I found a tiny bit more of casino video at abc. It appears that Joran may be communicating with the man sitting next to Natalee and the girl next to him points to him afterwards. Then Joran turns and talks to her. Also I believe this confirms what we all thought and that is not Guido. No question once again in this short clip they are hiding the identity of that man next to Natalee. Many of the stills his eyes and other features are blacked out.

Suspect's release no surprise to Natalee Holloway's parents, lawyer says
Posted by MIKE CASON December 08, 2007 7:36 AM

The parents of Natalee Holloway were not surprised Friday at the release of Joran van der Sloot by Aruban authorities because their attorney had warned them not to believe there was new evidence in her disappearance, the attorney said.

Attorney John Q. Kelly of New York said he expects an announcement later this month that there will be no prosecution of van der Sloot or the other two suspects, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, who were released Dec. 1. Kelly represents Beth Holloway and Dave Holloway.

"The report of significant new incriminating evidence was misleading," Kelly said. "It was the same evidence or lack of evidence they had from the very beginning."

Kelly said his clients would not comment on van der Sloot's release. Telephone messages left Friday with the Holloways were not returned.

Authorities re-arrested van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers Nov. 21 after finding what they described as "new incriminating evidence" in Natalee Holloway's disappearance.

"It's all a dog and pony show," Kelly said. "I guess they thought it would be good PR to show they were still working on the case. But it amplifies the fact that they mishandled it from the beginning and continue to mishandle it."

Natalee Holloway was last seen May 30, 2005, leaving a bar in Aruba with van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers.

All three men have denied a role in the Mountain Brook High School graduate's disappearance. Van der Sloot has said he left her alone on a beach that night but does not know what happened to her.

Van der Sloot's attorney, Joe Tacopina, told The Associated Press on Friday, "It's been a long road, and we're very relieved and feel very much vindicated."

No trace of Natalee Holloway has been found despite extensive searches.

Kelly said Dave Holloway hopes a new search off the coast of Aruba will yield answers. A private boat owner is providing divers and equipment to conduct the search in deeper waters than authorities previously searched.

"It might yield some additional information," Kelly said. "It might at least give them some closure if they're able to bring Natalee's body home."

Kelly said the search boat has been delayed by bad weather but is expected to arrive in Aruba by Wednesday.

Kelly said it is likely that Friday's release of van der Sloot ends chances for a criminal prosecution.

"I'm sure by the end of the year the prosecutor will announce he's decided not to try the suspects on the evidence he has," Kelly said. "Since clearly they don't have enough to hold them, they don't have enough to prosecute them."

ART WOOD, FORMER SECRET SERVICE AGENT: Absolutely. Absolutely. There's a lot that Americans can do through the State Department. I want to remind everybody that Natalee Holloway was a U.S. citizen. Once the Aruban authorities are done investigating this case, the FBI can still conduct an investigation.

I would like to know,once and for all,IF this is true.
Hi Monkeys

Klaas:
I would like to know too.  I'm affraid if we ask 3 different people we'll get 3 different answers.
 
Got stuck on the last thread.I hear you Klaas.

So does everyone think that is Paulus next to Natalee at the casino? Have her friends been asked if that was him? Has he ever been asked if that was him?

I don't know if her friends have been asked.  I certainly wouldn't believe HIM if he were asked.
