A fourth man, party boat DJ Steve Croes, is being held under the same conditions.
The fifth man, Paul van der Sloot (search) — the father of 17-year-old Joran — was being held on suspicion of complicity to pre-meditated murder, complicity to kidnapping and murder and kidnapping. Under the Aruban system, complicity is a lesser charge.

KELLY: Actually, there's a rather large mix still. I mean, I know Joran's attorneys have been stating that he doesn't know this individual, which I have no reason to doubt. But I've also been told that GVC has involvement with other people that are involved with the three principal suspects.
So if you sort of bridge the gap there and look at Croes, you can try to speculate a little bit there as to what's going on.VAN SUSTEREN:
Then it's bizarre that this lawyer would represent both Steve Croes and GVC because at least here in the United States, I think most lawyers would say that there is a potential for conflict of interest and a lawyer shouldn't be representing both.KELLY: I think
that's right. But you know, when you're talking about the first 48 hours, and you know, looking for counsel right way, I think that's what happened. Once she reviews the dossier, she herself may decide — and you know, rightfully so —
there is a conflict there and have to advise him to seek other counsel.VAN SUSTEREN: I mean, things are obviously done differently in Aruba, but you would at least hear — the prosecutor would give everybody the heads-up in court that
there's a potential conflict. You wouldn't even get the dossier to the lawyer so another lawyer can be brought in before there's that problem.
KELLY: Well, I don't know if it's the prosecutor's obligation, especially down there. I think it's the obligation of the attorney representing the client to make that determination. -

Joran's book: P228
I had reserved my holidays and didn’t know about the search for me. I have been placed under pressure by someone from Bubali, two inspectors. They wanted me to make a statement. You ask me why I’ve waited with making a statement. First of all two guards had been arrested who proved to be innocent. The person that worked on the boat and who was
a DJ (Steve Croes) also didn’t have anything to do with it(…)

I hear shango..
Steve Croes told me he acted plain stupid.. overheard a conversation.. and was arrested.. lost his job... He was never involved.. the authorities firmly believe that..
The ones further away from this case are now steve croes, micky John and Abraham Jones..On 6/17 Steve Croes was arrested. Steve Croes said that he did not know the Kalpoe
brothers and that he overheard them talking and so he wanted to be a nice guy
and that is why he made up the story. But again,we have seen pictures of Steve with these guys.
STEVE CROES:
There is reason to believe that Mr. Croes was involved in the lie because he was at Carlos and Charlies on that fateful night. One source close to this story claims that Satish was taken home before Joran was picked up and that the three boys were in fact Deepak, Steve and Joran.
This source claims that Steve was at the cyber cafe when Joran called Deepak. Most agree that Mr. Croes supplied the XTC which was used to lower Natalee's inhibitions and get her into the car with the young men.posted by Breezy at 6/02/2005 11:14:00 AM

Suspect Steve Croes To Sue Beth Twitty
http://thepoliticalteen.com/video/jossycroes.wmvKARL PENHAUL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Talking to Stephen Croes's uncle, he says he's a quiet guy. We went down to the pier and talked to Marcus Williams, he's boss of the Tattoo Party Boat. He described Steve Cruz as a model employee, but he also did tell us that
Steve Croes is well able to pilot boats and to drive boats. He also said that he believes that Steve Croes knows one of the other three suspects in custody, because they met at one of the Internet cafes.

I have been told by an extremely reliable source that Steve Croes is protected by the Mafia. This is why he can't be touched. If he talks, he dies. I have often wondered who the ALE had in their corner who cover up things. We need to have another look at Edwin "Papito" Commenencia. I hear his "hands are very dirty".
Link with info on Edwin Commencia. He was one of the police who was looking for the late night jogger. I wonder if they found him and disposed of since no one really knew who this jogger was/is? Or did they give a name or initials?
