Persistence Continues Search for Natalee Holloway in Aruba Waters

 

The Persistence continues is job in searching for Natalee Holloway off the coast of Aruba. The deep sea search continues and is full steam ahead. They pursue the mission at hand, but recently took time to give us a brief update as to how the effort were going, News Audio Update from the Aruban Natalee Holloway Deep Sea Search.

Good luck to all aboard the RV Persistence …

The Persistance searching the seabed for the remains of Natalee Holloway.

Persistance

ORANJESTAD – The decision of the Public Prosecutor to dismiss the Holloway-case has no effect on the investigation of the special ship Persistance, emphasized the crew that started to scan the seabed around Aruba on Tuesday.  With the best equipment in the world, they are trying to find Holloway.  Dave Holloway, Natalee’s father announced the arrival of the ship one month ago.  However, the ship’s arrival was delayed by the tropical storm Olga.

The ship has modern sonological-equipment that can scan up to 4000 meters deep. 

The ship can scan very deep seabeds.  The ship will first determine the topographical situation of the sea around Aruba till the sea border with Venezuela.   The speed of the sound under water is measured with a sound velocity profile (SVP).  This is needed for the calculation of data during the scan.  Strange abnormal forms on the seabed can be captured with that.  

Maritime geologist Kyle Kingman, who maintains a blog about the expedition compares the seabed with an ‘old living creature from the end of the cretaceous period, full of stories’.  “We know that this creature is making sure that he does not abandon his secrets”, writes Kingman.  He expects though that when the side scan sonar is activated, the contents of each split is going to be revealed and can be seen on a monitor in the computer room.  He says though that it remains difficult, like a shopping cart in an area as big as Manhattan.  

The search is of course going to cost a lot.  There are 18 people working with the most modern and expensive instruments on board of the ship.  Project manager Tim Miller doesn’t want to confirm that millions of dollars in donations are paying for this search.  “We don’t want media-attention; we only want to do our job.”  He only wanted to talk to Diario.  Also the office of the organization Texas Equusearch (TES), of which Miller is the founder, doesn’t want to say anything.  This abundantly sponsored American organization is specialized in search actions for mainly missing fellow country persons.  TES has already searched for Natalee two years ago, but only to a depth of 100 meters at that time.  

The organization receives a lot of monetary- as well as emotional support on the weblog.  This support is mainly from people that give the Lord’s blessing and that ask everybody to pray for the crew on the ship and the Holloway family.  Criticism is not really tolerated on the website.  These are not even added to the log.  An anonymous informant is wondering whether the authorities are on board of the ship for if they find evidence.  The lawyers of the former suspects are afraid that evidence can be planted by the crew.  “They may just drop or add a purse for example.”

The OM does not cooperate with the search action, but wants to be kept informed of whatever is discovered that can be of interest.  It is not known whether the crew has applied for a work permit for the search with the government. (Amigoe: 12/27/2007)

      Has greta ever asked for the time line of Paulas.Even Karen jensen knows he was involved.God bless Natalee and her family.

      God bless Tim Miller and the Equusearch team!
      God bless The Silvetti Team!
      God bless Kyle Kingman and all the crew of the Persistence who are dedicating their hearts to this mission of compassion in the search for Natalee’s answers and Natalee’s truth!

      Bring her home, Persistence!
      Bring Natalee home where she belongs!

      The savage individuals who murdered this child and tossed her away without a care for her human dignity, think they can now govern, manipulate and infect this child’s truth with their contemptable, souless notions of evil? They think they can own, and manipulate her truth? !!!

      Her truth is not for sale, nor can it be touched by the savages who tormented this child and her family!

      Her truth cannot be stolen, drugged, kidnapped, raped, beaten, murdered, and manipulated or destroyed! Her truth is HERS to CLAIM, ARUBA!
      Her truth is HERS to SPEAK!

      Imagine – the monsters of depravity are “worried” about “evidence” being “planted” – by the ONLY men and women of integrity, honor and simple human decency who ever even bothered to look for this precious child ( save those Arubans and the FBI who were used by the Aruban government in a contemptable display of depravity made to appear as a “search” while the Aruban prime minister quickly rushed to declare the Confession to the “Killing” of Natalee that was made by the murderers, as not having taken place!!!)

      You cannot crush this child’s voice or her truth -not ever, Aruba!

      The charade conducted by the unconscionable in Aruba between May 30, 2005 and today was never an “investigation”, and calling it an “investigation” will never make it so!

      There was no investigation. There were no follow-up questions, no collection of evidence, no attempts to interrogate or search, nothing but a cover up and the destruction of all traces of this precious brutally victimized child: that’s why the FBI walked out in disgust to what they had to witness unfolding by the Aruban men and women lacking a conscience and moral integrity to follow the mandates of the law, and honor this child’s right to an investigation.

      All the phoney speeches were nothing but empty, meaningless words in an immoral showcase of empty chatter and meaningless grandstanding attempts to appear “human” and “civililzed” to the rest of the world. Is this the conduct of a civilized society – to NOT investigate and hold accountable the savages who would drug and kidnap a child, gang rape her, murder her, and then savagely desecrate her body? They want to call their charade an “investigation” !

      Does an investigation not involve a search that actually looks at the evidence and allows the EVIDENCE to guide the DIRECTION that the search takes? Why then was the Van der Sloot house not immediately searched?

      Satish Kalpoe: “We all decided to go to the house because we were bored.” (May 30, 2005)

      Joran and Deepak: “We dropped her off at the Holiday Inn hotel – right in front of the lobby entrance.” ( May 31 – 3 AM in the morning)

      The unconscionable depraved actions of police officials who never bothered to document any of the savagery they heard and witnessed exposes the heartlessness and evil in their own souls: they never wanted this child found; they never wanted an investigation conducted, because they didn’t want Natalee’s body to SPEAK of the untold horrors inflicted upon her.

      They never wanted to find her!

      But here comes the Persistence, and the blessed work of those behind them, men and women of honor and integrity whose conscience and moral fiber cannot be bought or sold. They seek to find Natalee, and break the chains of evil that tried to contain this child’s truth!

      Set this child free, Persistence!

      Break the chains of depravity that tried to crush this child’s voice, break the chains of evil indifference that tried to bind her spirit and her truth!

      We are waiting for you to come home, Natalee!

      Rise up, Christmas child and claim your right to have your voice heard, your truth told, your right to justice served!

      Justice for Natalee Holloway and her family!

      Can anyone not read this drivel, & wonder why

      so many of American’s that love and support

      Natalee Ann’s family… could care less if someone

      dropped a mega-ton daisy cutter on that awful

      well I agree with you; arogant SOB’s (all of them). The problem is that we still have americans traveling there, for some bizarre reason. I must admit something, I found it very difficult to feel sorry for the most recent missing girl named Joyce mainly because none of this is a mystery to anyone anymore.

      NOW HEAR THIS……..

      AMERICAN FEMALES ARE TARGETED FOR RAPE AND MURDER ON THE ISLAND OF ARUBA!!!!!!!

      NOW HEAR THIS TOO………

      THEIR POLICE (POLIS) DON’T CARE ABOUT AMERICAN GIRLS, ONLY THE MONEY WE INJECT INTO THEIR ECONOMY.

      AMERICANS HAVE NO BUSINESS VISITING ARUBA. IT’S A FREE COUNTRY (WORLD) WHATEVER. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF SAFE PLACES WE CAN GO TO VACATION WITH WHITE SAND BEACHES.

      ARUBA SHOULD BE ON THE FLAT BOTTOM OF EVERYONE’S LIST!

      I GUARANTEE THAT THE NEXT GIRL WILL NOT GET THE SAME RESPONSE FROM THE USA IN TERMS OF SEARCH EFFORTS.

      BOYCOTT ARUBA!!!! GEEZ, ITS NOT THAT TOUGH.

    8. Libby on December 27th, 2007 12:51 pm

      Betty, nevermind. I found the story. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard that. I constantly listen and watch for stories out of Aruba.

      First and foremost: May God bless and guide TES and the crew of the Persistance in their search for Natalee.

      Did Joe Tacopina and his investigators and colleagues have work permits?

      Private blogs can allow or disallow posts and posters. Allowing misinformation and fraudulent claims about Natalee and her family to be made on a blog would be irresponsible.

      Aruba not only covered up this crime, but treated the family in a way that said “Yankee go home; forget about it. We’re not going to pursue this and you arrogant Americans can’t do anything about it.”

      DO NOT TRAVEL TO ARUBA. Monkeys and others are not nut cases crying “wolf” over what happened in Aruba. There are sound reasons for pursuing this boycott. Corruption. Crime. Drugs. Rape. Murder. They don’t care about tourists. Especially, it seems, American tourists.

    11. Libby on December 27th, 2007 1:54 pm

      Betty, don’t pay any attention to the yo yo. she is one of the biggest trolls on here.

      The Aruban beaches are not safe. I truly can’t think of a beach whereby law enforcment…and the government allow perps like Joran, Paulus, the K brothers etc to roam the beaches, hotels and bars raping and murdering innocent tourists…and then assist in covering the crimes and help blame innocent people for the crimes.

      I’m not saying crime doesn’t happen elsewhere. Crime is everywhere. However, as I said, Aruba is the only place I am aware of where the officials and government (who are supposed to protect people)help cover the crimes.

      Boycott Aruba forever.

      Yoyo, why can’t you answer MD’s questions?

      AFRAID OF A LITTLE DEFENSELESS CHILD’S TRUTH, YOYO?

      Remember these questions, yoyo that MD asked for a response to?
      Still at a loss as to how to answer MD’s questions?
      __________________

      minnesota dad on December 18th, 2007 11:39 am:

      I really would like some answers from the Aruban apologists/AHATA/Joran Apologists regarding these questions. Again, it seems they disappear into their crisis management room at the PR firm (folks, these rooms do exist….I have a friend who does this type of work and his job is to bail out corporate execs, companies, or others when a ‘mistake’ has been made) and try to come up with answers (see YoYo’s lame response from several threads ago).

      They cannot answer these questions as they know that they strike at the heart of the corruption:

      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.
      _____________________

      Where should travelers go, you ask yoyo?
      THE ANSWER: ANYWHERE BUT ARUBA! ANYWHERE, WHERE INTEGRITY GOES HAND IN HAND WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE WEARING OF POLICE BADGES!

      ANYWHERE – WHERE THE STENCH OF ARUBA’S CORRUPTION DOES NOT CONDONE THE TARGETTING OF OUR PRECIOUS AMERICAN CHILDREN.

      ANYWHERE – WHERE MEN AND WOMEN OF HONOR WEAR THE BADGE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH INTEGRITY AND A PASSION FOR JUSTICE AND TRUTH!

      ANYWHERE – WHERE THE CORRUPT LEADERSHIP OF ARUBA CANNOT INFECT SOCIETY WITH THE DEPRAVITY OF THEIR IMMORAL, CORRUPT CONDUCT THAT SEEKS TO TARGET OUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN AND DEVOUR THEIR INNOCENCE WHILE SEEKING TO SHRED AND DESTROY THEIR PAINFUL TRUTHS, ALONG WITH ALL THE EVIDENCE OF THEIR EVIL,SICKENING SAVAGERY!

      You want Betty to give name to the “safe places” yoyo, while murderers and their co-conspirators FAIL TO GIVE NAME TO THE SAVAGERY – that Aruba allowed to be inflicted upon a little defenseless child named Natalee Holloway?

      You can’t bring yourself to NAME what they did to Natalee, name the barbaric cruelty inflicted upon a defenseless child who was ganged up on by a bunch of savage, cowardly men, anymore than you can bring yourself to use her precious name! NATALEE!!!! NATALEE HOLLOWAY!

      Her name will raise up and expose all the evil savagery that ARUBA inflicted upon this precious child and her family. Her story will lay bare the brutality and uncivilized conduct that exposes what the face of indifference and brutal savagery looks like!

      You think you can spin this child’s suffering, and erase her pain the way a man with no moral conscience walks into a police office to summon the depths of hell onto paper in his scathing attempts to portray “police statements” as “facts” of this child’s story?

      YOU DO NOT OWN THIS CHILD’S VOICE!
      YOU WILL NEVER SILENCE HER TRUTHS!
      SHE WILL SPEAK IN SPITE OF THIS EVIL AND DEPRAVITY INFLICTED UPON HER AND HER FAMILY!

      Rise up, Natalee!
      Rise up and claim your right to have your voice heard, your truth spoken, your right to justice served!

      Climb back into the hell of iniquity, and try to shield yourself with the depravity of deceptions and lies,if you can yoyo, because the light of this child’s truth is coming, and the voice of her cries for justice will afford you no place to hide!

      JUSTICE FOR NATALEE HOLLOWAY!

      Let the light of this child’s truth, shine for all the world to see!

      Raise her up, Persistence, and let his child’s painful cries be heard, let her truth be told, let her voice cry out for justice! Let her voice cry out for an investigation that summons the conscience of integrity to answer her pleas for her truth to be told and her right to justice served!

      Your day of reckoning is coming, Aruba!
      The unconscionable will be exposed, and the hands of the feeble, the weak, the frightened, will be cloathed in the mighty robes of justice and truth!

      You cannot silence her voice!
      You have no power over this child’s truth!

      The tyranny that seeks to silence voices crying out for justice and truth is over, Aruba!

      Natalee is summoning her truth to be told!
      You can no more separate this child from her truth and the telling of her story, than you can separate her body and the savagery you inflicted upon this child and her family from their painful questions that beckon her answers to be heard!

      Justice for Natalee Holloway!

      21, 22, & 23

      Thanks, that’s why I asked if anyone heard the rumour. I think that’s called a red herring manuver.

    24. Richard on December 27th, 2007 5:05 pm

      That rumor about Dutch TV reporting the discovery of a young woman’s body near a gold mine, some two miles from the van der Scum home, was on this forum this morning on an earlier thread.

      Nobody of whom I know has reported seeing anything about it. I suspected that it was crap, and continue to believe that.

      God bless the heroes of the Persistence. Does anyone know how long the water search will last (that is, is it open-ended)? Its blog a day or two ago said the end was in sight; that may mean whatever it means.

    25. katablog.com on December 27th, 2007 5:06 pm

      I picked up immediately on what Carpe picked up on. Amigoe really makes the whole article about MONEY, stressing how well funded TES is (as if Amigoe really even knows). After pointing out the money numerous times they jump on the blog.

      Now just how does Amigoe know they don’t allow dissent on the blog? Hmmmm, could it be that we just found the identity to the trolls that come here frequently? Note the Aruba.com site doesn’t allow dissent on their creepy little site either.

      Now just why would Amigoe want to post negative messages to a crew of 18 who gave up hours of their lives and their Christmas holidays with their families to look for Natalee Holloway, the girl killed on Aruba in May 2005? Seems if they were real journalists they would wonder why anyone on this earth would be wishing to post negative messages to wonderful people giving of their time to help give peace to a family that has been raked through the Aruban mud a dozen or more time.

      If you didn’t get it, this just really makes me angry. I’m doing everything I can not to allow my emotions to post something I shouldn’t.

      Aruba & Amigoe: you stink, stink, stink! The smell from that article shows your jealousy and outrage that some human beings would actually help other human beings in pain. You so don’t want Natalee found. How awful is that? How could you wish more pain on the Holloway and Twitty families? Haven’t you caused enough pain?

    26. Pearl on December 27th, 2007 6:30 pm

      Exactly, Kat and Carpe.

      They are not real journalists, and clearly, they don’t seem to have any ethics when it comes to the standards of truth that journalism calls for.

      Yes indeed, Kat. They want to suggest that the ‘critical’ postings are not allowed so that they can once again fling open the door for more venom to pour into the wounds they have already brutally inflicted upon Beth and Dave.

      Well guess what, Amigoe…

      VENOMOUS EVIL, AND OTHER VICIOUS COMMENTARY IS NOT SPOKEN ON THE PERSISTENCE, NOR ON IT’S BLOG, AND IT WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CONTAMINATE THE GOD-DRIVEN EFFORTS OF THE PERSISTENCE AND THEIR CREW!!!! Those men are driven by a conscience, and evil will not be tolerated!

      You think you can control them, with these divisive distractions, and relentless attempts to distract their attention from the task at hand that you failed to respond to? Do you think you can distract them with vicious cruelty masked through deceptions and dishonest commentary meant to draw them away from finding this precious child?

      The contamination crew is hard at work Monkeys, trying to inflict more pain and suffering on the already brutally victimized Holloway family, and their beloved daughter.

      Well guess what, Amigoe.
      Your days of depravity are coming to a day of reckoning, where Natalee’s truth will be spoken, and her answers will indeed be given to her traumatized family, in spite of all the deception and evil sown by the heartless cruelty that stains the corrupt in Aruba.

      The men and women without conscience or any moral compass could not find the decency in their hearts to summon the answers for Beth and Dave that would address the savagery inflicted upon Natalee, so Beth and Dave’s heart breaking sorrow has summoned the integrity and compassion of men whose goodness of heart surpasses all the evil we have witnessed. The Persistence has set sail upon the ocean, to summon from Beth and Dave’s beloved daughter, the truth and the answers – that Aruban law enforcement officials refused to give to Natalee’s suffering family, a suffering that Aruban official’s in their corruption, sought to crush and hide from Natalee’s family.

      Natalee’s truth will reveal all the answers!
      Natalee’s voice will be heard in spite of this evil and depravity.

      Let this child’s voice be heard, her truth be spoken, her right to justice served!

      Justice for Natalee!

    28. Ray on December 27th, 2007 7:38 pm

      Any parent that takes or allows their kids to go to Aruba can expect and will get no sympathy from me if they disappear. They can also forget any donations of money. They have had their one warning. It is like telling your kid to go play in the tiger cage.

    29. Ralph on December 27th, 2007 8:00 pm

      I agree; Natalee went there and had no warning of the danger she faced. Fool me once, fool me twice etc. Let Natalee know through expression that she did not die in vain. Perhaps her death can serve warning to other young women NOT to go to ARUBA the hell hole!

      The next victim of Joran will have a completely different reception. If anything, learn from Natalee.

      I am still just totally enraged over the Amigoe article today. How dare they try to throw mud on Persistence and TES with their money angle while the OEM wants nothing to do with the search and only wants to be notified if something is found.

      Amigoe showed its true colors with that crappy piece of journalism. I am so thankful that Tim Miller and Persistence are smart enough not to talk to anyone but our man Jossy.

      Keep praying folks, Tes and the crew are trying with everything they’ve got to find Natalee.

      The video shown to us by Carpe is quite impressive. The ship sits low in the water, just thinking of the 18 ft waves they had to endure on their way to Aruba. That had to be pretty dangerous.

    33. Pearl on December 27th, 2007 9:54 pm

      Kat, #30… isn’t it interesting…

      Nelson Oduber had claimed that he “wasn’t informed” on the daily operations concerning a MISSING AMERICAN CHILD, whom Aruban police were describing as the possible victim of kidnapping and for whom innocent Black men were arrested on suspicion of having MURDERED.

      But Nelson Oduber was not being “informed” of any “confessions” concerning daily ALE activities surrounding their “investigation”.

      Here we are now, two and a half years later, with Aruban government officials claiming: “All’s well that ends well…” yet, now – it appears Nelson Oduber wants to be “informed” of all movements and actions being taken by a group of heroic Americans on board a ship named Persistence in pursuit of oceanic interrogations that the Aruban ALE and prosecutor couldn’t seem to manage to conduct on a bunch of scoundrels who couldn’t string together one sentence of truth in any of their statements.

      Imagine, Oduber wants to be fully informed of OCEANIC INTERROGATIONS, yet appeared to have no interest in being informed daily of ALE INTERROGATIONS OF MURDER SUSPECTS CONCERNING “THE CONFESSION TO THE KILLING OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY”.

      But Nelson WANTS to be informed of every move that a boat filled with heroic American men are making ( guys whose integrity can’t be bought or sold), and Nelson wants to be fully updated on their daily activities.

      Now how do you suppose that Nelson finds the time to suddenly want to be infomed when it concerns the attempts of heroic, integrity-driven Americans to recover the battered remains of a brutally victimized American child, yet – when it came to an ARUBAN THUG confessing to the “KILLING OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY” … somehow, Nelson Oduber claimed that he wasn’t being informed, yet – there he was suggesting that no “searches” for “the BODY” were taking place?

      If Nelson didn’t know about the CONFESSION, then how was he able to claim that no searches were going on where “the suspect was leading police to the LOCATION of THE BODY”?

      Yet, here he is now, worried about a BOAT of Heroes attempting the recovery of brutally victimized child’s remains, and Nelson wants to be in on every step of their actions they take?

      WHY IS THAT?

      Why is it that Oduber apparently had no interest in being apprised on a daily basis (as it was claimed two and a half years ago that he was not being kept up to date), concerning the daily ALE activities involving the seriousness of investigating a MISSING AMERICAN CHILD believed to be the victim of MURDER, which involved the ALE as reporting that a CONFESSION by one of the suspects to the “killing of Natalee Holloway” had been made – yet, suddenly, two and a half years later, Oduber is very interested in a ship on the ocean filled with heroic American men whose conscience and moral integrity can’t be bought or sold, and suddenly, now – Oduber seems to want daily briefings on everything they are doing!!!

      Are Oceanic interrogations of greater concern to Nelson Oduber than the Stratten “interrogations” that Oduber claimed he had no knowledge of?

      The slime-factor is reflective of the leadership, Kat. If Oduber was interested in integrity and an investigation driven by a search for justice and the truth, surely a real investigation would have been carried out – over two and a half years ago.

      But, as the old saying goes: “You will know them by their deeds”…so too, do we know exactly in which category to place Oduber, Dompig, Straten, Jacobs and all their pals.

      Imagine the kind of men who would seek to gang up on a little defenseless child to rape her, and murder her, then desecrate her body…but then to continue their vicious rampage so as to crush her truth from being told …the savagery is unthinkable and so depraved, it chills the earth.

      Justice for this precious child and her family!

      Let the hearts of those heroic men and women aboard the Persistence give reason for the belief that the “word was made flesh” and “dwells among us”, for there upon the sea dwells the life-giving presence of God’s Spirit among us, giving hope and new life where there was only sorry and unthinkable, unimaginable suffering and torment.

      God bless the work of the Persistence crew!

      Hope for Natalee because hope found expression through the hearts of beautiful, compassionate men and women who dared to find answers to the painful ordeal that Natalee suffered at the hands of unscrupulous, heartless cruel corrupt men who sought to crush her voice and her truth.

      Justice for Natalee.
      Hope through Persistence!

    34. brie on December 27th, 2007 11:20 pm

      #33…Pearl, always good to hear from you!

      Oduber, supposedly was in Ft Lauderdale when Natalee became missing. Was it not important enough to inform him regardless of where he was? Straaten did a lot of dirty things. While the cat is away the mouse will play!! Then again, we don’t know that for sure. But Oduber did make the statement later on that he was sick and tired of the case. No credit given there!.

      There all just a bunch of sneaky, slimy, stinking a~~holes! And they lie and they lie and they lie!

      Joran has always said “You will never find her”. Is that because he didn’t know someone could search the depths of the water?

    38. 10061906 on December 28th, 2007 12:15 am

      Another day of celebrating birthdays and holidays with family and friends.
      One of our “GUEST” knows how I have an interest in Natalee’s disappearance and almost mocking me brought up the subject. I have had a few friends turn into acquaintences because of questionable remarks. All of a sudden I was the center of attention because of my convictions each firing questions at me. Especially why such a dislike for the Arubans and Dutch.
      I told them I will say three sentences and I will say no more.
      One: No father should have to go to Aruba to search for his daughter in a garbage dump.
      Two: No mother should be told by the investigating police on Aruba that why do we need your daughter, we have whores of our own.
      three: Unreleased plans discovered by the Dutch prosecuting office on one of the suspects computer as to what they plan to do to American female tourist on Aruba.
      There was silence for about three minutes. Then someone said next topic; end of discussion.

    39. Allan on December 28th, 2007 12:27 am

      Did they run a rape kit and check for date rape drug in the found missing girl? They seem to like raping the American tourists in Aruba. Will somebody knock that damn Amigo Renfro witch off her broom. What a disgusting thing she is and writes.

    40. Pearl on December 28th, 2007 12:35 am

      Hi Brie, #34 …

      I find it incredulous that Oduber claims he had no daily briefings concerning where things stood regarding the so-called investigation to find Natalee, nor of the Confession that was reported by his own Aruban ALE as having been made by one of the suspects, who confessed to the “killing of Natalee Holloway”, (Oduber claimed he knew nothing of the Confession, nor of the suspect leading police to the LOCATION of the body, claiming he wasn’t briefed on the daily “progress” that his own representatives were claiming as being made – a claim of progress that was made FIVE DAYS PRIOR TO THE CONFESSION, A CLAIM OF “PROGRESS” THAT WAS MADE TO SECRETARY CONDOLEEZA RICEm which – in order to make such a claim, the Aruban representatives would have required knowledge and briefings in order to make their claims to a U.S. State Dept. Official. How did Oduber go from “being informed” of “Ale progress” by making a claim on June 5th, that “great progress was being made” to – a situation where only five days later, suddenly, Oduber was NOT being “informed” when it concerned the CONFESSION of Joran Van der Sloot and the statement by ALE police that the “suspect was leading police to the location of the body”?

      How did Oduber go from being informed on June 5 (where he could claim “great progress was being made in his investigation) to “not being informed only five days later on June 10?

      Yet – today, there’s a boat named Persistence on the water searching for a brutally victimized child whom his own ALE had a confession to the killing of over two years ago ( that Oduber claimed to know nothing about), and suddenly now, Oduber wants to publicize that he wants to be fully informed.

      Oduber claimed he didn’t have any daily briefings concerning the daily status of the so-called ALE investigation being run by his police when asked about the Confession and the suspect leading police to the location of Natalee’s body – on June 10, yet, while somehow claiming he was receiving briefings five days earlier – on June 5, when it came to telling Secretary Rice that “great progress” was being made – regarding the falsely arrested black security guards, and now – Oduber wants briefings when it concerns FINDING NATALEE UNDER THE WRETCHED CIRCUMSTANCES OF HER BODY BEING DUMPED IN THE OCEAN BY THE SAVAGES WHOSE CONFESSION HE CLAIMED TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

      Oduber either lied when he told Beth that finding Natalee was his number one priority ( by failing to conduct daily briefings to maintain an informed understanding of the status of the ALE investigation which he claimed was his “number one priority”- an investigation, which his own representatives had reported as having made “great progress” to Secretary Condoleeza Rice on June 5th- while Oduber then claimed five days later, on June 10, that he wasn’t receiving daily briefings on Natalee’s case and that he knew nothing of the “confession” or of the “suspect leading police to the location of Natalee’s body”). How could the finding of Natalee have ever been his number one priority if Oduber wasn’t concerned enough to receive daily updates on where things stood concerning the victimization of an American child?

      How could Natalee be the number one priority, if Oduber was somehow receiving daily briefings on June 5 – enough to claim to Secretary Rice that “great progress” was being made in the “investigation” ( when the two innocent black guards were framed and falsely arrested and their arrests were reported to Secretary Rice on June 5), yet – somehow then claim five days later, when THE CONFESSION was made to “THE KILLING OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY” by Joran, along with the admission that the suspect was leading police to the “LOCATION OF THE BODY” – and here, suddenly, Oduber claimed he wasn’t being informed of the daily activities being taken by his own ALE?

      Either Oduber was lying, when he claimed that finding Natalee was his “number one priority”, while his own claims to Secretary Rice on June 5 seemed to suggest that he indeed was receiving daily briefings – otherwise, how could he claim that “progress” was being made, or, Oduber lied on June 10, when he claimed he had no daily briefings when the CONFESSION was made to the “killing of Natalee Holloway”, in which case it would seem to suggest that Oduber was engaged in covering up his own knowledge that Natalee Holloway had not only been murdered, but that her body was being purposefully hidden from the FBI and her family.

      How could Oduber claim to have briefings on the arrests of the two innocent black men (June 5), yet when it came to the Dutch boy and his pals and the confession to the “killing of Natalee Holloway and a suspect leading police to the location of her body”, suddenly Oduber didn’t have “briefings” and knowledge of the current status of the greatest disgrace and savagery to ever hit his island (June 10)?

      He can’t have it both ways!

      It seems incredulous to think that Oduber was not receiving the same briefings when Joran confessed to the killing of Natalee Holloway on June 10 and was leading police to the location of her body, while Aruban government representatives claimed five days earlier – to Secretary Condoleeza Rice on June 5, that “great progress” was being made, all suggestive of “briefings”, while we also have United States officials claiming to have had DAILY CONTACT with Oduber following reports of Natalee being “missing”. How could Oduber have daily contact with US officials yet not know the status of his own police investigation concerning a missing American child?

      How could Oduber not know about the CONFESSION on June 10, and the “Suspect leading police to the location of the body” – if Oduber was maintaining daily contact with United States officials, and claiming on June 5th that his ALE was making “great progress”?

      How did Oduber go from daily conversations with United States officials, and statements by his own officials of “great progress” being made (made on June 5, which would suggest daily briefings were indeed going on) to – suddenly,on June 10th, claiming that he was not having daily information passed on to him from his own ALE, when it came to THE CONFESSION TO THE KILLING OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY and the SUSPECT LEADING POLICE TO THE LOCATION OF HER BODY?

      Someone should call the fire department to put out the major flames shooting from Oduber’s pants, that go with the famous saying about “liar,liar, pants on fire”.

      Oduber’s conduct is a disgrace.

      Natalee Holloway was entitled to an investigation.
      She never got one.
      Everything was a sham and a charade.
      Aruba violated not only Natalee’s human rights, but they violated the human rights of her parents who continue to be tortured by this barbaric savagery and cruel indifference.

    41. mayan_moons on December 28th, 2007 12:46 am

      Well now one must ask why the fat ugly slob’s living on Aruba are troubling themselves with how much it’s costing for the search that The Persistance is conducting to find our American girl next door.

      Is it coz no one including your fellow Aruban’s wouldn’t give two $hits much less 2 cent’s to search for any of you?

      Why does the cost concern you pea brains? You sound jealous, petty and pathetic.

      Quit worrying about how much the search is costing & go have yourself a beer over at C&C’s you ignorant lazy slacker’s.

    42. brie on December 28th, 2007 2:14 am

      None of this is coming out of the pockets of Aruba…so go mind your own damn business. Oduber wants detailed information on the water SEARCH….get lost!!!! If we find her she’s coming home!!!!!

      Justice will be served one day friends, it may not be in our lifetime but rest assured it will come. This is all we have to hang onto right now, pending the water search, and even if this is negative, do know it will be dealt with and Natalee will have her day and she will be justified. Most of our minds are to small to conceive this, but it will prevail, and it will be at her will when the time comes. Natalee is more alive now than when she walked the earth, and I mean this in a good way, she is in our hearts and minds, we all have fallen in love with her and her family. I want Natalle home as much as anyone does, she needs to be in her land she was brought into from birth. And one day, she shall be. I made a comment a while back on this about Natalee’s island, and I guess no one got it, because I received a lot of critisizm on it, well, you all have made your fog images over Aruba, and I made mine spritual, same thing as you did, but you never undestood, I was doing the same thing, only spiritualy. As far as Im concerned, this is Natalee’s island and hers to rule, and watch over , if she wishes, but her name and the island will never die. The island may die, but Natalee will go on forever, if you understand what Im saying and said. When you cruise the islands you will hear Natalee whisper in the winds as you go. A constant reminder to the Arubans, they so screwed up, I have better words to use but not nice to use here. As far as the thing I said about her forgiving them, well, its up to you to figure that one out, after this life when we know all and the whys, you may understand. None of this is right in my mind and yours, and I want justice as well and now, but i know in time there will be, and a reason will be given why it had to happen. Say what you want, and Im not high, or drinking, its just my open mind at work, there is so much we do not know, only what we have been taught and history. I want Natalee home to you all, my heart is with her and her family……

    47. Rammstein on December 28th, 2007 9:38 am

      I may not be an Aruban apologist (although some might feel very different about that) and I am most certainly not a Joran apologist (I am of the opinion that he is either the killer or involved in the killing of Natalee) but here is what I think about the questions asked in reply 15 (which were a repost of questions by MD I think):

      Q: 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?

      A: I think that the ALE didn’t do it because they did not feel compelled to do so (for whatever reason that is) and with regard to the KLPD, our police force never reveals details like that about an investigation. I am convinced they investigated Paul van der Sloot’s actions in this case but just like always, that kind of information is never made public without there being a reason to do so (for investigative purposes).

      Q: Can you explain why search warrants for Paulus Van Der Sloot’s home and property were amended on site?

      A: dutch search warrants are not like US warrants in which the judge just gives a warrant and that is it. A Dutch judge as guardian of civil rights and as a tool of the justice department is (with only a few exceptions) as a rule always present during a search or in telephonic contact with his eyes on the ground during a search (if he cannot be present in person because he is on another island for example and the search is a rush job). A Dutch judge can limit searches, decides what is reasonable to take and is not and can even expand searches. In our laws it is something that can be done by judges, however the reasons behind this decision is unknown as long as the judge does not explain his decisions to the media.

      Q: What was the rationale for not searching the WHOLE premises?

      A: That only the judge who made the decision knows for sure. It can be that the police did not provide enough evidence to make it reasonable that a more extensive search of the house was in order. The fact that Joran walked in there for use of the computer may not be enough but again, without the judges words to this that is merely speculation on my part.

      Q: 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?

      A: I am not sure at all that Karin Janssen was a close friend of Paul van der Sloot. During Karin Janssen tour of duty (so to speak) to the islands Paul was mostly training in Curacao and away to the Netherlands. The reason he got such a letter is because he and his lawyer wanted access to the case files, in an attempt (or so I have been lead to believe based on reports in Dutch media) to make that impossible they wrote he and his lawyer are not allowed to get at the statements because he no longer is a suspect. A really stupid move IMHO, they should have just given him his own statements and kept him on as suspect. And why the security guards did not get one? I am not sure, that can only be explained by the OM itself.

      Q: 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?

      A: I have no idea whether he was actually brought in for questioning and if he was, there might be a statement because these things normally never are made public. The only reason we have some of them to read is due to an act of illegality on the part of whomever gave them to the family. Whether or not there is such a statement might come out when the family get access to the dossier.

      Q: 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?

      A: double layered onion? Well, the judge can only award him money if he no longer is a suspect so his first ruling had to be on the question if Paul remained a suspect or no longer was a suspect. And in this he had very little leeway, the DA itself provided a letter stating Paul no longer was a suspect (as said earlier, a real dumba$$ move on the DA’s part) so ruling any differently would not have stood up to scrutiny by a higher court (due to the DA’s own evidence per the letter). The amount I am not sure of, it also covers legal fees as far as I am aware of and damage to the person in question but I was really pleased it was appealed and overruled by a higher court.

      Q: 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!

      A: I do not have a clue whether or not they have identified the person but if he is not involved they most certainly will not reveal his personal details and if he is involved his personal details wouldn’t be released either.

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

      A: no I cannot, without proof to the contrary we cannot prove he was not as he said, asleep in his bed. He might have been out hiding Natalee’s body but that has to be proven by the DA, he is not required to prove that he was in bed asleep.

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

      A: I am not sure he ever changed his story or whether it was a miscommunication or a misunderstanding. It is almost certain that he did pick up Joran at 11pm (before the little a$$hole went out again to do whatever he did to Natalee).

      Q: 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?

      A: I don’t know, maybe someone from the media?

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

      A: no, I cannot

      Q: 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!

      A: well, the test whether something is human blood or animal blood is not that difficult and the forensic technicians from the Netherlands who were flown in from the Netherlands would be able to determine whether something is animal or human blood.

      Q: 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?

      A: there is no evidence Paul van der Sloot and Judge Smid knew each other personally. There is even less evidence to suggest he would sleep there. The president of the court had no issue with this judge ruling in the case because judge Smid barely had been on the islands for weeks and therefore not been in contact with Paul van der Sloot (who at that time no longer was on the same island as judge Smid).

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

      A: it does not as far as I am aware differ much from your understanding of the term.

    48. Bob on December 28th, 2007 11:22 am

      #47

      thanks for the lengthy response. I think a total makeover of that “justice system” is totally overdue and warranted. It must have been developed by the drug cartel of the 90′s, and before. (You know…..those guys up on the hill.)

    49. Rammstein on December 28th, 2007 11:27 am

      Bob, I think it is more a question of overhauling the police department and the political system on the island. Those 2 are the main contributors to this investigation going down the drain.

    50. dave on December 28th, 2007 11:47 am

      Rammstein you ducth TROLL you’ve shown your true colors here too many times. Go crawl back in bed with Joran and Paulus you slimeball

    51. kayjay on December 28th, 2007 12:02 pm

      No. 48 Bob…Right on…I couldn’t have said it better if I tried for a year!! Their “justice” system is a total joke. No wonder perps like those four go around raping, dealing drugs, lying under oath, bribing each other and the so called legal authorities..they know their system is a complete farce..they probably drink a toast to “Napoleon and his law” before they commit their latest hossible crime. DISGUSTING..BOYCOTT ARUBA AND THE NETHERLANDS.

    52. brie on December 28th, 2007 12:16 pm

      Me thinks a Dutch Judge has too much power.

      There is a list of violations on Natalee’s Freebirds that refers to a Conflict of Interest numerous times.

      FAMILY SO POORLY. ALL THEY HAVE TRIED TO DO IS
      FIND THEIR DAUGHTER, AND ARUBA HAS TRIED TO
      BLOCK THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

      **** EVEN, IF SOMEONE ELSE PAYS FOR IT. That is not
      right, and it is very disturbing!

      ANYONE WHO COULD DO THAT TO INNOCENT PEOPLE
      IS A MONSTER. F Rooba, I hope they drop a 2 ton
      boogie-banger on that a$$.

      May it knock Henrietta Hippo ‘Nita Vandersloot
      right out of her backdoor & into the garden.
      ROFL. I hope she’s puttin on lipstick when
      it hits & she accidentally shoves it up her
      nostril and pokes herself in the brain!

      Immediately jail Nelson “I left my nuts in my other

      pair of pants” Oduber…. throw his ass in jail.

      Same for that sexual predator, Rudy Croes! Shoot

      you could put him in the poke for that

      wicked A$$ LOOKIN’ ‘MO FINE HAIR PIECE’ alone!

      If you clap your hands loud enough and scare it,

      it’ll jump up off his head & make a run for the door.

      It reminds me of the hand named ‘THING’ on

      the old Addams family tv show. LOL

      “It is not known whether the crew has applied for a work permit for the search with the government.”

      That is really scare tactics!

      Any and I repeat any volunteer work, by a tourist or temporary resident on Aruba does NOT need a work permit.

      Rammstein: I’m not attacking you but there are some problems with your answers.

      First: A judge that was a friend of Paulus (admittedly by him, stating he was on leave) changed the search warrant. 2. Ric Smid DID stay at the van der Sloot’s home. Friend or not (and they were)a judge staying at the home of a suspect and his father is totally improper. This was reported in the Aruban papers.

      This was not simple bungling or merely a different justice system. What bears this out very clearly are statements made just as shutting Beth up, and wishing the case would go away, and being tired of the case. The hostility even towards the “funding” of the Persistence and Tim shows where Aruba’s allegiance lies and what is most important to them. The trolls we see here and on other forums show very clearly what Aruba thinks of Americans and also of Natalee Holloway.

    56. katablog.com on December 28th, 2007 1:04 pm

      Oh yeah, what kind of “justice system” makes it NOT a crime to lie to the investigators? What type of “justice system” lets perps walk simply because they don’t break? Knowing this is how it works gives every incentive in the world for a pathological liar to just keep quiet or keep lying. What kind of “justice system” allows a perp to describe the sexual things he did to Natalee and then walk away free?

      There are witnesses who know what Paulus said the first night about when he picked up Joran. There are also witnesses that know what Joran described to Jug about what he did to Natalee. Why have these witnesses never been interviewed or their statements come to light?

    57. Vicki on December 28th, 2007 1:39 pm

      Ramm…It seems like LIERUBA doesnt want this solved and will never solve it. They change “laws” whenever they fel like it. As far as Im concerned…they will go down soon….

      On another note..Pearl can you emial me at justicefornatalee@gmail.com….I must speak with you.

      Once again, we are getting lengthy posts from those who purport to understand and explain the Dutch legal system.

      Not being informed on it, I am not able to say how valid or invalid those posts may be.

      So let’s look at the RESULTS of the Dutch legal system, as it is exemplified on Aruba.

      The most glaring example of its inadequacy: Aruba and the Netherlands, as far as I know, have never resolved what would seem to be a simple question.

      To wit, who has jurisdiction in the case?

      I don’t believe anything that Aruba says, and at this point very little that the Netherlands says.

      Corrupt politicians and lawyers are found everywhere … but in my view, the Aruban legal system isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

      Laws are written, but are interpreted by people.
      Aruba has shown us what can be done by those who wish to cover up the truth.

      I have my own ideas as to the motivation for the cover-up … and we don’t need to hear those ideas again. But two and a half years of nonstop lies and evasions should convince anyone about the efficacy of what passes for a “legal system.”

      To hell with Aruba. Just boycott the place.

    59. Richard on December 28th, 2007 1:54 pm

      #25/30 – Kat, I feel your pain and frustration. Sometimes it is very difficult to take the high road. Living and loving well is the best revenge, my friend. Our continued support of the family and scrutiny of Aruba comes from the heart and we should all be proud of what we have helped to accomplish here. We all know that there was a lot of scrambling to make Natalee disappear and the scrambling continues as they throw every dirty trick in the book (and then some) at Natalee’s family to prevent them from getting to the truth. The name Perseverance could not be more appropriate for the vessel searching for Natalee. We live and love well by supporting Natalee’s family in their search for the truth and in our attempts to bring awareness of the dangers and corruption that control Aruba.

      There are some truly beautiful monkeys here and I’m so proud to be a part of this blog. We are better than the trolls whose blackened hearts and souls defend the criminal activities and corruption of Aruba. We are better than the Aruban newspaper employees who call themselves reporters (Jossy not included). We are better because our voices are one and come from good hearts. We are better because we stand for what is good, right and just. We are better because what we say or do is not controlled by the love of money.

      Positive energy, monkeys. Think good and loving thoughts for Natalee, her friends and family, for TES and all the volunteers and crew of the Perseverance. Feel it, believe it, send it.

    62. Pearl on December 28th, 2007 3:33 pm

      Thank you, da_wench. Your response is beautiful.

      The evil we are surrounded by is very real, and a force to be reckoned with.

      God bless the Persistence crew, and their pure hearts.

      God bless, honorable Tim Miller, a man whose compassion and generosity gives meaning to the Spirit of Christmas.

      And all the pitiful, manipulated excuses for this depravity reveals the core of what is in their hearts!

      May this child be found and returned to her family so that their suffering may at least be somewhat alleviated in their God-given right to bury their child.

      Our children need to be warned and protected from this savagery and evil.
      Natalee’s story has only just begun.
      They cannot silence her voice, or her truth.
      This savagery is abominable and summons all of us to an awakening as to what is at stake here: OUR CHILDREN, THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS, THEIR SAFETY, THEIR RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED, AND GOD FORBID, THEIR RIGHT TO AN INVESTIGATION IF SOME MONSTERS RIP THEIR PRECIOUS LIVES FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

      Natalee deserved an investigation and never got one, and the unscrupulous defend this depravity.

      The truth is not hard to see, nor it it difficult to find. That’s why the innocent black men were arrested and the men last seen taking Natalee Holloway away, were completely avoided – for TEN DAYS, until they completed more of their depravity – in erasing their evidence, rehearsing their unconscionable lies, and lawyering up.

      Justice for Natalee Holloway!

    63. chris on December 28th, 2007 3:47 pm

      I have been wondering for a long time time about why the sea search. Was told by some of you that Art Wood suggested a specific area. Who told Art???? There has to be someone who knows Natalee’s location, because I can’t imagine that Art just picked an area at random. It’s driving me nuts and believe me it doesn’t take much any more after 2 and a half years.
      Was it yet another red herring to keep us from concentrating on the real place?
      Maybe with the new year will come what we all pray for…..

      Those boys better be praying to God that

      they didn’t have their cellphones lit

      on the night they dumped the body from the

      If they had one even so much as turned

      on and synching up with a tower, they’re

      gonna be getting their nuts nailed

      to the floor.

      With as much as Joran “Das Booty Pirate” enjoys

      flappin’ those big a$$ Dutch lips on his celly…

      I think it’d be a pretty safe bet that at least

      1 of those pimp-fags had their phone lit on the

      boat trip for the body drop. -j4n

    66. Observer on December 28th, 2007 7:08 pm

      Q: What was the rationale for not searching the WHOLE premises?

      A: That only the judge who made the decision knows for sure. It can be that the police did not provide enough evidence to make it reasonable that a more extensive search of the house was in order. The fact that Joran walked in there for use of the computer may not be enough but again, without the judges words to this that is merely speculation on my part.
      —————————–

      If I understand this correctly Judge Wit yesterday said that Jorans Apt and the 2 cars are all that were requested to search. We know from Peter De Vries that is totally false and someone is lying bigtime. When Investigators showqed up to do a full search of the entire Van Der Sloot property they were shocked to find out it was changed and only included Jorans Apt and a small part of the property. We know 7 days later when Paul Van Der Sloot was arrested on suspicion of Murder and Kidnapping they never searched the property then either. Since when do Murder,Kidnapping and Rape Suspects get immunity from having there houses searched?

      Someone needs to answer for this right now!!!! They are caught red handed covering up a murder and protecting the Van Der Sloots. Judge Wit is lying through his teeth or the OM(AG)KJ are as dirty as can be and someone needs to take responsibility for killing this case and covering up Natalee’s Murder.

    67. Observer on December 28th, 2007 7:21 pm

      [b]Asked why it took investigators more than two weeks after Holloway’s disappearance to search the van der Sloot home, Janssen said Thursday, “You have to build up an investigation. You can’t just go in there like a cowboy, you have to give certain direction to investigators.”[/b]
      ——————————–
      Yeh right,They searched the two innocent security’s guards house who they tried to frame,immediately when they were arrested. I am extremely anxious to get to the bottom of why that house was never searched in 2005. Judge Wit changed the Warrant or Paul’s buddies in the OM including the AG that he worked for never requested the full search. As of right now I am to believe Judge Wit is lying and he changed the search. They are cooked and this is positive proof they covered up Natalee’s murder and protected the Van Der Sloots.

      ___________

      We who are left behind to uphold Natalee’s truth ( all of us, not just Beth and Dave – but ALL of us), have a duty to ask our elected officials how the United States is following up on this travesty of an “investigation” that was nothing more than a coverup, that includes the violations of an American child’s human rights, and the rights of her family.

      If integrity no longer matters to us, then by all means – let the savages roaming the earth steal our children, rape them, beat them and murder them – if this is our vision for what freedom and democracy stand for. But if integrity to the truth, and a pursuit of justice means anything at all to us – then as God is our witness, we must stand firm in insisting this child’s human rights be honored and protected. She was lied to, she was stalked, she was targeted, she was chosen because she was an American child. HOW IS THIS NOT AN ACT OF TERRORISM AGAINST ONE OF OUR CHILDREN?

      This is NOT an isolated incident, nor is it the end result of a young girl who as Dompig would like to suggest “drank to levels of toxicity”.
      The suggestion of such an outcome is outrageous, and so fraught with dishonesty, it’s sickening.

      This is about men who selected an American child to target for the purpose of kidnaping her, raping her and then – they murdererd her and hid her body so that her family could not discover the vicious cruelty she was subjected to – and at WHOSE hands.

      The traces of this national disgrace to Aruba go all the way to Oduber and his henchmen who went along with this corruption.

      The condoning of a child’s murder doesn’t take place without help, and support from higher places. These officials took part in a savagery that is unthinkable, and for which answers must be given. This child’s story has grown into an issue that concerns the safety and well being of children everywhere because of what is involved in Natalee’s suffering.

      We cannot stand idle, with closed eyes, closed ears and silent tongues to this outrageous victimization of Natalee Holloway, at the hands of evil corrupt men, with their butchering of her human rights, and the vicious torment they inflicted upon her parents and family.

      If we submit to this horrific conduct, we enter into the savagery that these monsters inflicted upon this child, and all those children who will follow her never knowing the evil that lurks on that island. This has now become an issue of savaing our children from the savagery in Aruba, and the honoring of Natalee’s suffering through the pursuit of her truths and the right she has for justice.

      Nice job, Observer!

    69. Jennifer on December 28th, 2007 8:44 pm

    70. Richard on December 28th, 2007 9:41 pm

      There was a question up above about where Art Wood got his info from. I am told that he spent three months on Aruba investigating.

      However, I don’t know who his sources are or how reliable they are.

      I firmly believe that when the FBI told Beth on June 10 that Natalee was most likely the victim of a homicide … they were passing along the info that Aruba wanted to publicize. And at that time, few people realized the extent of Aruba’s duplicity or the depths to which it would go, the degree to which it would immerse itself in slime, to prevent the truth from getting out.

      And for whom was all this done? Merely the three punk kids and the failed wannabe judge PvdS?

      Nope, not in my book.

      UPDATE FROM THE PERSISTENCE:

      “Update: Fri Dec-28 1200 hrs

      Last night, most of the crew and search team took a break and had dinner on the island. As much as we love the Persistence, it was a needed separation both of work and surroundings. For most of us, it was the first time off the Persistence in over a week.

      Today, the trade winds are steady and strong. Wind surfers and parasails dot the beach as the Persistence completes the primary grid of sonar lines. To clarify, there is more planned grid remaining to be surveyed but the priority area is essentially complete. Within minutes, we will perform a calibration routine for the USBL acoustic tracking system. When successful, the ROV team will bring out the ROV and perform a test dive. The dive ensures the Persistence can maintain position over a fixed point (in 35+kt winds, 3-5ft swells, and strong cross currents) while the ROV safely navigates to a known point and can adequately maneuver in close proximity to the seafloor. For once, the pressure is off the sonar operators as they breath a major sigh of relief. All eyes will now turn toward the ROV pilot and boat captain as they perform this difficult dance among men and machine.”

      And so, now we know approximately where they consider the PRIORITY AREA to be [ "Wind surfers and parasails dot the beach as the Persistence completes the primary grid of sonar lines." ] Good. I’m sure the vacationers on the beach watching the Persistence gliding back & forth can’t mistaken it for a fishing boat. It would be interesting what the ‘hotel personnel’ respond when someone asks :

      what’s going on out there?

      Oh, nothing much, just a bunch of Americans scanning for a body that one of our local sporters drugged, raped, and tossed out to sea. Another Aruba Frosty ma’am?

    72. From the Persistence on December 28th, 2007 11:13 pm

      Update: Fri Dec-28 2030 hrs

      The USBL calibrations are completed. The ROV test dive will proceed in the morning. If successful, the first dive on targets will follow.

    73. 10061906 on December 29th, 2007 12:33 am

      Pearl 68: Again all very good examples; however we keep saying they (Aruba) has to do this or check into that or our State Department has to do this. They don’t have to do anything and won’t.
      I’m sorry to say again that when the foxes hold the keys to the hen house there is nothing you can do. The USA says that Venezuelian oil is not used. It comes from Lake Maricaibo to Aruba partially refined at the VALERO refineries taken to Canada on Canadian tankers and then exported to the USA from Canada. Check; our biggest exporter of oil to the USA is Canada and it does not all come from shale in Calgary.
      The Netherlands is supportive of the US in Irag. The World Court is at the Hague. The Dutch don’t want the circumstances of Natalee’s disappearance exposed. Even though Aruba is over run with drugs, money laundering, prostitution, murdering US Citizens, the USA has a DEA facility at the Beatrix AirPort(full time too)
      When the Dutch F16′s did their dimunitive flyby to find Natalee and they could if she where as big as a submarine; who refueled the jets on their flight back to the Netherlands? Well the Dutch tankers were in Irag supporting US offenses, the US Air Force provided refueling tankers on the flight back to the Netherlands.
      And besides they where on a scheduled mapping flight. See how propaganda ministers twist news to their advantage; “Why they, the Dutch even flew in F16′s to look for Natalee”. Pure Bulls–t.
      So in conclusion unless someone talks there will be no one supporting our search for answers. It just won’t happen.

    74. Observer on December 29th, 2007 1:07 am

      Translation – posted by Lazlo at RU
      Bob Wit defends himself in Bon Dia.

      (For sure translation faults, but on or about what it says is the following)

      Ex Head Commissar Bob Wit defends his actions in the Holloway case.

      -Willemstad- “I have acted correct procedure wise in the case of Natalee Holloway, The ex Head Commissaris in the affair, Bob Wit tells about the procedures that took place fast in the first days of the investigation. During one week, Mr Wit who’s avenue is affiliated with the Court of Justice of the Caribbean, has functioned as a Head Commissar in the case here.

      On Aruba the Chief of investigation in the time when Gerald Dompig was the Head Commissar, did not approve of the search of the house of the parents of Van Der Sloot as part of the investigation and had obstructed the investigation (?). The investigation of the Dutch crime investigator Peter R. de Vries, has came to the same conclusion. It was remarkable in the case that after the Dutch group of investigators had joined the case they were allowed to search the territory of the family. The impression was given also because it was the deal of a functionnaire who was learning to become Head, felt he had to protect the privacy of the family. Paul van der Sloot, father of Joran van der Sloot after having become a suspect in the case. ……. (no idea)

      Mr Wit, had to decide in an instant about the search of where Joran’s father lived, and made the decision to allow the search of the apartment of Joran van der Sloot and also in the two cars of the family.

      At no moment they had (asked?) to search more then that. A Head Commisar cannot do otherwise, because the petition has to be substantial. Another word is by having allowed to search at other places that were not covered by the petition of the OM all evidence eventually obtained would be illegal. This is very significant since dealing with the case ourselves we had to work in a correct manner, Mr Wit says.

      The ex Head Commissar also says by having dealt with the case himself the suspicions against Van Der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers is strong.

      I had concluded from the dossier there had been various contradictions in their declarations. But that is not enough to succeed in a conviction. In a case where no the remains are found in order to treat it as a crime you have to have additional material such as a witness who has seen it happen or traces of blood that for example can be tested for DNA, so the Magistrate tells.

      For one thing is, the case itself, Mr Wit says that even after time has passed one can still prosecute the suspects. I have seen often in my work the instant good new information comes up that can throw a new light on a case that was unsolved, so Mr Witt is commenting. The Ministry Public in Aruba has announced this the week that the case here ….of a “crime” is 7 years for murder and 10 years for premeditated murder.

If successful, the first dive on a sonar target will follow. It will be difficult getting sleep tonight. Months of planning for some, years of planning for a few have all come down to the next couple days. Although unspoken, the stress is intense. We all seem to cope in our own ways.

      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

      what a load of BS here.

      1. there was no scheduled survey mission to the island.
      2. there were no dutch F-16 fighters in Iraq, they were stationed in Afghanistan. The only dutch royal airforce troops are a platoon of apache and other helicopters.
      3. the fuel-plane was a Dutch Royal Airforce KDC-10 which was also going all the way to Aruba because it had all the equipment needed for the search mission.

      Also, the Dutch government and Dutch people have no issue in the truth about Natalee’s disappearance coming out. Much worse has come out here in cases then that. Also it seems some Americans have the impression that we could give a sh*t as to what happens in Aruba, well we don’t. Aruba is in almost all things it’s own lord and master and they know that and also know that this gives them the opportunity to screw over Natalee’s case and Natalee’s family because they know there will be no consequences for them as long as the turth remains hidden.

    77. Richard on December 29th, 2007 12:55 pm

      Also, Observer, the Dutch have naval units in the Caribbean. Ostensibly, they are taking part in anti-drug activities.

      (In the REAL world, some of the sailors and marines have been found to be smuggling drugs back to the Netherlands. But anyways ….)

      So how much of a role are the Dutch playing in the water search? My understanding … absolutely NONE.

      Then again, who would want them to take part?

      So Rammstein, you think there are no consequences that they can feel as long as this case remains hidden? You think the people of Aruba suffer from economic disaster? We are turning up the heat here. The economic situation is going to worsen. Hope they are happy.

      If the Dutch really cared about this case, they would not have waited two years to jump in and they would not have waited 2+ yrs. to search the main suspect’s home.

      BOYCOTT F**KING ARUBA!

      Let us keep Natalee, Dave, and Beth in our hearts and prayers. Also, let’s not forget all the other families of missing loved ones.

      Texas Equusearch has been so very blessed with the support of Underwater Expeditions, the R/V Persistence (Silvetti Group), and their crew – which I think is the best in the world- for all their heartfelt efforts.

      benh: don’t think for a second that Beth and Dave will ever see 1/10th of the evidence gathered. The incriminating evidence was “lost.”

      Blood samples lost
      Confessions that were broadcast on International TV….. lost
      Beth’s statement altered, left in Dutch and they tricked her into signing it. Her original statement….. lost.

      These Aruban bastards must pay and pay for what they’ve done to this family.

      BOYCOTT ARUBA tell 10 friends about the cover up and why it’s important to make them pay for all they have done to the Holloways and America

      76; Please put your money where your mouth is:
      Unfortunately I can’t pull up my info does not exist anymore it has been removed; I only have some notes that I took. I didn’t say there were F16′s in Irag. I said the Dutch refueling planes where in Irag supporting USA offensives. Please don’t read what you want to read; comment on what is posted.
      Your thinking process is completely screwed up. You contradict yourself in line two.
      Much worse has come out about the case… BS
      Very typical of a troll shoots from the hip and puts holes in his feet and still thinks he can walk on water. Under the rock please and go back to sleep.

    85. yoyo muffintop on December 29th, 2007 2:55 pm

      dave – even though your last line was pretty funny, why don’t you go ahead and show why this guys #1/#2/#3 are BS?
      Maybe he’s got the “facts” rather than the rumors.

      and it would be nice if Underwater Expeditions spelled Natalee’s name right on their website (it’s not Natalie)

      So Rammstein, you think there are no consequences that they can feel as long as this case remains hidden? You think the people of Aruba suffer from economic disaster? We are turning up the heat here. The economic situation is going to worsen. Hope they are happy.

      If the Dutch really cared about this case, they would not have waited two years to jump in and they would not have waited 2+ yrs. to search the main suspect’s home.

      BOYCOTT F**KING ARUBA!

      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

      do the word autonomous nation mean anything to you? Aruba is it’s own lord and master when it comes to law-enforcement and prosecution of criminals. It is not POSSIBLE for the Dutch government to interfere in the business of an autonomous state inside the Kingdom.

      They could have asked for our help much earlier (and I am sure it was offered to them behind closed doors) but they did not. That is solely the choice of the Aruban leadership/politicians in power.

    88. Richard on December 29th, 2007 4:01 pm

      Yeah, Aruba is autonomous … that’s why it said it told Natalee’s family that it had no jurisdiction in the case (this was some six months or so AFTER promising action, etc.).

      That’s why Aruba has (according to my understanding) an official in the Dutch embassies abroad, which represent it diplomatically. Or am I wrong in this?

      That’s why the Netherlands takes responsibility for Aruban military and foreign affairs matters.

      I could go on and on, but why bother?

      Aruba spins the lie of the day, and the next day contradicts it. Seems that the Dutchies do the same, for the most part.

    89. Rammstein on December 29th, 2007 5:18 pm

      Richard, it seems after 2 plus years you are indeed none the wiser when it comes to Kingdom affairs (which aren’t that hard to find if one tries):

      The Kingdom of the Netherlands (not the same as the Netherlands) is a federal union of (at this time at least, chances are just on the horizon) 3 autonomous countries which are wholly responsible for the internal affairs of their respective countries.

      The only things the Kingdom is responsible for is (regulated in article 3 of the federal charter of the Kingdom):

      * Maintenance of the independence and the defense of the Kingdom;
      * Foreign relations;
      * Netherlands nationality;
      * Regulation of the orders of chivalry, the flag and the coat of arms of the Kingdom;
      * Regulation of the nationality of vessels and the standards required for the safety and navigation of seagoing vessels flying the flag of the Kingdom, with the exception of sailing ships;
      * Supervision of the general rules governing the admission and expulsion of Netherlands nationals;
      * General conditions for the admission and expulsion of aliens;
      * Extradition.

      So now let’s look at your examples:

      1. Aruba has an official at Dutch embassies abroad.

      Simple, the Kingdom has embassies, not the country of the Netherlands, and part of that Kingdom is Aruba. As written in the charter, the Kingdom is responsible for the foreign affairs of all three countries.

      2. the Netherlands takes responsibility for Aruban military and foreign affairs matters

      Even simpler, the Netherlands does not take responsibility of the military of foreign affairs of Aruba, the Kingdom of the Netherlands does that. According to the charter the Kingdom is responsible for defense and foreign affairs.

      So please continue and you will find that Aruba is totally independent when it comes to who it hires as police officers, DA’s and who it allows as judges or not.

      And puhleaze, “Aruba told the family it had no jurisdiction in the case”. I have some prime swamp land I would like to sell you for building skyscrapers on, because if you believe that statement you clearly would believe anything no matter how outrageous.

      Tell me again, who is the man who decided to close the case or better yet put it on in-active status? It was the Public Prosecution office of Aruba. No jurisdiction HAH

      Ramm,

      I’ll just never get why the KLPD agreed

      to take over for the A.L.E. glorified mall cops.

      If NL has so little power over Aruba, why

      didn’t they tell Aruba just to P the F OFF and die…

      instead of getting involved with this nightmare

      debacle of a investigation??? Why would Holland

      want to assist THE ARUBAN IDIOTS and get tarnished

      by their total corruption & breathtaking ineptness?

    94. Rammstein on December 29th, 2007 9:10 pm

      Why? in part because we are forced too due to the preamble in that treaty between Aruba, the Antilles and the Netherlands for mutual assistance when asked. Article 36 reads as follows:

      Article 36
      The Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba shall accord one another aid and assistance.

      And as a fellow Kingdom member asks for our assistance we are not only honor bound to do so but the KLPD is a proud organization who must have hoped to solve the crime and give this family the peace of mind they so richly deserve.

      Let us remember that there are cases in which people have been missing for more than 30 years (past the statute of limitations even for murder) but the police still have the file on low activity in the hopes that one day they will be able to solve the mystery and be able to recover the body so it can be buried decently and to give the parents peace of mind.

      They try to do the right thing but with the a-holes of the ALE doing everything wrong from day one what was going to be a real tough cookie. So I hope, so very very very much hope that the Persistence finds her so the police can arrest the three likely murderers of Natalee and lock them up for a very very long time.

    95. JusticeforNatalee on December 30th, 2007 9:48 am

      The way to solve the case was to
      BREAK THROUGH THE CORRUPTION AND COVER-UP.

      So, why wasn’t that done?

      Please, no blah, blah, blah, red-tape etc. explanations.

    96. Richard on December 30th, 2007 10:09 am

      Say what you will, Mr. Rammstein … Aruba told the family that it had no jurisdiction, and that if they wanted to complain about the handling of the case, they should go to the Netherlands.

      All your legalistic postings do nothing to address the REALITY of what has happened.

      No personal hard feelings, though.

    97. CapslockWizard on December 30th, 2007 1:54 pm

      It is funny to see how Mr. Rammstein Thinks.

      Very funny, now let see:
      1 Aruba is independed but has to rely on the netherland for support.

      There are two Law Books in Aruba. One for the Arubans perps and one the is in the Netherlads for the rest of the world… he he he LOL.

      Well THe FOL base in curacao is to cover the whole caribbean Ilsnad that control the drug trafficing to the states. So under that agreement only falls also all sorts of crime..so Just call the fbi in and it is done. I will bet you that after reading my report they will find her.

      The investigators in aruba did not a bit of analysis of case. They were following leads that has been fabricated to deviate fron the real truth.

      If they did a statment analysis they would have seen the truth all along in the stements.

      Now who can help me with an e-mail to the FBI that handels the Natalee case?

      capslock

    98. Rammstein on December 30th, 2007 4:17 pm

      Well Richard, Aruba has done loads of lying in the past few years when it comes to this case. They lied about the drugs and Natalee, they lied when they said the jurisdiction lies in the Netherlands (which is total and utter BS on Aruba’s part) and they said they did everything they could to solve this case.

      Now when it comes to jurisdiction, our law enforcement works like this:

      top of the food chain: Minister of Justice of Aruba

      he is head of the Ministry of Justice

      the departments of the ministry of justice include: the OM (public prosecution) and the police force (ALE)

      Legal code used on the Island: The Aruban law book

      Aruba elects the government, the government chooses the ministers, the ministers choose the staff of each department.

      This is Aruba’s jurisdiction all the way. Proof for that is the fact the Dutch police had to be asked to send people. Proof for that is the fact that the Aruban prosecution office decided whether or not to prosecute.

      Now somewhere in that system a lot of dutch people from the Netherlands work on a temporary basis. But those people do not take their orders from the Netherlands or consult with the Netherlands on Aruban issues.

      The chief decision maker in Aruba is the Aruban parliament and the Aruban government when it comes to law and order. They hold jurisdiction but I guess they tried to do what Arubans do best, pass the buck to someone else even though it is their fault.

    99. Richard on December 30th, 2007 4:23 pm

      Well, Mr. Rammstein tells us that the KLPD is a proud organization, and that it was the Aruba cops who messed things up.

      How was that again … that Hans Mos came out with the claims of “new evidence,” which apparently amounted to nothing at all?

      Remember, JQK said that they called Dave and Beth down to Aruba and then gave them NOTHING.

      Wonder what they’re so proud about?

    100. molly in houston on December 30th, 2007 6:34 pm

      Correct, Richard #99. Arubans just wanted to know “how much money do you have?”

      Boycott Aruba.

      What about the pictures of cloth? What about the videos out there and witnesses. The found evidence? What did they do with it? There is evidence and when something is found in the ocean some fish are gonna fry. Aruba has no DP because they wouldn’t have no population, for many kill and the killers and their supporters have to run loose to populate the pirate ignorant island.

      We were touched deeply, and very grateful that the Persistence, and all its supporters are doing this good works for the Holloway Family. To all of you, you are good people, and your self less acts will be richly rewarded in the joy one receives by doing good deeds. My husband and I lobster fish off the island we live on in Maine, and know well the challenges of working in bad weather! Wish we were there to help you! God Bless You, and may you find her remains for her poor family!
