Natalee Case Discussion #824 9/06/09 - 10/12/09

[Keepthefaith]

So..Dolph helped Paulus & The Perps from the getgo???

Well let's think about it for a minute.......

Yes, we had vd Straten - Paulus' good buddy

We had Dennis Jacobs - Narcotics detective assigned to this case as lead Detective

We had Dolph in charge of this case behind the scenes and calling the shots for..............wasn't it almost a full year before we knew about him?

And who was in charge of the ALE staffing?  Who could have been making decisions as to who worked what cases?

Jeannette Richardson.

The tie between all of the above and the MEP party (Rudy Croes and Nel Oduber)?

Jan vd Straten and Jeannette Richardson sat on the 2005 election committe for the MEP party. 

For the love of God,Jeannette Richardson is a woman and she could be complicit in the cover-up of the rape and murder of an 18 yr-old girl..... She must feel real good about herself!Prayers for her children,If she has any!

THE RANGE ROVER RECORDINGS

Logic dictates that collaborating with enemy is only going to further the Aruban agenda that is preventing justice from prevailing for Natalee Holloway.  Considering his chosen profession ... I will give Peter Devries the benefit of the doubt that he comprehends.

ON THE RECORD WITH GRETA - FEBRUARY 8, 2008

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: All right. Now, when you showed that tape to Hans Mos, the chief prosecutor, what did he say to you?

PETER DE VRIES, DUTCH CRIME REPORTER:: Oh, he was, of course, very happy. And there was also the police commissioner, Dolph Richardson. And when he was looking at the tape, he said to me, Can you please pinch me in the arm because this is what we are waiting for.

ON THE RECORD WITH GRETA - APRIL 5, 2006

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: Why would Dompig want off this case? He has just gone on CBS 48 hours and said he was at a critical stage in this investigation. That is what they told 48 hours and he also said he believes it is alcohol and drugs. Making a rather profound announcement and then on Monday says he wants off.

JULIA RENFRO, EDITOR, ARUBA TODAY: Well, he actually said this last September. He was only suppose to be on the case for about six weeks. He was actually manhandling two positions by doing both the Noord district as well as the Oranjestad district. So, you know, this was a hefty handful here and Richardson who has been on the case since day one under Van der Straaten has continued on in Van der Straaten’s position. So it is really not as comical as people are making it out to be.

Arubans wary of fifth car trip in Holloway case
Monday 25 February 2008
 
Dutch tv crime reporter Peter R de Vries set up a fifth car trip to try and get Joran van der Sloot to confess to murdering US teenager Natalee Holloway after the Aruban public prosecution department said the original four recordings did not contain enough evidence, the Volkskrant reported on Saturday.
 
Aruban officials told De Vries and his team at a secret hotel meeting that the tapes did not contain enough new evidence, the paper says in a reconstruction of events surrounding the tv programme which claimed to solve the mystery of her disappearance.

Aruban public prosecutor Hans Mos told the paper he did not want to have anything to do with the extra car trip because he was afraid it could be construed as entrapment and blow the case.
 
The final car trip with Van der Sloot and his 'friend' Patrick van der Eem took place on January 29 in a borrowed car which had been hastily kitted out with recording equipment, the paper said. The original had already been sold.

During that trip, Van der Sloot said he was not sure if Natalee had been dead when a friend dumped her body at sea.  After the press release was issued claiming the case had been solved but without giving any further details, De Vries told the paper he hoped that Van der Sloot would again phone his 'friend'.
 
But website VKMag picked up a page on De Vries' website which identified Van der Sloot. The page had been prepared for release after the programme was aired on Sunday but had gone live by mistake.

Klaas ... The Aruban Justice Minister ... gave credit to the vile accusations spewed forth by the two psychics against the mother and stepfather of Natalee Holloway when it was implied that Young and Castillo's accusations should be investigated.

Natalee abused by stepfather Jug

This time, the local media has paid plenty of attention to the story of Dan Young and Kelly Castillo.

ORANJESTAD — Minister Rudy Croes (MEP) of Justice is of the opinion that the findings of the two American investigators Daniel Young and Kelly Castillo in the disappearance case of Natalee Holloway, must be seriously considered. The two assert that Natalee’s stepfather Jug Twitty has abused and impregnated her and that her mother Beth knew about it. The two also say that Natalee had died from an overdose two weeks after the night on the beach with Joran van der Sloot when she disappeared. “Joran is innocent”, said the investigators.

<snipped>

Croes is of the opinion that now that the case against the suspects Joran and the brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe has brought no results, the Public Prosecution must also consider other scenarios. Castillo and Young’s findings must therefore be seriously investigated, said the minister. “After Beth has been in Oprah’s program, it will be good to tell the other side of the story.” Oprah Winfrey has spent some time on the Holiday-matter in her show yesterday.

I am aware of the two "spiritualists" trying to get some publicity. As far as we can tell, they seem to be men who claim to have contacts with the dead, and who hold dialogues with the nether regions. None of the stories they put out measure up to the truth, and their assessments of Natalee and Beth is way off course and totally false.

They were brought to Aruba by a member of this government, and we all know what that means! As far as we are concerned. it's just an act put on by two "spiritualists" that claim to belong to "the Guiding Light", whatever that is or means.

"There is also a tape of Natalee and a guy named Michael at the Windam Hotel buying a necklace and having an argument day's, maybe weeks, after she had allegedly gone missing. All the while the country is spending money searching for her. The guy named Michael on the video tape, was a bouncer and Carlos and Charlies. He was tortured, murdered, and his body burnt the week of April 3rd while we were in Aruba. That story did not come to America either. We also know that Natalee called Beth about fifteen day's after her being "missing" from Michael's cell phone telling Beth again to go home, and that Natalee was not going with her."

Dan Young insists:
Jug Twitty is the father of the baby that Natalee was carrying
DIARIO Aruba
01/17/2008

ORANJESTAD(AAN): A press conference took place Wednesday morning related to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The press conference was given by two Americans, Dan Young and Kelly Castillo, who work in the spiritual world [mediums].

During an encounter of the press with the two people who work in the spiritual world, which surrounded the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, the press asked Dan Young and Kelly Castillo what really happened to the American youngster.

According to Young, the week of her disappearance, Natalee worked out a plan because she knew that her mom and dad were coming to Aruba.

Young continued to say that at a certain time in 2006, they brought police to a place without using a map. When police observed something remarkable, their mouths dropped and one of the police agents D.J. said that he would send agents with special dogs early the following morning, but this never happened.

Young also said that he has the names of various people who were with Natalee and the names of the different streets where she was.

He said that Natalee suffered an overdose in the hands of other people who are not Joran, Satish or Deepak.

According to Young, if this was not true, he would not know all the names and details.

Young explained that he understands everything about this case, because when he was younger, he also ran away from home.

According to Young, it’s true that Joran left Natalee at the beach, but afterwards other people came across Natalee and befriended her. They helped her hide in the San Nicolas area.

According to Young, it is practically impossible to think that a 17 year old boy such as Joran could be so good to cause an international mystery, after which he passed his exams easily.

Young said that when by coincidence he met Paul and Anita van der Sloot, he put his hand on Paul’s chest and said: “I know that your son didn’t do anything” and Paul and Anita started to cry.

Press asks Young of how Beth lied.

According to Young, she lied to hide what really was happening in their family back home. It was not the first time Natalee ran away from home [according to Young].

Joran himself said that Natalee said that her mom was like “Hitler”.

Young asked himself of how no one interrogated adequately the kids who were with Natalee in Aruba, nor the pilot of the private jet that brought Beth to Aruba.

Beth wants to put the attention on Joran and on an island that supposedly didn’t do enough, to distract the attention from herself and the situation in her home.

Beth believed that Anita and Paul van der Sloot at first also were helping to hide Natalee. Young continued to say that there’s a female person of high position who is no longer in Aruba who has much more information on this matter.

She is in the U.S. and knew for sure that Natalee was alive. This case became a big “cover up”.

Young also said that Beth and Jug were very afraid of the truth coming out. Young dared Jug and Beth to prove him wrong.

According to Young, he is willing to put his reputation and career on the like. Young said that Beth and especially Jug are in fear that the truth comes out because he [Jug] is the father of the baby that Natalee was carrying.

DIARIO asked Young the names of any of the people who knew the truth of Natalee’s disappearance and he mentioned Marian Ann Smith and someone name Minard.

Young also showed to the press the immigration document that clearly showed that Beth arrived in Aruba at 7:45 at night and not 11:00 as Beth has said.

DIARIO asked Young and Castillo some of the names of the local people who know about this case and Young said that one of them is locked up in KIA and that he spoke with Dolphi Richardson about this and also other authorities.

DIARIO asked Young how he believed that those who were with Natalee did not come forward with her to claim the reward money.

Young explained that because people had seen what happened to Joran, Deepak and Satish and the fact that the young woman died of an overdose at a certain point, was sufficient reason for them not to come forward.

Despite everything that was brought up by Young and Castillo, DIARIO’s point of view remains unchanged, which is that Joran, Satish and Deepak are those who really know what happened to Natalee Holloway.

Aruba Ports Authority loses one million case

October 9, 2009, 14:16 (GMT -04:00)


 
Container Ship Zim Houston III collided in 2005, a pilot boat and the quay of the container port. The damage ran into the millions.


ORANGE CITY - Aruba Ports Authority (APA) has a civil suit last Wednesday against the company lost MS Austria. The Port Authority claimed some 2 million florin of the company, which in turn suggested a counterclaim of $ 500,000. Both demands were rejected by the Court. Director Alfonso Boekhoudt APA informs that disagrees with the decision and "will certainly appeal.

In March 2005 there was a heavy collision in the container port of Oranjestad. Upon entry into a port slowed the container ship Zim Houston III and not speed collided with great force against the quay, at the place where a new tug was moored. The small boat was swept by the great ship disappeared and half under water. The pilot boat got here irreparably damaged. The blow to the quay wall was so loud that a large crack formed and the walls of the building of the coastal station were damaged. The main tube of the water supply of the WEB was also heavily damaged. The material damage by experts from the port authorities are estimated at 3.8 million florin. This concerns the largely destroyed pilot boat, the restoration of the quay wall and a wall of a building of APA, rental of hangar vessels from abroad and the purchase of a new replacement vessel. The pilot boat was destroyed only three years in business in the Aruban port.

The container ship was then detained for some time pending a bank guarantee for the settlement of the damage. The captain of the ship because it was blamed for causing the accident. After a bank guarantee was issued, the ship should leave a few weeks later. Attempts to settle, were unsuccessful and therefore Aruba Ports Authority in 2005 began a lawsuit against the German parent company MS Austria. Despite the ruling of the Court of First Instance has APA hopeful the appeal. "We believe that the Court did not take into account existing case law and new legislation," said director Boekhoudt. "If a settlement can still not be affected, then we have a long way to go legal." Should the Port Authority in the Common Court again in the heads, then APA is prepared to go in appeal to the Supreme Court, as shows the determined director know.

Mike and Mike Eman formateur de Meza Werleman talking to Derrick, Executive Director of Finance

ORANGE CITY - Formateur Mike Eman said to have been unpleasantly surprised yesterday when during the conversation with Derrick Werleman, Executive Director of Finance, it appeared that over the deficit in the budget starting at 2009 indicated an additional deficit of as much as 97 miloen florin is. "That means an additional 97 million have to borrow," said Eman. The shortages are the result of additional government revenue was much lower than estimated. The fact that this additional government deficit would have kept silent and would not have acted in the past blamed the formateur election time. "Transparency was probably not optimal in that time. Was this done in a different period than we had learned much earlier. But because it was a sensitive time we did not know everything. We now know that Finance Department had sent a letter to the minister in which he expressed his concerns. The letter we had not seen. Did we have seen it then we probably also an issue of it during the elections. Now we get this letter as formateur is to see and we know exactly what the concerns were and what was recommended, "said Eman, who adds that there have been indications from the Department of Finance, which would increase the deficit and unpack that a little group of confidants Minister Nilo Swaen were in the hole that finding how they could absorb. "One of the options which have been thought out loud, was the adaptation of the rate of BBO" said Eman.

UPDATE 1-Valero won't rule out alternatives for any plants

 
By Erwin Seba

HOUSTON, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Leading U.S. refiner Valero Energy Corp will not rule out 'strategic alternatives' including possible shutdowns at any of its 16 refineries in current economic downturn, a company spokesman said on Thursday.

The company is not necessarily willing to sell any refineries, but strategic alternatives would include possible refinery or unit shutdowns to contend with crushed demand in the recession, said spokesman Bill Day.

'We wouldn't rule out strategic alternatives at any of our refineries,' Day told Reuters in an interview.

Valero's announcement comes days after fellow independent

refiner Sunoco Inc began shutting down a refinery in the New Jersey suburbs east of Philadelphia.

Previously, Valero used the term strategic alternatives when it put a refinery up for sale.

Chairman and Chief Executive Bill Klesse reiterated to employees in a memo this week that Valero was still aggressively pursuing strategic alternatives for refineries in Paulsboro, New Jersey, Delaware City, Delaware, and Aruba, according to sources familiar with the document.

The 235,000 bpd Aruba refinery has been on the block since 2007.

'There's been no movement on a deal at that refinery,' said a source familiar attempts to sell it.

Aruban officials have said PetroChina is a would-be buyer of the refinery. Petrobras has also been identified as a potential buyer.

Valero has never confirmed the identity of possible buyers of any of its refineries.

To cut costs at Paulsboro, Day said, Valero is offering early retirement packages to 100 employees out of a refinery workforce of 550.

The Paulsboro refinery is in the same New Jersey county as the refinery Sunoco is shutting.

Valero's struggle illustrates how much U.S. refining economics have changed since the recession began in the fall of the 2008.

Twenty-two months ago, Klesse identified 12 of 18 refineries Valero owned at that time as 'core' to the company's future and which Valero would invest in.

Among those core plants was the 210,000 bpd Delaware City refinery, where Valero recently shut a coker and gasifier unit. laying off workers on those units.

Rumors continue to swirl the Delaware City refinery may be shut indefinitely sometime in 2010. Day said again on Thursday Valero has no plans to shut the plant.

Valero shut the Aruba refinery in July as a temporary measure during the downturn. It became an indefinite shutdown in late August as market conditions failed to improve.

At its Corpus Christi, Texas, refinery Valero has shut a gasoline unit and a coking unit. The company has also reduced production levels at other refineries.

Day said legislation passed earlier this year by the U.S. Congress to reduce carbon emissions makes the long-term outlook for independent refiners like Valero doubtful.

Valero has previously said the legislation could cost the company between $6 billion and $7 billion, equal to Valero's earnings in 2006, one of the company's best years.
