With regard to drug dealers, traps, and boats on hotel row...

I wonder if Aruba retained the radar records for the weeks following Natalee's disappearance?  Perhaps they have record of all boats/ships in that area in the night hours? 

Maybe they could peak a bit and let us know who was out there?  Maybe they could check the months previous to the Persistence's arrival too?

42 Inch Diagonal Seems to Work

With an allowance for knee drop off -- height of superimposed image would be 36 inches.  Add 18 for knee to heel.  54 inches.  

Estimated and must allow for poor photo re pro, distance changes underwater, decomposition if applicable.

Natalee = 64 inches in height.

Nice work Klaas.

Looks like it makes reasonable tolerances.

Not sure why they would want to cooperate and check?  They've spent a whole lot of money and time covering everything up.

When I see those trap/cage pictures a few things come to mind.

What if the body were contained in a tarp when first disposed of?  Nothing in, nothing out but water and bacteria?  

On the lines of absorbant paper towels, what if the body were also wrapped in something like a sheet first?  Maybe that helped keep the pieces together and in that white shape?

Could the trap have been moved?  Towed to that location from another place?

If someone knew the Persistence was to search that area, and they wanted the body found, but not intact, could they have removed the covering and let nature take it's course over a span of a few months?  

Maybe that the white stuff in the photos?  Maybe they scattered stuff outside the cage as well?  

I wonder if they recorded all the evidence gathering?

Hammer - yes I wanted to see if it was possible.  I really didn't think it was until I determined the approx diag inches.  It is/was possible but of course, no way to say who's body was in the trap.

Yes it could.  Say if the trap was initially in much shallower waters it could have been towed further out.

What comes to mind is that someone want's to solve this case--crack it wide open in all it's glory.

If not radar, what about cell phone calls that week?  We know there was a lot of traffic between PVDS & Jan VDS, but from where?  Land lines?  Beach?  Moko?  Bird Sanctuary?  Out in the ocean, away from the hotels?

I wonder who's cell phone records were studied?  How many people of interest are there that we don't know about?


I apologize for any mean posts I have made this evening.  I don't know what I was thinking and mostly things never rhyme for me.

And they are in the center front of the cage, vs, where the items were located which is back left, how could they even react that quickly?  I agree with Tim, bull shit.

I have looked at that many times and thought it might be just the
rubber or leather sole of the sandal, with the rest rotted away.
But then I would think....why didn't they bag that?

Klass, you can probably help me out with this. Having a hard time figuring out how many little squares there are within the 30" area, but if my math is correct, what could be a sandal would only be around 3" long? Maybe I'm figureing it wrong.

There is another thing that comes to mind...

The cage/trap by the fishermen's huts, was it damaged like this trap appears to be?  With rips in the back?  Did anyone ever ask the fishermen what condition the trap was in?

Maybe this isn't the same trap?  Did the fishermen ever comment on the trap in the video and the trap that was stolen?

Sorry if I upset anyone with this but I just found it where Blonde is putting all the details, it was written by Kermit.

What I know is: I gave a very detailed document that was given to Kathy & Clauseens (aka bestbuddy) when they went to Aruba. I later learned that it was turned over to DOMPIG. I thought it was Dave who turned it to Dompig. My gosh, it had so much information in that it isn't funny.

Rob, may know more then I do about that.
First of all I want to know what you sent us with, I didn't even know who you were until last week.  Second of all, the only thing given to Dompig was a piece of that goop from the dunes area of rocks, and that wasn't by me, that was by TM.  There were 2 pieces of it.  That was why the dunes was shut down while we were there for another search of the dunes.  So now that we have this straight, what would Rob know if he doesn't talk to me?  What was so detailed that you would let it go?  And who did you give it to?  It was not me.  The only thing I got before leaving was a camcorder from Funnysmart, and that was returned to her along with a copy of what I filmed.  Do not get me mixed up with other people.  IF you gave it to BB, she didn't see Dompig either, so I don't know where you are getting this info from.  Please do take that off this site.  And leave me alone, you are now considered harassing me.

That photo is one that Carpe Noctem posted a while back and I saved it, he is great with photos, videos, and an amazing warrior for Justice for Natalee.  He has been gone a while now and I miss him very much!  He is also one of our most humorous monkeys, especially with his creative work on the Vandersloot family pictures, lol.  I hope he'll find his way back here soon! 

Hopefully we will all see some Justice for Natalee very soon!

wwizard's theory from June 2005: ::MonkeyCool::

NH is probably alive (if she's minding).....but she ain't n or around aruba....what seems like random events is really a well oiled machine and it is ABOVE THE LAW...this is white slavery territory we're n....no "rules".....I no the game now....and we ALL need to deal w/ it.......if there was no internet I wood no only watt the mainstream media tells me (laughable) and b OK......but I no more now....

the scam is this....the dutchguy is the setup man. he takes the "mark" and
plays kissy kissy wink wink all week and plants the "trust me" hook.....he
sets em up and the brothers carry em 2 the boat......after they seperate the "mark" from "the herd" (and they did) and away we go......no body ever found means no murder conviction.....they do their "time" and are released........what a gig......foolproof......I feel for the people caught up in this twisted vortex....the ONLY way her parents will ever see her is 2 pay 2 have her back and it's very slim odds because that wood b an admission of guilt by the pirates of the caribbean.....u just don't kill women like NH....unless u can throw away $20,000, $50,000, $100,000.........way 2 valuable......the abducted women cooperate or die....real simple....what wood u do in their place? b honest w/ yourself......I'm through checking EVERY headline cause it don't matter.....I now no how it's gonna play now.....the "student"
brothers......."students" of watt and tell me about their mainland
connections.....the 3 will b released.....b honest agin.......no
evidence.....if this disturbs u, I apologize, it's just the reality of the
situation......hug ur fam, kids, friends 2 day because ur free and not in a
nightmare like this......watt did NH ever do to warrant her punishment....the trio is a lot more scared of their BOSS than the law......all the king horses and all the kings men......be well

NH has been SOLD. Don't shoot the messenger. The truth is ugly and it hurts. We must deal with it though as adults and stop pretending it doesn't happen. There's BIG money playing this game. Here's an example:
You buy a blonde women (popular where everyone is dark headed) for $100,000.
She could easily make you $50,000 a year for say 20 years. After 2 years
she's paid for and pure profit. $50,000 x 20 years = $1,000,000.
We lead sheltered lives in the US. Painfull to think about but it happens
ALL the time. She's NOT on Aruba, look all you want. This is the ONLY
scenario that fits all the "evidence". She was stalked from day 1, nothing
accidental about it. Time will bear this out.

Many of Amsterdam's Brothels, Marijuana Cafes to Close
Saturday , December 06, 2008
 AMSTERDAM, Netherlands —

Amsterdam unveiled plans Saturday to shutter up to half of its famed brothels and marijuana cafes as part of a major cleanup of its ancient city center.

The city says it wants to drive organized crime out of the neighborhood, and is targeting businesses that "generate criminality," including prostitution, gambling parlors, "smart shops" that sell herbal treatments, head shops and "coffee shops" where marijuana is sold openly.

"By reduction and zoning of these kinds of functions, we will be able to manage better and tackle the criminal infrastructure," the city said in a statement.

It said it would also reduce a number of business it sees as related to the "decay" of the center, including peep shows, sex shows, sex shops, mini supermarkets, massage parlors and souvenir shops.

Click here for photos.

The city said there were too many of these and it believes some are used for money-laundering by drug dealers and the human traffickers who supply many of the city's prostitutes.

Under the plan announced Saturday, Amsterdam will spend $38-$51 million to bring hotels, restaurants, cultural organizations and boutiques to the center. It will also build new underground parking areas for cars and bikes and may use some of the vacated buildings to ease a housing shortage.

Amsterdam already had plans to close many brothels and said last month it might close some coffee shops throughout the city, but the plans announced Saturday go much further.

The city said it would offer retraining to prostitutes and coffee shop employees who will lose their jobs as a result of the plan.

Prostitution, which has spread into several areas of the center, will be allowed only in two areas — notably De Wallen ("The Walls"), a web of streets and alleys around the city's medieval retaining dam walls. The area has been a center of prostitution since before the city's golden shipping age in the 1600s.

Prostitution was legalized in the Netherlands in 2000, formalizing a long-standing tolerance policy.

Marijuana is technically illegal in the Netherlands, but prosecutors won't press charges for possession of small amounts and the coffee shops are able to sell it openly.

She could easily make you $50,000 a year for say 20 years. After 2 years
she's paid for and pure profit. $50,000 x 20 years = $1,000,000.
We lead sheltered lives in the US. Painfull to think about but it happens
ALL the time. She's NOT on Aruba, look all you want. This is the ONLY
scenario that fits all the "evidence". She was stalked from day 1, nothing

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands —  Amsterdam unveiled plans Saturday to shutter up to half of its famed brothels and marijuana cafes as part of a major cleanup of its ancient city center.

The city says it wants to drive organized crime out of the neighborhood, and is targeting businesses that "generate criminality," including prostitution, gambling parlors, "smart shops" that sell herbal treatments, head shops and "coffee shops" where marijuana is sold openly.

"By reduction and zoning of these kinds of functions, we will be able to manage better and tackle the criminal infrastructure," the city said in a statement.

It said it would also reduce a number of business it sees as related to the "decay" of the center, including peep shows, sex shows, sex shops, mini supermarkets, massage parlors and souvenir shops.

Click here for photos.

The city said there were too many of these and it believes some are used for money-laundering by drug dealers and the human traffickers who supply many of the city's prostitutes.

Under the plan announced Saturday, Amsterdam will spend $38-$51 million to bring hotels, restaurants, cultural organizations and boutiques to the center. It will also build new underground parking areas for cars and bikes and may use some of the vacated buildings to ease a housing shortage.

Amsterdam already had plans to close many brothels and said last month it might close some coffee shops throughout the city, but the plans announced Saturday go much further.

The city said it would offer retraining to prostitutes and coffee shop employees who will lose their jobs as a result of the plan.

Prostitution, which has spread into several areas of the center, will be allowed only in two areas — notably De Wallen ("The Walls"), a web of streets and alleys around the city's medieval retaining dam walls. The area has been a center of prostitution since before the city's golden shipping age in the 1600s.

Prostitution was legalized in the Netherlands in 2000, formalizing a long-standing tolerance policy.

Marijuana is technically illegal in the Netherlands, but prosecutors won't press charges for possession of small amounts and the coffee shops are able to sell it openly.

Hi Klaasend,  I don't know if she is alive or was sold to someone and in slavery, and today is probably still alive and with us.  We all gave great thought to this early on, and thru statistics learned that they would steal away indigent girls to sell, and not white blonde American girls who would be noticed as being suddenly gone.

Who knows if this happened to Natalee.  Joran is on his last leg with telling the truth, so it is very hard to believe what he says now.

The doubts I have with it being Nataee in the cage is if someone swam down, opened up the cage to deposit her there, I don't think they would lay her out flat like has been put out here.  They would let her fall as she may land.  And looking at the whole cage in that really stupendous photo, I see quite a bit of stuff in the cage at the front of it as we see it, looking in.  I don't see that stuff in the photo's with the body laid out. 

I guess I am a bit skeptical about it being her, not to daunt any thoughts about that anyone here might have.  And I do find your question. who is it if it is not Natalee very thought provoking.  Why on earth would a dead human being be in a fishing trap and who could this be if it is not Natalee.

Like my friend The Rev says, pondering.  It gives much food for thought.  YaYa

PS:  Personally I don't think she was stalked from day #1 but it was a set of circumstances as to why she ended up in the wrong place at the right time.  Just my opinion.

Wizard, how do you know the game now? ...but you know now? Is this why he knows the body will not be found since she is alive? Do you think the abducted woman cooperated or died?

You buy a blonde women (popular where everyone is dark headed) for $100,000.

Klaas, it is possible. There is a lot of human trafficing we do not know about. I know you are aware of that. However, she is probably dead, I just can't figure how they could dispose of her body on an island, unless they took her out to sea. 

I might vote for landfill, if I ever had any experience in or had ever actually seen one.

The problem I have is this. If a decaying body (as in another case we are both aware of) has such a long lasting stench, where did they stash the body until it was put in the crypt? Any ideas?

Gotta say,  I found Forumdom in 2002 when Elizabeth Smart suddenly vanished, with hardly a trace.  And I was hooked and have been every since.

This particular site is very special.  There are so many posters here who are truly die-hards in the case, studied and so intelligent in their quest.  Dedicated is what y'all are, every one.

I think all of this positive input in the case gives a depth to it.  It is all from goodness that everyone here is trying their best to put the last few pieces of the puzzle about what happened to Natalee and where she is, into place.  I really believe it will be solved and Natalee will have Justice someday.

How would Aruba have explained that Natalee was sold if they had 2 security guards in jail for murder?

Why would they have rushed to try to frame these guys if they didn't have a dead body at some point?

She's dead, she was killed and van der straaten and Janssen knew it. Van der straaten "saw" the evidence.

If they never had the "evidence" why bother arresting the guards? They needed time to get rid of the body. Not ship her off alive.

Without Beth, those guards may be in jail right now. The evidence being the stolen cameras from the Mountainbrook Students.

And speaking of those students, weren't they under suspicion by Dompig? When is he going to come back in the spotlight?

Sorry if I upset anyone with this but I just found it where Blonde is putting all the details, it was written by Kermit.

What I know is: I gave a very detailed document that was given to Kathy & Clauseens (aka bestbuddy) when they went to Aruba. I later learned that it was turned over to DOMPIG. I thought it was Dave who turned it to Dompig. My gosh, it had so much information in that it isn't funny.

Rob, may know more then I do about that.
First of all I want to know what you sent us with, I didn't even know who you were until last week.  Second of all, the only thing given to Dompig was a piece of that goop from the dunes area of rocks, and that wasn't by me, that was by TM.  There were 2 pieces of it.  That was why the dunes was shut down while we were there for another search of the dunes.  So now that we have this straight, what would Rob know if he doesn't talk to me?  What was so detailed that you would let it go?  And who did you give it to?  It was not me.  The only thing I got before leaving was a camcorder from Funnysmart, and that was returned to her along with a copy of what I filmed.  Do not get me mixed up with other people.  IF you gave it to BB, she didn't see Dompig either, so I don't know where you are getting this info from.  Please do take that off this site.  And leave me alone, you are now considered harassing me.

 I need to add something to this.
I sent pictures to Dave's Tip line pictures that I took from my TV, that NO ONE else could have.
The next thing ,I see them all over the internet ::MonkeyShocked::

Later I found out that Dave sends his tips to Natalee's Angels for them to disperse, pass around etc.
 I know this for a FACT because I was one, and you were one for a very short time.
 I do remember when Kermit sent Dave a Deltailed letter,in 2005.
We were all in that Private site together, we all trusted each other.
Maybe he passed Kermit's letter to Dompig, thinking he could trust him.
Maybe all Natalee Angles got coppies of this letter, I just don't know.

Kath I have know you and kermit since 2005 were all working on one thing Bring Natalee Home.
OK I'm Done now.

{{edit to add}}

The private forum I'm talking about was back in 2005-2006 Just to clarify.

Kermit has never said that the family HAS the remains.

Kermit has said that their were remains in the cage.
Kermit, I believe, has said that the remains were NH.
Kermit has admitted to not being on the boat.

If Kermit was not on the boat, how would Kermit know this information?
I conclude that someone else on the boat also knows what Kermit knows.

Kermit, please clarify some simple YES/NO questions...

Were the remains, found in the cage that you refer to, those of NH? Yes or No.

Does a member of the Persistence know the same information? Yes or No.

Does the family of NH have the same "secret addidtional" photographs that you do? Yes or No.
Does the FBI have the same "secret addidtional" photographs that you do? Yes or No.
Does the ALE have the same "secret addidtional" photographs that you do? Yes or No.

Post by: BUCKSHOT on December 07, 2008, 09:50:06 AM
There was a disagreement a few days ago about the fact that the family had seen the photographs and dismissed them as not being NH. Simple logic came to me, regarding clarification...

If the family has not seen these "additional secret" photographs, which SM posters feel are remians (possibly NH)...
Someone, with connections to the family, should make sure that they have the chance to view them.

Then, let us ask the family if, after viewing the "additional secret" photographs, they feel that they could be relevant to the recovery of NH, and or possibly her remains.

We could then determine if the family is choosing not acknowledge the relevance of the photos(for unknown specified reasons), whether they have even seen the aforementioned photos, or some posters (who claim to be friends of the family) are trying to steer us away.

Post by: Rob on December 07, 2008, 09:50:41 AM
As a matter of fact, a certain someone here, aka - the stealth operator - asked me repeatedly for all of the file numbers as she couldn't locate them herself. Actually they were quite easy to find, but that's neither here nor there. Finding them and matching them and cross referencing them was the tricky part and it took me three months with Klaas' help at times.

The Stealth Operator then told me in specific language that, that could never be confused with anything other than what it was - the SHE was now chummy with some Dutch chick on Aruba and her FATHER was a DUTCH OFFICIAL ON ARUBA. THE STEALTH OPERATOR WANTED the file numbers to GIVE TO THE DUTCH OFFICIAL.

After what I would consider borderline harassment, and daily, if not twice daily emails, requesting the file numbers TO GIVE TO THE DUTCH OFFICIAL, and me saying repeatedly to just give me one more day, I found that the STEALTH OPERATOR WAS NOT only conversing multiple times per day with none other than Joran van der Sloot himself, in what I would describe as super ass-kissing sessions, but the STEALTH OPERATOR was also in cahoots with Gerold Dompig. Puttin' two and two together can only lead me to believe that Dompig wanted the file numbers and was too damm stupid to find them himself.

*BTW- I know for a fact that the STEALTH OPERATOR was talking to Joran because she send me screen shots of their conversations to PROVE she was in fact talkin' to him.

Kermit, right or wrong, has always seemed to step up to the plate.
Kermit has always attempted / verified her posts.

Kermit could be a dis-informant for all we know. No one knows.
It appears, on surface level, that she is not.

An obvious conclusion, as my previous post alludes, can be drawn.
Kermit not on boat. Kermit knows of remains. Conclusion=Someone else knows. Who??

As a matter of fact, a certain someone here, aka - the stealth operator - asked me repeatedly for all of the file numbers as she couldn't locate them herself. Actually they were quite easy to find, but that's neither here nor there. Finding them and matching them and cross referencing them was the tricky part and it took me three months with Klaas' help at times.

The Stealth Operator then told me in specific language that, that could never be confused with anything other than what it was - the SHE was now chummy with some Dutch chick on Aruba and her FATHER was a DUTCH OFFICIAL ON ARUBA. THE STEALTH OPERATOR WANTED the file numbers to GIVE TO THE DUTCH OFFICIAL.

After what I would consider borderline harassment, and daily, if not twice daily emails, requesting the file numbers TO GIVE TO THE DUTCH OFFICIAL, and me saying repeatedly to just give me one more day, I found that the STEALTH OPERATOR WAS NOT only conversing multiple times per day with none other than Joran van der Sloot himself, in what I would describe as super ass-kissing sessions, but the STEALTH OPERATOR was also in cahoots with Gerold Dompig. Puttin' two and two together can only lead me to believe that Dompig wanted the file numbers and was too damm stupid to find them himself.

*BTW- I know for a fact that the STEALTH OPERATOR was talking to Joran because she send me screen shots of their conversations to PROVE she was in fact talkin' to him.

In other words Tamikosmom's landfill theory is still on the table.

Kermit, right or wrong, has always seemed to step up to the plate.
Kermit has always attempted / verified her posts.

Kermit could be a dis-informant for all we know. No one knows.
It appears, on surface level, that she is not.

An obvious conclusion, as my previous post alludes, can be drawn.
Kermit not on boat. Kermit knows of remains. Conclusion=Someone else knows. Who??

Kermit's theories are Kermit's theories and ... something akin to Tamikosmom's theories ... they are subject to change.

However ... the ROV images and ... the Kyle email quotes are either a hoax or the truth revealed.

When I consider ... Kermit's long time dedication to the cause of justice for Natalee Holloway that is revealed in her/his posts and ... her/his willingness to share countless hours of research exposing the suspects and the corrupt investigation in Natalee forums and ... Kyle's acknowledgement in his own words of communication ... unless otherwise indicated ... I will uphold the motives and integrity of Kermit.

Kermit,

First, I have NEVER threatened you.  The only thing I said to you is that I do not want to be sued by releasing information into the public that I was specifically told by OUR FBI as confidential. When I'm told not to comment by our FBI, I listen. You clearly do not understand this.

I made a mistake trusting you with so much as a greeting.  It was a gross misjudgement in character on my part. 

We all want the truth out in it's entirety.  The truth will be told by Beth in her terms when SHE feels ready.  It's not up to you or I. If you want the truth, ask BETH, not me.  Your answers will come from her.   

As for me, I stand by Natalee.   I'm sorry Kermit, my answer is NO.  This is my last post at SM.

From Kyle: march 18, 2008: If you want, you can get Red from SM off my back. I really don't like that guy. He thinks he knows what's going on but doesn't have a clue. I first saw the pics on the SM home page and fired off an email to Red believing that he would be understanding and help provide answers. I quickly found out what happened on my own and dealt with it. I could not believe his response.

Kyle said: “The portion of the discolored blue fabric was presumably on the bottom of the fabric. In my opinion this discoloration is not another type of fabric, but rather biological staining or discoloration from biological growth caused from a high organic carbon content and decay. Basically, during decay a biological mat will form around the organics from remains. This is what I believe it is on the bottom of the fabric.

Kyle said: "Notice the end of the skirt is an identical match to the 90 degree angle in the sand.
- I believe her left arm was outstretched with her legs slightly bent. I did not edit the legs.
- I believe the tarp was placed over her and tucked around her, or perhaps tied down. I believe there are several rocks laying on the sand which were placed on the tarp, or inside the tarp over her body which explains their unusual location.
- Either way, the proportions appear promising.

Kyle said: “- I took the proportions of the body form from the head, to shoulder, to a 90 degree angle which I believed to be the hem line of Natalee's skirt. I then took those proportions and matched them to the photo of Natalee with what she was last seen wearing. The proportions matched within an inch from head, to shoulder, to skirt line.

Based on this comparison and with what we believed we saw in the Dec 29th video, Tim Miller contacted the family and told them the 99.9% comment. I told Tim not to do anything until we have forensic results back after the site is processed.

Jan 7th we sampled the contents and in my opinion we found the skirt under the sand along with the other items

The blue fabric was found right where the skirt is pictured. If it isn't her, it will forever haunt me as a major cosmic WTF.”

posted by SantaClaus on December 5th, 2008 8:06 pm 
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE PAYOFFS

‘Twas the night before payoffs, when all through the House
Not an elder was stirring, not ev’n a whiskered mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that their wampum soon would be there;
The offspring were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Bangbus vids danced in their heads;
And mama with her kerchief, and I with my cap
Had just settled down after beating a long rap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a sh*t load of press folks, and her family I fear!
With such little time for a story to stick.
I knew in a moment I had to think quick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
So I grabbed my wife’s cell and called them by name;
“Now, Jan! now, Deepak! now, Satish and Steven!
On, Guido! on Greg! on, Koen get leavin’!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!
Before we all get caught and the teepees all fall!
So off to the airport, the Netherlands they flew,
With the sleigh full of payoffs, and all that they knew.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each sporter’s hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turnng around,
Down the chimney he came with one sneaker a bound.
He was covered in mud, from his waist to his foot,
And his clothes were all muddy with what looked like soot.
A bundle of money he flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes — one was smaller, he talked of our Mary!
His cheeks red from drinking, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
As he stood with two Hindus, who were both in the know.
Biting his tongue, trying to save his face.
He listened to his daddy, no body no case.
He had a broad face and tons of plaid shirts.
while that night his friend said he took several squirts.

He was a tall sporter, a jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his smaller eye and a twist of his large head,
And when he opened his mouth daddy had everything to dread;
While he spoke not the truth to the media at work
Daddy filled all their stockings thinking “I’m raising a jerk.”
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
He sniffed up that line and up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And he flew off to Thailand as quick as a missile
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“You’ll never arrest me, and to all a good-night.”

BUT THE MONKEYS PROCLAIMED - NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT

 two years  imprisonment  for corrupt custodian
6 Dec, 2008, 14:49 (GMT -04:00)
ORANGE CITY - The public prosecutor yesterday demanded two years imprisonment for corruption suspect Omar H. prison guard. The depositary would end 2006 to mid this year, drugs, mobile phones and other belongings have traded in prison KIA.
According to the Public Prosecutor (OM) is the man so corrupt that he is also at least five years after serving his punishment should not exercise his profession. In exchange for delivering the products, gifts, he would have adopted. He also prosecuted for possession of two kilos of marijuana. H. denies the allegation and said only CDs, creams, and Vicks for the prisoners and have taken no drugs and phones. During the handling of the case, the judge, however, that he is in possession of detailed descriptions of how H. the smuggled stuff inside, and what the prices of the products were. A mobile phone would vary between eight hundred and nine hundred florin, while marijuana for an amount of 100 florin would have demanded. He passed the checks by the 'ordered' stuff in his underpants to stop and got there in the cell of a 'client' only off.
H. Friday continued to deny everything, and sees the whole case against him as a "set up" because he was preparing a report stressful enough stand against some or any of the prisoners who trade from the paintings did. The prosecutor, however, the courts could produce a recording, which is to hear how H. and another person agreed on marijuana. On December 12 the court ruling.

In exchange for delivering the products, gifts, he would have adopted. He also prosecuted for possession of two kilos of marijuana. H. denies the allegation and said only CDs, creams, and Vicks for the prisoners and have taken no drugs and phones. During the handling of the case, the judge, however, that he is in possession of detailed descriptions of how H. the smuggled stuff inside, and what the prices of the products were. A mobile phone would vary between eight hundred and nine hundred florin, while marijuana for an amount of 100 florin would have demanded. He passed the checks by the 'ordered' stuff in his underpants to stop and got there in the cell of a 'client' only off.
H. Friday continued to deny everything, and sees the whole case against him as a "set up" because he was preparing a report stressful enough stand against some or any of the prisoners who trade from the paintings did. The prosecutor, however, the courts could produce a recording, which is to hear how H. and another person agreed on marijuana. On December 12 the court ruling.

Thanks Johan!

Now...what are they going to do about Paulus Van der Sloot and his smuggling operation to his son????   ::MonkeyRoll::

Can you explain what is so special about a person who asked permission to post portions of a  PRIVATE dialog, was NOT given permission, but posted it anyways? That is special? I think it is wrong. You do all understand that Kyle's posts were part of a DIALOG!! amongst trusted friends..or so it appears to me. I doubt this was Kyle talking to himself...so why just post Kyle's portion? Were there others who agreed, disagreed? And you wonder why I keep harping the "out of context" message...because anytime you take posts out of a dialog...you take it out of context!!!!

 

Can you also tell me what is so special about a person who claims they are being "threatened" not to post any additional info..when they have not been? Hey kermit, I saw the "threatening e-mail". You have posted everything else out of context, why withhold the "threats". Because there weren't any.

 

IF...lets assume IF these posts Kermit is posting were taken from a private forum, where confidentiality was SACRED!!!!!!!! so that people could discuss the Persistence search and noodle out ideas, information, facts, theories, fears, etc.....a private forum that was DEDICATED TO FINDING JUSTICE FOR NATALEE!!! where CONFIDENTIALITY had to be SACRED!!!! would you still consider Kermit so "special"?

 

If the posts that Kermit is posting...were SHARED!!! OPENLY!!! not covertly..OPENLY in a P_R_I_V_A_T_E forum...a "think tank" per se, amongst trusted and dedicated people who have spent the last three and a half years dedicated to posting the truth about Aruba and seeking justice for Natalee...would that change your opinions of the information that Kermit is posting at all? Would you then think what was posted was taken out of context. Would you be less likey to question the integrity of Kyle and the members of the Persistence? Would you question then...as I am...Kermit's motives? Is it really the truth she is looking for?

There appears to be some kind of power struggle going on.  I'd really like to know how others that were members of the "private" forum feel about Kermit's posts.  Seems there are some that are feeling betrayed by Kyle and others that feel betrayed by Kermit.  Personally, I don't know what to believe.

About the cage and the pics.  It looks to me that there very wll may have been human remains in that cage, who's remains I don't know.  What happened to the evidence from the cage I don't know.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM.  Information always leaks out, people always get mad.  That is why we have no private areas at SM.

Yes, thank you.

For correctly carrying out one and other, the Board of Procurators General has issued a directive. The objective of the directive is to explain the criteria according to which the rijksrecherche may be deployed (see Core Tasks / deployment criteria).

I am wondering about the deployment criteria.  I am wondering what criteria must be met in order to have an investigation, and who must make such request?

Could not find this info on their website. ::MonkeyConfused::

Thanks



it's complicated.
but to put it simple, the board of Procureurs-General decides if the Rijksrecherche is going to be used.

but the difference here is that the Netherlands and Aruba have two different Openbaar Ministeries (Public Prosecution).
they are separate. Aruba has his own Procureur-General, who doesn't sit at the board of Dutch Procureurs-General.

so the usual criteria don't apply here.

there is however a option for special, unusual cases:
http://www.om.nl/organisatie/rijksrecherche/inzetcriteria/afwijkende/
there it even says "foreign corruption".
but it doesn't give much detail about the deployment, criteria there.

but i suspect that this comes down to a decision by the Justice Minister of the Netherlands, Hirsch Ballin.
it's really a political decision to have the Aruban ALE investigated, ultimately decided by the Kingdom Cabinet.

and if there is consensus in the Dutch Parliament that they want the Government to enforce article 43 of the Statute (about good governance, rule of law), only then the Dutch Justice minister will do something.

when the Kingdom relations get restructered for the other islands the Dutch Minister of Justice will have more power.
he is going to have 'aanwijzingsbevoegdheid', he can direct the Procureur-General to start a prosecution or abort a prosecution. reason for this is to deal with politically influenced prosecutions - in other words: corruption.
but Aruba (Rudy Croes), has managed that the Dutch Justice Minister doesn't have this power towards Aruba.
http://antilliaans.caribiana.nl/aruba/car20080219_eigen-PG

by the way, Curaçao is very angy that for them the Dutch Justice Minister has this special power.
in June there were race-riots on Curaçao.
the man behind this, Helmin Wiels is threatening to disrupt the Round Table Conference and the day before when there is a 'Kingdomconcert'.
http://antilliaans.caribiana.nl/kort-nieuws/car20081129_ANP-concertactie


so through article 43 is the only option for Aruba

that's why i keep repeating that it is important to contact the Dutch members of Parliament.
and the coming week is crucial with debates on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - leading op to the Round Table Conference between the three Prime-Ministers with Balkenende presiding in Curaçao on December 15th.

list of members of Parliament of the Aruban/Antilles committee:
http://www.tweedekamer.nl/kamerleden/commissies/NAAZ/index.jsp#0
names on top of the list are the highest ranking members.

No need for the personal attacks.

And there ARE private forums, if the members agree that the information that is discussed will be held in private. This is an open, public forum. There is a difference!

If someone gives their word, that a discussion will not leave a forum, and then they copy and paste.."portions" of the discussion..I see nothing "special" at all about that and I can use all the exclamations I want to to make my point.

I was told that was not allowed here at SM when I brought a private im  here and posted it. Why is it ok for Kermit, because the information is interesting? Kyle explained why he would not give permission, his wishes were ignored and Kermit has been allowed to post away freely information that was supposed to be confidential. Whether it's "juicy" or not, in my mind, it is the wrong thing to do.

Yes this is very complicated for me to understand, but I am trying!  ::MonkeyConfused::

I assumed that Rudy Croes' own statement of corruption would be sufficient, but now understand that it is not.

It is particularly difficult to understand Aruba's status aparte, while having  financial dependence on the Netherlands.   It seems like a loophole allowing them to do whatever they want.  Too bad you guys have to support this BS with your taxes! ::MonkeyNoNo::

Thanks for the info.  I will do my best to communicate to the ministers.  Wish me luck! ::MonkeyWink::

I would have liked to have been a member too...I wasn't invited. The issue is, imho..that those who were invited, agreed to keep the information they discussed confidential. That confidentiality has allowed the group to do some tremendous work. How can it ever continue now when the trust has been broken. that is the biggest shame of it all. I was taught if you give someone your word, you keep it.

OPENLY!!! not covertly..OPENLY in a P_R_I_V_A_T_E forum...a "think tank" per se, amongst trusted and dedicated people who have spent the last three and a half years dedicated to posting the truth about Aruba and seeking justice for Natalee...would that change your opinions of the information that Kermit is posting at all? Would you then think what was posted was taken out of context. Would you be less likey to question the integrity of Kyle and the members of the Persistence? Would you question then...as I am...Kermit's motives? Is it really the truth she is looking for?


Well, I find that remark particulary offensive.  Just WTF do you think we're all spending time on here doing?

And, btw, all those exclamation points reek off jr high school.

I agree 1000%. All of this "we are the priviliged few with the inside scoop" pisses me off. I haven't spent 3 /12 years trying to find answers here and then be treated as  "unworthy" of knowing the "REAL" facts. I just as soon you all take your "private forum" and stuff it.

I would have liked to have been a member too...I wasn't invited. The issue is, imho..that those who were invited, agreed to keep the information they discussed confidential. That confidentiality has allowed the group to do some tremendous work. How can it ever continue now when the trust has been broken. that is the biggest shame of it all. I was taught if you give someone your word, you keep it.
Well OBVIOUSLY, Kermit thought the TRUTH (in her opinion) outweighed the "sanctity" of the private forum.

You do all understand that Kyle's posts were part of a DIALOG!! amongst trusted friends..or so it appears to me. I doubt this was Kyle talking to himself...so why just post Kyle's portion?

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM.  Information always leaks out, people always get mad.  That is why we have no private areas at SM.


I totally agree.  Private forum my eye.  If you belong to that private forum take your opinions back to it.  We are simple people here, not part of a clique.  I see what I see and NO ONE can tell me any different.  THERE is a body in that cage.  I HAVE NO IDEA who's it is but all of this secret agent sh$t is starting to wear thin.  Spit it out what you know or take it back to your Private Forum. Something does not add up here about all of this.  Personally, I have a tendency to believe Kermit.  I would like to hear more from Kyle concerning all of these accusations. JMO

I have looked at the pictures and watched those videos over and over.  I dont think they are human remains.  I think the blue fabric is a baseball hat just as Annna has suggested.  I dont think this cage/trap has anything at all to do with Natalee and I think people who are calling OE and the crew of the Persistance liars and traitors should tone it down just a tad until a time where they have some concrete evidence that they are what they say.  I've been wrong before and could be wrong about this but I just dont see any solid evidence of human remains.

and that is my point exactly. If you decide to break the forum rules, and bring the info from a forum that agreed to keep info confidential, and no one else in the private group is breaking the confidentiality agreement, then how do we know it's the truth? I am not a member, I have no stake in this other than my sense of what is right and wrong. From the moment I read kermits posts, I wondered how she had info that no one else did..and why now is she sharing it. It makes me suspicious of her motives and her intents.

Blah - you could very well be right.  It does look as though Kyle was pretty certain there were human remains in the cage though and I'd like to know why he's so certain.

Plus, I don't see most of the members here calling the crew of the Persistence liars and traitors.  We are questioning Kyle and why he seems so certain the trap was important and we are questioning the handling of the evidence found in the trap.

Can you explain what is so special about a person who asked permission to post portions of a  PRIVATE dialog, was NOT given permission, but posted it anyways? That is special? I think it is wrong. You do all understand that Kyle's posts were part of a DIALOG!! amongst trusted friends..or so it appears to me. I doubt this was Kyle talking to himself...so why just post Kyle's portion? Were there others who agreed, disagreed? And you wonder why I keep harping the "out of context" message...because anytime you take posts out of a dialog...you take it out of context!!!!

I think it is special that Kermit decided to share her information with us.  

Can you also tell me what is so special about a person who claims they are being "threatened" not to post any additional info..when they have not been? Hey kermit, I saw the "threatening e-mail". You have posted everything else out of context, why withhold the "threats". Because there weren't any.

If you saw the threatening emails why not share them so we can decided for ourselves.  

IF...lets assume IF these posts Kermit is posting were taken from a private forum, where confidentiality was SACRED!!!!!!!! so that people could discuss the Persistence search and noodle out ideas, information, facts, theories, fears, etc.....a private forum that was DEDICATED TO FINDING JUSTICE FOR NATALEE!!!   where CONFIDENTIALITY had to be SACRED!!!! would you still consider Kermit so "special"?

Then why are you and others who are posting at this site posting here?  Go to the private site and don't tell us shit because I don't care.  But because Kermit did post it here where we aren't private I say thanks for your thoughts and I will be the judge of what you post.  I will decided for myself what is true and what isn't.

If the posts that Kermit is posting...were SHARED!!! OPENLY!!! not covertly..OPENLY in a P_R_I_V_A_T_E forum...a "think tank" per se, amongst trusted and dedicated people who have spent the last three and a half years dedicated to posting the truth about Aruba and seeking justice for Natalee...would that change your opinions of the information that Kermit is posting at all? Would you then think what was posted was taken out of context. Would you be less likey to question the integrity of Kyle and the members of the Persistence? Would you question then...as I am...Kermit's motives? Is it really the truth she is looking for?

THERE HASN'T BEEN A PERSON ON A FORUM MORE DEDICATED TO FINDING JUSTICE FOR NATALEE THAN "KLAASEND".  THERE ARE MANY MANY SMART PEOPLE HERE THAT BLOW YOU OUT OF THE WATER.

HOW DARE YOU INSULT ALL THE LOYAL POSTERS AT SM.



I am NOT a member of the private group for your information. I just think it is wrong what kermit is doing and I am expressing my opinion. If you feel you have to attack me go ahead.

And I am expressing mine.  I have kept quite but now it is getting out of hand.  If you are not a member of the private group then someone is feeding you information and you choose to believe them.

ok..then explain to me how I am misinformed? kermit WAS given permission to bring those posts here?

This is the risk you take for joining a private forum.  Nothing is private.

I read what I read and then I make up my own mind.  I do not let people force me to believe their opinions because they believe they have inside information or they know someone and are in communication with someone.

My favorite line on SM that I have seen is this "TRUST ME I KNOW."  They can take those words have shove them because if I don't believe I'm not going to.

We are all in control of our own minds.

There appears to be some kind of power struggle going on.  I'd really like to know how others that were members of the "private" forum feel about Kermit's posts.  Seems there are some that are feeling betrayed by Kyle and others that feel betrayed by Kermit.  Personally, I don't know what to believe.

About the cage and the pics.  It looks to me that there very wll may have been human remains in that cage, who's remains I don't know.  What happened to the evidence from the cage I don't know.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM.  Information always leaks out, people always get mad.  That is why we have no private areas at SM.



If their all talking about the private forum that I, kath, kermit and others were in it was a  very long time ago.
 I was not even a Monkey yet.
It also disappeared a long time ago too with all of our work.
 Some of us are still friends now and keep in touch .

Kyle is welcome to post a rebuttal here.  Neither Kyle nor Kermit are banned from posting at SM.  They can "duke" it out if they choose to.  Then we can all see both sides.  

I saw Kyle post why he did not want to discuss this on SM. Because kermit decided to share the info that was not intended to be shared, does not mean Kyle is going to. And frankly I respect that more than what kermit is doing. He posted to us daily while on the search. he answered everyone's questions. For that he is being slandered by kermit. I wouldn't come here and respond after that.

I totally agree.  Private forum my eye.  If you belong to that private forum take your opinions back to it.  We are simple people here, not part of a clique.  I see what I see and NO ONE can tell me any different.  THERE is a body in that cage.  I HAVE NO IDEA who's it is but all of this secret agent sh$t is starting to wear thin.  Spit it out what you know or take it back to your Private Forum. Something does not add up here about all of this.  Personally, I have a tendency to believe Kermit.  I would like to hear more from Kyle concerning all of these accusations. JMO 

and that is my point exactly. If you decide to break the forum rules, and bring the info from a forum that agreed to keep info confidential, and no one else in the private group is breaking the confidentiality agreement, then how do we know it's the truth? I am not a member, I have no stake in this other than my sense of what is right and wrong. From the moment I read kermits posts, I wondered how she had info that no one else did..and why now is she sharing it. It makes me suspicious of her motives and her intents.

I don't know what's going on here, but it seems someone is breaking the "confidentiality agreement" or you wouldn't know where the info came from.

And if that private forum has members in it who's only objective is to bring Beth and Natalee down then I am glad I am not a member of that forum.  HOW can a private forum make any difference in this if their members are the likes of Julie Renfro, Reality and so on and so forth.  I have to question their involvement in all of this before I would ever believe anything they said.

I want the truth.  So someone knows more than the rest of us?  Then I say what makes you so damn special. 

Do you seriously think anything we discuss on an open forum is going to prevent justice from being given to this precious child Natalee Holloway at this point?  After 3 1/3 years?  I seriously doubt it.

Private forum my ass.  Who decides who's special and who isn't.  I've set here for 3 1/2 lousy stinkin years praying for justice to come.

No I'm not a big contributor any more.  But many many nights I didn't sleep working on timelines and doing the best I could with what little knowledge I have of computers.  Yes the first time I heard someone say  to empty the cookies from my computer I thought WTH.  So no I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer about computers, but I have just as much right to know what is going on as anybody else.  I'm pissed.

So tell what you know or shut the hell up.

I will state one opinion I firmly believe. From what I have read from kermit's posts, as a result of the actions of the aruban authorities, Kyle walked away from that search with a lot of unanswered questions, just the same as us. He is not some culprit in a conspiracy to cover up the discovery of Natalee.

Kyle is welcome to post a rebuttal here.  Neither Kyle nor Kermit are banned from posting at SM.  They can "duke" it out if they choose to.  Then we can all see both sides.  

I saw Kyle post why he did not want to discuss this on SM. Because kermit decided to share the info that was not intended to be shared, does not mean Kyle is going to. And frankly I respect that more than what kermit is doing. He posted to us daily while on the search. he answered everyone's questions. For that he is being slandered by kermit. I wouldn't come here and respond after that.

I'm thinking Kyle is choosing not to post a rebuttal.

Kermit,

First, I have NEVER threatened you.  The only thing I said to you is that I do not want to be sued by releasing information into the public that I was specifically told by OUR FBI as confidential. When I'm told not to comment by our FBI, I listen. You clearly do not understand this.

Well, Beth is a big girl.  If she saw something here she didn't want discussed, wouldn't she just call Red or Klaas? :smt102 :smt102 :smt102



Helen - I don't speak directly with Beth but Red does.  How many people should the family be dealing with?  I decided 3 1/2 years ago to use Red as my messenger.

I've asked Red to find out what he can about the pics of the trap and what was found or not found.  I haven't heard anything back yet.

You know what?  I'm sick of this bull crap.  I have a right as an American citizen to know what happened to another American citizen while over seas.  I have a right as a Mother to know what happened to this precious child.  I have a right as a person to know what happened to this precious child.  I don't care who the hell you are or where you come from.  If you know something then spill it or shut the heck up.  And at this point I don't care where the information comes from.

I want the truth.  So someone knows more than the rest of us?  Then I say what makes you so damn special. 

Do you seriously think anything we discuss on an open forum is going to prevent justice from being given to this precious child Natalee Holloway at this point?  After 3 1/3 years?  I seriously doubt it.

Private forum my ass.  Who decides who's special and who isn't.  I've set here for 3 1/2 lousy stinkin years praying for justice to come.

No I'm not a big contributor any more.  But many many nights I didn't sleep working on timelines and doing the best I could with what little knowledge I have of computers.  Yes the first time I heard someone say  to empty the cookies from my computer I thought WTH.  So no I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer about computers, but I have just as much right to know what is going on as anybody else.  I'm pissed.

So tell what you know or shut the hell up.

Sorry Klaas please don't fuss at me or I might start crying at this point.  I'm just so fed up.

And just so all ya'll know this is not pointed directly at any particular individual.  This is just my humble gosh darn fraskin opinion.

See I like your opinion Snoopy and please don't cry.

Snoopy - I agree with you too!

Thanks, Klaas.  I wasn't sure if you spoke with Beth, but I know Red does.  That's why I feel that Red will put the kabash on anything that makes Beth uncomfortable, and that's why I like it here.

I don't disagree at all Snoopy. My point is though, if you want to share the information, then share it. You don't have to make people who busted their azzes on that ship "bad guys" to do it. If this info was shared in the private forum, then Kyle apparently wasn't trying to "cover up" anything. So if kermit wants to share the photos and info, share it...but but in my mind she needed to justify her actions, and making Kyle a conspirator is not the way to do it.

BNH is a members only can read forum but you don't need to be invited to join.  It's my understanding that the Freebirds forum is invite only and I only became aware of it's existance within the last week.  So obviously it was determined I was not "good" enough to join.  ::MonkeyCool::

Kyle has had three weeks to post his side - he hides. I have no respect for someone who hides pics, tries to sell them, lies about it, jerks everyone around, and says the family saw everything.

In my opinion, whatever Kyles side is, it cant be explained rationally or it would have been three weeks ago.

Can you explain what is so special about a person who asked permission to post portions of a  PRIVATE dialog, was NOT given permission, but posted it anyways? That is special? I think it is wrong. You do all understand that Kyle's posts were part of a DIALOG!! amongst trusted friends..or so it appears to me. I doubt this was Kyle talking to himself...so why just post Kyle's portion? Were there others who agreed, disagreed? And you wonder why I keep harping the "out of context" message...because anytime you take posts out of a dialog...you take it out of context!!!!

I think it is special that Kermit decided to share her information with us.  

Can you also tell me what is so special about a person who claims they are being "threatened" not to post any additional info..when they have not been? Hey kermit, I saw the "threatening e-mail". You have posted everything else out of context, why withhold the "threats". Because there weren't any.

If you saw the threatening emails why not share them so we can decided for ourselves.  

IF...lets assume IF these posts Kermit is posting were taken from a private forum, where confidentiality was SACRED!!!!!!!! so that people could discuss the Persistence search and noodle out ideas, information, facts, theories, fears, etc.....a private forum that was DEDICATED TO FINDING JUSTICE FOR NATALEE!!!   where CONFIDENTIALITY had to be SACRED!!!! would you still consider Kermit so "special"?

Then why are you and others who are posting at this site posting here?  Go to the private site and don't tell us shit because I don't care.  But because Kermit did post it here where we aren't private I say thanks for your thoughts and I will be the judge of what you post.  I will decided for myself what is true and what isn't.

If the posts that Kermit is posting...were SHARED!!! OPENLY!!! not covertly..OPENLY in a P_R_I_V_A_T_E forum...a "think tank" per se, amongst trusted and dedicated people who have spent the last three and a half years dedicated to posting the truth about Aruba and seeking justice for Natalee...would that change your opinions of the information that Kermit is posting at all? Would you then think what was posted was taken out of context. Would you be less likey to question the integrity of Kyle and the members of the Persistence? Would you question then...as I am...Kermit's motives? Is it really the truth she is looking for?

THERE HASN'T BEEN A PERSON ON A FORUM MORE DEDICATED TO FINDING JUSTICE FOR NATALEE THAN "KLAASEND".  THERE ARE MANY MANY SMART PEOPLE HERE THAT BLOW YOU OUT OF THE WATER.

HOW DARE YOU INSULT ALL THE LOYAL POSTERS AT SM.



I am NOT a member of the private group for your information. I just think it is wrong what kermit is doing and I am expressing my opinion. If you feel you have to attack me go ahead.

You see it as an attack, but I see it as a rebuttal.  I, personally, don't see how your opinion on what Kermit has posted here has anything to do with Natalee.   If you were not invited to be a member of the so called private forum, then where are you getting your info from???? 



There is a group of them.


I was willing to take the risk and post the truth.
The MONKEYS can decide if it is me lying or not.



Look kermit...then post the truth!!!

You know what else gosh darn it?  Why does the Persistance search have to be so secretive?  That's crap right there.  It is what it is.  We were supposed to be informed step by step throughout the whole search.

If they found something then we should have been told about it right then and there.

Why does what was found in the trap or not have to be kept secret?  That's a bunch of crap.  There is no explanation that can be given to me that can change my mind.  Oooohhhh sent to the FBI well then I should shut my yap?  The FBI has no jurisdiction.

I want Natalee on Alabama soil. 

Aruba can make that happen

No Juctice for Natalee

No tourism for Aruba

First, I have NEVER threatened you.  The only thing I said to you is that I do not want to be sued by releasing information into the public that I was specifically told by OUR FBI as confidential. When I'm told not to comment by our FBI, I listen. You clearly do not understand this.

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=4159.msg554523#msg554523


But Kyle posted the "confidential" information in a "private forum"????

If it was a private forum, how much was he trying to hide? How did kermit expose the "truth". It would have been kyle exposing the truth correct? kermit just brought it to SM. Her right to do so...but why bash the messenger in the process unless you are feeling guilty about your decision?

Look kermit...then post the truth!!!
The truth is..no one but the arubans really know what was found in that cage. Why do you have to bash Kyle to post the truth?

A. I have NOT said one personal bash against Kyle whatsoever. I have exposed the truth.
You have a right to choose to believe or not believe what you want.

B. Kyle stated: " The bags were removed just after the ROV got out of the way when the divers took the samples to their boat.... and took off. You have a right to choose to believe or not believe what you want.


Exactly.

It is how a person posts that makes me decided on what I believe.

Kyle has had three weeks to post his side - he hides. I have no respect for someone who hides pics, tries to sell them, lies about it, jerks everyone around, and says the family saw everything.

In my opinion, whatever Kyles side is, it cant be explained rationally or it would have been three weeks ago.



could be though that it is a no win situation for him and so he has chosen not to advance it.

Lisa, this is not about winning or losing THIS IS ABOUT THE TRUTH - NO MATTER WHERE IT LEADS

Rob, I don't have a problem with the truth. I want it as bad as anyone else here. I am just saying, it appears to me that kermit was privy to some information that the rest of us did not have access to. She chose to bring it to SM. I am not saying that is bad!!! No one better to investigate than the Monkeys. It's here and it's being discussed. but kermit doesn't have to bash kyle in the process!! It appears kyle gave her access to that info to begim with!!

Bottom line...kermit did not not "uncover" some great big conspiracy, she brought over information that was being discussed elsewhere. lets call a spade a spade is all I am saying. No need to tear apart Kyle to do that.

DEAR KERMIT,

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE INFORMATION.

SAN


Justice is justice in my opinion..and breaking someone's trust is not the just thing to do.
Ronald Reagan said "Trust, BUT VERIFY". Apparently, Kermit is verifying.

Wreck, tell me how kermit is verifying? And tell me how I am supposed to trust her information when I now know where it came from and the circumstances?
Then either post YOUR opinion and back it up, or quit whining.

My whole point is I can't make an educated opinion, I don't have all of the facts and the facts that kermit is bringing over I can't trust knowing how she got them.

I will state one opinion I firmly believe. From what I have read from kermit's posts, as a result of the actions of the aruban authorities, Kyle walked away from that search with a lot of unanswered questions, just the same as us. He is not some culprit in a conspiracy to cover up the discovery of Natalee.

He withheld evidence of a crime scene.

You can't because I never said anything to bash Kyle.

Can you explain what is so special about a person who asked permission to post portions of a  PRIVATE dialog, was NOT given permission, but posted it anyways? That is special? I think it is wrong. You do all understand that Kyle's posts were part of a DIALOG!! amongst trusted friends..or so it appears to me. I doubt this was Kyle talking to himself...so why just post Kyle's portion? Were there others who agreed, disagreed? And you wonder why I keep harping the "out of context" message...because anytime you take posts out of a dialog...you take it out of context!!!!

 

Can you also tell me what is so special about a person who claims they are being "threatened" not to post any additional info..when they have not been? Hey kermit, I saw the "threatening e-mail". You have posted everything else out of context, why withhold the "threats". Because there weren't any.

 

IF...lets assume IF these posts Kermit is posting were taken from a private forum, where confidentiality was SACRED!!!!!!!! so that people could discuss the Persistence search and noodle out ideas, information, facts, theories, fears, etc.....a private forum that was DEDICATED TO FINDING JUSTICE FOR NATALEE!!! where CONFIDENTIALITY had to be SACRED!!!! would you still consider Kermit so "special"?

 

If the posts that Kermit is posting...were SHARED!!! OPENLY!!! not covertly..OPENLY in a P_R_I_V_A_T_E forum...a "think tank" per se, amongst trusted and dedicated people who have spent the last three and a half years dedicated to posting the truth about Aruba and seeking justice for Natalee...would that change your opinions of the information that Kermit is posting at all? Would you then think what was posted was taken out of context. Would you be less likey to question the integrity of Kyle and the members of the Persistence? Would you question then...as I am...Kermit's motives? Is it really the truth she is looking for?


Well, I find that remark particulary offensive.  Just WTF do you think we're all spending time on here doing?

And, btw, all those exclamation points reek off jr high school.

JMO

I agree 1000%. All of this "we are the priviliged few with the inside scoop" pisses me off. I haven't spent 3 /12 years trying to find answers here and then be treated as  "unworthy" of knowing the "REAL" facts. I just as soon you all take your "private forum" and stuff it.

I would have liked to have been a member too...I wasn't invited. The issue is, imho..that those who were invited, agreed to keep the information they discussed confidential. That confidentiality has allowed the group to do some tremendous work. How can it ever continue now when the trust has been broken. that is the biggest shame of it all. I was taught if you give someone your word, you keep it.
Well OBVIOUSLY, Kermit thought the TRUTH (in her opinion) outweighed the "sanctity" of the private forum.

Withholding evidence in a crime is criminal.
I choose to expose the evidence.

It ain't easy being green

You know what else gosh darn it?  Why does the Persistance search have to be so secretive?  That's crap right there.  It is what it is.  We were supposed to be informed step by step throughout the whole search.

If they found something then we should have been told about it right then and there.

Why does what was found in the trap or not have to be kept secret?  That's a bunch of crap.  There is no explanation that can be given to me that can change my mind.  Oooohhhh sent to the FBI well then I should shut my yap?  The FBI has no jurisdiction.



I want Natalee on Alabama soil. 

Aruba can make that happen

No Juctice for Natalee

No tourism for Aruba

I stand with all monkeys who share the truth as they know it.

Let the chips fall where they may

It is like the college Beth found to investigate.. what a joke..They start from ZERO!
 When she already had All of us here who have been with her since day 1 and are better informed then most, as we have done the research. We have been witness to each event.
We have sliced and diced each and every word and action of others involved in this case.
We have also been through the cast of characters so many times I think I know them all personally..
There is no better group to Help Dave and Beth then this group of serious researchers who have been dedicated to helping them solve this case and help in bringing Natalee home. There is a liberal group and a conservative group and all member have good thoughts and direction.
I could name names of the few the proud and the valiant group on various Forums, but you know who they are as they are consistent in research.
 Establishing a elite group out of those, is a good idea and it also stops redundancy of the same questions being asked and answered a million times by people who only come to the forums once in a while to give there opinion when news happens.
I really do not care, just let us know if the Free Birds are the Elite Group, then I will go back to my hobbies and family life and good luck to Dave and Beth.
I know that I have given my all in time and money to help a lost American citizen over the last 3.7 years.. I am happy about that.

If you are not a member of the private forum, why do
you care what Kermit tells?
Are you defending Kyle?  Seems he could defend himself.
Why do you object to Monkeys having this information?
I just don't see why you are in such a state that you
must try to make Kermit appear less than honorable.

I'm throwing the BullShit flag on that one!

Perfect example for any monkeys that might not recognize it -

 - Obfuscation: confuse the facts

 - Circular logic/reasoning: "I don't believe what I say I believe"  "This can't be because I say this other thing can't be.

 - Strawman arguements: Set up a false arena of discussion (ie. doesn't even relate to the point), then argue both sides if necessary to keep it going.

These are just some of the known and studied methods of distraction/disinformation.  Google it.

Not saying it's intentional or not - just that its important to recognize.

DEAR KERMIT,

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE INFORMATION.

SAN


Justice is justice in my opinion..and breaking someone's trust is not the just thing to do.
Ronald Reagan said "Trust, BUT VERIFY". Apparently, Kermit is verifying.

Wreck, tell me how kermit is verifying? And tell me how I am supposed to trust her information when I now know where it came from and the circumstances?
Then either post YOUR opinion and back it up, or quit whining.

My whole point is I can't make an educated opinion, I don't have all of the facts and the facts that kermit is bringing over I can't trust knowing how she got them.

I will state one opinion I firmly believe. From what I have read from kermit's posts, as a result of the actions of the aruban authorities, Kyle walked away from that search with a lot of unanswered questions, just the same as us. He is not some culprit in a conspiracy to cover up the discovery of Natalee.

He withheld evidence of a crime scene.




THATS MY VIEW AS WELL

according to whom?

I'm sure Rob won't mind my answering your question about withholding evidence of a crime as illegal.
It's a law in the United States of America.
Maybe not in Aruba I don't know.

here's the slander imho kermit...I asked you a question...WHO withheld information? Are you saying Kyle? If you are..I am calling bullshit!!! I asked Jug, he said no way. Many have asked you if you discussed this with Beth, I have yet to see a straight answer. So please...tell me...did you discuss with Beth your belief that Kyle withheld evidence..what was her response?

Kyle has had three weeks to post his side - he hides. I have no respect for someone who hides pics, tries to sell them, lies about it, jerks everyone around, and says the family saw everything.

In my opinion, whatever Kyles side is, it cant be explained rationally or it would have been three weeks ago.



could be though that it is a no win situation for him and so he has chosen not to advance it.

Kyle stated that he was involved in the "sampling of the evidence".  Does that mean he actually physically seen the evidence or that he viewed it from the ROV monitor because in another statement it was said that the Aruban divers had their own boat.

Could you clarify this for us if you can since Kyle won't come back and answer some legitimate questions.

Who are the criminals here?  I am still confused...

Please help me understand this...you claim Kyle withheld evidence in a criminal case?  Right?  Can he not be prosecuted for that?  Have you turned him to the FBI for doing this?

Thanks.

I know that you are not confused, with all due respect, however, because I am on the hotseat by your group, I'll post it again:

From Kyle: I have not given anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th

Explanation: Kyle gave the 6 photos that were posted on the Internet at BNH and leaked to SM, at which time Kyle accused Red of doing something wrong.

Thanks for that Tamikosmom,  Now I understand why Klassend feels so strongly there was a body discovered in the trap.  I wish I knew who our Kermit really is as he/she is definitely a special frog!    ::MonkeyWink::

Thanks Red for the reminder about D-Day.  I graduated from HS in '62 and had several friends whose fathers were right there in the mix.  My dad was building roads in the Phillipines with the Army Corps of Engineers.  We owe each and every soldier a great debt of gratitude for what they have done for our freedom.  xox

Hello Scandi,

I do not consider nor proport I am special.
I have, however, been involved in cases exposing criminals all the way to the White House.
Nothing special about me, just expose the truth.

In my opinion, whatever Kyles side is, it cant be explained rationally or it would have been three weeks ago.



My question is if the pictures and information was SO SENSITIVE to the FBI why would Kyle post them on the INTERNET in the first place.  THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM.

I have a thought on all of this and it's contrary to what most feel.  JMO based on what I have been reading here....

Due to jurisdiction and cover-up issues, I'm assuming the FBI was not "invited" to participate in this water search and Kyle knew this.  Kyle had his suspicions of corruption within the ALE himself.  He covertly took pictures of the evidence within the trap with the ROV in the event of a cover-up.

At some point he must have been invited to this "private site", the Freebirds, I guess, which he thought was a confidential place to discuss information.  He shared his suspicions of the pictures with people there he came to trust who knew more about the history of this case than he did.  He was trying to put the pictures in perspective to figure out what his next move would be.  Until he came to a conclusion, he didn't share the pics with the family or the FBI.

With regard to a so called documentary, maybe they thought it was their only alternative to reveal what was found in the trap.  It might be the only way to bring evidence forward without the authorities involved, just like DeVries did.  The FBI couldn't get involved; they weren't invited so any information coming through them couldn't be used.   Klye couldn't go through the ALE, they covered up the evidence.  I can't imagine his frustration at this point.

It saddens me to read his trust was broken, especially among people he felt he could trust enough to share this information with.  Was it the right thing to do, obviously not.  Kyle is young and has many life's lessons to learn, this being one of them. 
 
My hope is that putting Kyle's information on an open forum hasn't hurt the case in anyway.   

We need to remain focused and stop the infighting.  We are all here for the same purpose.....to find answers for Natalee and her family.

One more question. The info you are bringing to SM that was uncovered by you. Were others aware of this info? Do THEY agree that Kyle withheld info from the FBI?

Hi Snoopy,

It is my understanding that according to Kyle, ONLY the ARUBAN divers took the evidence from the trap and they dove from their boat and returned to their boat with that evidence. No one on board the Persistence had that evidence that we can clearly see in the plastic bags. Kyle's expertise stated that it looked like blue denim in one of the bags and that it clearly moved with the current, indicating that it was material.

I have a thought on all of this and it's contrary to what most feel.  JMO based on what I have been reading here....

Due to jurisdiction and cover-up issues, I'm assuming the FBI was not "invited" to participate in this water search and Kyle knew this.  Kyle had his suspicions of corruption within the ALE himself.  He covertly took pictures of the evidence within the trap with the ROV in the event of a cover-up.

At some point he must have been invited to this "private site", the Freebirds, I guess, which he thought was a confidential place to discuss information.  He shared his suspicions of the pictures with people there he came to trust who knew more about the history of this case than he did.  He was trying to put the pictures in perspective to figure out what his next move would be.  Until he came to a conclusion, he didn't share the pics with the family or the FBI.

With regard to a so called documentary, maybe they thought it was their only alternative to reveal what was found in the trap.  It might be the only way to bring evidence forward without the authorities involved, just like DeVries did.  The FBI couldn't get involved; they weren't invited so any information coming through them couldn't be used.   Klye couldn't go through the ALE, they covered up the evidence.  I can't imagine his frustration at this point.

It saddens me to read his trust was broken, especially among people he felt he could trust enough to share this information with.  Was it the right thing to do, obviously not.  Kyle is young and has many life's lessons to learn, this being one of them. 
 
My hope is that putting Kyle's information on an open forum hasn't hurt the case in anyway.   

We need to remain focused and stop the infighting.  We are all here for the same purpose.....to find answers for Natalee and her family.



Pita - I would agree with you that Kyle is young and has many life's lessons to learn if he hadn't been warned in the VERY BEGINNING.

Kyle is highly intelligent but if he's that naive then he has NO BUSINESS dealing with sensitive information because he has NO CLUE.

When you have serious questions concerning something the FBI is or should be involved in you DO NOT take that info to a private forum and ask "What should I do with this?".  I am guessing someone on that boat informed him to butt out and never bring the subject up again.

withholding of evidence of a crime is illegal, intentionally trying to sell the photos for personal gain is a crime, I think, maybe the frog is wrong.  ::MonkeyConfused::


From Kyle: "I have not given anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th"

Kyle: "From Kyle: May 8, 2008: "I've talked with Peter Shouten numerous times back in February. He hasn't seen anything but knows about the blue fabrics. DeVries and Endemol was interested in purchasing the ROV footage and I was working between them, ABC, and CBS to strike a deal."

It seems to me that if Kyle had put those images on a

had to account for the evidence before they could dispose
of it.
He gave them plenty of time to cover it up.

could be though that it is a no win situation for him and so he has chosen not to advance it.

Lisa, this is not about winning or losing THIS IS ABOUT THE TRUTH - NO MATTER WHERE IT LEADS

Rob, I don't have a problem with the truth. I want it as bad as anyone else here. I am just saying, it appears to me that kermit was privy to some information that the rest of us did not have access to. She chose to bring it to SM. I am not saying that is bad!!! No one better to investigate than the Monkeys. It's here and it's being discussed. but kermit doesn't have to bash kyle in the process!! It appears kyle gave her access to that info to begim with!!

Bottom line...kermit did not not "uncover" some great big conspiracy, she brought over information that was being discussed elsewhere. lets call a spade a spade is all I am saying. No need to tear apart Kyle to do that.
Please give it a rest.......You've made Your point....We have more important things to discuss without all of this hoopla....going on.....I mean this in the nicest way.....Seriously...... ::MonkeyWink::

did you read my post at all? There was no big discovery here. She copied and posted from a forum...duuuuh!!! Great detective work!!

And as far as I am concerned...we all knew that the aruban authories were the ones who collected the evidence. Where's the conspiracy? Once again...the arubans gathered the evidence. What they did with it after no one knows but the aruban authorites. We can only guess and speculate.

I wasn't aware of the Aruban authorities hiring the Persistence to search for Natalee, or of any funding that the Aruban authorities provided for this search for Natalee.  If the Persistence mission was only intended to provide every find from the mission to the Aruban authorities, we should have all been aware of that!  We should not have been ASKED what they should do with what they found!  They obviously didn't care what our responses were to that question, because if they indeed let them leave with every bit of evidence from that cage; that was the intent from the beginning.  If it wasn't what made them decide that was the RIGHT thing to do?  Free meals and drinks at Hooters, free lodging?  I want to know what made them decide to trust giving ALL of the evidence to the Aruban authorities!  I still hope I find out they didn't, when and if anyone decides we might have some kind of right to know this!

Do you think the crew of the Persistence had any say in that? They were in aruban waters. arubans were calling the shots. Do you remember how many times Tim Miller wanted to go back and search and they said no. Could it be that it was out of their hands?

Tim Miller KNEW the Aruban authorities could not be trusted with ALL of the evidence.  Seems to me that's part of WHY he was considered a liability on that boat.  To answer your question, HELL YES, the Persistence crew had a say in the matter; the fact that Tim Miller was not on board when the evidence was collected says it all!  JMO, from the information I have.

After all we have known, and what we have seen and now the admission about van der Stratten, tell me one little reason that anyone should believe that the contents taken by the Aruban divers were shared honestly with the FBI.

did you read my post at all? There was no big discovery here. She copied and posted from a forum...duuuuh!!! Great detective work!!

And as far as I am concerned...we all knew that the aruban authories were the ones who collected the evidence. Where's the conspiracy? Once again...the arubans gathered the evidence. What they did with it after no one knows but the aruban authorites. We can only guess and speculate.

But did they share?  Did they give the proper samples to the FBI? 

After all we have known, and what we have seen and now the admission about van der Stratten, tell me one little reason that anyone should believe that the contents taken by the Aruban divers were shared honestly with the FBI. I wouldn't believe it. I am sure that is what we are expected to believe.

I don't think anyone believes that..including Kyle..and that was most likely his reason for discussing what he learned in the forum where kermit is getting his posts.

Hello everyone,

Bestbuddy from SM is going to be in Aruba 05/31 and
will hand-deliver some documents to the Holloways and
Twittys for us.



TO ANSWER THE QUESTION REGARDING HOTSHOT AND BESTBUDDY IN ARUBA

BB paid for all of Kaths meals etc. Kath came up with her ticket and I think they paid the rest, hotel, etc.



Good I am glad you posted this, it just goes to show how much you DON'T know.  You sent that with BestBuddy, not me.  Dave was on a hunting trip when I was in Aruba, but I guess you already know that,...."you know everything".  That was Bestbuddies first trip to Aruba, and obviously I wasn't there.  I went in Jan of 2006.......So, stop putting the blame on me....  And for you to spew the details of who paid and who didnt was a very insecure person.  You are out for one thing, and one thing only, and that is yourself.

All I know is there was remains in the cage. The Aruban's took the evidence. IF the ROV unit was not filming, we'd never have known and Kyle captured the screenshots that were posted at SM which he did not hand over to the FBI when he returned to the U.S.

I call BULLSHIT again!! FBI has all the footage.
And No one but the arubans KNOW what was in that cage. Be honest with the Monkeys Kermit, Kyle was just as concerned as the Monkeys with what was in that cage. THAT is why he shared that info you are bringing here in a forum...with MANY other people.

That's a bullshit answer.  It's his fault.  Live and learn.

WHAT is his fault?


Put up or shut up.

Come here to defend himself or shut up about what he did.  He opened his mouth now live with it.

San, that is totally uncalled for. I have explained in detail, without bashing anyone, my concerns with what Kermit is doing.

what kermit IS doing? Lisa please - get a grip here. kermit did nothing at all wrong and should be commended for having the balls ovaries to do the right thing. kyle got schooled and need to learn right from wrong and at his age, he should have already known. this is the biggest missing person's case ever and he DAMM SURE knew that going in.

Kermit who are the Experts ?

See now, that is a good question.  Thanks Johan  ::MonkeyWink::

i have every day 1 good question  lol  ::MonkeyWink::
to the point !

and darnit...my understanding from all that you posted is that Kyle walked away with some questions that were not answered for him by the aruban authorities...is that a fair question?

and he was trying to noodle out some questions he had about what happened in Aruba in a forum that he felt safe to, with people he respected..is that also a fair question?

and one more question, is it fair to say that the only people who KNOW what was in that crab trap are the aruban authorities who took the contents away? That the family doesn't "know", that Kyle doesn't "know", that you don't "know"..and that once again, aruba left us with more questions than answers? Is that a fair statement?

ldstlou ,We don't know for a fact that someone didn't walk away with some evidence.
 I do know now, that's it's against the law if they did.
   they were  in Aruba's water so it is considered ARUBA's evidence.
To tell you the truth If I was on that ship and I saw something that looked like evidence.
 I would have taken a piece of it and sent to the FBI, and I would have gotten arrested for it.
So this may be why Kyle is not talking. JMO

Meanwhile, Beth and Dave suffer and Natalee remains dead for another Christmas. And all this energy is wasted.

At a moment when we are starting, long over-due, to look at the first 48 hours and a direct  accusation of what we've known all along, you're focusing of underwater pictures?

Skipping past the van der straaten involvement, the van der sloot house, and the actual crimes committed against Natalee in her last moments?

And by Paulus van der sloot when she was alive.

How can anyone picture Natalee's face right now and waste time making this about anything other than bringing her home?

Confrontation can be a great moment in the creative process but this ain't it.

If the work done and support shown all these years by the Scared Monkeys is so damn trivial and unnecessary, and we're going to keep being reminded that 'you all' know things we don't know, then I'm ready to hear from Red just what the hell we're all doing here and if it even matters to Natalee's family or not.

Pita  I understand what you are saying, but in this particular case nothing should have been kept from Beth.  She has proven time and time again that she can keep quiet and not reveal information that would have hurt the case.

This is really what angered me the most was that Beth was not informed completely about every little detail.  She had a right to know, and she should have been trusted.  I'm afraid that the decisions that were made were done for monitary gain.

If Kyle would come back here and explain his side I would listen.  I took the blinders off many years ago.

I would also like to say that I applaud the work the Freebirds have done.  They have done some amazing work.

What I don't understand is why the Persistence search had to be so secretive.  I don't see why that was necessary.  We already knew that Aruba wouldn't do the right thing.

It is my opinion that some motives were not honorable.

Why was there even a question about giving all of the information to Beth?

Why wasn't ALL of the information given to the FBI immediately?  Why?

It's time to take the gloves off and reveal what is known.  I truly don't believe at this point that any information revealed will prevent justice.

Kermit

Kyle stated that he was involved in the "sampling of the evidence".  Does that mean he actually physically seen the evidence or that he viewed it from the ROV monitor because in another statement it was said that the Aruban divers had their own boat.

Could you clarify this for us if you can since Kyle won't come back and answer some legitimate questions.

TIA

Hi Snoopy,

It is my understanding that according to Kyle, ONLY the ARUBAN divers took the evidence from the trap and they dove from their boat and returned to their boat with that evidence. No one on board the Persistence had that evidence that we can clearly see in the plastic bags. Kyle's expertise stated that it looked like blue denim in one of the bags and that it clearly moved with the current, indicating that it was material.




Thank you Kermit.  That's what I thought but was confused by the "sampling" part.

There appears to be some kind of power struggle going on.  I'd really like to know how others that were members of the "private" forum feel about Kermit's posts.  Seems there are some that are feeling betrayed by Kyle and others that feel betrayed by Kermit.  Personally, I don't know what to believe.

About the cage and the pics.  It looks to me that there very wll may have been human remains in that cage, who's remains I don't know.  What happened to the evidence from the cage I don't know.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM.  Information always leaks out, people always get mad.  That is why we have no private areas at SM.


The original ROV images ... the six that Kyle sent to the FBI and ... then passed on to Dave Holloway were posted in a private internet forum  by his wife.  However ... the ROV images did not remain there.  As Klaas said, "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM".  Falling outs occur all the time and ... private no longer is private.

The recently ROV images that the Aruban were not given an opportunity to destroy ... images that were not among the six that Kyle originally sent to the FBI .. were sent in an email to Kermit by Kyle.  Also ... Kyle shared his concerns and observations with Kermit in email communications ... concerns and observations which implied that everything taking place aboad the Persistence was not about justice for Natalee Holloway.

Apparently ... according to Kermit ... once the search has ended ... Kyle's initial intentions were honorable.  He intended to share everything shared with Kermit ... observations, concerns and unrevealed ROV images ... with the FBI and the family of Natalee Holloway.  At this point in time ...  Kermit was quiet regarding all the Kyle had shared with him.

However ... somewhere along the line Kyle had a change of heart and ... rather than contacting the FBI and Natalee's family with his concerns, observations and ROV images ... he made the decision to make a deal by contacting major networks.  He would not back down and ... this is why ... rather than being a party to the apparent Persistance coverup ... Kermit contacted the FBI ... Natalee's family and shared his knowledge.  Only then did he post all her had been privied to by Kyle on the SM forum.

I for one am thankful.  I made a one time substantial donation through TES very early on to the planned search endeavor.  I believe that entitles me to be informed if maybe ... just maybe ... I was supporting a search and destroy evidence mission ... a mission where there was collaboration with those who have put a family through a H--- on Earth by protecting Joran and Paulus van der Sloot from participation in the events that encompasses the morning of May 30, 2005 ... the morning when an American citizen went missing and ... was never seen again.

common sense goes a long ways.
The only thing you have done is make hate and discontent IMO.  Those who are behind you, have alot to think about.  For what I know, "first hand" and what they don't, they'd be amazed on how you spewed only the half answers of what YOU want to be heard.  You have done nothing.  Go ahead and smear my name if it makes you feel good.......  Christian my ass.


If I have only exposed 1/2 of the answers, please feel free to give the other 1/2.


If you feel it was moi who (in your words = "smeared" your name, you are mistaken.
I was informed about that information regarding your trip to Aruba with Bestbuddy.
You just stated it was true. How can you blame me for that? Upsurd.


Give it all to us, Kermit.

Sorry johann I was trying my best to answer the other questions from way back and still can't get to them.
BUT to answer YOUR question, at this time, the FBI does have the information as well as Beth and Dave and John Q. Kelly.



The information about the experts (names etc .)  or what there was in the cage ?

ALL INFORMATION was handed over to the individuals I listed.

I know that!
By whom? You? If you single handedly solved the conspiracy, than I am assuming you turned over the info to the family and FBI?

Or am i wrong ?

The information was not given to Beth nor Dave nor the FBI by Kyle. He admitted he withheld it.
FOR MONTHS after his return from the search in Aruba wherein he had photos and information.

From Kyle: I have not given anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th

From Kyle: May 8, 2008: "I've talked with Peter Shouten numerous times back in February. He hasn't seen anything but knows about the blue fabrics. DeVries and Endemol was interested in purchasing the ROV footage and I was working between them, ABC, and CBS to strike a deal."

Recently, the information has been given to Beth, Dave and the FBI.

Who are the criminals here?  I am still confused...

Please help me understand this...you claim Kyle withheld evidence in a criminal case?  Right?  Can he not be prosecuted for that?  Have you turned him to the FBI for doing this?

Thanks.

I know that you are not confused, with all due respect, however, because I am on the hotseat by your group, I'll post it again:

From Kyle: I have not given anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th

Explanation: Kyle gave the 6 photos that were posted on the Internet at BNH and leaked to SM, at which time Kyle accused Red of doing something wrong.



SEE this is against the law, to take evidence from Aruba to the USA now if he did for Beth to get answers then he would be a HERO, but if he did this for personal gain that would be Bullshit.
He most likely would still be in trouble with USA for doing this.

Meanwhile, Beth and Dave suffer and Natalee remains dead for another Christmas. And all this energy is wasted.

At a moment when we are starting, long over-due, to look at the first 48 hours and a direct  accusation of what we've known all along, you're focusing of underwater pictures?

Skipping past the van der straaten involvement, the van der sloot house, and the actual crimes committed against Natalee in her last moments?

And by Paulus van der sloot when she was alive.

How can anyone picture Natalee's face right now and waste time making this about anything other than bringing her home?

Confrontation can be a great moment in the creative process but this ain't it.

Thanks, Frank.

I'm spending my energy writing to the members of the Dutch parliament, asking that they initiate an investigation of the corruption in the Aruban government, resulting in the violation of Natalee Holloway's human rights. 

Information provided by Caesu snipped from post on page five of this thread:

so through article 43 is the only option for Aruba

that's why i keep repeating that it is important to contact the Dutch members of Parliament.
and the coming week is crucial with debates on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - leading op to the Round Table Conference between the three Prime-Ministers with Balkenende presiding in Curaçao on December 15th.


list of members of Parliament of the Aruban/Antilles committee:
http://www.tweedekamer.nl/kamerleden/commissies/NAAZ/index.jsp#0
names on top of the list are the highest ranking members.
(e-mail will appear if you click on a name and "Naar persoonlijke pagina").


As soon as I figure out the etiquette for writing to a member of the Dutch Parliament, I am writing them all.
Wanna help me? ::MonkeyWink::

What was her response?

Lisa you are trying to get Kermit to answer questions so you can ask Jug to ask Beth if this happened.
 
Stop it already.

San I am asking legitimate questions!!!
If Kermit believes Kyle was withholding info, I would think Beth was the first person she would go to. I just want to know if she did and if Beth agreed?


How about we ask a bunch questions for Kyle and you can ask him to answer them for us.

I'm sure he won't mind.

This made me smile. Thank you San.

Kyle has had three weeks to post his side - he hides. I have no respect for someone who hides pics, tries to sell them, lies about it, jerks everyone around, and says the family saw everything.

In my opinion, whatever Kyles side is, it cant be explained rationally or it would have been three weeks ago.



could be though that it is a no win situation for him and so he has chosen not to advance it.

Lisa, this is not about winning or losing THIS IS ABOUT THE TRUTH - NO MATTER WHERE IT LEADS

Rob, I don't have a problem with the truth. I want it as bad as anyone else here. I am just saying, it appears to me that kermit was privy to some information that the rest of us did not have access to. She chose to bring it to SM. I am not saying that is bad!!! No one better to investigate than the Monkeys. It's here and it's being discussed. but kermit doesn't have to bash kyle in the process!! It appears kyle gave her access to that info to begim with!!

Bottom line...kermit did not not "uncover" some great big conspiracy, she brought over information that was being discussed elsewhere. lets call a spade a spade is all I am saying. No need to tear apart Kyle to do that.
Please give it a rest.......You've made Your point....We have more important things to discuss without all of this hoopla....going on.....I mean this in the nicest way.....Seriously...... ::MonkeyWink::

did you read my post at all? There was no big discovery here. She copied and posted from a forum...duuuuh!!! Great detective work!!

And as far as I am concerned...we all knew that the aruban authories were the ones who collected the evidence. Where's the conspiracy? Once again...the arubans gathered the evidence. What they did with it after no one knows but the aruban authorites. We can only guess and speculate.

I wasn't aware of the Aruban authorities hiring the Persistence to search for Natalee, or of any funding that the Aruban authorities provided for this search for Natalee.  If the Persistence mission was only intended to provide every find from the mission to the Aruban authorities, we should have all been aware of that!  We should not have been ASKED what they should do with what they found!  They obviously didn't care what our responses were to that question, because if they indeed let them leave with every bit of evidence from that cage; that was the intent from the beginning.  If it wasn't what made them decide that was the RIGHT thing to do?  Free meals and drinks at Hooters, free lodging?  I want to know what made them decide to trust giving ALL of the evidence to the Aruban authorities!  I still hope I find out they didn't, when and if anyone decides we might have some kind of right to know this!

Do you think the crew of the Persistence had any say in that? They were in aruban waters. arubans were calling the shots. Do you remember how many times Tim Miller wanted to go back and search and they said no. Could it be that it was out of their hands?

I'm sorry but I don't agree.  When dealing with shady  bas....ds you do whatcha gotta do.  They  (the Persistence)should have went down to that trap while videoing to protect the chain of command......investigated the trap........while documenting everything and then called in the Aruban authorities.  I would have also told their sorry asses that I had already gone down there....documented everything......taken a sample and now they can do whatever they want to.  Keep their feet to the fire and keep them honest.  They wouldn't have had a choice but to do the right thing.  But that wasn't done.  That's a shame and they should have known better.

There appears to be some kind of power struggle going on.  I'd really like to know how others that were members of the "private" forum feel about Kermit's posts.  Seems there are some that are feeling betrayed by Kyle and others that feel betrayed by Kermit.  Personally, I don't know what to believe.

About the cage and the pics.  It looks to me that there very wll may have been human remains in that cage, who's remains I don't know.  What happened to the evidence from the cage I don't know.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM.  Information always leaks out, people always get mad.  That is why we have no private areas at SM.


The original ROV images ... the six that Kyle sent to the FBI and ... then passed on to Dave Holloway were posted in a private internet forum  by his wife.  However ... the ROV images did not remain there.  As Klaas said, "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM".  Falling outs occur all the time and ... private no longer is private. Actually they were posted at BNH which is only private in that only members could read but anyone could become a member.  Those particular first pics were emailed to me after being posted at BNH. 

The recently ROV images that the Aruban were not given an opportunity to destroy ... images that were not among the six that Kyle originally sent to the FBI .. were sent in an email to Kermit by Kyle.  Also ... Kyle shared his concerns and observations with Kermit in email communications ... concerns and observations which implied that everything taking place aboad the Persistence was not about justice for Natalee Holloway.

Apparently ... according to Kermit ... once the search has ended ... Kyle's initial intentions were honorable.  He intended to share everything shared with Kermit ... observations, concerns and unrevealed ROV images ... with the FBI and the family of Natalee Holloway.  At this point in time ...  Kermit was quiet regarding all the Kyle had shared with him.

Kermit contacted the FBI ... Natalee's family and shared his knowledge.  Only then did he post all her had been privied to by Kyle on the SM forum.  And the truth about this SHOULD be told and I mean we need to know what the absolute truth is.

I for one am thankful.  I made a one time substantial donation through TES very early on to the planned search endeavor.  I believe that entitles me to be informed if maybe ... just maybe ... I was supporting a search and destroy evidence mission ... a mission where there was collaboration with those who have put a family through a H--- on Earth by protecting Joran and Paulus van der Sloot from participation in the events that encompasses the morning of May 30, 2005 ... the morning when an American citizen went missing and ... was never seen again.

It seems to me that if Kyle had put those images on a
public forum in the beginning, the Arubans would have
had to account for the evidence before they could dispose
of it.
He gave them plenty of time to cover it up.

In my opinion, whatever Kyles side is, it cant be explained rationally or it would have been three weeks ago.



My question is if the pictures and information was SO SENSITIVE to the FBI why would Kyle post them on the INTERNET in the first place.  THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM.

I have a thought on all of this and it's contrary to what most feel.  JMO based on what I have been reading here....

Due to jurisdiction and cover-up issues, I'm assuming the FBI was not "invited" to participate in this water search and Kyle knew this.  Kyle had his suspicions of corruption within the ALE himself.  He covertly took pictures of the evidence within the trap with the ROV in the event of a cover-up.

At some point he must have been invited to this "private site", the Freebirds, I guess, which he thought was a confidential place to discuss information.  He shared his suspicions of the pictures with people there he came to trust who knew more about the history of this case than he did.  He was trying to put the pictures in perspective to figure out what his next move would be.  Until he came to a conclusion, he didn't share the pics with the family or the FBI.

With regard to a so called documentary, maybe they thought it was their only alternative to reveal what was found in the trap.  It might be the only way to bring evidence forward without the authorities involved, just like DeVries did.  The FBI couldn't get involved; they weren't invited so any information coming through them couldn't be used.   Klye couldn't go through the ALE, they covered up the evidence.  I can't imagine his frustration at this point.

It saddens me to read his trust was broken, especially among people he felt he could trust enough to share this information with.  Was it the right thing to do, obviously not.  Kyle is young and has many life's lessons to learn, this being one of them. 
 
My hope is that putting Kyle's information on an open forum hasn't hurt the case in anyway.   

We need to remain focused and stop the infighting.  We are all here for the same purpose.....to find answers for Natalee and her family.



Pita - I would agree with you that Kyle is young and has many life's lessons to learn if he hadn't been warned in the VERY BEGINNING.

Kyle is highly intelligent but if he's that naive then he has NO BUSINESS dealing with sensitive information because he has NO CLUE.

Who warned him?  Yes, I'd imagine Kyle is very intelligent.  It seems many at a private site were dealing with sensitive information besides him.  Do they not have a clue either?  And what makes it right to post sensitive information on a public forum if it is relevant to an ongoing missing person's case?

Kyle has had three weeks to post his side - he hides. I have no respect for someone who hides pics, tries to sell them, lies about it, jerks everyone around, and says the family saw everything.

In my opinion, whatever Kyles side is, it cant be explained rationally or it would have been three weeks ago.



My question is if the pictures and information was SO SENSITIVE to the FBI why would Kyle post them on the INTERNET in the first place.  THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM.

I have a thought on all of this and it's contrary to what most feel.  JMO based on what I have been reading here....

Due to jurisdiction and cover-up issues, I'm assuming the FBI was not "invited" to participate in this water search and Kyle knew this.  Kyle had his suspicions of corruption within the ALE himself.  He covertly took pictures of the evidence within the trap with the ROV in the event of a cover-up.

At some point he must have been invited to this "private site", the Freebirds, I guess, which he thought was a confidential place to discuss information.  He shared his suspicions of the pictures with people there he came to trust who knew more about the history of this case than he did.  He was trying to put the pictures in perspective to figure out what his next move would be.  Until he came to a conclusion, he didn't share the pics with the family or the FBI.

With regard to a so called documentary, maybe they thought it was their only alternative to reveal what was found in the trap.  It might be the only way to bring evidence forward without the authorities involved, just like DeVries did.  The FBI couldn't get involved; they weren't invited so any information coming through them couldn't be used.   Klye couldn't go through the ALE, they covered up the evidence.  I can't imagine his frustration at this point.

It saddens me to read his trust was broken, especially among people he felt he could trust enough to share this information with.  Was it the right thing to do, obviously not.  Kyle is young and has many life's lessons to learn, this being one of them.

Kyle is highly intelligent but if he's that naive then he has NO BUSINESS dealing with sensitive information because he has NO CLUE.

When you have serious questions concerning something the FBI is or should be involved in you DO NOT take that info to a private forum and ask "What should I do with this?".  I am guessing someone on that boat informed him to butt out and never bring the subject up again.

ok...but isn't that what kermit has been doing. Bring serious questions she has concerning something the FBI should be involved in to SM.

If she really was concerned...should SHE have kept it quiet and gone to the family and the FBI instead of SM?

Knowing Kermit she already did ,then shared it with SM

could be though that it is a no win situation for him and so he has chosen not to advance it.

Lisa, this is not about winning or losing THIS IS ABOUT THE TRUTH - NO MATTER WHERE IT LEADS

Rob, I don't have a problem with the truth. I want it as bad as anyone else here. I am just saying, it appears to me that kermit was privy to some information that the rest of us did not have access to. She chose to bring it to SM. I am not saying that is bad!!! No one better to investigate than the Monkeys. It's here and it's being discussed. but kermit doesn't have to bash kyle in the process!! It appears kyle gave her access to that info to begim with!!

Bottom line...kermit did not not "uncover" some great big conspiracy, she brought over information that was being discussed elsewhere. lets call a spade a spade is all I am saying. No need to tear apart Kyle to do that.
Please give it a rest.......You've made Your point....We have more important things to discuss without all of this hoopla....going on.....I mean this in the nicest way.....Seriously...... ::MonkeyWink::

did you read my post at all? There was no big discovery here. She copied and posted from a forum...duuuuh!!! Great detective work!!

And as far as I am concerned...we all knew that the aruban authories were the ones who collected the evidence. Where's the conspiracy? Once again...the arubans gathered the evidence. What they did with it after no one knows but the aruban authorites. We can only guess and speculate.

I wasn't aware of the Aruban authorities hiring the Persistence to search for Natalee, or of any funding that the Aruban authorities provided for this search for Natalee.  If the Persistence mission was only intended to provide every find from the mission to the Aruban authorities, we should have all been aware of that!  We should not have been ASKED what they should do with what they found!  They obviously didn't care what our responses were to that question, because if they indeed let them leave with every bit of evidence from that cage; that was the intent from the beginning.  If it wasn't what made them decide that was the RIGHT thing to do?  Free meals and drinks at Hooters, free lodging?  I want to know what made them decide to trust giving ALL of the evidence to the Aruban authorities!  I still hope I find out they didn't, when and if anyone decides we might have some kind of right to know this!

Do you think the crew of the Persistence had any say in that? They were in aruban waters. arubans were calling the shots. Do you remember how many times Tim Miller wanted to go back and search and they said no. Could it be that it was out of their hands?

I'm sorry but I don't agree.  When dealing with shady  bas....ds you do whatcha gotta do.  They  (the Persistence)should have went down to that trap while videoing to protect the chain of command......investigated the trap........while documenting everything and then called in the Aruban authorities.  I would have also told their sorry asses that I had already gone down there....documented everything......taken a sample and now they can do whatever they want to.  Keep their feet to the fire and keep them honest.  They wouldn't have had a choice but to do the right thing.  But that wasn't done.  That's a shame and they should have known better.

I agree.
It's not like the RV Persistence, it's crew and it's owner didn't know about the Arubans, that is why they were called in!

2. to make obscure or unclear: to obfuscate a problem with extraneous information. 
3. to darken.

Sometimes the Monkeys call this misinformation or disinformation.  Characteristics of an obfuscator are:
1. repeating the same irrelevant and obtuse questions,
2. posting long quotes,
3. quoting yourself, ad infinatum,
4. focusing on minor and irrelevant points for pages and pages,
5. name-calling and hyperbole,
6. frequent use of capital letters and exclamation points to indicate excitability and emotion,
7. adopting an "I know this" attitude while never providing proof of knowledge,
8. and finally, when the obfuscator is uncovered, leaving the forum in an emotional outburst.

So the  FBI  has the entire tape  ? Or only 6 screencaps ?

All things Holloway were stripped from the boat. Kyle said.
The video, the logs etc. John Silvetti has that.

FBI, has in their possession the information I know about.

That is all I will elaborate at this time about.

Kyle has had three weeks to post his side - he hides. I have no respect for someone who hides pics, tries to sell them, lies about it, jerks everyone around, and says the family saw everything.

In my opinion, whatever Kyles side is, it cant be explained rationally or it would have been three weeks ago.



could be though that it is a no win situation for him and so he has chosen not to advance it.

Lisa, this is not about winning or losing THIS IS ABOUT THE TRUTH - NO MATTER WHERE IT LEADS

Rob, I don't have a problem with the truth. I want it as bad as anyone else here. I am just saying, it appears to me that kermit was privy to some information that the rest of us did not have access to. She chose to bring it to SM. I am not saying that is bad!!! No one better to investigate than the Monkeys. It's here and it's being discussed. but kermit doesn't have to bash kyle in the process!! It appears kyle gave her access to that info to begim with!!

Bottom line...kermit did not not "uncover" some great big conspiracy, she brought over information that was being discussed elsewhere. lets call a spade a spade is all I am saying. No need to tear apart Kyle to do that.
Please give it a rest.......You've made Your point....We have more important things to discuss without all of this hoopla....going on.....I mean this in the nicest way.....Seriously...... ::MonkeyWink::

did you read my post at all? There was no big discovery here. She copied and posted from a forum...duuuuh!!! Great detective work!!

And as far as I am concerned...we all knew that the aruban authories were the ones who collected the evidence. Where's the conspiracy? Once again...the arubans gathered the evidence. What they did with it after no one knows but the aruban authorites. We can only guess and speculate.

I wasn't aware of the Aruban authorities hiring the Persistence to search for Natalee, or of any funding that the Aruban authorities provided for this search for Natalee.  If the Persistence mission was only intended to provide every find from the mission to the Aruban authorities, we should have all been aware of that!  We should not have been ASKED what they should do with what they found!  They obviously didn't care what our responses were to that question, because if they indeed let them leave with every bit of evidence from that cage; that was the intent from the beginning.  If it wasn't what made them decide that was the RIGHT thing to do?  Free meals and drinks at Hooters, free lodging?  I want to know what made them decide to trust giving ALL of the evidence to the Aruban authorities!  I still hope I find out they didn't, when and if anyone decides we might have some kind of right to know this!

Do you think the crew of the Persistence had any say in that? They were in aruban waters. arubans were calling the shots. Do you remember how many times Tim Miller wanted to go back and search and they said no. Could it be that it was out of their hands?

I'm sorry but I don't agree.  When dealing with shady  bas....ds you do whatcha gotta do.  They  (the Persistence)should have went down to that trap while videoing to protect the chain of command......investigated the trap........while documenting everything and then called in the Aruban authorities.  I would have also told their sorry asses that I had already gone down there....documented everything......taken a sample and now they can do whatever they want to.  Keep their feet to the fire and keep them honest.  They wouldn't have had a choice but to do the right thing.  But that wasn't done.  That's a shame and they should have known better.

I agree.
It's not like the RV Persistence, it's crew and it's owner didn't know about the Arubans, that is why they were called in!

December 30 Kyle says John definitely believed the Arubans at their every word when they said on Dec 30th that it was nothing case relevant

no shit sherlock...thats your big revelation?


Are you addressing me or Pita?




you, and you know why. You know what caused Kyle to change his mind because you were in the forum where he was sharing his doubts about what transpired after. So what is the big revelation here?

The "big revelation" (written with a snearing and derogatory attitude) is that Kermit brought the Monkeys pictures they had not seen before to discuss and emails from someone on the scene for explanations.  Yup, it is a BIG REVELATION, but probably not in the way you attempted to describe.

In my opinion, whatever Kyles side is, it cant be explained rationally or it would have been three weeks ago.



My question is if the pictures and information was SO SENSITIVE to the FBI why would Kyle post them on the INTERNET in the first place.  THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM.

I have a thought on all of this and it's contrary to what most feel.  JMO based on what I have been reading here....

Due to jurisdiction and cover-up issues, I'm assuming the FBI was not "invited" to participate in this water search and Kyle knew this.  Kyle had his suspicions of corruption within the ALE himself.  He covertly took pictures of the evidence within the trap with the ROV in the event of a cover-up.

At some point he must have been invited to this "private site", the Freebirds, I guess, which he thought was a confidential place to discuss information.  He shared his suspicions of the pictures with people there he came to trust who knew more about the history of this case than he did.  He was trying to put the pictures in perspective to figure out what his next move would be.  Until he came to a conclusion, he didn't share the pics with the family or the FBI.

With regard to a so called documentary, maybe they thought it was their only alternative to reveal what was found in the trap.  It might be the only way to bring evidence forward without the authorities involved, just like DeVries did.  The FBI couldn't get involved; they weren't invited so any information coming through them couldn't be used.   Klye couldn't go through the ALE, they covered up the evidence.  I can't imagine his frustration at this point.

It saddens me to read his trust was broken, especially among people he felt he could trust enough to share this information with.  Was it the right thing to do, obviously not.  Kyle is young and has many life's lessons to learn, this being one of them. 
 
My hope is that putting Kyle's information on an open forum hasn't hurt the case in anyway.   

We need to remain focused and stop the infighting.  We are all here for the same purpose.....to find answers for Natalee and her family.



withholding of evidence of a crime is illegal, intentionally trying to sell the photos for personal gain is a crime, I think, maybe the frog is wrong.  ::MonkeyConfused::


From Kyle: "I have not given anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th"

Kyle: "From Kyle: May 8, 2008: "I've talked with Peter Shouten numerous times back in February. He hasn't seen anything but knows about the blue fabrics. DeVries and Endemol was interested in purchasing the ROV footage and I was working between them, ABC, and CBS to strike a deal."





Kyle says to strike a deal.  I don't see where it says for his personal gain.  Could he have been looking to sell the rights to the pictures for a documentary to reveal the coverup, similar to what Peter DeVries did with Joran's confession?

Kermit, since you admitted to working on criminal cases in the past, maybe you can answer this question.  IIRC, the evidence was collected in Aruban waters and is under Aruban jurisdiction.  From what I have seen in this case, withholding of evidence is obviously not a crime under Aruban law; in fact it seems like they welcome it.   ::MonkeyConfused::     Here in America withholding evidence is a crime.  Would this fall under Aruban or US jurisdiction then? 

Also, in a prior post Kyle said he gave the information to the FBI and the family.   Is there a time limit on bringing evidence forward?

There appears to be some kind of power struggle going on.  I'd really like to know how others that were members of the "private" forum feel about Kermit's posts.  Seems there are some that are feeling betrayed by Kyle and others that feel betrayed by Kermit.  Personally, I don't know what to believe.

About the cage and the pics.  It looks to me that there very wll may have been human remains in that cage, who's remains I don't know.  What happened to the evidence from the cage I don't know.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM.  Information always leaks out, people always get mad.  That is why we have no private areas at SM.


The original ROV images ... the six that Kyle sent to the FBI and ... then passed on to Dave Holloway were posted in a private internet forum  by his wife.  However ... the ROV images did not remain there.  As Klaas said, "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM".  Falling outs occur all the time and ... private no longer is private.

The recently ROV images that the Aruban were not given an opportunity to destroy ... images that were not among the six that Kyle originally sent to the FBI .. were sent in an email to Kermit by Kyle.  Also ... Kyle shared his concerns and observations with Kermit in email communications ... concerns and observations which implied that everything taking place aboad the Persistence was not about justice for Natalee Holloway.

Apparently ... according to Kermit ... once the search has ended ... Kyle's initial intentions were honorable.  He intended to share everything shared with Kermit ... observations, concerns and unrevealed ROV images ... with the FBI and the family of Natalee Holloway.  At this point in time ...  Kermit was quiet regarding all the Kyle had shared with him.

However ... somewhere along the line Kyle had a change of heart and ... rather than contacting the FBI and Natalee's family with his concerns, observations and ROV images ... he made the decision to make a deal by contacting major networks.  He would not back down and ... this is why ... rather than being a party to the apparent Persistance coverup ... Kermit contacted the FBI ... Natalee's family and shared his knowledge.  Only then did he post all her had been privied to by Kyle on the SM forum.

I for one am thankful.  I made a one time substantial donation through TES very early on to the planned search endeavor.  I believe that entitles me to be informed if maybe ... just maybe ... I was supporting a search and destroy evidence mission ... a mission where there was collaboration with those who have put a family through a H--- on Earth by protecting Joran and Paulus van der Sloot from participation in the events that encompasses the morning of May 30, 2005 ... the morning when an American citizen went missing and ... was never seen again.

Much needed

While the latest sounds coming out of the Dutch Parliament may once again throw a monkey wrench into the process of constitutional change, it appears the accompanying debt relief is well on track. Already an amount of 203 million euros has been placed on an account at the Central Bank to deal with payments in arrears.

The importance of this financial aspect should not be underestimated. When people, businesses and other entities dealing with the public sector are paid either very late or not at all, public confidence in government, already low because of incidents and scandals involving Antillean politicians over the years, drops even more. Payment of these old bills, along with funds for the Social Economic Initiatives, should help stimulate the economy on the islands considerably and increase willingness to do business with government. Combined with the taking over of 70 per cent of the loan and interest payments by the Netherlands, the financial injection should help provide much needed relief for both governments and the private sector.

While it is not directly related to debt relief, the extra funding made available for children’s homes through AMFO is partly the result of visits by Dutch delegations. In that sense the intensive contact between The Hague and the islands resulting from the talks has indeed already helped open certain doors.


The question of what will happen with the debt relief if no agreement can be reached on the constitutional changes in view of the Second Chamber’s position should not even be entertained. Without that relief the islands are likely to end up sliding into a social-economic crisis that will ultimately have consequences for the entire Kingdom; among other things, a possible new “exodus” of Antilleans to the Netherlands.

It is important that both the Dutch Government and Parliament keep in mind that the crisis in public finances the Antilles faces has little to do with the proposed constitutional changes and would have to be addressed eventually anyway. The mistake should not be made to delay this relief in any way because of problems with the constitutional changes.

http://www.thedailyherald.com/news/daily/l172/edit172.html

a threat of economic refugees if the Dutch don't give them debt relief.
this blackmailing is directed at the debates in Parliament coming week. no doubt about that.
this is more concerning Curaçao & St.Maarten.

but Aruba is also subject to constitutional changes as to their Justice Department.
their financial situation is healthier compared to the Antilles.
but they also used blackmail to get the revenues for the Plant Hotel (and to get the Common Court relocated to Aruba).

i worry a bit that Aruba can force their demands through because the problems of Curaçao/St.Maarten are perceived to be greater and more important.

Pita  I understand what you are saying, but in this particular case nothing should have been kept from Beth.  She has proven time and time again that she can keep quiet and not reveal information that would have hurt the case.

This is really what angered me the most was that Beth was not informed completely about every little detail.  She had a right to know, and she should have been trusted.  I'm afraid that the decisions that were made were done for monitary gain.

If Kyle would come back here and explain his side I would listen.  I took the blinders off many years ago.

I would also like to say that I applaud the work the Freebirds have done.  They have done some amazing work.

What I don't understand is why the Persistence search had to be so secretive.  I don't see why that was necessary.  We already knew that Aruba wouldn't do the right thing.

It is my opinion that some motives were not honorable.

Why was there even a question about giving all of the information to Beth?

Why wasn't ALL of the information given to the FBI immediately?  Why?

It's time to take the gloves off and reveal what is known.  I truly don't believe at this point that any information revealed will prevent justice.

However ... Dave Holloway's philosophy tend to imply that working closely with those within the Aruban administration involved in the coverup ... working closely with internet  posters whose vested Aruban interest implies that justice must not prevail for his precious daughter  ... will somehow provide the answers he so desperately desires.

Beth says it how it is.  Justice for her daugher is not going to come out of Aruba.

Beth: No, it's not closed for us, we've never really relied on an investigative approach to find an answer to Natalee. I think what we've relied on more heavily is that at any given moment something unexpected could happen and we really feel anyone could talk at any moment

Twitty recalled the first days after her daughter's disappearance and the actions of the Aruban government.

"We did everything we could in looking for her.  There was a government coverup, and it has been documented," Twitty contended.

HOLLOWAY TWITTY: They never—they never wanted to implicate these three young men.  They never wanted to implicate them from the beginning. And there is a list of reasons, you know, why we know that is true.

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY'S MOTHER: Well, of course, it's very frustrating. You know, the entire investigation, that's all we've had is frustration coming out of the officials from Aruba.  You know, evidence—you know when evidence is gathered and lost or evidence is never gathered when it's supposed to be, just (INAUDIBLE) the primary residence of Paulus Van Der Sloot was never searched —I mean, you know, it just can't help but raise all the questions of—and leave us frustrated.

Beth Twitty is part of the investigation and owes Aruba some explanations
According to Commissioner Dompig
A.M. Digital

This mother can tell us about her last contact with her daughter. Unfortunately she continues to bash Aruba out there, and does not want to return to help with the investigation. On the other hand the investigating team has good contacts with the father, Dave Holloway, who is helping with the investigation.

I have found Kermit's pictures and postings very interesting.  I am not shocked by the implications as it shows that Aruba continues to coverup Natalee's disappearance as they began to do in June 2005.  It still goes on.  That's what Kermit's pictures and emails tell me.  This is my own conclusion, drawn from what I've read and seen and deduced.

On the other hand, ldstlou and Hotshot have been trying for days to turn this discussion into a personal attack on Kermit.  I don't know why, but I don't like it.  Discuss the pictures and postings, but stop obfuscating and bashing Kermit.  For one thing, it won't work as the Monkeys see what you are doing.  For another thing, it won't keep us from discussing the pics and posts if that's what we want to do.  Lastly, it really reflects badly on you both, and if you care for Natalee's memory, you will not sully the place where those who love her search for the truth.

I admit I am very behind here.. I am the prayer not the talker
But If Something Of Natalee was found in that cage
Why would Beth be any part of that Bull crud story that Greta was just trying to sell
Beth could have told Greta to take a flying leap
If Natalee was in the cage I guess there would be NO possible way she could ahve been sold
with this latest version of Jorans goo is a spreading

Personally I don't believe Greta or Natalee's family believe Joran's latest story.  I believe it's all a chess game. 


Well as soon as I started watching I knew it was crock Of goo he needed money and greta
got sucked in hook line and sinker.. The only thing I believe that was honest what Joran said
was that daddy paid people Off... WHY WHY would Joran go on national TV and throw is daddy under the bus
if there wasnt some truth to that... I think MO  daddy and mommy cut him off and Joran is throwing his weight around
with what he knows to keep in daddys deep pockets

Kyle has had three weeks to post his side - he hides. I have no respect for someone who hides pics, tries to sell them, lies about it, jerks everyone around, and says the family saw everything.

In my opinion, whatever Kyles side is, it cant be explained rationally or it would have been three weeks ago.



could be though that it is a no win situation for him and so he has chosen not to advance it.

Lisa, this is not about winning or losing THIS IS ABOUT THE TRUTH - NO MATTER WHERE IT LEADS

Rob, I don't have a problem with the truth. I want it as bad as anyone else here. I am just saying, it appears to me that kermit was privy to some information that the rest of us did not have access to. She chose to bring it to SM. I am not saying that is bad!!! No one better to investigate than the Monkeys. It's here and it's being discussed. but kermit doesn't have to bash kyle in the process!! It appears kyle gave her access to that info to begim with!!

Bottom line...kermit did not not "uncover" some great big conspiracy, she brought over information that was being discussed elsewhere. lets call a spade a spade is all I am saying. No need to tear apart Kyle to do that.
Please give it a rest.......You've made Your point....We have more important things to discuss without all of this hoopla....going on.....I mean this in the nicest way.....Seriously...... ::MonkeyWink::

did you read my post at all? There was no big discovery here. She copied and posted from a forum...duuuuh!!! Great detective work!!

And as far as I am concerned...we all knew that the aruban authories were the ones who collected the evidence. Where's the conspiracy? Once again...the arubans gathered the evidence. What they did with it after no one knows but the aruban authorites. We can only guess and speculate.

I wasn't aware of the Aruban authorities hiring the Persistence to search for Natalee, or of any funding that the Aruban authorities provided for this search for Natalee.  If the Persistence mission was only intended to provide every find from the mission to the Aruban authorities, we should have all been aware of that!  We should not have been ASKED what they should do with what they found!  They obviously didn't care what our responses were to that question, because if they indeed let them leave with every bit of evidence from that cage; that was the intent from the beginning.  If it wasn't what made them decide that was the RIGHT thing to do?  Free meals and drinks at Hooters, free lodging?  I want to know what made them decide to trust giving ALL of the evidence to the Aruban authorities!  I still hope I find out they didn't, when and if anyone decides we might have some kind of right to know this!

Do you think the crew of the Persistence had any say in that? They were in aruban waters. arubans were calling the shots. Do you remember how many times Tim Miller wanted to go back and search and they said no. Could it be that it was out of their hands?

I'm sorry but I don't agree.  When dealing with shady  bas....ds you do whatcha gotta do.  They  (the Persistence)should have went down to that trap while videoing to protect the chain of command......investigated the trap........while documenting everything and then called in the Aruban authorities.  I would have also told their sorry asses that I had already gone down there....documented everything......taken a sample and now they can do whatever they want to.  Keep their feet to the fire and keep them honest.  They wouldn't have had a choice but to do the right thing.  But that wasn't done.  That's a shame and they should have known better.

Again, what was the purpose of the trip to Aruba in the first place.  Was it John Salvetti who said IF Natalee was in a container they would find her and bring her home.  What did they do?  They ushered Tim Miller off the boat (he's a liability) and THEY let OE go down and retrieve EVERYTHING. Now Beth and Dave have nothing of Natalee and THAT'S why John Q. Kelley said Natalee is NO long recoverable. JMO

Sue, I think your right.  Joran has been banished to other side of the world, and Daddy has likely kept him on a financial budget.  Joran has probably tried everything he could to manipulate and wheedle more money from a distance, but it didn't work as well as when he was on Aruba or in Netherlands.  He pulled out his trump card and called Greta.  He thinks he putting himself back in control, but he's really showing us how out of control this whole thing is getting.

Much needed

While the latest sounds coming out of the Dutch Parliament may once again throw a monkey wrench into the process of constitutional change, it appears the accompanying debt relief is well on track. Already an amount of 203 million euros has been placed on an account at the Central Bank to deal with payments in arrears.

The importance of this financial aspect should not be underestimated. When people, businesses and other entities dealing with the public sector are paid either very late or not at all, public confidence in government, already low because of incidents and scandals involving Antillean politicians over the years, drops even more. Payment of these old bills, along with funds for the Social Economic Initiatives, should help stimulate the economy on the islands considerably and increase willingness to do business with government. Combined with the taking over of 70 per cent of the loan and interest payments by the Netherlands, the financial injection should help provide much needed relief for both governments and the private sector.

While it is not directly related to debt relief, the extra funding made available for children’s homes through AMFO is partly the result of visits by Dutch delegations. In that sense the intensive contact between The Hague and the islands resulting from the talks has indeed already helped open certain doors.


The question of what will happen with the debt relief if no agreement can be reached on the constitutional changes in view of the Second Chamber’s position should not even be entertained. Without that relief the islands are likely to end up sliding into a social-economic crisis that will ultimately have consequences for the entire Kingdom; among other things, a possible new “exodus” of Antilleans to the Netherlands.

It is important that both the Dutch Government and Parliament keep in mind that the crisis in public finances the Antilles faces has little to do with the proposed constitutional changes and would have to be addressed eventually anyway. The mistake should not be made to delay this relief in any way because of problems with the constitutional changes.

http://www.thedailyherald.com/news/daily/l172/edit172.html

a threat of economic refugees if the Dutch don't give them debt relief.
this blackmailing is directed at the debates in Parliament coming week. no doubt about that.
this is more concerning Curaçao & St.Maarten.

but Aruba is also subject to constitutional changes as to their Justice Department.
their financial situation is healthier compared to the Antilles.
but they also used blackmail to get the revenues for the Plant Hotel (and to get the Common Court relocated to Aruba).

i worry a bit that Aruba can force their demands through because the problems of Curaçao/St.Maarten are perceived to be greater and more important.

Thanks, Caesu.

The criminals running Aruba are more financially successful than Caracao, St. Maarten, and so perceived to be in better standing? 

The Hague is not looking very good to the rest of the world if there is no concern that the Aruban minister of justice is pointing out corruption in his own department, and doing nothing about it.  And now blackmailing the Netherlands with threats of Antillean exodus to the homeland? 

I predict an even more bleak economic future for Aruba and the Antilles if the Dutch parliament does not step in.

The poo-poo is just beginning to hit the propeller!

I specifically mentioned the blue denim and the fact that would be the material of which the skirt was made, and reminded her that the press release said that the material did not match her blouse. I also pointed out that in the December 30 photo there appeared to be a skull and in the January 7, it did not look at all like a skull. But I did think I noticed a second object in one of the zip lock bags that could possibly be the object that resembled a skull, possibly. I am a little amazed that the denim looks remarkably NOT deteriorated. Mostly I was trying to pique her interest to get her to contact the appropriate people. I think Dave worked closely with the owner of the boat, so he may well have already done this. But I know Beth appreciates the heads up, as do I. You are a good man. I did tell her my main concern was that you were concerned, and that I respect and trust your judgment enough for her to investigate this. Thanks.

It was Louis Shaeffer who contact Dave Holloway and ... Dave Holloway who contacted Tim Miller of TES ... a organization that had the capacity to raise funding.

However ... I suspect that locating Natalee's remains was not the objective of the venture ... there were underlying goals that had nothing to do with justice for Natalee Holloway.  In other words the Persistence Natalee Holloway search was a front.

I believe with all my heart that Dave Holloway and Tim Miller were both deceived and used.

In fact they are more than welcome to be on the ship with us. The ships that we are taking over are a 265 foot ship and a 340 foot ship which have all the latest technology on it. In fact the owner of this company, Louis Shaeffer of Superior Offshore International, Louis called Dave Holloway up about two months ago when I was at Louis' house.

Again, what was the purpose of the trip to Aruba in the first place.  Was it John Salvetti who said IF Natalee was in a container they would find her and bring her home.  What did they do?  They ushered Tim Miller off the boat (he's a liability) and THEY let OE go down and retrieve EVERYTHING. Now Beth and Dave have nothing of Natalee and THAT'S why John Q. Kelley said Natalee is NO long recoverable. JMO


It was Louis Shaeffer who contact Dave Holloway and ... Dave Holloway who contacted Tim Miller of TES ... a organization that had the capacity to raise funding.

However ... I suspect that locating Natalee's remains was not the objective of the venture ... there were underlying goals that had nothing to do with justice for Natalee Holloway.  In other words the Persistence Natalee Holloway search was a front.

I believe with all my heart that Dave Holloway and Tim Miller were both deceived and used.

IMO

Janet

I so agree (shaking head vigorously).  Even at the beginning of this search, it seemed highly unlikely to me that the owners of the Persistence would spend this amount of time and money searching for Natalee if there was no compensation or return for them.  Common sense dictates this.  However, I and many others really did not care if Silvetti and Shaeffer also accomplished their goals, be it mapping the ocean floor or looking for oil pipeline locations, if they also searched for Natalee at the same time.  It actually seemed to me a common-sense and economically feasible trade-off at the time. 

However, I do believe the Persistence owners cared more about their own personal goals on this trip and were persuaded by the Arubans that it would be in their best interests to coverup the remains of Natalee when they were found.  Money talks.  Aruba has access to large amounts of money as well as other opportunities that may have been used as bargaining tools.  I do not believe anyone other than Silvetti and Shaeffer were involved in this "bargain," but I hope they realize now they have made a bargain with the devil.

Kermit I asked this:

who are experts

would you prefer not to answer?

Sorry johann I was trying my best to answer the other questions from way back and still can't get to them.
BUT to answer YOUR question, at this time, the FBI does have the information as well as Beth and Dave and John Q. Kelly.



The information about the experts (names etc .)  or what there was in the cage ?

ALL INFORMATION was handed over to the individuals I listed.

So the fbi, Dave and Beth know more than we know?
Or am i wrong ?

The information was not given to Beth nor Dave nor the FBI by Kyle. He admitted he withheld it.
FOR MONTHS after his return from the search in Aruba wherein he had photos and information.

From Kyle: I have not given anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th

From Kyle: May 8, 2008: "I've talked with Peter Shouten numerous times back in February. He hasn't seen anything but knows about the blue fabrics. DeVries and Endemol was interested in purchasing the ROV footage and I was working between them, ABC, and CBS to strike a deal."

Recently, the information has been given to Beth, Dave and the FBI.

Kermit, this is what confuses me.  According to private eye's (Beth's brother) post of March 20, 2008, he was aware of the alledged blue denim, so this indicates the family knew about the pictures in March.  Was private eye a member of the private site?  Could this be a reason Kyle felt comfortable discussing the pictures since a family member was privy to the discussion?   According to his post, he did bring it to Beth's attention at that time.

Kyle- I emailed Beth your concerns and have suggested to her that she contact the appropriate people on the Persistence, including yourself, and attempt to reconcile as best they can the material the crew saw recovered from the cage versus what they received. I specifically mentioned the blue denim and the fact that would be the material of which the skirt was made, and reminded her that the press release said that the material did not match her blouse. I also pointed out that in the December 30 photo there appeared to be a skull and in the January 7, it did not look at all like a skull. But I did think I noticed a second object in one of the zip lock bags that could possibly be the object that resembled a skull, possibly. I am a little amazed that the denim looks remarkably NOT deteriorated. Mostly I was trying to pique her interest to get her to contact the appropriate people. I think Dave worked closely with the owner of the boat, so he may well have already done this. But I know Beth appreciates the heads up, as do I. You are a good man. I did tell her my main concern was that you were concerned, and that I respect and trust your judgment enough for her to investigate this. Thanks.

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2721.msg367178#msg367178

Pita ... does that following words of Kyle and Beth's brother imply to your that the Persistence search effort was about locating Natalee Holloways remains to bring about closure for the family or ... does it imply the undertaking was all about assisting in the Aruban ongoing agenda to destory all evidence that implicate Joran and Paulus van der Sloot in the happenings in the wee hours of May 30, 2005.

We had little option other than to have the Aruban dive division recover the samples and bring them back under their care.  Remember we are Americans working in Aruban waters, subject to their laws, invitation, and blessing.  Our hands are tied for the most part. I personally was extremely uncomfortable with the chain of custody, being that we weren't a part of it, but I was powerless to do anything about it.  The samples were photographed in detail by one Aruban diver and the other two investigated the contents of the trap, the dimensions, the rigging, and what surrounded the trap.  From the video, it looked like they did a diligent and careful job with the samples and the underwater photography.  I don't know who has these pictures, but I must assume ALE.

If I understood Kyle correctly, and that would be that the Arubans retrieved and possessed all finds, not sharing anything with the crew, then that effort was a waste of time and effort. The only thing it could have accomplished was to locate additional evidence for the Arubans to destroy.  The effort was superb, but the game was fixed.

Kyle stated: "John is not a believer in the trap. He took ALE's word as gospel that it wasn't case related, yet never studied the videos or bothered to inquire further. He had plans on doing business with Aruba and in S. America and he didn't want to hurt any feelings by talks hinting at lack of complete trust and friendship."

Here's what I want to know.  If the email from private eye to Kyle occured on March 20th what took Kyle so long to be concerned?  Was this after he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar?  Did he get caught with his hand in the cookie jar?

I'm just curious.

Snoopy,
That wasn't an email.  It was posted right here on the forum.
One could tell that Kyle was taken aback by PI's mention of
the denim and the baggies, neither of which was seen in the
pictures that Robin had let out.  Kyle knew then that PI
had seen his secret pictures.

Kyle has had three weeks to post his side - he hides. I have no respect for someone who hides pics, tries to sell them, lies about it, jerks everyone around, and says the family saw everything.

In my opinion, whatever Kyles side is, it cant be explained rationally or it would have been three weeks ago.



could be though that it is a no win situation for him and so he has chosen not to advance it.

Lisa, this is not about winning or losing THIS IS ABOUT THE TRUTH - NO MATTER WHERE IT LEADS

Rob, I don't have a problem with the truth. I want it as bad as anyone else here. I am just saying, it appears to me that kermit was privy to some information that the rest of us did not have access to. She chose to bring it to SM. I am not saying that is bad!!! No one better to investigate than the Monkeys. It's here and it's being discussed. but kermit doesn't have to bash kyle in the process!! It appears kyle gave her access to that info to begim with!!

Bottom line...kermit did not not "uncover" some great big conspiracy, she brought over information that was being discussed elsewhere. lets call a spade a spade is all I am saying. No need to tear apart Kyle to do that.
Please give it a rest.......You've made Your point....We have more important things to discuss without all of this hoopla....going on.....I mean this in the nicest way.....Seriously...... ::MonkeyWink::

did you read my post at all? There was no big discovery here. She copied and posted from a forum...duuuuh!!! Great detective work!!

And as far as I am concerned...we all knew that the aruban authories were the ones who collected the evidence. Where's the conspiracy? Once again...the arubans gathered the evidence. What they did with it after no one knows but the aruban authorites. We can only guess and speculate.

I wasn't aware of the Aruban authorities hiring the Persistence to search for Natalee, or of any funding that the Aruban authorities provided for this search for Natalee.  If the Persistence mission was only intended to provide every find from the mission to the Aruban authorities, we should have all been aware of that!  We should not have been ASKED what they should do with what they found!  They obviously didn't care what our responses were to that question, because if they indeed let them leave with every bit of evidence from that cage; that was the intent from the beginning.  If it wasn't what made them decide that was the RIGHT thing to do?  Free meals and drinks at Hooters, free lodging?  I want to know what made them decide to trust giving ALL of the evidence to the Aruban authorities!  I still hope I find out they didn't, when and if anyone decides we might have some kind of right to know this!

Do you think the crew of the Persistence had any say in that? They were in aruban waters. arubans were calling the shots. Do you remember how many times Tim Miller wanted to go back and search and they said no. Could it be that it was out of their hands?

I'm sorry but I don't agree.  When dealing with shady  bas....ds you do whatcha gotta do.  They  (the Persistence)should have went down to that trap while videoing to protect the chain of command......investigated the trap........while documenting everything and then called in the Aruban authorities.  I would have also told their sorry asses that I had already gone down there....documented everything......taken a sample and now they can do whatever they want to.  Keep their feet to the fire and keep them honest.  They wouldn't have had a choice but to do the right thing.  But that wasn't done.  That's a shame and they should have known better.

I agree.
It's not like the RV Persistence, it's crew and it's owner didn't know about the Arubans, that is why they were called in!

December 30 Kyle says John definitely believed the Arubans at their every word when they said on Dec 30th that it was nothing case relevant

no shit sherlock...thats your big revelation?

Much needed

While the latest sounds coming out of the Dutch Parliament may once again throw a monkey wrench into the process of constitutional change, it appears the accompanying debt relief is well on track. Already an amount of 203 million euros has been placed on an account at the Central Bank to deal with payments in arrears.

The importance of this financial aspect should not be underestimated. When people, businesses and other entities dealing with the public sector are paid either very late or not at all, public confidence in government, already low because of incidents and scandals involving Antillean politicians over the years, drops even more. Payment of these old bills, along with funds for the Social Economic Initiatives, should help stimulate the economy on the islands considerably and increase willingness to do business with government. Combined with the taking over of 70 per cent of the loan and interest payments by the Netherlands, the financial injection should help provide much needed relief for both governments and the private sector.

While it is not directly related to debt relief, the extra funding made available for children’s homes through AMFO is partly the result of visits by Dutch delegations. In that sense the intensive contact between The Hague and the islands resulting from the talks has indeed already helped open certain doors.


The question of what will happen with the debt relief if no agreement can be reached on the constitutional changes in view of the Second Chamber’s position should not even be entertained. Without that relief the islands are likely to end up sliding into a social-economic crisis that will ultimately have consequences for the entire Kingdom; among other things, a possible new “exodus” of Antilleans to the Netherlands.

It is important that both the Dutch Government and Parliament keep in mind that the crisis in public finances the Antilles faces has little to do with the proposed constitutional changes and would have to be addressed eventually anyway. The mistake should not be made to delay this relief in any way because of problems with the constitutional changes.

http://www.thedailyherald.com/news/daily/l172/edit172.html

a threat of economic refugees if the Dutch don't give them debt relief.
this blackmailing is directed at the debates in Parliament coming week. no doubt about that.
this is more concerning Curaçao & St.Maarten.

but Aruba is also subject to constitutional changes as to their Justice Department.
their financial situation is healthier compared to the Antilles.
but they also used blackmail to get the revenues for the Plant Hotel (and to get the Common Court relocated to Aruba).

i worry a bit that Aruba can force their demands through because the problems of Curaçao/St.Maarten are perceived to be greater and more important.

Thanks, Caesu.

The criminals running Aruba are more financially successful than Caracao, St. Maarten, and so perceived to be in better standing? 

The Hague is not looking very good to the rest of the world if there is no concern that the Aruban minister of justice is pointing out corruption in his own department, and doing nothing about it.  And now blackmailing the Netherlands with threats of Antillean exodus to the homeland? 

I predict an even more bleak economic future for Aruba and the Antilles if the Dutch parliament does not step in.

The poo-poo is just beginning to hit the propeller!



yes it's insane.
but i am hoping it's going to hit the fan soon. maybe the coming week... fingers crossed.
but i hoped that too right after the Peter R. de Vries tapes beginning this year.
and nothing really happened. so i am try to refrain from getting too excited.

but when i read about all this corruption.
i am getting quite outraged and i just can't believe the sh*t hasn't hit the fan yet.

the situation on St.Maarten and Curaçao is very bad too!
they only haven't had a 'Joran-type' there - or they covered it up succesfully so no-one even knows.
an American women disappeared there too by the way.

Why not assume it was Natalee in the trap?

then what? Did that happen on the 10th day, the 9th, or when? Why did van der sloot need 10 days from his friend, van der straaten?

If she was already off the island, why so much time to provide cover?

There couldn't be much evidence on the beach? But there must have been evidence somewhere that needed cleaning up.

We still haven't found the crime scene. The trap is not the crime scene.

I still think Croes's comments are more valuable than the contents of the trap. Suppose you could prove Natalee was at the VDS house for 3 days, would that change your opinion?

Why would a police chief and prosecutor engage is serious crimes just to have Natalee taken there? With that much time, I think they know she can't be recovered.

Bullshit, to quote Tim Miller. 

If you have allegiances to a "private forum" that you can't share here, then why waste your time and fingertips typing to a bunch of Monkeys who just are not trustworthy enough to be privy to the insider, super-secret private info?

That was why Kyle was surprised that PI had seen the

Pita,
According to what PI said, Beth was reluctant to look at
the pictures.  I can only imagine why she was reluctant.
I can only surmise, from what I have observed, that Beth
had sense enough to know where the pictures originated.

but when i read about all this corruption.
i am getting quite outraged and i just can't believe the sh*t hasn't hit the fan yet.

the situation on St.Maarten and Curaçao is very bad too!
they only haven't had a 'Joran-type' there - or they covered it up succesfully so no-one even knows.
an American women disappeared there too by the way.

and about Aruba doing financially fine: their tourism 'bubble' is about to burst with the worldwide recession.


Thanks, Caesu.

I'll keep my fingers crossed as well.  I don't imagine that the Dutch Parliament will care what an American has to say about it all, but it may help for them to know we are paying attention.

Yes, terrible case of Leta Cordes, there is a thread devoted to her disappearance here.  I believe her husband has been arrested in that case.

The message is, if you get invited to the Caribbean, DON'T GO!  It means someone is trying to get rid of your azz! ::MonkeyHaHa::

KINGDOM COUNCIL OF MINISTERS AGREE TO KINGDOM ACT COMMON COURT OF JUSTICE.
Saturday, 06 December 2008 01:04

The bill of law is based on consensus between the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles regarding the new political relations. With regard to Aruba it is based on the competency to lay down rules to guarantee legal certainty by Kingdom Act. For to such end the Common Court of Justice is indispensable.

http://www.smn-news.com/st-maarten-st-martin-news/711-kingdom-council-of-ministers-agree-to-kingdom-act-common-court-of-justice.html

i posted this before.
but here it is in English.

last Friday a Kingdom Act was passed without consensus from Aruba.
just consensus between the Netherlands and the Antilles.
and it mentions their ability 'to lay down rules to guarantee legal certainty by (further) Kingdom Act(s)'.

i hope this is a sign of things to come.
but for sure Rudy Croes isn't happy with this, that without their consensus the other countries did lay down rules for Aruba.
they passed one Kingdom Act without Aruba's consensus, and in the press release the 'warn' they could do that again 'to guarantee legal certainty', with specifically pointing at Aruba.

note: Kingdom consists of three countries: Netherlands, Aruba, Netherlands Antilles.

Thought you all may find this interesting if you're willing to accept it-

To date, the Aruban police and dive team has been a tremendous help.  They've honestly done a great job. Over the last month we've established a very good working relationship based on openness and trust.  Most of the relationship success was due to getting the media out of the way and working together shoulder to shoulder over time.  We've helped each other however and whenever we can.  They've treated us with decency and respect and we have treated them as friends and allies, which they are. Most of the police and divers are new since this case started and both eager and careful to do things right.  I wish we had a month ahead of the project just to establish the relationships and trust. I know many of you would likely doubt this view, but it's based on the experiences in the field of the entire search team. I too was extremely worried, paranoid, and suspecting in the beginning.  Now, it's clear we're all working towards a common goal.

Kermit I asked this:

who are experts

would you prefer not to answer?

Sorry johann I was trying my best to answer the other questions from way back and still can't get to them.
BUT to answer YOUR question, at this time, the FBI does have the information as well as Beth and Dave and John Q. Kelly.



The information about the experts (names etc .)  or what there was in the cage ?

ALL INFORMATION was handed over to the individuals I listed.

So the fbi, Dave and Beth know more than we know?
Or am i wrong ?

The information was not given to Beth nor Dave nor the FBI by Kyle. He admitted he withheld it.
FOR MONTHS after his return from the search in Aruba wherein he had photos and information.

From Kyle: I have not given anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th

From Kyle: May 8, 2008: "I've talked with Peter Shouten numerous times back in February. He hasn't seen anything but knows about the blue fabrics. DeVries and Endemol was interested in purchasing the ROV footage and I was working between them, ABC, and CBS to strike a deal."

Recently, the information has been given to Beth, Dave and the FBI.

Kermit, this is what confuses me.  According to private eye's (Beth's brother) post of March 20, 2008, he was aware of the alledged blue denim, so this indicates the family knew about the pictures in March.  Was private eye a member of the private site?  Could this be a reason Kyle felt comfortable discussing the pictures since a family member was privy to the discussion?   According to his post, he did bring it to Beth's attention at that time.

Kyle- I emailed Beth your concerns and have suggested to her that she contact the appropriate people on the Persistence, including yourself, and attempt to reconcile as best they can the material the crew saw recovered from the cage versus what they received. I specifically mentioned the blue denim and the fact that would be the material of which the skirt was made, and reminded her that the press release said that the material did not match her blouse. I also pointed out that in the December 30 photo there appeared to be a skull and in the January 7, it did not look at all like a skull. But I did think I noticed a second object in one of the zip lock bags that could possibly be the object that resembled a skull, possibly. I am a little amazed that the denim looks remarkably NOT deteriorated. Mostly I was trying to pique her interest to get her to contact the appropriate people. I think Dave worked closely with the owner of the boat, so he may well have already done this. But I know Beth appreciates the heads up, as do I. You are a good man.

We had little option other than to have the Aruban dive division recover the samples and bring them back under their care.  Remember we are Americans working in Aruban waters, subject to their laws, invitation, and blessing.  Our hands are tied for the most part. I personally was extremely uncomfortable with the chain of custody, being that we weren't a part of it, but I was powerless to do anything about it.  The samples were photographed in detail by one Aruban diver and the other two investigated the contents of the trap, the dimensions, the rigging, and what surrounded the trap.  From the video, it looked like they did a diligent and careful job with the samples and the underwater photography.  I don't know who has these pictures, but I must assume ALE.

If I understood Kyle correctly, and that would be that the Arubans retrieved and possessed all finds, not sharing anything with the crew, then that effort was a waste of time and effort. The only thing it could have accomplished was to locate additional evidence for the Arubans to destroy.  The effort was superb, but the game was fixed.

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=4209.120


Janet, IMO, I would say a little bit of both.  They were in Aruban waters and had to comply with Aruban law.  Once Kyle realized their hands were tied due to chain of custody, it appears Kyle did not trust them.  This is why he covertly took the pictures with the ROV to have some proof of what was in the trap in the event the Arubans were not forthright with the evidence (which it appears they weren't.)  What if he didn't take the pictures?  The family would have nothing.  This scenario was about finding Natalee.

On the other hand, being that the Arubans possessed all finds, private eye was correct in saying the effort was superb, but the game was fixed.  It was that way from the beginning.  Remember how the FBI was invited, then uninvited, when it came to interrogations of suspects and review of evidence.  Same thing with the Persistence endeavor.

I wish they would have sent a diver down to sample the evidence before the Aruban team came in to remove it.  Who knows, maybe they did.

Janet, IMO, I would say a little bit of both.  They were in Aruban waters and had to comply with Aruban law.  Once Kyle realized their hands were tied due to chain of custody, it appears Kyle did not trust them.  This is why he covertly took the pictures with the ROV to have some proof of what was in the trap in the event the Arubans were not forthright with the evidence (which it appears they weren't.)  What if he didn't take the pictures?  The family would have nothing.  This scenario was about finding Natalee.

On the other hand, being that the Arubans possessed all finds, private eye was correct in saying the effort was superb, but the game was fixed.  It was that way from the beginning.  Remember how the FBI was invited, then uninvited, when it came to interrogations of suspects and review of evidence.  Same thing with the Persistence endeavor.

I wish they would have sent a diver down to sample the evidence before the Aruban team came in to remove it.  Who knows, maybe they did.


Pita,

With all due respect, the Aruban authorities themselves do not obey Aruban law, the crew of the Persistence didn't have to either if their real mission was to bring Natalee home.

Also, do the specially selected smart people solving the case in their secret forum really believe that the FBI only goes where they are invited? 

Why have undercover agents then? 

We're all over the globe where we're not invited.  Come on....don't expect us to believe that. 

If they didn't plan on getting any evidence before ALE could get it, then Silvetti & Shaefer could and should have worked with the FBI/State Dept/CIA before ever leaving American shores to get an undercover agent on that boat.  I hope they did and none of us know that.  If not, then I think it perhaps was not their sole purpose in going.

Furthermore, I can't imagine anyone with thinking abilities would actually believe that Kyle didn't know what to do with the pictures/footage and was helplessly frustrated.  Even if he didn't want to go to the FBI and didn't know how to contact Beth, he could have contacted JQK.  Doesn't take an oceanographer to figure that out.

Pita, ldstlou, and Hotshot

Hugs.

The Persistence undertaking should be open to scrutiny.  There is an expression ... "Along with sheckles comes shackles."  In other words ... accountability is where it is at.

Those who donated to the search effort through TES were under the impression that the finding of Natalee Holloway's remains was the objective but ... that objective had an outcome ... justice for Natalee and ... a measure of closure for her family.

Without ... justice for Natalee and ... a measure of closure for her family ... being the motive for the undertaking ... the entire effort was futile.  It was better that the trap and its contents stayed at the bottom of the ocean ... waiting to be discovered by someone who would take the appropriate avenues to protect the evidence from the enemy ... protect the evidence from those who had an agenda to destory it.

When I read one of Kyle's first posts on SM ... I had a gut feeling the family were on another ride on the roller coaster from H---.  The ride up was hope but ... the ride down would be despair ... despair that is derived from deception.

Thought you all may find this interesting if you're willing to accept it-

To date, the Aruban police and dive team has been a tremendous help.  They've honestly done a great job. Over the last month we've established a very good working relationship based on openness and trust.  Most of the relationship success was due to getting the media out of the way and working together shoulder to shoulder over time.  We've helped each other however and whenever we can.  They've treated us with decency and respect and we have treated them as friends and allies, which they are. Most of the police and divers are new since this case started and both eager and careful to do things right.  I wish we had a month ahead of the project just to establish the relationships and trust. I know many of you would likely doubt this view, but it's based on the experiences in the field of the entire search team. I too was extremely worried, paranoid, and suspecting in the beginning.  Now, it's clear we're all working towards a common goal.

BETH: There are times when we're thinking that we need to continue, and of course we're still searching for answers, but it's this rollercoaster ride. And it makes me so angry, Dr. Phil, when I let myself fall for information coming out of an official who represents the island of Aruba. If somebody presents you with false hope and false information, it's devastating.

The Persistence may have found Natalee remains but ... we will never know because somehow ... protecting those remains from destruction by the enemy was not a priority.

The following are the words from someone who was aboard the Persistence throughout the entire search effort ... someone who observed ... someone who listened.

You're right Frank.

Why did Paulus lie about meeting Natalee in the casino?  and everything else that happened that night?

Maybe if someone would drag in Uncle Jan and Paulus and ask them, they would tell us.

Hans Mos could do it, but he's pretty busy golfing and packing for his trip home. :smt097

Personally, I don't understand why anyone or any group is keeping anything quiet.

The bit about an ongoing investigation, and someone hurting it, is laughable.

The only "investigation" is Aruban....by law....not even the FBI can or will act autonomously.

The only hope is that the everyday person raises enough objection/noise that it attracts attention....be it media, congressmen...whatever.  Then there might be a chance of an international (interpol?) body looking into things.  Posting, discussing, disseminating info is not going to shut down or change the chance of an investigation.  Keeping quiet might.

I applaud FreeBirds collection, but I always believe a lot of everyday, concerned citizens contributed (maybe not compiled) to it's contents.

If you have an issue with an individual, that you were involved with, in a secret hidey hole, my guess is you have his/her contact info.  Please send them hateful, challenging messages directly.  If you feel the need to clarify a post then post a link or a copy....that's what the rest of us "normal" posters do.  If you don't want to then take it back to the hole.  IMO

So the fbi, Dave and Beth know more than we know?
Or am i wrong ?

The information was not given to Beth nor Dave nor the FBI by Kyle. He admitted he withheld it.
FOR MONTHS after his return from the search in Aruba wherein he had photos and information.

From Kyle: I have not given anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th

From Kyle: May 8, 2008: "I've talked with Peter Shouten numerous times back in February. He hasn't seen anything but knows about the blue fabrics. DeVries and Endemol was interested in purchasing the ROV footage and I was working between them, ABC, and CBS to strike a deal."

Recently, the information has been given to Beth, Dave and the FBI.

Kermit, this is what confuses me.  According to private eye's (Beth's brother) post of March 20, 2008, he was aware of the alledged blue denim, so this indicates the family knew about the pictures in March.  Was private eye a member of the private site?  Could this be a reason Kyle felt comfortable discussing the pictures since a family member was privy to the discussion?   According to his post, he did bring it to Beth's attention at that time.   

private eye Reply #448 on: March 20, 2008, 02:18:50 PM  :
snipped...

Kyle- I emailed Beth your concerns and have suggested to her that she contact the appropriate people on the Persistence, including yourself, and attempt to reconcile as best they can the material the crew saw recovered from the cage versus what they received. I specifically mentioned the blue denim and the fact that would be the material of which the skirt was made, and reminded her that the press release said that the material did not match her blouse. I also pointed out that in the December 30 photo there appeared to be a skull and in the January 7, it did not look at all like a skull. But I did think I noticed a second object in one of the zip lock bags that could possibly be the object that resembled a skull, possibly. I am a little amazed that the denim looks remarkably NOT deteriorated. Mostly I was trying to pique her interest to get her to contact the appropriate people. I think Dave worked closely with the owner of the boat, so he may well have already done this. But I know Beth appreciates the heads up, as do I. You are a good man. I did tell her my main concern was that you were concerned, and that I respect and trust your judgment enough for her to investigate this. Thanks.

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2721.msg367178#msg367178

Pita ... does that following words of Kyle and Beth's brother imply to your that the Persistence search effort was about locating Natalee Holloways remains to bring about closure for the family or ... does it imply the undertaking was all about assisting in the Aruban ongoing agenda to destory all evidence that implicate Joran and Paulus van der Sloot in the happenings in the wee hours of May 30, 2005.

We had little option other than to have the Aruban dive division recover the samples and bring them back under their care.  Remember we are Americans working in Aruban waters, subject to their laws, invitation, and blessing.  Our hands are tied for the most part. I personally was extremely uncomfortable with the chain of custody, being that we weren't a part of it, but I was powerless to do anything about it.  The samples were photographed in detail by one Aruban diver and the other two investigated the contents of the trap, the dimensions, the rigging, and what surrounded the trap.  From the video, it looked like they did a diligent and careful job with the samples and the underwater photography.  I don't know who has these pictures, but I must assume ALE.

If I understood Kyle correctly, and that would be that the Arubans retrieved and possessed all finds, not sharing anything with the crew, then that effort was a waste of time and effort. The only thing it could have accomplished was to locate additional evidence for the Arubans to destroy.  The effort was superb, but the game was fixed.

So, Hotshot, if you are so convinced that Kyle has answered all these questions and Kermit refuses to tell us this, then this implies that you know that Kyle has answered these questions and you know his answers.  That would be correct, some of them.

Are you going to tell us Kyle's answers?  Oh, that's right--you would never reveal a confidence shared in the ultra-secret, super-duper private forum, right?  Yes, I will, take this for what its worth, it was definately told to me by kyle.

Bullshit, to quote Tim Miller. 

If you have allegiances to a "private forum" that you can't share here, then why waste your time and fingertips typing to a bunch of Monkeys who just are not trustworthy enough to be privy to the insider, super-secret private info?  I am in no other "private forum" but SM. Actually some of my best buds are here at SM.  
Kyle did not give anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th-  true.   There was nothing else to send the FBI. They obviously already had the videos.  They were already sent prior to that date.

The ABC meeting was an attempt by Louis to probe interest in the footage to get back at least a portion of the monies he personally put to the search effort.  This was just before the Dateline special aired.  Whether or not anyone was interested, Dateline told the trap story.  The discussions about the footage was just to help at least part of the search effort. Kyle did the talking about the footage to ABC because it was convenient for him to meet with them because he only lives an hour from their office.
 
Kyle was a member of a "team".  He was not the only one involved in the search.  Aren't we limited in knowing what happened during the search by only considering what happened by what we hear from one member of a team? Kyle was not responsible for everything that happened during the search, nor did he ever claim to be. He just told what he could and that wasn't good enough.

This is where the whole part of the conversation works.  Not just what you want out there.  The Freebirds are a good team, but when all does not go with everyones likings it goes sour for that person.  Kyle will not come back here.  He is not one for confrontations like this.  I don't blame him.  He has made his time for precious natalee, and thats what he should be doing.  Not trying to argue a point that has been misinterpretted.  which it all has been.

Lifesong, I'm not a professional in the field of oceanography and I'm not a judge of why people do as they do.   At best, I can only try to understand.  He covertly took those pictures.  When the evidence came back and it was different from what he saw in the pictures, I'm sure there was much anxiety and frustration.   

As far as the FBI being invited/uninvited, we have seen it time and time again in this case.  In most cases their hands were tied even when present.  Like you said, I hope there was an undercover agent on the boat that we weren't aware of.

Personally, I don't understand why anyone or any group is keeping anything quiet.

The bit about an ongoing investigation, and someone hurting it, is laughable.

The only "investigation" is Aruban....by law....not even the FBI can or will act autonomously.

The only hope is that the everyday person raises enough objection/noise that it attracts attention....be it media, congressmen...whatever.  Then there might be a chance of an international (interpol?) body looking into things.  Posting, discussing, disseminating info is not going to shut down or change the chance of an investigation.  Keeping quiet might.

I applaud FreeBirds collection, but I always believe a lot of everyday, concerned citizens contributed (maybe not compiled) to it's contents.

If you have an issue with an individual, that you were involved with, in a secret hidey hole, my guess is you have his/her contact info.  Please send them hateful, challenging messages directly.  If you feel the need to clarify a post then post a link or a copy....that's what the rest of us "normal" posters do.  If you don't want to then take it back to the hole.  IMO

I agree Buckeye.

There were other companies who made donations or provided services or work hours for free or at a reduced cost as they hearts were in this for Natalee.
I am sure they would be happy to hear they were screwed over also.

Bottom line:

The unrevealed ROV images that Kyle spared from the destruction at the hands of the Arubans ... Kyle's concerns regarding the happenings aboard the Persistence regarding conflicts of interest concerning the chain of custody of the trap's contents ... should have been immediately shared with the FBI and/or the family of Natalee Holloway.  Justice for Natalee and ... a measure of closure for her family dictated it.  Kermit shares that this was Kyle's initial intent.

Sharing the ROV images and ... concern regarding the happenings on board of the Persistance with an internet poster should never have happened.  Contract with major networks to make a deal should never have happened.

My prayer is that Kyle has learned a valuable lesson.  It is always right to do right!

did you read my post at all? There was no big discovery here. She copied and posted from a forum...duuuuh!!! Great detective work!!

And as far as I am concerned...we all knew that the aruban authories were the ones who collected the evidence. Where's the conspiracy? Once again...the arubans gathered the evidence. What they did with it after no one knows but the aruban authorites. We can only guess and speculate.

But did they share?  Did they give the proper samples to the FBI? 

After all we have known, and what we have seen and now the admission about van der Stratten, tell me one little reason that anyone should believe that the contents taken by the Aruban divers were shared honestly with the FBI. I wouldn't believe it. I am sure that is what we are expected to believe.

Kyle was a member of a "team".  He was not the only one involved in the search.  Aren't we limited in knowing what happened during the search by only considering what happened by what we hear from one member of a team? Kyle was not responsible for everything that happened during the search, nor did he ever claim to be. He just told what he could and that wasn't good enough.

The implies Kyle was a member of a "team" that discovered remains that were hidden by the Arubans whose divers brought them up.  Is this what you are saying?
He was talking about the Persistence, and he still talks highly about the crew.

Kyle did not give anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th-  true.   There was nothing else to send the FBI. They obviously already had the videos.  They were already sent prior to that date.   :smt102

Sorry johann I was trying my best to answer the other questions from way back and still can't get to them.
BUT to answer YOUR question, at this time, the FBI does have the information as well as Beth and Dave and John Q. Kelly.


Kermit....forgive me, I'm a little dense.
I think the question is: who are the experts that believe the remains are those of Natalee?
It's is good to hear Beth, Dave and JQK know of the info (pics).

This was my biggest concern when I first started reading kermit's post. It is the reason I called Jug. My first instinct was to make sure that the family knew if there was info they had not received. Someone asked me why I keep asking if kemit first went to Beth and gave her this info..this is why.

I am telling you, that Jug said, no one in the family feels that Kyle withheld any information from them.

Why this is offensive to people I have no idea. I thought the point was to get all the info to the family. From what was said to me by Jug, they do not have a problem at all with Kyle...and I have been forwarding the info discussed here. So why is kermit's word more believeable than Jug's?

Obviously ...

O.T. (sorry),

I just came back from a family gathering and was talking to my cousin who has been vacationing in Aruba for the past 15 years (she has timeshares and stays for a month at a time). She said as of last year the Sloots are no longer on the island - they were asked to leave. Paulus was 'ordered' to go back to the Netherlands. This is what she has heard from her Aruban friends that she's known for many years. She said the Aruba govt told the Sloots they were not welcome anymore because they were giving the island a bad name. We know they did this to Joran, but does anybody know if this is true for the rest of the family?

The Sloots are still there. The wlecome mat was removed, but they cannot order them to leave. Joran can go back to Aruba any time he wants to also. But he doesn't want to. Guess he thinks they don't lub him either any more. Probably fearful to be there.

I was asked a question and I am going to answer to the best of my knowledge, I don't want to keep getting bashed.

The photos were stills taken from the filming done as the divers went down. The video feed was given to the FBI. Were the photos Kyle had given to the FBI? No...they FBI had the original film where the stills were taken from...no need to.

This was my biggest concern when I first started reading kermit's post. It is the reason I called Jug. My first instinct was to make sure that the family knew if there was info they had not received. Someone asked me why I keep asking if kemit first went to Beth and gave her this info..this is why.

I am telling you, that Jug said, no one in the family feels that Kyle withheld any information from them.

Why this is offensive to people I have no idea. I thought the point was to get all the info to the family. From what was said to me by Jug, they do not have a problem at all with Kyle...and I have been forwarding the info discussed here. So why is kermit's word more believeable than Jug's?

Did Kyle turn those pictures over to the family,as well as the FBI or did someone else???

I was asked a question and I am going to answer to the best of my knowledge, I don't want to keep getting bashed.

The photos were stills taken from the filming done as the divers went down. The video feed was given to the FBI. Were the photos Kyle had given to the FBI? No...they FBI had the original film where the stills were taken from...no need to.

OK.Understood.By whom,and on what date was the footage turned over??

O.T. (sorry),

I just came back from a family gathering and was talking to my cousin who has been vacationing in Aruba for the past 15 years (she has timeshares and stays for a month at a time). She said as of last year the Sloots are no longer on the island - they were asked to leave. Paulus was 'ordered' to go back to the Netherlands. This is what she has heard from her Aruban friends that she's known for many years. She said the Aruba govt told the Sloots they were not welcome anymore because they were giving the island a bad name. We know they did this to Joran, but does anybody know if this is true for the rest of the family?

It was in the paper that Anita won a prize at a show, at a new nightclub, the night Greta had Joran on TV. A Greta poster had seen the Sloots, then the next day, it was in the paper.   :smt102

I wasn't going to get involved, however,  the evidence and recovery dive was January 7th.  Only the preliminary pics were Dec. 29.

Kyle did not give anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th-  true.   There was nothing else to send the FBI. They obviously already had the videos.  They were already sent prior to that date.   :smt102

"since" is the word.  And the other recordings "jan 7" were sent by other team members on the boat.  Klaas, I am working on your reply now, and then I myself am off for the night.  There is no reasoning here.  I don't know what I have done to be treated in such a manner, or disliked so much, but, I do stand with the girl, and her parents.  And will continue to do so till this case is final.  

Hotshot - I don't remember directing a question your way.  I also don't remember saying anything bad about you.

Klye stated: " We're being fed misinformation to keep us searching and out of their way while they cover their asses, destroy evidence, cover their tracks, and keep us out at sea and away from the trap."

Kyle stated: "neither Dave, Robin, or Beth has seen any of the ROV footage aside from what was broadcasted on Dateline or the pictures leaked from the FBI to Dave (and Robin H.). Beth has seen nothing in my knowledge."

Kyle stated: "John is not a believer in the trap. He took ALE's word as gospel that it wasn't case related, yet never studied the videos or bothered to inquire further. He had plans on doing business with Aruba and in S. America and he didn't want to hurt any feelings by talks hinting at lack of complete trust and friendship."

Bottom line:

The unrevealed ROV images that Kyle spared from the destruction at the hands of the Arubans ... Kyle's concerns regarding the happenings aboard the Persistence regarding conflicts of interest concerning the chain of custody of the trap's contents ... should have been immediately shared with the FBI and/or the family of Natalee Holloway.  Justice for Natalee and ... a measure of closure for her family dictated it.  Kermit shares that this was Kyle's initial intent.

Sharing the ROV images and ... concern regarding the happenings on board of the Persistance with an internet poster should never have happened.  Contract with major networks to make a deal should never have happened.

My prayer is that Kyle has learned a valuable lesson.  It is always right to do right!

Proverbs 22:1
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches


The family's priority has always been to bring their precious Natalee home ... home to American soil.  Maybe the opportunity has been lost to them forever.

JUG TWITTY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY'S STEPFATHER:  ... Beth and I have been through this emotional roller coaster. And all we want is Natalee, whether she's alive or dead. We want to bring her back to the United States, and we'll leave and they can do whatever they want to do.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8551824/


Janet,
This was my biggest concern when I first started reading kermit's post. It is the reason I called Jug. My first instinct was to make sure that the family knew if there was info they had not received. Someone asked me why I keep asking if kemit first went to Beth and gave her this info..this is why.

I am telling you, that Jug said, no one in the family feels that Kyle withheld any information from them.

Why this is offensive to people I have no idea. I thought the point was to get all the info to the family. From what was said to me by Jug, they do not have a problem at all with Kyle...and I have been forwarding the info discussed here. So why is kermit's word more believeable than Jug's?

Did Kyle turn those pictures over to the family,as well as the FBI or did someone else???

I was asked a question and I am going to answer to the best of my knowledge, I don't want to keep getting bashed.

The photos were stills taken from the filming done as the divers went down. The video feed was given to the FBI. Were the photos Kyle had given to the FBI? No...they FBI had the original film where the stills were taken from...no need to.

OK.Understood.By whom,and on what date was the footage turned over??

My understanding is that a copy of footage was taken by the FBI not long after the dive. I have to have this clarified, to be absolutely sure, because I didn't ask the question as it is asked here by you, I asked if the FBI always had a copy of the film the photos came from and was told yes.

Out of curiosity, where did the money from Dateline go?  Were the family (Dave & Beth) aware that Kyle, Silvetti and Schaeffer were trying to strike up a deal with ABC?  Sounding dirtier all the time to me.  ::MonkeyNoNo::
Dave himself told me Dateline was on the boat to help pay for expences...Schafer was the one striking up a deal to try to pay for expences, do they know this?  
 By February, Louis had put up over a million of his own money and well exceeded the amount he originally agreed to personally put up.  By early February they were talking about how to possibly extend the search effort and keep things going but funds were nearly out.  Louis did not want to reach out for public donations until all options were exhausted. They thought they would feel out the media to see if the story or footage was worth anything worthwhile to help with some of the costs, even if it could extend things a couple weeks.  He assumed Tim Trahan would have told Beth and Dave, but don't know for sure.  Either way it was to keep the search going.... Kyle never did say that WAS Natalee in the trap.  Kermit says officials proved it was Natalee.  He would like to know what officials, because he is not one of them.  Why would they continue the search if indeed they had said it was her. Officials are like "FBI", so unless they told her something which they wouldn't.They would/should comment with "we have no comment" "This is an investigation"...How would she get that information? Again, i cant make anyone believe or agree, and thats fine.  You'll see in the end who is who, and what was right and wrong.

This statement totally contradicts the entire line of reasoning you've been giving us as to why Kyle needed to show the pictures and discuss his concerns with anyone in the private forum in the first place.

I admit I am very behind here.. I am the prayer not the talker
But If Something Of Natalee was found in that cage
Why would Beth be any part of that Bull crud story that Greta was just trying to sell
Beth could have told Greta to take a flying leap
If Natalee was in the cage I guess there would be NO possible way she could ahve been sold
with this latest version of Jorans goo is a spreading

Personally I don't believe Greta or Natalee's family believe Joran's latest story.  I believe it's all a chess game. 


Well as soon as I started watching I knew it was crock Of goo he needed money and greta
got sucked in hook line and sinker.. The only thing I believe that was honest what Joran said
was that daddy paid people Off... WHY WHY would Joran go on national TV and throw is daddy under the bus
if there wasnt some truth to that... I think MO  daddy and mommy cut him off and Joran is throwing his weight around
with what he knows to keep in daddys deep pockets
Crook of goo I agree......
But this time, Greta, JQK, family are going along with it to put pressure on ALE, mos, holland to do something...
fact...joran says paula$$ is on a recorded phone call discussing human trafficking and joran names names of ale personnel taking money (bribes) to cover up....
ok....now aruba is in a catch 22 - they need to either prove Natalee is dead as jan vds says  (where's the evidence then) or take seriously to follow up if there is any chance Natalee may be alive and being held somewhere...joan amits he was the last seen with Natalee and says now he sold her....mos, get off you a$$ and prove/disprove....checkmate

If you can't say then don't say you know something.  I have seen many times people saying things and then the answer we get is the family knows.  As long as the family knows then it's fine by me.  But don't yank our chains.  Either you spill it out of don't say anything at all.

Many times I have watched people say stuff and then they leave and you have people on this forum who are dedicated to this case asking that person questions over and over.

Is this done for attention or what?  People have feelings.

the trap story doesn't embarrass the Dutch.

The Croes comments do.

The Dutch won't act regarding anything related to Natalee's body once she left the island, if she did.

The Dutch will act if what Croes says is true and continues to EMBARRASS them.

The trap doesn't embarrass them.

Jan van der straaten and Paulus van der sloot do.

that's exactly right!

in a proper democracy now the Aruban Parliament should force Rudy Croes to resign.
but that is not going to happen because the MEP party has absolute majority.
al Government Minister are MEP. and Rudy Croes is brother of 'the founding father' of Aruba, Betico Croes.
there is absolutely no accountability there.

in the Dutch Parliament it's different.
there is accountability there if there is enough outrage.

a few weeks ago a Dutch minister (Vogelaar) had to resign because on Curaçao she announced there wasn't going to be a VIA - a index in which criminal Arubans/Antillians are listed.
Aruba and the Antilles were very happy! for one day, because the next day the Minister had to resign and the VIA was back on the table.
http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2008/11/integration_minister_quits_as.php
Quote
According to media reports, the final straw was Vogelaar’s decision not to go ahead with plans to set up a separate register listing the names of Antillean youths who are considered to be trouble-makers – a move backed by both the cabinet and Labour.
the VIA is another problem point for Aruba/Antilles - they find the VIA racist, this also might come up next week again.
but there is word that there is going to be a 'toned down' VIA, they can agree with.

but Croes embarrassed the Dutch government big time.
for one thing the Jan van der Straten/Paul van der Sloot revelation.
but even more embarrasing is that Croes said that a Dutch Minister wanted Joran to be portrayed as a Aruban.
that's code language for calling a Dutch Minister a racist.

you won't see me commenting on the cage. i found it all too disturbing.
but think about this: even if Croes, Paul van der Sloot, everybody on Aruba would admit everything - plead guiltly - just go al the way - even then there might be NO prosecution.
and the Aruban Parliament won't do one thing. there is no accountability.

so for me the only route is can see is the have the Dutch Parliament demand from Dutch Justice Minister Hirsch Ballin use the article 43.
in the Aruban newspaper this possibility is already mentioned:
Quote
According to Bikker the accusation of Croes made it possible that 'The Kingdom' by using article 43 of the Statute will step in.
http://www.amigoe.com/artman/publish/printer_50203.php

in the past as far as i know this the use of this article is only used twice:
-in 1969 there were riots on Curaçao. Half of Willemstad was burned down.
(http://www.curassow.com/2dvrc/stateofaffairs/politics/willemstad69.jpg)
(http://books.caribseek.com/Curacao/Het_Brionplein_in_Oude_Fotos/400/enige-dagen-na-de-brand.jpg)(http://static.tmg.nl/wuz/c/0/5/1212123845705.jpg)
Photo appeared on the frontpage of NY Times. Dutch Marines had to restore order.
Major embarassement.
ever since 1969 the Dutch hesitate to step in, because they don't want to be seen as a colonial power.

rather the Dutch wanted to get rid of the colonies altogether.
so they forced Suriname to become independent. but this was a disaster which let to a military junta (Bouterse).

so the Aruba didn't want to get fully independent anymore. just independent from the Antilles (Curaçao).
just enough autonomy to create their little banana-republic but keep a financial and defence life-line to The Netherlands.

-in 1999 in Curaçao the Dutch ordered to improve the conditions in the Koraal Specht prison.

but a few times more the use of article 43 is threatened.

From Kyle: march 18, 2008: If you want, you can get Red from SM off my back. I really don't like that guy. He thinks he knows what's going on but doesn't have a clue. I first saw the pics on the SM home page and fired off an email to Red believing that he would be understanding and help provide answers. I quickly found out what happened on my own and dealt with it. I could not believe his response.

In my opinion this discoloration is not another type of fabric, but rather biological staining or discoloration from biological growth caused from a high organic carbon content and decay. Basically, during decay a biological mat will form around the organics from remains. This is what I believe it is on the bottom of the fabric.

Kyle said: "Notice the end of the skirt is an identical match to the 90 degree angle in the sand.
- I believe her left arm was outstretched with her legs slightly bent. I did not edit the legs.
- I believe the tarp was placed over her and tucked around her, or perhaps tied down. I believe there are several rocks laying on the sand which were placed on the tarp, or inside the tarp over her body which explains their unusual location.
- Either way, the proportions appear promising.

Kyle said: “- I took the proportions of the body form from the head, to shoulder, to a 90 degree angle which I believed to be the hem line of Natalee's skirt. I then took those proportions and matched them to the photo of Natalee with what she was last seen wearing. The proportions matched within an inch from head, to shoulder, to skirt line.

Based on this comparison and with what we believed we saw in the Dec 29th video, Tim Miller contacted the family and told them the 99.9% comment. I told Tim not to do anything until we have forensic results back after the site is processed.

Jan 7th we sampled the contents and in my opinion we found the skirt under the sand along with the other items

The blue fabric was found right where the skirt is pictured. If it isn't her, it will forever haunt me as a major cosmic WTF.”

"since" is the word.  And the other recordings "jan 7" were sent by other team members on the boat.  Klaas, I am working on your reply now, and then I myself am off for the night.  There is no reasoning here.  I don't know what I have done to be treated in such a manner, or disliked so much, but, I do stand with the girl, and her parents.  And will continue to do so till this case is final.

I wasn't going to get involved, however,  the evidence and recovery dive was January 7th.  Only the preliminary pics were Dec. 29.

Kyle did not give anything to the FBI since the pictures and statements from Dec 29th-  true.   There was nothing else to send the FBI. They obviously already had the videos.  They were already sent prior to that date.   :smt102

"since" is the word.  And the other recordings "jan 7" were sent by other team members on the boat.  Klaas, I am working on your reply now, and then I myself am off for the night.  There is no reasoning here.  I don't know what I have done to be treated in such a manner, or disliked so much, but, I do stand with the girl, and her parents.  And will continue to do so till this case is final.  

Hotshot I don't have a problem with you.  I know you want Justice for Natalee.  My question was when did the family and FBI recieve the pictures/video?   I think you have given me my answer in that they were sent in a timely manner.  Thank you.

What I am finding out is that while Kyle did not send any pictures / video after Dec. 29th that others from the Persistence did send them.

I'm going to keep an open mind a little longer about Kyle.  Kermit makes a very good argument with what he/she has told us.  I am waiting for Kyles rebuttal.

That is correct. It was not Kyles responsibility to hand off the videos to the FBI and family, but they were given to the FBI and family immediately by other members of the Persistence. I don't know the context of the remarks by Kyle, you have to remember this was being discussed in a forum. Questions were being asked and answered openly. These are not private e-mails. Nothing was being hidden. In fact, Kyle was asked to this forum to discuss his experiences on the search. So did Kyle hand these photos to the FBI..no...did the FBI have them..well they certainly had the video these came from.

My understanding is that after the arubans went down to recover the contents of the trap, the members of the Persistence had thought they would bring the contents of the cage back onto the ship, instead they entered their own boat and off they went, so the crew of the Persistence never saw the evidence. This in itself did not alarm them because at that point, they did not believe Natalee was in the cage anymore. It was this action by the arubans, along with a series of other suspicious events that caused Kyle to have real concern with what was in the cage afterall.
Additional information that came out months after the search really caused concern for Kyle and so he sought out Beth to discuss the findings. The concerns were sent to Beth and Kyle was invited to a private forum to discuss what had transpired on the search and after. The posts by kermit are not her theories, but rather posts copied and pasted here from the forum where Kyle and others were disseminating the information.

Dateline has all of the footage of the cage, they had planned on airing more than should have been aired. I believe the FBI had to step in and stop them from showing too much footage. Initially they were supposed to be doing a show on Tim Miller and Texas Equisearch, not on the search for Natalee.

On the 24th, everyone on the Persistence believed 99.9% that the contents of the cage were Natalee. On the 25th they did a visual inspection and I believe at that point they were no longer sure it was Natalee. That is when Tim had to call Dave and say he jumped the gun.
What caused the suspicion that if fact it may have been Natalee after all, was how the arubans handled the evidence and investigation after.

ldstlou,

What are your thoughts about the "thumbs down" on Dec. 30th?

I think a lot of us are having trouble with the fact that a dive was planned for Jan. 7th to retrieve the contents/evidence that on the 30th were a 'thumbs down'.

Hope that makes sense....

But isn't that the problem??How were they under the assumption it wasn't her??If you are on the persistence and didn't test anything in that cage you can't come to a conclusion until Forensincs is done.No??

How can I help you figure this out?

Thanks Lou.

Don't fret hon.

I doubt that Jug or ... the rest of the family were/are aware of everything that Kyle revealed in his emails to Kermit or ... in his posts to the SM site  and the private forum ... in regards to the conflict of interest that John Silvetti  possessed ... a conflict of interest that implied a self-serving motive to allow the enemy full control of the chain of custody of the contents of the trap/cage.

An FBI agent observant should have been requested and present and ... both John Silvetti  and the ALE (enemy)  should each have had full copies of photos of the contents of that cage.  Justice for Natalee Holloway ... closure for her family and ... an obligation to the financial supporters of the search effort deserved no less.

We had little option other than to have the Aruban dive division recover the samples and bring them back under their care.  Remember we are Americans working in Aruban waters, subject to their laws, invitation, and blessing.  Our hands are tied for the most part. I personally was extremely uncomfortable with the chain of custody, being that we weren't a part of it, but I was powerless to do anything about it.   The samples were photographed in detail by one Aruban diver and the other two investigated the contents of the trap, the dimensions, the rigging, and what surrounded the trap.  From the video, it looked like they did a diligent and careful job with the samples and the underwater photography.  I don't know who has these pictures, but I must assume ALE.

I really feel the need to say again, that Kyle was invited into this private forum, and many know the forum I am referring to and why I felt it was sacred, as a result of his attempt to contact Beth to disclose his suspicions.
The posts you are seeing of Kyles..are posts taken from discussions that were taking place in this forum...there was no conspiracy. He was discussing these ideas openly and kermit is also a member of this forum, or at least was at the time, and that is how she learned of Kyle's concerns.

Janet, it's been a long weekend..lol...but I think I have a better understanding of what all happened. If I don't have the answers, I will ask. If I have been asked not to tell something, I will let you know that.

How can I help you figure this out?

Thanks Lou.

Don't fret hon.

I doubt that Jug or ... the rest of the family were/are aware of everything that Kyle revealed in his emails to Kermit or ... in his posts to the SM site  and the private forum ... in regards to the conflict of interest that John Silvetti  possessed ... a conflict of interest that implied a self-serving motive to allow the enemy full control of the chain of custody of the contents of the trap/cage.

An FBI agent observant should have been requested and present and ... both John Silvetti  and the ALE (enemy)  should each have had full copies of photos of the contents of that cage.  Justice for Natalee Holloway ... closure for her family and ... an obligation to the financial supporters of the search effort deserved no less.

Strike a deal:
I believe it was always the intention of members of the Persistence to create a documentary of the search for Natalee. Talks were happening between members of the Persistence and tv stations to air the documentary. Nothing covert or underhanded at all in these talks.

And the family or part of the family was aware of this correct?  This was not something Kyle was trying to profit from exclusively?

This is the strike a deal answer................... By February, Louis had put up over a million of his own money and well exceeded the amount he originally agreed to personally put up.  By early February they were talking about how to possibly extend the search effort and keep things going but funds were nearly out.  Louis did not want to reach out for public donations until all options were exhausted. They thought they would feel out the media to see if the story or footage was worth anything worthwhile to help with some of the costs, even if it could extend things a couple weeks.  He assumed Tim Trahan would have told Beth and Dave, but don't know for sure

I got a big problem with that.  How could he be on a boat with the man and only assume that the parents of the girl whose remains they were searching the ocean floor for had been notified that they were looking to sell the story/footage.  He couldn't have asked?  Did he give a damn about Dave and Beth?  Would have sold it and let them just see it on television?

He assumed Tim Trahan would have told Beth and Dave.  That seriously p*sses me off.

My understanding is that after the arubans went down to recover the contents of the trap, the members of the Persistence had thought they would bring the contents of the cage back onto the ship, instead they entered their own boat and off they went, so the crew of the Persistence never saw the evidence. This in itself did not alarm them because at that point, they did not believe Natalee was in the cage anymore. It was this action by the arubans, along with a series of other suspicious events that caused Kyle to have real concern with what was in the cage afterall.
Additional information that came out months after the search really caused concern for Kyle and so he sought out Beth to discuss the findings. The concerns were sent to Beth and Kyle was invited to a private forum to discuss what had transpired on the search and after. The posts by kermit are not her theories, but rather posts copied and pasted here from the forum where Kyle and others were disseminating the information.

Why would Natalee,and or what appears to be human remains not be in there before the 7th of January??If the Arubans clean the cage out on the 7th and the pictures were taken on the same day.How would the contents of the cage be gone before then???

Why would they believe she was no longer in there??

From what they were able to see visually when they did the dive on the 25th

A dive on the 25th contradicts my specific question to Kyle and his response.

Helen,

Thanks for the link, I posted it on my blog. I think I'll pick one or 2 every day and email them, ask they why?

I'll ask them how they will sleep this Christmas, how they'll eat and make sure I attach a picture of Natalee.

I want them to feel the burn of Shame these cowards live in every day.

Thanks, Frank.  I, too, will be writing.  After my bitching profusely about an investigation into the corruption, I feel I must at least exercise the opportunity Caesu has provided.  There is not much hope of justice without help from the Dutch, or pressure from the US State Department , no matter how many inconsistencies, lies, conflict of interest, corruption, remains, cages, and eyewitnesses are brought forward.  Aruba doesn't give a sh*t.  Aruba is just a little too close to the USA for me to be comfortable with their lawlessness.  I hope I can make that point effectively.

We can at least let them know that we know they could help.

What's the explanation for the sudden departure of the ship AFTER requesting funds to continue a search?  Why-when so many heeded that call for funds by sending in the donations-did they just up and leave without giving it a chance to collect the needed funds?  What were the funds for IF they thought they had been "had" by the Aruban OE back in Jan.07?

Kyle stated: "neither Dave, Robin, or Beth has seen any of the ROV footage aside from what was broadcasted on Dateline or the pictures leaked from the FBI to Dave (and Robin H.). Beth has seen nothing in my knowledge."

Kyle stated: "John is not a believer in the trap. He took ALE's word as gospel that it wasn't case related, yet never studied the videos or bothered to inquire further. He had plans on doing business with Aruba and in S. America and he didn't want to hurt any feelings by talks hinting at lack of complete trust and friendship."

Do you remember what was happening at the time the Persistence was in Aruba? Joran had been arrested again, Mos called Beth and Dave and John to Aruba to give them the "new evidence" and instead interrogated them for 4 hours on Natalee's "behavior". I believe this was Beth's focus at the time and Dave was working with the Persistence more so than Beth.

You have to remember that Kyle had just received info that did not set well with him and is now starting to wonder why? He is going back and forth with everything that happened with the members of this forum..trying to disseminate what happened...and so that is why just to bring that quote over...well..it is out of context..does that mae sense? It was a culmnation of events..including some that he found out about months after the search....that caused him to really start to become alarmed.

Kyle is not the bad guy here. It was because he was never allowed to know for sure whether it was her or not, because the arubans jumped on their boat and high tailed it away..that it will forever haunt him I believe. He was noodling out the possiblity in the forum...that is what all thse posts are...Kyle noodling out the possibility it was Natalee.

ldstlou don't get mad but you are not explaining this very well.  Please start at the point where Tim Miller sees on the monitor what he truly believes is Natalee.  To where divers go down and give a thumbs down that it is not Natalee to January 7th where the dive takes place and evidence is taken.

The problem that I am having is between the thumbs down dive to the collection of evidence on Jan 7th

I do appreciate what your saying.Do i believe something very wrong was going on with the Persistence??Yes.Do i know who exactly who was involved and why.NO.You can not for the life of me tell me these people searching for Natalee were that incompetent.That's putting it nicely!Unbelievable.You potentially have Natalee right under your boat and you up and let the ALE come in and take the contents of the cage without getting any samples.NOPE.Don't buy it for a second.

I am sorry I said Christmas day..it was the 30th.
This is the hard part. The Persistence was looking for clothing evidence. I don't believe they expected to find any bones or especially a skull in the water after all that time. I believe they got caught up in emotion, more than logic when they saw the image that looked like a skull. Logic says it would not be there. So I believe the visual showed it was not a skull. But there is still fabric there...and so still some hope. Until they can recover the fabric and have it tested..no one knows if Natalee was disposed of there or not. So the next step is to gather the fabric and have it tested. Kyle found out later..I believe it was late February, that the handling of the fabric was very suspect..thus the increased concerns and the reaching out to Beth.

I have to get this clarified better. And you know, Kermit knows the answers better than I do. She was there at the forum when this was being discussed. In my mind, this is what she should be discussing.

Aruba sets the collection date 7 days later. Persistence had no say so in the matter. Their hands were tied the same the FBI's hands were tied when they were there in the beginning with Beth.
The focus after the visual was gathering the material and having it tested.

I think the fact that he attempted to contact Beth when he found out the length of time it took Aruba to get the evidence to the FBI (21 days..no way it should have taken 21 days) along with the FBI's final report, that created the concern for Kyle. He then attepted to get the info to Beth, and then joined the forum to discuss his concerns. I don't think that is covering up at all.

I know that ldstlou.  That is why I called you because I knew what you were trying to say wasn't getting out there correctly.

I do think you and others are being mislead that John Silvetti and Tim Trahans actions were fully honorable.  It is just my humble opinion that Aruba never in a million years expected the Persistence to locate Natalee and when they did find her a deal was struck between John and Aruba for financial gain.  Just my humble opinion.  Something happened between Dec. 25th and January 7th.

My understanding is this, from the photos it appears to be a skull...from the visual it does not appear to be a skull...and remember...they weren't expecting to find a skull...it had been too long. But there was definately cloth in there, so I believe they were still excited about finding the cloth. The fact that they had found the trap, in about the exact loation as Tim predicted it would be, with what appeared to be clothing material, was miraculous to them all. Even without out the skull, it still looked hopeful.

What's the explanation for the sudden departure of the ship AFTER requesting funds to continue a search?  Why-when so many heeded that call for funds by sending in the donations-did they just up and leave without giving it a chance to collect the needed funds?  What were the funds for IF they thought they had been "had" by the Aruban OE back in Jan.07?

I never asked these questions so I really can't answer...it would just be a guess and I don't want to do that.

Is it possible that you could find out?

ldstlou don't get mad but you are not explaining this very well.  Please start at the point where Tim Miller sees on the monitor what he truly believes is Natalee.  To where divers go down and give a thumbs down that it is not Natalee to January 7th where the dive takes place and evidence is taken.

The problem that I am having is between the thumbs down dive to the collection of evidence on Jan 7th

What occured between the thumbs down dive and the dive on January 7th?

Iwill never get mad at you!! I just had no idea that what I was trying to relate was coming off the wrong way. I am glad you pointed that out to me. I am trying to get to the truth the same way as everyone else.

I know that ldstlou.  That is why I called you because I knew what you were trying to say wasn't getting out there correctly.

I do think you and others are being mislead that John Silvetti and Tim Trahans actions were fully honorable.  It is just my humble opinion that Aruba never in a million years expected the Persistence to locate Natalee and when they did find her a deal was struck between John and Aruba for financial gain.  Just my humble opinion.  Something happened between Dec. 25th and January 7th.

I don't know enough about these men to answer one way or the other Snoopy. I just know Tim Miller trusted them.

Just who is Caps Lock Wizard ? I could never make any sense out of the person's posts, always seemed to speak in code, beats around the bush, cryptic. ( Always thought to myself, what BS ! and stopped paying any attention months ago )  What exactly was the purpose of that person ? When did they " drop in " ?  Did they ever provide any information or was this yet another Aruban dispensing Three Card Monte posts ?
.. As for the Dutch being embarassed, well they knew years ago that there were inappropriate calls and conversations between Jan and Paulus. Nothing happened then and nothing will happen now. I read about these convos here and I think it was Karin Janssen who mentioned it in a public fashion. Wasn't that why Dompig replaced Jan ? So, they dealt with the problem in 2005. He was going to retire, he then wanted to stay on and they didn't let him. Case closed. All's well for all of those bastards.

ldstlou,

What are your thoughts about the "thumbs down" on Dec. 30th?

I think a lot of us are having trouble with the fact that a dive was planned for Jan. 7th to retrieve the contents/evidence that on the 30th were a 'thumbs down'.


Hope that makes sense....




I am sorry I said Christmas day..it was the 30th.
This is the hard part. The Persistence was looking for clothing evidence. I don't believe they expected to find any bones or especially a skull in the water after all that time. I believe they got caught up in emotion, more than logic when they saw the image that looked like a skull. Logic says it would not be there. So I believe the visual showed it was not a skull. But there is still fabric there...and so still some hope. Until they can recover the fabric and have it tested..no one knows if Natalee was disposed of there or not. So the next step is to gather the fabric and have it tested. Kyle found out later..I believe it was late February, that the handling of the fabric was very suspect..thus the increased concerns and the reaching out to Beth.

So the dive on December 30th was a thumbs down that it wasn't a scull in the trap?  And the diver that gave the thumbs down was Tim Trahan?  And Tim Trahan works with / for John Silvetti.  And Kyle was an employee that had a limited job? 

And when the dive was done on January 7th we are to believe that the only thing they were going to collect was material?  Not human remains?  This is what is cloudy for me.

I know you don't have all the answers ldstlou and I'm not trying to hold your feet to the fire, but please explain this as best you can.

Personally I'll always believe from the pictures that I have seen posted here at SM that it was human remains and that it was Natalee.

My understanding is this, from the photos it appears to be a skull...from the visual it does not appear to be a skull...and remember...they weren't expecting to find a skull...it had been too long. But there was definately cloth in there, so I believe they were still excited about finding the cloth. The fact that they had found the trap, in about the exact loation as Tim predicted it would be, with what appeared to be clothing material, was miraculous to them all. Even without out the skull, it still looked hopeful.

Understood.  Now since seeing the bags of evidence in the cage and what appears to me to be human bones isn't it odd that Tim Trahan would give a thumbs down?  I mean we have all seen the bags of evidence in the cage and I'm pretty sure that most of us agree that we see human bones.

This isn't against you ldstlou.  Just making observations.

You claim that Beth and Dave have no complaint with the search effort of the Persistence.  If they are aware of what Kyle has revealed in his own words ... I find that hard to believe.  I am devasted ... I want answers and ... Natalee is not my daughter.

We had little option other than to have the Aruban dive division recover the samples and bring them back under their care.  Remember we are Americans working in Aruban waters, subject to their laws, invitation, and blessing.  Our hands are tied for the most part. I personally was extremely uncomfortable with the chain of custody, being that we weren't a part of it, but I was powerless to do anything about it ...

Kyle said: "Notice the end of the skirt is an identical match to the 90 degree angle in the sand.
- I believe her left arm was outstretched with her legs slightly bent. I did not edit the legs.
- I believe the tarp was placed over her and tucked around her, or perhaps tied down. I believe there are several rocks laying on the sand which were placed on the tarp, or inside the tarp over her body which explains their unusual location.
- Either way, the proportions appear promising.

Kyle said: “- I took the proportions of the body form from the head, to shoulder, to a 90 degree angle which I believed to be the hem line of Natalee's skirt. I then took those proportions and matched them to the photo of Natalee with what she was last seen wearing. The proportions matched within an inch from head, to shoulder, to skirt line.

Based on this comparison and with what we believed we saw in the Dec 29th video, Tim Miller contacted the family and told them the 99.9% comment. I told Tim not to do anything until we have forensic results back after the site is processed.

Jan 7th we sampled the contents and in my opinion we found the skirt under the sand along with the other items

The blue fabric was found right where the skirt is pictured. If it isn't her, it will forever haunt me as a major cosmic WTF.”

If it still looked hopeful, then why would Tim call Dave and say it wasn't her?  Why, if they saw the cloth (which I thought was hidden under the sandbar that had settled on top of said material and wasn't discovered until the contents were sampled on the 7th) did they decide it had nothing to do with Natalee?  Who decided it had nothing to do with Natalee?  Was that Tim Trahan?

Perfect timing. Has made > 1000 posts. Can anyone think of one fact CAPS dispensed ?
Kyle said that he felt CAPS was one step away from Dirty Hand. Maybe it's old Dirty Hand himself.
ps I think Kyle had misgivings but he did nothing wrong personally. I also think there is a good likelyhood that Natalee was in that cage and CAPS was here for a purpose.  IMO

But the problem is, no one will ever know for sure if they were or not because the arubans went straight to their boat and left instead of boarding the Persistence like they were supposed to. But regardless, the material found could have proven one way or the other if it was Natalee. But arubans rushed off with it and then took 21 days to get the evidence to FBI to test. Why? I don't feel that this was done by the crew of the Persistence, but to the crew of the Persistence by the Arubans..just like they did with every other bit of evidence that has been found over the years.

I think it was a series of events..all talked about here, that happened after..and some not discussed here..like how long it took the FBI to get the evidence, that caused Kyle to start analysing everything.

If ldstlou tells me that the family tells her that they were sent the pictures in an appropriate amount of time then that is good enough for me.

My focus now is on Tim Trahan and John Silvetti.  I think a deal was struck. JMHO

And I've got the other eye on the latest news out of Aruba about Jan Vanderstratten.  This is what will bring this whole thing down.

So, I checked the membership rolls, Caps joined DEC 20, 2007.
Perfect timing. Has made > 1000 posts. Can anyone think of one fact CAPS dispensed ?
Kyle said that he felt CAPS was one step away from Dirty Hand. Maybe it's old Dirty Hand himself.
ps I think Kyle had misgivings but he did nothing wrong personally. I also think there is a good likelyhood that Natalee was in that cage and CAPS was here for a purpose.  IMO
OK here's a factoid : CAPS says that cage weighs 400 lbs and a crane would be needed, so that didn't fit the Natalee scenario. From that it didn't sound like something that Daury could do.

What's the explanation for the sudden departure of the ship AFTER requesting funds to continue a search?  Why-when so many heeded that call for funds by sending in the donations-did they just up and leave without giving it a chance to collect the needed funds?  What were the funds for IF they thought they had been "had" by the Aruban OE back in Jan.07?

They didn't leave suddenly.  It was announced and documented. When Louis said he was on empty, they tried to come up with some funds by calling for donations and reaching out to other industry folk, but that failed so they left.  The donations they recieved were a small fraction of what was needed to continue searching offshore Aruba.  The funds that were received by TES designated to the search effort after the call for donations were returned to the people who donated the monies.  They couldn't afford to just suspend the search while funds were trickling in. It cost almost as much to sit by the dock as it cost to keep going.  The search cost 10s of thousands per day. I don't think the donations even amounted to $10K, (- half a day of searching perhaps) despite the outpouring of support by so many who are close to the case.

ldstlou,

What are your thoughts about the "thumbs down" on Dec. 30th?

I think a lot of us are having trouble with the fact that a dive was planned for Jan. 7th to retrieve the contents/evidence that on the 30th were a 'thumbs down'.


Hope that makes sense....




I am sorry I said Christmas day..it was the 30th.
This is the hard part. The Persistence was looking for clothing evidence. I don't believe they expected to find any bones or especially a skull in the water after all that time. I believe they got caught up in emotion, more than logic when they saw the image that looked like a skull. Logic says it would not be there. So I believe the visual showed it was not a skull. But there is still fabric there...and so still some hope. Until they can recover the fabric and have it tested..no one knows if Natalee was disposed of there or not. So the next step is to gather the fabric and have it tested. Kyle found out later..I believe it was late February, that the handling of the fabric was very suspect..thus the increased concerns and the reaching out to Beth.

So the dive on December 30th was a thumbs down that it wasn't a scull in the trap?  And the diver that gave the thumbs down was Tim Trahan?  And Tim Trahan works with / for John Silvetti.  And Kyle was an employee that had a limited job? 

And when the dive was done on January 7th we are to believe that the only thing they were going to collect was material?  Not human remains?  This is what is cloudy for me.

I know you don't have all the answers ldstlou and I'm not trying to hold your feet to the fire, but please explain this as best you can.

Personally I'll always believe from the pictures that I have seen posted here at SM that it was human remains and that it was Natalee.

My understanding is this, from the photos it appears to be a skull...from the visual it does not appear to be a skull...and remember...they weren't expecting to find a skull...it had been too long. But there was definately cloth in there, so I believe they were still excited about finding the cloth. The fact that they had found the trap, in about the exact loation as Tim predicted it would be, with what appeared to be clothing material, was miraculous to them all. Even without out the skull, it still looked hopeful.

I'm confused again.  Please be patient with me here, I'm not trying to be rude to you at all.

If it still looked hopeful, then why would Tim call Dave and say it wasn't her?  Why, if they saw the cloth (which I thought was hidden under the sandbar that had settled on top of said material and wasn't discovered until the contents were sampled on the 7th) did they decide it had nothing to do with Natalee?  Who decided it had nothing to do with Natalee?  Was that Tim Trahan?





I don't feel right about answering this one because I have never spoken to Tim or Dave. But the visual showed it was not a skull. There was still the material to collect and test though, which is what they were expecting to find when they began the search. Does that make sense?

I trust Tim Miller to use my  money I donated for his own needs in whatever search he does but I did not receive my money back.  It wasn't much but I trust TES to do what they want with it.

Please do not start on Caps.  Klaas has repeatedly said she believe he's on the up and up and I do not want him to be dragged into this.  Jossy has given the witness from the pond's name on national television so this person is not a figment of Caps imagination.  Caps has done a lot of good and brought us lots of information.  I don't always agree with his assessment of Shango, but he has never told me something concerning that pond that has not proven true.  If you disregard what Caps has said about the pond witness you also are calling Tim a liar since he was the person that made arrangements for the witness to take a polygraph here in the United States.  To bring Caps in this as another one of the conspiracy bunch is not fair to him.  Klaas and Red are well aware of his identity.

this is confusing to me...what could it have been? ...  are you saying that after ALE dove and took away the contents of the cage that item that appeared to be skull and did not appear to be a skull...was suspect?

I think it was a series of events..all talked about here, that happened after..and some not discussed here..like how long it took the FBI to get the evidence, that caused Kyle to start analysing everything. But his focus has been more on the material than the skull..so I don't think they believed it was a skull even after all the suspicious activity that happened after. But I will ask and post after I am sure. Right now, that is just my guess based on what we have discussed so far.
Thanks.  So the appears to be a skull/appears Not to be a skull is your guess and not information you learned to pass on to the forum?

Since the Persistence expected ALE to bring the contents of their dive to the Persistence and instead ALE took off with the evidence I would think that would have raised a huge red flag???

it did alert them but not considerably until some of the other events unfolded. And remember, it didn't alert all of the members, but as you can tell by Kyle's posts in the forum, he was disturbed by what happened then and after.

Kat ... I agree.  i I firmly believe that there is a connect between the Persistence search effort and ...the emergence of CAPS on the SM Natalee threads.

Very early on ... I had serious misgivings regarding aspects of the Persistence search effort ... the inconsistencies in some of Kyle's posts ... the ALE/John Silvetti connection as well as ... CAPS presence on the forum ... a presence that appeared to distract from the search efforts ... a presence that appears to be a smokescreen meant to distract from the truth and ... provide misinformation.

However ... the search effort was upheld ... Kyle's inconsistencies were justified and ... CAPS cryptic posts were consider the catalyst that would reveal the truth encompassing the Natalee Holloway case.  Heaven help me if I challenged his research.

Kat ... I was not just in the minority ... I was alone.

I became so discourage.  My heart never left the Natalee Holloway case but ... at the beginning of July ... I made the decision to take a sabatical from the forum.  It was becoming too frustrating.

So...

Kermit says that the FBI did not have the footage of the dive on Jan 7th that Kyle surreptiously took with the ROV camera.

Ldstlou says that the FBI did have that footage, it was sent shortly after the dive by someone else on the Persistence team, therefore Kyle didn't need to send it to the FBI.

I don't know who is telling the truth, but they can't both be true.  Quite possibly its just a misunderstanding and no one is lying.

Ldstlou - thank you so much for coming back and having this amicable conversation with us. 

I need to say this to those who are concerned for Kyle: 
I'm completely disappointed that the Persistence team or their leadership allowed ALE to get the contents of the trap.  Right or wrong, I did expect better of them.  That said, not a single person on that team is responsible for what happened to Natalee on the island of Aruba.  We know who the real culprits are and they were not a part of the ocean search.  This is a side issue, we should all keep that in mind.

Peace to all monkeys.

OK Only because it's you. See, I was away from this for quite few months. I bailed because of family illness sometime in March of 2008. I was here & BFN  and at OE's place during the height of the search. I was here when Caps first showed up and then just dismissed the person as another Aruban bs-er. We have had so many ppl who claim to know so much who knew nothing. Well, maybe they did, but here it is Decemebr of 2008 and my first post anywhere regarding this was Aug of 2005. And this is wearing thin for me.

Lou ... what is this visual that you are referring to?  I concedes that it is speculation regarding what appears to be a skull in the ROV images but ... there is definite something there to base speculation on.

Yes, she has...read her posts.  Klaas has said she believes him to be a good person.  She knows all there is to know about Caps.  I am so sick of what is happening to some of the good people that have done nice things for the family.  It's become more than I can stand to sit by and watch this happen.  Caps is well known by Dave too, so before we jump onto him everyone should take a step back and think if that is what you really want to do.  I know Caps name and I know what he's all about and it's not about hiding anything.  I can assure you that Mos was not happy about this new witness...the one Caps brought to him...it upset his apple cart and when Tim made arrangements for the witness to come to Texas that too got under Mos skin.  Tim told this story on Dana one night so don't anyone think I am making this up...I am not.  Jossy told his name on Greta last week...so he's a real breathing person.  I just think bashing Caps because he appears to be part of some conspiracy to cover up is beyond the pale.  I am done with this, but I wanted to stand up for Caps because there have been times I should have taken up for others that have left here and I didn't.  I won't leave this time without having my say about Caps.  He is one of the good guys here.   Attack me if you want, but leave Caps alone in this...he was not involved in any of the Persistence stuff.

Please do not start on Caps.  Klaas has repeatedly said she believe he's on the up and up and I do not want him to be dragged into this.  Jossy has given the witness from the pond's name on national television so this person is not a figment of Caps imagination.  Caps has done a lot of good and brought us lots of information.  I don't always agree with his assessment of Shango, but he has never told me something concerning that pond that has not proven true.  If you disregard what Caps has said about the pond witness you also are calling Tim a liar since he was the person that made arrangements for the witness to take a polygraph here in the United States.  To bring Caps in this as another one of the conspiracy bunch is not fair to him.  Klaas and Red are well aware of his identity. 
OK Only because it's you. See, I was away from this for quite few months. I bailed because of family illness sometime in March of 2008. I was here & BFN  and at OE's place during the height of the search. I was here when Caps first showed up and then just dismissed the person as another Aruban bs-er. We have had so many ppl who claim to know so much who knew nothing. Well, maybe they did, but here it is Decemebr of 2008 and my first post anywhere regarding this was Aug of 2005. And this is wearing thin for me.   

I am sorry that it sounded like I was attacking you...I really wasn't.  I think you set me off and I did not make myself clear.  Not my intention...just wanted people to understand that Caps is one of the good guys.   Seems so many of our good guys have left us for greener pastures. I guess I am just frustrated.

So...

Kermit says that the FBI did not have the footage of the dive on Jan 7th that Kyle surreptiously took with the ROV camera.

Ldstlou says that the FBI did have that footage, it was sent shortly after the dive by someone else on the Persistence team, therefore Kyle didn't need to send it to the FBI.

I don't know who is telling the truth, but they can't both be true.  Quite possibly its just a misunderstanding and no one is lying.

Ldstlou - thank you so much for coming back and having this amicable conversation with us. 

I need to say this to those who are concerned for Kyle: 
I'm completely disappointed that the Persistence team or their leadership allowed ALE to get the contents of the trap.  Right or wrong, I did expect better of them.  That said, not a single person on that team is responsible for what happened to Natalee on the island of Aruba.  We know who the real culprits are and they were not a part of the ocean search.  This is a side issue, we should all keep that in mind.

Peace to all monkeys. 

If Lou is correct ... I cannot only assume that both Kyle and Kermit must be lying.

I am going to assume that for the time being that Kyle was only speaking for himself as to what had been sent to the family.  What I am seeing is that Kyle had a specific job and nothing more.

I can understand why some would question who Caps is, especially those who haven't been here all the time he has.  Some have not had as much communication with him as others.  I still believe he is one of the good guys.  I believe he has tried to help find the answers and has spent a lot of time researching any and all possibilities.  I have at times been concerned that others may have taken advantage of him to further their own agendas. 

But Caps is quite capable of taking care of himself, of that I have no doubt.

I have to get a firm statement on this. Here is what I do know. Hope this helps.
Members of Quantico were on the Persistence, they were there when the dive was done on the 30th and actually told a member of Dateline it was not Natalee and they could use the footage in the show. Members of the Persistence did not learn this until later and called Dateline and got them to NOT air the footage. The FBI told Dateline they could not air the full footage of the case because it was under investigation. Dateline had to take the additional footage out of their show, so I know they had the footage based on this info.

I respectfully but strongly disagree.

If John Silvetti was not involved in the chain of custody of the contents of that cage ... the implication is that the search effort was nothing but a endeavor to find Natalee's remains and ... turn them over to Aruba for destruction ... nothing but an endeavor to further the coverup in regards to the happening on the morning of May 30, 2005.

It was better that the trap and its contents stayed at the bottom of the ocean ... waiting to be discovered by someone who would take the appropriate avenues to protect the evidence from the enemy ... protect the evidence from those who had an agenda to destroy it.

Think about it.  If Natalee Holloway's remains were in the trap ... her family will never be given the opportunity to bring her home ... bring her home to American soil.

Think about it.  Sacrificial donations went into the funding of the Persistence search effort and ... John Silvetti just turned over to the enemy without a challenge what may have been Natalee Holloway's remains.

Justice for Natalee Holloway ... closure for her parents and ... accountability to those who donated to the search effort deserved so much more.

Well that opens up a whole new realm of possibilities!  Now we can only hope and pray that sometime between the 30th of December and the 7th of January that samples were taken by the FBI to be tested; and compared to what they received from the Aruban authorities.  All logic tells me that this was done; if it wasn't....I don't know what to think because giving up just isn't an option!

That truly is what I am thinking too texasmom.  Of course that can never be public knowledge and I understand if that is indeed the fact.

It gives me hope.  Hope that Justice is coming.

Please do not start on Caps.  Klaas has repeatedly said she believe he's on the up and up and I do not want him to be dragged into this.  Jossy has given the witness from the pond's name on national television so this person is not a figment of Caps imagination.  Caps has done a lot of good and brought us lots of information.  I don't always agree with his assessment of Shango, but he has never told me something concerning that pond that has not proven true.  If you disregard what Caps has said about the pond witness you also are calling Tim a liar since he was the person that made arrangements for the witness to take a polygraph here in the United States.  To bring Caps in this as another one of the conspiracy bunch is not fair to him.  Klaas and Red are well aware of his identity. 

 ::MonkeyShocked::



Yes, she has...read her posts.  Klaas has said she believes him to be a good person.  She knows all there is to know about Caps.  I am so sick of what is happening to some of the good people that have done nice things for the family.  It's become more than I can stand to sit by and watch this happen.  Caps is well known by Dave too, so before we jump onto him everyone should take a step back and think if that is what you really want to do.  I know Caps name and I know what he's all about and it's not about hiding anything.  I can assure you that Mos was not happy about this new witness...the one Caps brought to him...it upset his apple cart and when Tim made arrangements for the witness to come to Texas that too got under Mos skin.  Tim told this story on Dana one night so don't anyone think I am making this up...I am not.  Jossy told his name on Greta last week...so he's a real breathing person.  I just think bashing Caps because he appears to be part of some conspiracy to cover up is beyond the pale.  I am done with this, but I wanted to stand up for Caps because there have been times I should have taken up for others that have left here and I didn't.  I won't leave this time without having my say about Caps.  He is one of the good guys here.   Attack me if you want, but leave Caps alone in this...he was not involved in any of the Persistence stuff.

Lala'sMom ... Klaas has never indicated that Monkeys have to uphold her contention on every issue.

I am sorry, you misunderstood me, it was the video of the dive that the FBI stated they were investigating. Because the FBI was investigating it as POSSIBLE evidence, Dateline was not allow to air the footage.

We had little option other than to have the Aruban dive division recover the samples and bring them back under their care.  Remember we are Americans working in Aruban waters, subject to their laws, invitation, and blessing.  Our hands are tied for the most part. I personally was extremely uncomfortable with the chain of custody, being that we weren't a part of it, but I was powerless to do anything about it ...

Kyle said: "Notice the end of the skirt is an identical match to the 90 degree angle in the sand.
- I believe her left arm was outstretched with her legs slightly bent. I did not edit the legs.
- I believe the tarp was placed over her and tucked around her, or perhaps tied down. I believe there are several rocks laying on the sand which were placed on the tarp, or inside the tarp over her body which explains their unusual location.
- Either way, the proportions appear promising.

Kyle said: “- I took the proportions of the body form from the head, to shoulder, to a 90 degree angle which I believed to be the hem line of Natalee's skirt. I then took those proportions and matched them to the photo of Natalee with what she was last seen wearing. The proportions matched within an inch from head, to shoulder, to skirt line.

Based on this comparison and with what we believed we saw in the Dec 29th video, Tim Miller contacted the family and told them the 99.9% comment. I told Tim not to do anything until we have forensic results back after the site is processed.

Jan 7th we sampled the contents and in my opinion we found the skirt under the sand along with the other items

The blue fabric was found right where the skirt is pictured. If it isn't her, it will forever haunt me as a major cosmic WTF.”

Caps is not a bad guy here.  He has done nothing but try to help Dave Hollaway find his daughter.  I refuse to let anyone say otherwise.  I know how many times he has had contact with Dave and Tim concerning the pond. Caps is not the bad guy and he should not be connected with the Persistence stuff that has been bandied about for the past week.  Caps did not know who any of them until some of us prodded him in their direction.  I am not willing to let his name be muddied in all of this.  I don't care what you think...but I will stand by Caps as trying to help Natalee's family the best he could.  We will have to disagree on this one.

Hmmm..from what I remember, I only heard that the sample of the blouse, turned over to the FBI by ALE, was not Natalee's.
Yes, Logic also implies to me that someone had to collect samples before ALE divers removed (and probably destroyed) any evidence caught on ROV videos.
There seems to be a lot of play on words on what exactly was/wasn't sampled/videoed/collected by ALE/turned over to fbi, etc.
Maybe there is a lot more behind the scenes that we haven't heard that could explain the inconsistencies.

So...

Kermit says that the FBI did not have the footage of the dive on Jan 7th that Kyle surreptiously took with the ROV camera.

Ldstlou says that the FBI did have that footage, it was sent shortly after the dive by someone else on the Persistence team, therefore Kyle didn't need to send it to the FBI.

I don't know who is telling the truth, but they can't both be true.  Quite possibly its just a misunderstanding and no one is lying.

Ldstlou - thank you so much for coming back and having this amicable conversation with us. 

I need to say this to those who are concerned for Kyle: 
I'm completely disappointed that the Persistence team or their leadership allowed ALE to get the contents of the trap.  Right or wrong, I did expect better of them.  That said, not a single person on that team is responsible for what happened to Natalee on the island of Aruba.  We know who the real culprits are and they were not a part of the ocean search.  This is a side issue, we should all keep that in mind.

Peace to all monkeys. 

If Lou is correct ... I cannot only assume that both Kyle and Kermit must be lying.

God bless you, Janet!  I looked for that first quote and couldn't find it.  Was actually hoping you'd respond with the backup, you're so good with the documentation!  We should stop everyday and tell you how lucky we are to have you here.  I mean that.

Ldstlou, can you clear this up?  How do you know the FBI had the footage from the dive on January 7th?  Who on the Persistence team sent it to them shortly after the dive?  Whose word precisely are we taking on this?



I have to get a firm statement on this. Here is what I do know. Hope this helps.
Members of Quantico were on the Persistence, they were there when the dive was done on the 30th and actually told a member of Dateline it was not Natalee and they could use the footage in the show. Members of the Persistence did not learn this until later and called Dateline and got them to NOT air the footage. The FBI told Dateline they could not air the full footage of the case because it was under investigation. Dateline had to take the additional footage out of their show, so I know they had the footage based on this info.

did that come out right? When FBI found out Dateline was going to air the whole footage of the dive on the 30th, the FBI called them and stopped it because they said the footage was under investigation by the FBI.  Dateline was allowed to air anything that was not evidence. FBI says contents were under investigation by themselves and forced Dateline not to air the full video

We're getting there!  My original post quoted up there was referring to the footage of the Jan. 7th dive from which the still shots that Kermit posted on SM were taken from. 

It sounds like you're talking about the footage from Dec. 30th.

I've edited my original question above to ask it more clearly.

{I have to get a firm statement on this. Here is what I do know. Hope this helps.
Members of Quantico were on the Persistence, they were there when the dive was done on the 30th and actually told a member of Dateline it was not Natalee and they could use the footage in the show. Members of the Persistence did not learn this until later and called Dateline and got them to NOT air the footage. The FBI told Dateline they could not air the full footage of the case because it was under investigation. Dateline had to take the additional footage out of their show, so I know they had the footage based on this info.


did that come out right? When FBI found out Dateline was going to air the whole footage of the dive on the 30th, the FBI called them and stopped it because they said the footage was under investigation by the FBI.  Dateline was allowed to air anything that was not evidence. FBI says contents were under investigation by themselves and forced Dateline not to air the full video}

ldstlou,

I know they were there on  the 30th. I will ask if they were there before and after and get back to you tomorrow.

ldstlou can you clear up for us if the family had knowledge of the additional pictures from the January 7th dive and did they receive those pictures in a timely manner?  TIA

Also can you verify that this information came from a family member.

I know they received them I honestly don't know when and I don't think Kyle has any idea when exactly they received them, it was out of his hands. I know that I showed the photos to Jug and he said none of the information we have discussing was new to them or had been withheld from them.
I know some have doubted Jug's knowledge of the matter, but I trust Jug and I have never known him to comment on something he doesn't have knowledge on. I trust his word.

That's good enough for me.  Thank you for coming back here ldstlou and helping to clear some things up.  I know that you only seek the truth and justice for Natalee.  But girlfriend I gotta tell ya sometimes you don't spit it out very good. lol  I know this evening discussion has helped me clear some things up.

I still have a lot of questions concerning Silvetti / Trahan.  I know we don't agree on that. 

No passes from me until i hear what Kermit has to say.This just pisses me off.Is Kyle still working for Silvetti or schaeffer????

It's good enough for me what ldstlou says because it comes straight from Jug.  I too am still willing to listen to Kermit.  I'm pissed too.  We all deserve answers.  And nobody likes being lied to. Or being mislead.  Keep the Faith Keepthefaith. lol

Just one more note and then I have to get to bed. It is my understanding that kermit was a member of this private forum that Kyle discussed all this information with, that she was a part of the discussions. I believe she can answer a lot of the questions much better than I can. I think she should be answering them since she introduced the subject here.

The word for the day, class, is OBFUSCATION

ob⋅fus⋅cate   /ˈɒbfəˌskeɪt, ɒbˈfʌskeɪt/ Show Spelled Pronunciation  [ob-fuh-skeyt, ob-fuhs-keyt] Show IPA Pronunciation 

–verb (used with object), -cat⋅ed, -cat⋅ing. 1. to confuse, bewilder, or stupefy.
2. to make obscure or unclear: to obfuscate a problem with extraneous information. 
3. to darken.

Sometimes the Monkeys call this misinformation or disinformation.  Characteristics of an obfuscator are:
1. repeating the same irrelevant and obtuse questions,
2. posting long quotes,
3. quoting yourself, ad infinatum,
4. focusing on minor and irrelevant points for pages and pages,
5. name-calling and hyperbole,
6. frequent use of capital letters and exclamation points to indicate excitability and emotion,
7. adopting an "I know this" attitude while never providing proof of knowledge,
8. and finally, when the obfuscator is uncovered, leaving the forum in an emotional outburst.

You know who you are.  The monkeys know who you are.  The monkeys are too smart to become distracted from the truth by the machinations of an obfuscator.

Class over.

Ok, I've been reviewing the posts and it appears nothing has changed or been cleared up at all.

Kermit says the Jan. 7th footage was only recently turned over to the FBI and the family.

Regarding the same Jan. 7th footage, all ldstlou categorically stated was that she didn't know when it was turned over to the FBI and neither did Kyle, but now the FBI does have it and the family, Jug specifically, is aware of it.

This means Kermit was telling the truth and Kyle wasn't the one who turned over the footage and there's no reason to believe it was "turned over in a timely fashion by another member of the Persistence team" - that was the Dec. 30th footage.

Someone please set me straight if I've got it wrong.

No one knows what happened with the evidence after the arubans took off with it, but if there was foul play,  the family does not think Kyle was involved, that is for sure.

I never implied that Kyle was involved in any "foul play".

Lou, please answers my questions ... yes or no ... one question at a time ... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Thank you.

You claim that Beth and Dave have no complaint with the search effort of the Persistence.  If they are aware of what Kyle has revealed in his own words ... I find that hard to believe.  I am devasted ... I want answers and ... Natalee is not my daughter.

We had little option other than to have the Aruban dive division recover the samples and bring them back under their care.  Remember we are Americans working in Aruban waters, subject to their laws, invitation, and blessing.  Our hands are tied for the most part. I personally was extremely uncomfortable with the chain of custody, being that we weren't a part of it, but I was powerless to do anything about it ...

Kyle said: "Notice the end of the skirt is an identical match to the 90 degree angle in the sand.

- I believe her left arm was outstretched with her legs slightly bent. I did not edit the legs.
- I believe the tarp was placed over her and tucked around her, or perhaps tied down. I believe there are several rocks laying on the sand which were placed on the tarp, or inside the tarp over her body which explains their unusual location.
- Either way, the proportions appear promising.

Kyle said: “- I took the proportions of the body form from the head, to shoulder, to a 90 degree angle which I believed to be the hem line of Natalee's skirt. I then took those proportions and matched them to the photo of Natalee with what she was last seen wearing. The proportions matched within an inch from head, to shoulder, to skirt line.

Based on this comparison and with what we believed we saw in the Dec 29th video, Tim Miller contacted the family and told them the 99.9% comment. I told Tim not to do anything until we have forensic results back after the site is processed.

Jan 7th we sampled the contents and in my opinion we found the skirt under the sand along with the other items

The blue fabric was found right where the skirt is pictured. If it isn't her, it will forever haunt me as a major cosmic WTF.”

I am sorry, you misunderstood me, it was the video of the dive that the FBI stated they were investigating. Because the FBI was investigating it as POSSIBLE evidence, Dateline was not allow to air the footage.

I don't think I misunderstood that the FBI was on board the Persistence on the 30th of December?  That is where my realm of possibilities came from.

My impression is that perhaps some of the folks from the secret forum group may be using the Caps argument as a strawman to sidetrack us from the Kyle discussion. 

Funny how it keeps getting thrown up out of nowhere in the middle of all this.

Again, my impression only.   ::MonkeyCool::


Lifesong,
I see what you mean, and it  seems some of those same folks are also trying to deflect Kermits posts as somehow being unfair because they somehow break a code of silence...WTH.
Like Frank, Rob, wreck, blah, Janet, San, Blonde, Klaas and so many others, mho this forum is not being
about withholding info and asking others to believe you because you know more than the rest....this forum is about finding justice for Natalee. Wherever that may lead, that is the point and if some are offended...Oh well.
Bring Natalee home. Anything after that is extra....but I'd love to see all the conspirators face the music, in this life or the next.... ::MonkeyCool::
I HATE THEM ALL! ::MonkeyCool::

I can understand why some would question who Caps is, especially those who haven't been here all the time he has.  Some have not had as much communication with him as others.  I still believe he is one of the good guys.  I believe he has tried to help find the answers and has spent a lot of time researching any and all possibilities.  I have at times been concerned that others may have taken advantage of him to further their own agendas.

Meanwhile, Beth and Dave suffer and Natalee remains dead for another Christmas. And all this energy is wasted.

At a moment when we are starting, long over-due, to look at the first 48 hours and a direct  accusation of what we've known all along, you're focusing of underwater pictures?

Skipping past the van der straaten involvement, the van der sloot house, and the actual crimes committed against Natalee in her last moments?

And by Paulus van der sloot when she was alive.

How can anyone picture Natalee's face right now and waste time making this about anything other than bringing her home?

Confrontation can be a great moment in the creative process but this ain't it.

Thanks, Frank.

I'm spending my energy writing to the members of the Dutch parliament, asking that they initiate an investigation of the corruption in the Aruban government, resulting in the violation of Natalee Holloway's human rights. 

Information provided by Caesu snipped from post on page five of this thread:

so through article 43 is the only option for Aruba

that's why i keep repeating that it is important to contact the Dutch members of Parliament.
and the coming week is crucial with debates on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - leading op to the Round Table Conference between the three Prime-Ministers with Balkenende presiding in Curaçao on December 15th.


list of members of Parliament of the Aruban/Antilles committee:
http://www.tweedekamer.nl/kamerleden/commissies/NAAZ/index.jsp#0
names on top of the list are the highest ranking members.
(e-mail will appear if you click on a name and "Naar persoonlijke pagina").


As soon as I figure out the etiquette for writing to a member of the Dutch Parliament, I am writing them all.
Wanna help me? ::MonkeyWink::



We do really need to keep the pressure on for the next couple of weeks as this is our best chance at bringing the Rudy Croes declaration to the attention of those who can actually do something about it.

And I believe the Internal Affairs Division of the Dutch police is called the Rijksrecherche.

Ok, I've been reviewing the posts and it appears nothing has changed or been cleared up at all.

Kermit says the Jan. 7th footage was only recently turned over to the FBI and the family.

Regarding the same Jan. 7th footage, all ldstlou categorically stated was that she didn't know when it was turned over to the FBI and neither did Kyle, but now the FBI does have it and the family, Jug specifically, is aware of it.

This means Kermit was telling the truth and Kyle wasn't the one who turned over the footage and there's no reason to believe it was "turned over in a timely fashion by another member of the Persistence team" - that was the Dec. 30th footage.

Someone please set me straight if I've got it wrong.






Not much from what i understand!This was the worst Dog and pony show i've seen.People need to quit speaking for Kyle.He's grown.come discuss this where people will ask tough questions in order to get to the truth!He chose not to discuss this with Kermit.Why?????I'm standing with the FROG until Kyle can sway me any other way.Have a feeling that won't happen..Hope i'm wrong.Let's stay focused with what we know.Back to how things transpired on the Persistence,the chain of command,who was in charge on the Persistence,protocal,who chose when to dive and why,who was the chief contact on the persistence in regards to the Arubans,etc,etc,etc....

 have to get a firm statement on this. Here is what I do know. Hope this helps.
Members of Quantico were on the Persistence, they were there when the dive was done on the 30th and actually told a member of Dateline it was not Natalee and they could use the footage in the show. Members of the Persistence did not learn this until later and called Dateline and got them to NOT air the footage. The FBI told Dateline they could not air the full footage of the case because it was under investigation. Dateline had to take the additional footage out of their show, so I know they had the footage based on this info
http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=4216.620

 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.

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.

There is no way that Jug Twitty has been privy to all of Kyle's words ... in email ... in posts to a "secret forum" and ... in posts to the SM site ...  and still maintain that the motives and happenings encompassing the Persistence endeavor was all about justice for his precious step-daughter.

Kyle's words imply that he believes that Natalee's remains could possibly have been in that trap which the Arubans took possession of without a protest or challenge from John Silvetti.  The implication of John Silvetti's actions is ... all hope is gone that the family will every be affored the opportunity to bring their Natalee home ... home to American soil.

Kyle's professional position on the Persistence implies he has first hand knowledge of what was said and done in regards to the chain of command and ... he has first hand knowledge of the John Silvetti/ALE connection.  In other words ... Kyle's words expose the Persistence endeavor for what it was ... THE GRAND FINALE' TO THE ARUBAN COVERUP!

I called ldstlou for one reason and one reason only this evening.  I wanted to ask her a specific question.  And that was did Jug and the family know about the photos that Kermit posted here this past week in a timely manner.  She ask him and his reply was that yes they had known about them for some time.

I then told her that she needed to come back here and lay it out there.  She did.

I also voiced my concerns about some of the things Kyle was telling others but yet was contridicting himself on this forum.

I still ahve some reservations about Kyle.  It is possible that some the things we are being told has been taken out of text.

I have no reason to not believe Kermit.  He / she has made a compelling argument.

But I do know that the family has said that they have known about the pictures for some time.

This does not mean that someone is lieing blah blah blah.

Yes Kyle should come back here and explain himself, and I told lsdtlou to tell him that.

So I sure hope you weren't meaning I was involved in a dog and pony show.  I just want the freakin truth.

Friends of Kyle took over the board to offer soft, simple, mis

I think Kyle may be a little afraid of going to jail for the things
he has done, but why send women to defend him.  Why can't he

Ok, I've been reviewing the posts and it appears nothing has changed or been cleared up at all.

Kermit says the Jan. 7th footage was only recently turned over to the FBI and the family.

Regarding the same Jan. 7th footage, all ldstlou categorically stated was that she didn't know when it was turned over to the FBI and neither did Kyle, but now the FBI does have it and the family, Jug specifically, is aware of it.

This means Kermit was telling the truth and Kyle wasn't the one who turned over the footage and there's no reason to believe it was "turned over in a timely fashion by another member of the Persistence team" - that was the Dec. 30th footage.

Someone please set me straight if I've got it wrong.

Snoopy,
I can't speak for anyone else but I think you did your best to get to the truth.  I think that's a good thing.  However, no one can ever speak for someone better than that person can speak for themself in my opinion.  That's my only problem with ldstlou's attempts tonight. 

If Kyle has nothing to hide, he should come here and speak for himself.

It's time for all the truth to come out, good or bad. 

It's all about Justice for Natalee, nothing else.

 have to get a firm statement on this. Here is what I do know. Hope this helps.
Members of Quantico were on the Persistence, they were there when the dive was done on the 30th and actually told a member of Dateline it was not Natalee and they could use the footage in the show. Members of the Persistence did not learn this until later and called Dateline and got them to NOT air the footage. The FBI told Dateline they could not air the full footage of the case because it was under investigation. Dateline had to take the additional footage out of their show, so I know they had the footage based on this info
http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=4216.620
 
According to Kyle that was the FBI they gave him permission

 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.

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.

I agree.Quit speaking for Kyle.He can take all the time in the world and go through Kermit's posts and help all of us Monkey's understand what transpired on the Persistence.What everyone's roles were,who initiated the Arubans coming out on the 7th...He's got all the answers we need but is unwilling at this time to speak for himself.Why???

.. As for the Dutch being embarassed, well they knew years ago that there were inappropriate calls and conversations between Jan and Paulus. Nothing happened then and nothing will happen now. I read about these convos here and I think it was Karin Janssen who mentioned it in a public fashion. Wasn't that why Dompig replaced Jan ? So, they dealt with the problem in 2005. He was going to retire, he then wanted to stay on and they didn't let him. Case closed. All's well for all of those bastards.   
yes course they should have been embarrassed from the beginning.
after all Joran/Paul vdS, Jan van Straten, Karin Jansen, Mos, and most (or all?) of the Judges are all Dutch.
and this Van Deutekom guy is also Dutch. but i am still unsure about his role.

but the embarrassment is constantly building. at one point it will reach a point when the Dutch can't stand idle any longer.

Jan van der Straten is going to respond to Rudy Croes. Rudy will in turn respond.
Joran will do something stupid again in the coming weeks or months.
Peter R. de Vries will have a new broadcast next year or maybe even his last broadcast of the year this month.
Brinkman will not sit quiet. in January he goes on another Parliamentary Delegation to visit Aruba/Antilles.

also next year there are elections on Aruba.
so for sure both AVP and MEP will accuse eachother of corruption and they may spill some beans.
the MEP is calling the AVP: Aruba Vernietigings Partij = Party for the Destruction of Aruba.
and the campaign only started this week. 9 months of campaigning to go.
and the date set for the disassembling of the Antilles 1st January 2010. but this date might be postponed again, that depends on how it goes the coming weeks with the Round Table Conference.

so the embarrassment will build. at one point the sh*t is going to hit the fan.

with this political tension and embarrassment building there are two fictional scenario's that sometimes cross my mind:

- i wouldn't be too surprised if Joran is found dead one day in some seedy hotel in Pattaya (http://www.pattayadailynews.com/index.php?p=news&CategoryID=008), Thailand.
it can easily blamed on suicide or some drugs/prostitute incident.
what is going to happen then? case closed?
because Joran helped to reignite the case many times with his stupid behaviour.

- what if The Netherlands forces Aruba to go fully independent, maybe by demanding Dutch judicial authority that Aruba won't accept. Aruba can be independent within at 6 months after a referendum.
in that case there is never going to be justice.
and the Dutch can say: good riddance - no our problem anymore.
but i doubt this is going to happen because of the geopolitical implications (Chávez, USA).

I think what we experienced tonight was a hijacking of sorts.
Friends of Kyle took over the board to offer soft, simple, mis
information to defend Kyle.  Maybe they are confused.
I think Kyle may be a little afraid of going to jail for the things
he has done, but why send women to defend him.  Why can't he
come himself?

Kyle is no friend to me.  I was only wanting to know if the family has been kept in the loop regarding the pictures and in a timely manner.  I told ldstlou that I believed what Jug has said, but had concerns about Kyle.  I do no ones bidding for them.

I understand Snoopy.Why defend someone who won't defend themselves so to speak.I keep saying i would love to be wrong but Kermit is giving us words!If there outta context he'll have to bring his emails and or posts over and we'll see everything..Kyle's got nothing to lose does he???Or does he??I for one don't know.I just wanna hear it from the horses mouth!

You ever play the game where the teachers line up around twenty kids in a chain-like line then tell the kid a story and let them tell it all the way down the chain.The story is completely different.I don't want to hear it from someone else.Kyle(OE)We're here to listen to what ya have to say transpired on,as well as off the Persistence after the search.Please change are minds.....

Snoopy,
I can't speak for anyone else but I think you did your best to get to the truth.  I think that's a good thing.  However, no one can ever speak for someone better than that person can speak for themself in my opinion.  That's my only problem with ldstlou's attempts tonight. 

If Kyle has nothing to hide, he should come here and speak for himself.

It's time for all the truth to come out, good or bad. 

It's all about Justice for Natalee, nothing else.

Absolutely and I told her to tell him that.

Is Dateline considered a news source?  And as such a member of our free press?  Both the LA Times and the NY Times have published blatantly classified information against the interest of national security and in spite of the protests of the entire intelligence community.

I just wonder how the FBI was able to force Dateline not to show what they had without violation of the Constitutional right of freedom of the press.  They can ask but they sure can't force a legit news source to do anything.

Ok, I've been reviewing the posts and it appears nothing has changed or been cleared up at all.

Kermit says the Jan. 7th footage was only recently turned over to the FBI and the family.

Regarding the same Jan. 7th footage, all ldstlou categorically stated was that she didn't know when it was turned over to the FBI and neither did Kyle, but now the FBI does have it and the family, Jug specifically, is aware of it.

This means Kermit was telling the truth and Kyle wasn't the one who turned over the footage and there's no reason to believe it was "turned over in a timely fashion by another member of the Persistence team" - that was the Dec. 30th footage.

Someone please set me straight if I've got it wrong.






Not much from what i understand!This was the worst Dog and pony show i've seen.People need to quit speaking for Kyle.He's grown.come discuss this where people will ask tough questions in order to get to the truth!He chose not to discuss this with Kermit.Why?????I'm standing with the FROG until Kyle can sway me any other way.Have a feeling that won't happen..Hope i'm wrong.Let's stay focused with what we know.Back to how things transpired on the Persistence,the chain of command,who was in charge on the Persistence,protocal,who chose when to dive and why,who was the chief contact on the persistence in regards to the Arubans,etc,etc,etc....

I called ldstlou for one reason and one reason only this evening.  I wanted to ask her a specific question.  And that was did Jug and the family know about the photos that Kermit posted here this past week in a timely manner.  She ask him and his reply was that yes they had known about them for some time.

I then told her that she needed to come back here and lay it out there.  She did.

I also voiced my concerns about some of the things Kyle was telling others but yet was contridicting himself on this forum.

I still ahve some reservations about Kyle.  It is possible that some the things we are being told has been taken out of text.

I have no reason to not believe Kermit.  He / she has made a compelling argument.

But I do know that the family has said that they have known about the pictures for some time.

This does not mean that someone is lieing blah blah blah.

Yes Kyle should come back here and explain himself, and I told lsdtlou to tell him that.

So I sure hope you weren't meaning I was involved in a dog and pony show.  I just want the freakin truth.

From what i gather frommbeing on here there's not to many people that don't think that it was a great possibilty that Natalee was in that cage.For no one on the Persistence to take samples of the contents of that cage is horrific in my opinion!

I believe with all my heart that she was in  that trap.

We must continue to hold people's feet to the FIRE.Kyle has nothing to be ashamed of if he did nothing wrong.We'll understand.The difficult part for me is he is highly educated.We wouldn't play him for dumb now would we.Naive.Maybe,but doubt it.You think in his gut and innerself he didn't know while he was on that boat,as well as on the shore somethin was terribly wrong???Why wait so long???

There's more we still don't know.  I don't think Kyle could go to jail for anything we've heard about so far.  He didn't turn over the footage, but even if he had it still proves nothing without the actual contents of the trap.  That's why I don't understand all the different attempts to discredit Kermit and defend Kyle. 

Why do they even care what we think?  It doesn't make sense to me.

The failure of Aruba to retrieve the actual cage gives CAPS the opportunity to undermine the significance of the contents of the cage.

CAPS fails to comprehend that the contents of the cage were deemed by ALE to be insignificant to the Natalee Holloway case prior to ever being retrieved.  The Aruban obvious were confident this could be easily accomplished if they had the cooperation of John Silvetti.

However ... ALE/John Silvetti had not anticipated Tim Miller observation and ... public acknowledgement of what appeared to be in the cage and ... ALE/John Silvetti had not anticipated the leaked ROV images.

Another thing , I went to dive a week a go to the same location, and the Cage is still there. If the cage was evidance in a murder case, why is it still in the water.

Another thing, from 2005 to 2008, we has gone through several mayor stroms that has pull sunken boat more heavy than the cage and in depth more than the cage to shore.

The cage has an Owner and is not Aruban  nor Venezuelan  and not Dutch. it is from a Colombian person and the use has it purpuse.

Other thing, I know the next move of the water Search team......

The man with fake diploma who did provide the cleaning is in a checkmate......perheps the end of the those higher ups is almost near.

Klye stated: " We're being fed misinformation to keep us searching and out of their way while they cover their asses, destroy evidence, cover their tracks, and keep us out at sea and away from the trap."

Kyle stated: "neither Dave, Robin, or Beth has seen any of the ROV footage aside from what was broadcasted on Dateline or the pictures leaked from the FBI to Dave (and Robin H.). Beth has seen nothing in my knowledge."

Kyle stated: "John is not a believer in the trap. He took ALE's word as gospel that it wasn't case related, yet never studied the videos or bothered to inquire further. He had plans on doing business with Aruba and in S. America and he didn't want to hurt any feelings by talks hinting at lack of complete trust and friendship."

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.

The only answer I have for that is that bones were not expected to be found in the ocean after all that time. Does that make sense? If they were bones, it would be the ultimate miracle. So chances are they were not bones. But the problem is, no one will ever know for sure if they were or not because the arubans went straight to their boat and left instead of boarding the Persistence like they were supposed to. But regardless, the material found could have proven one way or the other if it was Natalee. But arubans rushed off with it and then took 21 days to get the evidence to FBI to test. Why? I don't feel that this was done by the crew of the Persistence, but to the crew of the Persistence by the Arubans..just like they did with every other bit of evidence that has been found over the years.

"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.

ERROR in your information Idstlou

If they did not expect to find any bones why would they have a thumbs-up signal if he saw skeleton remains?

 have to get a firm statement on this. Here is what I do know. Hope this helps.
Members of Quantico were on the Persistence, they were there when the dive was done on the 30th and actually told a member of Dateline it was not Natalee and they could use the footage in the show. Members of the Persistence did not learn this until later and called Dateline and got them to NOT air the footage. The FBI told Dateline they could not air the full footage of the case because it was under investigation. Dateline had to take the additional footage out of their show, so I know they had the footage based on this info
http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=4216.620
 
According to Kyle that was the FBI they gave him permission
 
#732 on: March 18, 2008, 11:47:36 AM
 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.

Why would he send photos from the December 30 dive  to the FBI if they had been on board the boat?
 
#79 on: March 03, 2008, 01:47:47 PM
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.

Thanx Kermit.Who was the chief contact on the Persistence in regards to the Arubans if you know??

John Silvetti and Tim Tehran were the project leads.



Do you know Kermit what the protocal was regarding including Richardson or any ALE in any of the search team meetings.Was it required???Why was Richardson involved in meetings??

My position on this for the record:

I can say without hesitation that most of the names being tossed around today have justice for Natalee as their prime goal.  That includes Kermit, Hotshot, Capslock and 99% of the active posters at SM.  This is my personal opinion.  They may go about seeking justice in different ways but the goal is the same.

I do not know Kyle, John Silvetti or Louis Schaeffer and can't say the same about them, nor can I same the same about ALE.  That doesn't mean they aren't honest, just saying I woudn't vouch for someone I really know nothing about.

I will repeat this:  There is no such thing as a private forum!  They can try but information always finds a way out.

My position on this for the record:

I can say without hesitation that most of the names being tossed around today have justice for Natalee as their prime goal.  That includes Kermit, Hotshot, Capslock and 99% of the active posters at SM.  This is my personal opinion.  They may go about seeking justice in different ways but the goal is the same.

I do not know Kyle, John Silvetti or Louis Schaeffer and can't say the same about them, nor can I same the same about ALE.  That doesn't mean they aren't honest, just saying I woudn't vouch for someone I really know nothing about.

I will repeat this:  There is no such thing as a private forum!  They can try but information always finds a way out.


Amen

Hello everyone! I've been a board lurker for over a year now, and I've followed this case from the very beginning.  So many of you are SO intelligent, and I can't believe all the information you guys have been able to retrieve over the years. It's amazing that now, after all of these years, so many facts that we've all known all along are just starting to come out now. Absolutely unbelievable and ridiculous.
 
Anyway, the main reason I began following this story was because I had known Joran, not very well, but we met while I was on vacation in Aruba, October of 04. I was 16 at the time, he claimed to be 18. I had gone with my parents and 2 friends of mine (female friends). Nothing serious went on, we met him by the pool of our hotel (he was with 1 male friend the first time we met them) and after that he kept coming by the hotel for the remainder of our stay there and would hang out with us. The only thing he had really lied about was his age, the rest seemed to be pretty truthful (for example, he did tell us he lived in Aruba, he didn't lie about that). But even then, we did find something a little bit strange about him. We kept referring to him as the weird kid, because of the way he acted. He spent a lot of time talking about alcohol and pot (I live in NY, so for pot to be spoken about so openly was strange). He asked us quite a few times if we wanted to smoke with him, but we told him no, he seemed to respect that.
 
The day we were leaving, we exchanged screen names to "keep in touch." I was the only one out of my friends who kept in contact with him, but not too often. He was my online "poker buddy." Went on web cam a couple of times. After a while he started trying to talk dirty, but I shot that down real quick. The last time we spoke on the messenger before Natalee's disappearance was April 05.. So you'd imagine my surprise when in May, I heard he was a suspect in her disappearance. It definitely gave me the chills, knowing this was a person I hung out with only 7 months before. I couldn't believe at first that he was responsible, because like I said, besides his constant talk of drugs/alcohol, he wasn't really disrespectful to any of us. He knew we were all too young to go to the clubs/bars so he never really pressed that issue.. Like I said, the only thing he tried to do was get us to smoke pot with him, but we declined every time.
 
I was shocked to learn that he had lied to us about his age, what was the point? If he was 17 in May 05, that would mean he would of been the same age as us, so why lie? The more and more I heard about the story, the more and more I realized he was guilty. We spoke on messenger one more time after he was named a prime suspect. I had asked him why he lied about his age, he said he was trying to impress us and also that he could get in trouble for drinking underage so he had to lie to everyone he met about his age. I then had asked him if it was true, what he did. He made a strange comment about the truth coming out someday. At the time, I copied the entire conversation and sent it to Dave. I knew it really wouldn't of done much, but I figured that comment he made alone meant something. That was the last conversation I've ever had with Joran.
 
I feel for Natalee and her family and friends, because it really could of happened to anyone. The jerks who say that she shouldn't of gotten drunk, shouldn't of left the bar with a guy she didn't know, they are ridiculous. I believe Joran did meet Natalee days before Carlos & Charlies, and I believe he probably showed her the same kind of respect he showed me and my friends, and I believe he was as nice to her as he was to us. This probably made her trust him a little bit, especially when youre drunk you will trust anyone whose being nice to you.
 
Do I believe he had it in him to actually murder her? No.. Not from what I knew of him. Do I believe he put something in her drink and probably raped her? Absolutely.. They were probably smoking pot in Deepaks car also. I believe she died somehow while with him, he called Paulus for help, and the cover up began. As for Deepak and Satish? I'm not so sure.. I really don't believe they are involved all that much. I believe they knew what happened to her, and they should be punished for not coming forward with their information. But I don't believe they were there when she died. Just my opinion though.
 
Anyway, sorry for the long post, just wanted to share my story and experience with Joran Van Der Sloot.
 
Keep up the good investigative work, monkeys! =]

Ronnie - thank you for sharing your experiences.  My opinion of what most likely happened to Natalee is very much like yours.  It's late so I don't know how may will respond to you post but I wanted to make sure and thank you.

No need to thank me, just wanted to share =] I'll try not to lurk so much anymore, it's just hard to keep up. Everyone is so intelligent! lol.. But I do hope the accusations Rudy Croes made ends up panning out. The truth needs to finally be exposed! Greta is doing an excellent job of keeping this case alive, hopefully she won't give up on it anytime soon.

Thanks for sharing with us Ronnie, and most of all thank you for sharing the conversation you had with Joran right after Natalee's disappearance with Dave.  That was a very considerate thing for you to do, and I'm sure her family appreciated it very much.  I hope you'll come here often and share your thoughts with us.  We are only looking for the truth.  We want Justice for Natalee and her family, that's all. 
I'm glad you're here, welcome to Scared Monkeys!!!   ::MonkeyCool::

Ronnie...
Thanks for sharing, and I think many feel that the night of Natalee's disappearance started out with a small group of young men that were used to luring young females for pleasure, but something went wrong. After lurking on SM since early June 2005 and watching the circumstances play out as they have to date, I no longer believe it was a random act by young men. Joran is a sick product of aurba and  sick parents that enabled his behavior. Even as bad as joran behavior has been, it is clear to me that their is a deeper sickness in aruba society that has covered up for whatever transpired that night, and it disgusts me that human beings can be so immoral. Karma will get them all, but I pray that if nothing else happens in our lifetime, Natalee will be returned to her family.....

Billb, I agree. This is a sick world, and Joran, Paulus, the Aruban authorities all contribute to making it this way. The Aruban cover up makes absolutely no sense, I don't understand how people can be so heartless. They destroyed the integrity of their Island, and put their natives to shame. For what? To protect a 17 year old boy whose Father happened to be a judge and a good friend of the investigators involved? If this had happened in the US, no way this would of happened. There was recently a case here where a young girl left a club with a guy, she got murdered and her body was found in the woods. They caught the guy who did it within a week, he's currently in jail serving a life sentence. It's been 3 years, and Joran is still running free. The worst part is, he shows absolutely no remorse, no guilt.

I'm constantly reminding people that I know of Natalee Holloway, saying it could happen to anyone. I don't do much partying, but when I do every once in awhile, I'm always aware of whats going on around me, because of her. I carry her tragedy with me all the time. I always keep a close watch on my friends when I see they are just a little bit too drunk, talking to some strange guy they just met who decides to buy them drinks. This case has helped me realize that in this world, you can't trust anyone you don't really know, no matter how nice they may seem. I really really hope and pray that someday, Natalee will get the justice that she deserves.

Thank you everyone, for a warm welcome! Goodnight

Please do not start on Caps.  Klaas has repeatedly said she believe he's on the up and up and I do not want him to be dragged into this.  Jossy has given the witness from the pond's name on national television so this person is not a figment of Caps imagination.  Caps has done a lot of good and brought us lots of information.  I don't always agree with his assessment of Shango, but he has never told me something concerning that pond that has not proven true.  If you disregard what Caps has said about the pond witness you also are calling Tim a liar since he was the person that made arrangements for the witness to take a polygraph here in the United States.  To bring Caps in this as another one of the conspiracy bunch is not fair to him.  Klaas and Red are well aware of his identity. 

 ::MonkeyShocked::



Yes, she has...read her posts.  Klaas has said she believes him to be a good person.  She knows all there is to know about Caps.  I am so sick of what is happening to some of the good people that have done nice things for the family.  It's become more than I can stand to sit by and watch this happen.  Caps is well known by Dave too, so before we jump onto him everyone should take a step back and think if that is what you really want to do.  I know Caps name and I know what he's all about and it's not about hiding anything.  I can assure you that Mos was not happy about this new witness...the one Caps brought to him...it upset his apple cart and when Tim made arrangements for the witness to come to Texas that too got under Mos skin.  Tim told this story on Dana one night so don't anyone think I am making this up...I am not.  Jossy told his name on Greta last week...so he's a real breathing person.  I just think bashing Caps because he appears to be part of some conspiracy to cover up is beyond the pale.  I am done with this, but I wanted to stand up for Caps because there have been times I should have taken up for others that have left here and I didn'tI won't leave this time without having my say about Caps.  He is one of the good guys here.   Attack me if you want, but leave Caps alone in this...he was not involved in any of the Persistence stuff.

Like I said yesterday there are a lot of people here that say trust me.  People have questions and concerns and have the right to question others.  There are plenty of people who have done a lot for Natalee's family.  You are putting CAPS on a pedestal because YOU believe in him.  We all have our own thoughts and feelings about this and because someone questions him you come out and feel it is not allowed.

Kermit was attacked yesterday and she came on and went toe to toe with the individuals questioning her actions.  I expect the same from CAPS.

I don't care who CAPS is because it is none of my business.  To me he is just another poster on SM.

Lala's whom might the others be that left here and you are defending.  Was it because they were being attacked?

We can question one poster but not another.

The only thing I disagree with is when a poster comes on here bashing Natalee's family.  We are all on the same side and it will not be tolerated.

You are right.  No one was allowed to question them without someone jumping down someone's throat.  At that time I didn't post as much and just sat and watched.

I no longer sit and watch and I have a voice.  If something don't sound right we have the right to ask questions.

Kermit I asked this:

who are experts

would you prefer not to answer?

Sorry johann I was trying my best to answer the other questions from way back and still can't get to them.
BUT to answer YOUR question, at this time, the FBI does have the information as well as Beth and Dave and John Q. Kelly.


Kermit....forgive me, I'm a little dense.
I think the question is: who are the experts that believe the remains are those of Natalee?
It's is good to hear Beth, Dave and JQK know of the info (pics).
Thanks.....

Kermit is saying that the FBI is the experts that believe Natalee was in the cage.

In my view, anyone can his/her own research.
I do also
Kermit can & Caps also
But Kermit said: Kyle said Caps is (one step Away .... ) with other words he is dirty hand
That is also a kind of a attack and she create an atmosphere
Why is Kermit speaking for Kyle ?
Is Kyle said important things on a private forum and you want to tell what >post the screenshots  here !
Kermit and Caps go on with your research ,Peter does that also  ::MonkeyWink::

Is Dateline considered a news source?  And as such a member of our free press?  Both the LA Times and the NY Times have published blatantly classified information against the interest of national security and in spite of the protests of the entire intelligence community.

I just wonder how the FBI was able to force Dateline not to show what they had without violation of the Constitutional right of freedom of the press.  They can ask but they sure can't force a legit news source to do anything.

That's a great observation!What news source wouldn't have shown that footage if they had it??

They had a contract. In the contract it said if anything was found of evidential value, they could not show the footage.

I think what we experienced tonight was a hijacking of sorts.
Friends of Kyle took over the board to offer soft, simple, mis
information to defend Kyle.  Maybe they are confused.
I think Kyle may be a little afraid of going to jail for the things
he has done
, but why send women to defend him.  Why can't he
come himself?

There's more we still don't know.  I don't think Kyle could go to jail for anything we've heard about so far.  He didn't turn over the footage, but even if he had it still proves nothing without the actual contents of the trap.  That's why I don't understand all the different attempts to discredit Kermit and defend Kyle. 

Why do they even care what we think?  It doesn't make sense to me.



I don't know who "they" are but I did it for myself. I still beleive what kermit is doing is wrong and so I could look myself in the mirror, I had to say it.
Simple as that.

Good Morning!

Well…I am not sure what to make of all this, so have just sat back and read. Saw things turn pretty ugly yesterday.
 
Posters are questioning other posters…I have done that…Actually Lala’s and I were the first to question what Caps was bringing to the board.

And I questioned his being here first, sorry Janet. Got jumped on pretty good, IIRC, even though I never ever said his intentions were not good. For now I have chosen to leave it all alone.

Keep reading context and backing up posts…Hmmmm…did everyone go back to all those posts of November 13th. and look for the context? Not just the one post quoted, but the post in context? I checked out a few, recalled many more from the long hours those days in Shango.
 
Not trying to pick on any of the players in this drama, just making an observation. I have a lot of respect for all these poster’s opinions from many hours of reading before I joined SM and have spent months reading the archives.
 
Thought I spent some time on Friday night finding Kyle’s posts about the “Thumbs Down”, and posted them, as I recalled what I had read in context. Then again it up to each poster to believe what they want from another poster’s post. If one chooses to not believe Kyle’s explanation fine, but it just seems to me that nobody even read what I posted he said. Or not one person acknowledged they did…Think I spent about half an hour looking for that.

Back to where I was on November 13th before this all started, by my logic, it must have been important!

Have a great day everyone!

What's the explanation for the sudden departure of the ship AFTER requesting funds to continue a search?  Why-when so many heeded that call for funds by sending in the donations-did they just up and leave without giving it a chance to collect the needed funds?  What were the funds for IF they thought they had been "had" by the Aruban OE back in Jan.07?

I never asked these questions so I really can't answer...it would just be a guess and I don't want to do that.

Is it possible that you could find out?

I'm going by memory here and my memory is pretty lousy but I think I remember something about a hurricane or tropical storm coming to the area and they were trying to avoid it.  Or was that on the way down there?????

Meanwhile, Beth and Dave suffer and Natalee remains dead for another Christmas. And all this energy is wasted.

At a moment when we are starting, long over-due, to look at the first 48 hours and a direct  accusation of what we've known all along, you're focusing of underwater pictures?

Skipping past the van der straaten involvement, the van der sloot house, and the actual crimes committed against Natalee in her last moments?

And by Paulus van der sloot when she was alive.

How can anyone picture Natalee's face right now and waste time making this about anything other than bringing her home?

Confrontation can be a great moment in the creative process but this ain't it.

Thanks, Frank.

I'm spending my energy writing to the members of the Dutch parliament, asking that they initiate an investigation of the corruption in the Aruban government, resulting in the violation of Natalee Holloway's human rights. 

Information provided by Caesu snipped from post on page five of this thread:

so through article 43 is the only option for Aruba

that's why i keep repeating that it is important to contact the Dutch members of Parliament.
and the coming week is crucial with debates on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - leading op to the Round Table Conference between the three Prime-Ministers with Balkenende presiding in Curaçao on December 15th.


list of members of Parliament of the Aruban/Antilles committee:
http://www.tweedekamer.nl/kamerleden/commissies/NAAZ/index.jsp#0
names on top of the list are the highest ranking members.
(e-mail will appear if you click on a name and "Naar persoonlijke pagina").


As soon as I figure out the etiquette for writing to a member of the Dutch Parliament, I am writing them all.
Wanna help me? ::MonkeyWink::



We do really need to keep the pressure on for the next couple of weeks as this is our best chance at bringing the Rudy Croes declaration to the attention of those who can actually do something about it.

And I believe the Internal Affairs Division of the Dutch police is called the Rijksrecherche.

I'd like to hear your hillbilly butt pronounce that!!!!!

Like I said yesterday there are a lot of people here that say trust me.  People have questions and concerns and have the right to question others.  There are plenty of people who have done a lot for Natalee's family.  You are putting CAPS on a pedestal because YOU believe in him.  We all have our own thoughts and feelings about this and because someone questions him you come out and feel it is not allowed.

Kermit was attacked yesterday and she came on and went toe to toe with the individuals questioning her actions.  I expect the same from CAPS.

I don't care who CAPS is because it is none of my business.  To me he is just another poster on SM.

Lala's whom might the others be that left here and you are defending.  Was it because they were being attacked?

We can question one poster but not another.

The only thing I disagree with is when a poster comes on here bashing Natalee's family.  We are all on the same side and it will not be tolerated.

Good post  ::MonkeyWink::

From Kyle: march 18, 2008: If you want, you can get Red from SM off my back. I really don't like that guy. He thinks he knows what's going on but doesn't have a clue. I first saw the pics on the SM home page and fired off an email to Red believing that he would be understanding and help provide answers. I quickly found out what happened on my own and dealt with it. I could not believe his response.

Kyle said: "Notice the end of the skirt is an identical match to the 90 degree angle in the sand.
- I believe her left arm was outstretched with her legs slightly bent. I did not edit the legs.
- I believe the tarp was placed over her and tucked around her, or perhaps tied down. I believe there are several rocks laying on the sand which were placed on the tarp, or inside the tarp over her body which explains their unusual location.
- Either way, the proportions appear promising.

Kyle said: “- I took the proportions of the body form from the head, to shoulder, to a 90 degree angle which I believed to be the hem line of Natalee's skirt. I then took those proportions and matched them to the photo of Natalee with what she was last seen wearing. The proportions matched within an inch from head, to shoulder, to skirt line.

Based on this comparison and with what we believed we saw in the Dec 29th video, Tim Miller contacted the family and told them the 99.9% comment. I told Tim not to do anything until we have forensic results back after the site is processed.

Jan 7th we sampled the contents and in my opinion we found the skirt under the sand along with the other items

The blue fabric was found right where the skirt is pictured. If it isn't her, it will forever haunt me as a major cosmic WTF.”

Rudy Croes Obstructed Justice: Minister Croes of Justice Finally Admits Natalee Holloway Case Messed Up by Nepotism, Blames van der Straten

Define irony? The Justice Minister of Aruba Rudy Croes obstructing justice in the case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Croes claims that Jan van der Straten intentionally messed up the case due to nepotism, yet Rudy Croes never came forward with this information until now. Beth and Dave Holloway would have been interested in Croes’ latest comment in June 2005.


Red ... my sense of logic is that Aruba's agenda is to bring the Natalee Holloway case to a close.  Jan vander Straaten will be Aruba's sacrificial lamb whose obstruction in the first ten days implies crucial evidence was destroyed and ... a just investigation is now impossible.  In other words ... "Case Closed!"

If implication does not start and end for Jan van der Straaten ... the domino effect will be so far reaching ... Chevez can just claim Aruba as another one of his conquests as he strives to take over the Carribean.

Red ... I contend that "throwing Jan van Straaten under the bus" is a well thought out Aruban plan to bring closure to the Natalee Holloway case and ... Jan van Straaten has been provided with either threats or incentives to cooperate.  In other words ... Straaten has agreed to be the sacrificial lamb.  He has agreed to take the slap on the wrist as a consequence for obstructing the investigation in the first ten days and ... allowing all crucial evidence required to bring the suspects to justice to be destroyed.

Otherwise ... there would be a domino affect that would be very far reaching in regards to all who were involved in the happenings of the morning of May 30, 2005 ... all who where  involved in the events that led up to the happenings  of the morning of May 30, 200t and ... all those within the Dutch/Aruba administration who are involved in the coverup that has denied Natalee Holloway justice and ... put her family through a H--- on Earth for 3 1/2 years.

To make this case go away ... Rudy Croes may concede to a botched investigation caused by one of Aruba's own but ... he is not about to flush Aruba down the toilet.

Pita ... I was under the impression that Lou was speaking about ... the forum that Kyle was invited to ... is a private forum that was just formed recently.  Then again I could be wrong.  Story of my life.

Janet


That was my impression as well, Janet. 

My post was meant as a lighthearted reference back to all the contradictory statements given in defense of Kyle and attacking Kermit. 

That there were contradictory statements is my opinion.  I don't much care if anyone agrees with me or not. 

I have no idea what anyone's intentions are unless I know them personally, and even then people have surprised me.  I do believe that most everyone that posts here truly wants justice for Natalee. 

I also believe that human beings can be vulnerable to a certain personality/character quirk similar to 'delusions of grandeur' that may make them feel they are more important than others or have intelligence and abilities that others couldn't possibly grasp.

I apologize if my post hurt anyone's feelings.  As I'm not part of any 'we know more than you do' crowd, anyone I've offended should probably just assume I'm speaking from pure ignorance and am not very bright myself.  I can live with that.

Also, I'm familiar with the Freebirds work.  I didn't know they claimed it as original, I always thought it was obvious they were compiling information for distribution.  As far as I know they are caring people who want justice for Natalee.  If that is the 'private forum' group that Kyle was invited to and that we've been discussing, then I find that disappointing.

Janet,

I don't know why but the words Aruba and "well thought out" just don't seem to go together. How can someone be accused of destroying evidence without revealing what that evidence is?

Aruba will have to reveal how they know Natalee died. If you were van der straaten why in this legal environment (Aruba) would you need to be a scapegoat?

I mean hasn't he done enough for Paulus already?

I suspect that it will be determined that Jan van der Straaten "incompetence" in the first ten days had the "potential" of allowing all evidence that could have implicated Joran and Paulus  to be destroyed.  In other words the investigation was irreparably compromised.

1.  vehicles not confiscated
2.  residence not search
3.  Joran and Kalpoes not aprehended

From a legal perspective Jan van der Straaten pleads "not guilty" to a conflict of interest in regards to his friendship with Paulus van der Sloot but ... will concedes that he did botched the investigation within the first ten day ... made the wrong decisions.  The judge will rule in his favor and ... he will walk.

Aruba will attempt to pacify Natalee's familly by apologizing for the incompentence of one of their own who prevented justice from prevailing and ... will assure the family that Jan van der Straaten will never again work in law enforcement again.

Jan van der Straaten with a fatten bank account fades from the Aruban scene.

Case Closed!

Frank think about it.  Wrong decisions are made every day by LE in the United States and Canada that compromise investigations.  Heads may roll but ... there are no legal consequences.

'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' for Dec. 5th
updated 6:18 a.m. PT, Tues., Dec. 6, 2005


TWITTY: ... Remember, within the first 24 hours, we knew who the suspects were. We knew the persons that Natalee were taken from Carlos and Charlie‘s. We knew the license plate of the gray Honda they placed her in. We knew the condition that Natalee was in. We knew the behavior or the conduct in which they engaged in with Natalee.

And then not only that, Jane, within 72 hours, we knew that their first story was totally fabricated, that within the first 72 hours, I faced a room of 12 -- at least 12 detectives, Aruban and Dutch detectives, and a lead detective, Dennis Jacobs (ph), and they knew after we reviewed video footage from the Holiday Inn casino lobby that my daughter had never been brought back to the Holiday Inn. They knew that those suspects were fabricating a story from day one.

<snipped>

TWITTY: Well, Jane, something that the family knew—and we have to keep reminding everyone—after 72 hours -- 72 hours—we knew definitively that these suspects were not telling the truth. We knew that my daughter had never been brought back to the Holiday Inn. Of course we were becoming frustrated. Who wouldn‘t, at this point? You know, we—and what was so unbelievable about this, is they knew this information and still chose to pursue the two security guards on June the 5th.

And what to do about others who come forward? Both Rudy Croes and Nelson Oduber have said mistakes were made.

I want to know how he gets around arresting 2 innocent security guards? How does Jan answer that and what evidence he "saw" to pull them in for murder?

I'd be happy with him just answering that question, and how did Janssen bring the charges against the guards.

Kermit I asked this:

who are experts

would you prefer not to answer?

Sorry johann I was trying my best to answer the other questions from way back and still can't get to them.
BUT to answer YOUR question, at this time, the FBI does have the information as well as Beth and Dave and John Q. Kelly.


Kermit....forgive me, I'm a little dense.
I think the question is: who are the experts that believe the remains are those of Natalee?
It's is good to hear Beth, Dave and JQK know of the info (pics).
Thanks.....

Kermit is saying that the FBI is the experts that believe Natalee was in the cage.

Did Kermit actually write anywhere "that the FBI is the experts that believe Natalee was in the cage." or something that concise?

How would anyone, including Kermit, know that the FBI received any remains or other materials "evidence"?   

How would anyone know if they were tested and the FBI concluded/confirmed it was Natalee?  Did the FBI publish, distribute, or in any other way promote the results?  Can anyone get a copy?

Maybe the FBI, Beth, Dave, Jug, or others shared the results with Kermit?  Aruba?  Julia Renfro?  RG?  Joran's many lawyers and his family?

Maybe they shared the news that none of Natalee's remains were in that cage?  If not Natalee, who or what was in there?


Why haven't Natalee's Freebirds weighed in on the cage, the evidence, and cover-up as discussed here in the cage?  They usually keep on top of these things.

Caribbean braces for worst tourism since 9/11

The global economic crisis is bringing storm clouds to the islands known for sun and fun. Even the luxe Atlantis resort in the Bahamas has laid off workers.

BY JOSEPH A. MANN JR. AND JACQUELINE CHARLES
ma9jose@aol.com

Caribbean business leaders and government officials are bracing for what many expect to be the biggest downturn in tourism since the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.

Meeting last week at the 32nd annual Miami Conference on the Caribbean and Central America, participants discussed a range of strategies to prop up regional tourism, including directing new marketing campaigns away from the United States toward countries such as Brazil, Mexico, China and India; focusing on people of color -- a growing segment of the U.S. market; and simplifying visa requirements and expediting entry and exit at airports.

The US is broke.  Follow the money.

WINNERS, LOSERS

According to his estimates, the Dominican Republic will win while places such as the Bahamas, Cancun, Turks and Caicos and, to a lesser extent, Jamaica will lose visitors. Aruba and the U.S. Virgin Islands also risk losing significant numbers of U.S. tourists to Cuba.

Cuba needs about 10,000 more hotel rooms, Romeu said. It currently has about 50,000 rooms.

I remember a long time ago, early in the case, on other forums, discussing the roles and responsibilities of Dutch/Aruban judges/prosecutors/law enforcement as compared to their American counterparts judges/juries/prosecutors/law enforcement.

I concluded that the Dutch/Aruban judge rubber stamped the work of the investigators and prosecutors.  The Dutch/Aruban system would never charge an innocent person or take them before the judge for sentencing.  The judge is the check/balance to the work already done by the prosecutors/investigators.  The judge rubber stamps the conclusions/proof of the investigators.  The prosecutors place charges. 

The role of the Dutch/Aruban prosecutor/investigator was more like the American trial, either with judge/jury.  In this stage, the evidence is mulled over, considered, weighed, and guilt or non-guilt determined (or something like that).  If non-guilt, or questionable guilt, no charges.  If charged, must be 100% guilty, no shadows, no doubts.

I also remember finding some things on the internet describing the role of Dutch judges.  It seemed to me at the time that the judge had an active part in the investigation.  Judges determine the direction the investigators and law enforcement take.  Judges make the decisions - Can we investigate this person?  Can we pull phone records?  Can we take any a step outside the box?

Remember the search warrents Dompig wanted for the VDS compound?  IIRC, one judge with the evidence before him determined that yes the whole place may be searched.  The judge on site, determined that no the whole place may not be searched.

Review many years later determined that the whole place should have been searched.  Why not on day one or two after she was missing?

Who directed the arrest of the two security guards?  The search of their home?  On what evidence?

I think many of the problems roll up to the judiciary - one person or another.  I think the judiciary includes the ministers of tourism, justice, and other officials on the office. 

I recall Jan VDS retiring and the confused discussions.  Perhaps he was not willing 100% to go along with tourism?

just my humble opinions.

There was a disagreement a few days ago about the fact that the family had seen the photographs and dismissed them as not being NH. Simple logic came to me, regarding clarification...

If the family has not seen these "additional secret" photographs, which SM posters feel are remains (possibly NH)...Someone, with connections to the family, should make sure that they have the chance to view them. Then, let us ask the family if, after viewing the "additional secret" photographs, they feel that they could be relevant to the recovery of NH, and or possibly her remains.

We could then determine if the family is choosing not acknowledge the relevance of the photos(for unknown specified reasons), whether they have even seen the aforementioned photos, or some posters (who claim to be friends of the family) are trying to steer us away.

An obvious conclusion can be drawn:
Kermit not on boat. Kermit knows of remains. Conclusion=Someone else knows. Who??

If I were to sum it up, the Aruban justice system is a top-down model.  Things roll down from judges--investigations, evidence, etc.  Who do judges report to?  

The American system is a bottom-up model.  Complaints, investigators, evidence, prosecutors, charges, hearings/trials, etc.  Who do all of these people report to?

Can I get a transcript of these hearings?  Can I go and watch?  Open court?  Public access to files?

KELLY: I think incompetent would almost be kind. There are sinister things going on. They have just, you know, avoided too much, and they make every effort to disprove anything that inculpatory(ph) in this whole matter here.

And people talk about the timing of the tape, that it came out in November. But if you released the day after you had it, what would they have done differently that they are not doing now? It's total inaction.

VAN SUSTEREN: Can I tell you? We have been the only people investigating this. To turn that tape over when we got it to the Aruban police, we would be insane. These people have done nothing to investigate it.

It would be absolutely insane to turn it over to people that I think have been incompetent at best at investigation. That is the first thing.

The second thing is that if people only knew the behind-the-scenes efforts we have been doing to corroborate it. People can have all sorts of imagination that they want, but I can tell you and anyone will listen, is that we have this information. We are willing to turn it over to the Aruban prosecutor.

He does not want to see it. They do not want to solve this or make any attempt to either prove this or disproved this.

I would have to go with the following -

After Tim's comment about the skull, I think the family will have made the effort to look at as much information as possible--leaving no store or skull unturned.  This is a family that has searched through a garbage mountain on Aruba, in drug houses, and other seedy places for their daughter or her remains.  They have continued their search, and helped many others along the way.

I just don't see them failing to follow up on the video, other photo evidence, or any remains.   I think GVS would be more than happy with any ratings that would come from another cover-up on Aruba.  I would imagine that Greta's door / cell line is always open to the family.

What comes to mind is that perhaps there are some that know somethings, but are hindered from speaking and clearing the air at this point in time.  I have no idea what those 'things' might be.

I believe it's Aruba's next move.  The finger is still pointing in their direction.   :twisted:

texasmom, magnolia, keepthefaith, tamoksmom, san,
Just a few lines to let you know I have know Ill feelings towards you.
I don't know why you are on the attack for me, but i am sure you have your reasons, and thats fine.
Lets start with I feel it was remains in the trap, and I too feel it was taken right out from under the boat.  Who ever was in charge it was definitely not kyle.  He had one job, and one job only, that was to find targets, and watch the screen.  I was not asked to come and defend him, actually I asked him If I could.  He "WILL NOT" come back here as for he sees what some of you are doing to older monkeys, he doesn't need that in his life.  And he is smart in not doing so.  There is no reason to dissect some of what you are all talking about it is what it is and its as simple as that.  Who was in charge of the boat?  I don't know, I would say the owner.  Who should have been in charge?  Tim Miller!  Would I have taken samples and brought them home?  YES!  Did they?  I don't think they did but I do think some wanted to, and maybe that is why Tim was named a liability IMO.  You have to remember they were in the Aruban waters, and had they done anything against the Arubans, they'd be sitting in jail just like Matthews.  Do we really want to see that happen?  Theres lots to think about, it's not just cut and dry here.  Do I feel the trip over there with them was a loss?  Yes  Why?  Aruba socked us again!  I am just hoping and praying that something there is left in that black hole to use as evidence somewhere down the line.  Do I think there will ever be a conviction? Only if Interpol, and such gets involved, and the BIGWIGS get taken down. 

As for Meetings on the boat, of course Richardson, and Mos were going to be there.  They are supposed to be the highest people in the ALE, why wouldn't they be there?  not that we like them, but it is their waters, their Island, and they have every right to be there.  Of course it was all a cover-up, WE have known this from close to day one, once they said a son of a judge we knew.  It shouldn't come to be a surprise just because it is all coming out in the open.  Yes we were right all along, Yeah for us. 

We did not come on here to derail anything with CAPS.  CAPS is part of an undercover part in Aruba who is really doing his job.  If you have read the Aruban papers, and listened to tes getting polys on some people from Aruba, you would know that he is for real and he is possibly the one who is taking all these big people down.  And you ask why can't we say who he is?  Do you wish for him to become another "pitbull"?  There have been deaths due to the Holloway case we all know this, and he has also proved it and even Rudy Croes has said it.  CAPS was actually working before the Persistence came about, he just wasn't HERE.  You actually think I like hiding who he is?  I wish I could tell the whole world, but right now we can't.  Klaas, and a few others know he is real.  When things are done, and heads have rolled, he will tell you himself.  Until then, it's not about who or what is known, its about someone actually doing the job.  Natalees job.

As far as Private Forums go, I do not belong to one either.....And as for feeling alone, I do.  I feel it here, and in the other forums that I had been in the past.  I still go to my fullest extent to get things investigated, because it is not about the forum, it is about Nat, and her parents.  I feel blessed to have met, and work with a total of 3 people here who know how to keep things to themselves.  Kermit, you may mean well, but the way things came about were IMO only in favor of you.  You have people believing "not the full story", and thats not a good thing.  It's kind of like the Bible, you can read a line and take it several different ways, and I think you are doing that here.  Silvetti does not support that there was a body in that trap.  Do i agree?  NO.  But you know what, it is done.  We can't go back.  It doesn't mean there was a cover-up with the Persistence, it means poor judgement was done.  Silvetti went over there NOT knowing full details of this case.  Had it been one of us in his place, you bet things would have been done differently.  We have to move on here, it's over.  I am sure Tim is not thrilled with what happened either, he waited 2+ years to get there and do the search.  For him to be called a liability in my book is so wrong.  The trap is still there, and I am sure there is other parts of what was in it spread about.  Instead of talking about it, why doesn't someone go there, and dig for themselves?  We all can talk a good talk, but how about walking the walk?  A few of us have.  Rob, Red, BB, have gone and a few more come to mind.  Thats a small amount compared to what is in this group.  Sure, we can all send money to the cause, but that wont get Tim there again.  He's been there a gazillion times, they need new faces there that the ALE is not going to recognise. 

BTW with Kyle stating this comment       Kermit said: Kyle said Caps is (one step Away) from dirty hands.....that meant he was one step away from zeroing in on Dirty hands.  It's not the same person we see as Dirty Hands, but it is one of them.  once again, taken out of context.  P.S. Kermit was NOT on the boat.

Is Dateline considered a news source?  And as such a member of our free press?  Both the LA Times and the NY Times have published blatantly classified information against the interest of national security and in spite of the protests of the entire intelligence community.

I just wonder how the FBI was able to force Dateline not to show what they had without violation of the Constitutional right of freedom of the press.  They can ask but they sure can't force a legit news source to do anything.

That's a great observation!What news source wouldn't have shown that footage if they had it??


They had a contract. In the contract it said if anything was found of evidential value, they could not show the footage.


Sorry, I am way behind as usual, but I am wondering  who did Dateline have the contract with that they could not sow the footage of evidential value?  Or are you suggesting they had it with the Persistence crew?  FBI? ALE?  ::MonkeyConfused:: ::MonkeyConfused::

My position on this for the record:

I can say without hesitation that most of the names being tossed around today have justice for Natalee as their prime goal.  That includes Kermit, Hotshot, Capslock and 99% of the active posters at SM.  This is my personal opinion.  They may go about seeking justice in different ways but the goal is the same.

I do not know Kyle, John Silvetti or Louis Schaeffer and can't say the same about them, nor can I same the same about ALE.  That doesn't mean they aren't honest, just saying I woudn't vouch for someone I really know nothing about.

I will repeat this:  There is no such thing as a private forum!  They can try but information always finds a way out.

Is Dateline considered a news source?  And as such a member of our free press?  Both the LA Times and the NY Times have published blatantly classified information against the interest of national security and in spite of the protests of the entire intelligence community.

I just wonder how the FBI was able to force Dateline not to show what they had without violation of the Constitutional right of freedom of the press.  They can ask but they sure can't force a legit news source to do anything.

That's a great observation!What news source wouldn't have shown that footage if they had it??


They had a contract. In the contract it said if anything was found of evidential value, they could not show the footage.


Sorry, I am way behind as usual, but I am wondering  who did Dateline have the contract with that they could not sow the footage of evidential value?  Or are you suggesting they had it with the Persistence crew?  FBI? ALE?  ::MonkeyConfused:: ::MonkeyConfused::

I remember Kyle saying that Dateline NBC showed more than they
should have in "their lovely special".  So why was Klye trying to sell
the photos or footage that showed the denim to other networks?

Yep, I'm doing it too.  Thanks to Caesu for the great info on the Dutch political landscape and how an internal investigation of corruption can be initiated.

If you are interested, see Caesu's post on page five of this thread.

It's important for the Dutch Parliament to know we are paying attention to this.  Greta asks the question all the time:  Where is Holland in all this?  Why don't they do something?  Maybe someone should share this information with Greta.

In my mind, Natalee's remains and justice for Natalee are related but different. 

Who covered up crimes against Natalee?  Who buried her remains?  How many times?

Who may have put  her in that cage?  When?  Who may have cleaned up any evidence of her remains?  When?  Why?

What else did Jan VDS help with?  Perhaps he and others helped hide the body for weeks?  Months? 

Under Dutch/Aruban law, one witness may be no witness, but who are the other witnesses to crimes against Natalee Holloway?

Is it possible to charge J2K and others with testimony from Jan VDS?  Maybe Jan VDS could answer some questions about how he did his job?  Who he involved in all of this?

Who else did Jan VDS talk to?  Visit in those days after Natalee disappeared?

For the record, isn't it possible that Kyle was speaking from his personal current knowledge in December 2007 through March 2008?  Perhaps there are things that have transpired since then that would cause him to answer some questions in a different fashion today? 

I don't think Kyle or anyone was selling the pictures to Aruba.  Why didn't any network or media outlet show them?  Make some money on all those images? 

Are the images a second witness to what happened to Natalee Holloway?  If they are, what is Aruba waiting for? 

Why didn't Aruba take a lead in the investigation?  Why do they wait for revelations to come from the FOX network?

What about the Dutch that train and appoint all these judges & prosecutors?

Frank I promise I'll send my letters just as soon as I get back home. 
I'm afraid I am about to be faced with a very sad situation.  We have this old wonderful loving sweet dog name Snoopy.  Snoopy the past several months has slowing started losing his faculties.  And now he is very sick.  Hy hubby who loves this precious old dog so much rushed Snoopy to the vet this morning and the vet said there is no more he can do for Snoopy.  So hubby is desperate to take him to a specialist this afternoon in St. Louis.  I know what's coming, but I don't have the heart to tell hubby.  So a little prayer would be much appreciated.  I know he's just a dog, but we love him so much.  He's a part of our family.

Ronnie...Welcome!

Do you recall the friend's name that was with Joran when you first met him?

Thank You in Advance!

The friend's name was Dary (Not Daury, when the video with Patrick was released and Joran mentioned the name Daury, I thought about it.. but the two names are pronouced totally different).. I believe they had told us Dary was 15, he looked younger than Joran. We only met Dary that first initial day, he didn't come around anymore after that. Didn't get a last name, I wish I had but we didn't even know Joran's last name until we exchanged email addresses (Jorans last name was part of the email address he used back then)..

The finger is still pointing at Aruba.  The points to the guilty in this case, as well as the innocent citizen.

What if someone took Natalee home?  What if they returned her to her family and provided a little evidence along the way to the FBI?  What if something was left for Aruban justice?

I always felt they should just take Natalee home if they found her.  Others insisted that there needs to be justice too.  I just didn't feel then (and not now) that there would ever be justice for Natalee, even if there were remains, videos, and "If/how I did it" books published.

The finger is still pointing at Aruba and the guilty.  Someone has to know what went down on that island, and they still do. 

Who was in charge of all the evidence?  Who are they related to?  What does the evidence record show? 

Tape recordings of interrogations?  Where are they?  Bones?  Belt?  Police cars?

What happened to all that stuff, and who was in charge of it over the years?

Just my humble opinions.

texasmom, magnolia, keepthefaith, tamoksmom, san,
Just a few lines to let you know I have know Ill feelings towards you.
I don't know why you are on the attack for me, but i am sure you have your reasons, and thats fine.
Lets start with I feel it was remains in the trap, and I too feel it was taken right out from under the boat.  Who ever was in charge it was definitely not kyle.  He had one job, and one job only, that was to find targets, and watch the screen.  I was not asked to come and defend him, actually I asked him If I could.  He "WILL NOT" come back here as for he sees what some of you are doing to older monkeys, he doesn't need that in his life.  And he is smart in not doing so.  There is no reason to dissect some of what you are all talking about it is what it is and its as simple as that.  Who was in charge of the boat?  I don't know, I would say the owner.  Who should have been in charge?  Tim Miller!  Would I have taken samples and brought them home?  YES!  Did they?  I don't think they did but I do think some wanted to, and maybe that is why Tim was named a liability IMO.  You have to remember they were in the Aruban waters, and had they done anything against the Arubans, they'd be sitting in jail just like Matthews.  Do we really want to see that happen?  Theres lots to think about, it's not just cut and dry here.  Do I feel the trip over there with them was a loss?  Yes  Why?  Aruba socked us again!  I am just hoping and praying that something there is left in that black hole to use as evidence somewhere down the line.  Do I think there will ever be a conviction? Only if Interpol, and such gets involved, and the BIGWIGS get taken down. 

As for Meetings on the boat, of course Richardson, and Mos were going to be there.  They are supposed to be the highest people in the ALE, why wouldn't they be there?  not that we like them, but it is their waters, their Island, and they have every right to be there.  Of course it was all a cover-up, WE have known this from close to day one, once they said a son of a judge we knew.  It shouldn't come to be a surprise just because it is all coming out in the open.  Yes we were right all along, Yeah for us. 

We did not come on here to derail anything with CAPS.  CAPS is part of an undercover part in Aruba who is really doing his job.  If you have read the Aruban papers, and listened to tes getting polys on some people from Aruba, you would know that he is for real and he is possibly the one who is taking all these big people down.  And you ask why can't we say who he is?  Do you wish for him to become another "pitbull"?  There have been deaths due to the Holloway case we all know this, and he has also proved it and even Rudy Croes has said it.  CAPS was actually working before the Persistence came about, he just wasn't HERE.  You actually think I like hiding who he is?  I wish I could tell the whole world, but right now we can't.  Klaas, and a few others know he is real.  When things are done, and heads have rolled, he will tell you himself.  Until then, it's not about who or what is known, its about someone actually doing the job.  Natalees job.

As far as Private Forums go, I do not belong to one either.....And as for feeling alone, I do.  I feel it here, and in the other forums that I had been in the past.  I still go to my fullest extent to get things investigated, because it is not about the forum, it is about Nat, and her parents.  I feel blessed to have met, and work with a total of 3 people here who know how to keep things to themselves.  Kermit, you may mean well, but the way things came about were IMO only in favor of you.  You have people believing "not the full story", and thats not a good thing.  It's kind of like the Bible, you can read a line and take it several different ways, and I think you are doing that here.  Silvetti does not support that there was a body in that trap.  Do i agree?  NO.  But you know what, it is done.  We can't go back.  It doesn't mean there was a cover-up with the Persistence, it means poor judgement was done.  Silvetti went over there NOT knowing full details of this case.  Had it been one of us in his place, you bet things would have been done differently.  We have to move on here, it's over.  I am sure Tim is not thrilled with what happened either, he waited 2+ years to get there and do the search.  For him to be called a liability in my book is so wrong.  The trap is still there, and I am sure there is other parts of what was in it spread about.  Instead of talking about it, why doesn't someone go there, and dig for themselves?  We all can talk a good talk, but how about walking the walk?  A few of us have.  Rob, Red, BB, have gone and a few more come to mind.  Thats a small amount compared to what is in this group.  Sure, we can all send money to the cause, but that wont get Tim there again.  He's been there a gazillion times, they need new faces there that the ALE is not going to recognise. 

BTW with Kyle stating this comment       Kermit said: Kyle said Caps is (one step Away) from dirty hands.....that meant he was one step away from zeroing in on Dirty hands.  It's not the same person we see as Dirty Hands, but it is one of them.  once again, taken out of context.  P.S. Kermit was NOT on the boat.

It may just be me, but I think that a lot of hands got dirty, and a lot of them got slipped a little moola, and some got lots of green with a serving of envy.

Contrast that with Arubans that are losing jobs, going hungry, and skeletons that make the political cartoons of Diario.  Nothing for Christmas under those trees, if they can afford one.

1.I'm sorry if you feel that way.No way am i intending to attack!
2.What are some of us doing to Older Monkeys?
3.From who's Stand point?
4."There's no reason to dissect some of what we are talking about?"Why and who says?
5.Is it not true that Kyle Heard Silvetti say "Tim was a liability".Why would Tim be a liability??

Again.Kyle could clear this up very quickly but chooses not to do so!Why??I think he could explain himself??JMOO.

Again.With the apparent wealth of knowledge in education,as well as business,and to allow what occured out there on the Persistence for me is Horrific.I have tried to undertsand what kind of incompetence it would take to have Natalee potentially under your boat and let ALE come in and drive away with the contents of the cage.Again.This is just my opinion.I'm still trusting in the fact that the other 2 witnesses will come forward Hotshot!

I'm afraid I am about to be faced with a very sad situation.  We have this old wonderful loving sweet dog name Snoopy.  Snoopy the past several months has slowing started losing his faculties.  And now he is very sick.  Hy hubby who loves this precious old dog so much rushed Snoopy to the vet this morning and the vet said there is no more he can do for Snoopy.  So hubby is desperate to take him to a specialist this afternoon in St. Louis.  I know what's coming, but I don't have the heart to tell hubby.  So a little prayer would be much appreciated.  I know he's just a dog, but we love him so much.  He's a part of our family.

Sorry for the O/T


In time our pet does become like a member of the family.  This is why your hubby is compelled to do whatever it takes to prolong the life of your precious Snoopy.  Even if you are correct in suspect "what is coming" ... there will be no regrets.

Hugs and prayers Snoopy.

Poochy...was working on a Velasquez connection to Jaime a few months back...Found a post asking about Jaime Velasquez/Velasquez...we all know how Aruba likes to mix up names.

Daryanani...Brothers...Deepak and Satish...I think their father, or another relative was murdered a few months back...maybe Curacao.

Greta coming up on "the View" talking about the latest evidence.

Great work by Greta, taking this to ABC. Oh yeah, some would rather have her go on Dan Rather Reports because we wouldn't want to accuse her of a ratings grab.

But I'm happy to know a few million more people will hear about this today.

Don't think they will hear about a trap and some underwater photo's. they will hear things that hopefully set them off. Joran and Rudy Croes.

No-one knows the ending to this story.  I wish I could say, all the teepees will fall, and that those who did the horrific things would be put away for life.  From the highest ranking, right down to the kalpoes.  But we all know, this is Aruba.  I feel this thing going on with Rudy Croes right now is something to keep our eyes on, because it is BIG.  Why did he wait so long?  Is this just to make him look good for elections next year?(thats what some arubans seem to think)  Was someone going to rat him out soon?  Was it what joran said on national TV?  Whats it all about?  It is going to get interesting to say the least, and it is our job to make sure no-one is left out.  We need to compile a list of DirtyHands from the beginning to end, and force it into the Netherlands hands, Interpols hands....Leave no-one out!

As for Meetings on the boat, of course Richardson, and Mos were going to be there.  They are supposed to be the highest people in the ALE, why wouldn't they be there?  not that we like them, but it is their waters, their Island, and they have every right to be there.  Of course it was all a cover-up, WE have known this from close to day one, once they said a son of a judge we knew.  It shouldn't come to be a surprise just because it is all coming out in the open.  Yes we were right all along, Yeah for us. 


However ... if the Persistence endeavor was all about finding Natalee's remains and ... allowing those responsible for the coverup ... the enemy ... to have complete control over the chain of custody ... it can then been be assumed that justice for Natalee Holloway and ... closure for her family was never the objective.  The "game was fixed".  It was all about being participants to THE GRAND FINALE' TO THE ARUBAN COVERUP!

If Kyle's words are to be believe ...

*The Persistence endeavor was a betrayal to justice prevailing for an eighteen year old American citizen!!

*The Persistence endeavor was a betrayal to a family who may now never be afforded the opportunity of bringing their beloved Natalee home ... home to rest on on American soil!!

*The Persistence endeavor was a betrayal to those who scarificially donated to an undertaking where self-serving motives where the objective ... not justice ... not closure ... not accountability.

We had little option other than to have the Aruban dive division recover the samples and bring them back under their care.  Remember we are Americans working in Aruban waters, subject to their laws, invitation, and blessing.  Our hands are tied for the most part. I personally was extremely uncomfortable with the chain of custody, being that we weren't a part of it, but I was powerless to do anything about it ...

If I understood Kyle correctly, and that would be that the Arubans retrieved and possessed all finds, not sharing anything with the crew, then that effort was a waste of time and effort. The only thing it could have accomplished was to locate additional evidence for the Arubans to destroy.  The effort was superb, but the game was fixed.

texasmom, magnolia, keepthefaith, tamoksmom, san,
Just a few lines to let you know I have know Ill feelings towards you.
I don't know why you are on the attack for me, but i am sure you have your reasons, and thats fine.
Lets start with I feel it was remains in the trap, and I too feel it was taken right out from under the boat.  Who ever was in charge it was definitely not kyle.  He had one job, and one job only, that was to find targets, and watch the screen.  I was not asked to come and defend him, actually I asked him If I could.  He "WILL NOT" come back here as for he sees what some of you are doing to older monkeys, he doesn't need that in his life.  And he is smart in not doing so.  There is no reason to dissect some of what you are all talking about it is what it is and its as simple as that.  Who was in charge of the boat?  I don't know, I would say the owner.  Who should have been in charge?  Tim Miller!  Would I have taken samples and brought them home?  YES!  Did they?  I don't think they did but I do think some wanted to, and maybe that is why Tim was named a liability IMO.  You have to remember they were in the Aruban waters, and had they done anything against the Arubans, they'd be sitting in jail just like Matthews.  Do we really want to see that happen?  Theres lots to think about, it's not just cut and dry here.  Do I feel the trip over there with them was a loss?  Yes  Why?  Aruba socked us again!  I am just hoping and praying that something there is left in that black hole to use as evidence somewhere down the line.  Do I think there will ever be a conviction? Only if Interpol, and such gets involved, and the BIGWIGS get taken down. 

As for Meetings on the boat, of course Richardson, and Mos were going to be there.  They are supposed to be the highest people in the ALE, why wouldn't they be there?  not that we like them, but it is their waters, their Island, and they have every right to be there.  Of course it was all a cover-up, WE have known this from close to day one, once they said a son of a judge we knew.  It shouldn't come to be a surprise just because it is all coming out in the open.  Yes we were right all along, Yeah for us. 

We did not come on here to derail anything with CAPS.  CAPS is part of an undercover part in Aruba who is really doing his job.  If you have read the Aruban papers, and listened to tes getting polys on some people from Aruba, you would know that he is for real and he is possibly the one who is taking all these big people down.  And you ask why can't we say who he is?  Do you wish for him to become another "pitbull"?  There have been deaths due to the Holloway case we all know this, and he has also proved it and even Rudy Croes has said it.  CAPS was actually working before the Persistence came about, he just wasn't HERE.  You actually think I like hiding who he is?  I wish I could tell the whole world, but right now we can't.  Klaas, and a few others know he is real.  When things are done, and heads have rolled, he will tell you himself.  Until then, it's not about who or what is known, its about someone actually doing the job.  Natalees job.

As far as Private Forums go, I do not belong to one either.....And as for feeling alone, I do.  I feel it here, and in the other forums that I had been in the past.  I still go to my fullest extent to get things investigated, because it is not about the forum, it is about Nat, and her parents.  I feel blessed to have met, and work with a total of 3 people here who know how to keep things to themselves.  Kermit, you may mean well, but the way things came about were IMO only in favor of you.  You have people believing "not the full story", and thats not a good thing.  It's kind of like the Bible, you can read a line and take it several different ways, and I think you are doing that here.  Silvetti does not support that there was a body in that trap.  Do i agree?  NO.  But you know what, it is done.  We can't go back.  It doesn't mean there was a cover-up with the Persistence, it means poor judgement was done.  Silvetti went over there NOT knowing full details of this case.  Had it been one of us in his place, you bet things would have been done differently.  We have to move on here, it's over.  I am sure Tim is not thrilled with what happened either, he waited 2+ years to get there and do the search.  For him to be called a liability in my book is so wrong.  The trap is still there, and I am sure there is other parts of what was in it spread about.  Instead of talking about it, why doesn't someone go there, and dig for themselves?  We all can talk a good talk, but how about walking the walk?  A few of us have.  Rob, Red, BB, have gone and a few more come to mind.  Thats a small amount compared to what is in this group.  Sure, we can all send money to the cause, but that wont get Tim there again.  He's been there a gazillion times, they need new faces there that the ALE is not going to recognise. 

BTW with Kyle stating this comment       Kermit said: Kyle said Caps is (one step Away) from dirty hands.....that meant he was one step away from zeroing in on Dirty hands.  It's not the same person we see as Dirty Hands, but it is one of them.  once again, taken out of context.  P.S. Kermit was NOT on the boat.



Hotshot,
I am on my lunch break right now, so I don't have time to go back and review every post I made.  I don't recall anything derogatory that I've posted to you, I certainly have had no ill will toward you and have not been "on the attack".  I honestly don't know what you're talking about, but I'm sincerely sorry that you feel the way you do.   :smt056

RUDY CROES

THEN

Amigoe, Friday 30 September 2005

According to Justice-minister Rudy Croes (MEP), there is not much that can be done against Twitty’s attitude. He says that declaring her as persona non grata is no option. The American media would blow that up and it can fire back at us.

She is back in all sorts of programs where she calls upon Americans to avoid Aruba as vacation destination. “I can’t understand her attitude. We did everything possible to find her daughter”, said Croes. He hopes of course that one day the teenager will show up, but he said that badmouthing would definitely not contribute to that.

Many Aruban people are very angry with Twitty and are afraid that her constant appeals against Aruba would have a negative effect on the tourism. Even though this does not reflect in the figures, the government does keep a finger on the pulse. Croes does not consider taking measures against Twitty yet, but does not rule out the possibility TO SHUT HER UP IN THE FUTURE. The Dutch government was asked to diplomatically support Aruba in this matter.

Holloway-case messed up by nepotism
4 Dec, 2008, 10:08 (GMT -04:00)


ORANJESTAD -- Jan van der Straten has messed up the investigation in the first ten days after it got out that the American teenager Natalee Holloway had disappeared.  He helped his ‘friend’ Paul van der Sloot to protect his suspected son Joran.

Justice-minister Rudy Croes says this now that he feels attacked by the former chief of police and the first investigation leader of the case.  Van der Straten has criticized certain aspects of the Police Corps (KPA) earlier this week.   “He has also compared our Guarda Nos Costa with a politically driven group à la Chávez (Venezuelan president)”, says  Croes.  “He is an activist of the opposition party AVP, that’s why, but he forgets that it is the Natalee Holloway-case that was driven by favouritism.”

Wait till retirement

“I actually wanted to wait till my retirement next year to bring this into the open”, continues the minister.  “But the time has come to tell the truth.  When the case came to light, I heard Van der Straten say literally:  ‘I can’t let this happen to my friend Paul’.  And then during the first ten days, there were heavy telephone traffic between him and Paul van der Sloot.”

According to Croes, Van der Straten has perhaps consciously deployed the so-called flexiteam after the disappearance of Natalee.  “He said in May 2005: ‘I can solve this with my flexiteam’.  As everybody knows, the flexiteam was a team that was put into action when the regular police team was over-occupied; for example during carnival.
A detective could be included in the team, but it was no police-team that was capable of doing an investigation.  Why didn’t he call in the taya-team (police officers with a lot of expertise and experience – red.)?”

There are more things that went wrong.  “Why was a beach-bum accused at that time, who has been a choller before?  He had supposedly done it, while internally it was known that he hadn’t done it.  Very special is also the fact that the Dutch language was used during Joran’s interrogation, while he is fluent in Papiamento, same as our detective.  Our people could have done their work much better if the conversations were done in their own language.  Why was he so privileged?  Simply because it were ‘Dutch-friends’; all three of them: Joran, Paul, and Jan.  Don’t forget that a Dutch minister had asked me at that time not to mention that Joran is a European Dutch citizen.  I won’t say who this person is, but if by any chance I have to mention his name, I definitely will.  We felt abandoned by the Netherlands when Aruba was so devastated by the case.   I have told this to the Dutch premier Balkenende, state secretary Bijleveld (Kingdom Relations), and minister Hirsch-Ballin (Justice).  But until now, everybody has remained quit and has let the world besmear Aruba’s name.  They abandoned us and let us suffer.”

Croes is of the opinion that the solving of the case is with the three Dutchmen Van der Straten and Paul and Joran van der Sloot.  He says that a new investigation team must come that consists of Arubans, Antilleans, and Americans.  “Why did it never occur to them to remove Jan van der Straten from his position after those ten ill-bred days?

In the case of Marlies van der Kouwe in Bonaire, police officers were taken off the case because they have failed.  I challenge Van der Straten and Paul van der Sloot to come up with clarifications, so that Aruba’s name can be cleared from this mess (porkeria).

There is no protocol on how to treat "old" vs. "new" monkeys.  Seems there is an effort underway to disrupt this forum by some "older" monkeys.  I'm not suggesting that Hotshot is one of those "older" monkeys but there does appear to be an effort going on behind the scenes.  I'm not talking about only in this forum but also in the Caylee Anthony forum. I have a pretty good idea who the "older" monkeys are that are behind the effort.  The words pathetic, laughable and wrong come to mind.

I am a very old monkey.   I remember when one of the first secret forums
started.  They were all monkeys who thought they knew more.  I also
remember Ringo and Kathy coming to this forum one night and causing
all sorts of havoc and then attempting to take all of their post from here
to the private forum.  Suddenly, about half the monkeys were gone.
I see a lot of them turning up now with different nics and they come

Funny, you remember all the bad things. Ringo took quite a bit of us over there, and many are still here today.  Why bring me up?  We didn't go over there because we thought we knew more, we went over there because of crap like this.. that you are pulling.  That was quite a few years ago, and if I can recall that was the only way any of us could talk with Dave at that point in time.  No need to bring names up now, I am sure there are people here that won't be too happy about that.  Anymore digging you want to do?

My position on this for the record:

I can say without hesitation that most of the names being tossed around today have justice for Natalee as their prime goal.  That includes Kermit, Hotshot, Capslock and 99% of the active posters at SM.  This is my personal opinion.  They may go about seeking justice in different ways but the goal is the same.

I do not know Kyle, John Silvetti or Louis Schaeffer and can't say the same about them, nor can I same the same about ALE.  That doesn't mean they aren't honest, just saying I woudn't vouch for someone I really know nothing about.

I will repeat this:  There is no such thing as a private forum!  They can try but information always finds a way out.

Kyle stated: "John is not a believer in the trap. He took ALE's word as gospel that it wasn't case related, yet never studied the videos or bothered to inquire further. He had plans on doing business with Aruba and in S. America and he didn't want to hurt any feelings by talks hinting at lack of complete trust and friendship."

Hotshot

Do you have any connection with the owner of the Persistence?

You tend to know a lot of inside information regarding what was said and done aboard that ship ... Inside information that does not reflect the words of Kyle's posts on SM and ... his posts brought over from the "private" forum.

Just wondering.

Janet

I have a question if anybody knows!Who on the Persistence has a daughter??Silvetti,Schaeffer,and or the captain of the boat.Anyone know???

Keepthefaith ... do you have photo of this gal.

Thanks

Janet

No.Just conversed with her shortly at another Forum..Was curious as to how she is doing!I believe she was younger,college aged girl.Not positive.She was keeping people posted on the search.That is why i ask.Think that my personal messages that she had sent,as well as a few from another were deleted.Interesting stuff..

There is no protocol on how to treat "old" vs. "new" monkeys.  Seems there is an effort underway to disrupt this forum by some "older" monkeys.  I'm not suggesting that Hotshot is one of those "older" monkeys but there does appear to be an effort going on behind the scenes.  I'm not talking about only in this forum but also in the Caylee Anthony forum.
I have a pretty good idea who the "older" monkeys are that are behind the effort.  The words pathetic, laughable and wrong come to mind .  I dont go to the Caylee forum much at all.  Sorry it is not me.

Hotshot ... the administrator of a public forum that I posted on a while back made the decision to move ... not copy ... all the research ... research that I and others had contributed ... to a "private site" ... a "private site" that many members were not afforded an invitation ... me included.  However ... excluded members were welcome to continue contributing research to the forum.

 ::MonkeyNoNo::

I was informed by one of the mods that I had no complaint ... after all I had "freely" contributed.  I left the forum that day and ... never logged in again.

Thankfully ... all my research had been backed up in my document file.  I had learned a vauluable lesson from a previous incident that happened on the first Natalee Forum I posted on ... Court TV ... when all my posts which were not backedup went "poof".

Janet

That's interesting Janet.I lost about 600 posts at Court TV??

Apparently ... all the posts going "poof" was not an intentional action but ... I learned a valuable lesson that day nevertheless.  I have backed up all research I contributed to forums.  My DIL is the organizer.  However ... my memory for key words along with my trusty search engine gets me through.

Well, I spent my lurking time today catching up on all of yestrday's posts.  I still do not know who is right or who is wrong.  There have been many astute observations made on both sides of the (Persistence mission/Human remains/Somebody is trying to make money/etc) equation. 

The most educational post of the year came from Klaasend (and, no, I'm not kissin' up).

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRIVATE FORUM

In everyday life if you say it out loud it can and...if juicy enough...will be repeated.  I don't care who you say it to.  It's out there once you verbalize.

In the cyberworld...if you type it, it can and...if juicy enough...will be copied and posted again somewhere.  I don't care how clandestine you thing that site is.  It's out there once you post it.

It is disheartening to see monkeys going at each other, especially when I have watched them for so long work so hard to get answers for Natalee.  I hope all of this gets resolved soon.  Since I was not on the boat or the island I don't really know who is right and who is wrong.  I'll just collect the information from both sides and see if it produces any results down the road.


Carry on, Monkeys.  Natalee still needs justice!

Silvetti does have a daughter who has apparently been following the case and I would never post her pic. I'd be embarrased to think that she might be reading all these things that have been posted about her father. Please dont post her pic, she is only a few years older then Natalee, and I am sure that is what fueled John to do the search too.  That pic we saw, did not look like her BTW.

Natalee Holloway's parents to meet with Aruban prosecutor


Van der Sloot's co-counsel -- New York attorney Joe Tacopina -- said he has no doubt his client is innocent.

"Whatever they're holding in their bag, whatever they don't want to show anyone ... it's not going to amount to a hill of beans against Joran van der Sloot because he had no involvement in Natalee's disappearance," Tacopina told CNN.

Natalee's Mother: Taped 'Confession' Shows Guilt


THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) ― Secret camera footage of a Dutch student saying he believed missing teenager Natalee Holloway was dead and asking a friend to dump her body at sea in Aruba proves he is not innocent, her mother said in an interview Monday.

But Joseph Tacopina, a lawyer for student Joran Van der Sloot, said his client was not responsible for the Alabama teen-ager's death and that the tapes do not amount to a confession.

5.Who alerted the ALE that the target was located???
6.Who was responsible for coordinating the dives??
7.Why would you let ALE dive on that without retrieving samples for yourselves?Why let them know you found anything??How would they know you found anything unless you told them??

What is "old" versus "new" at any forum?  I've noticed over time at some places that nics seem to be added and that they may not be active for months or years.  One day, they nic posts and says something like "I've been lurking a long time and following the case..."  

Some, have "reading" and "posting" nics at different forums.  If one get's banned, the other becomes active.

I've also notice at other forums that a nic may disappear after some time, and reappear months later.  The reappearance may have a different posting style and not remember what they previously promoted.

Is there really such a thing as an "old" nic?

Would a nic by any other name smell as sweet?

I wonder if JVDS will show up on Springer?   Maybe he's been shopping around his next story?

I just wrote Whoopi in lieu of Greta's appearance telling her about how Natalee was "murdered" when 2 black guards were in jail, and "disappeared" when Joran became the suspect.

I really don't think it matters, just keep writing.

Hotshot ... I think the issue encompassing the contents of the cage is HUGE.  If there were remains in the cage and ... those were the remains of Natalee Holloway ... it was her family's only opportunity to bring her home ... home to rest on American soil.

Considering ... the ROV images ... considering Kyle's words regarding the chain of custody ... THIS THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY THE "POWERS THAT BE" IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Justice for Natalee Holloway ... closure for her family and ... accountability for those who sacrificially donated to a search effort that should have been aware of the dynamics encompassing the Aruban coverup ... demands it!

This is why i can't for the life of me get my brain around this one.
1.We know Aruba is corrupt to the core.
2.Richardson,Mos,as well as other ALE involved in meetings.
3.You find the target your looking for.
4.Is it possible to retrieve samples without the ALE knowing??I think so...
5.Who alerted the ALE that the target was located???
6.Who was responsible for coordinating the dives??
7.Why would you let ALE dive on that without retrieving samples for yourselves?Why let them know you found anything??How would they know you found anything unless you told them??

Just more questions that only someone on the Persistence can ask!
1.Silvetti
2.Schaeffer
3.Kyle(OE)

#3 - I am not convinced that anyone found what they were looking for.   Where is the evidence?  I haven't seen all the videos/pictures and I just don't know if there was a skull or a rock. 

I'm thinking this may be like the picture of the face on Mars--just a fluke.  If it's not a fluke, perhaps there is something going on that I cannot get my mental arms around.  Maybe a game of chicken, or poker, and I don't play either of those games.

If someone is playing those games, all will come out in the end.

The finger is still pointing at Aruba.   :smt077

just my humble opinions


1.The Target being the cage!
2.Talk to ALE about what was or wasn't in the cage!Guess we'll never know!

Anyway, thanks.  I'm using some of your info in my email campaign.  Maybe I'll send a copy of each one to Greta. ::MonkeyWink::

There is no protocol on how to treat "old" vs. "new" monkeys.  Seems there is an effort underway to disrupt this forum by some "older" monkeys.  I'm not suggesting that Hotshot is one of those "older" monkeys but there does appear to be an effort going on behind the scenes.  I'm not talking about only in this forum but also in the Caylee Anthony forum. I have a pretty good idea who the "older" monkeys are that are behind the effort.  The words pathetic, laughable and wrong come to mind.

Rudy Croes Obstructed Justice: Minister Croes of Justice Finally Admits Natalee Holloway Case Messed Up by Nepotism, Blames van der Straten

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2008/12/08/rudy-croes-obstructed-justice-minister-croes-of-justice-finally-admits-natalee-holloway-case-messed-up-by-nepotism-blames-van-der-straten/

Define irony? The Justice Minister of Aruba Rudy Croes obstructing justice in the case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Croes claims that Jan van der Straten intentionally messed up the case due to nepotism, yet Rudy Croes never came forward with this information until now. Beth and Dave Holloway would have been interested in Croes’ latest comment in June 2005.

Great front page if anyone missed it!  Great job on the video Klaas!  ::MonkeyCool::

What I'm amazed at is that when anyone talks about mistakes or poor investigation, you don't put 2 innocent security guards in jail for 10 days because of a mistake.

That's why I don't think that reasoning will fly. How do you link the "evidence" jan van der straaten had with arresting the guards?

Why these guards? On the word of Joran van der sloot? What, when he accuses 2 black guys, that's evidence! But when he confesses he's a liar?

Van der straaten will not be the scapegoat. Aruba will blame Holland and Holland will blame Aruba, they will blame the "system." There is no money to pay anyone anything.

I did not save the comparison photo Klaas made with a regular policeman's cap but this is one of the contents of the bags that we have seen.

I clearly see just such a cap as is worn by police and sometimes boat personnel with a circular emblem above the remains of what appears to me to be the bill of the cap.

This would be an even greater coincidence than that of the skirt image.  We do not know if this is the ONLY fabric that was found and collected but the blue in this photo inside the baggie could not be anything other than the remains of a service cap.

I do realize this is only my opinion and do not need anyone to tell me that but I see what I see.  If there were no remains of Natalee found in that trap, while I agree they were mishandled, it becomes somewhat of a moot point.  The problem then could be were there remains and they were not collected or not properly, etc.

But I still say I clearly see a service cap.  What are the odds of an emblem above a bill in just that position otherwise?

you could also consider this e-mail address.
cie.naaz@tweedekamer.nl
this is the e-mail address of the committee for Aruban/Antilles Affairs itself.
and working from top down is a good idea. the ones on top are the highest ranking with the most influence.
to make it easier CC or BCC can be useful.

of course i am doing my bit as well. after all it are my representatives.

maybe some won't like it when foreigners start demanding action from them.
but screw those.
it's is their job to hold the Dutch Minsters responsible.
because the Dutch Ministers are in turn responsible if the Aruban Justice system is corrupt (article 43) and they have failed to do that.
with a few exceptions - of course Brinkman. but there are a few others.
but as long as they are in the minority it's not enough. maybe this can tip the balance.
i hope Rudy Croes, Jan van der Straten or even Paul/Joran van der Sloot says something outrageous ASAP.
just to keep things in the news.

tomorrow 16:30 (10:30 ET) the schedule for this week is decided on.
but mainly the schedule for the Parliamentary Delegation to Aruba/Curaçao in January is decided then.
as soon as i know what was decided there i will report on that.
also the Senate has a informal debate with the Aruban/Antilles Affairs secretary.
here are the members of the Aruban/Antilles Committee:
http://www.eerstekamer.nl/commissies/naaz
here their e-mail, cell and phone numbers and even home addresses:
http://www.eerstekamer.nl/id/vgiok4iu4rt5/document_extern/ledenlijst_eerste_kamer/f=/vi0bkj9tndib.pdf
but the Senate (Eerste Kamer/First Chamber) doesn't have much power - and they only become a bit more relevant in a later stage.

so i use they earlier list (Tweede Kamer/Second Chamber) first:
http://www.tweedekamer.nl/kamerleden/commissies/NAAZ/index.jsp#0

then Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon Second Chamber debates with the Kingdom Affairs Secretary.
with Prime-Minister Balkenende attending Wednesday.
i am still hoping that the Justice Minister Hirsch Ballin also is going be summoned to attend.
but usually that should have been reported by now, and it hasn't yet.

Ronnie...Welcome!

Do you recall the friend's name that was with Joran when you first met him?

Thank You in Advance!

The friend's name was Dary (Not Daury, when the video with Patrick was released and Joran mentioned the name Daury, I thought about it.. but the two names are pronouced totally different).. I believe they had told us Dary was 15, he looked younger than Joran. We only met Dary that first initial day, he didn't come around anymore after that. Didn't get a last name, I wish I had but we didn't even know Joran's last name until we exchanged email addresses (Jorans last name was part of the email address he used back then)..

=]

Now this is interesting.  The one person I know, that hung out with Joran, regularly and looked young, was Sander.  Who knows what his pimp/street name was.

Klaas  Could you post a couple of Sander's pics for Ronnie to look at??

Does anyone else remember, when Paulus was denied compensation.  Karen J had shown a slide show, during the appeal,  which explained the two contacts with Natalee...and I swear...there was something mentioned about wiretaps and contact between Van der Straaten and Paulus.   ::MonkeyConfused::

Wreck, I understand that you don't see it but I do.  I live near a major river and have seen tug boat pilots wearing very very similar caps as well.

We all saw different things looking into the photos over the last 3 years.

And this is what I see when I look at the baggies.

It isn't right/wrong.  It is just the contents of the bag as they appear to me.

I still say this image has me puzzled.  This had to be what the divers were looking at when they gave the thumbs down signal.  The thumbs down came at 15:39 and this image was at 15:40.  While we cannot be certain what we are seeing here, it certainly isn't nothing.  Tim T actually used the word 'Nothing' when he came back onboard.  Also, I cannot believe no one onboard saw this image on the monitor.

I am still intrigued by this sequence.  How is this 'Nothing'?

And how did they know it was nothing so very quickly?

We don't know if everything was collected or just items that the divers found interesting.

In that second photo, the cap appears to have a rock or what might be a second sneaker on it.

Was anything of the greenish whatever underneath it collected?

We just don't know the extent of the collection process, methods or anything else really.

Go straight down from what some say is the skull and see the light blue crecent with what could be gold braid or some sort of growth in front of the light blue crescent.

From the more side angle, the bill looks mostly black.  That is in the first photo of the trap I posted.

Straight down and a little to the right in the photo, from what appears to some as a skull a little less that the height of the "skull" and you will see the cap.

It would be straight down on the person in the photos with Natalee superimposed over what was in the trap.  Sort of on her chest.

Do you recall the friend's name that was with Joran when you first met him?

Thank You in Advance!


Hi Ronnie, thanks for the info. When you have time, please check out the pics on this site to see if you recognize Joran's friend DARY. Do you recall if Dary looked Dutch, or Indian/Surinamese/Colombian - and possibly anything else about him - such as hair color and height? TIA.




Thanks Ronnie and Poochy...

Nationality or anything else you can recall would be very helpful Ronnie as Joran maintains he hung around the tourist spots with Jamie and Freddy. Long hair, short hair, etc.


This Dary that Joran was with, resembled Satish and Deepak.. He was dark; dark skin, dark hair.. He was shorter than Joran, but taller than me (i'm 5'3) so i'd say he was around 5'5.. His hair was short, not completely shaved but not much there either.. Oh and the next time we saw Joran, he told us that Dary was annoying and constantly followed him around, he couldnt stand him. Great friend huh? I've looked through all of the pictures since the beginning of the case, but so far I haven't seen any picture of Dary in anything.. I wonder who he was and what happened to him? I'm sorry, wish I could of been more help!

This is the other image of the material/cap in the bag, where Klaas zoomed in on it so we could see if it was a pelvic/hip bone.

Cap or Material?

Post by: blah on December 08, 2008, 07:05:49 PM
I did not save the comparison photo Klaas made with a regular policeman's cap but this is one of the contents of the bags that we have seen.

I clearly see just such a cap as is worn by police and sometimes boat personnel with a circular emblem above the remains of what appears to me to be the bill of the cap.

This would be an even greater coincidence than that of the skirt image.  We do not know if this is the ONLY fabric that was found and collected but the blue in this photo inside the baggie could not be anything other than the remains of a service cap.

I do realize this is only my opinion and do not need anyone to tell me that but I see what I see.  If there were no remains of Natalee found in that trap, while I agree they were mishandled, it becomes somewhat of a moot point.  The problem then could be were there remains and they were not collected or not properly, etc.

But I still say I clearly see a service cap.  What are the odds of an emblem above a bill in just that position otherwise?

Kyle: “I did not feel the same and we had a major difference in opinion. He [John Silvetti] was the one who never pressed ALE to be completely open with us with the trap evidence. I would have forced them to. However, John was the one paying my invoices so I was forced to sit back and hope for the best.”

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=4182.msg564753;topicseen#msg564753

Totally understand what you are saying.  Wish i had been there for that ...  I wasn't.  I can't say what John thought or didnt think, but I would think if kyle said it, he would know.  I didnt get to talk to him(john) about all of this, and it was just after the search, so what really was there to talk about.  I really didnt want to pry at that point.  I don't doubt it all happened.  but I will say this, he doesn't know the story like we all do.  if that was us over there, you know it would have gone differently, for sure....whether it landed us in jail or not.  But us older generations look at the ALE as being superior (used to) anyway, ,and that was probably the path john was taking.  I don't know for sure, so dont quote that.  It is a shame it all happened this way.  I agree with you.  But I think there are bigger and better things coming in the name of Rudy Croes...No I don't know for sure,...just seems different this time.   
Silvetti does have a daughter who has apparently been following the case and I would never post her pic. I'd be embarrased to think that she might be reading all these things that have been posted about her father. Please dont post her pic, she is only a few years older then Natalee, and I am sure that is what fueled John to do the search too.  That pic we saw, did not look like her BTW. 

If you are talking about Silvetti that is the problem.Were the crew of the Persistence not briefed extensively on the background of this investigation???One would think you'd research this entire investigation from beginning to end to understand what you're dealing with.Especially when it concerns the Aruban authorities!

Keepthefaith

Hotshot ... I think the issue encompassing the contents of the cage is HUGE.  If there were remains in the cage and ... those were the remains of Natalee Holloway ... it was her family's only opportunity to bring her home ... home to rest on American soil.

Considering ... the ROV images ... considering Kyle's words regarding the chain of custody ... THIS THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY THE "POWERS THAT BE" IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Justice for Natalee Holloway ... closure for her family and ... accountability for those who sacrificially donated to a search effort that should have been aware of the dynamics encompassing the Aruban coverup ... demands it!

Lifesong,

I still see the cap with the back torn or out and something shoved into it.

The bill appears to be at the top in that photo you posted.  Note it is a perfect, straight edged semi circle.  Perfect shapes seldom occur in nature, IMO.  Like never, in fact.

But we have no real way of knowing and also no way of knowing if this was the only fabric or material collected from the trap or really anything else.  There could have been baggies we did not see, etc.

It could be like that, Blah.  But to me it looks more like the police cap version and the circle clearly has a cross on in as part of the emblem.  Except for the cross, it looks very much like the cap the police COMMISSIONERS in Aruba wear.  Also very popular with Marine and Maritime workers.  Like Bluto in Popeye cartoons sometimes wears, etc.  People on tug boats and barges sometimes also.  But more structured than a baseball cap.

As Magnolia pointed out, it also appears to have a few chomps taken out of the front of the bill part.

It does to me as well, Nut.  I'm just relieved that anyone else can see it even if the majority do not.  I understand that from not seeing things in photos in the past that others said they saw.

So were those baggies the ONLY ones retrieved or just an example?  There just appeared to be more things or matter in the trap than contained in those 3-4 baggies.

What I'm amazed at is that when anyone talks about mistakes or poor investigation, you don't put 2 innocent security guards in jail for 10 days because of a mistake.

That's why I don't think that reasoning will fly. How do you link the "evidence" jan van der straaten had with arresting the guards?

Why these guards? On the word of Joran van der sloot? What, when he accuses 2 black guys, that's evidence! But when he confesses he's a liar?

Van der straaten will not be the scapegoat. Aruba will blame Holland and Holland will blame Aruba, they will blame the "system." There is no money to pay anyone anything.

What about the Judge that ruled there was enough evidence to continue their detention?  Where was he for three years after this?  Didn't hear a peep out of him and couldn't find his name in any news until this article from October.  Interesting.

Judge Keeps Aruba Suspects In Jail

ORANJESTAD, Aruba, June 8, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(CBS/AP) An Aruban judge ruled Wednesday there was sufficient cause to continue holding two former hotel security guards arrested earlier this week in connection with the disappearance of an Alabama honors student.

Judge J.S. Kuiperdal decided that authorities may hold suspects Nick John, 30, and Abraham Jones, 28, while prosecutors investigate them on suspicion of first- and second-degree murder and capital kidnapping, said their respective court-appointed defense lawyers, Noraina Pietersz and Chris Lejuez. Capital kidnapping is a charge brought when an abduction victim is killed. The two suspects have not been formally charged.

Attorney General Caren Janssen confirmed the judge's decision in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

"They are accused of, first of all, murder. Conspiracy to commit murder homicide, conspiracy to commit homicide and capital kidnapping," Lejeuz said Wednesday on CBS News' The Early Show.

Both suspects, whom he initially represented, told Lejeuz "they've never seen Natalee Holloway, and they've never spoken to Natalee Holloway," he told co-anchor Hannah Storm.

The suspects were first identified publicly Wednesday by friends and relatives. Pietersz and Lejuez confirmed their identities following the judge's closed-door hearing, which took place at a police station where the men are jailed, outside the capital of Oranjestad.

The former security guards worked for a hotel two blocks from the Holiday Inn where 18-year-old Natalee Holloway had been staying. Their work contracts had expired on May 29, one day before Holloway disappeared, said authorities close to the case who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Investigators have not found any solid proof of Holloway's death, however, despite extensive land and water searches, which continued Wednesday. Holloway's parents were holding out hope that she was still alive.

The parents said they had not received any request for ransom or any other evidence that she had been kidnapped or murdered.

"As far as I know, there's no evidence of that, so that gives me hope that Natalee is still alive," stepfather Jug Holloway told Early Show co-anchor René Syler. "That's what we're here to do, is find Natalee."

Judge Kuiperdal will review the former security guards' case again next Wednesday and every eight days after that until there is a final resolution, the defense lawyers said. Aruban law allows authorities to hold the two suspects, who were arrested Sunday, for a total of 116 days without filing formal charges.

In an interview following the hearing, Pietersz said the prosecutors had asked that the defendants be kept in jail at least until next Wednesday, when they hope to conclude their investigation.

Under Aruban law, only serious suspicions from investigators — not solid evidence — are needed for a judge to rule that the suspects can continue to be held, Pietersz said.

"I do believe my client is innocent, that's all I can tell you," she added.

Lejuez asserted earlier Wednesday that there is "no evidence whatsoever" to indicate the suspects had anything to do with Holloway's disappearance.

At least one of the two men had a reputation of trying to pick up women at tourist hotels on the Dutch Caribbean island, police said. But both men insist they never met Holloway, Lejuez said.

Jones' common-law wife, Cynthia De Graaf, said she and her husband were together continuously both on May 29 and May 30.

"He was home. He was even sick," De Graaf said, breaking down in tears as she waited for the hearing to start. "They ruined everything. My daughter has been asking for her father."

Jones' mother, Cynthia Rosalie Jones, 64, added that the only way her son knew about Holloway was from seeing the news on television.

"They have my son there for something he knows nothing about," Jones said emphatically. "My son is innocent."

Police last week questioned and then released three men whom they referred to as "persons of interest." The three told police they took Holloway to a beach and then dropped her off at her hotel the night she vanished.

"Those guys saw her last," said 33-year-old Alvin Cornett, a man who identified himself as a friend of Jones. He added that the case against the former security guards "is like a frame."

"Those other three guys are rich."

Jones and John "are just regular guys," Cornett said.

Holloway vanished while on a five-day trip with more than 100 classmates celebrating their high school graduation. Seven chaperones accompanied them.

That's why I don't think that reasoning will fly. How do you link the "evidence" jan van der straaten had with arresting the guards?

Why these guards? On the word of Joran van der sloot? What, when he accuses 2 black guys, that's evidence! But when he confesses he's a liar?

Van der straaten will not be the scapegoat. Aruba will blame Holland and Holland will blame Aruba, they will blame the "system." There is no money to pay anyone anything.

What about the Judge that ruled there was enough evidence to continue their detention?  Where was he for three years after this?  Didn't hear a peep out of him and couldn't find his name in any news until this article from October.  Interesting.

Judge Keeps Aruba Suspects In Jail

ORANJESTAD, Aruba, June 8, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(CBS/AP) An Aruban judge ruled Wednesday there was sufficient cause to continue holding two former hotel security guards arrested earlier this week in connection with the disappearance of an Alabama honors student.

Judge J.S. Kuiperdal decided that authorities may hold suspects Nick John, 30, and Abraham Jones, 28, while prosecutors investigate them on suspicion of first- and second-degree murder and capital kidnapping, said their respective court-appointed defense lawyers, Noraina Pietersz and Chris Lejuez. Capital kidnapping is a charge brought when an abduction victim is killed. The two suspects have not been formally charged.

Attorney General Caren Janssen confirmed the judge's decision in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

"They are accused of, first of all, murder. Conspiracy to commit murder homicide, conspiracy to commit homicide and capital kidnapping," Lejeuz said Wednesday on CBS News' The Early Show.  

Both suspects, whom he initially represented, told Lejeuz "they've never seen Natalee Holloway, and they've never spoken to Natalee Holloway," he told co-anchor Hannah Storm.

The suspects were first identified publicly Wednesday by friends and relatives. Pietersz and Lejuez confirmed their identities following the judge's closed-door hearing, which took place at a police station where the men are jailed, outside the capital of Oranjestad.

The former security guards worked for a hotel two blocks from the Holiday Inn where 18-year-old Natalee Holloway had been staying. Their work contracts had expired on May 29, one day before Holloway disappeared, said authorities close to the case who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Investigators have not found any solid proof of Holloway's death, however, despite extensive land and water searches, which continued Wednesday. Holloway's parents were holding out hope that she was still alive.

The parents said they had not received any request for ransom or any other evidence that she had been kidnapped or murdered.

"As far as I know, there's no evidence of that, so that gives me hope that Natalee is still alive," stepfather Jug Holloway told Early Show co-anchor René Syler. "That's what we're here to do, is find Natalee."

Judge Kuiperdal will review the former security guards' case again next Wednesday and every eight days after that until there is a final resolution, the defense lawyers said. Aruban law allows authorities to hold the two suspects, who were arrested Sunday, for a total of 116 days without filing formal charges.

In an interview following the hearing, Pietersz said the prosecutors had asked that the defendants be kept in jail at least until next Wednesday, when they hope to conclude their investigation.

Under Aruban law, only serious suspicions from investigators — not solid evidence — are needed for a judge to rule that the suspects can continue to be held, Pietersz said.

"I do believe my client is innocent, that's all I can tell you," she added.

Lejuez asserted earlier Wednesday that there is "no evidence whatsoever" to indicate the suspects had anything to do with Holloway's disappearance.

At least one of the two men had a reputation of trying to pick up women at tourist hotels on the Dutch Caribbean island, police said. But both men insist they never met Holloway, Lejuez said.

Jones' common-law wife, Cynthia De Graaf, said she and her husband were together continuously both on May 29 and May 30.

"He was home. He was even sick," De Graaf said, breaking down in tears as she waited for the hearing to start. "They ruined everything. My daughter has been asking for her father."

Jones' mother, Cynthia Rosalie Jones, 64, added that the only way her son knew about Holloway was from seeing the news on television.

"They have my son there for something he knows nothing about," Jones said emphatically. "My son is innocent."

Police last week questioned and then released three men whom they referred to as "persons of interest." The three told police they took Holloway to a beach and then dropped her off at her hotel the night she vanished.

"Those guys saw her last," said 33-year-old Alvin Cornett, a man who identified himself as a friend of Jones. He added that the case against the former security guards "is like a frame."

"Those other three guys are rich."

Jones and John "are just regular guys," Cornett said.

Holloway vanished while on a five-day trip with more than 100 classmates celebrating their high school graduation. Seven chaperones accompanied them.







What evidence did they have to hold them,and or accuse them??

Does anyone else remember, when Paulus was denied compensation.  Karen J had shown a slide show, during the appeal,  which explained the two contacts with Natalee...and I swear...there was something mentioned about wiretaps and contact between Van der Straaten and Paulus.   ::MonkeyConfused::

In January of 2007 ... the Superior Court reversed the compensation that had been previously awared to Paulus van der Sloot for wrongful detention.  The Superior Court determined that Paulus' detention had been justified.

The possible involvement of Paulus that could then be deducted from the file with the official reports of witnesses, amongst which two people suggested a contact existed between Paulus and Natalee Holloway the night of her disappearance, and a taped report (that was given by the Prosecutor in her final note 1 to the Court). The taped information and his declaration   that he picked up Joran and Natalee by the McDonalds Palm Beach and brought them to the Holiday Inn, are clearly understood by the Dept. of Justice, and could in the judgement of this Superior Court, be considered as an indication of the involvement of Paulus in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

Aruban PM Seeks Answers
Saturday , June 11, 2005

ORANJESTAD, Aruba —

Finding 18-year-old Natalee Holloway (search) is currently Aruba's "No. 1 goal," the country's prime minister said Thursday after three more suspects were arrested in connection with the American tourist's disappearance.

"We stand behind the family of Natalee Holloway in full support," Prime Minister Nelson Orlando Oduber said. "This investigation must move along swiftly … we will not stop until we have answers. We are shocked and completely distraught."

Holloway was on a five-day graduation vacation with 124 classmates and seven chaperones when she disappeared without a trace. The Alabaman was last seen at a local bar about 1:30 a.m. Memorial Day (search), getting into a car with three islanders she'd apparently befriended.

Those three islanders were questioned and released last week but were arrested again on Thursday. Two other men are also in custody and being questioned.

The Aruba police and other international authorities "are doing everything in their power to find Natalee," Oduber said, adding that he's been in touch with U.S. officials like Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Alabama Gov. Bob Riley and Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions.

"The government of Aruba has always made the safety ... of our community and our visitors a top priority," the prime minister said during a press conference that Holloway's mother also attended. "Aruba has very strong ties to the United States. We will not tolerate any activities that harm our American friends or any of our international visitors, or part of our community at large."

Officials said earlier Thursday that the three men arrested gave the Alabama teen a ride back to her hotel the night she disappeared.

The trio — two Surinamese and a native of the Netherlands — told police they dropped off Holloway at her hotel around 2 a.m. on May 30. Holiday Inn employees, however, say that security cameras did not record her return.

The Dutch suspect, Joran Andreas Petrus Van Der Sloot, a student at Aruba International School, came out of his upper-class home in Oranjestad on Thursday with his head covered in a blue and green towel.

The Surinamese brothers in custody are Satish Kalpoe, born July 30, 1986, and Deepak Kalpoe, born Oct. 6, 1983. They are the sons of a local Aruban business man.

Van Der Sloot's father is a prominent official in the Aruban justice system. The younger Van Der Sloot, born Aug. 6, 1987, may have been romantically involved with the 18-year-old Holloway the night she disappeared. He met Holloway at a hotel casino two days before she was last seen, Aruban Police Commander Jahn van der Straaten told reporters.

The three, described by authorities earlier as witnesses and "persons of interest," had been released last week after being questioned about Holloway.

Aruba Attorney General Caren Janssen (search) said the three were arrested at 6 a.m. Thursday. She refused to say whether they were connected to the two men already being detained in the disappearance.

"It is likely it may have been a police strategy to let these three men go to gather more information," Ruben Trapenberg, spokesman for the Aruba government, told FOX News Thursday morning.

"The three witnesses gave information about the two guys [already in custody] and that is why they were held. If one of those two has an alibi, then the story [given by the three witnesses] doesn't fit and therefore the two may then be released depending on the proof."

Police also impounded a gray Honda car. Holloway's friends reported seeing her leave a bar in a silver car the night she disappeared.

Local police and the FBI said a lack of any solid leads was hindering progress in their search for Holloway. Local officials have asked the FBI to bring in dogs trained to search.

Police and volunteer land searches continued Wednesday with no results, while water searches, also unsuccessful, had been suspended "at this time," police spokesman Edwin Comenencia said.

"There is no physical evidence whatsoever and there are no statements given by any person that would indicate Natalee Holloway is not alive," Chris Lejuez, a court-appointed defense attorney for one of the two men previously arrested in the case, told FOX News Thursday morning.

Suspects: Holloway Was Drunk When We Dropped Her Off

Lejuez told FOX News that he and his colleague Noriana Pietersz had been given witness statements from only the two Surinamese citizens.

"I'm very happy that they're expanding the investigation," Lejuez told FOX News on Thursday morning. "It shows they are not focusing anymore on my client and the other person in custody. It shows the police finally realize they're not going to get anywhere with these two people."

The Kalpoe brothers told police that Van Der Sloot became intimate with Holloway at the California Lighthouse beach before they dropped her off at her hotel. They told police Holloway had been drinking heavily and was drunk, and then when she got out of their car in front of the Holiday Inn, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

When one tried to help her up, she pushed him away and said, "I can stand on my own!"

They say she then headed towards the lobby, and a black man in black pants and a black t-shirt escorted her inside.

The tape from the Holiday Inn lobby camera was reportedly checked by police but no images of Holloway were found, and the attorney says the security guard on duty from midnight on told authorities he never saw the teenager enter the hotel that night.

On Wednesday, a judge ruled that authorities had enough evidence to hold two former security guards arrested Sunday in connection with Holloway's disappearance.

At least one of the suspects, 28-year-old Abraham Jones, appeared in court in Aruba Wednesday morning. The other was identified as 30-year-old Mickey John.

Neither man has been charged with a crime, but both were being held on suspicion of first- and second-degree murder and capital kidnapping, the latter of which is invoked when a kidnapping victim is killed, according to their lawyers. According to Aruba law, only strong suspicion — not evidence — is necessary to continue holding a suspect.

"There is no reason to believe he's not telling the truth," Lejuez told FOX News Thursday morning, referring to his client, Jones. He added that Jones has repeated the same story to several people — that he was at a beach festival the night Holloway disappeared, then went home with his wife, where he slept until 7 a.m. the next day.

Lejuez dropped John as a client per a request from the prosecutor, who said it's not ethical for him to represent both clients. Whereas normally he would oppose such a move, Lejuez said, "in this case, considering the grave consequences it would have for the island of Aruba, I have ... deviated from what I normally do and honored their request to do so."

Pietersz, John's lawyer, said she spoke to her client in jail Thursday.

"I have decided not to demand the immediate release of my client," she said. "We prefer to let the prosecution investigate, confident that my client will be released by Wednesday" when a judge will decide whether to extend his detention.

Authorities may hold John and Jones without filing formal charges for up to 116 days, lawyers said. The two are Aruban citizens, though one is originally from Grenada. Family members insist the two men are innocent.

Judge J.S. Kuiperdal will review the case June 15 and every eight days after that if needed, officials said. Prosecutors asked that the defendants be kept in jail at least until June 15, when they hope to conclude their investigation.

Investigators must come up with some evidence to hold the suspects beyond that date.

Attorney general spokeswoman Vivian Van Der Biezan said she would check into whether Dutch law allows a charge of murder if no body is found.

Authorities have not said Holloway was a victim of foul play and have not ruled out any possibilities, including that she may have drowned.

Holloway spent her last night at a beach concert and then eating and dancing at Carlos 'n Charlie's bar and restaurant, which has donated $5,000 of a reward for information on her. She is described as a straight-A student who had a full scholarship to a premedical program at the University of Alabama.

The search for the Mountain Brook, Ala., teen began shortly after she failed to show up for her flight home the next morning. Police found her passport in her hotel room with her packed bags.

The Aruba government and local tourism organizations have offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to her rescue. Family and benefactors in Alabama have offered $30,000.

FOX News' Jonathan Serrie, Liza Porteus and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ronnie...Welcome!

Do you recall the friend's name that was with Joran when you first met him?

Thank You in Advance!

The friend's name was Dary (Not Daury, when the video with Patrick was released and Joran mentioned the name Daury, I thought about it.. but the two names are pronouced totally different).. I believe they had told us Dary was 15, he looked younger than Joran. We only met Dary that first initial day, he didn't come around anymore after that. Didn't get a last name, I wish I had but we didn't even know Joran's last name until we exchanged email addresses (Jorans last name was part of the email address he used back then)..

=]

Now this is interesting.  The one person I know, that hung out with Joran, regularly and looked young, was Sander.  Who knows what his pimp/street name was.

Klaas  Could you post a couple of Sander's pics for Ronnie to look at??
Remember he was out on daddys boat that night.

09. COMPENSATION DENIED - DETENTION JUSTIFIED

Aruba Diario - 02-14-07
The whole case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway gets a different twist now that the information has come out from no less than the Superior Court, and in which mention is made of the declarations of witnesses and a phone tap that show or give an indication that Paul van der Sloot had on two occasions personal contact with Natalee during the night that she disappeared. Mention is made that, according to one or more official reports of the phone tap and also the declaration of Paul van der Sloot himself, that Paul fetched Joran and Natalee at McDonald and took them to the Holiday Inn. Based on this information, the judicial authorities and the police had at that time a justified basis to arrest Paul van der Sloot based on different suspicions. Translation Credit: Diario Aruba

Interesting post, in Amigoe from Dec 2007 regarding Persistence (from Getagrip):
... The organization receives a lot of monetary- as well as emotional support on the weblog. This support is mainly from people that give the Lord’s blessing and that ask everybody to pray for the crew on the ship and the Holloway family. Criticism is not really tolerated on the website. These are not even added to the log. An anonymous informant is wondering whether the authorities are on board of the ship for if they find evidence. The lawyers of the former suspects are afraid that evidence can be planted by the crew. “They may just drop or add a purse for example.”

The OM does not cooperate with the search action, but wants to be kept informed of whatever is discovered that can be of interest. It is not known whether the crew has applied for a work permit for the search with the government.

You know, all the pictures i've seen of Freddy throughout the investigation I thought resembled the guy I met with Joran. The picture I posted is DEFINITELY the one I met, no doubt about it. Same exact height, build, skin color. Like I said, only difference is he was wearing glasses. The pictures of Freddy resemble him, but I didn't think it was the same person as Freddy seems to be slightly better looking.. Then again, I had only met him the one time, and he kept to himself so its possible.. I just don't get why theyd tell me his name was Dary if it was Freddy.

If they were using "Dary" as a nickname for Freddy back then, could it be possible that Freddy is the "Daury" Joran mentioned in the hidden confession? Very interesting...

remember Ringo and Kathy coming to this forum one night and causing
all sorts of havoc and then attempting to take all of their post from here
to the private forum.  Suddenly, about half the monkeys were gone.
I see a lot of them turning up now with different nics and they come
in groups.
Funny, you remember all the bad things. Ringo took quite a bit of us over there, and many are still here today.  Why bring me up?  We didn't go over there because we thought we knew more, we went over there because of crap like this.. that you are pulling.  That was quite a few years ago, and if I can recall that was the only way any of us could talk with Dave at that point in time.  No need to bring names up now, I am sure there are people here that won't be too happy about that.  Anymore digging you want to do?  

As I said, I am a very old monkey.  I have good long term memory...
can't say a lot for the short term memory.
Did I mention Hotshot?   I didn't think I did.

You may be an older Monkey but you are wiser.

Aruban PM Seeks Answers
Saturday , June 11, 2005

ORANJESTAD, Aruba —

Finding 18-year-old Natalee Holloway (search) is currently Aruba's "No. 1 goal," the country's prime minister said Thursday after three more suspects were arrested in connection with the American tourist's disappearance.

"We stand behind the family of Natalee Holloway in full support," Prime Minister Nelson Orlando Oduber said. "This investigation must move along swiftly … we will not stop until we have answers. We are shocked and completely distraught."

Holloway was on a five-day graduation vacation with 124 classmates and seven chaperones when she disappeared without a trace. The Alabaman was last seen at a local bar about 1:30 a.m. Memorial Day (search), getting into a car with three islanders she'd apparently befriended.

Those three islanders were questioned and released last week but were arrested again on Thursday. Two other men are also in custody and being questioned.

The Aruba police and other international authorities "are doing everything in their power to find Natalee," Oduber said, adding that he's been in touch with U.S. officials like Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Alabama Gov. Bob Riley and Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions.

"The government of Aruba has always made the safety ... of our community and our visitors a top priority," the prime minister said during a press conference that Holloway's mother also attended. "Aruba has very strong ties to the United States. We will not tolerate any activities that harm our American friends or any of our international visitors, or part of our community at large."

Officials said earlier Thursday that the three men arrested gave the Alabama teen a ride back to her hotel the night she disappeared.

The trio — two Surinamese and a native of the Netherlands — told police they dropped off Holloway at her hotel around 2 a.m. on May 30. Holiday Inn employees, however, say that security cameras did not record her return.

The Dutch suspect, Joran Andreas Petrus Van Der Sloot, a student at Aruba International School, came out of his upper-class home in Oranjestad on Thursday with his head covered in a blue and green towel.

The Surinamese brothers in custody are Satish Kalpoe, born July 30, 1986, and Deepak Kalpoe, born Oct. 6, 1983. They are the sons of a local Aruban business man.

Van Der Sloot's father is a prominent official in the Aruban justice system. The younger Van Der Sloot, born Aug. 6, 1987, may have been romantically involved with the 18-year-old Holloway the night she disappeared. He met Holloway at a hotel casino two days before she was last seen, Aruban Police Commander Jahn van der Straaten told reporters.

The three, described by authorities earlier as witnesses and "persons of interest," had been released last week after being questioned about Holloway.

Aruba Attorney General Caren Janssen (search) said the three were arrested at 6 a.m. Thursday. She refused to say whether they were connected to the two men already being detained in the disappearance.

"It is likely it may have been a police strategy to let these three men go to gather more information," Ruben Trapenberg, spokesman for the Aruba government, told FOX News Thursday morning.

"The three witnesses gave information about the two guys [already in custody] and that is why they were held. If one of those two has an alibi, then the story [given by the three witnesses] doesn't fit and therefore the two may then be released depending on the proof."


Police also impounded a gray Honda car. Holloway's friends reported seeing her leave a bar in a silver car the night she disappeared.

Local police and the FBI said a lack of any solid leads was hindering progress in their search for Holloway. Local officials have asked the FBI to bring in dogs trained to search.

Police and volunteer land searches continued Wednesday with no results, while water searches, also unsuccessful, had been suspended "at this time," police spokesman Edwin Comenencia said.

"There is no physical evidence whatsoever and there are no statements given by any person that would indicate Natalee Holloway is not alive," Chris Lejuez, a court-appointed defense attorney for one of the two men previously arrested in the case, told FOX News Thursday morning.

Suspects: Holloway Was Drunk When We Dropped Her Off

Lejuez told FOX News that he and his colleague Noriana Pietersz had been given witness statements from only the two Surinamese citizens.

"I'm very happy that they're expanding the investigation," Lejuez told FOX News on Thursday morning. "It shows they are not focusing anymore on my client and the other person in custody. It shows the police finally realize they're not going to get anywhere with these two people."

The Kalpoe brothers told police that Van Der Sloot became intimate with Holloway at the California Lighthouse beach before they dropped her off at her hotel. They told police Holloway had been drinking heavily and was drunk, and then when she got out of their car in front of the Holiday Inn, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

When one tried to help her up, she pushed him away and said, "I can stand on my own!"

They say she then headed towards the lobby, and a black man in black pants and a black t-shirt escorted her inside.

The tape from the Holiday Inn lobby camera was reportedly checked by police but no images of Holloway were found, and the attorney says the security guard on duty from midnight on told authorities he never saw the teenager enter the hotel that night.

On Wednesday, a judge ruled that authorities had enough evidence to hold two former security guards arrested Sunday in connection with Holloway's disappearance.

At least one of the suspects, 28-year-old Abraham Jones, appeared in court in Aruba Wednesday morning. The other was identified as 30-year-old Mickey John.

Neither man has been charged with a crime, but both were being held on suspicion of first- and second-degree murder and capital kidnapping, the latter of which is invoked when a kidnapping victim is killed, according to their lawyers. According to Aruba law, only strong suspicion — not evidence — is necessary to continue holding a suspect.

"There is no reason to believe he's not telling the truth," Lejuez told FOX News Thursday morning, referring to his client, Jones. He added that Jones has repeated the same story to several people — that he was at a beach festival the night Holloway disappeared, then went home with his wife, where he slept until 7 a.m. the next day.

Lejuez dropped John as a client per a request from the prosecutor, who said it's not ethical for him to represent both clients. Whereas normally he would oppose such a move, Lejuez said, "in this case, considering the grave consequences it would have for the island of Aruba, I have ... deviated from what I normally do and honored their request to do so."

Pietersz, John's lawyer, said she spoke to her client in jail Thursday.

"I have decided not to demand the immediate release of my client," she said. "We prefer to let the prosecution investigate, confident that my client will be released by Wednesday" when a judge will decide whether to extend his detention.

Authorities may hold John and Jones without filing formal charges for up to 116 days, lawyers said. The two are Aruban citizens, though one is originally from Grenada. Family members insist the two men are innocent.

Judge J.S. Kuiperdal will review the case June 15 and every eight days after that if needed, officials said. Prosecutors asked that the defendants be kept in jail at least until June 15, when they hope to conclude their investigation.

Investigators must come up with some evidence to hold the suspects beyond that date.

Attorney general spokeswoman Vivian Van Der Biezan said she would check into whether Dutch law allows a charge of murder if no body is found.

Authorities have not said Holloway was a victim of foul play and have not ruled out any possibilities, including that she may have drowned.

Holloway spent her last night at a beach concert and then eating and dancing at Carlos 'n Charlie's bar and restaurant, which has donated $5,000 of a reward for information on her. She is described as a straight-A student who had a full scholarship to a premedical program at the University of Alabama.

The search for the Mountain Brook, Ala., teen began shortly after she failed to show up for her flight home the next morning. Police found her passport in her hotel room with her packed bags.

The Aruba government and local tourism organizations have offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to her rescue. Family and benefactors in Alabama have offered $30,000.

FOX News' Jonathan Serrie, Liza Porteus and The Associated Press contributed to this report.


Jug and Beth had it figured out but ... there was no way that the "powers that be" in Aruban were going to budge in regards to implicating Joran van der Sloot in the disappearance of Natalee ... the son of one of their own.

GEORGE "JUG" TWITTY, MISSING GIRL`S STEPFATHER: I don`t know. I mean, I asked him point blank, and Van Der Straaten said no. But I`ll tell you, Nancy, the deal is there`s -- the reason there`s no evidence was because the people didn`t do the right thing in the beginning. And I want the prosecutor or somebody to step up and say, Look, we made a mistake. We didn`t arrest them the second day, like we should have. We let them go for nine days. We gave them a chance to clean the car. We gave them a chance to hide everything, to set up everything, to set up their stories, point the fingers at the two black security guards.  

Somebody -- you know, that`s the reason there`s no evidence. Had they gone to the -- and impounded that car that day -- the FBI told us there was blood all in the car. The prosecutor said the FBI said there was blood in the car. But for some reason or another, when they sent it off, they say now it`s all cleaning fluid. Well, who knows. I know they had nine days to clean the car.

Jug Twitty Lashes Out at the Prosecutor
Wednesday, September 28, 2005


GEORGE "JUG" TWITTY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY’S STEPFATHER: Why she will not admit — and this was one of the things we got in a heated conversation about, in my meeting with her on August the 28 — why she will not admit she made a mistake in not arresting those boys the night after we brought them to them on a silver platter and let them go for nine days. Her deal was, We’re going to let them go. We’re going to try to, you know, be like catching a mouse in a trap. We’re going to track them. They got nothing. I mean, you know, they were going to tape their phones. They were going to do this. They were going to — they got nothing.

'Rita Cosby Live & Direct' for Dec. 5th
updated 6:18 a.m. PT, Tues., Dec. 6, 2005


BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY‘S MOTHER: ... Remember, within the first 24 hours, we knew who the suspects were. We knew the persons that Natalee were taken from Carlos and Charlie‘s. We knew the license plate of the gray Honda they placed her in. We knew the condition that Natalee was in. We knew the behavior or the conduct in which they engaged in with Natalee.

And then not only that, Jane, within 72 hours, we knew that their first story was totally fabricated, that within the first 72 hours, I faced a room of 12 -- at least 12 detectives, Aruban and Dutch detectives, and a lead detective, Dennis Jacobs (ph), and they knew after we reviewed video footage from the Holiday Inn casino lobby that my daughter had never been brought back to the Holiday Inn. They knew that those suspects were fabricating a story from day one.

<snipped>

TWITTY: Well, Jane, something that the family knew—and we have to keep reminding everyone—after 72 hours -- 72 hours—we knew definitively that these suspects were not telling the truth. We knew that my daughter had never been brought back to the Holiday Inn. Of course we were becoming frustrated. Who wouldn‘t, at this point? You know, we—and what was so unbelievable about this, is they knew this information and still chose to pursue the two security guards on June the 5th.

Yes, something on that order.  If the cross on the emblem is real and not just oddly left from the thread deteriorating, etc. it should be linked to something.  Maybe a particular boat even. 

And I do believe the hat in that you posted of Bernadina photo is actually navy blue although it appears black as I have seen other photos enlarged them, etc. and the larger the photo, the more the cap/hat looks navy in color rather than black.

Ahem...

I'm pretty sure we were told the whole reason they had to work with ALE was because of the work permit.  Surely it wouldn't turn out that they didn't have one.
