RUMORS OF BREAKING NEWS # 4

[bamajo]

I do think this is a critical point in the case.  If the reports are true that the specialists brought in are experts in interrogation, if these kids are gonna crack, it's gonna happen now!

I agree with the talking head this morning who said the evidence is important but these "discussions" happening now are critical!

which is EXACTLY why VDS's dad wanted to talk to him...because he knows the expert "knee cap bashers" are on the scene and he needs to give little Horan "tips"

i agree with kerin aswell on this one!!!

LAST DITCH EFFORT OF A DESPERATE FATHER

AGREED!!!

Kerin:

   Yes, 240 hours seems just about right. But I repeat: why do you--or anyone here--think they are doing this? Why don't they just employ the usual law enforcement locution of "pursuing several promising leads"? Why the promises of closure? Don't they see how foolish this makes them seem? And what is the point?

Honestly I think it is a combination of them having different tactics (right or wrong) of dealing with crime AND I think there are a lot of things being relayed incorrectly/misunderstood because of language barriers.

   I had read somewhere that the Aruban police force was trained at Quantico. Which suggests that they follow American investigative procedures.

they dont have a yacht!

[writenow]

Were any of you in Aruba aware of Joran's "hot car" that Geraldo just talked about on the View?

[Sleeks]

Like I said earlier [/b]GREAT FICTION that middle class civil servant BS

[pinemeadows]

Just heard on Fox that the spokesperson for the prosecution is going to attempt to block the request by Joran's dad to see him.

And yes, with Fox lately, "new" means that it didn't happen last month.  I am really tired for the "news alert" system too....sheesh....used to be that really meant something.

Nothing in Renfro's e-mail constitutes a denial of a personal friendship between elder VDS and the chief investigator.

If the government can refute this claim, they should do so very quickly.

somebody said they had a yacht.  i remember reading it.

[dragonfly]

for those of you w/ vast connections in aruba, if VDS does work for the gov't, there should be a public record of his pay...can someone get a hold of that?

I am sure there is some "family money" somewhere (maybe he married rich?). I mean no middle class families I know own a yacht.

Just because he is a civil servant doesn't mean there aren't money and connections.  He's been on the island for 10 years and they are Dutch nationals and this is a Dutch government?  What do we know about this family before they came to Aruba?  There could be "old money" or long term family connections.  I really don't know any "civil servants" who make less than a cab driver and still have a yacht.

People:

This will never be solved, will be "swept under the rug" unless additional pressure is put on.  

I know the son's mothers would NOT want to receive a couple of thousand phone calls from mothers of daughters around the world...BUT...it would certainly leave them impacted enough to "chat with their son(s) about decency and honor" regarding poor Natalee's family....

However - did ANYONE besides myself notice that the parents are nowhere to be seen, not wanting to be "tied" to this "scandalous thing" against their "innocent son"????  Personally, I am outraged that the mothers of the "boys" have lacked anything that slightly resembles a conscious...hope I am not alone.

I don't believe any disagreement exists concerning contacting the public officials...

I will post any email addresses I find for any of these people for those who do not want to personally talk (as in voice) to the participants of this great tragedy.



::Edit:: You may post where folks can find numbers of individuals, but please do not post the actual phone numbers. thank you. ::Edit::

I think that "dash" said that they had a yacht...almost positive

[pinemeadows]

Hey, has anyone heard ANYTHING from the two brothers parents???  I know it has been clarified that they do NOT have a rental car agency, but have never heard a single word of protest or anything from them....where the heck are they?  Who are they??

Why are we not hearing anything about the brothers parents.  They seem very quiet to me.

In an earlier message to me, ARUBA TODAY'S editor said that the Police Commissioner and van der Sloot's father "were not best friends" as reported by Geraldo...

[waitingtoknow]

I suggest that nobody call the suspects' families....not only do I think that they probably have changed their phone number or disconnected it due to the calls that they are most likely getting from the press....but I am assuming that if you call in the manner that you are suggesting, they could file charges on you for harrassing phone calls.

Just a thought
