FBI has the "critical" samples from the cage. A suction and recovery would have been the best case scenario, but really what are you achieivng that isn't already accomplished in terms of evidence collection. Sure it would have been a full and complete recovery, but it doesn't matter.

We know human remains were in that cage and that they were recovered. At this point, false hope is not something to be afraid of and I for one have a positive feeling about things.

So why no word from the FBI on this? The answer is simple--leverage. They have information that Aruba does not and that gives them power.

Kyle already told us that the FBI sent the pictures to Dave & Robin.
Gagal was replying to Heli who questioned the motives of Robin.

Did the FBI give Dave and Robin the probability statistic?

I'm not about to attest to your intelligent level or anyone else's. WHAT I do know however is that theses photos were very upsetting to Robin and Dave.. you may see just a trap on the bottom of the floor, but what they saw was the possibility of a "99% probability" this was Natalee.

-Jan 9th through 13th I was off the boat and staying at the Holiday Inn for a much-needed break.  I walked up and down the beach many times a day.  On the 11th and 12th, I noticed the Dutch coast guard vessel at or VERY near the trap site.  I talked to a wind surfer instructor who claims to be at the beach every day for 8 years.  He said the boat always comes up the shore just south of where we were standing, turns away and heads offshore.  He said it never goes where it was and has never seen it stop.
The vessel was on that spot for 42 minutes that day and about the same duration the next day.  I triangulated it's position the best I could using a wrist watch and a few points on land.  It was right on the target location based on the measurements.

-When I returned to the Persistence (14-Jan) there were no more talks about a trap recovery.  When I pressed the issue, I was told "they're no longer interested in the trap or it's recovery".

-I raised the issue again in early February and the response was the same - no interest about the trap and no plans to recover.

I assume one of three scenarios: 1) They genuinely aren't interested in the trap, 2) They are/were interested and will take care of it themselves (or have already done so) and don't want us informed or involved, or 3) They already recovered the trap (or processed the site) and don't want us to know for whatever reason, good or otherwise.



Kyle,  I want to thank you so very much for everything that you have done.  You're great and we're so fortunate to have a connection to you.
I have a few questions.
1) If the FBI at Quantico tested the fabric that was found in the trap, how did they get it?  It sounds like the Dutch got their hands on the trap contents as you stood on the beach and watched.  You must have just wanted to scream when you figured out what was obviously going on.
2) Can we assume that the Dutch have the real goods and the FBI just has the fabric?
3) Is it possible that possibly very detailed DNA tests are being done on whatever was found and that no statements have been made because of the blunders in the past three years?
4) Do you have any idea who might own a fish trap that size?
5) Are there any other important people who have disappeared from Aruba who could be in that trap?
6) Do you think that it's possible there might be additional fish traps among the remaining sites that you need to inspect.
7) Could Dutch/Aruban interference be the reason why Persistence left so suddenly?

You must be very frustrated by what is now going on with the contents of the trap. You went to Aruba with a very heroic motive and you put out a lot of work. I am more than concerned if information is being withheld or if Natalee's recovery has been sabotaged by the Dutch or Arubans.  I am also terribly disappointed in even thinking about imagining that Tim Miller would cave into the Dutch or the Aruban ALE.

Do you remember the name of the coast guard vessel?


No I don't know it, but there's only one that patrold the waters to my knowledge. 

I inquired about the Dutch coast guard being on site during the dates in question when I returned to Aruba.  I showed why I was curious and it was solid enough to provoke a response from Adolpho Richardson or Hans Mos (I can't remember and am not sure because I got the response 2nd hand). The response was remarkable and simply: "we do not have dive capability".  This odd response raised a few questions in my mind.

From an audio interview wit Hans Mos:

Hans mos says: At the end of december Persistence found the cage. He was contacted about possibility of cloth being in the cage.(He doesn't mention a skull just cloth)
In the first days of jan. as the seas were calmer a dive team from aruban police went to the spot again
(no mention of divers from Persistence)
Sample of cloth was taken and sent to FBI. tests took 1 month but did not match the dupilcate set of Natalee's clothing that the FBI was given by Beth Holloway
Reporter then asks if they get many new leads as a result of the PRDV show
Mos says: PRDV has received thousands and that his departement also got many and still does on a daily basis.

The coastguard has 3 cutter vessels, Panter, Jaguar and Puma

Kyle, I just want to say I think you're a truly great American and a terrific role model for young people. You gave a lot of yourself and I appreciate all of your efforts. They may not have produced the desired results yet, but it's the effort that makes you special in my eyes.

There have been a lot of people that have given so much of themselves to see Natalee brought home. Red searched a garbage dump filled with medical waste for Natalee, and that almost killed Art Wood. It took him a long time to recover.

And Tim Miller - what else can be said about that Saint? He has given so much of himself also....you're all heroes in my book. And it's in the true spirit of being an American and helping others.

So, thank you Kyle for all you have done.

responding to the Quote from SS:

I have a few questions.
1) If the FBI at Quantico tested the fabric that was found in the trap, how did they get it?  It sounds like the Dutch got their hands on the trap contents as you stood on the beach and watched.  You must have just wanted to scream when you figured out what was obviously going on.
- the "samples" were sent to the FBI by Richardson by his own admission (2nd hand info).
- I cannot confirm nor deny the Dutch doing anything with the site.  From my best estimate, it appeared they were on the site.  I have no other reason to base this theory on.  It's not as obvious as it sounds paraphrased.  I think it's a coin flip.



2) Can we assume that the Dutch have the real goods and the FBI just has the fabric?
- I have no idea.  I have no reason to assume or speculate on this. 

3) Is it possible that possibly very detailed DNA tests are being done on whatever was found and that no statements have been made because of the blunders in the past three years?
- I don't know.  The only thing I know is from the report that said no DNA match to Natalee in the fabric and the fabric wasn't a match to her blouse.

4) Do you have any idea who might own a fish trap that size?
-I don't know which is why I raised the question earlier.

5) Are there any other important people who have disappeared from Aruba who could be in that trap?
-I don't have a clue. It's still possible there wasn't anyone ever in the trap.  This appears to have been and remains the official stance.

6) Do you think that it's possible there might be additional fish traps among the remaining sites that you need to inspect.
-I can't comment on this because we need to inspect the targets.  This is largely the point of inspection.

7) Could Dutch/Aruban interference be the reason why Persistence left so suddenly?
- I have no reason to suspect this.  We didn't leave so suddenly.  We were there since December 15th and left over two months later.  This is hardly sudden.

You must be very frustrated by what is now going on with the contents of the trap.
- I don't know what now is going on with the contents of the trap, if anything.  It's hard to know what to think or feel.

You went to Aruba with a very heroic motive and you put out a lot of work. I am more than concerned if information is being withheld or if Natalee's recovery has been sabotaged by the Dutch or Arubans.
-sometimes information being withheld is a good thing and necessary for the sake of the case.  The only solid base for witholding info is from our FBI who say they're not commenting on the case.  This however, is nothing new and neither bad nor good.  It means nothing.  I have no reason to suspect sabotage by anyone.

 I am also terribly disappointed in even thinking about imagining that Tim Miller would cave into the Dutch or the Aruban ALE.

If I remember correctly, OE stated previously that on the first dive which was recorded by dateline a skate or some other sea creature caused a dust storm right before the signals were given by the divers. The next day a second dive and recovery was executed in which "samples" from the cage were brought to the service.

I agree, there is confusion in this thread.

The likely scenario is that human remains and cloth was brought to the surface on that second day and given to the FBI for testing. The cloth did not match samples provided by Beth to the FBI and we have yet to hear whether the DNA from human remains is a match.

So what is the deal here, does the FBI have human remains from the cage or not?

The question over whether or not the FBI has human remains or not is not answerable at this point.  They are not commenting on the case.  They only commented on the fabric sample and that it's not a match to Natalee's blouse.

However, the impression I took away was based on a conversation with someone who told me there were remains, which left me rather suprised to hear from him. But, it's possible that in conversation he confused remains vs. DNA.  Honestly, I was under the impression that if there was DNA, there was remains and so I agreed with him.

Kyle you just don't know!! what evidence was sent, and how much evidence ALE have lost already



Kyle your previous post indicates that the crew of the persistence "supervised" the collection of the contents of the trap as well as items outside of the trap. So are these "samples" what was given to the FBI by Richardson?


There were three ROV dive videos of the trap.  Video 1 : 29th Dec - ROV visual inspection of the trap.  (very small clip of this video on Dateline).  Remember, the Dateline footage was taken over our shoulders by filming the ROV monitor.  The footage is not the recorded ROV footage.
Video 2: Dec 30th - ROV and Diver visual-only inspection of trap.  This is the dive Dateline and Tim Miller witnessed, also the dive footage the screen captures I made came from that were posted by Robin at BNH.  I sent these 6 screen shots to the FBI and the FBI only. I was shocked to see them posted.  I thought we had a security breach on the boat from my workstation or a leak from the FBI.  Turns out the FBI gave them to Dave H. after he couldn't get them from me.  After Tim Miller told Dave that we found her in a trap with 99.9% certainty (this is pre-diver inspection), Dave very reasonably requested them from me.  I badly wanted to send them to him, but couldn't.  Apparently, shortly therafter the FBI send the screen shots to Dave anyway, and therefore Robin had them. 

What you all really didn't know (nor Tim Miller when he said his statements to the press, neither Dateline NBC when they broadcasted their lovely special):

Video 3:  Jan 7th - ROV monitoring diver tactile inspection of the trap with sampling of items inside and outside of trap.  The trap was not recovered.  Recovered samples sent for forensic analysis.  Neither Tim Miller nor the media were on board.  
The trap in Video 1-3 was found from the first conducted ROV dive.  I found the target at 1:46 am on Christmas morning.  It was my #1 ranked priority target and therefore the first of the ROV dive series. 

Several hours of footage were of other dives on other targets.  None were of any relevance. Most targets were of peculiar coral pinnacles, man-made debris, and ship wrecks.

Peter de Witte has been named the new Police Chief of Aruba following the departure of Ronny Bernadina. Peter de Witte is the acting Director of the Coast Guard for the Netherland Antilles and Aruba. Wonder if Peter de Witte will do anything that differs in the investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway or will it be different chief, same old story?

now i also want more info about hendrik.

betico is from 1938.

peter de witte, acting director of the Coast Guard for the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.
highly likely but not 100% sure.that he is dutch then. because the coast guard is provided by the dutch.

i am very interested how this hendrik croes thing is going to play out.
it won't help with negotiating a deal with the striking state workers who want more pay.

This was posted by gagal at RU back when the photo's first
were put up at BNH.  gagal was speaking for Robin.
Kyle already told us that the FBI sent the pictures to Dave & Robin.
Gagal was replying to Heli who questioned the motives of Robin.

Did the FBI give Dave and Robin the probability statistic?

I'm not about to attest to your intelligent level or anyone else's. WHAT I do know however is that theses photos were very upsetting to Robin and Dave.. you may see just a trap on the bottom of the floor, but what they saw was the possibility of a "99% probability" this was Natalee.

The "99.9%" came independantly from Tim Miller to Dave H. on Dec 29th, prior to the diver visual inspection of the trap.   I can't imagine what that must have felt like to be told and then completely retracted the next day.  I couldn't believe the information was prematurely leaked to the family before we knew what we were looking at.  My heart broke for Dave and Beth.

Personally, I fed off of Tim's inflated confidence and my own on the night of Dec 29th.  I did not sleep. Few of us did. The only person able to remain completely objective, much to his credit, was John Silvetti.  In hindsight, I am in awe of him for his wisdom(from past hard experiences) and strength. At the time, I thought he was nuts for not siding with the rest of us after the first dive. It was a crushing dissapointment the evening of Dec 30th, but not over.  The tactile inspection dive was coming. Dec 30th, 2007 will forever stand in my mind as one of the hardest single days of my life.

One would hope that whatever was taken up from that trap was guarded very closely, I have to go with what OE posted earlier when the pictures were first seen on this board:

"WHAT do you think you are doing?  What do you seriously think you are going to accomplish with the pics?  Don't you even think to consider for a second that we the search team, who found the trap, supervised it's sampling, recorded that video and others... are ensuring the situation is in proper hands and being taken care of appropriately and completely?

-In short... the only specific item mentioned as being sent was the fabric found inside the trap.  It's unclear whether what was sent to the FBI by Richardson was limited to this fabric, or included this fabric and other items.  Someone else may know more.  This is what I'm sure of.

Why on earth involve ALE with anything especially a possible forensic recovery? We all know they have destroyed evidence and covered up this crime.

I understand that we all want to see someone get charged and sentenced, but this was a privately funded expedition for the family to try and get some answers to what happened and maybe some closure.

It's been 3 years and the ALE have shown the family nothing but disrespect why take the chance? I would of dropped anchor on that site until the FBI came and made the recovery!

OE, this is not a shot at you. Honestly, from the bottom of my heart I thank you for what you've done in Aruba and what you bring to this cage. I know you were not making these decisions and who ever was I'm sure thought they were doing the right thing.

When the Aruban Coastguard boarded on January 27th, was Persistence near the trap site?  Did anyone from the Persistence view the trap again, after the Dutch Coast Guard had been close to the area Jan 14th +/-.

HarryTho 10/30 Natalee Holloway Update And Commentary (Early Edition) Updated

http://www.hyscience.com/archives/2005/10/harrytho_1030_n.php

On the "brief" news side we have Aruba Getagrip with: "Party rejects Nelson Oduber’s proponed Cabinet New parliament members sworn in yesterday."
Rudy Croes will have to relinquish the Ministry of Justice and assume responsibility for Tourism and Utilities;
• The new Minister of Justice is to be Candelario “Booshi” Wever who will also have the responsibility for Public Health and Environment;

MEP internally divided on minister positions
It appears to be difficult for Nelson Oduber to establish a new council of ministers. It seems that the current Justice-minister Rudy Croes and his colleague-minister Ramon Lee of Labour, Culture, and Sport do not get what they want. The two left the meeting prematurely. They didn’t want to comment on their premature departure.

It also appears that the Justice Ministry is an important post in Aruba. Rudy Croes refuses to let it go!

Yes, the Mormons have a great database. Info only good as those who submit lineage, or those two guys on the bikes have time to find. There are others.

Perhaps, to find more fruit, one might need to seek another family tree.

Maybe shake the tree of a retired ex-polis and see what kinda flavour falls out.

Yes, the Mormons have a great database. Info only good as those who submit lineage, or those two guys on the bikes have time to find. There are others.

Perhaps, to find more fruit, one might need to seek another family tree.

Maybe shake the tree of a retired ex-polis and see what kinda flavour falls out.

Who knows...it may lead to the fifth and a monkey.

As of the 2nd week of Feb, this is what I had learned from the FBI:

The contents of the trap were being actively investigated.  The forensic results of a fabric sample showed the fabric sample was not a match to Natalee's blouse and that no DNA match to Natalee was found within that fabric sample.  Human remains were found, but the FBI was not and would not comment on the case.  The FBI did not comment on the remains, but rather the fabric sample.

Kyle also mentions a Dutch "recovery" boat in the area of the trap site.

HarryTho 10/30 Natalee Holloway Update And Commentary (Early Edition) Updated

http://www.hyscience.com/archives/2005/10/harrytho_1030_n.php

On the "brief" news side we have Aruba Getagrip with: "Party rejects Nelson Oduber’s proponed Cabinet New parliament members sworn in yesterday."
Rudy Croes will have to relinquish the Ministry of Justice and assume responsibility for Tourism and Utilities;
• The new Minister of Justice is to be Candelario “Booshi” Wever who will also have the responsibility for Public Health and Environment;

MEP internally divided on minister positions
It appears to be difficult for Nelson Oduber to establish a new council of ministers. It seems that the current Justice-minister Rudy Croes and his colleague-minister Ramon Lee of Labour, Culture, and Sport do not get what they want. The two left the meeting prematurely. They didn’t want to comment on their premature departure.

It also appears that the Justice Ministry is an important post in Aruba. Rudy Croes refuses to let it go!



this http://www.votarudy.aw is one of those empty sites like http://www.aruba.gov.aw/
registered in 2000 by Setar, Edgard Geerman.

there is no minister of defense and foreign affairs because this is handled by the dutch.
so very important post that justice ministry. maybe more important than prime minister.
all issues between the netherlands - aruba involved the justice minister.

The 5th suspect is either Lorenzo or Paulus, I think; according to Shango or Simian.
I think it means that there is a family relationship between Paulus and Jan Van der Straaten.
I found a Professor at Tilburg University named Jan Van der Straaten.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am so disheartened now that I know the Dutch/Arubans have the contents of the trap.  I think that we all know that the FBI received fecal matter from Richardson.  I don't feel that Tim Miller would have said anything to Beth and Dave if he wasn't really sure about what was in that trap.  From a scientific perspective, 99.9% is about as certain as it gets.  We have all seen the pictures from that cage and I don't think that there is much, if any, question in our minds that a human skull was in that trap. Tim and his crew are professionals in recovery and I doubt if they would make premature statements. Even Tim thought it was a skull. The Persistence was privately funded.  It wasn't an FBI or ALE project and yet it now seems that everything has been swept out from under us again.  For three years, Aruba has pushed our faces in the sand of that crappy little sandbar.  Paulass, v.d. Stratten, and three punk kids have thwarted the best nation on this earth. I have to feel that Kyle was giving us a very important message today and I sincerely thank him. Maybe the pictures of the cage were intentionally leaked for the purpose of letting us know what had happened, but we just "didn't get it" until now.  I don't think that a boycott of Aruba is enough.   Perhaps we need to focus on all that is Dutch.

"Pop Goes the Weasel" is a jig, often sung as a nursery rhyme, that dates back to 17th century England, and was spread across the Empire by colonists. The song is also associated with jack-in-the-box toys (when the song gets to "pop" the "jack" pops up).

Well...it's been stated that the fabric found did not match the fabric of a shirt similar to the one worn by Natalee that night.  What about her skirt?  How much fabric was found and was there only one type of fabric found and tested?

I know these are rhetorical questions...just thinking......

Spock, read back.  The thumbs down was given during the dateline show taping. Their vision was obsured by the skate that raised the sand, and their air was running out.   A future dive on the 7th of January netted the fabric and remains.

This was posted by gagal at RU back when the photo's first
were put up at BNH.  gagal was speaking for Robin.
Kyle already told us that the FBI sent the pictures to Dave & Robin.
Gagal was replying to Heli who questioned the motives of Robin.

Did the FBI give Dave and Robin the probability statistic?

I'm not about to attest to your intelligent level or anyone else's. WHAT I do know however is that theses photos were very upsetting to Robin and Dave.. you may see just a trap on the bottom of the floor, but what they saw was the possibility of a "99% probability" this was Natalee.

The "99.9%" came independantly from Tim Miller to Dave H. on Dec 29th, prior to the diver visual inspection of the trap.   I can't imagine what that must have felt like to be told and then completely retracted the next day.  I couldn't believe the information was prematurely leaked to the family before we knew what we were looking at.  My heart broke for Dave and Beth.

Personally, I fed off of Tim's inflated confidence and my own on the night of Dec 29th.  I did not sleep. Few of us did. The only person able to remain completely objective, much to his credit, was John Silvetti.  In hindsight, I am in awe of him for his wisdom(from past hard experiences) and strength. At the time, I thought he was nuts for not siding with the rest of us after the first dive. It was a crushing dissapointment the evening of Dec 30th, but not over.  The tactile inspection dive was coming. Dec 30th, 2007 will forever stand in my mind as one of the hardest single days of my life.


As I adhere to the landfill theory ... IF Natalee was taken out to sea it was in the first week of June and ... it was not in the area of the Persistence search.  Therefore ... I contend that the contents of the cage/trap do not not pertain to the Natalee Holloway case.

Nevertheless ... I concede that the images of the trap/cage and its contents appear to reveal a skull ... not just fabric.  Also ... Kermit's closeup image leaves no doubt in my mind that Tim Miller is correct ... THERE WAS A SKULL IN THAT TRAP/CAGE.

Kyle ... I am sincerely attempting to correctly comprehend your posts regarding the contents of the cage/trap.

1.  Did your previous post imply that the Arubans took immediate possession of the contents of the trap/cage?
2.  Did you previous post imply that it was the Arubans who sent the contents of the trap/cage to the FBI?
3.  Did your previous post imply that the Aruban may have had access to the trap/cage prior to the dive led by  led by Tim Trahan ... the dive when Tim Trahan declared there was nothing?

The search for Natalee Holloway
It's the story you haven't heard: the tale of two parents who, even now, willgo anywhere -- and endure anything -- to find answers.
TRANSCRIPT
By Chris Hansen
Correspondent
NBC News
updated 5:20 p.m. PT, Fri., Feb. 22, 2008


And on Dec. 29 the crew dropped a remote operated vehicle, or ROV, into the water to get a closer look.
 
Tim Miller: It looked like a skull. Still looks like a skull.  

Chris Hansen: So, you're thinking-- you're thinking at this point--
Tim Miller: I’m thinking at this point, "Oh, my God, maybe we've got something. Maybe we've got something."

Could they have found her? Or was hope, perhaps, making them see what they wanted to see?

(on the boat)

Tim Miller: In my years of searching we have seen several bodies, skeletal remains--I have seen my own daughter's skeletal remains. I can’t help but believe at this moment that that is human remains in that crab trap.  

<snipped>

On Dec. 30, off the coast of Aruba, divers from the Aruban police force and the research vessel Persistence were about to make a crucial dive on a promising target in the search for Natalee Holloway.

The researchers had discovered a fish trap about 90 feet below the surface in almost the exact spot search expert Tim Miller had theorized Natalee’s body might be.
 
Team leader Tim Trahan suited up to join the Aruban police divers.  As Tim Miller wished him well, the divers hit the water and the ROV was sent down to capture what would happen for everyone watching on board.

Tim Miller
On the Record w/ Greta
February 27, 2008


Greta: Tim are they absolutely certain that this is not a piece of clothing belonging to Natalee Holloway?

MILLER: The report we got is the DNA that came back did not match Natalee's DNA and when we located that it looked like more than just a piece of cloth and I mean we, we felt as though we seen a skull in there. We got the Aruba authorities involved, they felt there was something in there, we dove on it and the thing is that's only 1 of over 170 targets out there we still have to investigate, so we've got a lot of work ahead of us.

We saw what most of us were sure was Natalee's top found at the rocks.
It has been said that her skirt was found in Lorenzo's basement by a maid.
Anita described her panties.

So fabric found in the trap would not have matched her blouse.
Any fabric would have been used to wrap her body...not a piece
of her clothing.

Yes, the Mormons have a great database. Info only good as those who submit lineage, or those two guys on the bikes have time to find. There are others.

I agree Blonde.

I suspect that the comparison used by the FBI in the forensic testing was the fabric found in the Boca Tortuga area of Aruba on July, 2005.

Also the dive was on December 30, 2007.  Why did Aruba not immediately send the fabric to the FBI for forensic testing?  Why did Aruba wait unti January 22, 2008?

Fabric/Duct Tape - Boca Tortuga
SCARED MONKEYS
June 18, 2006


What did the Aruba Park Ranger pick up at Boca Tortuga area? Fabric that matched Natalee’s Top?

What ever happened to this material? Why didn’t the media camera man take a close up of what so closely resembled the green fabric of Natalee’s top? One would have thought that they would have zoomed right in to see what had been collected.

On Sunday, July 17, 2005 the park rangers found the duct tape with long blonde hair in the Boca Tortuga area of Aruba. A park ranger being video’d walking around picks up a piece of fabric that matches Natalee’s top.

The question still remains today, what ever happened to this evidence that was collected? We also need to remember that this material that was found washed ashore following the hurricanes that took place last summer. It is highly possibly that the material washed ashore from another location on the island or from out at sea.

The Aruban Police requested the FBI Laboratory to process the cloth, because the Laboratory already had a sample of the exact match of the type of material of Natalee Holloway’s blouse. The FBI Laboratory received that material on the 22nd of January 2008.

On the 25th of February 2008, the Prosecutors’ Office received the official report from the FBI Laboratory that showed that the two materials were not a match.

This is an article about Alex Solagnier and the corrupt black market tobacco trade through Aruba.


http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2001/aug/22/uk.conservatives3

Whistleblower who asked too many questions faced company's wrathThe insider Director says actions helped to curb dealing

Special report: BAT exposé
Duncan Campbell The Guardian, Wednesday August 22 2001 Article historyAbout this articleClose This article appeared in the Guardian on Wednesday August 22 2001 . It was last updated at 09:23 on August 22 2001. Alex Solagnier rose from being a 17-year-old bookkeeper to being a director of an unusual trading company with an annual turnover of hundreds of millions of dollars. In the process, he says he saw at first hand the smuggling networks which in the last 10 years carried more than $1bn worth of BAT cigarettes into South America.
He was sacked at the end of 1999. In the ensuing row, the company, Romar Freezone Trading, accused him of incompetence, fraud, alcoholism and blackmail. Attempts were made to threaten him and, he says, to set him up on assault or drugs possession charges.

The company's allegations were thrown out by an Aruba court, which in December 1999, he says, awarded him full compensation for loss of his job as a director of Romar for 10 years. He agreed to talk after discovering a year later that BAT had offered to compensate Romar for his dismissal. This made him feel that BAT too wanted him removed.

Solagnier still lives in Aruba. "In the beginning, I was very scared," he says. But after briefing lawyers and officials investigating contraband and money laundering, he feels safer. "I put my story in the [local] paper. I have a little bit of protection. The point of danger has gone." He has not asked to be paid for his story.

For the tiny Caribbean island of Aruba - a popular destination for tourists from the US and the Netherlands - the thriving contraband trade built up since 1982 was not, at first, of much concern to outsiders. But by the mid-1990s, its support role in the narcotics trade had put it at the heart of global action against money laundering and drug running.

For the Arubans, work in "exports" did not seem incompatible with public service. Alex Solagnier served on local institutions such as Medicaid. He also served as president of the island's chamber of commerce and a local yacht club.

He became concerned about his employers, he says, when he began to suspect that, apart from what they were doing in Colombia, they were operating personal kickback schemes that may have been cheating the Aruba authorities and moving their wealth to other offshore havens.

In March 1999, Solagnier says he was told he had been asking too many ques tions. The company suggested he find a new job.

We asked Solagnier to fly to Washington to meet the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) last month. He took care to prove his identity, producing his passport and company records that showed his longstanding role inside Romar. These were verified from public records.

Much of what BAT had done in the early 1990s was familiar to us from a previous investigation by the ICIJ, based on BAT documents disclosed during lawsuits. Solagnier was able to describe these detailed changes in the relationship between BAT and Romar, confirming his authenticity and his memory.

Despite being warned by the judge in his 1999 case: "Are you aware that you are fighting one of the most powerful families in the country?" he agreed to speak openly. He says it is the pressure from investigations and lawsuits that has led to the shutting down of most of the illegal trade into Colombia, if not to other places.

Janet, 

The fabric that we believed to be Natalees top was in the ranger/searchers hand and he let it blow away in the breeze back in the ocean.  How could this be the same fabric?  It was shown on an early video of the search. 

Secondly, I believe that the search where they recovered the contents of the cage was done on January 7th.  It was not on the date of the filming of the Date line broadcast.

I am still confused by Kyle's posts. I have to go back and read them again. It seems to me he says human remails found, then retracks and says DNA is human remains, but then later says the guy who told him 2nd hand might have mistaken the word remains instead of DNA; are they one and the same or different?
Then it seems as though he says he learned from the FBI human remains were found but later says he heard this 2nd hand from a person he does not name.
Am I the only one confused by today's posts?

And can Fin please clarify the Monkey comment?
My head is starting to spin. ::MonkeyConfused:: ::MonkeyNoNo::

1.  I have never seen the video where the fabric was allowed to blow away.  The follow FP blog would indicate that Red had not seen the video.

View fabric images:

2.  It is my understanding that Kyle's post imply that the dive was on December 30, 2005.  Nevertheless ... the fabric was not sent by the Arubans until January 22, 2008.

Kyle ... my frustration stems from the fact that Tim Miller informed Natalee's parents that the find was not related to their daughter and ... the responses of Beth and Dave were quoted.

I give Tim Miller the benefit of the doubt that he had a foundation of information/knowledge prior to giving them the heartbreaking news pertaining the diver's investigation of the cage/trape.

Janet
--------------
 
-Your frustration mirrors my own.  It's unanimous that Tim M. should never have told Dave and Beth anything about the trap until it's contents were forensically examined.  After the diver visual inspection of the trap he was obligated to report what the Aruban divers reported because although limited, it's the only information he had and the family rightfully wanted answers.  It was a royal mess.  I took a lot of heat for telling Tim Miller anything about the trap that may have prompted him to making the calls to the family.  In my defence, I specifically told Tim not to tell anyone about the trap until the contents are analysed.  He couldn't wait.  He was very emotional, hopeful, and confident.  It was a crushing time for all. Most of all- for Tim Miller, Dave, and Beth.  This was Dec 30th.

As of the 2nd week of Feb, this is what I had learned from the FBI:
The contents of the trap were being actively investigated.  The forensic results of a fabric sample showed the fabric sample was not a match to Natalee's blouse and that no DNA match to Natalee was found within that fabric sample.  Human remains were found, but the FBI was not and would not comment on the case.  The FBI did not comment on the remains, but rather the fabric sample.

So is this different than skeletal remains? What exactly IS human remains? When will we get the results...if ever?

However, the impression I took away was based on a conversation with someone who told me there were remains, which left me rather suprised to hear from him. But, it's possible that in conversation he confused remains vs. DNA.  Honestly, I was under the impression that if there was DNA, there was remains  and so I agreed with him.

Glenda Julia put a youtube promotion on over there that her "baby" is in.  I'm assuming it's a "come to Aruba" thing, some were commenting on how they couldn't wait to go.  Crazy people!

This is very disturbing to me.  If the dive took place Dec. 30 and the samples sent Jan. 22 THAT is 3 weeks wait time.  I asked earlier if the cage and contents were checked before you left to see if it was still intact? My guess is that Dutch ship retrieved whatever was there.  I remember Capslock telling us the ship was in Aruba about that time. I thought then it was something to do with the Persistence and that was about the time you said it is starting to get interesting.

From oceanexploraton:

As of the 2nd week of Feb, this is what I had learned from the FBI:

The contents of the trap were being actively investigated.  The forensic results of a fabric sample showed the fabric sample was not a match to Natalee's blouse and that no DNA match to Natalee was found within that fabric sample.  Human remains were found, but the FBI was not and would not comment on the case.  The FBI did not comment on the remains, but rather the fabric sample.

Kyle also mentions a Dutch "recovery" boat in the area of the trap site.


Human remains were found, but a thumbs down sign was given by the divers.


Following the December 30, 2007 dive ... the Persistence diver ... Tim Trahan ... is videotaped returning to the vessel and revealing  there was nothing in the trap/cage.  Why did Tim Trahan deny that there were human remains?  Tim Miller was so sure that the images taken by the ROV on December 29, 2007 prior to the dive revealed a skull and ... Kyle affirms that there were human remains in the cage/trap.  See Youtube - Part 4.

I am so confused.

And on Dec. 29 the crew dropped a remote operated vehicle, or ROV, into the water to get a closer look.
 
Tim Miller: It looked like a skull. Still looks like a skull.  

Chris Hansen: So, you're thinking-- you're thinking at this point--
Tim Miller: I’m thinking at this point, "Oh, my God, maybe we've got something. Maybe we've got something."

Could they have found her? Or was hope, perhaps, making them see what they wanted to see?

(on the boat)

Tim Miller: In my years of searching we have seen several bodies, skeletal remains--I have seen my own daughter's skeletal remains.  I can’t help but believe at this moment that that is human remains in that crab trap.

<snipped>

Dave Holloway: He (Miller) told me, he said, "Dave, we found her."

Chris Hansen: "We found her?"
 
Dave Holloway: Yeah. I said, "Are you sure?" and he said, "I’m 99.9 percent sure."  He said, "We hadn't gone down and dove under or anything. But the photographs--" he said, "I tell you, Dave." I-- he said, "That's what we're looking for. And that's gotta -- that -- that's it."

On Dec. 30, off the coast of Aruba, divers from the Aruban police force and the research vessel Persistence were about to make a crucial dive on a promising target in the search for Natalee Holloway.

(On the boat) Tim Miller: Divers coming up right now. I don't know it looked as promising today as it did last night or before.

Miller: Nothing?

Trahan: No.

Chris Hansen: That had to be a crushing blow.

Don't know if you can answer, but who exactly told you this (or at least what nationality were they)?

-When I returned to the Persistence (14-Jan) there were no more talks about a trap recovery.  When I pressed the issue, I was told "they're no longer interested in the trap or it's recovery".

-I raised the issue again in early February and the response was the same - no interest about the trap and no plans to recover.



Did you get an actual visual, of the trap, anytime after Jan 12th??

Alright, I get it. They found remains, it wasn't Natalee, and the Dutch want it all hushed up to protect tourism. Can't have another unexplained death on the island.

2.  "Who" is present in the cage....is probably not the most important aspect of this particular find....that "this" was found is creating shock-waves....that can be watched and followed.  "Implying" that it can't be ruled out as Natalee can be very "useful"....ie, following those that panic and run......

3.  After news of finding the "cage"....youngin ditch has been sequestered away from  Enquiring Minds....most likely against his will....is he coming unglued?.....(remember he tells us he's not sure where she is....does this "find" have him bumfuzzled?)

4.  Personally....less energy spent on the individual facts of the "what" of this particular cage...and more fact-finding about the "who could", "how", "when", "where", "why"....these inquiries will cause considerable "grief" for anyone following the monkey cage postings....especially if we start to get close....the "bad guys" just might tip their hand....inadvertantly

5.  Someone's dirty laundry has been been exposed....its just a matter of time before the pieces begin to fall into place....the tidy little schemes will begin to unravel and everyone will be trying to cut themselves a better deal by selling each other out....(thump, thump....thump, thump..."Can you hear the heartbeat in the floor?"....Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe)

Hello, have you or the crew examined what was sent to the FBI from Aruba to determine if the items sent were the ones found in the cage or were there any steps taken to protect the integritry of the evidence so that you would know if they destroyed, lost, or substituted evidence? Of course, nothing productive happens in Aruba very fast, especially with them striking. Beth thought they were on strike when she first met them:)

2.  "Who" is present in the cage....is probably not the most important aspect of this particular find....that "this" was found is creating shock-waves....that can be watched and followed.  "Implying" that it can't be ruled out as Natalee can be very "useful"....ie, following those that panic and run......

Hello Wreck. 

The disclaimer is vital because I am not an official source of infomation, nor am I peer reviewed. A lot of what I share is what I was directly involved in.  However, much of what I share is 2nd and 3rd hand, but the closest we've got in some cases, hence the saltshaker should be used liberally. This is afterall an internet discussion forum and so I believe it's suitable material for discussion to see if rattling around in the monkey cage can connect some dots.  And you're correct, I personally do not feel we should disregard the trap or it's contents until we know how that trap got there and what the nature of its contents were IMO.

I am assuming that Beth and Dave are having this same discussion with the FBI?  I am also assuming the FBI are more forthcoming to them.  Would the FBI not have been called in to view the trap?  I do understand you were in Aruba's waters and this is how it had to play out but I would hope that the FBI or some other U.S. agency was involved.

Alright, I get it. They found remains, it wasn't Natalee, and the Dutch want it all hushed up to protect tourism. Can't have another unexplained death on the island.
Also guys, dont get into the "Dutch switched the fabric and remains samples" theory. There is no way that could have happened with the Persistance Team and Tim Miller looking on.

For almost 3 years I have seen people come here with 2nd / 3rd hand knowledge and state that... Yet they are quizzed / questioned / pushed / hammerd like they had 1st had knowledge  Why? 

Do we think they should have done more?  Do we want their thoughts so that we can agree / disagee with them? Do we think they are lying to us?

I'm just so thankful to all that conducted the sea search and to OE  for keeping us up todate with what they could share with us.

No I will not stick around to debate what I feel, for no amount of debate will change my view, in that at times we Nit / Pick to death  those that provide information to us.

From oceanexploraton:

As of the 2nd week of Feb, this is what I had learned from the FBI:

The contents of the trap were being actively investigated.  The forensic results of a fabric sample showed the fabric sample was not a match to Natalee's blouse and that no DNA match to Natalee was found within that fabric sample.  Human remains were found, but the FBI was not and would not comment on the case.  The FBI did not comment on the remains, but rather the fabric sample.

Kyle also mentions a Dutch "recovery" boat in the area of the trap site.





Just the blouse and not the skirt?  There was more than just one skeletal remains in that video.  I am thinking the contents were from the ocean.  The body of one the skeletal remains appeared to be drifted upward to the cage top.  The skeletal head remains seemed to be consistent in damage that was shown in the bag videos.  Also the area where the body was supposed to be first hidden photo where the trees were chopped back seemed to have the same video in there as the one that was supposed to be in the cage.  The cage video pic must have been placed in this area to give a better perspective for that area when talking about theories.    jackb

Fin,

Are you trying to tell us that Jossy Mansur and his family are behind Natalee's coverup?


http://www.publicintegrity.org/Report.aspx?aid=355


Twenty miles off the northern coast of Venezuela lies a tiny, sunbaked island called Aruba. Like so many self-governing Caribbean islands that cling to the coast of the Americas, it has been a smugglers paradise since colonial times. For decades, it also has been a linchpin in an illegal tobacco trade that Colombian authorities claim comprised as much as 90 percent of cigarettes sent into Colombia. The chief purveyors were two powerful Aruba families by the names of Mansur and Harms.

http://www.public-i.org/Content.aspx?src=search&context=article&id=579

Tobacco companies who publicly claim to fight against the black market in their products are suspected of organizing this market themselves. And to profit from it. Joop Bouma traced the smuggling routes, the methods and the people involved. His report starts on Aruba with a man who once carried suitcases filled with cash, all dollars, to Colombia, and who now fears for his life. Once he carried a suitcase with American dollars through customs at the Queen Beatrix airport in Oranjestad. Straight from Colombia. It was at the time that you could still get away with almost anything on Aruba. "I carried more than a million in cash. As long as you could show just a few receipts to the custom officials, they let you through," says Alex Solagnier. "Of course I knew that a lot of the money came from drugs. You always picked up your money in cash in Colombia. That's the way business with this country was done for some 80 years.

http://duncan.gn.apc.org/bat/Health_Committee_Evidence_1.htm

The basic mechanism of money laundering was that US dollars raised from cocaine sales were transferred to Aruba, and used to purchase cigarettes from agents such as the Harms or the Mansurs. The cigarettes were then smuggled into Colombia along traditional routes, and sold in urban black market centres known as Sanandresitos. The proceeds of the black market sales were then transferred to the cocaine producers, as "clean" Colombian pesos. This mechanism, known as peso broking, is the basic means of money laundering associated with cocaine trafficking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jossy_Mansur

Mansur is known for his weekly editorials which are often critical of the local government of Prime Minister Nelson Oduber. The ongoing disagreement between Mansur and Oduber dates back many years. During the election campaign in 2001, Oduber's party even had stickers made stating "Don’t believe Diario."[17]
Mansur has strongly advocated a point of view in the cases of Eduardo Mathew and Natalee Holloway. He appeared regularly on Fox News and Nancy Grace's CNN Headline News show commenting on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway on Aruba in 2005. Mansur formed his own "investigative team" and his newspaper repeatedly published new leads. According to some observers, Mansur latched onto the bandwagon as part of his own feud with the Aruban government.[18]
http://www.hyscience.com/archives/2005/10/harrytho_1023_n.php
This is an article about Jossy Mansur’s involvement with AmSouth Bank, Interbank of Aruba, and Bancco de la Construccion in Venezuela.  Its claims that Natalee’s uncle is a key figure in AmSouth Bank. 

http://thekomisarscoop.com/1997/05/29/drug-smugglers-dutch-treat/
This article is about a Dutch investigation into Aruban and Curacao organized crime that resulted in the Mansurs and the removal of a police chief.

We might as well never think about the cage again because we will never know anything about it other than our speculation. Kyle was on the boat, operating a signifcant tool involved in the examination of the cage, and he doesn't know why the cage was not retrieved or why the evidence took a three week vacation in Aruba. He doesn't know what the FBI received from Aruba.

As bright as he is, as sophisticated as the equipment was, and as professional as the crew of the Persistence is, if they don't know the answers then we certainly aren't ever going to be able to determine anything about the cage.

O.K. has anyone ever determined who on that island has access/owns a cage that size? They would also have to have the means to release this cage in 90 ft of water without regard to the cost of the cage. It is a heavy cage so disposal would have to have been aided by something more mechanical instead of human hands.  OR could a  helicopter have accomplished this without a problem?

The appearance of integrity is almost as important as integrity, and the Arubians have none of either as it relates to this case. Any evidence they are allowed to possess is evidence that might as well have not been discovered, other than to help complete the coverup. The sad thing is we will believe that regardless as they have lost even the perception of integrity. Surely the remains were not turned over to Aruba without even a bone or a piece of bone being kept by someone to corroborate that the evidence was protected in the chain of custody.

No -- he is saying that "human remains" were VERY probably found. He is saying that the FBI has ONLY stated that fabric sent to them was not a match to Natlee. That is ALL he is saying. There has been no definitive answer about ANYTHING of importance. The FBI has not commented really about anything.

I agree Blonde.

I suspect that the comparison used by the FBI in the forensic testing was the fabric found in the Boca Tortuga area of Aruba on July, 2005.

Also the dive was on December 30, 2007.  Why did Aruba not immediately send the fabric to the FBI for forensic testing?  Why did Aruba wait unti January 22, 2008?

Fabric/Duct Tape - Boca Tortuga
SCARED MONKEYS
June 18, 2006


What did the Aruba Park Ranger pick up at Boca Tortuga area? Fabric that matched Natalee’s Top?

What ever happened to this material? Why didn’t the media camera man take a close up of what so closely resembled the green fabric of Natalee’s top? One would have thought that they would have zoomed right in to see what had been collected.

On Sunday, July 17, 2005 the park rangers found the duct tape with long blonde hair in the Boca Tortuga area of Aruba. A park ranger being video’d walking around picks up a piece of fabric that matches Natalee’s top.

The question still remains today, what ever happened to this evidence that was collected? We also need to remember that this material that was found washed ashore following the hurricanes that took place last summer. It is highly possibly that the material washed ashore from another location on the island or from out at sea.

The Aruban Police requested the FBI Laboratory to process the cloth, because the Laboratory already had a sample of the exact match of the type of material of Natalee Holloway’s blouse. The FBI Laboratory received that material on the 22nd of January 2008.

On the 25th of February 2008, the Prosecutors’ Office received the official report from the FBI Laboratory that showed that the two materials were not a match.

I wonder if that is the cameraman who died with his hand in his pocket?  Jackb

I will ask Beth or her Mom about the evidence that the FBI received. I am simply to cynical, and I bet there is a reasonable explanation. Information does become inaccurate as it is passed along:) I am a little worried that Kyle doesn't know why the cage was not retrieved and very concerned that he is concerned. I think he would be extremely hard to deceive, especially after he gets a little down time and tries and can't put the pieces together.

From oceanexploraton:

As of the 2nd week of Feb, this is what I had learned from the FBI:

The contents of the trap were being actively investigated.  The forensic results of a fabric sample showed the fabric sample was not a match to Natalee's blouse and that no DNA match to Natalee was found within that fabric sample.  Human remains were found, but the FBI was not and would not comment on the case.  The FBI did not comment on the remains, but rather the fabric sample.

Kyle also mentions a Dutch "recovery" boat in the area of the trap site.





Just the blouse and not the skirt?  There was more than just one skeletal remains in that video.  I am thinking the contents were from the ocean.  The body of one the skeletal remains appeared to be drifted upward to the cage top.  The skeletal head remains seemed to be consistent in damage that was shown in the bag videos.  Also the area where the body was supposed to be first hidden photo where the trees were chopped back seemed to have the same video in there as the one that was supposed to be in the cage.  The cage video pic must have been placed in this area to give a better perspective for that area when talking about theories.    jackb

Is he saying that they found human remains in the cage, that the remains were given to the Aruban authorities, they held them for three weeks, sent them to the FBI, and the FBI reported it was not Natalee?
No -- he is saying that "human remains" were VERY probably found. He is saying that the FBI has ONLY stated that fabric sent to them was not a match to Natlee. That is ALL he is saying. There has been no definitive answer about ANYTHING of importance. The FBI has not commented really about anything.

Is he saying that human remains were found and turned over to Aruba?

If we are going to try and figure out the origin of the trap:

Is it for sure, a "fish" trap...as apposed to a "live animal" (wild dogs, iguana) trap?

I had found an odd page about using a fish trap to establish a desalination area at Guantanamo Bay....but I think it was only 24 inches wide.

The question over whether or not the FBI has human remains or not is not answerable at this point.  They are not commenting on the case.  They only commented on the fabric sample and that it's not a match to Natalee's blouse.

However, the impression I took away was based on a conversation with someone who told me there were remains, which left me rather suprised to hear from him. But, it's possible that in conversation he confused remains vs. DNA.  Honestly, I was under the impression that if there was DNA, there was remains and so I agreed with him.     

Sounds like they then turned over the Remains/DNA to Aruban Authorites,Commissioner Richardson said they would send out the samples immediately and Kyle is puzzled why it took 2-3 weeks to get to the FBI.

Quote Bladerunner...
Kyle your previous post indicates that the crew of the persistence "supervised" the collection of the contents of the trap as well as items outside of the trap. So are these "samples" what was given to the FBI by Richardson?

-In short... the only specific item mentioned as being sent was the fabric found inside the trap.  It's unclear whether what was sent to the FBI by Richardson was limited to this fabric, or included this fabric and other items.  Someone else may know more.  This is what I'm sure of.


It sounds like Richardson may or may not have been forthcoming with all of the contents of the trap.
I am a little confused. ::MonkeyConfused::  Kyle was saying that he watched the Dutch boat from the beach two days in a row for about 42 minutes.  He said that he plotted the location by using his watch and landmarks.  It doesn't even sound like Persistence was even in the same area when Panther was at the trap site.  How could Tim and the others have supervised the recovery and handling of the trap contents if Persistence wasn't at the site? ::MonkeyConfused::

Obviously that is my fear as well. They were in a difficult spot and due to their professionalism and ethics, I feel like they comply 100% with the Aruban requests and or protocol.

SNIPPING a quote from Janet:
Also the dive was on December 30, 2007.  Why did Aruba not immediately send the fabric to the FBI for forensic testing?  Why did Aruba wait unti January 22, 2008?
----------

- We were told by Richardson that he personally immediately sent the samples to the FBI for forensic analysis.
- I was suprised to hear the Jan-22nd date.  To me there are two weeks missing there.


Hello, have you or the crew examined what was sent to the FBI from Aruba to determine if the items sent were the ones found in the cage or were there any steps taken to protect the integritry of the evidence so that you would know if they destroyed, lost, or substituted evidence? Of course, nothing productive happens in Aruba very fast, especially with them striking. Beth thought they were on strike when she first met them:)

PI ... thank you.

You articulated my thoughts exactly.

I contend that there should have been an FBI agent on board to verify the evidence prior to being turned over to Aruban authorities?

Janet

The appearance of integrity is almost as important as integrity, and the Arubians have none of either as it relates to this case. Any evidence they are allowed to possess is evidence that might as well have not been discovered, other than to help complete the coverup. The sad thing is we will believe that regardless as they have lost even the perception of integrity. Surely the remains were not turned over to Aruba without even a bone or a piece of bone being kept by someone to corroborate that the evidence was protected in the chain of custody.
::MonkeyNoNo:: Sad, but true PI.  As I said before I've been trying to not be skeptical of those in charge of this investigation in Aruba.  With many from the beginning of the case replaced I so wanted to believe that things would be different.  But my stomach is telling me that nothing's changed.  Also, Kyle stated earlier that the samples that were sent to the FBI were collected on Jan 7th.  None of the cameras from Dateline, or many that were present for the Dec 30th dive were there.

O.K. has anyone ever determined who on that island has access/owns a cage that size? They would also have to have the means to release this cage in 90 ft of water without regard to the cost of the cage. It is a heavy cage so disposal would have to have been aided by something more mechanical instead of human hands.  OR could a  helicopter have accomplished this without a problem?

Perhaps they used the rope....tied to the cage and the boat and dragged it through the water....

I believe that the integrity of crew of the Persistence are above reproach in their sacrificial efforts to locate to remains of Natalee Holloway.  

As I have stated ... I fear that the crew did not comprehend the dynamics encompassing the coverup when they established a working relationship with the Aruban police ... Aruban authorities ... Aruban prosecutor ... Aruban dive team.

As PI pointed out in a previous post ... all these Arubans are accountable to Rudy Croes.  Rudy Croes ... the Aruban Justice Minister ... who believed that the vile accusations spewed forth by the two psychics against the mother and stepfather of Natalee Holloway should be investigated.

Natalee abused by stepfather Jug


This time, the local media has paid plenty of attention to the story of Dan Young and Kelly Castillo.

ORANJESTAD — Minister Rudy Croes (MEP) of Justice is of the opinion that the findings of the two American investigators Daniel Young and Kelly Castillo in the disappearance case of Natalee Holloway, must be seriously considered. The two assert that Natalee’s stepfather Jug Twitty has abused and impregnated her and that her mother Beth knew about it. The two also say that Natalee had died from an overdose two weeks after the night on the beach with Joran van der Sloot when she disappeared. “Joran is innocent”, said the investigators.

Croes is of the opinion that now that the case against the suspects Joran and the brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe has brought no results, the Public Prosecution must also consider other scenarios. Castillo and Young’s findings must therefore be seriously investigated, said the minister. “After Beth has been in Oprah’s program, it will be good to tell the other side of the story.” Oprah Winfrey has spent some time on the Holiday-matter in her show yesterday.


The Lineup
December 2, 2007


As for the second part, yes Beth Holloway came in this morning about 9 o'clock, about 1/2 hour later than expected in a police station in the city Oranjestadt and after which she was put in a conversation with the prosecuting office, Hans Mos and Dop Kruimel After that was finished both the prosecutors left the office or left the police station and by surprise the interrogators came in and (inaudible) by Dolph Richardson the chief investigator, they started interrogating her which lasted for over 5 hours.  She left not very happy and wouldn't say anything on camera. She left the police department about 2:30.

What day was Paulus and Anita observed on the beach watching the Persistence?  Was that the same day the big Dutch ship was in port?  Makes you wonder who alerted them that they felt they needed to do their own observation at the beach.

Kyle and Persistence Crew,
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I know that the seas have been rough and you must be exhausted. You will never know just how grateful so many people are for your heroic efforts. From what I hear one of the suspects and his wife watched from the beach today; I pray that God will find a way to touch their cold hearts and encourage them to do the right thing. God Bless All of You!

Theres a post on January 2nd at BFN from someone who was in Aruba and said PVDS and AVDS were walking the beach that week. I wonder if they were scoping out the persistence then also? I think it was visible from shore much of that week.

This was from earlier today as to who was or was not present when the samples were taken:

Kyle ... I am confused.  It was my understanding that it was determined by Tim Miller, Tim Trahan as well as forensic testing that nothing significant in regards to the Natalee Holloway case was found in the cage.

Janet

- Tim Miller, Tim Trahan, Dateline and all comments in the Dateline special are pertaining to information available as of the Dec-30th dive, which was visual inspection only.  The trap contents weren't sampled until the 7th of January.  Neither Tim Miller, Tim Trahan, or Dateline were on board during this time.   Further, the forensic testing wasn't completed until early February.  The FBI comment regarding the level of case significance was premature and I believe (IMO-but with good reason) it was induced by Tim Uelinger's (Dateline producer) pressuring of the FBI contact for immediate answers.  Getting the response of nothing case significant gave Dateline a legal foothold to show the trap in their 1 hr special.  This response likely came before the FBI even received the samples for testing.

Let me make myself perfectly clear...
I am not raising the issue to project my opinions, feelings or beliefs on others of what may or may not have happened.  This is all strictly for discussion purposes and NOT to raise potentially false hope.  The purpose is to share information as accurately as possible to hopefully connect some dots in an otherwise royally convoluted mess.  It's difficult to objectively analyse information and leave emotion aside, but I ask you to do that here with the information I present.  I will continue to let you know what is my opinion and what is historical.  The separation is vital.

About the Trap:
Title: Re: Natalee Case Discussion #743 3/14 -
Post by: oceanexploration on March 18, 2008, 12:22:38 PM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the issue of Trap recovery:

-After the visual inspection on 30-Dec, the initial plan discussed by the project leads and Aruban police was for us (the team on board the Persistence) to be directly involved in the recovery of the trap.  There were talks about getting the proper equipment on board the Persistence such as a suction-recovery system to sift small items from the sand.  The talks continued after Jan-7th when the samples were collected.

-Just after the 30th of Dec we were told it would take about 10-14 days to bring in a Dutch team capable of processing an underwater site. 

-Jan 9th through 13th I was off the boat and staying at the Holiday Inn for a much-needed break.  I walked up and down the beach many times a day.  On the 11th and 12th, I noticed the Dutch coast guard vessel at or VERY near the trap site.  I talked to a wind surfer instructor who claims to be at the beach every day for 8 years.  He said the boat always comes up the shore just south of where we were standing, turns away and heads offshore.  He said it never goes where it was and has never seen it stop.
The vessel was on that spot for 42 minutes that day and about the same duration the next day.  I triangulated it's position the best I could using a wrist watch and a few points on land.  It was right on the target location based on the measurements.

-When I returned to the Persistence (14-Jan) there were no more talks about a trap recovery.  When I pressed the issue, I was told "they're no longer interested in the trap or it's recovery".

-I raised the issue again in early February and the response was the same - no interest about the trap and no plans to recover.

I assume one of three scenarios: 1) They genuinely aren't interested in the trap, 2) They are/were interested and will take care of it themselves (or have already done so) and don't want us informed or involved, or 3) They already recovered the trap (or processed the site) and don't want us to know for whatever reason, good or otherwise.


I hope I've helped with your questions!

Goodnight Janet!

Seaports of Aruba
 
Mr. J. A. (Alfonso) Boekhoudt, Managing Director
Aruba Ports Authority NV
L.G. Smith Boulevard 23
Oranjestad, Aruba, Netherlands Antilles
Telephone: (297) 582-6633
FAX: (297) 583-2896
TLX: 5120 HAFAR NA
Aruba has three seaports. The port of Oranjestad, Aruba's container port and cruise ship terminal, is accessible to all types of vessels. It has a depth of 38 feet MLW and 4,070 feet of docking space. The container terminal has a 50-ton gantry crane with a maximum capacity of 60,000 TEUs containers per year, and a 140-ton mobile crane. There are also two roll-on roll-off ramps, and facilities for 36 reefer connections are available.

Barcadera is the industrial port with a depth of 36 feet and 1,148 feet of docking space. The Aruba Ports Authority administers the ports of Oranjestad and Barcadera while the Coastal Aruba Refining Company NV administers the port of San Nicolas (Sint Nicolaas), hosting the oil terminals and two reef berths.

Perhaps inquiries to "The Aruba Ports Authority" could determine the names of the five (5) "decked fishing vessels" used in Aruba's fishing industry and their "catch" capabilities  (as listed in the earth watch site):
 
Decked Fishery Vessels . The term "fishery vessel" refers to "mobile floating objects of any kind and size, operating in freshwater, areas, and used for catching, harvesting, searching, transporting, landing, preserving and/or processing fish, shellfish and other plants."
Decked vessels are those that have a fixed structural deck covering the entire hull above the deepest operating waterline, include trawlers, purse seiners, gill netters, long liners, trap setters, other seiners and liners, multipurpose vessels, dredgers and nonfishing vessels such as motherships, fish carriers, fishery research vessels, etc.

I believe that a fish cage the size that we saw in the
photos would require welding.
Maybe we should find out where the Persistence crew
had the model of the trap made.
I am not sure where one would go to have welding done.
I would go to a family member or an artist friend.

I am totally trying to read between the lines on this...

Is the Aruban Coast Guard part of ALE? 

Who is the commanding officer over the Coast Guard?

Is that an elected Official?

Is it Croes?  Or is it even higher up -- like Oduber?

the two largest coalition parties (PvdA/CDA) of the dutch government are calling for jobless antillians and arubans to not allow them entry to the netherlands or even send them back.

dutch justice minister hirsch ballin is already working on a proposal to send criminal antillians and arubans back.

About the Trap:

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

On the issue of Trap recovery:

-After the visual inspection on 30-Dec, the initial plan discussed by the project leads and Aruban police was for us (the team on board the Persistence) to be directly involved in the recovery of the trap.  There were talks about getting the proper equipment on board the Persistence such as a suction-recovery system to sift small items from the sand.  The talks continued after Jan-7th when the samples were collected.

-Just after the 30th of Dec we were told it would take about 10-14 days to bring in a Dutch team capable of processing an underwater site. 

-Jan 9th through 13th I was off the boat and staying at the Holiday Inn for a much-needed break.  I walked up and down the beach many times a day.  On the 11th and 12th, I noticed the Dutch coast guard vessel at or VERY near the trap site.  I talked to a wind surfer instructor who claims to be at the beach every day for 8 years.  He said the boat always comes up the shore just south of where we were standing, turns away and heads offshore.  He said it never goes where it was and has never seen it stop.
The vessel was on that spot for 42 minutes that day and about the same duration the next day.  I triangulated it's position the best I could using a wrist watch and a few points on land.  It was right on the target location based on the measurements.

-When I returned to the Persistence (14-Jan) there were no more talks about a trap recovery.  When I pressed the issue, I was told "they're no longer interested in the trap or it's recovery".

-I raised the issue again in early February and the response was the same - no interest about the trap and no plans to recover.

I assume one of three scenarios: 1) They genuinely aren't interested in the trap, 2) They are/were interested and will take care of it themselves (or have already done so) and don't want us informed or involved, or 3) They already recovered the trap (or processed the site) and don't want us to know for whatever reason, good or otherwise.


I hope I've helped with your questions!

Goodnight Janet!

Texasmom ... I did read this post.  I was shocked.

Thank you very much.

Goodnight Texasmom.

I am totally trying to read between the lines on this...

Is the Aruban Coast Guard part of ALE? 

Who is the commanding officer over the Coast Guard?

Is that an elected Official?

Is it Croes?  Or is it even higher up -- like Oduber?

Antilles and Aruban Coast Guard is part of Royal Netherlands Navy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Netherlands_Navy

commanding officer (CZMCARIB) is P. W. Lenselink, a Dutchie.
http://www.marine.nl/overdemarine/admiraliteitsraad/c-carib/

he is commander of the Navy in the Caribbean area and also director of the Coast Guard of the Dutch Antilles and Aruba.

in june 2007 he took over from F. Sijtsma.

Yes, the Mormons have a great database. Info only good as those who submit lineage, or those two guys on the bikes have time to find. There are others.

Perhaps, to find more fruit, one might need to seek another family tree.

Maybe shake the tree of a retired ex-polis and see what kinda flavour falls out.

Who knows...it may lead to the fifth and a monkey.

Just thinking about the masterful monkey researchers here & the location of (dirtyhand?) Van der straaten following his departure from Bonaire would be rather interesting as the excuse for his noncontinuance on Bonaire that was given was due to him belonging to the Dutch.  Didn't Jossey Mansur indicate that (dirtyhand)Van der stratten a week or so ago was on the island of LieAruba?

I'm telling ya, it's like LieAruba's playbook is a copycat of that which is currently happening in the USA.

Nancy Grace for June 27, 2005, CNNHN
Aired June 17, 2005 - 20:00:00   ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

NANCY GRACE, HOST: Tonight, breaking news. Eighteen-year-old Alabama beauty Natalee Holloway disappeared into thin air during her high school senior trip. And tonight, the mystery intensifies on the tiny island of Aruba. In the last 24 hours, a fourth suspect behind bars tonight in connection with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. No body has been found. Is there a hope this girl is still alive?

snip

GRACE: Good evening, everybody. I`m Nancy Grace. And I want to thank you for being with us tonight.
snip
 But first, breaking news in the Natalee Holloway case. Aruba police take a fourth suspect into custody tonight.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY`S MOTHER: The frustration is unimaginable. It`s unimaginable. And I have waited, and I have waited, and I have waited, and I have listened, and I have heard lie after lie after lie unfold. And I have to have some answers, and I better get them soon.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
GRACE: That`s Natalee`s mother.
Tonight, in Atlanta, defense attorney Lisa Wayne; in New York, defense attorney David Schwartz; psychiatrist Dr. Joseph Deltito is with us.
But first, let`s go down to Aruba and CNN correspondent Karl Penhaul. Karl, an incredible development, yet a fourth suspect behind bars tonight. Why?

KARL PENHAUL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The fourth suspect that has been arrested has been named as Steven Croes, Steve Croes. Police arrested him around dawn.
What the chief police commissioner, Jan Van Der Straaten, told me when I talked to him was that his name had come up during an interrogation of the three young suspects already in custody for around ten days. What we`re also hearing is that this arrest could have been based on some kind of electronic surveillance.

Steve Croes is a D.J. on the tattoo party boat. That`s 150-foot three-deck catamaran that sails just off the west coast of Aruba with partygoers on board, usually in the evenings. And he is the D.J. on that ship. But his boss, Marcus Williams (sic), has also told us that he is an experienced seaman, as well, Nancy.

GRACE: You know what, Karl Penhaul, a lot of what you`re telling me, very, very interesting the fact that no sight nor sound, hide nor hair of Natalee Holloway, and you`re saying this guy D.J.s on a cruise ship. Explain that. What, does he go out for the evening, they party hardy, and then come back?

PENHAUL: Exactly that cruise ship, called the tattoo party boat, like I say, a 110-foot catamaran, that usually leaves the pier in front of the Aruba Grand Hotel. That`s about 300 yards down the beach from the Holiday Inn where Natalee Holloway was staying. That boat leaves most evenings at around 8 o`clock in the evening, gets back about 12 o`clock.

The staff, the crew of the boat, are usually leaving the pier and going home around 1 o`clock. But according to the owner, that boat generally doesn`t go out on a Sunday night, unless, of course, there`s a special party booked. You`ll remember that Natalee Holloway went missing late Sunday night, very early Monday morning -- Nancy?

GRACE: Karl, do we know if there was a special party booked that Sunday night that she went missing?

PENHAUL: We don`t have that answer yet. We are looking into that to see what the boat`s movements were. We do know from the owner, Marcus Williams (sic), that Steve Croes did have a key to the boat. But the owner also tells us that the boat has a special electronic security system on it and he doesn`t believe that Steve Croes would have been able to take the boat without his permission. And he has described Steve Croes as a model employee, Nancy.

GRACE: Hmm. Let me quickly go to David Schwartz, defense attorney. David, these three guys, Van Der Sloot and the other two young guys that took Natalee, it was not against her will, but went with her from the bar that night. At this juncture, they`re being held separately. They`ve not been able to meet with their family.

David, don`t you believe they`ll be willing to say anything to pin this on somebody else, not saying they did it, but to just get the heat off them?

DAVID SCHWARTZ, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well, at this point, from a defense standpoint, Nancy, they should just shut their mouths at this point. They`re being detained on a murder case. And you know, they should have the right not to speak.

Now, I don`t understand how it works in Aruba. Every time somebody`s name gets popped around, they could go ahead and arrest people.

GRACE: We don`t know that. We don`t know that. These three people have been...

(CROSSTALK)

SCHWARTZ: We know that about the two security guards, Nancy. We know that they went out and arrested these two security guards. I`d still like to know what evidence they had against these two security guards to hold them from the time that they did.

GRACE: Dr. Joseph Deltito, these three have been behind bars for a considerable period of time. I doubt very seriously that just because somebody`s name pops up they get arrested. Look how long it took to get these three behind bars. But what I`m thinking about right now, remember the two Kalpoe brothers spoke to the security guards?

Everybody, you were just looking at a shot of Van Der Sloot, the judge`s son, and the Kalpoe brothers. These three are the ones behind bars in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. We know that they were willing to lay the blame on the security guards, OK? So how do we know anything`s different with this fourth suspect?

JOSEPH DELTITO, PSYCHIATRIST: No, we don`t know what they`re saying, and they may just have offered a name, as you say, just to get attention away from them.

GRACE: Heat off them.

DELTITO: You really don`t know. And we don`t know where this guy, Croes, fits into the whole story right now. So it`s speculation based on not much evidence that we can really work with.

GRACE: Dr. Deltito, take a listen to this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TWITTY: I really didn`t speak with all three of the suspects. Only one of the suspects approached the vehicle that I was seated in. And what was given to me from him was a very condescending, arrogant, and very cold and somewhat powerful attitude.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: That`s Natalee`s mother. She is vowing not to leave the island without her girl, Natalee Holloway.

Back to Karl Penhaul, CNN correspondent there in Aruba. Karl, you mentioned electronic surveillance. Now, what that means to me, in America, would either be a wiretap, a GPS locator. What kind of electronic surveillance has led to the arrest of the fourth suspect, Steve Croes?

PENHAUL: Well, we don`t know for sure that it was, in fact, electronic surveillance. That is one theory that is being put out, because police themselves are being tight-lipped.

The police commissioner, Van Der Straaten, did tell me that the name came up during interrogation in part of the investigation. When I got back to him and asked him about the possibility of electronic surveillance, we wouldn`t go further into this. Of course, we do know that the investigators and police are playing cards very close to their chest in order not to prejudice their investigation at this stage, Nancy.

GRACE: Lisa Wayne, when we`re talking about electronic surveillance, we`re normally talking about a wiretap, that could be a cell phone, a home phone, even a pay phone that someone is known to use.

And Lisa, another issue is, from the time that these three young men were taken into custody, and now, many days later, almost two weeks later, that is plenty of time to get authority for a wiretap and to listen to it, Lisa Wayne.

LISA WAYNE, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: I agree. I mean, maybe someone`s phone number came up on one of their phones. Maybe they`re trying to set up some phone calls. I mean, you know, it seems like the police are casting a very broad net.

We don`t know if that`s the pressure of this mother, and they need some leads, and they`re trying to develop things as they come. But maybe they set up a phone call. Maybe they got a phone number off one of these kids` phones. And that could be the surveillance.
GRACE: Very quickly, back to Karl Penhaul, Karl, before we go to break, what can you tell me about this fourth suspect, his age, his family situation, what?

PENHAUL: He`s a 26-year-old, originally born on Curacao, but he has lived on Aruba for many years now. He`s a recent divorcee. He`s the father of a 2-year-old son. He was living in the town of Santa Cruz. That`s a town in the center of the island near the national park. He was living at that house with his grandfather and his grandmother, living next door to his uncle. His uncle is a retired police chief inspector, Nancy.

GRACE: Karl, what if any connection is there between -- this is a grown man, he`s a 26-year-old divorced father -- and these three young guys who are partying hardy at Carlos and Charlie`s. What`s the connection?

PENHAUL: Police and prosecutors haven`t told us of any connection. But talking to Steven Croes` boss, Marcus Williams, he says that he believes that he knew one of the Kalpoe brothers through the Internet Cafe. Now, we know that Deepak, the eldest of the Kalpoe brothers, the 21-year- old, worked at the Cyberzone Internet Cafe. And it seems as it`s there where he knew Steve Croes, Nancy.

GRACE: We are live in Aruba tonight with CNN correspondent Karl Penhaul. In a stunning new development in the Natalee Holloway disappearance, a fourth suspect behind bars tonight. Is there a break in the case? Please stay with us.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TWITTY: When I say it`s just beginning, I think everyone can see. Everyone can see that. It`s just beginning, because we don`t even have one answer yet. We have to find Natalee. They have to find our daughter.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DAVE HOLLOWAY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY`S FATHER: The people here has been have been absolutely amazing. We`ve been with Red Cross on some occasions. And those ladies have been awesome. And it`s truly -- the whole island wants to be helpful and wants resolution to this case.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: That is Natalee Holloway`s father, also there on Aruba.

Welcome back, everybody. A stunning development in the Natalee Holloway search. As you know, the Alabama beauty, also an honors student with a full scholarship at University of Alabama waiting on her upon her return, went missing on her senior trip. Tonight, a fourth suspect behind bars.

Straight down to Aruba and CNN correspondent Karl Penhaul. Karl, take a listen to what Steve Croes` employer had to say.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MARCUS HIGGINS, FOURTH SUSPECT`S EMPLOYER: He had told me that he had a friendship with one of the -- a superficial friendship, in the sense that I believe they went to the same Internet caf' and that he did know one of the suspects. And that was all that he had ever told me about his association with this disappearance.
(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: You know, Karl Penhaul, it disturbed a lot of legal experts that it took so long for Aruban police to seize the car Natalee left the bar in that night, the night of her disappearance. So I understand that, today, Steve Croes, the fourth suspect arrested, they`ve already searched his home. Is that true?
PENHAUL: We don`t know how thorough the search of his home was. By the time that we arrived at Steve Croes` home in midmorning, possibly four hours, five hours after the arrest, there was no sign of police there. Steve Croes` uncle told us that police came and left pretty quickly.

What we do know is that Steve Croes` car, a black Honda, was still parked in the driveway outside the house. What we also know is that tattoo party boat, where Steve Croes was D.J., has not been searched by police. And Steve Croes` employer, Marcus Wiggins, not Williams, as I said earlier, but Wiggins, has said that he has not been contacted by the police to give any references or, in fact, to ask any more about the boat itself, Nancy.

GRACE: Karl, I`m stunned. History is repeating itself. Aruba police, listen! Search the guy`s car. Search the cruise ship. Talk to everybody this guy knows.
David Schwartz, have you ever seen anything like it? You think this guy may be connected to the disappearance of an American girl. They take him into custody, and his car is sitting there in the driveway. Hello? Search it! Fiber, hair, semen, blood, fingerprints, same thing for the boat. What are they thinking?
SCHWARTZ: You stole my thunder, Nancy. I totally agree with you. I`ve never heard of anything like this. Where I practice, the arrest is made, the search warrants are in place, and then they search either the house or the car. Sure, there`s evidence -- there is potential evidence there.

There could be DNA, there could be hair fibers, there could be semen, there could be condoms, there could be e-mails, computers, anything.

GRACE: Anything.

SCHWARTZ: And also, with Van Der Sloot, don`t forget, it took them ten days. What is going on there? How could it take them ten days? It`s OK for them to detain Van Der Sloot, but then again, the attorney general stated that he would be acting like a cowboy if he just ran into the house. I don`t understand it.

GRACE: Well, that is what search warrants are for.

Back to Karl Penhaul, Karl, you mention the Internet cafe. Do we have any idea whether Natalee Holloway logged on to her e-mail while she was down there? You know, there is the Internet cafes, cruise ships have Internet for Americans that want to use it. Any idea about that?

PENHAUL: We don`t have any exact feed on that, Nancy. What I can tell you about the Internet is that, during the search of the Kalpoe brothers` houses around ten days ago, the CPU, the hard drive of a computer, was seized from that house and taken away.

A law enforcement source close to this investigation has said that that computer is still being searched. Internet information is being analyzed. But that source didn`t tell us whether that has produced any leads.

What we also know is that Joran Van Der Sloot, on a number of occasions, went to the Cyberzone Internet Cafe to meet his friend, Deepak Kalpoe, who is an employee at the Cyberzone Cafe. And what we also understand, from the owner of the Cyberzone Caf', is that none of the hard drives or none of the computers from the Cyberzone Cafe where Deepak worked have been impounded or seized, Nancy.

GRACE: Oh, when will it end? You know, I hate to keep comparing it to the American investigation, but the first thing you do is look at the e- mail, the hard drives of all of the computers that these suspects had access to.

furthermore he says it is not all that clear if Hendrik Croes did drive into the police man.
Mos has wait for evidence for that.
but it is clear that he drove on afterwards, but that alone is not enough to keep him detained.

so Hendrik Croes did a 'run', now the OM has to find out if it was a 'hit'.

yes it doesn't make much sense what Mos said there.
seems difficult to spin this one but he is giving it a try. he has to because it is the brother of his boss.
again it seems like he is trying all sorts of things to get the offender of the hook and blame it on the victim.

Rufo Solagnier - Retired Police Chief/Uncle to Steve Croes/Lives Next Door to Steve Croes who lives with his grandparents or did as of his arrest in 2005

Is Steve Croes the one we needed to shake from the tree? 

Is Steve Croes the ex/monkey?

Or is Rufo the one we needed to shake from the tree?

Is Rufo the ex/monkey?

 ::MonkeyConfused::

The ex-monkey is not a Crows, but is related to Crows.

Steve Crows is not the ex-monkey, but maybe related to one.

Shake the Solagnier + genaruba and an ex-monkey will fall out of the tree.

Rufo cannot find a razor, think he could type?

Two words above to be searched with a "+" in between. Does the s-engine still work?

about this Hendrik Croes hit-and-run case:

http://www.24ora.com/content/view/4225/5
Quote
here Hans Mos says it would have been smarter for the police man to have worn a police uniform while he was directing the traffic. just a badge is difficult to recognise for approaching traffic. it is not that he had to wear a uniform by law but it would have been smarter.

furthermore he says it is not all that clear if Hendrik Croes did drive into the police man.
Mos has wait for evidence for that.
but it is clear that he drove on afterwards, but that alone is not enough to keep him detained.

so Hendrik Croes did a 'run', now the OM has to find out if it was a 'hit'.
and the police are smart if they wear uniforms while directing traffic.
Thanks Caesu! What the heck difference does it make if the guy had on a uniform or not....if You hit someone with Your car You don't drive away...  ::MonkeyConfused:: Oh Yah I forgot were talking about Aruba.... ::MonkeyEek::

yes it doesn't make much sense what Mos said there.
seems difficult to spin this one but he is giving it a try. he has to because it is the brother of his boss.
again it seems like he is trying all sorts of things to get the offender of the hook and blame it on the victim.
Yep! Protecting the Offender instead of the victim.....  ::MonkeyConfused::

Did the search, followed the trail, came up empty.  Done.  All of this looking for possible 5th suspect.  I only know the proper names of very few current monkeys, surely wouldn't recognize the name of a former one.  Search engine works fine as always.  I'm just not the right person to try to solve this one so I'll leave it to someone else.

The search for Natalee Holloway
It's the story you haven't heard: the tale of two parents who, even now, willgo anywhere -- and endure anything -- to find answers.
TRANSCRIPT
By Chris Hansen
Correspondent
NBC News
updated 5:20 p.m. PT, Fri., Feb. 22, 2008


<snipped>

On Dec. 30, off the coast of Aruba, divers from the Aruban police force and the research vessel Persistence were about to make a crucial dive on a promising target in the search for Natalee Holloway.

The researchers had discovered a fish trap about 90 feet below the surface in almost the exact spot search expert Tim Miller had theorized Natalee’s body might be.
 
Team leader Tim Trahan suited up to join the Aruban police divers. As Tim Miller wished him well, the divers hit the water and the ROV was sent down to capture what would happen for everyone watching on board.

(On the boat)

Brandon: We have visual on divers and target.

Slowly the divers worked their way down to the trap. They had been instructed to give a thumbs up or thumbs down.  The atmosphere in the survey room was tense, and nerves were raw as Miller, the Aruban authorities and the crew of the Persistence waited for word of what exactly was in the trap. The divers approached the target and signaled above. And then...

(On the boat) No it's thumbs down. Negative, not it.  

Crushing disappointment.

(On the boat) Tim Miller: Divers coming up right now. I don't know it looked as promising today as it did last night or before.

Miller: Nothing?

Trahan: No.

Chris Hansen: That had to be a crushing blow.

Tim Miller: It was a crushing blow.
 
Now Tim Miller had to deliver that same crushing blow to Natalee’s parents.

Chris Hansen: How hard is it for you to dial their numbers and tell them that this in fact is not the break in the case we-- we hoped for?

Tim Miller: Probably one of the hardest calls I ever made. Probably one of the hardest … probably should have never made the first one. But everything looked right at the time.
 
Natalee’s father was at home in Mississippi when the call came.

Chris Hansen: What was it like for you to, once again, have a setback?
 
Dave Holloway: That's probably about the time that-- the chest pains intensified to an extreme. I mean, how many times can I take this?

Beth Holloway: You know, it's a disappointment. But, you have to look at the magnitude and the sacrifices being made even to get to that point.

Chris Hansen: You didn't know these folks before this happened. What do they represent to you now?

Dave Holloway: They represent heroes to me.
 
To be sure there was no relevant evidence, material from the trap was given to the FBI.

Tim Miller
On the Record w/ Greta
February 27, 2008


Greta: Tim are they absolutely certain that this is not a piece of clothing belonging to Natalee Holloway?

MILLER: The report we got is the DNA that came back did not match Natalee's DNA  and when we located that it looked like more than just a piece of cloth and I mean we, we felt as though we seen a skull in there. We got the Aruba authorities involved, they felt there was something in there, we dove on it and the thing is that's only 1 of over 170 targets out there we still have to investigate, so we've got a lot of work ahead of us.

The Aruban Police requested the FBI Laboratory to process the cloth, because the Laboratory already had a sample of the exact match of the type of material of Natalee Holloway’s blouse. The FBI Laboratory received that material on the 22nd of January 2008.

On the 25th of February 2008, the Prosecutors’ Office received the official report from the FBI Laboratory that showed that the two materials were not a match.
Now I'm confused.My understanding(from Tim Equusearch)was that they would give the thumbs up/down depending on IF there was a body in the trap.They right away gave a thumbs down but now Kyle is saying there WAS a body found in the trap?Why the thumbs down then?

About the Trap:
Title: Re: Natalee Case Discussion #743 3/14 -
Post by: oceanexploration on March 18, 2008, 12:22:38 PM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the issue of Trap recovery:

-After the visual inspection on 30-Dec, the initial plan discussed by the project leads and Aruban police was for us (the team on board the Persistence) to be directly involved in the recovery of the trap.  There were talks about getting the proper equipment on board the Persistence such as a suction-recovery system to sift small items from the sand.  The talks continued after Jan-7th when the samples were collected.

-Just after the 30th of Dec we were told it would take about 10-14 days to bring in a Dutch team capable of processing an underwater site. 

-Jan 9th through 13th I was off the boat and staying at the Holiday Inn for a much-needed break.  I walked up and down the beach many times a day.  On the 11th and 12th, I noticed the Dutch coast guard vessel at or VERY near the trap site.  I talked to a wind surfer instructor who claims to be at the beach every day for 8 years.  He said the boat always comes up the shore just south of where we were standing, turns away and heads offshore.  He said it never goes where it was and has never seen it stop.
The vessel was on that spot for 42 minutes that day and about the same duration the next day.  I triangulated it's position the best I could using a wrist watch and a few points on land.  It was right on the target location based on the measurements.

-When I returned to the Persistence (14-Jan) there were no more talks about a trap recovery.  When I pressed the issue, I was told "they're no longer interested in the trap or it's recovery".

-I raised the issue again in early February and the response was the same - no interest about the trap and no plans to recover.

I assume one of three scenarios: 1) They genuinely aren't interested in the trap, 2) They are/were interested and will take care of it themselves (or have already done so) and don't want us informed or involved, or 3) They already recovered the trap (or processed the site) and don't want us to know for whatever reason, good or otherwise.


I hope I've helped with your questions!

Goodnight Janet!

Texasmom ... I did read this post.  I was shocked.

Thank you very much.

Goodnight Texasmom.

I am totally trying to read between the lines on this...

Is the Aruban Coast Guard part of ALE? 

Who is the commanding officer over the Coast Guard?

Is that an elected Official?

Is it Croes?  Or is it even higher up -- like Oduber?

Antilles and Aruban Coast Guard is part of Royal Netherlands Navy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Netherlands_Navy

commanding officer (CZMCARIB) is P. W. Lenselink, a Dutchie.
http://www.marine.nl/overdemarine/admiraliteitsraad/c-carib/

he is commander of the Navy in the Caribbean area and also director of the Coast Guard of the Dutch Antilles and Aruba.

in june 2007 he took over from F. Sijtsma.
http://antilliaans.caribiana.nl/antillen/car20070629_afscheid_CZM
http://www.marine.nl/overdemarine/admiraliteitsraad/czmcarib/index.html


Caesu…Thanks…I did some checking on the ‘Aruban’ Coast guard a while back, and came up fairly empty. Checked on Sijtsma and the only thing of interest I found was a reference to what appeared to be a military connection to ‘Carib’ and ‘Southern Cross’, may have been the names of ships, pertaining to Shango and Simian. It’s posted in that thread somewhere…LOL…more useless information!

IIRC what peeked my interest was Joe Tacopina’s reference to the Aruban Coast Guard checking out the pay phone at the Marriott Hotel. He stated this in an interview after Joran said he used this pay phone. I still can’t grasp what the heck the Aruban Coast Guard would be doing checking out a pay phone.

There is also van Loon, and IIRC this is from Beth’s book, saying that the Coast Guard had checked his boat.

Texasmom…I have searched Rufo Solognier and the other Solognier listed in the Dr. Phil documents more than once. Probably spent hours. I have probably searched 90% of the names mentioned in this case. I know that you have done the same, hours and hours of research I mean.

Right now I am a little perturbed, after obviously wasting my time reading back this morning as I did not learn a darn thing about either of them or Steve Croes that I did not already know.

Personally I have shared most of what I have found and there is probably enough ‘useless information’ from me in the ‘Shango thread’ to write a book.

I learned from a source that there is only one place/person(?) on Aruba where a large commercial fish trap would have originated.  This should make it a reasonable venture figuring out who's trap we found.  The next logical move would be after finding them, asking them to explain their missing trap.  1) How did they lose it  2) why was it lost where it was 3) what were it's contents when it was "lost" and 3) what boat was used to transport the trap.

Any ideas of who may have possessed such a trap?
Approx. 7.5 x 7.5 x 2.5ft, and 200-300lbs, hundreds of feet of rope complete with 4-point rigging. 

Is it possible to tell form the condition of the trap how long it might have been at its current location?

Thanks.

It's impossible to tell with any precision, but we are in agreement that the trap was not recently dropped at the time of it's discovery.  By recent, I mean disposed the same season as when it was found.  From the level of marine growth and decomposition of the trap's rigging, tubular metal frame, and square coated wire mesh, the time involved would be on the order of years, but not 10s of years.  Neither the condition of the trap or state of the items found inside the trap preclude a disposal at or near the time of Natalee's disappearance. 



It sounds like Kyle is describing a trap that would be a litte larger than a king-size bed.  Something this big would never fit in Koen's boat.  It would fit on the Tatoo. A trap this large wouldn't be easy to hide on a boat other than the fishing boat that usually carries the trap.

I fear the the crew of the Persistence were not fully aware of the dynamics encompassing the established coverup in the Aruban investigation ... the coverup to protect Joran and Paulus van der Sloot from implication ... the coverup that has prevented justice from prevail for an American citizen ... the coverup that has forced the family of Natalee Holloway to ride a roller coaster from H--- for almost three years.

TWITTY: Well, Rita, like I said, we‘ve been worried as early as June 1 when we saw torn statements at a police station. We‘ve had falsified documents. I mean, we‘ve seen key elements omitted from uniformed police officers‘ statements. We‘ve had a D.E.A. whose statement was never taken.

MICHELLE: One of Joran's and PVDS's alibis was that Joran was picked up at the McDonald's. PVDS originally told you the first night you met him that he picked Joran up at 4:00 a.m., but he later gave a statement that he picked Joran up at 11:00 p.m. Do you know if there are security cameras in the McDonald's parking lot to prove this claim?

BETH: On June 5, we asked officials to check to see if there were security cameras, and to this day, nothing has ever been done. No one has looked into it.

TWITTY: ... Those people that were with me that night, had they taken our statements at least a week after it happened, we would have already had the answer. But when they take my statement 33 days later, and they take the other guys‘ statements that were with me and ladies that were with me, you know, like 19 days later, it‘s like they didn‘t want to find the truth.

Obviously that is my fear as well. They were in a difficult spot and due to their professionalism and ethics, I feel like they comply 100% with the Aruban requests and or protocol. I guess I wish we had one unhonorable person on board who would have taken samples of each peice of evidence, secretly. Maybe it would not be admissable in court, but we would know:) But, I will get back after I talk to Beth. I haven't heard anything about even any insignifcant evidence though.


It's good to see you back PE..I've missed you!

I have to leave for work.  This is a current as I could get the genealogy tree, so far.  I'll do some more searching this evening.  Have a good day everyone.

SS...Thanks for your work on this...

What day was Paulus and Anita observed on the beach watching the Persistence?  Was that the same day the big Dutch ship was in port?  Makes you wonder who alerted them that they felt they needed to do their own observation at the beach.


That was the first question that popped into my head, as well.

2ndly...anything turned over to the Aruban authorities labled as potential evidence is long gone now. It probably took them a while to substitute the evidence given to them w/ bogus evidence to send to the FBI. I can't believe after all this time that anything so valuable would be put into the hands of the Arubans.  ::MonkeyNoNo:: I am going to take some time today and re-read Kyle's posts from yesterday to see if I have this right.

And we all know Obscuregawdess is an online friend of Joran that has been in contact with him a lot recently through Myspace.....

So my guess: he is in Germany...

From oceanexploraton:

As of the 2nd week of Feb, this is what I had learned from the FBI:

The contents of the trap were being actively investigated.  The forensic results of a fabric sample showed the fabric sample was not a match to Natalee's blouse and that no DNA match to Natalee was found within that fabric sample.  Human remains were found, but the FBI was not and would not comment on the case.  The FBI did not comment on the remains, but rather the fabric sample.

Kyle also mentions a Dutch "recovery" boat in the area of the trap site.


Human remains were found, but a thumbs down sign was given by the divers.

OK ,"Natalee's blouse and that no DNA match to Natalee was found within that fabric sample "
why would it they said it wasn't the origianl shirt that Natalee had on. It was a copy of that shirt. Human remains were found I'm not getting this.[/b]

I am totally trying to read between the lines on this...

Is the Aruban Coast Guard part of ALE? 

Who is the commanding officer over the Coast Guard?

Is that an elected Official?


Antilles and Aruban Coast Guard is part of Royal Netherlands Navy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Netherlands_Navy

commanding officer (CZMCARIB) is P. W. Lenselink, a Dutchie.
http://www.marine.nl/overdemarine/admiraliteitsraad/c-carib/

he is commander of the Navy in the Caribbean area and also director of the Coast Guard of the Dutch Antilles and Aruba.

in june 2007 he took over from F. Sijtsma.

Is Peter de Witte still involved with the Aruban Coastguard??  OE said he saw the Dutch ship, so if there was further recovery, it was probably by the Dutch ship (Panter)? But I'm still curious if the Aruban Coastguard has the same lead as the KPA (aruban police).

Peter de Witte, acting Director of Aruban & NA Coast Guard named new chief of police of Aruba
 
Peter de Witte has been named the new Police Chief of Aruba following the departure of Ronny Bernadina. Peter de Witte is the acting Director of the Coast Guard for the Netherland Antilles and Aruba. Wonder if Peter de Witte will do anything that differs in the investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway or will it be different chief, same old story?

Goodnight everyone.  I am wiped out after Kyle's information about the cage and Fin's cryptic messages. ::MonkeyNoNo:: ::MonkeyConfused::

It's wiping me out as well  ::MonkeyConfused:: So many possibilities but so little information :( I can't help but think of Buddy Larson,Max De Vries and Gary Makings and wonder where they vainshed to also?

Theres a post on January 2nd at BFN from someone who was in Aruba and said PVDS and AVDS were walking the beach that week. I wonder if they were scoping out the persistence then also? I think it was visible from shore much of that week.


*******
that may have been me posting that I saw Anita and Paul on the beach.
I have seen them many times walking on the beach on Sat mornings.
The persistence was not visible from shore without binoculars  most of the time

question - how does someone in the coast guard become polis chief?

I would think that job would go to someone ranked as deputy - like Dompig, or a First Class Lieutenant, or commissioner.

The coast guard has nothing to do with the polis corps - in my opinion. So why did that happen? and has it happened before?

If you look at the photo I posted above, de Witte is sandwiched between the two people most likely denying Natalee her Justice.

as they say -  a picture is worth a thousand words.
