“Hang him, that’s it.” “Then we’re done. But this will not give Natalee back”. Yes, those were the words uttered by Anita Van der Sloot in an interview with CBS, The Early Show.
Today Joran Van der Sloot will learn whether he will remain in custody for another 30 days or be sent home in the case of missing teen, Natalee Holloway. Natalee’s parents have always felt that Joran Van der Sloot had something to do with their daughter’s disappearance while Joran’s parents claim his innocence.
Her parents are convinced he had something to do with her disappearance, and want him held.
But his parents say they’re counting the days until they can take him home.
“We believe in his innocence, not only because it is not proven that he is guilty, but because he is innocent,” says Joran’s father, Paul van der Sloot, a one-time judge in training.

Two levees broke and sent water coursing into the streets of the Big Easy a full day after New Orleans appeared to have escaped widespread destruction from Hurricane Katrina. An estimated 80 percent of the below-sea-level city was under water, up to 20 feet deep in places, with miles and miles of homes swamped.

A judge will decide Wednesday whether to prolong detention or release a Dutch suspect held for nearly three months in the disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, a defense lawyer said Tuesday.
Joran van der Sloot, 18, was arrested June 9 along with two friends, Surinamese nationals Satish Kalpoe, 18, and Deepak Kalpoe, 21, on suspicion of involvement in her disappearance. The Kalpoe brothers were released July 4, when van der Sloot’s detention was prolonged until Sept. 4, and rearrested last week.
