Prosecutor Says One of the Natalee Holloway Suspects Wrote Teen was Dead … But Suspects are Allowed to no longer be considered Suspects

Hey Aruba … If a Divi Divi tree falls in the woods and no one sees it, does it make a noise?

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Aruban Circular Logic known as corruption. It would have to be because no one could be this obtuse.

The prosecutors have stated that because they do not have Natalee Holloway’s body, they cannot prosecute a crime because they cannot reconstruct what happened nor can they figure out what exact role the suspects played.

The fact that the body of the missing teenager was never found is for the OM ‘an important shortage’ in the possible reconstruction of what had exactly happened.  “Because of that, the current dossier cannot give sufficient answer on the question which punishable facts took place in the night of Holloway’s disappearance, nor can it answer the question what the exact role of the suspects was in this” (SM 12/19/07)

Frankly, they could have been provided an exact video tape of the crime and these clowns would not have been able nor willing to connect the dots. Now we are presented today from the prosecutor that one of the suspects wrote that Natalee was dead. An admission from a suspect that the victim was dead; however, in Aruba that means nothing. At least in this case it does not.

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, 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.

Would someone in Aruba like to explain how in the hell that a suspect states that the victim, Natalee Holloway, is dead yet not only are all three suspects released from jail, but they are no longer considered suspects! However, they remain “persons of interest”. Why didn’t the three just remain suspects?

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 said.

UPDATE I: Comments from Jossy Mansur regarding Prosecutor Mos and New Evidence

In the meantime, Mos did hold a press conference today to explain the so-called evidence that he based himself on – the testimony of girl who spoke to Joran about 5 hours after Natalee disappeared – a new technical interpretation of the laptops confiscated, that showed a new time line that contradicts the versions given so far by the three – tape interviews from the two brother’s home of conversations between them related to the disappearance of Natalee.
 
Tomorrow, the Kalpoe brothers have called a press conference. It will be interesting to see what they have to say. 

Israel Mireles Arrested in Mexico for the Murder of Emily Sander/Zoey Zane

24 year old Israel Mireles was arrested in Mexico. Mireles is a suspect in the murder of Butler Community College student Emily Sanders. Israel Mireles was the number one suspect and the individual Emily left the bar with and was last known seen with. Sound familiar?

The suspect in the slaying of Butler Community College student Emily Sander was arrested in Mexico on Wednesday, federal authorities said.

U.S. Deputy Marshal Logan Kline said Israel Mireles, 24, was arrested in Melchor Muzquiz, Mexico, southwest of Texas, on a homicide warrant from Butler County. Kline said Mireles is being held in that country until he can be extradited to the U.S.

Israel Mireles was charged with capital murder:

Mireles has been charged with capital murder, rape and aggravated criminal sodomy in the death of 18-year-old Emily Sander, Butler County prosecutor Jan Satterfield said. Investigators believe Sander’s killing was planned, she said.

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.”

Academic Cheating Scandal Rocks Florida State Seminoles …25 Football Players Involved and Will Miss the Music City Bowl Against Kentucky

If you were planning on picking Florida State over the Kentucky Wildcats in the Music City Bowl, you may want to rethink that choice. At least 25 FSU Seminole players will be suspended for the game after their involvement in an academic cheating scandal. FSU had earlier reported to the NCAA in September an investigation by the school revealed at least 23 athletes in various sports were implicated for cheating on tests. Obviously, that was only the tip of the sugar coated iceberg.

An academic cheating scandal could leave Florida State without as many as 25 players when the Seminoles go against Kentucky in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 31.

“We have some players not traveling for one reason and some for another, including those who are ineligible for the bowl because of academic issues,” coach Bobby Bowden said in a statement released by the university Tuesday.

Bowden put the number of players involved in the 25-player range. Many of the players could also be ruled ineligible for some games next season for their connection to the cheating scandal earlier this year.

Federal privacy laws prohibit the school from releasing names.

Fla. St. shaken by fraud scandal

Stink of FSU academic fraud sticks to Bowden

The FSU players allegedly were given answers. They had papers written for them. In other words, pure, unadulterated cheating — of a sort that could not be mitigated by an athlete’s cruelly long odds in life or a family’s good intentions.

And the rest of us can start to wonder about — or choose to ignore — the pervasiveness in big-time college athletics of Internet courses as a means to push bad students through the system. Not that all Internet courses, or all student-athletes, are phony, although I am more suspicious in general of the former.
