Natalee Holloway; Breaking Aruba News - Croes Released - Now Paul Van der Sloot

 

As reported earlier and now confirmed by CNN, Steven Croes will be released tomorrow at 1:oo pm because of lack of evidence according to his attorney.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (CNN) — Steve Croes, a disc jockey who was arrested in connection with the disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, will be released Monday because of a lack of evidence against him, his attorney, Eleni Lotterhoman, said Sunday following a court hearing.

There was no word yet on how the judge may have ruled in the detention of the other four suspects.

Croes, 26, worked on a party boat on the island.

Sunday’s hearing was postponed from Saturday because the judge being flown in from the nearby island of Curacao was delayed, said David Kock, defense attorney for 18-year-old Satish Kalpoe, one of the suspects.

So far it appears from sources that the other four will remain in custody, but unconfirmed.

The other suspects include Kalpoe’s 21-year-old brother, Deepak Kalpoe; their 17-year-old friend, Joran Van Der Sloot; and his father, Paul Van Der Sloot, 53.

AP: Judge in Aruba Orders Release of Party Boat DJ Held in Natalee Holloway Disappearance

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) - A judge ordered Aruban police Sunday to release a party boat disc jockey held in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, saying authorities did not have enough evidence against him, the man’s lawyer said.

“The judge agreed there is not enough proof he was involved to keep holding him,” said Croes’ lawyer, Eleni Lotter-Homan.

Suspect’s Father to Be Released

******************************************************************

The judge ordered the father of Dutch teen Joran van der Sloot and party boat disc jockey Steve Gregory Croes to be released in the absence of sufficient evidence to continue holding them. The other three suspects will remain in custody for another eight days, according to a court clerk.

The lawyer representing Paul van der Sloot, whose arrest has garnered the most attention, said Sunday that his client has waived his right not to testify against his son. Under Aruban law, parents have the option to refuse to testify against their children. In waiving that right, Paul van der Sloot is essentially agreeing to take the stand.

From The Birmingham News, Suspect’s father released in Aruba case

The father of a Dutch suspect arrested in the disappearance of an Alabama teenager was freed from jail on Sunday, hours after a judge ordered the release of a party boat disc jockey also held in the case.

Paul van der Sloot, a high-ranking justice official studying to be a judge on the Dutch Caribbean island, had been arrested Thursday as a suspect for collaborating in a crime with his 17-year-old son, according to his lawyer.

“A little bit of the nightmare clouds are now disappearing,” van der Sloot’s wife, Anita, told The Associated Press. “The truth will always come forward. From the beginning, I trusted everything would be fine.”

      Does this now blow the theory that DJ provided the vessel for dumping the body?
      Who is Lorenzo? Was he instrumental? What of the blue van?
      The sword will fall on whom? Please clarify.

      It’s cruel hard to say that, but it was horrible to see when she run to swim @ Malmok, and Joran tried to stop her (unsuccessfully), and she drowned…

    4. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 2:44 pm

      Thank you, Chimes. I was there but did not keep track of threads. I have been especially attentive to psychic, Simian, Checkme, Monkey, etc.

    5. Peter on June 26th, 2005 3:37 pm

      Van Der Sloot has WAIVED his right NOT to testify against his son. Meaning, it’s possible the father will testify against Joran.

    6. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 3:39 pm

      Peter, how do you know?

    7. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 3:40 pm

      Chimes, who is Lorenzo? Is it the party who transported her body?

    8. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 3:44 pm

      What appears to be the case:
      Natalee went to an apt. (Joran’s?) or another residence to party. She was drugged or accepted a potent drug; was raped, fought, was killed- accidently or not.
      The body needed to be discarded. Father was consulted; he or another party disposed of body.

    9. marg on June 26th, 2005 3:47 pm

      just heard on Fox that the father Waived his right not to testify.

    10. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 3:51 pm

      That means he may tell the truth???

    11. Lori on June 26th, 2005 3:55 pm

      it keeps on getting thicker…..

    12. S on June 26th, 2005 3:57 pm

      REALITY: The single most important piece of evidence is always the body. The police have no other evidence, so far i am aware, to bring ANYONE to trial. By now, Natalie is probably fish food. However, we will continue to see more hystrionics because the wealthy, 4.0 version of Barbie did a very stupid thing. People who feel they’re special think that nothing will ever happen to them. American corporate media LOVES when this sort of think happens because there’s lots and lots of money to be made off of this family’s narcissism….. millions folks… millions. Natalie is not “everbody’s daughter”…. PLEASE!!!! I guess I missed out on the chartered flight to a Caribbean Island, all expenses paid, with spending money so I could get hammered at the club of my choice, and jump into a car driven by 2 men I’ve NEVER met, so I can start sucking face with one that I’ve know a couple of days. What’s at the end of a college education…a breast implant operation followed by a recovery period in the Amalfi Coast? Other missing daughters don’t SEEM to be able to get all of Southern America on their knees to pray to their very special invisible man- an invisible man who’s of course better than anybody else’s invisible man. 2,100 reports of missing adolescents come into the FBI, per DAY, yet none of those adolescents make it to CNN, Fox, NBS, MSN, Larry King…. let alone Aruba!
      Yes, it’s truly unfair what happens to blondes in our country. This REALLY belongs on Saturday Night Live…. It’d be hysterical!

    13. Lori on June 26th, 2005 3:57 pm

      I heard cores, originally,voluntarily went to police to state he saw the three drop natalle off at the HI. He’s still guilty in my book - still involved. There is no way in hell I’m lying for a friend.

    14. Lori on June 26th, 2005 3:59 pm

      sorry….croes

      Sarcasm, judgment, or possibly envy?
      Barbie?? Stereotyping leads to dead ends in understanding life, others, yourself.
      Yes, Natalee could be anyone’s child– those who are parents or who care for children understand what this means.

    16. Mike D on June 26th, 2005 4:05 pm

      Well written concerned. She is anyones daughter

    17. traveller on June 26th, 2005 4:07 pm

      Meaning, it’s possible the father will testify against Joran>>>

      Peter, not necessary AGAINST, it could in his son’s favour, whcih I believe it’s goinf to happen.

    18. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 4:07 pm

      SSays- my last statement was for you. Do not be close-minded about people who have much. They are no happier than you.
      And- This is not SNL material, even they have standards!

    19. chimes on June 26th, 2005 4:10 pm

      Lorenzo may or could be another witness. Many question(ed) in 1188 who he is.

    20. larry on June 26th, 2005 4:11 pm

      I can’t believe the “Barbie” comment. I have a 24 year old daughter and she’s beautiful just like Natalee. This could be anyone’s child and our thoughts need to be with her family and this horrible time they are going through.

    21. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 4:32 pm

      Chimes, why the name Lorenzo?
      Is it cryptic?

    22. Peggy on June 26th, 2005 4:35 pm

      S Says…. Please remember that we have an alert system in the US for ANY AND EVERY MISSING CHILD that the FBI feels could be involved in foul play. AMBER ALERT is NOT just for the wealthy!

      I do think this girl could be anyone’s child. I live in NJ…not far from Meagan Kanka for whom MEGAN’S LAW was passed. She was a working class child who was killed by a sex offender.

      I have also lived in the South. You’d have to understand southernors…almost anyone might have had a friend with a plane. I did. And they were not wealthy. Didn’t even own a home…but was a pilot.

      Natalee was a lovely child I’m sure of it knowing the place she grew up.

    23. chimes on June 26th, 2005 4:39 pm

      Concerned, your guess is as good as mine on this one.

    24. Sandy on June 26th, 2005 4:57 pm

      I’ve heard 2 stories on Lorenzo Van Rijn. I read that he’s allegedly JVDS half-brother by an affair PVDS had w/another woman and I also heard that he may be the guy with the blue van that the blogs are talking about who went crazy when his father committed suicide a few years ago. Both may be false. I read these on Riehlworldview, but they reference Scared Monkey’s as where they info came from. I think I also saw something about it on Amy Kappel’s blog. If you google the name, it takes you to Dan Riehl’s blog.

    25. Maya99 on June 26th, 2005 5:06 pm

      Lorenzo VanRijn owns the blue van, I believe, His brother is Maxito (I think). They have been mentioned in the past as witnesses/suspects if memory serves. As you can see, I’m fuzzy on these guys, but they come up occasionally.
      Chimes: what is 1188 - is this a thread?

    26. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 5:11 pm

      FYI-
      Babylon was the ancient headquarters for the soothsayers, astrologers, and prognosticators who took sacrificial animals and examined their organs in order to find omens of the future. Frequently, in ancient Babylon, a rock was thrown into a pool of water and the rings produced in the water examined to tell the future. Internal organs of dead animals were also examined. The liver was especially prized to determine the future, to tell fortunes, or to give omens. Gazing at the stars, the practice of astrology, has been common since the beginning of man as a means of telling the future.

      From the Babylonians, the practice fell into the hands of the ancient Etruscans. They were the seafaring precursors to the Romans, who became the heart of the Roman Empire. Eventually, all Rome gave itself to seeking in the organs of dead animals what the future intended for them and their armies. In Greece, there was no statesman, leader, or businessman who did not seek from the Pythian prophetess at Delphi an answer for what tomorrow might bring.

    27. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 5:13 pm

      The FYI may be unrelated other than to identify descendants of Bobylon. The Babylonian Card may be known to card readers.

      Sword of Damocles: a threat, menacing, imminent doom
      King Dionysius of Syracuse, growing tired of Damocles sycophant ways, put him on a throne under a sword hanging by a hair; hence, the expressions, hanging by a hair, or hanging by a thread. I don’t know who Damocles represents in this instance. Ideas?
      The Babylonians represent the authorities (Babylonians, Sumerians, the Code of Hammurabi - the first legal code or laws).

      The fires???
      Damocles envied the wealth and power of Dionysius. Dionysius traded places; Damocles saw a sword over his own head as he replaced the former; he realized that he was living dangerously. The grass is always greener….

    44. san on June 26th, 2005 6:29 pm

      This makes me sick that they are releasing the father. It shows me that they don’t have anything to go on and they are praying someone will confess. Fat chance because he was well schooled by the father already. They are giving everyone a false hope that they can crack this case. What a shame.

    45. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:30 pm

      yes it is san….a crying shame….

      obviously they have no incriminating real evidence…..had my hopes up..thinking maybe more was going on than whati was giving credit for….but seems..the island mentality in investigational terms has failed this poor young girl and her family!

    48. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:38 pm

      im not even an american or a friend or relative of natalee ..and i am ready to burst with rage about how this is being handled….or NOT being handled…is a beter way of putting it…..so tired of the dutch law blurbage….has more to do with investigators initialincompetence and pride/ego in not letting more experienced people (FBI) in on the things…..they should be ashamed….

    49. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:39 pm

      i used to defiend Aruba….but my opinion has definitely changed..they need to do something fast..or they will be forever tarnished by this…enough is enough!

    50. Yolande on June 26th, 2005 6:40 pm

      Dony you people think about the fact there is a possibility Paul vdS isnt guilty of a crime?

    51. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:41 pm

      good point yolande….but i think its obvious he has also been lying to protect his son

    52. Debba on June 26th, 2005 6:42 pm

      maybe the Dad came clean and told what he knows, which is enough to hold the son? Possibly??

    53. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:42 pm

      as a proponent of teh justice system…one would think and hope and probably expect..he’d uphold justice in a circumstance as serious as this

    54. neworleansbigeasy on June 26th, 2005 6:42 pm

      lisabobessa-I agree with you 100%. I am shocked how this is all being handled. I understand there must be more they aren’t tellign the public. But it just seems to be taking WAY TOO LONG!

    55. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:43 pm

      you have a great point debbie…i guess i am just so fristrated by teh rhetoric ….cant imagine how the family must feel…im only a spectator

    56. neworleansbigeasy on June 26th, 2005 6:43 pm

      maybe the father will testify against the son in order to save himself a lenghty prison term. we can hope.

    57. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:44 pm

      i gues sits part of my upbringing as a north american..i want it and i want it now! guess life doenst always work that wya..have tried to repsetc teh dutch system but seems so remniscent of teh backwards system i witness daily here on my caribbean island..and it scares/angers me

    58. Debba on June 26th, 2005 6:45 pm

      Poor Mrs. Twitty. That poor woman has suffered enough and now this. Especially due to the fact she was so sure the Father knew something.

    59. neworleansbigeasy on June 26th, 2005 6:46 pm

      is it possible they let him go because he cut a deal?

    60. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:46 pm

      so needless when they have the help of the worlds finest investigative team …there and werent fully utilizing them..maybe there is more to it than little ol me can fathom..but it doesnt seem right to me…lets put pride away….and just get to the truth

    61. Yolande on June 26th, 2005 6:47 pm

      Maybe, just maybe, it takes this long -that no one is confessing- because they are not guilty.
      But I know Joran and dad were already found guilty by most of the public.

    62. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:47 pm

      or maybe they are doing this to shake up Joran too…make him wonder if his dad will tell on him…

    63. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:48 pm

      well that appearance of guilt was pretty much self inflicted Yolande….by them lying an dfabricating different stories

    64. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:48 pm

      innocent people just dont do that….

    65. neworleansbigeasy on June 26th, 2005 6:49 pm

      stroies have changed too many times for their to be innocence.

      I’m just sick! Bye folks

    67. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:49 pm

      now after changing his story three or four times..he has suddenly admitted he left her on the beach…so that is pretty incriminating..not many dots to connect for the public….

    68. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:50 pm

      speaks for itself…

    69. neworleansbigeasy on June 26th, 2005 6:51 pm

      they need to bring in a hard core FBI team to get them to break.

    70. T K on June 26th, 2005 6:51 pm

      is it possible that the dad is innocent and that he was let go because of that?? Is it possible that he was only arrested to make everyone who was pressuring the aruban police feel better? That is beginning to look exactly like what happened.

      They are trying so hard to please everyone that they are losing focus on what is right and wrong for them to do.

    71. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:52 pm

    73. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:54 pm

      TK..i think they are all incmpetent..and tehy should hang their heads in absolute shame for how they handled this case…and made costly mistakes that can never be remedied…and through that all hav enough nerve to blame media about pressure and use teh guise of their oh so different “dutch law”….when u make a mistake ..own up to it and try to right your wrongs….pride and politcis..uggh..makes me sick

    74. neworleansbigeasy on June 26th, 2005 6:55 pm

      so, if he is innocent they are back where they started with the son and the two other guys. that is depressing. Makes you feel like nothing further has been done. But, they could be further along then we know since their law works so differently then here in the US. You could be totally right!

    75. lisabobeesa on June 26th, 2005 6:56 pm

      i think alot of arubans came on here in first few stages and were adamant about there being no corruption or cover ups hapening..ill bet alot of them have had a change of heart

    76. T K on June 26th, 2005 6:59 pm

      the whole world is made up of political politice. If you don’t think that is true you are in denial.

      I am not saying that I like it any more than you do, but that is just the way of our world. Everything revolves around politics these days. Scarey and crappy but true.

    77. Obvious why boys are silent on June 26th, 2005 6:59 pm

      Look, why on earth would the boys or PVDS talk? There is NO incentive. None. Here, because we have very stringent punishment up to and including death, you can offer something to a criminal to get them to cough it up. You can offer them a lesser charge, a lesser punishment in exchange. Aruba does not have that luxury. They will get a reasonably light sentence anyway. OR nothing…if no evidence is found. Which would you choose?

    78. Justin T on June 26th, 2005 7:01 pm

      Or is it possible dad wouldn’t talk at ALL. ANd it is no implication of his guilt or innocence. I still stand by the fact that dad knows what happened. I just hope they get the break they need.

    79. san on June 26th, 2005 7:02 pm

      I wish mrs. Twitty would come home after this rescue team is finished with the search. They are dragging this along and can’t even imagine her frustration. I don’t think there will be many answers due to the mistakes that were made in this case. It is evident and we all see it. I now truly believe that there is a coverup and the police in Aruba know what happend but their hands are tied.

    80. Elaine on June 26th, 2005 7:04 pm

      Is it possible that the Aruban government wants to make it go away. If there is a shadow of doubt cast on what really happened to her and it looks real enough, then it is better for them or so they think. I think that the cowboys will come up with evidence or even Natalee. Then may the truth ring free and everything become uncovered.

    81. Justin T on June 26th, 2005 7:04 pm

      San,

      I don’t think there were mistakes I think they know exactly what they were doing. It’s all about connections.

    82. san on June 26th, 2005 7:09 pm

      Justin T,
      I truly hope they know what they are doing. Sometimes when you see the outcome you start to lose your faith. Explain to me what you mean by connections.

    83. Justin T on June 26th, 2005 7:13 pm

      San,

      I don’t necessarily mean that in a complimentary way. I think PVDS had the pull and bought the time he needed to make sure any loose ends were tied up. While they may have monitored those three they didn’t monitor his dad and he was free to room as he pleased. Who better would no how to get rid of evidence and the loop holes in the system than his dad. NO I think it was a total F&**K up but I think they did on purpose.

      Why won’t the son talk? In my opinion he can’t if he does dad goes down too.

    84. san on June 26th, 2005 7:21 pm

      Justin T,
      Agreed, they did buy themself enough time right from the beginning when they told the policy about the first two individuals they arrested. I feel the father had his hand in the coverup and he needed the couple of days to pull strings. Do you really think they had the right equpiment to monitor these people. This type of crime doesn’t happend on the island where it would require them to have this type of sophisticated equipment.

      San, maybe THEY didnt tell the police about the two security guards. Maybe they only said they dropped NH off and the police decided to go and question the two.

      Same with Paul vdS. He didnt call himself a judge. American media called him a judge, though he wasnt.

      Please dont turn things around.

    86. Lou Anne Lewis on June 26th, 2005 7:27 pm

      Actually I am so not surprised by any of this…

      and I am not so sure that shock said anythign about what the news would be….but that there would be shocking news….I am probably wrong…but…then its hard to follow this blodging here…it goes so round robin..though I do think it was said that most thought they would continue to hold all….
      to me this says…there is no dna evidence…or it would have held…all….specially any found at the vander sloots home….
      I believe the search team was brought into this by a family member of nats…but I still dont know how theya re gonna find anything if they are gonna limit their search….
      If natalee isnt in the holds of someone tending to her…or didnt voluntairly take off and extend her vacation(NO I DONT BELIEVE THIS EITHER0 then there is little hope of findingher alive….rule of thumb….three hours with out air….three days without water….three weeks with out food…..
      if they just continue to search the areas around where nat stayed…then I would say its a useless search
      and think about it….if a beheaded body can be dumped in a grave yard there since all this started and not be solved….how the heck are they gonna solve this
      Ithink sim…and check me..had a theory going of their own…

    87. Justin T on June 26th, 2005 7:29 pm

      Yolande,

      No they definatly told them about the security guards.

    88. Lou Anne Lewis on June 26th, 2005 7:32 pm

      woah….where did that sentence come from…..okaie all thats it for me…..

    89. Justin T on June 26th, 2005 7:35 pm

      Lou Anne,

      The are not limiting their search. They are picking key areas first and going over some areas that had been gone over by the Arubian Police.

      They caught the person who beheaded the guy. It was his girlfriend or was anyway.

      Shock didn’t say anything new at all and in fact if you read Shock I really think that is the same person as the Psychic that made all the predictions and got trashed on her and anther blog. Not saying what they say is right or wrong.

      Natalee absolutly did not run away…..

    90. san on June 26th, 2005 7:35 pm

      Yolande,
      Don’t you remember when the security guards were released from jail they said one of the brothers apologized for implicating them. They told a lie.

    91. san on June 26th, 2005 7:38 pm

      It was Mrs. Twitty who said to the media that she thought the security guards were innocent and that they should be let go. I think they were then released the next day.

    92. khuber3 on June 26th, 2005 7:38 pm

      Just pray for NATALEE. And I am tired of reading “fish food”. It really is not something nice to say…it is totally possible she is in the ocean but for the family, I do not think it is a really nice thing to say.

    93. blackspeare on June 26th, 2005 7:40 pm

      Uh OH—The father is released. The Aruban police just can’t be that incompetent. The father must have told them something and there was no need to hold him further. In the coming week pressure will be put on Joran and the two brothers. A confession may be forthcoming before the end of next of this week! As I said before look for the simplest explanation—Joran and the two brothers took her, were with her, and were there when the deed was done—a fatal reaction to alcohol or a drug.

    94. Yolande on June 26th, 2005 7:42 pm

      Actually, I think most in this case is hearsay and rumours. So I dont know what to believe and I dont know what is fact.

    95. edie on June 26th, 2005 7:55 pm

      I personally have been listening to the people in Aruba to find out what is going on. I keep thinking by what they are telling, that things are going to start moving. Honestly I have not seen much progress. Maybe it’s because of the lack of info we are getting from the Aruban authorities

    96. san on June 26th, 2005 7:56 pm

      Here is a quote from Joran’s mother.

      “A little bit of the nightmare clouds are now disappearing,” Anita van der Sloot told The Associated Press. “The truth will always come forward. From the beginning, I trusted everything would be fine.”

      The truth will never come forward from her end. All they seem to do is lie. It’s like who lies and who swears. You don’t know who to believe from those three.

    97. Caribbean Lady on June 26th, 2005 7:57 pm

      This is sad they are going to let everyone go and we will never know what has happend to that girl, I really do feel that it seems that no one in Aurba cares to find out what really happened, but they will sure want all the us dollars they can receive from americans going to this island ….its a shame.

    98. edie on June 26th, 2005 7:58 pm

      Anita probably believes those two had nothing to do with it. She was out of town and does not have a clue what went on. From rumours I have heard that Paulus had a shady character before this, but I don’t know if it was true.

    99. NW on June 26th, 2005 7:58 pm

      The father, in agreeing to wave his right not to testify against Joran, may testify that he knows nothing about Joran committing a crime. This shouldn’t be interpreted as the same as the father saying his son is guilty.

    100. Bham on June 26th, 2005 7:59 pm

      Caribbean - I have said that all along - Aruba will never solve this case - it’s not in their bst interest to solve it. They are fumbling the investigation to cover their own while hoping the American people will just forgive an appearance of inexperience. We all know what happened - we don’t need a body or a conviction by the Arubian government.

      I haven’t caught up on posts yet - wow a lot has been going on here

    101. san on June 26th, 2005 8:00 pm

      Noticed how quickly she returned from her vacation or where ever she was. Quick honey come home we have to clean up the house a bit.

    102. Elaine on June 26th, 2005 8:00 pm

      I think momma VDS is a little less than above reproach herself. She was not so sure. She was on the tv balling and upset. What a whackjob. There is more than the little we know and it will come out. Believe me, it will..

    103. edie on June 26th, 2005 8:01 pm

      Believe me if I know anything I don’t think for one minute Paulus would admit his son was guilty.. EVEN IF HE SAW HIM DO IT.

    104. NW on June 26th, 2005 8:02 pm

      I just don’t think the TX team will find Natalee. If she’s in the ocean, too much time has passed. And, I just don’t think she’s buried on the island.

    105. san on June 26th, 2005 8:02 pm

      I hope so Elaine.

    106. Bham on June 26th, 2005 8:02 pm

      NW - Paulus will never say his son is guilty - I would never deduct that from today’s actions - Paulus oached those boys on their story and knows very well what it will take to get all of them off. I have no doubt that Paulus either said to the boys”Don’t tell me anymore…but here’s what you do.” Or he will flat out lie. He will never say his son is guilty even if he watched the crime himself - not saying he did - just making a point.

    107. edie on June 26th, 2005 8:03 pm

      Maybe the body will still be in the water. As I have said before, Laci Peterson was recovered.

    108. NW on June 26th, 2005 8:04 pm

      Too much time, wrong currents, or she wouldhave washed ashore by now.

    109. san on June 26th, 2005 8:05 pm

      I hate to even talk like this but if she was thrown in the ocean wouldn’t she be weighted down with something. Would they risk the possibility of her washing up to shore.

    110. edie on June 26th, 2005 8:05 pm

      I guess we will all have to sit back and watch. What will happen is her body will wash up after all are let go. And accidental death will be the cause.

    111. edie on June 26th, 2005 8:06 pm

      They say that laci was weighed down. A weight is not going to hold a body down forever.

    112. T K on June 26th, 2005 8:06 pm

      some of you people trip me out! Here you go now attacking the VDS mothers character! You have go to be kidding me. The woman is a school teacher and a mother. She would have every reason to be upset about her son and her husband being arrested. That is a normal reaction of someone who loves her family! That does not make her a “whackjob”. Come on now people, think clearly now. Stop attacking and pointing fingers when we have NO proof what so ever that anyone is guilty of anything.

    113. Bham on June 26th, 2005 8:08 pm

      Does anyone have any thought on PVS having someone dispose of the body - perhaps not the night of the disappearance - This of course works under the theory that she is deceased and not sold into slavery some where - perhaps the body was put somewhere temporarily but PVS knew he was too hot to handle it and maybe called in a favor using his high rank. Of course I have ABSOLUTELY no facts or items to build this theory - but PVS is a smart man - he knew the authorities would assume the body was dumped in the water - Anyone else have any thoughts along these lines?

      I guess none of us have ever heard of a teacher partaking in a crime = and certainly no mothers have ever ever covered up for crimes of their children before.

      If you’re too emotional to kick around logical theories, perhaps you should watch censored tv - it may be all you can handle

      I’m off to see what else happened in the news today - keep kicking around those theories - wouldn’t it be hilarious if we solved the case before the Arubians - actually that’s realistic - so wouldn’t it be funny if we solved it before the FBI and the search team.

      Pleeeeeaaaasseee! The fact she is a teacher is nothing. Teachers are guilty of crimes everyday. Pamela Smart was not only a teacher, but a seductress, pedafile and murderer. Diane B. 9don’t remember her last name) was also a teacher and so on.
      Mary Kay LeToureau, teacher,molester. She is there. She can be found.
      The mother is no innocent. She knows of her son’s escapades, yet she proclaims they have strict rules. She knows something. Not what senior knows, but she knows something.

    131. edie on June 26th, 2005 8:32 pm

      what about being a mother???? does that give her to right to greive and be upset? What would you feel if your son and husband were arrested and being crucified? Would you think that you were a “whacko” just because you cried and greived for them?

    135. san on June 26th, 2005 8:34 pm

      I think if he does gets off. This kid will only be worst because he knows he got away with it. Remember when he was first approached by Mrs. Twitty and he started to pound his chest. Hopefully he doesn’t come to school in the US.

    136. T K on June 26th, 2005 8:37 pm

      maybe that was a 17 year old boy showing his frustration. Maybe he was pounding his chest and saying what do you want me to do, because he had already done everything that he could. Just a thought.

    137. edie on June 26th, 2005 8:38 pm

      I think it does. It is obviously on a different level. You can greive for your own personal loss of a son and husband to the prision system and the life as you knew it, or the threat of it. At the same time you can grieve for the crime that was commited.

    140. Maya99 on June 26th, 2005 8:39 pm

      T K I’m tending to agree with your earlier post. We have no idea what really happened, except that a yong woman is missing, and her parents are having to deal with the unimaginable. And although the Van Der Sloots know where their son is, I am quite sure that they never imagined they would be in their present circumstances either. In one day everything changed for these families, and their lives will never be the same again. We can at least offer our prayers and our compassion, not our divisiveness, as the truth unfolds and justice prevails.

      That was on the monday night when Natalee’s family arrived and he was at the casino gambling until 3:00 am. If you were the father wouldn’t you tell you son to stay home. But maybe it was their plan to say act like you always do and go to the casino like there is nothing wrong.

    162. Lucy on June 26th, 2005 9:14 pm

      Anne
      On Friday, Checkme said that they had nothing against the Paul. Earlier, Simian said that the son’s problem was his attitude and predicted that the father was going to be brought in. I gather whenever he mentioned Noor, he was refering to the VDS’s.

      You just have to be patient and keep tuned in.

      Now Shango, he is really something. If his postings were not so repetitive, I’d give it a try at deciphering, but he repeats too much.

      I think his Lordship is the PM, the Babylons are exiles, whatever that means. The Lebanese Aruba are also mentioned (Sumarians). The shivas are the Kalpoe’s. I think the fort is Texas or the USA. Paul’s cards up the sleeve are the securitu guards theory plus Steve Croes. The thing is that Shango goes over and over, and indifferent lines calls the same people different names, for instance, the Kalpoes. So his doble talk is not precise, making it non enticing to decipher.

      FYI, there appears a lot of concern for the release of Paulus, a previous comment of Jug Twit to have Anita arrested barely raised an eyebrow. MB student claim that the MSM always seem to take their statement out of context. Okay so now we have a situation where Paulus was brought in to clarify previous statement. Perhaps the Police saw the full unedited version of the taped interview? See where I am heading? Paulus could have elaborated on something but the taped version never came out or what ever you know? Well that or the Police is doing a tactical release of the suspect. There I was able to appease both camps.

      Do the Sumerians own the kaseenos??????

    177. Shango on June 26th, 2005 9:32 pm

      His lordship is there to preserve babylon

      not the elder

      remember dirtyhand!

    178. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 9:33 pm

      Shango

      Clarify this. Joran is supposed to be a Babylonian. Are there more Babylonians other than him????

    179. Shango on June 26th, 2005 9:34 pm

      the struggle between the babylonians and the arawaks still remains hidden

      the arawaks awaited the key

      his lordship said no

      the door to eden remains closed

      they are preparing the fire

    180. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 9:34 pm

      Is Dirty Hand from Savaneta???

    181. Shango on June 26th, 2005 9:35 pm

      DirtyHand is not an Arawak

      Many pioneers have settled with the tribe

    182. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 9:35 pm

      Ok, they are preparing the sacrificial fire, but will they sacrifice a Babylonian????

    183. new girl on June 26th, 2005 9:35 pm

      What do you folks think about all of the gambling references from Shango?

      All of his clues involve “playing” a hand or a card…And the terrible secret is a “Dirty Hand.” And the consistent references to whether or not the cowboys will leave with the loot.

    184. Simian on June 26th, 2005 9:36 pm

      All that the gamblers knew was written down. They knew the girl. She spent her nights at their tables.

    185. JayFreddy on June 26th, 2005 9:36 pm

      S-H-ANGEEOH
      S-H-ANGEEOH
      S-H-ANGEEOH

      And SHANGO was his name-oh!

    186. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 9:37 pm

      Why would an elder Babylonian let a younger Babylonian be sacrified. Once again, do the Sumerians own the kaseenos?

    187. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 9:40 pm

      IS Dirty Hand a Macambo???

    188. new girl on June 26th, 2005 9:40 pm

      The “kaseenos” must be the the important link. I wonder how JVDS had so much cash (and why the elder had so much cash) to blow on drinking and gambling when supposedly this family was regular middle class. Follow the money.

    189. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 9:41 pm

      Shango

      So, the night befor the disappearance, Joran was with the same gamblers too.

    190. Shango on June 26th, 2005 9:43 pm

      Did the babylonians like to make movies?

      From the tears, a new river will spring forth…..

    191. Anne on June 26th, 2005 9:43 pm

      Lucy:
      Thanks. It’s not a matter of being patient as much as I was puzzled how it was okay to arrest a man just to make his son talk and then let him go. Does arrest not harm reputations in Dutch law as it does in US? Again, thanks. I have been lurking for awhile now :)

      Simian:

      Never said you posed. You have predicted too much not to be much closer to the situation than anyone else. Just thought maybe you were going with the word on the street or speculating.

      Also: the Babylonians know the girl. Current tense. Last night I was certain you were speaking epilogue, not ongoing story.

    192. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 9:44 pm

      New Girl

      You don’t have to have a lot of cash to stay all night at the kaseenos. A few chips on the roulette will keep you eating and drinking for free all night long.

      Simian
      So, she played the casinos 3 nights and supposedly took $10,000 out of her credit card, and left $5,000 in her purse. So obviously she was gambling. But why would the gamblers harm her.

    193. edie on June 26th, 2005 9:47 pm

      What keeps confusing me is what will be the sacrifice.

    194. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 9:47 pm

      Shango

      I read something about ganbanging a 14 yr. old tourist and filming it. But this was not attributed to the duo of Babylonians, but to another group of kids, including Van Rijn, Aredszetc.

    195. Simian on June 26th, 2005 9:48 pm

      The boy told the Hindus that he didn’t need their help anymore. This was in the small hours. The confrontation was brutal.

      So who heeded his call? Who switched places?

      People…the bloodied, swollen tongue. The boy’s fear runs deep. They accuse him to be Bifrons.

    196. Shango on June 26th, 2005 9:48 pm

      The card of babylon was already played

      if it sings, DirtyHand will bring down the Royal House on top of the Arawak Nation

      the gods have handed down a pipe of peace, but a sacrifice will be made

      Some elders of the game, not just of babylon walk in older circles

      cowboys hear the singing, but the words are not understood

      The gods and the babylonians are worried about the cowboys response

    197. edie on June 26th, 2005 9:50 pm

      Bifrons- evil or the devil… right?

    198. new girl on June 26th, 2005 9:51 pm

      Bifrons = demon /monster

    199. Shango on June 26th, 2005 9:51 pm

      The 46th spirit does not walk the same circle as the elders, this shall be his downfall

    200. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 9:52 pm

      Simian

      Demoniacal???

    201. new girl on June 26th, 2005 9:52 pm

      Who are the gods?

    202. edie on June 26th, 2005 9:52 pm

      the 46th spirit was bifrons

    203. Simian on June 26th, 2005 9:53 pm

      The Simain thinks that Babalà º is clueless about who the Babylonians are. The Simian thinks that is really funny.

      The Simian will make an exception and answer: The gamblers knew he girl.

    204. Shango on June 26th, 2005 9:53 pm

      The Tribe knows all of the players, even the elders of the inner circle

    205. sarizona on June 26th, 2005 9:53 pm

      croes out tomottow @ 1

      papa out already

      why the time difference???

    206. new girl on June 26th, 2005 9:53 pm

      Bifrons = He changeth Dead Bodies, and putteth them in another place; also he lighteth seeming Candles upon the Graves of the Dead.

      : (

    207. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 9:54 pm

      Shango and Simian

      So he said goodbye to the Kalpoes and called some school friens that are Babylonians and were at the kaseeno the night before, and the other three nights gambling with Natalee.

      So, the kid is a sociopath???

    208. Shango on June 26th, 2005 9:55 pm

      DirtyHand walks with the elders

      Babylon knows

    209. edie on June 26th, 2005 9:56 pm

      conspiracy

    210. T K on June 26th, 2005 9:56 pm

      how about he Joran left her on the beach alone, and some other gamblers from the casino who knew her did something to her?

    211. Shango on June 26th, 2005 9:57 pm

      The cowboys hear the singing but don’t understand the words

    212. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 9:57 pm

      Simian

      Probably totally clueless, I am just trying to guess not to continue in Limbo. I assumed that Babylonians are those in exile, expatriates. Initially I thought they were Syrian Arubans, because of the Tifgris and Euphrates thing, but beleive me, I will not mind if you continue to enlighten me. Keep making exceptions.

    213. Shango on June 26th, 2005 9:58 pm

      DirtyHand knows the Babylonians that provided escort after the 2 shivas left

    214. san on June 26th, 2005 9:59 pm

      Why not look in the grave yard. Wouldn’t you look where most people wouldn’t look.

    215. san on June 26th, 2005 10:01 pm

      Records would indicate which grave was recently opened and you could tell which one was recently opened. I live across the street from a grave yard and you could tell without a doubt.

    216. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:01 pm

      Shango writes: The 46th spirit does not walk the same circle as the elders, this shall be his downfall

      This means that the mover of the dead girl’s body will be caught? Is he the sacrifice? Is it Lorenzo the insane guy, or is he the one with power?

    217. Shango on June 26th, 2005 10:01 pm

      Arawaks often go to play in small houses of Babylon with the offspring of the Elders

    218. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:01 pm

      But didn’t he supossedly called his father at 400 AM, and that is why he was late for school??????

    219. Simian on June 26th, 2005 10:03 pm

      The alibi needs to be broken. The dogs have pouches on their feet. They are checking the dirty waters in Noord.

      The Babylonians know what the girl did earlier in the week. Therein lies the motive. The third act will played soon, but the boy is not Ajax. He is too afraid to pull off such a feat.

    220. Shango on June 26th, 2005 10:04 pm

      Are the children of the elders there, or did they flee to Babylon?

      DirtyHand knows, this is his Power

      there will be 46 sacrifices

    221. chimes on June 26th, 2005 10:06 pm

      DirtyHand will never wipe his hands clean.

    222. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:07 pm

      The teenage students who are related to government officials are wrapped up with Lorenzo, his rave house and drug parties, and the young VDS, and have provided a false alibi

    223. T K on June 26th, 2005 10:07 pm

      simian

      what did the girl do earlier in the week?

    224. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:07 pm

      Simian

      The alibi of the party or the alibi of sleeping at home???

    225. Shango on June 26th, 2005 10:08 pm

      The 46th will pay for the children of the Elders

    226. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:09 pm

      Simian

      All I read is that she did not sleep with her roommates on nights 2,3,4 of her trip.

    227. Trisher on June 26th, 2005 10:09 pm

      Hello - there is someone else NH hung with earlier in the week. I think that’s what Simian said last week.

    228. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:10 pm

      Shango

      Are the Elders the Papa Babylonians. (See Simian, still clueless. I definetly need your help).

    229. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:11 pm

      Something is going to happen to Lorenzo. Probably something that will prevent him from speaking.

      I wonder if his father REALLY committed suicide.

    230. T K on June 26th, 2005 10:11 pm

      maybe a jealous lovers triangle going on then eh simian?
      Maybe someone got mad that she was with Joran that night and couldn’t handle it?

    231. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:12 pm

      They said the sacrifice would not be an innocent

    232. Shango on June 26th, 2005 10:13 pm

      DirtyHand walks in ALL houses

      houses of the Arawaks, and houses of Rave

      He can break the alibi

    233. T S on June 26th, 2005 10:13 pm

      I have been reading here for a few days, but I seemed to have missed stuff about this LORENZO, whats the story there and what about a blue van ? anyone…..

    234. chimes on June 26th, 2005 10:14 pm

      At some point, did NH had a room of her own?

    235. T K on June 26th, 2005 10:14 pm

      When you say “ALL houses” Do you also mean the houses of Natalees family and friends?

    236. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:14 pm

      So, Dirty Hand is the kid that knows to much and holds the power that could hurt:

      a. The Arawaks.

      b. The Babylonians.

      c. The detainee (s).

      d. The lordship.

      e. All of the above ?????

    237. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:16 pm

      Shango

      I thought Dirty Hand was the one who had the alibi …

    238. Shango on June 26th, 2005 10:16 pm

      Mary was not a Virgin

      The Arawaks know

      The cowboys know

      DirtyHand can break the Alibi, he walks all circles

      The Simian knows this

    239. Anne on June 26th, 2005 10:17 pm

      More hint on “what the girl did earlier in the week” please Simian?

      And…

      And Ajax, in his deep distress
      Allied to our disgrace,
      Hath cherished in his loneliness
      The bosom friend’s embrace.
      Frenzy hath seized thy dearest son,
      Who from thy shores in glory came
      The first in valor and in fame.
      The deeds that he hath done
      Seem hostile all to hostile eyes;
      The sons of Atreus see them and despise.

      Woe to the mother, in her close of day,
      Woe to her desolate heart, and temples gray,
      When she shall hear
      Her loved one’s story whispered in her ear!
      “Woe, woe!” will be the cry–
      No quiet murmur like the tremulous wail
      Of the lone bird, the querulous nightingale–
      But shrieks that fly
      Piercing, and wild, and loud, shall mourn the tale;
      And she will beat her breast, and rend her hair,
      Scattering the silver locks that Time hath left her there.
      Oh! when the pride of Grà ¦cia’s noblest race
      Wanders, as now, in darkness and disgrace,
      When Reason’s day
      Sets rayless–joyless–quenched in cold decay,
      Better to die, and sleep
      The never-waking sleep, than linger on
      And dare to live, when the soul’s life is gone;
      But thou shalt weep,
      Thou wretched father, for thy dearest son,
      The best beloved, by inward Furies torn,
      The deepest, bitterest curse, thine ancient house hath borne!

    240. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:17 pm

      Lorenzo the crazy, scary guy with the spray painted house / blue van and the illegal afterhours parties - Lorenzo who was questioned but released because of an alibi provided by Babylonians who couldn’t be disbelieved due to the positions their parents hold in government - Lorenzo whose father committed suicide and who may have a history of killing dogs, is this right?

    241. Shango on June 26th, 2005 10:18 pm

      If the Alibi is broken by DirtyHand the walls of Babylon will shake

    242. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:18 pm

      Who’s alibi darling????

    243. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:19 pm

      The escot’s alibi?

      The gamblers alibi?

      She was taken to the elders?????

    244. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:21 pm

      It sounds like whatever Natalee did earlier that week involved sex - Mary not a Virgin

    245. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:21 pm

      Shango

      Perhaps you may care to answer: who owns the kaseenos in Aruba? The Babylonians, The Sumarians??

      Are the elders part of the Babylonians, The Sumarians or the Gamblers????

      SIMIAN, Help!!!!!!

    246. T S on June 26th, 2005 10:22 pm

      I don’t understand, its all riddles to me. Makes no sense with the way responses are made on this blog. I have watched nothing but fox news and cnn for 4 weeks on this story and never heard about lorenzo. babylonians ????

    247. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:22 pm

      It is Lorenzo’s alibi that must be broken

    248. Shango on June 26th, 2005 10:23 pm

      Old treaties between the Babylonians and the Arawaks were maintained until the gods heard

      Babylon now fears reprisals

      the fires are lit

      there will be 46 sacrifices

    249. Simian on June 26th, 2005 10:24 pm

      The boy is no Ajax. He is too afraid of the consequences. He doesn’t want to be made a cafone.

      The third act needs to be played and the cowboys will be heroes.

      This is all a “lugubrious game” to them. They were all at the party and all of them are turning their heads. One of them needs to be pinched.

    250. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:25 pm

      Lorenzo’s father owned a VW dealership and also had some sort of import/export business. He reportedly committed suicide and this drove Lorenzo insane. Maybe Lorenzo’s father didn’t take his own life. Maybe HE knew too much at one time?

    251. Simian on June 26th, 2005 10:26 pm

      The Lugubrious Game

      Slave of the second bed,
      mistress of the first, Gala,
      spread on my deck, urgent
      and smooth as a Cadillac,
      a hearse for the heart,
      spark in his engine of bones.

      Make me a meal of urchins,
      you said, and feed me your will.
      A rabbit, skinned and stewed,
      is a gift, or pigeon, well plucked.
      Pets are loved to be killed.
      And friends, like you, to be f–ked.

    257. Shango on June 26th, 2005 10:30 pm

      You always find forbidden desires in the small houses of Babylon

      the girl knew this

      Find DirtyHand! He too walked in this house of Babylon.

      But not to satiate desire.

    258. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:31 pm

      Why did the girl owe money?

    261. Aenim on June 26th, 2005 10:33 pm

      Shango, is it true that the Chief Babylonian and The Elder had a meeting behind closed doors that went on for hours the same the shivas and Joran were interviewed?

      where do you get the idea that whatever Natalee did eariler that week included sex?

    264. edie on June 26th, 2005 10:35 pm

      why would she owe money?

    265. buyme on June 26th, 2005 10:36 pm

      money for drugs = X?

    266. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:37 pm

      Shango

      So, Babylonians are not from somewhere. It refers so a places with prevailing behaviors, related to self seeking pleasures perhaps with “sensuality, vice and corrption”. And she was there before?????

    267. Shango on June 26th, 2005 10:37 pm

      DirtyHand is not a child of Babylon

      He holds the real key

      The Arawaks fear his exposure

      The house of babylon would tumble down on the teepees of the Arawaks

      DirtyHand knows the cowboys will leave lootless.

      He can break the alibi

    268. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:37 pm

      Justin T asked: where do you get the idea that whatever Natalee did eariler that week included sex?

      Why include virginity?
      Dirty Hand took an innocent’s life, regardless of virginity.
      We are back to: good power, bad power. Break the alibi and get to the core.
      Choose the right and just decision.

      The third act needs to be played and the cowboys will be heroes — she is alive but she will be killed and dumped to be found by the searchers.

    272. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 10:40 pm

      No one is above reproach. We all make bad decisions.
      That gives no one the right to overpower and kill us unless we have seriously harmed another.

    273. Shango on June 26th, 2005 10:41 pm

      even after a daughter gives birth to a grandchild, the father of the new mother will still claim his daughter is a virgin

      All who enter the damned corridors of the houses of Babylon know the dangers that await

      But the knowledge that they are forbidden is what makes them so pleasurable

    274. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:42 pm

      Aenim

      Great that you have shown up. Perhaps you can help me more than Shango and Simian. Any tips?? From what I read, there are many houses of Babylon, but now you are refering to a PALACE and not elders, but ELDER, especifically. Is thi ELDER Paulus and is the Chief Babylonian a Sumerian???????

    275. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 10:43 pm

      Or maybe the 3rd act is a homicide. If Lorenzo holds the futures of others in his hands, this mystery could be tied up nicely with a Lorenzo suicide note confession taking resposibility for the disappearance of Natalee and telling the location of her body.

    278. Justin T on June 26th, 2005 10:43 pm

      new girl,

      That is all such bullshit. I am so sick of these assholes trying to trash her and or her family. First no one has claimed she was a virgin. What she was not was a girl who just slept around with any guy. she had VERY few boyfriends and really did not date that much. Hardly a ho. This guy and his criptic messages can go to hell

      Just a thought…. Has anyone stopped to think that the persons involved in this might very well be on this blog….

    282. chimes on June 26th, 2005 10:47 pm

      Seems like DirtyHand is set for life, is unethically deemed King of Aruba. One wrong turn from Babs or Arawaks, and all the houses fall.

      She firt entered voluntarily. But was shen then forced down the corridor???

    284. T K on June 26th, 2005 10:48 pm

      Justin T,

      Did you know her personally? Besides one comment about her not being a virgin doesn’t equal to trashing her reputation.

      Coverups begin with elders and the founders of the houses of Babylon

      Not the minions

      DirtyHand knows this

    288. Concerned on June 26th, 2005 10:49 pm

      Hey, Chimes.. we need you.

    289. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:50 pm

      With all due respect Justin T, to say that an 18 year old is not a virgin is not trashing her or calling her a ho. Are we only permitted to discuss theories of her disappearance that preserve her chastity? I was no longer a virgin at 18, and I wasn’t a ho either.

    290. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:50 pm

      Chimes

      That is, until they shoot him in the back. Unless, DirtyHand is a secret that the Arawaks have and since we don’t know who the Babylonians are, and Arawaks don’t tell on Dirty Hand, he’ll go incognito and cease to exist.

    297. Simian on June 26th, 2005 10:52 pm

      The elder agreed to speak, but he he loves the boy too much. The knows the passages of the palace too well. So the Babylonians must make sure the check mate is iron-clad.

      Something rotten from The Hague will have to make the third act play out.

    298. edward on June 26th, 2005 10:52 pm

      Basically you take your life into your own hands when visiting these
      third world country’s. You are seen as there country’s # 1 resource and
      they will benefit from your visit one way or another.

      I knew from day one when Natalee went missing on a Aruba there would
      be no justice and I can assure, there will never be any.

      The reluctance to investigate or even acknowledge crimes committed against tourist
      is the reason why there will never be and resolution to Natalees disappearance.

      Whatever the system, there are basic investigative fundamentals that need to be adhered to conduct a good investigation. With the advances in forensic science, time is of the essence.
      If you don’t gather this evidence promptly, these tools can be lost to you. Not searching the VS himself, there home and cars sooner is a blunder that cannot be excused.

      Do to the sheer incompetence and self pride of the local authorities. All evidence was
      lost, disregarded, tampered with, or just destroyed.

      Natalee left the bar with these three guy’s and in less then 5 hours she disappeared
      without a trace. Hoping these three boy’s will confess to murdering a defenseless young
      woman, is not an investigation. These Aruba authorities have no idea how to handel this
      case and have no plans on doing so. They put on show that will never amount to anything.

      Again when you travel to these third world country’s - make no mistake - you take your
      life into your own hands, just ask

      DirtyHand is the key

      He walks with the elders

      He walks in all houses

      And he walked with the fallen elder

      he was the hidden card that was played

      now if he sings, babylon will fall on the arawak nation

      Equally viable, but earlier I thought the lamb referenced was pointed out to be JVdS.

      Is the Marriott Resort & Casino a franchise operation in Aruba?????

    303. Shango on June 26th, 2005 10:56 pm

      The Simian knows his Lordship did not have a key to open the door to eden

      the answer lies with the Arawak Nation

    304. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:57 pm

      Anne

      I don’t think they are refering to Lorenzo. He is a Babylonian and DirtyHand is not.

    305. Miagi on June 26th, 2005 10:57 pm

      Dirty Hands has dipped his paws in the Euphrates River several times…and his paws remain soiled…. The elder has fallen and can’t get up….. and the Arawak nation is hiding behind many palm branches waiting for the doves to fly and bring back a twig….

    306. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:58 pm

      By Arawak Nation, do you mean Surinam, even if non Kalpoe related???

    307. new girl on June 26th, 2005 10:59 pm

      The lamb was to be Joran, but the father cannot go through with pointing the finger at his son. So, he will not.
      The third act will not occur as it will be unnecessary UNLESS forensics threatens to bring the wrong people down. ?

    308. Aenim on June 26th, 2005 10:59 pm

      That’s right, Babalu

    309. Babalú on June 26th, 2005 10:59 pm

      Or perhaps, Colombia, since the Arawaks originated in the Andes????

      Dirty Hands is someone making money by looking the other way about certain criminal behaviors on the island. Law enforcement perhaps, unless mafia/cartel sort of thing

      I am, that is why I keep asking questions. I am hundreds of miles away and keep trying to make some sense out of this. Perhaps the clues are too hard. By the way, Simian already told me the same thing. In fact he called me clueless.

      But once again, when you said tha’s right, which post did you mean: the 10:57 PM or 10:58 PM????

    331. Simian on June 26th, 2005 11:09 pm

      The whisperer is on the line. The Babylonians know what happened, but their hands are tied. They do not own the hammer nor the block.

      The owner of the hammer and the block will never carry the package from the Hague. The trias works infallibly.

      The party-go-ers need to be pinched, but no one wants to be the cafone. Including the boy. Too much is at stake and he is no Ajax. He is biting his tongue so he won’t be able to speak. So afraid he is.
