RSSNatalee Holloway Missing in Aruba: Joran Van der Sloot’s US Attorney Joe Tacopina Calls his Client Sick, a Sociopath and Despicable … “he’s a sick kid”
“He’s a sick kid …”
Joran Van der Sloot’s US attorney, Joe Tacopina, has finally said something that we can all agree on when discussing Joran to Greta Van Susteren … “he’s a sick kid”. The comment was made by Tacopina in an interview with Greta Van Susteren, ‘On the Record’ in the aftermath of Joran’s new disclosure and latest version of the truth that he sold Natalee Holloway into slavery. Tacopina was also critical of Joran being paid for an interview, yet I am sure none of his clients had ever been offered and accepted a similar deal in the past.
One thing that we all need to remember when it comes to sociopaths, among the many lies they tell, there is some truth mixed in between. There is also a reason and a need to continually keep the focus on them. Almost as if they want to be caught.
Joran van der Sloot’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, believes his client has become a sociopath and can’t be believed.
TACOPINA: You paid him for a tape that he made and wound up getting an hour interview with him. And so be it, Greta. Great TV, great ratings- -
VAN SUSTEREN: Do you have a problem with that?
TACOPINA: Yes, I do have a problem with it, Greta, because if you offered Joran $10,000 tomorrow and ask him to tell you a fifth story, he would do it.
Clearly, he’s a sick kid. Clearly, I have nothing to say in defense of his actions, Greta. OK?
VAN SUSTEREN: Do you deny…?
TACOPINA: But I still tell you, and I stand by the notion that the investigation regarding the disappearance of Natalee Holloway has not led to Joran. That’s the bottom line.
No one expects anyone to believe anything this kid has to say anymore. Quite frankly, he’s on the verge of sociopath and despicable, but – (Full Transcript)
From Amigo, “Joran is sick and if offered enough money, you can have an interview with him.” One thing that Amigo and Joe Tacopina need to get straight with this Joran Van der Sloot interview and yet another version of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway is that Joran approached Greta and Fox News, not the other way around. It was Joran Van der Sloot who one again needed to be in the media’s eye and the focus be on him.
“Joran is sick and if offered enough money, you can have an interview with him.” With these words Joe Tacopina, the American lawyer of Joran van der Sloot, suggested that Fox News possibly made him talk in Thailand with dollars. In a broadcast of the American news channel earlier this week, Joran told the famous journalist Greta van Susteren yet another version of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Now the missing girl would have been sold to an Aruban facilitator.
The question that needs to be asked is if Joran’s attorney Joe Tacopina believes his client is sick and a sociopath, what crimes is Joran Van der Sloot capable of? This is not just about lying. If one is sick and a sociopath we are talking about the specter of someone committing crimes far worse than lying. What else is this sick kid capable of? Funny, in 2005 through 2007 Joe Tacopina and the other attorneys for Joran tried to portray him as an innocent kid mixed up in a disappearance. If as Tacopina states that Joran has no involvement in Natalee Holloway’s disappearance than why does he continue to fixate on the crime? A crime that so far he has gotten away with?
Sociopaths commit crimes far worse than lying and there is a reason why Joran Van der Sloot is fixated on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway and the need to continually keep the story alive in the media. Honesty, Joran begins to sound more like a psychopath. Like the BTK killer, there is a need for a sociopath to continually keep the story going and seek attention. Almost mocking and baiting authorities into ultimately catching them. The analogy here is not a direct comparison of the crimes, it is the flaunting of the case by individuals in a manner in which they are almost begging to be caught.
Rader is better known as BTK (“bind, torture, kill”) — a name he created himself.
As many as 5 percent of people display psychopathic or sociopathic personality disorders. That’s according to experts and the professional bible of mental illnesses– the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV). These personality disorders are marked by antisocial and impulsive behavior, disregard for societal standards, and no indications of fear or guilt. (Sound familiar or like someone we know?)
In addition to being a serial killer and a psychopath, Rader was active in his church and had just been elected church council president before his arrest. He held a job as a compliance supervisor in charge of animal control. He is married and has two children.

Tacopina is dirtbag
The vandersloots are slime
Aruba is nasty
the cops roll over for a dime.
What attorney would call his client a sociopath and a sick kid?
Perhaps Joran struck a little too close to home. There is no reason for Tacopina to reappear at this time unless he is doing damage control for those in Aruba who actually paid him. An attorney could be disbarred, or at least brought before the New York Bar for saying his client is on the verge of sociopath on national television (hey Joran, you want some cash? Time to shakedown the Taco Man with a slander lawsuit).
Greta is getting closer to something. There must be some semblance of truth around the latest Joran sighting. When Amigo and The Taco are brought out as mouthpieces, something is rotten in Aruba.
Greta…please keep on this case…Joran is ONE NASTY PIECE OF WORK!
Come om Joe Tacopenis, tell us something we dont already know. We already knew he was a sick,dispicable,sociopath.
BOYCOTT ARUBA UNTIL THEY FIND JUSTICE FOR NATALEE.
joe Tacopenis, you should be trying to help us put Joran in jail. You have a couple of cute litle girls at home and it would ba shame if Joran or someone like him set his sights on one of them.
BOYCOTT ARUBA UNTIL NATALEE GETS JUSTICE.
I think it would be best to have all of the JvdS recordings analyzed with something as f.e. LVA. ( http://tinyurl.com/65xrna ). With such an analysis you can shift out the little bits of truth, out of the huge amount of lies.
That way he will reveal what happened in the car, at the beach, near the ponds, what role his father played… And most important of all: where Natalee’s bodily remains are.
Joran’s on the run. A man without a country. The world is becoming a very small place.
OMG Bald Taco spoke the truth !!!
I don’t think Joe still represents Joran. I’m sure Greta asked him to appear on her show and express his opinion. Did I read correctly somewhere that Peter DeVries stated that Joran was both voices on the “phone call to Paulus”. This is just my opinion, but I think Greta should just have quietly turned over the info to Moss and let him decide…
tacopina sure has changed his talking points about the jvds behavior and character, hasn’t he.

From <a href =”http://joranvandersloot.blogspot.com/” Joran van der sloot blog Guess the days of slander are back on! Oh, that’s right, truth is a defense to slander.
Isn’t this from a week ago?
SuzieQ…I don’t think Joe still represents Joran. I’m sure Greta asked him to appear on her show and express his opinion. Did I read correctly somewhere that Peter DeVries stated that Joran was both voices on the “phone call to Paulus”. This is just my opinion, but I think Greta should just have quietly turned over the info to Moss and let him decide…
POOR IDEA! SINCE MOS DOES NOT INVESTIGATE ANYTHING GIVEN HIM WHAT WOULD THAT ACCOMPLISH BUT WASTING TIME?
i don’t think that the slimeball tacopenis is representing van der scum anymore. joran stated in the interview with greta that his attorney was carlos. the one in the same law firm with paulass van der scum. but, then again, joran has been know to tell a lie or two.
You’re right Barbara….it was all a waste of time since Joran just told more lies…..is it true that Mos will most likely suspend the case this month ( can be reopened later if other evidence surfaces )?
Eventually his brain will have a meltdown.
Which best suits Joran?

Not only did Tacopina say this, he also said that Paulus vdScum was “a simpleton.”
And all this time, ScaredMonkeys was saying that he NEVER told the truth. We need a correction….
I think the statement that Joran vdScum is “on the verge of sociopath and despicable” is inaccurate, as he is well over the edge. Nevertheless, let’s keep one important thing in mind: sociopaths are capable of thinking up various kinds of crime.
Including trafficking….
At one time Joe T. said Joran was a sweet kid……
Goes to show you that lawyers will say anything for there clients without truly meaning any of it.
Apropos of which, this story was published today in the Chicago Sun-Times. It seems that there have been cases of criminal trafficking of foreign women in a ring that stretched from Boston to Chicago.
Hard to imagine that there would be a multi-city ring engaged in such an enterprise, isn’t it? And that the perpetrators seemed able not only to obtain foreign women, but to threaten them in such a way that they remained compliant?
All I can say is … thank God that they don’t have gangs like that in the Caribbean. Such people must be … what’s the word?
Oh, yes, sociopaths ….
Anyway, it’s good to know that such things can’t happen to Americans. Not in the Caribbean, anyway.
Investigative team here focuses on human traffickers
Chicago Sun-Times
December 1, 2008
Two years ago, when federal authorities got a tip about a sex ring operating between here and Boston, Chicago cops set up a sting at the Congress Hotel.
There, two women — one had been advertised on an escort service Web site — were arrested. But the investigation did not stop there.
Instead, Chicago cops worked with several federal agencies to find the man whom they suspected had forced the women to prostitute themselves between the two cities.
Hugo Leonard Bastos was arrested in May 2006 at his home in Lowell, Mass. Bastos was later charged in federal court with transporting the women across state lines for prostitution.
Bastos was also suspected of bringing women here from Brazil with fake papers and then forcing them to prostitute themselves in several U.S. cities, according to court documents and investigators familiar with the case.
Chicago’s effort on the Bastos case was led by members of a new human trafficking investigative team organized in 2006 after getting a $450,000 federal human trafficking grant.
Its charge is to understand the criminal enterprises controlling the movement — and often the sale of — people around the world and in Chicago for financial gain.
The effort shows the growing attention paid by law enforcement to human trafficking — including a new awareness of domestic victims and the role local cops can play in not only finding victims but also their pimps and traffickers.
Chicago’s team consists of seven officers from different ethnic backgrounds who speak several languages. They’ve worked with 16 police departments around the United States tracing victims’ movements.
“There is a sophisticated and well-organized circuit across the United States created by different groups of traffickers to control their victims’ movement, documents, monies,” said one investigators who did not want to be named because of the undercover work the job entails.
The team investigates international victims, such as the Brazilian women, and those who are forced into sex work here, either in Chicago or over state lines.
This could mean runaway children forced into prostitution or babies sold on the black market. The team also investigates money laundering and tries to seize assets of businesses supporting prostitution.
The team also has relationships with several social service agencies that provide support for women who are arrested.
Chicago’s team has recently partnered with the Salvation Army on a new program that brings outreach workers to the scene of raids.
“We want the pimps and traffickers and johns to receive justice,” said Erin Knowles, a Salvation Army outreach worker. “Our focus is very much on the victims.”

like moss would do anything!! come on now he is just as bad as the rest.. no one left there with a bone of integrity.
First off, Joran is NOT going to admit the truth, so this is a lie….yet!…there IS truth in every lie, so I am believing the “gave her to the guy on the boat” part. Sadly, she was already dead from whatever he slipped her at the bar (GHB?) along with the alcohol she was not used to comsuming. Then again, poor girl may have been alive when Joran’s friend tossed her into the sea.
Notice that Susan Smith who killed her boys had a story (lie), Casey Anthony “left her daughter with a babysitter” who was never found (lie), Scott Peterson knows his wife had “gone for a walk with the dog” (lie), and the other Peterson who has a missing wife “has no idea” what happened to her?
Killers are not about to put themselves in prison by uttering words of truth re: their crimes, but I have comfort in the fact they will answer to the Highest Power one day. I pray the families of Natalee and other murdered innocents find peace in that fact.
Steve,
I agree !! ALL lawyers will say ANYTHING to make their client look good !!!
Some lawyers will say anything to get on tv and to win a case.
So this goes to show you that Joe T. is not always right. From model client to sociopath and sicko. So now when Joe T. and Rosie get on TV and start blah, blah, blahing, what am I supposed to believe? LOL, remember that old saying, give someone enuff rope. The perfume has come off of Joe T. too.
Let’s see..Joe said at one time, Joran only told one lie or 2.. He said there was proof Natalee used her keycard.. He said Joran was home on his computer, before Joran himself even places himself at home. He said Natalee was falling down drunk.. after Joran said she wasn’t drunk. Only reason I could see him in this case for the publicity..or someone with big bucks or both. He also said he was doing this pro bono then went on to take money for it and had to admit it to O’Reilly.. Remember the fund the cuckoo site was raising for him… Joe T and Julia..enuff said..
Depends on who’s paying the bill as to what you say.. Went after the bar for Immette St. Guillan’s family for money, because they lied and obstructed and Joe said their behaviour was far worse..yet,, it’s ok if you are the Sloots? Went after Christie Brinkley’s x husband, more big bucks, for his ex mistress..said he prayed on an innocent young woman. I have no respect for people like this.
Joran is still trying to say Natalee wanted to go see his house… yet the students said..he told them he was a 19 year old soccer player/tourist from Holland that night..
TACOPISS
IS A SLIMEBALL GREASE BUCKET… DIRTY LAWYER THAT WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THE BIG BUCKS… WITH DIRTY OFFICIALS… HE HAS NEVER TOLD THE TRUTH
I WONDER WHAT URINES DAD THINKS OF HIS REPEATED LIES AND NOW IMPLICATING HIS DAD HMMMMMMMM
steve holloway
tacopina
is a liar and a slimeball and he will say what money tells him to say in other wards whatever money he gets thats where his allegiance is
p.s
joran taco and all involved have sold their souls to the devil
especialy joran and his family.. everything lasts for a season… than all hell breaks loose and worlds start falling apart..
as we are seeing all this solowly unfold.. meanwhile natalee is at peace
This story is quite nauseating. Ugh.
Tacopenis is a indeed a slime, JDS is beyond sick and a HUGE Sociopath!!! Can’t believe a word he says, we all know he killed Natalee.
I still believe she was thrown out to Sea, not sold or any other theories. There is speculation that her remains are buried somewhere on the ROTTEN CORRUPT ISLAND OF ARUBA!
WE STAND BY THE GIRL.
BOYCOTT ARUBA AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.
-J4N
There are all kinds of speculation. As far as I know, no remains, no clothing, no possessions … nothing of Natalee’s … has been recovered on Aruba. That’s as far as I know, of course.
The other thing that I know is that, within the scope of a few hours, she disappeared from Aruba.
Other than those facts, ALL is speculation. As far as I know.
But whatever the speculation may be, we can agree on one thing … which A New Girl (#30) puts at the end of her message.
VAN SUSTEREN: In terms of boats, just so that we have some sort of idea of the geography, for people who need to be reminded, how far, for instance, is Aruba from Venezuela?
MANSUR: Fifteen nautical miles is the nearest point within Aruba and Venezuela.
VAN SUSTEREN: And do you know — and in terms of boats that night, do you know if any thorough investigation, one that you would have confidence in? Has that been done?
MANSUR: No, it hasn’t been done because that night, somebody in the police force told the people handling the radar that controls the boats in the vicinity on the coast of Aruba — told them to put it off.
(end of selection from Greta vS interview)
Hey, Hans Mos … if this assertion by Jossy Mansur can be taken as conceivably true, are you looking into it?
Are you trying to find out who this police person was who gave the order?
Are you trying to find out to whom the order was given?
Are you trying to find out what reason was given?
Are you trying to find out whose boat this was?
Are you trying to find out where this boat was going?
Are you trying to find out how long it was out?
No? My, my, what a surprise….
But didn’t they have until Beth arrived the next night? Satish didn’t go to school..the next day..Deepak was home mornings.. Joran and Paulus..and they were sure were doing some weird things that night,.. Like Paulus looking up drugs, alcohol and the effects on young people, including lawyers. Paulus was friend with Straten. Also was said he was involved in a cover up before..
ok was interesting watching the 2 guys just now talking about going to Aruba right off..and Straten telling them how can I arrest my best friends son..and Joran is my godson… and cover up..and the strange things at school..Cops wouldn’t answer nothing and told them the Aruban tourism was in charge of investigating Natalee’s case.. What a cuckoooooooooo place!
This was taken from Gretawire:
Joran Re-arrest?
Natalee Holloway?s family’s lawyer has called for the re-arrest of Joran van der Sloot and his alleged accomplices, the Kalpoe brothers, and Van der Sloot’s father after his recent interview with ‘On the Record’. Will Aruba officials act?
(end of selection)
Obviously the lawyer is speaking for the family.
One wonders what is putting the Kalpoes back in the spotlight, since Joran said they weren’t involved. We’re not going to start doubting Joran, now, are we?
(My OWN belief has always been that it’s clear as crystal that they were involved … as the existence of a common alibi, that they dropped Natalee off at her hotel and two security guards came and got her, would seem to imply.
Of course, that’s not clear enough for Aruba.)
The only thing good from this is it might hurt the Kalpoe’s lawsuit. I hope so. Those slim should never make a cent on Natalee’s tragedy.
This may also be a way for Joran to hurt the family even more if that is possible. He most likely blames them for his sucky life.
Don’t listen to him ever again Beth and Dave. Turn him off.
BTW…I believe as Jug. The only ones that could cover up so well is the police and their boats. Take it to the bank and dismiss that little piss pot NOW and FOREVER!!
Boycott Aruba…It Blows
#36- Richard— I completely agree that the Kalpoes are/WERE involved in Natalee’s demise—at a minimum—those scumbags raped her.
Also, it is glaringly obvious that they ALSO know the ANSWERS. Just as Beth Holloway said at the very begginning when she was still in Aruba searching for her Daughter—there are 3 young men who know EXACTLY what happened to Natalee—they hold the key.
I could never understand why they haven’t already tried to bribe or extort money from that lovely Van Der Sloot family. Seeing as how Paulus is so corrupt and has many ties with other corrupt Aruban Officials/Cronies—seems absurd to me that the Kalpoes have not tried to blackmail Paulus/Joran since they hold onto pertinent and incriminating information. They know. They are slimy also…perhaps they have already received monies behind the scenes to continue to keep their mouths shut.
I don’t understand why no one has tried to break them, either. Maybe DeVries should go undercover after them next. They are guilty as hell, IMO—just like the Sociopath Joran and his aiding/abetting covering up-for-his-Son’s Crime scumbag Father who completely impeded the BOGUS investigation from the start.
Will the real truth ever be revealed? As many have posted on here—the media is also lowering their standards immensely by allowing Joran to continue to spin his venom on the airwaves. Honest to God ( I know this is horrible to say) but if I were Dave or Beth Holloway at this point—it would have taken every ounce of my decency NOT to hire a hit man to put a cap in his arse! Every time he opens his mouth and comes up with more disgusting lies and fabricated stories—-it must be so hard for the Holloway’s to hold their composure.
—-JUSTICE FOR NATALEE ANN HOLLOWAY ————-
***BOYCOTT THAT ONE STINKING HELL HOLE OF AN ISLAND AND DON’T SEND YOUR CHILDREN/TEENAGERS TO VACATION THERE—CHANCES ARE THEY WON’T COME BACK ALIVE !! **********
Richard you are RIGHT. All we have is SPECULATION. We don’t even know if Natalee is dead or alive. The sad part is I don’t think we will EVER know.
anewgirl, Only lowlifes and people with NO morals would talk about a “HIT MAN “. Believe me that is NOT on Beth and Dave’s mind. They have class.
Greta gives this piece of S*** air time??
We all know he also got paid for that interview. What a waste of money.
IMO, Greta should have just taken her money back and let him roth in thailand or where ever he is. Soon his day will come. What he is doing now is just looking foor attention and Ole Ratings seeker Greta gives him Good Old American Air time. WAYYYY TO GO!
ANewGirl (#38) … How do we know they aren’t being paid off, by the van der Scums or someone else?
I am convinced that they are complicit in Natalee’s fate. My ideas on what that fate was need no repetition.
#41 Gab…I totally disagree with you….this interview might put Joran behind bars….so don’t shoot the messenger Gab!
I am so glad Greta had this interview with him.
Let him shoot himself in the foot… he keeps incriminating himself with his big mouth!
Who gives a ioda if he was paid or not for the interview… that means NOTHING!
Why would Joran come forward and admit to human trafficing…that doesn’t even make sense….the only reason would be money, he is not going to put himself in jail, as he called in 8 hours later and said he was lying…something he is accustomed to doing…
remember this?
“”One of three young men who took Alabama student Natalee Holloway to the beach in Aruba tells police the 18-year-old American had been harmed. An Aruban police official said the man was leading police to the scene.”VAN DER STRAATEN
“Natalee’s body has been found.” FOX News. VAN DER STRAATEN
#31 Richard
One of three things is for sure.
#1 J2K did a perfect job of getting rid of Natalee’s body and shoes,clothes and Driver license .
#2 ALE did a good job of disposing of evidence.
#3 They SOLD HER so there was no evidence to dispose of.
BOYCOTT ARUBA UNTIL NATALEE GETS JUSTICE.
BTW,I hope our recession drives their economy into a Depression. If we go into a depression may they have to eat grass and tree bark.
FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT NATALEE WENT MISSING, I TOLD MY HUSBAND ROBERT THAT I HAD A DREAM THAT NATALEE WAS ALIVE, BUT COLD. I TOLD HER THAT IN MY DREAM I HAD SEEN HER EITHER IN COLOMBIA OR VENEZUELA, ( I’VE NEVER BEEN TO EITHER ONE OF THOSE CONTRIES. I SAW HER DRUGGED AND IN A COOLER LIKE ROOM. LAST NIGHT I SAW THE MOVIE TAKEN AND ALL MY GOD I STARTED SCREAMING WHEN I SAW THE GIRLS DRUGGED IN THE MOVIE…I COULD NOT BELIVE MY EYES JUST LIKE MY DREAM, THE ONLY THING IS THAT SHE IS KEPT IN A COOLER. I WISH I COULD TELL YOU MORE….I AM JUST A NORMAL PERSONAL THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON HAD THE DREAM OF NATALIE.
PLEASE GOD LET HER COME BACK TO HER FAMILY EVEN AFTER ALL THIS YEARS…I STILL HAVE THAT FEELING SHE WILL RETURN….GOD BLESS HER AND HER FAMILY
