Joe Mammana with more Tough Talk Toward Aruba regarding Natalee Holloway; “I’m not as patient or as nice as Beth is”

Rita Cosby November 5, 2005 Live & Direct.

Once again Joe Mammana has some pretty tough words for the island of Aruba and more to the point the three suspects, Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. As Joe Mammana states when asked what he would do with such a frustrating situation, “I’m not as patient or as nice as Beth is.” Joe Mammana is obviously going to let Beth Twitty take the lead and exhaust all efforts; however, Joe did state the following.

This is Beth’s daughter; we’re going to let her take this. But when Beth says go we’re going to take a bite of the apple cause we’re only going to want one bite. It’s going to be deep into the core. I’ll be really honest with you, after speaking to the Philadelphia school board and everyone else a boycott will be so devastating that they won’t get a bar of soap on their island when we’re finished with them.

When asked by Rita Cosby when he thought the boycott may begins, Joe’s answer was “I think that’s going to happen within the next ten days”.

Beth Twitty when asked about the possibility of a boycott and her position on one basically says that the family wants a wants answers and the ability to conduct a thorough and proper investigation.

Well, I know one thing Rita. What the family wants is we want answers. A willingness to conduct a thorough and proper investigation. We have yet to get that. They see the handwriting on the wall. I made it perfectly clear while I was in Aruba for three days that the family wants a new prosecuting attorney and new lead investigator. We spelled it out step by step in the letter everything that has happened to us in this investigation. They know that there is not a choice. So, if they chose it, so be it Rita.

For the full interview:

Rita: You know Joe, you’ve been helping this family a lot how frustrating. You hear chief Dompig saying he knows they are guilty; he just needs to prove it. Yet it has been so many months.

Joe: Well, I’ll be honest with you Rita. I’m not as patient or as nice as Beth is. Beth and I talk everyday. We had a big dinner tonight in the city of Philadelphia. It was bi-partisan; we had Republicans and Democrats, the police commissioner, our attorneys and our PR people. This is pretty much the foreplay. This is Beth’s daughter; we’re going to let her take this. But when Beth says go we’re going to take a bite of the apple cause we’re only going to want one bite. It’s going to be deep into the core. I’ll be really honest with you, after speaking to the Philadelphia school board and everyone else a boycott will be so devastating that they won’t get a bar of soap on their island when we’re finished with them. Again, we’re letting Beth call this. She’s been nice for too long as far as I’m concerned.
These three little pieces of trash over there they gang raped her daughter. They need to experience a gang rape.

Rita: Do you think it’s going to get to the point of a boycott Joe? Sounds like you think its pretty close.

Joe: I’ll be honest with you Rita. Yes, it’s going to go to a boycott. It’s going to be a devastating boycott. Yes, I do feel that.

Rita: When do you think that’s going to happen Joe?

Joe: I think that’s going to happen within the next ten days. I’ll tell you another thing…I receive a lot of calls and emails from around the world now. There are a lot of people after these kids. They have made a lot of enemies. Not just the Holloway family. They really need to watch out for themselves, because they have made enemies around the world. A boycott is going to divide and conquer. It’s going to make the Aruba people against them.
I hope the Aruba people watch this and realize that this doesn’t have to happen. Maybe they need to handle justice themselves on their own island.

Rita: Let me bring in former FBI agent, Harold Copus. Harold how do you think a boycott would impact this investigation?

Harold: I think it would be fantastic. All of a sudden we’d have some push here to make these people realize they have to give us a good thorough investigation. Which they haven’t to date.

Rita: Harold you have been down in Aruba like I have. Beth how many times have you been down there now?

Beth: Rita, I lived there for almost four months.

Rita: Harold when you see this and you see this mother be so determined. Just loves her daughter and wants a resolution, is a boycott the only thing that may push this forward?

Harold: It may be, we don’t seem to have anything else working for us from an investigative standpoint. I’ve felt for some time that might be an answer and I’ve said that privately to Beth. It sounds like it is going to come out now publicly.

Rita: Do you give any credence to the theory from Dr. Phil that she might be alive?

Harold: I think there is no more than a 20% chance. There are some things that would indicate that Natalee could have been moved off the island into the sex trade ring. That’s horrible if it is, but there’s always that chance.

Rita: Beth, how do you feel finally as we’re talking about a boycott and where things stand in the investigation? I know you’re frustrated. Do you support a boycott if it comes to that in ten days like Joe is talking about?

Beth: Well, I know one thing Rita. What the family wants is we want answers. A willingness to conduct a thorough and proper investigation. We have yet to get that. They see the handwriting on the wall. I made it perfectly clear while I was in Aruba for three days that the family wants a new prosecuting attorney and new lead investigator. We spelled it out step by step in the letter everything that has happened to us in this investigation. They know that there is not a choice. So, if they chose it, so be it Rita.

Rita: So you think it’s pretty close to heading that way Beth?

Beth: Well, we’re waiting to hear the final word if they are willing to launch a new investigative team.
