David Kock made some interesting comments on CNN's site about timeline info

From that site:
"Paul Van Der Sloot, who is relatively new to the bench, was arrested Thursday, while the other four have been in custody longer."

Wonder what bench they're talking about.

I just read this on Fox.com: In an anecdote that illustrated the insular world of Aruba, Justice Minister Croes said Paul van der Sloot had recently visited him in his office after failing to become a judge, apparently seeking a position in Croes' department. Van der Sloot had also taught the justice minister's daughter.
So I'm assuming he didn't 'pass the bar' as in the US

He had previously worked for the JD, so this doesn't sound unusual. According to Arubagirl, Rudy Croes isn't even a lawyer. PVDS is.

In Aruban law, is DNA enough? I wouldn't think so. I know many have said on TV "no body, no charges" But there also has been a report that in the Netherlands a case was tried without a body. Perhaps Arubans have not made that scary leap of trying someone for murder based on circumstantial evidence.

Yes we have a case like that. Altough I had to dig into the internet
Several years ago a 37 year old lady disappeared and her husband denied everything. No body was found but he was charged for murder. He had a false alibi. The police found blood in her husbands car, he sabotized the cell phone one day before she disappeared, he tried to escape to Thailand with a false passport with 50.000 dollar of cash money...

thanks Edwin, I thought I had read something like that, and that was the case.

Wonder why tomorrow?  Maybe they have intense interrogations that are going on today...hmmmmmmm.

One of the reasons I get addicted to breaking news stories is the chance to watch the process of the MSM - with all the discussion and debate here, we know much more than the media who are reporting and can see when they mess up the facts, etc. Helps to keep me mindful on the stories where I know nothing ....

And La Cavaliere - I am so missing the Carib right now - spend time in a small village in Jamaica and have been so "homesick" for it - all the views of the beach, etc really get to me. If you haven't been to one of the islands, go ... and go somewhere where you can stay outside of the All Inclusives so you really get the flavour - amazing! (and if anyone needs Jamaica tips, I'm happy to point them to the discussion groups with the best real JA info -just PM)

Well, we covered that didn't we!!

[waitingtoknow]

Since these kids are such big fans og G-Unit and 50 Cent, I think we need to send 50 down there to interrogate these guys.  He would probably scare the crap out of those kids.  Anybody have 50's phone number?

I would give you that number, but we aren't allowed to post personal phone numbers on here.....ha ha

Wonder why tomorrow?  Maybe they have intense interrogations that are going on today...hmmmmmmm.

I wonder if they'll put them all together again and see what falls out...

Those records, Kock said, show Joran Van Der Sloot called Deepak Kalpoe about 2:40 a.m. on the morning Holloway disappeared.

Natalee left CnC at 1.30 am, it takes 10-15 min to reach Marriott beach areas...that gives Joran about an hour to stroll with Nat, chat, argue, and and or maybe have fun, and either left her for death or walked her back towards the board walk.

In that call, according to Deepak Kalpoe's statements, Joran Van Der Sloot told him he had left Holloway on the beach and was walking home. About 40 minutes later, Kock said -- about the time it would take him to walk home -- Joran Van Der Sloot text-messaged Deepak Kalpoe to tell him he had arrived.

That would be 3.40 now, which is about right for a 40 min walk.  Now the thing is ... is it all true? That would leave no time to Panic, getting Paulus involved, calling SGC, and picking up the body and disposing of it...need more info...because that leaves about 2 hours to start school at Aruba Internation School.

This might be what Joran told Deepak - it might not be what actually happened.

I hope Depak and Satish are released too.  My "gut" tells me they are innocent.

[Angiex911dsptchr]

Well, we covered that didn't we!!

LOL   We sure did!

[la_cavalière]

Croes will be released tomorrow!

I won the fastest fingers contest! What's my prize?

[Getagrip]

My guess is that SC is not involved any further than perhaps selling drugs and/or receiving an email, or being party to a conversation with one or more of the detainees.  On that assumption, there was enough reasonable suspicion to detain him and interrogate him, but not to hold him much longer if they keep getting the same answers from him.
