In Curacao the OM Believes that People Should be Protected from Suspects of Murder & Rape, Why Don’t they in Aruba?

 

In Willemstad, Curocao the public prosecutor (OM) believes that suspects of felonies like murder and rape should not be walking the street. The citizens and innocent people walking the streets should not be put in harms way. So why does the public prosecutor in Aruba not feel the same? Why is it not only okay to let suspects walk the street, but also to let them go altogether and close the case even though they believe the suspects played a part in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

Suspects of felonies like murder or rape cannot be wandering the streets, just because there is no room in the House of Detention.  “A judge that does that does not recognize dilemmas and because of that neglects his/her duty.”

This is the reaction of the Public Prosecutor on lawyer Eldon ‘Peppie’ Sulvaran’s claim in this paper last Saturday that suspects ‘rot’ in the police-cells longer than the allowable maximum norm of 18 days, due to insufficient room in prison.  “What would the reaction of a victim of a robbery be, if the suspect is released shortly after the committed crime, due to lack of cells and the victim is perhaps still in the hospital?”

Why isn’t the prosecutor in Aruba doing what their job description most certainly states, prosecuting criminals? Not just violent crimes … any crime that a suspected individual has committed. Instead in Aruba, they seem to only prosecute those crimes that those in power give them the okay to. Those suspected of crimes who are people of privilege or are associates of those in power are turned loose under the guise of not enough evidence. However, maybe there would have been enough evidence if investigators had actually properly investigated a crime instead of attempting to covering it up from the start.

OM: Also the citizens ought to be protected (Amigoe, 12/20/2007)

WILLEMSTAD – Suspects of felonies like murder or rape cannot be wandering the streets, just because there is no room in the House of Detention.  “A judge that does that does not recognize dilemmas and because of that neglects his/her duty.”

This is the reaction of the Public Prosecutor on lawyer Eldon ‘Peppie’ Sulvaran’s claim in this paper last Saturday that suspects ‘rot’ in the police-cells longer than the allowable maximum norm of 18 days, due to insufficient room in prison.  “What would the reaction of a victim of a robbery be, if the suspect is released shortly after the committed crime, due to lack of cells and the victim is perhaps still in the hospital?”

The OM has no control over the number of available (police) cells.  It’s the elected Parliament–members that decide on the budget for justice and the priorities.  “Parliament discussed the increase of the punishment for car-robberies recently, but as long as no budget is allocated for decent cell-space that meets international standard, the discussion remains informal”, said the OM.  And this is despite being creative in minimizing the use of cell-capacity by not locking up drug couriers, but instead ban them from travel.  

Sulvaran didn’t only mention the situation of the police-cells.  He specially lashed out against according to him, the high-handedness that seems to exist when the examining magistrate decides on the custody of suspects.  He says that there is no critical thorough dossier investigation preceding the ‘stamp-sessions’ that take place every Tuesday in prison, while the case-prosecutor sends an ‘ignorant’ colleague to be present.  It seems that the custody has already been decided in advance, concludes Sulvaran.  

The OM mentions in its written reaction that “the prosecution of suspects is explicitly reserved for an objective and professional instance to avoid political prosecution for example, like the ones that took place in the former Soviet-Union.  Basic assumption is that everybody is innocent until proven guilty and sentenced in the court of law.” 

During the custody, for which the OM takes the initiative and the judge checks whether it is correct, ‘the suspect is represented by his lawyer and he can appeal that custody’.  “The OM is required to follow the judge’s custody order.  Immediately after he has been arrested, the suspect is put in a police-cell, but according to the Criminal Code, after a maximum of 10 days in custody and if the judge orders detention after that, he/she must be locked up in a House of Detention.

      I wonder if the OM in Curacao would consider transferring to Aruba? Sounds like he has more sense and is less underhanded than all the assholes in Aruba put together!! Hats off to Peppie :-)

      BOYCOTT ARUBA AND THE NETHERLANDS TIL HELL FREEZES OVER!!

      JUSTICE FOR NATALEE :-)

      Bullish comment from the Persistence:

      “Update: Wed. 20-Dec -0430 hrs
      The Persistence has completed the first day of the side scan sonar search. The search team is very optimistic about the probability of finding Natalee Holloway. The data quality is excellent and the conditions are sufficient to carry out the detailed search.”

      Actually Aruban officials KNOW who committed the crimes against Natalee. Remember, they had a confession that they can’t use. They also appear to have at least some evidence (email messages?, computer forensics?, cell phone triangulations?) that should give them very strong circumstantial evidence (plus of course 22 stories, “no body, no case”). So IMHO they KNOW, they simply can’t PROVE in a court of law with a judge who is Paulus’ friend.

      The ARUBA BOYCOTT of 2008 is ON and WORKING. It’s like the “little engine that could”. This baby is picking up steam and rolling down the track!

      Once the sea coughs up Natalee, and she is returned home, we will allow Aruba to wither away and die. And die it will. As sure as the Natural Bridge collapsed….so will Aruba’s economy. Payback is a bitch.

    17. Dan on December 20th, 2007 1:10 pm

      Natalee will be found one way or another. Live or Dead, she will be found. Aruba, you have done nothing but hurt yourself for depriving the Holloway family the truth. The entire world is watching you and how you react to this. Stop the lieing and come forth with the truth. You cannot think you can shovel more bull our way, the writing is on the wall so to speak. ” Natalee Holloway ” is a household name, We want our Daughter home where she belongs. What part of Boycott do you not understand? I will Boycott your island till I die and Im very sure most others will as well. You want to protect the sloots and the Kalpoes, go right ahead, but ask yourself this,is it worth your lively hood? Aruba is sinking into a slum island and soon it will be the trash island we all want to throw away. Avoid, Pass By, Skip, OMG, the list so grows. Someone on the island needs to grow some Balls and speak up. Right now you are the armpit of the world and your secret deodorant stopped working a long time ago. Someone said in another blog that you have not felt the wrath of the boycott yet, this was just the warm up, lol, and I so agree. You have no idea what the American people can do to you, lol. So tighten your shoe laces and do expect the worst…..Despite what you may think, we as americans do stick together and fight till the death, you want to mess with us bring it on, you are going down Aruba, you have not only hurt yourself, you have pissed us off in your childish investigation, and actions. We will take you down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    18. Dan on December 20th, 2007 1:25 pm

      And furthermore, I do believe its time to start getting to know the papa sloots friends and turning up the heat by mentioning names here on the net. We all need to research their friends and bring their names in the light of things and their friends as well. Lets turn the heat on high!! Lets see how many scummy friends the sloots do have, and the Kalpoes. The question is, do the friends want to be associated with them nationally, lol…………. If enough pressure is applied the top of the cooker will blow……Its the nature of pressure…

    19. Dan on December 20th, 2007 1:39 pm

      I am in Nevada, and I am boycotting Aruba, every chance I get I mention Natalee and I get very possitive responses, So Nevada is on the warpath with everyone else. JUSTICE FOR NATALEE, Boycott Aruba, WE WANT OUR DAUGHTER ‘ NATALEE HOME ‘

    20. Ralph on December 20th, 2007 1:40 pm

      The boycott while effective, will only hurt the Arubans of lower socioeconomic levels. The children of the judges all have plenty of money to ride out any recession we can induce. They also have the power to leave.

      I agree with Dan; it can be quite effective to begin photographing their “friends” who come and go and to expose them on International blog sites.

      What about Joran’s little brothers? What is their story? They are little spawns of Anita and Paulus. Their gene pool has produced at least one monster that we know of in Joran. Let’s hear some news on his two little brothers. Let’s follow their lives for a while.

    21. Dan on December 20th, 2007 1:53 pm

      Thank you Ralph, the sloots have slammed and hammered the Holloways long enough, it’s time the shoe drops and the sloots get their dose of medicine.

    22. Richard on December 20th, 2007 1:56 pm

      To all those who question the validity or anything else about the boycott of Aruba …

      suggest alternative ways of exerting pressure.

      You can’t? Didn’t think so.

    23. Ralph on December 20th, 2007 1:59 pm

      If we keep this up in the news for the next 30+ years, their lives will be in ruins just like OJ Simpson. If these boys ever do manage to find wives, we can splash their images all over world news.

      As their children grow, we can put microphones in their faces and ask them, “How does it feel to know your dad murdered a beautiful young woman?”

      No doubt about it, this story will follow them all the days of their lives. Joran has better things to do than think about this? I guarantee you, this is in his mind daily. If he even thinks for a moment he will be passed it, we will be there in the news and in cyberspace making certain this trail follows him until death.

      We all must consider that prison is more than a cage and four walls. People can also be publically flogged which is a type of imprisonment in and of itself.

      Target family members for the rest of their lives and remind them of the murderers among them. Find the Kalpoe parents and remind them daily that they gave birth to monsters. Ask Joran’s little brothers how it feels to be the brothers of a monster. Let Anita and Paulus know every time they step out of their compound that they fooled nobody.

      We will not allow them to put this behind themselves. Their lives will be destroyed whether they are behind bars or not!

      Keep them in the prison of public opinion for a lifetime!

    24. Dan on December 20th, 2007 2:00 pm

      lol, it had to come to this, so, we can play as dirty pool as the sloots have, and Im willing to bet we are better than they are.

      People should be protected from acts of terrorism that are taking place in the Caribbean.

      Is Natalee’s truth getting a little too close for somebody’s comfort?

      Natalee Holloway was targeted for gang rape, kidnapping, and all the hideous acts inflicted upon her – because she was innocent, because she was an innocent tourist American, visiting Aruba.

      However, it seems that there are some who are attempting to suggest that these predators in Aruba, who engaged in the most vicious human rights violations inflicted upon Natalee – have no links to the terrorist activities going on in the Caribbean.

      The new lingo is to call this hideous criminal conduct: “A REGULAR CRIME”.

      And why should we believe that, when so much has been done to cover up and destroy all the evidence, of what these despicable monsters did to an innocent American child?

      And whose word should we take on this version of claims, that the actions of the Aruban predators who executed the most heinous human rights violations upon Natalee Holloway – a traveling tourist to Aruba, is now – somehow not an act of premeditated terrorism against an American?

      Whose word should we take?
      Paulus Van der Sloot’s word?
      Maybe Van der Straten’s word? Dompig’s word?
      How about Oduber’s word?
      Or maybe Joran’s word?

      The list of unconscionable liars is so long in Aruba, it would be difficult to document all of them here and now.

      Americans have not engaged in the deceptive, dishonest, depraved practices and conduct in this case that the predatory co-conspiring murdering terrorists have engaged in.

      But Aruba now wants to sell the notion that this savagery was “just a REGULAR CRIME” !!!!

      “REGULAR” FOR WHO?

      Americans know a devil when we see one.

      And we do indeed know what terrorists look like after tourist planes were used as terrorist bombs to kill innocent Americans on September the 11th, – American targets selected simply because they were American.

      Those victimized Americans were selected as targets, planning went into their murder, planning went into the terrorists strategies and conduct used to target them, much the way the terrorists plotted to kidnap Natalee Holloway away and gang rape her, inflict untold suffering upon her, and then murder her, followed with the premeditative conduct involved in obstructing justice and covering up the criminal acts that were inflicted upon her…all the planning that was rewarded with extra incentives if an innocent American child was chosen.

      The new masquerade they used included having predatory men posing as “tourists” and staying at the same hotel as Natalee and the Mountain Brook children, in order for the terrorists to succeed in creating a false sense of safety and security in order to execute their criminal horrors on Natalee, a child and an American tourist.

      Predatory men posing as tourists at HOTELS and other tourist attractions, where tourists were lured into gathering, attractions promoted for the island night life, and this being done with the full cooperation and knowledge of Aruba’s police as well as individuals from the tourism sector on the island.

      This is no secret! Jacobs warned Dave, Natalee’s father to “watch his drink”, and spoke of drinks being drugged!

      A tourism employee spoke of knowledge of Joran Van der Sloots predatory conduct, and another leader in the Aruba’s tourism industry admitted that a cover up took place!

      What more proof do we need given the egregious efforts that were then implemented to cover up the hideous criminal acts of human rights violations inflicted upon Natalee Holloway!

      Predatory men posing as tourists who targeted a little defenseless girl, drugged her, so that they could then proceed to do all the wretched evil contemptuous acts they inflicted upon her while she was drugged and completely helpless.

      They even included a parent – a man dressed to be a “father” posing with his son at a tourist attraction right at Natalee’s hotel, claiming to be tourists, lying to Natalee and her friends, so as to create a very false sense of safety and security.

      And they lied to this child, telling her they were fellow tourists, just like she was, and staying at her Holiday Inn hotel, only Natalee had no idea that they were selecting her for their hideous criminal acts – which, I believe it was Deepak who referenced the successful plot as “hitting the jackpot”.

      Who paid the jackpot?
      Where did the proceeds from the “Jackpot” come from?
      Why was Joran so concerned that news about the “jackpot” they had hit was broadcast all over the phones that he knew were being tapped?

      We know what terrorist devils look like,
      ( based on their evil lies and evil conduct) …yes, their EVIL LIES AND EVIL CONDUCT, and their hatred for Americans and their premeditative acts to bring harm to Americans.

      Deepak: “We hit the jackpot!”
      Deppak: “They are going to pay me a lot of money!”

      Who paid Deepak? Where did the jackpot money come from?
      What was Deepak paid for?

      And all of this unfolding, while Oduber has his photo taken with Chavez who – seems to be entertaining WHICH terrorist who seems to have no love for Americans?

      The same predators who used tourist planes to bomb innocent Americans seem to offer incentives to murdering rapist kidnappers – just to TARGET YOUNG INNOCENT AMERICAN GIRLS, LIKE NATALEE HOLLOWAY.

      You think this is impossible?
      Go ask Deepak why he was going to get “a lot of money” and why Joran had “hit the jackpot”.

      Ask Oduber why the confession to the “KILLING OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY” needed to be buried.

      Ask Karin Janssen why she summoned the name of “Hitler” in her big “building up of an investigation”.

      Go ask Van der Straten why he was so busy trying to convince the press and all the media that Natalee “could have come through another way”, when – he knew she was never dropped off at all at her hotel, and that all the surveillance tapes proved that, as well as the fact that no “black guards” ever existed.

      Go ask Van der Straten how he could then proceed to arrest two innocent black men, seven days later, who never existed on any surveillance cameras?

      If it LOOKS like a TERRORIST ( based on CONDUCT), and it ACTS LIKE A TERRORIST ( based on CONDUCT), chances are: IT’S A TERRORIST.

      JUSTICE FOR NATALEE HOLLOWAY.

      JUSTICE FOR HER FAMILY.

    27. Kloothommel on December 20th, 2007 2:21 pm

      @Ralph, no you can’t cuz you’ll be prosecuted for harassment, slandering etc etc

      Let’s face it, Joran van der S. isn’t going to be punished unless they find Natalee.

      And no boycot for however long will help that, simply because the OM and the Judges can not be pressured by anyone.

    28. Dan on December 20th, 2007 2:33 pm

      Right on pearl, as harry truman would say, ” give em hell ” and Ralph, your exactly right, you understod what I was saying, no need to go over and kill them or snipe them out, we can make them hate life, lol, period!! The big man Urine can try and explain to his maybe wife why people hate him world wide, lol. and all the spawn that is related to him.

    30. Ralph on December 20th, 2007 2:44 pm

      okay Kloothommel, I am not in this alone. How does one prosecute thousands of people over 30 years? A statement here, a statement there, on blogs, in the news, anniversaries of her going missing, naming the suspects over and over and over every year at every anniversary.

      It’s like the Kennedy assasination. Oswald became a household name, books were written and he was discussed as the prime suspect for the crime year after year. He is still tied to that crime as a suspect even though both victim and would be criminal are long dead.

      J2K will never shake this for as long as they live and their children who are not even born yet will know about this dark cloud over their heads.

      I will not directly harass anyone but writing about it in blogs is my part in keeping the story alive. That is the least we can do for a young beautiful woman whose life was ripped at the seams by three monsters.

      Now do you get it?

    31. Dan on December 20th, 2007 2:48 pm

      Kloothommel, not to undermind you, but we here in america do have the right to voice our opinions, and can slander whom we please as long as it is the truth, now as long as we do not make up stories its ok to say what we know and feel. Thus the IMO, and IMHO, this protects us. Its what we truly believe and also know for a fact. Freedom of speach!!

    32. richard on December 20th, 2007 2:56 pm

      Not to undermine these remarks from Curacao … but that is the island where, in March 1998, Amy Bradley vanished. She was kidnapped from the cruise ship on which she and her family were traveling, just one day after it docked in Aruba and crew members wanted to take her to … you guessed it … Carlos ‘n’ Charlies.

      There is very good reason to think that she is still alive, perhaps on Curacao, and in a situation of duress.

      Curacao has very little to lecture Aruba about.
      Two hell holes, in my belief.

    33. Dan on December 20th, 2007 3:00 pm

      What I am saying is, we can converse on this every day and at some point it will be heard around the world, as it has already. If we do continue, a young lady who may meet the urine may question his morales, we hope. As far as the sloot father, well is it a crime to name his friends, in an conversation? lol, who cares who is listening, just mention names, you don’t have to say anything bad or point fingers just gossip about what went on. Gossip is the key, and tanacity. No slander here, just comment and thoughts. Its like this, is Romo sleeping with Simpson? talk about it, just gossip……..

    34. Ralph on December 20th, 2007 3:07 pm

      this is how it goes, any time something significant happens in the lives of these three monsters, it is going to be in the news. Here are some examples:

      Joran graduates from college. Gee wouldn’t it have been nice for Natalee to graduate. She was an honor student but had her life snatched from her.

      Joran or K2 get married: Gee, wouldn’t it have been nice to see Natalee get married, and have a life?

      Joran or 2K have children: How nice for them to go on with their lives when Natalee’s was snatched from her. What might it have been like for her to marry, and have children?

      Anita becomes a grandmother, something that is denied to Natalee’s mom forever.

      This case will haunt them at every turn, every day of their sorry lives. The news will continue to follow them as Joran says himself, “He has better thngs to do than think about this case.” REALLY?

      Ha Ha Joran, the joke is on you because this case is your new life since you made a fateful decision to rape and murder Natalee Holloway. You will never shake the stigma that will haunt every day of your life. Every time you even think about creating a life for yourself and moving beyond this crime you committed, we will drag you right into the middle of it where you belong by reminding you ever step of the way that every time you try to live, you took a life that was good and meaningful.

      Rot in your daily hell you smug bastard!

    35. Dan on December 20th, 2007 3:08 pm

      and, lol, pressure from any source can blow anything at any given time, no one or anything can stop it. When the Kettle gets boiling the top blows……..unless you cover it up and change the subject….. but, eventually it blows, due to persaverance, lol……

    36. Ralph on December 20th, 2007 3:12 pm

      hey can anyone find the statements made by the Aruban police that they had a confession? It would be fun to show that video over and over. I have looked for it on you tube without luck.

    37. richard on December 20th, 2007 3:15 pm

      One of the suspects wrote in an Internet chat session that Natalee was dead, according to this Associated Press story, just out from Aruba.

      It also says Beth is considering appealing the prosecutor’s decision to close the case.

      ORANJESTAD, Aruba – One of three top suspects in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway wrote during an Internet chat session that the teenager was dead, Aruba’s chief prosecutor said Thursday.

      Prosecutor Hans Mos refused to identify the person who wrote the message but said its discovery had contributed to the decision to re-arrest Joran van der Sloot and brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe last month.

      The men were subsequently released after they refused to speak to authorities about newly uncovered evidence. The Aruba Public Prosecutor’s Office said Tuesday it will not charge the three.

      Mos said their re-arrests had been warranted by the circumstantial evidence, including statements from witnesses who said the three behaved strangely in the hours after Holloway vanished at age 18 on May 30, 2005 during an Aruba vacation with her Alabama high school graduating class.

      Ronald Wix, an attorney for the Kalpoe brothers, denied that prosecutors had new evidence.

      “All they did was recycle old evidence and claim it was new evidence,” Wix told The Associated Press, adding that his clients felt vindicated by the prosecutor’s decision to drop the case.

      “Unless he finds a body in the bathroom of one of these kids, there’s no way in hell they can arrest them anymore.” Wix said.

      Mos refused to reveal details of other evidence that he said was gathered through new investigative techniques and a listening device planted in one of the suspects’ homes. Mos said van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers remain “the primary three persons of interest.”

      “Any and all leads and new evidence will be investigated,” Mos told reporters.

      The three men were seen leaving a bar with Holloway hours before she was due to board a flight home to Mountain Brook, Ala. Van der Sloot, who now attends college in the Netherlands, said he left Holloway alone on a beach that night. He and the Kalpoe brothers have denied any wrongdoing.

      The Aruban prosecutors say they cannot prove a crime was committed because her body was never recovered. They have said they focused on cell phone calls and text messages between the suspects.

      On Wednesday, Holloway’s family blamed mistakes by Aruban investigators for bringing the case to a dead end after more than two years of searching.

      Holloway’s stepfather, Jug Twitty, said he believes witnesses in the Dutch Caribbean island know what happened but are not coming forward, and he criticized prosecutors’ decision to dismiss the case against the only known suspects.

      “It’s also I think a sad day for the Aruban people because the officials there are inept,” Twitty told the AP in a telephone interview from Birmingham, Ala. Natalee’s mother, Beth Twitty, referred a reporter’s questions about the handling of the case to Jug Twitty.

      Jug Twitty said Holloway’s mother was considering appealing the prosecutor’s decision and hoped a new search by a Texas-based private group in the waters off Aruba might find Holloway’s body.

      “I can’t say we’re optimistic,” said Twitty, who recently divorced Beth Twitty.

      He said police botched the investigation from the start by waiting nine days to arrest the three suspects, giving them “plenty of time to cover their tracks.”

      “There are also people I believe that know what happened but won’t say anything because they have to live on that island,” he said.

      Complaints the last two years about the handling of the investigation prompted calls for a tourism boycott by officials in the United States, including Alabama Gov. Bob Riley.

      “We’ll be glad when it’s out of the media … We’ve suffered enough,” said John Herbert, a receptionist at the Arubiana Inn on the island of white sand beaches off the coast of Venezuela.

      Let’s face it, Joran van der S. isn’t going to be punished unless they find Natalee.

      Unfortunately, I think Joran is probably going to be targeted for a brutal beating… and maybe even murdered? The Kalpoes will likely get
      it before Joran does?

      As far as far as I’m concerned, they could kill all three and that gosh awful piece of sh– of
      excuse for a father, Paulus, without finding Natalee’s body… I wouldn’t lose one wink of sleep at this point.

      Not one wink.

      I hope they are all f-ing dead tomorrow!

      They make me vomit daily.

      Here’s the url to that story above … hey, van der Straaten said back in June 2005 that she was dead because “he’d seen the evidence.”

      WE never did. And I don’t believe him.

    40. Dan on December 20th, 2007 3:33 pm

      Im not sure why Kloothommel would think a boycott would not hurt? Im so puzzled. And the judges cannot be pressured. If enough pressure is applied, things will begin to burst, I don’t care who you are and what you are, this is the internet and its world wide and all eye’s are upon you. If you know something was and is array, your going to burst, thats a given. And if you don’t by some chance, then you are satan in the flesh. You have no consience. As far as the boycott, lol, go do the math, the more we squeel the more Aruba loses dollars for their precious island. As I said before, they are the armpit of the world right now. The only thing that will save them and their economy is if they come clean now, not tomorrow, but now…. this is not over by a long shot………
      JUSTICE FOR NATALEE, open your minds and understand this comment……….Geesh, lol..

    41. Bob on December 20th, 2007 3:34 pm

      I think it won’t be too long before one of the Kalpoe’s will have been found hanged in his house. It will be interesting to see how the local Polis and governmental hacks investigate that event. I imagine they will blame it on a rickity/defective chair (not made in Aruba) while he was stringing Christmas lights across the room, or something totally outlandish. On being interviewed for comment, PVS will pronounce and suggest the “guilty party” in the Holloway affair just couldn’t stand it and committed suicide. No doubt, he was a loose cannon anyway, and certainly not Dutch.

    42. richard on December 20th, 2007 3:40 pm

      That article says that Aruban prosecutors said they can’t prosecute because they don’t have a body.

      Let’s see … Hans Mos, and Karin Janssen before him, specifically said that they COULD prosecute even in the absence of a body, though it would be more difficult.

      Liars, all of them. Any pretext to tell us one thing today, another thing tomorrow.

      And my belief that Natalee was taken off Aruba alive, and that some scum down there besides the suspects know of it, is stronger than ever.

      That seems to me to be the logical next step.

    46. Miss-Underestimated on December 20th, 2007 4:08 pm

    49. richard on December 20th, 2007 4:23 pm

      The people doing the water search say that they are very optimistic about prospects of finding Natalee Holloway’s remains. Aruba, meanwhile, has given comments to the Associated Press saying that nobody thinks the search will succeed … even though AP doesn’t quote anyone there by name.

      Let light come out of darkness, order from chaos.

      If Natalee is indeed in the water, let her remains be found. Then let Aruba sink to Hell.

      And let us all remember, again, that it is American determination, American generosity and American decency that may prevail … the slimy Arubans and Dutch have done nothing, despite the lies that AP snaps up from them.

    50. richard on December 20th, 2007 4:28 pm

      Miss U (#46) … How about this … whoever it was that said she was dead, knew that she wasn’t?

      (Or, at least, that she wasn’t dead the night that she was taken off Aruba.)

      Nothing else, to me, makes sense in explaining Aruba’s actions and inactions, lies and evasions.

      The ONLY thing they have done since day one is to assert, again and again, that Natalee is dead.

      Funny that they never produce the proof ….

      Why not bring back van der Straaten? He was the one who said it first of all.

      Of course, later that summer he asked neighboring nations to be on the lookout for Natalee. Quite an interesting action from someone who “knows” that Natalee is dead.

    51. mommytraveler on December 20th, 2007 4:32 pm

      Email the Arubiana Inn – let them know that John Herbert said “we’ve suffered enough” and “would be glad when it was out of the media.” A truly insensitive thing to say. I am sure they will be happy to know that his quote and their establishment is all over the internet now.

      Remind everyone that Geraldo need not apply.

      My vote to head the Newsteam is Brian Williams (NBC).

      I’m going to write to Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, and Dave Letterman asking each if they are aware or have someone on staff who has followed the Natalee story. Assuming these 3 men are decent and law abiding Americans, I’m asking they somehow work a mention of the ARUBA “unfriendly to America” treatment afforded tourists into one of their monologues once they resume live broadcasts. They could be part of ” well let’s see what’s been happening while our writers strike has been on” segment. They could mention the corrupt and wip-saw legal shenanigans in the case, etc.

      I’m not sure about Letterman, but Jay and Conan have balls (nerve). Let’s see.

    53. Pearl on December 20th, 2007 4:37 pm

      Depravity begets depravity, Bob. (47)

      Aruba’s terrorist activity, condoned by its own police, with what appears to also include governement officials – a predatory terrorist activity that was literally aided by law enforcement officials through a cover up that aided criminals who executed an innocent child, – all of this conduct makes that island a treacherous threat to any American citizen.

      Aruba now wishes to spin the terrorism inflicted upon Natalee Holloway – as being “A REGULAR CRIME”.

      Their fiendish conduct, and evil terrorist activities that they allowed to be inflicted upon Natalee Holloway, an innocent, defenseless child -is not something that can be ripped out of criminal files, or for which they can pay loathsome judges to make disappear, or something for which they can pay unscrupulous ALE officials with no morals to make “vanish” while scandelous lies are planted into our media that serve one purpose: TO CORRUPT JUSTICE, TO DECEIVE THE PUBLIC, TO DISCREDIT A VICTIM AND HER FAMILY, TO INSURE HER TRUTH IS CRUSHED – ALONG WITH THE PUBLIC’S RIGHT TO BE INFORMED!

      FREEDOM, LIBERTY, DEMOCRACY, JUSTICE, TRUTH!

      THEY GO HAND IN HAND TOGETHER WITH A FREE PRESS THAT DOES ITS JOB WITH THE UTMOST INTEGRITY IN SEEKING THE TRUTH AND NOT GIVING UP, UNTIL THE WHOLE TRUTH IS UNCOVERED IN A STORY!

      And no amount of terrorist hatred, or repulsive corrupt depravity can crush this child’s voice, nor her TRUTH!

      Aruban officials knowingly allowed AMERICAN CHILDREN to become victimized targets of predators, who it appears, received LUCRATIVE INCENTIVES to assault an innocent American child named Natalee Holloway.

      Deepak: “They’re going to pay me a lot of money.”

      Deepak: “We hit the jackpot.”

      WHO PAID THE JACKPOT?
      WHAT WAS DEEPAK PAID FOR?
      WHERE DID THE FUNDING COME FROM FOR WHICH DEEPAK “HIT” HIS JACKPOT?
      WHY WAS JORAN SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE PHONES BEING TAPPED, WHEN DEEPAK INFORMED THE WORLD THAT THEY HAD “HIT THE JACKPOT”?

      Who had their picture taken with a KNOWN terrorist, who also – just so happens to be CHUMMY GOOD FRIENDS with NELSON ODUBER, PRIME MINISTER OF ARUBA?

      WHAT ARUBAN OFFICIAL LIED TO SECRETARY CONDOLEEZA RICE, ON JUNE 5, 2005 – CLAIMING: “WE’RE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS IN THE “INVESTIGATION”?

      WHAT COULD BE MORE DAMNING IN THE CONDEMNATION OF ARUBA, THAN FOR TOURISTS ALL OVER THE WORLD TO LEARN: THAT TERRORIST ACTIVITIES SEEMED TO BE LINKED TO OFFERING LUCRATIVE INCENTIVES TO PUNK PREDATORS TO TARGET INNOCENT UNSUSPECTING AMERICAN TOURISTS, – CHIDREN, WHO ARE LIED TO BY THESE PREDATORS, FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF TARGETTING THEM FOR HIDEOUS CRIMINAL ACTS?

      WHY COULD MORE DAMNING THAN FOR AMERICAN TOURISTS TO LEARN: ARUBA ALLOWS PREDATORS TO USE TOURIST FACILITIES TO TARGET AMERICAN CHILDREN, WHILE THESE PREDATORS RECEIVE LUCRATIVE INCENTIVES FROM TERRORISTS – IF THEY CHOOSE AMERICAN CHILDREN AS TARGETS?

      STICK THAT IN YOUR VERSION OF “NO EVIDENCE” ARUBA!

      NATALEE’S TRUTH WILL BE TOLD!
      HER VOICE WILL BE HEARD!
      HER CRIES FOR JUSTICE WILL BE CARRIED OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

      JUSTICE FOR THIS CHILD AND HER FAMILY!

    54. Dan in Tx on December 20th, 2007 4:41 pm

    55. elisabeth on December 20th, 2007 4:48 pm

      we all hope that the sea search will be succesfull, but beware, finding a body would not amount to evidence against the three…. The OM have already agreed hat she is dead. The legal point is not if a crime was committed, the point is the evidence linking it to the suspects. I am afraid that will not change with a body.

      We are well aware if we had actual video of

      shooting her, Aruba would not do anything.

      I think the past two and half years of

      brutal mental torture with the

      inept handling of the Holloway Case

      has shown us that.

      ….

      I think your point is moot. I could care less

      if they blow up that whole damn island, at this

      point. It needs to be leveled economically.

      Aruba is a cancer!

      Bob! (52) Great ideas, and YES! Brian Williams (NBC), another great journalist.
      Soledad O’Brien from CNN, … and let’s not forget Christopher Cuomo! ( ABC)

      There are good journalists out there.
      What we need is a passion for the truth, and an unyielding demand for justice in this child’s name!

      Great ideas, Bob! ( Write to the guys who have the guts and don’t forget the women who have guts too!) They are out there! Summon them to act with integrity, and honor, and simple human decency.

      It is in our collective unity that we find strength and conviction to stand up against the tyranny that terrorizes thru complicity and silence!

      They want to crush this child’s truth, and claim there is no evidence, after the unscrupulous conduct of Van der Straten, Dompig and Jacobs, aided by Jansen, corrupted by judges and government officials with no integrity, nor any conscience.

      This child’s story must be told!
      Her story has meaning and the profound ability to protect our children – our most sacred resources, our ONLY promise that there will be a future.
      We cannot hand our babies over to terrorist thugs!

      “No man can terrorize an entire nation, unless WE ARE ALL HIS ACCOMPLICES.” ( Edward R. Murrow)

      The spirit that summons this child’s truth be told, is rooted in a passion for justice!

      Natalee Holloway deserved an investigation led with integrity and the pursuit of justice.
      She never got an investigation.
      What she got was a contempt for justice, while public spokespersons got up in front of the media claiming that Americans were just too stupid to “understand Dutch law”!

      THE TRUTH IS: the Arubans and Dutch who engaged in this most heinous corruption have underestimated the power that Freedom and Liberty have for Americans who pride themselves on democracy and freedom of the press!

      Natalee deserved to have an investigation.
      She still has not had one.

      Natalee’s human rights deserved to be protected.
      They weren’t.

      Natalee’s family had every right to ask questions, and pursue justice in their beloved daughters name.
      They were ostrasized, attacked and berated for daring to speak out for their child’s truth and her right to justice!

      Those who suggest there is “no evidence” are liars and deceivers whose intent it is to destroy the evidence, even as they continue to crush this child’s voice and her truth!

      They never looked for Natalee.
      They lied to Beth and Dave, leaving a heartbroken father in a landfill – to search for his beloved child’s remains!!!!

      They had phone calls interupting Beth’s sleep, so they could torment her through the night, with false sightings, that the ALE knew all along would lead nowhere, because they already knew – THEY KNEW SHE WAS MURDERED!

      In their disgrace and shame they have foolishly underestimated WHO Natalee Holloway is: SHE IS EVERY MOTHERS DAUGHTER; SHE IS EVERY FATHER’S PRECIOUS CHILD!

      They never gave this child and investigation.
      All they gave her and her grief stricken family was a depraved COVERUP.
      They weren’t satisfied with crushing Beth to her knees, they needed to shred her heart, and devour her baby’s voice by crushing her truth, and slandering her good name.

      THEY WILL NOT SUCCEED IN THEIR EVIL!

      Where did the falsified statements come from?

      Who generated THE CONFESSION TO THE “KILLING OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY” – that the Aruban government instantaneously retracted?

      What could be the scandelous truth that could explain WHO The KIND OF PEOPLE ARE – that WOULD PAY FOR A CHILD TO BE TARGETED,… AN AMERICAN CHILD TO BE TARGETTED IN A TOURIST DESTINATION, WHERE TOURISTS HAVE BEEN DECEIVED INTO BELIEVING – THAT THEY ARE “SAFE”, AND WHERE – THE LEADERSHIP ON THE ISLAND, COVETS RELATIONSHIPS WITH DICTATORS WHO DANCE WITH TERRORISTS?

      WHO – are the kind of people who would “pay” Deepak a “lot of money” for doing – “WHAT” to Natalee Holloway?

      WHO PAID DEEPAK?
      HOW MUCH MONEY?
      WHERE DID THE PROCEEDS COME FROM?
      FOR WHAT ACT HAVING TO DO WITH CRIMES INFLICTED UPON NATALEE HOLLOWAY?

      WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE PAY LARGE SUMS OF MONEY TO HURT AMERICAN TARGETS – CHILDREN, NO LESS!!!!

      WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE PAY LARGE SUMS OF MONEY TO INSURE THE TRUTH ABOUT CRIMINAL ACTS INFLICTED UPON A CHILD TOURIST – THAT WERE PREMEDITATED, AND INVOLVE LUCRATIVE SUMS OF MONEY – BE HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC, WHILE THE “SPIN” GOES OUT ABOUT THE SUFFERING INFLICTED UPON THIS CHILD – AS BEING “A REGULAR KIND OF CRIME” !!!!?

      DOES ANYTHING ABOUT NATALEE’S SUFFERING AND VICTIMIZATION SOUND “REGULAR” TO ANY OF YOU?

    61. Dan on December 20th, 2007 6:11 pm

      pearl, well said, its about sex and thats all there is to it. A beautiful young lady and a perv wanted her. Its a crisis around the globe, and more real than anyone can fathom. Young ladies anywhere bring big bucks, its the same as drugs, and its so real and so happening.

      I so agree with Pearl and others as well, we need more exposer, this needs to go global, and heart felt. What has happened could of been my daughter and or yours. I am so thankful for this site and the people who care, god bless each and every one of you. I cannot pretend to know the pain and endurance that the Holloways have been through, I can only imagine, and it does not feel good. I do know this, Natalee was a sister, a daughter,a, friend to all, of us somewhere, and I so feel now she is the daughter of the USA. I do say this with confidence and we all know she is known all around the world. The Arubans, the Dutch, may never give her the Justice she deserves,, but we can. So help me god, if you are serious as people, we can as a whole shut down Aruba economically, and make them come forth with the truth. We as a whole can do this if we persue it. It is not impossible at all, there are means and ways of making this happen. It will require a lot of work from every one and more from others but it can be done. Natalee is the same age as my daughter, so Im pissed off, this could of been my Daughter, hell, it could of been yours as well.
      Scared monkeys, has been awesome, thank you for your efforts, and your continued support.

    67. 10061906 on December 20th, 2007 7:01 pm

      Klaasend on the surface similar but you have to read through it.

      A second witness statement came from a teacher
      who said that another one of the suspects exhibited “very peculiar behavior” the day after Holloway’s disappearance, including making or receiving a lot of telephone calls, Mos said.
      There were not a lot the pimps in school.
      Joran, Maximillian and Sander come to mind.
      I don’t believe any others were ever mentioned being in school.
      A fourth piece of new evidence came when authorities bugged the Kalpoe home in June and picked up a conversation about what happened that night, he said, but did not elaborate.

    68. Bob on December 20th, 2007 7:10 pm

      If we could “borrow” the Unholy Trio, all or anyone of them, for about 10 minutes, we would have ALL the answers we need. All or anyone who was made available would be returned in tact.

      A simple 2-5 minute session is all we require. A basic “waterboarding” event will pry the truth out of these sissies. Deepak (the weakest) should be first as he should cough up the answers in 2 minutes or less, sparing the necessity of wasting 5 gallons of water on the other ‘sports’. It’s been said that a specially trained US Navy Seal was able to go almost 11 minutes in a anti-terrorist training class before “selling his soul”. Once. That could be a record. Imagine, simple H2O, a short length of rope, and no blood shed.

      Sometimes the target is completely unable to even remember the excercise. We’ve come a long way from Korea. Isn’t that special?

He did not persue because if he had and lost, that would be the end period. With him not persuing, it is still an on going investigation and can be tried if crucial and damming evidence is presented, thus the investigation is still open. Im hoping he is waiting on the results from the eqasearch or persistence rather.

      “ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — Prosecutors on Thursday plan to divulge evidence they gathered over the last eight months against three young men….”

      “ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — One of three top suspects in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway wrote during an Internet chat session that the teenager was dead,….”

      Uh, it took them eight whole months and that is ALL they gathered as evidence?

      Read the CNN story: it shows the whole event with Natalee was PLANNED before hand, but then we already knew that.

      It’s too bad that Aruba doesn’t believe in circumstantial evidence.

      Let’s see, the thugs chat about picking up and raping girls, they show up at CNC 30 minutes before closing, have a drink or two with Natalee, leave with Natalee, Natalee is never seen again, they chat and say Natalee is dead, Natalee, her shoes and Joran’s shoes go missing, a couple hours later someone talking to one of them can tell something is really wrong and can’t be discussed on the phone, Paulus is researching on the Internet about GHB and alcohol, the boys have a series of phone calls and a meeting with Paulus who tells them “no body no case”, one of them confesses, Joran exhibits very strange behavior at school, series of phone calls again, all three lie through their friggin teeth……

      Golly, that’s really way more circumstantial evidence than I need to know what really happened.

      @ Bob,

      Great idea, that water boarding of suspects ! Just treat them like Iraqi´s or other “terrorist” and torture the living shit out of them ! You know what Bob, why waterboard them ? Why waste ten minutes of your time ? Take three bullets and close the case forever !

      It is said to see that the whole Natalee case, the whole investigation has been derailed by factless Media coverage, Twitty family involvement and outside pressure on investigators. Not to mention, persons like “Bob” who are unable to think in a legal frame and prefer violence as the preferred method of resolving any open issue.

      Fortunately, the American and Aruban / Dutch realationship is at his historical height. Thanks to Mr. Bush for his speech today, thanking the Dutch soldiers figting a war against your terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan.

      OMG, carpe, thanks for the update, this man needs to be confronted by a professional as Pearl has said. Then he would trip over his own di((edit))k.
      Pacotenis, would not know what to say if someone else had control of the conversation, for sure. He took control real quick when he was challenged. And the interview went to shit.

      If an Aruban lady or especially a young Dutch lady had gone missing on Aruba and they had an American suspect/s and had all this information against the suspect/s, you can bet your ass that the case would have been solved asap and the American/s would be rotting in an Aruban jail.

    78. brie on December 20th, 2007 8:25 pm

      #69..Carpe…thanks for the post. Just watched the loud mouth, uncontrolled, arrogant, grease my palm piece of s–t. Has a temper like Joran, he’s probably a sociopath too.

      You haven’t got any evidence that can support Joran’s statement that he left Natalee on the beach. Only a pervert who’s up to 23 lies. There is not one ounce of credibility there. You were with her last and the Kalpoes can be witnesses to that. Joran says he’s done this 20 times before and you want us to believe otherwise. Where’s your brain, explain why Joran says he knows what happened but will tell us some day but not now. Why doesn’t any anyone have an answer for that!!!

    79. Pearl on December 20th, 2007 9:21 pm

      Carpe! Thank you for that link!
      I didn’t know that locopocopina was on today!

      But here are some gems that carpe saved at his link:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmiPTCihENg

      During an interview with Fox anchors, Mr. Tacopena stated that the prosecutor was the ‘coward’, and ‘unprofessional’!!!

      (This may be due to Mr. Tacopena’s belief that the corrup, unprofessional conduct of Van der Straten’s gang was routine for the kind of men they truly are. It’s fine to tamper with witness statements,destroy statements, leave out critical damaging evidence that points to the criminal conduct of a suspect who is conveninetly labeled “witness”, it’s fine to confess to murdering a targeted American child, because afterall, there’s a clean up crew in the back rooms of the ALE who will alter all the confessions that have been made. In fact, it’s no problem that Paulus Van der Sloot is implicated in premeditative acts to obstruct justice that implicate him, his son and the Kalpoes in the murder of Natalee Holloway, which took place when he plotted the Holiday Inn lies with his son, Joran and the Kalpoes, – in Mr. Tacopenas world, this kind of conduct is fine because it seems the dirty Aruba police officials charged with “investigating” can take care of all the seedy acts of corruption that continue to take place in the investigation that now requires an investigation to investigate the investigators who were supposed to investigate but didn’t.

      These corrupt officials aided murderers in making a victim of rape and murder disappear, they aided criminals in what can only be seen as corruption and terrorist conduct, while falsely arresting two innocent black men, and – to top it all off, after all the evidence is destroyed by detaining two innocent men as targets to blame so that the real predators could destroy all the evidence, Aruban corrupt officials then had the arrogance to suggest: that “there is no evidence”, therefore there is no ’cause to arrest’ the murderers!)

      Mr. Tacopena went on to state that the statement made by one of the “three” – “SHE’S DEAD”, was “taken out of context”!!!!

      Hmmm. SHE IS DEAD.

      D E A D.

      How many CONTEXTS FOR DEAD ARE THERE, MR. TACOPENA?

      We know of the “no corpse, no case” kind of Dead.

      Is there another kind of DEAD that you know of, MR. Tacopena?

      But perhaps Mr. Tacopenas most shrill – decibilic shriek came when he exclaimed: “Why is it always about the press conference?” (.. the one held today by Prosecutor Mos, where he specifically states that he has new evidence, which he believes to be incriminating, which includes the admission by one of the three that Natalee Holloway is DEAD.

      After all this, Mr. Tacopena references the Aruban prosecutor Mos as: “Unprofessional and a coward”.)

      But, moving right along, Poopst,(#73) perhaps you need to hold all your breaths.

      Just keep holding.

      And since you see yourself, Poopst ( 73) as being “the one” in the “legal” frame of mind, perhaps you wouldn’t mind answering some questions for the rest of us:

      Questions from MD:

      Can you help explain why the KLPD and ALE have refused to develop a timeline for Paulus Van Der Sloot for the night of Natalee’s murder?

      Can you explain why search warrants for Paulus Van Der Sloot’s home and property were amended on site? What was the rationale for not searching the WHOLE premises?

      Can you explain why Karin Janssen, a close friend of Paulus Van Der Sloot’s, provided Paulus Van Der Sloot with a letter stating he was no longer a suspect in the case while not providing a similar letter to the two black guys that Paulus and his spawn tried to frame?

      Can you explain why there is no record of Paulus Van Der Sloot’s witness statements – despite media reporting at the time (June 15-16, 2005) stating that he was brought in and questioned as a witness — not a suspect?

      Where have these witness statements gone?

      Can you explain why the courts double layered the ‘legal onion’ for Paulus by stating that he was 1) no longer a suspect, and 2) awarded him $30,000?

      Can you explain why no one in Aruba will positively identify who the gentleman is sitting at “third base” at the blackjack table hitting on Natalee Holloway?

      (Come on…a cook from a local restaurant???? Make me laugh Aruba!)

      Can you explain what Paulus was doing at 4:00am on the night of Natalee’s murder?

      Can you explain why Paulus changed his story to 11:00pm the prior evening that he was out on the town?

      Can you explain who leaked the aerial photo of the furniture truck making a delivery to the Van Der Sloot residence just weeks after Natalee’s murder?

      Can you explain where the mattress from the Van Der Sloot’s home is currently?

      Can you explain why all ‘blood evidence’ needed to be sent to Holland for analysis….but the blood soaked mattress was not (within hours they declared the blood “dog blood” and discarded it as evidence).

      (What a Dutch joke that is!)

      Could you explain why Judge Smid, a friend of Paulus Van Der Sloot’s who STAYS AT THE VDS HOME WHEN HE VISITS FROM CURACAO, was allowed to rule on any orders from this case?

      Can you help us with the definition of ‘Conflict of Interest’ in the Dutch legal system.

      Poost ( 72) when you are done with these questions by MD, you can begin to clean up YOUR TERRORISTS: THE MURDERERS WHO COLLUDED WITH TERRORISTS TO TARGET NATALEE HOLLOWAY.

      Explain to us what the “Jackpot” was that DEEPAK HIT?

      Explain to us why JORAN was so concerned that Deepaks’ claim to “hitting the jackpot” was of such concern due to the “PHONES BEING TAPPED”.

      Do you always “tap” phones Poopst, for your “regular types of criminal acts”?

      Tell us Poopst, (73), where are the LEGAL DOCUMENTS THAT CHART THE TIMELINES for JORAN, DEEPAK, AND SATISH’s whereabouts, BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE MURDER OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY?

      WHERE IS PAULUS’ TIMELINE?

      Poopst, ( 73) while you are at it, tell us: has Deepak done anything yet about his ‘backyard’ problems?

      I hope this doesn’t over-tax your ‘legal frame of mind’, poopst, but a suffering family is waiting two and a half years now for answers concerning WHAT YOUR TERRORIST PREDATORS DID TO THEIR CHILD.

      Justice for Natalee Holloway.
      Justice for her family.

      Contain your predator terrorists, Aruba.
      Not children, who are victimized by your terrorists.

      Watch out Taco…somebody is going to take you on…You know as well as all of us Joran is guilty. He told Beth they took Natalee to his house. And he had sex with her. Then the Kalpoes say you wouldn’t believe how easy it was. Then her underwear is described. So if she was at the house she obviously was not at the beach. …and he lies..and he lies! Paulus the dirty lawyer who changed the documents presented to Beth. He had no business being involved with any of that. Straaten gave those documents to him, which of course, he never, never should of done.

      I just from bad to worse!!!!

    82. brie on December 20th, 2007 10:34 pm

      #81..sorry..it just goes from bad to worse!

      I dont see a bright future for Aruba

    84. brie on December 20th, 2007 11:19 pm

      They all proclaim she is dead..does have anyone have evidence to uphold that statement….you have said it over, and over again via Aruban authorities. So what is your decision based on.

      I think Joran confessed along time ago. But, because of way it was handled, being under 18 and no lawyer present, it got dismissed..

    85. brie on December 21st, 2007 12:07 am

      If we don’t find Natalee, then the big secret is out…human trafficing….Posner, Paulus and Joran.

    86. brie on December 21st, 2007 12:26 am

      Joran maybe confessed but it could of been a big lie!

    87. brie on December 21st, 2007 12:38 am

      NATALEE MAY NOT BE DEAD!!!!Joran needs to tell the truth!!! Your a lying F–k!

      The OM failed to produce enough evidence on time to the Judge Commissioners’ assessment. A judge is a completely different character. What’s left now is the statute of limitaions for murder (12 years) and manslaughter (6 years). Ah well Nobody will open up untill then.
