Night, all.  Going to check out FP and hit the hay.  I don't have a lot of time to post, but am keeping up with reading most days.   I hope to see some positive resolution for Natalee's family.  Maybe it will be soon...

Night.

Thanks, I read a bit    Hubba crap, etc and saved the link.  I'm not sure how much of that I can take though, lol

It gets tough..they would like for me to go completely away,but I can't stand the things they say about Natalee and Beth..if you do have time read a little and you'll see what I have to put up with..it's worth it tho if Natalee gets justice.

Speaking of BF...seems like when one of those posters go another pops up with a new nic..or maybe an old nic taking turns with nics..lol..who knows?  

True, could be multiple nics.  I'll read some more over at RWV tomorrow. I don't want to give myself nightmares tonight  

     

[klaasend]

I think I'm going to call it a night too.  See you all tomorrow.  I really hope we hear more about the reinterrigations going on.  Maybe Jossy will publish something.

GOODNIGHT ALL!

Thank Leslie for the news.

According to the Amigo Expectations are that effective May, Joran's book will also be for sale in the bookstores in Aruba (Van Dorp) and Curacao.

From the article Joran says he was on the beach for 3 hours with Natalee.  I was confused yesterday whether it was from the time they left CnC's.  "In the book, he tells about Natalee’s drinking behaviour and gives details about them making love on the beach, which lasted for three hours".

The answer on what had happened must be somewhere  

ORANJESTAD/AMSTERDAM – In the book ‘The Case of Natalee Holloway’ that was published today in the Netherlands , Joran van der Sloot admits that he has probably committed the biggest mistake of his life by leaving the American girl on the beach by herself.    

He has also lied about that night on the beach to the police and realizes that due to his falsehood, he has lost his credibility.  He knows that he is still the main suspect in the case and understood that the OM in Aruba will soon, maybe next month already decide whether they will proceed to prosecution.  Neither the Dutch- and Aruban police, nor the FBI has found a clue on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.  There is still an active team of Dutch police on the island.   The book has 351 pages and is written by and for journalist Zvezdana Vukojevic, who works for Nieuwe Revu.  She has spent some time in Aruba with Joran van der Sloot to visit all the locations that are of importance.  Joran van der Sloot told her about his life before he met Natalee, his time in prison and the police interrogations.

Two years ago, well into the night on May 30th, the then 18-year old American Natalee Holloway disappeared in Aruba after having been on the beach with the then 17-year old Joran van der Sloot.  At first he told the police that he had dropped Natalee off at her hotel, while actually, he had left her behind on the beach.  This lie caused him to spend three months behind bars.    

MAKING LOVE  

In the book, he tells about Natalee’s drinking behaviour and gives details about them making love on the beach, which lasted for three hours.  He, together with his friends Deepak and Satish Kalpoe met Natalee and the other American students with whom Natalee was visiting the island, in the Excelsior Casino of the Holiday Inn-hotel.  Natalee wanted to go with the boys.  And even though he had an exam the next day, he had himself and Natalee dropped off at the beach.  “She wanted more, but I had no condoms with me.  She then fell asleep.”  He admits that he didn’t even know her name and had preferred making love to her friend Ruth, who was much prettier.    

EXCUSES  

Van der Sloot also mentioned possibilities that have not been investigated yet, like a declaration about Natalee’s stepfather and the unknown male DNA found on Natalee’s toothbrush.  He talked straightforwardly about his own behaviour and apologizes to the parents of Natalee for his lying declarations.  Especially during the first days of his detention, he lied about almost everything.  He also admits that he has made mistakes.  He says that he will have to learn to live with the mistake he made by leaving Natalee alone on the beach for the rest of his life.  He has trouble with that.  

TRUTH

At the Publisher’s Luitingh-Sijthoff in Amsterdam yesterday, he told many journalists before the camera that with the book, he wants to give his view on the Holloway-case, because after all the publicity this case has produced, it looks like everybody knows everything but the truth about Joran and Natalee.  Zvezdana Vukojevic wrote the book based on interviews with Joran van der Sloot.  She also used notes in Joran’s diary and she was allowed access to the police files.  In July of last year, Sijthoff received via literary agent Paul Sebes the exclusive Dutch rights for the book.
