Afternoon Update

 

Riehl World has some updates.

Just had a communication from Aruba - search dogs have gotten a “hit” in quarry near the Van der Sloot house, dive team being rounded up.

On Fox News, Angela Munzenhofer from Aruba Today, say that she spoke with Steven Croes, and that he says all he did was over hear a conversation that Deepak was having on the telephone. He went to the police to tell them and was arrested.

UPDATE:: We have word from multiple sources that divers are in the water at a quarry near the Van Der Sloots home. There are evidence flags up around the area. We will post as more information is available.

UPDATE 2:
” I knew that I was innocent, but I got myself in something without thinking how big it could get. ”
Steve Croes on Top 95, the most popular station in Aruba. Thanks ArubaGirl!

Update 3: 21:00 Confirmation was received that nothing was found at the Quarry search site.

      Natalee Holloway Updates

      It appears that the search dogs have gotten a “hit” in a quarry near the Van der Sloot house

    3. edie on June 27th, 2005 8:57 pm

      Finally, it’s working!

    4. Lucy on June 27th, 2005 9:00 pm

      Hi edie. Yeah, finally. Let me let them know, over at Reihlworld.

    5. scaredshitless on June 27th, 2005 9:01 pm

      I can’t believe it’s up and running!

    6. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:01 pm

      I know I have been going crazy!

    7. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:02 pm

      Is there any new info?

    8. frankdags on June 27th, 2005 9:02 pm

      nope!

    9. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:05 pm

      I wonder if they are still in the water… Surely they are not

    10. anne on June 27th, 2005 9:05 pm

      Did they find Natalee in the quarry?

    11. Lucy on June 27th, 2005 9:05 pm

      Not really, except that the search at the reservoirs have not turn anything yet; that NH parents are pissed off because they let Paul van der Sloot go. I guess they want somebody to pay at all cost, because aparently there is no evidence against this man.

      Also, more people are now taking into consideration the kidnapping possibility and the possibility that the tree boys in prison are not responsible for any harm done to her, even if they lied, changed stories and stuff.

    12. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:05 pm

      is there any confirmations from national news of the search of the quarry

    13. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:05 pm

      Nothing on the news about it.

    14. buyme on June 27th, 2005 9:06 pm

      no new info.

    15. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:06 pm

      Thanks Lucy!!!! They hate us over there at Riehl, and I’m not a troll but they gave us a bad name quick!!!!!

      Question for everyone, if they don’t find Natalee, and the boys walk, will all the evidence involved in the case will be released?

      If it’s not, do you think there will be add’t pressure from the US in order to push the issue?

      I’m just thinking that if they come forward and say “joran did it, we’re putting him in prison for her murder” or “we’re letting them all go, there is no evidence or body to hold them for” it won’t end there.

      Thoughts?

    16. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:08 pm

      I don’t think they will release the evidence, because they are big on preserving reputations. Something we in the US never take into consideration.

    17. Lucy on June 27th, 2005 9:08 pm

      edie & chris

      The gentleman from Texas Search party was on Nancy Grace. They have not found anything yet.

    18. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:09 pm

      I have given up! They are not going to find her!

    19. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:09 pm

      Edie, I just don’t think that will fly, we’ll see. If Aruba has any desire to put this behind them that would be a bad idea. Just my $.02.

    20. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:10 pm

      cnn gave the times of the dutch boy’s cell phone call to the brother and the subsequent text message to the brother

    21. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:10 pm

      What were the times Chris? And the message?

    22. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:11 pm

      chris-
      what did they say?

    23. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:12 pm

      i saw where they said they would not release any evidence until someone is indicted or charged what ever they call it in aruba

    24. anne on June 27th, 2005 9:12 pm

      I guarantee you that somebody from Alabama will go down and kill all 3 of those boys if they are released and let off the hook for this.

      The poor girl was not kidnapped. Joran killed her, and probably worse.

    25. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:13 pm

      let me find the link its buried in one of the updates

    26. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:16 pm

      http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/06/27/aruba.missing/index.html go down the story its under the caprion 4th released

    27. buyme on June 27th, 2005 9:16 pm

      where are the results of the dna evidence?

    28. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:16 pm

      Anne, I’m with you. I’m not a cowboy American or an Aruba basher but this just won’t end if they come to a conclusion and try and brush it under the rug sans providing evidence. Beyond the horror for the family of no resolution, and the initial hit to tourism already, so much interest in this case will not just die, and if they don’t provide the info, that island will never be the same.

    29. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:18 pm

      records show he called the brother at 240 am and the brother told the officials joran had called to tell him he left natalie on the beach and was going to walk home
      about 40 minutes later he sent a text message saying he was home which would be about the time it would take for him to walk home

    30. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:21 pm

      Why would you call your buddy while you are drunk on the way home at 2:40, and then text message him to say you “got home ok”, it’s not your Mom your calling, it’s your buddy. Just does not make sense.

    31. lisa on June 27th, 2005 9:21 pm

      theories?

    32. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:22 pm

      I think its all a cover up, but these guys are good! They are going to walk

    33. Kristin-in-SC on June 27th, 2005 9:23 pm

      More lies and deception. If he is guilty (which I believe) then maybe he was trying to “cover his tracks” by making the calls to use as an alibi?

    34. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:24 pm

      Does not make sense in normal context of 17 year olds out for the evening anyway, at least in my eyes.

      And I’ve been to many caribbean islands, young folks especially love their cars, love to carpet them, make them all pimped out looking, similar to the US I guess.

      Why at 2:40 am, if you’re a popular drinker, gambler (ladies man maybe) and man about town, would you walk 40 minutes home.

      Again, makes no sense to me, you would call a buddy before walking 40 minutes.

    35. buyme on June 27th, 2005 9:25 pm

      or he was at a party that he was dropped off at and no longer welcome. maybe he was looking for a ride home?

    36. lisa on June 27th, 2005 9:25 pm

      i thought the text was odd as well. Did he really just text to “at home”? Or are they going from his ‘confession’?

    37. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:26 pm

      would like to know if joran called his father before 240am and was coached as to what to do ie call the brother and while joran and his father are driving around wondering what to do….the father has joran text the brother that he was home

    38. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:26 pm

      Kristin, I understand your thought, but at that time, I would really find it hard to believe he was thinking alibi after a night of partying. Dunno.

    39. cbudd on June 27th, 2005 9:26 pm

      Big Pappy you are absolutely right! He checks in with his buddy like a good little boy but he leaves his love interest alone on a beach at 2:40 in the morning. It is a total contrast.

    40. Lucy on June 27th, 2005 9:27 pm

      Big Pappy

      Yes you wold walk home, especially if your daddy picked you up at MacDonalds’ before 11 and thought you were in bed.

    41. Larry on June 27th, 2005 9:27 pm

      What DNA evidence are we talking about??? Did I miss this issue?

    42. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:29 pm

      how many friends does a 17 year old have that he can call up on a very early monday morning and ask for a ride home. as a father with a 19 a 17 and a 10 year old son i wouldnt let my sons go pick up a friend that time of the night unless i went with them

    43. cbudd on June 27th, 2005 9:29 pm

      Frances Ellen Byrd said that she saw Natalee with Joran as early as 9:30 at CnC so that conflicts with the story that dad dropped Joran off at McDonalds at 11:00.

    44. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:30 pm

      If he killed herand his dad was helping him of course he knew that joran would need an alabi.

    45. lisa on June 27th, 2005 9:30 pm

      I’m with Chris…I think he called his father for help and his father helped t-up the alibi. They are liekly forcing the brohters to lie about the drop off as well.

    46. buyme on June 27th, 2005 9:30 pm

      well i thought they were testing evidence from the impounded cars and the bags of clothes they had taken.

    47. Lucy on June 27th, 2005 9:30 pm

      cbudd.

      Did not dropped. Picked him up.

    48. cbudd on June 27th, 2005 9:31 pm

      I am sorry - I meant picked him up from McDonalds.

    49. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:31 pm

      cbudd ………………………..joran’s father picked him up at mcdonalds at 11 and then took him home,

    50. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:31 pm

      Naaaaa Lucy, I would call a buddy and have him drop me a mile down the road, saving 40 some minutes of walking :)

      Exactly CBudd, leaves the lady on the beach but checks in with his boy.

    51. cbudd on June 27th, 2005 9:33 pm

      Buyme - I saw that info. as well in a previous post. Someone said both VDS vehicles and a Kalpoe vehicle but I did not get this from a news source.

    52. Lucy on June 27th, 2005 9:33 pm

      Big Pappy

      Have it as you may. After all, Big Pappy can’t be wrong.

    53. Larry on June 27th, 2005 9:34 pm

      buyme

      If they are testing that, where are the tests being done? To me they do not seem that advanced down there for those kinds of tests.

    54. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:34 pm

      what i had read was that joran was at the holiday inn around 930 gambling not at c n c’s

    55. Concerned on June 27th, 2005 9:35 pm

      yeah, we’re back!

    56. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:35 pm

      he was at the holiday inn. His dad picked him up@11 form mc donalds… then he snuck out and went to cnc

    57. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:35 pm

      the testing is being done in the netherlands not the us or aruba

    58. buyme on June 27th, 2005 9:36 pm

      or he killed natalie at the party or she died from an overdose of XTC. he needs a ride and some help. he calls the brother, they come pick Joran up along with Natalie’s body. they then frantically drive to the VDS home and tell the father what happened. Kalpoes are sent home as dad and son dispose of body. IM is to tell Kalpoes he is now home (not to worry). they just happen to weave the times, the text messaging, and the call into a simple story which they are sticking to.

    59. Hopefloats on June 27th, 2005 9:38 pm

      Hmmm..wow I was just watching Fox and got to see them talk to Croes at his home. Did anyone else see it and if you did, do you think that alot they were seen on camera look like “crackheads?” Was a scary looking bunch and I am not trying to be rude. They surely didn’t look like they had the same quality of life as the Vds and the Kalpoes

    60. Lucy on June 27th, 2005 9:38 pm

      buyme

      Apparently, Natalee stayed at the party with the boyfriend of the first three days.

    61. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:38 pm

      Wasn’t school soon over for Joran, was that Monday the last day?

      Chris, you’re assuming you would know that your son went to pick him up :) We’ve already established per Joran that he “snuck out”, not that he needed to with an attached apartment. First time he snuck out, doubt it. And we’re talking about a teenager on aruba who is possibly driving underage, drinking underage, and gambling. Probably a little different from your boys.

      So in that one night, he’s at Carlos & Charlies, Lighthouse, on beach, driving around, McDonald’s, sneaking out, walking home at 2:40. Awful lot going on that night.

    62. cbudd on June 27th, 2005 9:38 pm

      I think there is a thread of truth to theirr original story. I do believe they took Natalee to the lighthouse. I think they raped her and murdered at that location. I do not believe that Joran would take her to the beach near the Marriott due to the possibility of others strolling the beach. I think the three boys disposed of her body within a 10 mile radius of either the light house or Joran’s home. I don’t see them calling dad for help. I think they agreed upon the lighthouse/ Holiday Inn story because they did not consider the surveillance cameras. Dad probably came into the picture the night the Holloways showed up. Between now and then the body could have been moved.

    63. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:40 pm

      what boyfriend.. I keep hearing she was with another guy the first three nights.. Where did you get this from. I have not read it in any of the news postings

    64. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:40 pm

      seems like the three boys would be pressed for time ie picking her up at the club at 130 then joran leaving her on the beach around 240 ie hiding the body seems it might be more feasible they left her at a party and went home

    65. Hopefloats on June 27th, 2005 9:40 pm

      Edie…supposedly that is Lorenzo the guy in the blue van from what I recall of all the postings.

    66. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:41 pm

      Lucy, are you picking a fight?

      Just giving comments and my opinions, I can assure Big Pappy is NOT always right.

    67. edie on June 27th, 2005 9:41 pm

      Lorenzo the crazy guy?

      Big and cbudd

      From the bottom of my heart, you guys have quite a bit of catching up to do.

    70. MadMan on June 27th, 2005 9:42 pm

      lady’s and gentlemen

      i’ve been reading a lot of the post’s on this site and some times it hurts to see Aruba being bashed and its people. They blame everything on Aruba. it’s government and it’s people. I’ve got a problem with that.

      You people say bring in the USA and they’ll solve this in a minute.

      They brought in a search team. they were going to find her in a day ??

      Do you realy think that if Joran and his friends had a couple of days to get rid of the evidence that anybody is going to find anything. The current around these islands would have washed the body away without anybody finding a trace.

      It’s sad but a fact

    71. Hopefloats on June 27th, 2005 9:42 pm

      I could be wrong but that is what I remember reading

    72. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:43 pm

      i was referring to why joran walked home , ie no ride

    73. cbudd on June 27th, 2005 9:43 pm

      Lucy - what do you mean?

    74. Shango on June 27th, 2005 9:44 pm

      Babalu opened a window looking into babylon on his 12:31 A.M. Post

      DirtyHand is alive

    75. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:45 pm

      Uh, Lucy, frrom the bottom of MY heart, please enlighten me then, I’ve been on here all day and don’t think I’ve missed anything. Beyond the cryptic Lorenzo/Blue Van/Columbians references all of which lead nowhere and are only discussed on here and nowhere else.

      So what do I need to catch up on?

    76. Shango on June 27th, 2005 9:46 pm

      Shango said the key to the Hague did not exist

      that door to eden remains closed

      until the house with the path

      But not of gold

      is entered

    77. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:47 pm

      Shango is back with the 12:31 AM post thing again, but this time, Dirtyhand is alive? I don’t think you ever said Dirtyhand was dead? Arggggg

    78. Concerned on June 27th, 2005 9:48 pm

      I also am curious, what boyfriend of three days?
      Where are the characters that set us up with the noon prediction that something would be on the news shortly??

    79. Peggy on June 27th, 2005 9:48 pm

      I think there is a misunderstanding. I read that the ‘other boy’ was her cousin.

    80. Shango on June 27th, 2005 9:48 pm

      Babalu knew who dirty hand was at half past 12

    81. Hopefloats on June 27th, 2005 9:49 pm

      no package from the Hague? and the house where they need to look is not the Vds?

    82. buyme on June 27th, 2005 9:49 pm

      I think what Shango and Simian are saying is that a underground rave party was where the 4 went (kalpoes, jvds, nh). drugs and other vices were involved including xtc. this leads to many tangled webs as the drug dealers and polis are friendly with one another. if the “one” speaks out he will bring down the entire operation. The polis and the drug dealers have enough (or at least they hope) pull to keep the truth from coming out.

    83. cj on June 27th, 2005 9:49 pm

      Dirty hand was chief of polis?

    84. cbudd on June 27th, 2005 9:49 pm

      Peggy - I also read that the other boy was her cousin.

    85. Concerned on June 27th, 2005 9:50 pm

      Stop it now. Say what you need to say. The video game names/lingua are bogus.

    86. Hopefloats on June 27th, 2005 9:50 pm

      someone please enlighten me again who dirty hand is?

    87. chimes on June 27th, 2005 9:50 pm

      Hello, nice to be back! So, Shango, Babalu opened the door re: his 12:30am post.

    88. Big Pappy on June 27th, 2005 9:50 pm

      Two houses, one with a path of gold. Until the house without the path of gold is entered, the door to eden won’t be opened.

      The house with the path of gold, would that be dirtyhands house? And the other, would that be the Columbian party house?

      Sorry, been catching up.

    89. Dman on June 27th, 2005 9:50 pm

      Dirty Hand = police chief ?

    90. Concerned on June 27th, 2005 9:51 pm

      This is not the place to mess with people’s heads. The focus is Natalee; completion and closure.

    91. chris on June 27th, 2005 9:51 pm

      is there a mystery in aruba chat room where one can go and discuss the disappearance

    92. Shango on June 27th, 2005 9:51 pm

      DirtyHand walks with the Babylons, the Arawaks and is consort to the fallen elder

      The gods are talking

      No, I guess he is head of some local official corps. He is the guy that knows everything and that has been in the house of Babylonians NOT seeking pleasure for himself, so Shango says. So maybe he went to search for Natalee and he is the chief of Polis.

    95. cj on June 27th, 2005 9:52 pm

      “one straight path” “not of gold bricks” only one house, right?

    96. buyme on June 27th, 2005 9:53 pm

      i am just trying to decipher their words madman. nothing more, nothing less.

    97. cbudd on June 27th, 2005 9:53 pm

      Lucy - are you still there?

    98. Concerned on June 27th, 2005 9:53 pm

      Dirty Hand could also twistedly refer to Natalee. Not that DH is credible.

    99. Lucy on June 27th, 2005 9:53 pm

      cbudd

      What I mant was that the possibilities of Natalee being killed and dispossed of around the Holiday Inn have been eliminated. She is reportedly on video at the kaseeno with the group of people she partied with during the days before. Her boyfriend from the initial three days is supposed to be a piece of work that rapidly brushed Joran off when he arrived with her at some party.

      The Kalpoes were not even at C N’C. They merely provided a ride to Joran and Natalee and even if they took them to the light house, they dropped them off in front of the Marriott. Some reports indicate that phone records show that Joran did not have enough time to commit the crime, and get rid of the body, etc.

    100. MadMan on June 27th, 2005 9:53 pm

      and shango is worse

    101. cj on June 27th, 2005 9:54 pm

      Where can we discuss Natalee??

    103. Lucy on June 27th, 2005 9:55 pm

      Shango

      So you are saying DH is Jan van der Straten. And you also say that DH is not Babylonian, and van der Straten sounds pretty Babylonian to me.

    104. MadMan on June 27th, 2005 9:56 pm

      Babylon = police ??

    105. cj on June 27th, 2005 9:57 pm

      If not seeking pleasure for himself, why is he there?

      concerned

      Now there is a great question…..These coded messages are really a waste of time for people wanting answers

    109. IndDayLady on June 27th, 2005 9:58 pm

      I’ve been following posts on this site and on websleuths for a few days. Not watching the various newscasts, these two sites have helped me to understand more about the Natalee Hollaway disappearance.

      As a newcomer, I would like to offer a few thoughts, for what they’re worth. My interest in this case is as a mother, a woman, a fellow US citizen, and simply another human being. Researching this case has definitely changed my view of the desirability and the safety of those tropical vacations and cruises I’ve considered signing my family onto. That will not be happening now.

      Kidnappings and sells into the slave trade do most definitely happen. The Amy Bradley (unsure if that’s exactly correct name) case is a chilling example. She was 23 yrs. old and with her family. In a 30 minute timespan she simply vanished. Ths cruise ship docked despite family pleas to first search the ship and question passengers. The company, according to the family, did absolutely nothing to help them then or since.

      Reports have come in of sightings of her in a brothel, but that’s another story. Previously I thought that the targeted victims would be alone, vulnerable, unlikely to be quickly missed. But that wasn’t the case with Amy or with the single travel reporter from the US who simiply vanished a few year ago, I think in Aruba as well. Amy’s mother reported recently that the bar that a ship waiter wanted to take Amy offship to in Aruba was the same bar that Natalee was last seen leaving.

      I have no doubt that some bartenders spike women’s drinks for various purposes. Could this have happened to Natalee? It’s certainly possible and as a mother with no body of my missing daughter that possibility would torment me.

      Did J set up Natalee for his own pleasure, for the pleasure of he and his “friends”, or for money for whatever reasons? If he was involved in any dealings with a cartel then he, his father, and the other two men are right to be scared.

      Personally, however, the whole situation smacks too much of bumbling and fumbling to have been an elaborate setup. I am more inclined to think that her drink may have been drugged and that she may have been tricked into leaving with them. Or she may have wanted to visit a party house but was too far gone to protect herself. With no report back on the panties/condoms that were found, then it’s impossible to judge which scenario is more likely.

      Did she go voluntarily and get in over her head or was she kidnapped from the point of leaving the bar? We may never know. If a cartel is involved then no one is going to talk. As many of you have pointed out, a prison sentence is prefarable to that.

      If Joran and/or the other two are solely responsible for her disappearance then they are obviously holding out because there is no body. IF the Aruban officials are having a lot of heat from above, then someone will have to take a fall, whether or not they are the only one responsible. But are they feeling true heat or simply biding their time before releasing the remaining suspects? That’s the biggest question in my mind.

      The Aruban police were nonchalant and dismissive initially to her parents. That’s why I won’t be travelling to any of these countries and definitely will not be allowing my daughter to travel there. A lot more serious activity than the type of partying that most of us probably remember from high school and college days is commonplace there. That’s clear from this case. It’s not anywhere as safe as we’ve been thinking. I’ve read on tripadvisor that unescorted girls and women are harassed by the men in bars, that they are very aggressive. These kids were out of their element and in much more danger than any of them realized. It’s a tragic instruction for the rest of us.

      I admire NH’s mom for her strength and her persistence. I’d be setting up residence in Aruba until I got the answers I came for. And I hope she does the same.

      Lucy - Thanks for the update. I thought you had left. I guess I do have a lot of catching up to do. I was unaware that Natalee had a boyfriend much less on the same trip. I also did not know that Natalee had been seen at a party (I am assuming this was after the 4 left CnC). I figure she is on lots of video footage at the casino but how is that related to her disappearance.

      According to CNN, Deepak’s lawyer is stating that the cell phone records show Joran called Deepak at 2:40 - and then texted him again 40 minutes later - the approximate time it takes to walk from the beach to Joran’s house. Thought - what if Joran convinced/asked or talked Natalee in going to his house (since his Mom was away and he has his own “apartment”)? And if that is the case, maybe that explains why they might have thought they had a “hit” near the quarry.

      ‘Evening, Concerned. Interesting how things have transpired. I do hope that the quarry is appropriately well proteceted if they are not diving. On the other hand, with underwater lighting the colors are so brilliant in night diving. Just a speculation that something might glimmer or shine to the divers attention.

    128. ExGman on June 27th, 2005 10:02 pm

      One of two things is going on. Either a break in the case is imminent or they are back to square one. The release of papa VS doesnt bode well. It may very well be that the authorities cannot disprove the current story being given by the three in custody. The cell phone records have confirmed the the time of the calls/text message, which fits in their timeline story. If there is no forensic proof to the contrary, they will go free without a body. That reality is hitting home with the family. The currents around the island are very strong. If she was put in the ocean, at this late date, she will never be found.

      XYZ - that is a great theory! I don’t see anything happening at the beach. It is too public. If it didn’t happen at the lighthouse. I suspect it happened at his house/apartment. I felt like Beth believed that she was in the house at 3:00am that morning.

    142. IndDayLady on June 27th, 2005 10:05 pm

      One other thing - the fact that these “boys” were perfectly willing to set up two men (the security guards) from the “working” class and that the Aruban police quicly and confidently barged in on these two men says a lot about the system there, socially and legally.

      It also says everything about the morals of these boys. And PVDS. If they truly thought that that would take care of it, then no wonder PVDS didn’t pass the exam for a higher judgeship. Bumbling and fumbling.

      Checkme - How confident are you in your theory about NH being kidnapped or hurt at a party being hosted by the Columbians? Is it an alternate theory or a predominant one in your mind?

      Also, do the Columbians control you guys that much in Aruba? If so, I feel sad for you people that you have to turn the other way in light of such heinous crimes (murder, human sex and drug trafficking). Sure, we have the same crimes and the mafia in the U.S., but we also have people with some courage, which appears to be lacking in this case.

    158. XYZ on June 27th, 2005 10:10 pm

      Also - the reports indicating that Joran did not have enough time to commit a crime and dispose of the body are confusing. There has been no body found - therefore no time of death - so how could they know if there was “time to commit a crime”. Natalee could have fallen asleep at Joran’s - passed out in her sleep and not waken up. Who knows. Until her body is found (hopefuly alive) - there are too many unanswered questions and too many opportunities for speculation.

    159. IndDayLady on June 27th, 2005 10:11 pm

      Anyone remember the movie “Salems Lot” …Rob Lowe was a writer that eventually told the townfolk he was writing a story of what evils and secrets small towns hold and what is behind the scenes that noone sees unless they look deep within. I am thinking that sparks a light on what is being done here. A deep dark secret that is not wanting to rear its ugly head and because of this one incident alot of light is shining down on it that might open alot more than meets the eye.

    181. XYZ on June 27th, 2005 10:22 pm

      cbudd, yes, I too thought about this. I think that Dad may have seen her at the house. Which also might explain why the boys would lie about where they dropped Natalee. It just has always seemed odd that he states that he left her alone at the beach. Why would he need to collaborate with the other boys on where he left her. Why was the need to distance himself as much as possible from the location of where she was last seen. One of the boys has stated “something bad happened” - which on its own can mean one hundred million different things - but I think this - if Joran was the one who said “something bad happened” - he is deflecting. He has already tried to implicate Deepak & Satish according to one of the brother’s attorneys. If one of the brothers stated “something bad happened” - then perhaps it is because the next day in conversation Joran told them what happened. Again - so much to speculate.

    190. observer on June 27th, 2005 10:25 pm

      The analogy to OJ is not a good one. In OJ, they had a trial, presented evidence, but the jury decided not to believe a white racist police department investigating a high-profile person with an investigation filled w/ mistakes — but at least they had a trial and witnesses spoke up.

      The Aruba situation is different - although they have not yet found her, no person with a reasonable mind can say that she is either dead or was kidnapped - she did not just voluntarily walk away. Theories have floated — Juron killed her, or someone kidnapped her (Columbians or whoever), or maybe she’s sold into slavery. Yet, rather than tipping off the police, the locals and Aruban and Dutch loyalists on here simply defend the VDS family or hide behind the veil that they cannot turn in the Columbians (or the real “bad people”) — why the need for the code language above?

      How would you guys react if your own daugther suffered this fate.

      You may prefer for this case to go unresolved and that people will forget. Maybe many will, but this exposure will leave a bad taste in many people’s mouths.

    191. scaredshitless on June 27th, 2005 10:25 pm

      OJ is a shithead but he killed Nicole in the heat of passion..it was his exwife

      Natalee did NOT deserve what happened to her..she’s someone’s KID ON VACATION

      they found Nicole’s body - where is NATALEE”S so the parents can have CLOSURE?

    192. Hopefloats on June 27th, 2005 10:26 pm

      I am not gonna argue the OJ case here but there was evidence that was or could have been tampered and the cops were too eager to convict him and messed things up, with that gave a reasonable doubt which in any trial is means of a not guilty verdict just like with MJ. I thought OJ was guilty I am not saying he was innocent.

    193. scaredshitless on June 27th, 2005 10:27 pm

      Anyone with half a brain knows OJ is guilty. He is a son of a bitch and will get his just desserts when he faces God someday

    194. buyme on June 27th, 2005 10:28 pm

      if the same evidence was provided to a judge to decide a verdict instead of a jury of 12, OJ would be watching his back when picking up a bar of soap in the shower.

      I think there is a thread of truth to theirr original story. I do believe they took Natalee to the lighthouse. I think they raped her and murdered at that location. I do not believe that Joran would take her to the beach near the Marriott due to the possibility of others strolling the beach. I think the three boys disposed of her body within a 10 mile radius of either the light house or Joran’s home. I don’t see them calling dad for help. I think they agreed upon the lighthouse/ Holiday Inn story because they did not consider the surveillance cameras. Dad probably came into the picture the night the Holloways showed up. Between now and then the body could have been moved.

      That is an absolte posibility. That just gave me a whole new thought. If you are reading this have you told the police officers your idea and if so have you suggested that they search that area? Have they searched it? If so, that would be spectacular, do you think that the body could have drifted out to see? If so we will probably have no hope of finding her. But, I probably shouldn’t say that. Oh… What is happening to the world?Good Gosh!

      Well, I’m glad the Arubans are not scared of the Americans in general - you should not be. But let me suggest something, I think you should be afraid of the Holloways - just their demeanor today, they are not going to just go away, whether they need to take justice in their own hands or not.

      Where did you get the info that the dogs had a ”hit”? None of the local news or radio had anything to say about this tonight. I think this story is false.

    223. Bham on June 27th, 2005 10:39 pm

      Observer, I agree - It is clear that the Arubians are a country of lies and deceit - I haven’t seen an Arubian that is directly involved do anything ethical as of yet - Joran and friends have proven they will lie, the DJ admits he’s a liar, we all saw Paulus lie about his judge status during interview with Gretia, the authorities have deilberatly not used resources that would ensure the finding of Natalee and resolving this case ie: they didn’t use FBI divers or investigative team that has experience with this type case, they waited ample time before making arrests allowing the boys to meet to get rid of evidence and get their stories straight, allowed time for Paulus to get rid of any remaining evidence once joran was arrested -

      Innocent people want to offer evidence to their innocence. Innocent people offer help in the investigation and provide evidence to prove why they are innocent - such as I couldn’t have done it because I was here or I was on the internet, check the computer or phone logs etc. Guilty people have a confrontational attitude such as the same attitudes of Paulus the night of May 31 and Joran when he arrogantly beat his chest in boredom when Beth asked about her daughter.

      This case is old and I am not now nor will I ever be impressed with Aruba. They had every possible chance in the world to do the right thing by this case - they chose not to - they chose to be liars and they chose to delay investigations to solve the case -

      We have the beautiful beaches of Hawaii - why in the world would anyone want to visit Aruba after this?

      DRAX: I think he means neither the Kalpoes nor the young Dutch boys went to the beach that night. They and NH went to a Rave (follow the music) where the gamblers were present. Not sure who the gamblers were.

      BTW, hate to say it, but Simian’s and Shock’s info from the other night re: confession, etc. . . didn’t turn out to be so accurate unless I am remembering things wrong.

      But Shango appears to be suggesting the beach story is BS and instead they all ended up at a Rave where the gamblers and NH took XTC.

      Steve Croes was detained because he overheard something and repeated it. The elder vdS was detained because of something someone of the Holloway/Twitty group told the police happened when NH’s mother visited with the vdS’. There is absolutely nothing to indicate that there was something more. I think everyone is so gungho on the vdS’ that no one is looking elsewhere which I think is a big mistake.

      Observer - I saw that too - I have no tolerance for that kind of ethics - They sat on their butts and let the leads go cold. What if the scenario that Natalee was sold or kidnapped was actually true - She’s certainly deceased now because she became too hot and Aruba bumbled around so they could protect their lying precious Vandersloots - whatever happened that night - Arubians allowed Natalee to be killed. My compassion for their inexperience is over - they could have done the right thing.

      Hey Lucy and edie. I think buyme has it. Joran (the sacrificial lamb not being scape”goatted” left the party, as witnessed by the gambles, and NH remained there.

      Missed the SHIVAS did not know the girl hint. Shivas do not play with sandcastles == Kalpoes never @ beach, either then.

      But if JVDS left her alive at a party, and Kalpoes never saw her, why concoct this story about dropping her off. Taking a girl to a rave where she gets high on X and does not want to leave does not = crime or a reason to be afraid enough to lie about being there.

      Please don’t start whining about no evidence and what a good boy joran is - there is plenty of evidence of lies and deliberate delays in the investigation. Any arguments otherwise are a blatant refusal to admit guilt and look at facts.

      Maze with seven levels - Marriott. Send an FBI agent to the Marriott to try and get drugs. Many of the tickle site commentators mentioned Marriott parties - at both JvDs and Valentijn’s sites.

      who is dirty hands?

    293. new girl on June 27th, 2005 11:01 pm

      I don’t think Lorenzo is dirty hand. The repeated references to Babalu’s 12:30 post make that clear. But our tipsters have suggested that Lorenzo had a motive to harm Natalee for blowing him off in favor of Joran later in the week, and there have been rumblings about Lorenzo being crazy and not someone you want to mess with.

      I think Simian was at one time suggesting that Lorenzo has slaughtered dogs and that something is wrong with him.

      The Drax asks a question for which he already provided an answer.

    295. lisabobeesa on June 27th, 2005 11:02 pm

      and why is joran calling his Kalpoe pals at all hours of teh night…why are they his taxi service??? weird!

    296. buyme on June 27th, 2005 11:02 pm

      dirtyhand = PVDS?

    297. Yliana on June 27th, 2005 11:03 pm

      A stretch indeed, subdude

    298. Dana on June 27th, 2005 11:03 pm

      I find the whole thing creepy. I am also Danish, Chris in the Halls.

    299. Shango on June 27th, 2005 11:04 pm

      Babalu opened a window looking onto Babylon with his 12:30 A.M. post

    300. chimes on June 27th, 2005 11:05 pm

      That’s unfortunate, Shango.
      Is it that the lamb left for home and left Mary behind
      2 b preyed upon in the raving lion’s den
      then escaped back to lbe with her her again?

      In respect to the Holloway/Twitty and families. Their faith gives them so much strength. Oddly, I have never come across any kind of falsification amist the entire incidence.

    301. edie on June 27th, 2005 11:05 pm

      I personally think Nh went with JVDS somewhere obviously she was on x or was given the date rape drug unknowingly, she was out of it- she woke up in the middle of something bad happening to her- rape maybe, and she was killed to silence her.

    304. lisabobeesa on June 27th, 2005 11:07 pm

      what i keep wondring is why Deepak told mickey j that he expected Natalee to be found in some crack house or beach bar? i mean if they dropped them at beach what transpired to make him come to that conclusion..doesnt add up or correlate to their version of what they say happened that night?

      Bahm, judges come and go - they usually stay with a contract of 3 to 5 yrs. I’m not even going to go into ethics in the legal system because the system is the US is by no means ALL ETHICS!

      I don’t know if JvdS is a good boy or not - hell, he might be as guilty as sin. The fact is that the only evidence there is, is that they were the last to be seen with NH. That is no evidence. It’s speculation. These kids would be home already if it were in the US.

    307. edie on June 27th, 2005 11:08 pm

      The security gaurd could have been lying as well.

    308. drax on June 27th, 2005 11:08 pm

      Shango says: The Drax asks a question for which he already provided an answer.

      I don’t understand, Shango.

      Dana, are you big hefty woman like my Danish spousal?

    310. edie on June 27th, 2005 11:09 pm

      I think he meant PVDS

    311. lisabobeesa on June 27th, 2005 11:10 pm

      drax ..he means u guessed the dirty hand as paul van der sloot

    312. Babalú on June 27th, 2005 11:10 pm

      He’s talking about Dirty Hands identity, please refer to my post of yesterday 12:30 AM. He is JVDS, and not Joran.

    313. new girl on June 27th, 2005 11:10 pm

      This is from June 22nd - and I believe is a reference to Lorenzo:

      Checkme…check this…and please recheck:

      Girl comes to Aruba. Meets cool and crazy guy in C@$ino. Goes out with him. He declares that to be the case. Can’t deny it. It’s on tape. Everybody in the C@$ino knows the group of teens, they have been drinking in there for free the whole week.

      After a couple of days girl meets another boy in the same C@$ino. Goes out with him. This makes first guy really mad. So mad he confronts second boy.

      First guy never denies the affair. He knows they know he was with her. However, he has an airtight alibi. Some friends say they were at home with him. Until the morning.

      How can this ever be solved?

      So who are the gamblers at the casino with Joran, are they the children of Babal, Arabs or what?

      well having an alibi in aruba seems to mean nothing…look at the 2 black security guards…they had alibis

    321. observer on June 27th, 2005 11:13 pm

      why don’t you spineless people mention some of your theories to the Aruban authorities? scared?

      You can free VDS, but Alabama justice will probably take over from there.

    323. Bham on June 27th, 2005 11:13 pm

      Ok Yliana - just like the rest of the Dutch - go ahead and continue to ignore all the lies because it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. I wonder why they let the DJ go since supposedly all of this questioning is under oath and he admitted he lied - boys lied - everyone is lying - I guess in your world that’s all about ethics.

      I know we have problems in the US justice system - but we admit it - we don’t run around covering up for our criminals - Hell you can have OJ and Michael Jackson - do whatever you want with them - but we didn’t take one of your residents, allow continual lying without ANY consequences and then intentionally botch the investigation. Whatever happened to her - Aruba is covering.

      Let ’s don’t continue this conversation. I have no respect for this passive “anything could have happened to her attitude” that you people keep spewing. It’s old. You take no responsibility for the lies or come up with what you consider acceptable reasons for lying. If you lie = you’re guilty. PERIOD!

    324. Elaina on June 27th, 2005 11:13 pm

      First, the fact that Joran and the Kalpoes are not involved is bogus. Second, the statement that was made about Little VDS and the timeframe was “where would a 17yo get rid of or hide a body in that small amount of time. Third, Joran has been doing all “those “things that are illegal for a couple of years now. He has been going to casinos and Karlos and Charlies since at least 2004. He was at the blackjack table where Natalee and her friends were sitting. NO ONE SAID they did not have time to committ the crime. Right now they are still following the lead based on “these people being on the beach.”
      The timeline is all wrong. Paulis and Anita are both lying. All suspects are lying.
      Natalee is there. She is waiting to be found. Waiting is all she can do. Steve Croes is a liar. He is not innocent. He believes he has escaped culpability. Watch his body language and esp. his facial expressions.
      When we say things about “boycotting Aruba” we are not trying to punish all people of Aruba. The government needs to suffer from much pressure. What better way to start applying pressure than for the people to get fed up with their government. What will make people fed up with the way a government is handling things? Hit them in the wallet. Aruba is a big travel industry. Fewer tourists, less moola to float around. We need to get an international agency that is unbiased involved. Like Interpole. We need the DEA to start looking into strange “traffic” We need to go from every angle we can. This is not just about Natalee.
      Natalee’s mom and stepdad should not have said they do not care what happens to the boys “they just want Natalee back.” This is sending a message to any foreign country that because their laws are different that someone can kill an American girl and it does not matter to the rest of the world. That because their laws are different it is ok. So the next time it could be someone elses daughter, sister, mother, niece, cousin, girlfriend. This is wrong.
      Natalee is there. One of her fathers have been close to where she was at some point, during the tragic hours of her life or where she lay. She is waiting and we cannot let this get buried. There are more secrets then the death/disappearance of Natalee. For now, Natalee is the important thing. She is waiting. Please do not give up. Near rocky parts or places of shadowy rocks where the hermit crabs reside. Also, there is a piece of jewelry overlooked. A piece of sentimental meaning. Please everyone believe she can be found. She can be found and they need the positive support.

      Tom, Red, and all the loyal Scared Monkey Bloggers (Riehl World Bloggers, too) who have been following Natalee Halloway’s disappearance… It is my sincere hope that upon conclusion of this matter everyone involved here can focus on finding/uncovering the truth about the disappearance of Amy Bradley. The power of blogging has been an instrumental part of binging to light the truth behind what happened to NH and I hope that it can now be focused on helping the Bradley family with their plight. As we all can attest to, blogging in 1998 was not what it is today, so hopefully blogging can play an integral part in this other disappearance of a young American woman in South America.

      My response? Because it would require implicating people who he is terrified of - a psycho violent drug dealer and possibly someone in the polis

    335. Elaina on June 27th, 2005 11:17 pm

      Joran is bidding his time and following advice. If he does not talk, he does not screw up. In Aruba, not talking can be an asset.

    336. subdude on June 27th, 2005 11:17 pm

      Per Shango’s last post: DH is in the polis, I think the Chief who is apparently buddies with PVDS. Sorry I missed 36 hours or so of posts> Van Der Straten? Who and how connected?

      When I refered to the Arabs, I did because in one of his long poems, Shango makes reference to the Sumerians. So I asummed that. I understand the leading business people in Aruba and Curazao, are very richly rich families of either Arab or Jewish origins, established there for centuries.
