Paul Van der Sloot Involved In Natalee Holloway Disappearance
After discussions with two independent sources on Aruba this evening, it would appear that a strong working theory by some close to the investigation is that Paulus Van der Sloot was directly involved with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, up to and including disposal of her body after the fact.

This could explain Joran Van der Sloot's unusual interaction with Satish and Deepak Kalpoe during interrogation, as first reported here.

That interaction involved Joran Van der Sloot changing his story immediately after being called a liar by one of the Kalpoe brothers for stating that he had picked him up at the beach.

I asked questions involving a Scared Monkey's report suggesting the Kalpoe brothers and Steve Croes may be released - neither source felt that was likely. In the opinion of one, "the boys are in this up to their ears," and another contact suggested while there will be a court hearing tomorrow, it was not expected that anyone would be released.

Additionally, in a refreshing change, individuals close to the currently ongoing independent search seemed to praise the co-operation of the Aruban Government, as well as the FBI, suggesting that no stone would be left unturned and all co-operation possible would be extended to gain maximum benefit from the independent search.

It was also suggested that police and FBI would be party to the search, as well as supporting it, and that from initial interaction with EquuSearch, they seemed like an incredibly competent group with an impressive capability.

The search could include up to eight divers, as well as resources capable of handling a ground search. Recent fly-overs over several days have been used to identify areas and locations where a body might have been concealed given the last known location of Natalee Holloway and the presumed time line available for that purpose.


Just read this on Riehl World.

All three (Joran, Deepak,Satish) know that they did something criminally wrong. Otherwise the stories wouldn't change. I don't have any good enough friends for whom I would take a kidnapping / murder rap.

If they let the Kalpoe brothers go, I'm going to be very pissed.

Sorry...but I have to say...I can't stand O'Reilly!!

I'm with you there, klaasend.

me three, he makes the odd good point but I remember when old Bill did real good hard hitting investigative journalism, then again I remember when 60 Minutes did the same, instead of shilling books for Viacom

back to the topic,

now another lawsuit possibility

what if it turns out that Natalee was not dead immediately, that the incompetence of the Aruban police meant a window of time to save her was lost and you could be prove it, now that's the kicker, could you sue the police for it, hmmm, maybe not, they might be immune from that kind of prosecution.......

I know, Arubagirl, but it still humors me, for some reason!  He's going to need a lot of God in his life, to get over this ordeal.

I like that in Aruba, the prisoners are given nothing but the Bible, actually.  I think our prisoners in the US get waaaay too many privileges, IMO.

Hee. Duly noted.

On a more somber note - that Hasibokos report says that police are now treating the case as a murder investigation rather than the search and rescue they had been.  Could that help explain the absence of Beth Holloway Twitty in the media today,  if it's true?  I'm still hoping against hope that these boys got in over their heads and Natalee is still alive....

Greta just mentioned that Mrs. Kalpoe said they seized Deepak's computer.

Hey...when is this conference supposed to be??


AND....I was cruising other boards last night and I found a *very* interesting reference to an Aruban newspaper article (no link provided) that said one of the Fisherman's Huts in the Lover's Lane area had been broken into the night Natalee went missing.....

and an anchor, rope etc had been stolen.....

Any of our Aruban friends hear anything about that???  Someone speculated that SGC was haning out on the Tattoo that night since it doesn't sail on Sundays....and if things went wrong, he might have been pulled in to help.  The poster also said that the Tattoo had two smaller boats, a dinghy and something else....

Anyway....found it all curious....obviously completely a rumor, and most likely wrong.

I saw it on riehl world view   it was surpost to be in a newpaper   say that they thought the steve guy did the breaking and entering

[absolut]

Hey could "Betty" be Steve Croes?

Unless someone confessed.

He can be quite a tool at times.....pretty much all the time.

[cancon]

you know that pond that Alan Colmes visited

I could not believe that that pond had not yet been searched and dredged - would sonar work in a pond like that.......

I recall that on his tickle profile it had a slot for him to list his religion and he replied with "None...sowwy!"

I'd almost say that he might become a Baptist before all this is over, but, I'm not so sure that he will, given his apparent confidence that no one will ever find Natalee.

SM kicks @$$

Yes it does...and who might you be, precious?  Welcome to the board!

[klaasend]

Not if you believe that it was sent to a friend of Wonder Woman in the states!

The brothers still obstructed Justice and several other things in dutch law, I don't think they will just walk. If she dead the gov't will want as many and as much as they can get for each.

Nancy Grace vs Geraldo

Jeez. The devil and the deep blue sea. They're both a couple of goobers aka "nuts". IMHO. Whoever loves em can have em.  They both get on my last nerve. Greta's never been my fave but at least she acts like she's got some sense for goodness sakes.

And Shep... who I used to like for his sense of humor.. acts a little too gleeful about this whole thing that is shattering so many lives.

I'm running out of channels....  

[arubagirl]

Absolut, you call an Aruban boy by a female name, you put your life in danger. Unless 'Betty' is some kind of Sranan Tongo slang that I know nothing about.

[HannieC]

I`m yealous of you guys that seem to have al the networks...

I have only CNN international here in holland and they do a #$$# job
to cover this case. It`s CNN Honkong or the stockmarkets....pffff

[Kipster]

>> I remember when old Bill did real good hard hitting investigative journalism

Was it 'Inside Edition' or 'A Current Affair' that he hosted? More like 'National Enquirer' journalism IMO.

names had already been changed to protect the innocent by then? 3rd or 4th or more pass.
