Natalee Holloway Missing in Aruba: John Q. Kelly on Geraldo at Large (2/24/08) … “I think they could arrest Joran Van der Sloot and prosecute him on a circumstantial case

John Q Kelly … Joran Van der Sloot has something to hide.

“… but one of them has to be true because we’ve never found her and you don’t dispose of a body, you don’t help in locating the person when you’re the last one with her unless you have something to hide. I think he was fearful that an autopsy if she was found would show there was something in her system.”

Geraldo At Large: February 24, 2008, Guest: John Q. Kelly (read the transcript)

Geraldo: John, first of all you’ve got the Joran Van der Sloot situation. He confesses on tape, how strong is the case against him?

John Q. Kelly: I think they have a very strong case Geraldo.

He goes to Carlos & Charlie’s a half hour before closing. He buys Natalee a drink, he takes it from the bartender, he walks over to her hands her the drink, stands there, she finishes the drink. Within 20 minutes she’s incoherent, she’s lapsing in and out of consciousness.

Natalee Holloway: John Q. Kelly On the Record … Civil Case & Where is the Missing Statements from Joran Van der Sloot ( Aruba Cover up & Corruption)

 ARUBAN COVER UP AND CORRUPTION … WHERE IS JORAN VAN DER SLOOT’S 5/31/05 WITNESS STATEMENT?

John Q. Kelly briefly discusses the Dutch reporting of a civil case possible being brought against Joran Van der Sloot by the parents of missing Natalee Holloway. At the moment it appears to be a non-story as Beth Holloway has had no conversations with the attorney in question.

However, the real question that has to be answered is what part did the Aruban police take in the cover up, corruption and destruction of documents and evidence in the case of Natalee Holloway. If they covered up and destroyed the initial witness statement, what else did they subsequently destroy as well? Possibly evidence taken from Deepak’s car? Once one questions police actions … all of their actions come under scrutiny.

Since the beginning of the investigation Beth Holloway had made references to a crumpled up piece of paper on that looked like a statement that was on the desk at the police station when she spoke with the ALE discussing her Natalee’s disappearance. Scared Monkeys has always questioned why there would have been no statement from Joran Van der Sloot, yet everyone else had been questioned at the outset. Are we really supposed to believe that no witness statement existed from the #1 prime suspect, Joran Van der Sloot, who was last seen with Natalee Holloway until 6/9/05.

The very same witness statement that Joran van der Sloot actually references in his own book. The very same witness statement that most likely gives rise to a confession and admission of guilt and where the ALE knew to ask questions of seizures.

Greta: He must have told the police that first time he spoke with them because why would they have asked Jug about the shaking and the epilepsy type seizures or something? I think to myself, what are the Aruban police up to? But that is for another day.

John Q. Kelly: May 31st Joran was the first person interviewed by Jacobs who was taking statements. Every police report subsequent to that. The statements made by Deepak, made by Satish, made by Beth that day we have them all. There is no statement from Joran until June 9th.

Greta: Something is funny. Something is not quite right. I would like to see our State Department get a little busy on this one. (Fox: On The Record 2/20/08)

Then there is this bit of information from Joran Van der Sloot’s book (translation) … “It is already 4 PM in the afternoon when I sign my witness statement and my father and I leave the interrogation room.”

Oh, I guess Joran Van der Sloot is lying here too?

WHAT WITNESS STATEMENT? NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN SUCH A STATEMENT! WHAT HAPPENED TO IT AND WHERE IS IT? WAS IT DESTROYED BY THE ARUBAN POLICE?

Interestingly enough we seem to have most, if not all the witness and suspect statements (HERE) from the initial parts of the investigation. All, but Joran Van der Sloot’s 5/31/05 statement that is in question. The very same one that probably tipped off the Aruban police to ask Beth Holloway and Jug Twitty about whether Natalee Holloway had a history of seizures.

From Page 111 of Joran’s book:

Tuesday May 31st 2005

Joran rides bus to school, takes exam, visits with principal Werner and sleeps in sick bay.

Paul calls school at 10:30am. Jan van der Straten wants Joran to give a voluntary witness statement, since the family was creating quite some noise.

Paul meets with principal, then he and Joran head to Bubali Station.

Joran calls Deepak who says, “stick to our story, the police has also phoned Satish and me and asked us to come.”

Decision regarding Joran van der Sloot’s arrest postponed until Wednesday

From Dutch news:

http://www.nu.nl/news/1431239/10/Beslissing_arrestatie_Joran_uitgesteld.html

Aruban OM says the decision about arresting Joran will not be made until wednesday. The courts gave Jorans attorney until wednesday to make his “vision”about the case clear.

UPDATE I: John Q. Kelly on Fox - How much more of a confession do they need to arrest Joran van der Sloot?

Aruban Prosecutor Mos & Officials Gutless … Release Suspects and Now Want to Close Case of Natalee Holloway without Prosecution

First the Kalpoe brothers were released, then suspect Joran Van der Sloot was released. Now Aruban prosecutor Mos states that he will close the case in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway by years end. The cruel and despicable actions of Aruba continue against the family of Natalee Holloway. Why would anyone continue to drag a family through this horrendous nightmare and provide false hope?

Attorney John Q. Kelly of New York said he expects an announcement later this month that there will be no prosecution of van der Sloot or the other two suspects, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, who were released Dec. 1. Kelly represents Beth Holloway and Dave Holloway.

“The report of significant new incriminating evidence was misleading,” Kelly said. “It was the same evidence or lack of evidence they had from the very beginning.”

Kelly said his clients would not comment on van der Sloot’s release. Telephone messages left Friday with the Holloways were not returned.

Authorities re-arrested van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers Nov. 21 after finding what they described as “new incriminating evidence” in Natalee Holloway’s disappearance.

“It’s all a dog and pony show,” Kelly said. “I guess they thought it would be good PR to show they were still working on the case. But it amplifies the fact that they mishandled it from the beginning and continue to mishandle it.” (AL.com)

After all this build up, claims of new evidence and re-arrests, Aruban prosecutor states, “he will close the case of missing American teenager Natalee Holloway by the end of the month unless his office finds that there is enough evidence to charge someone with a major crime”.

 The prosecutor, Hans Mos, said he would not comment about the kind of evidence his office is reviewing but that he does not anticipate finding Holloway’s remains and prosecuting a case without them would be “very hard.”

“We promised the suspects that after Dec. 31, we will not pursue the case,” Mos told The Associated Press Friday. “This investigation should end at a certain point.”

You sick and pathetic gutless examples of human beings … your job is to prosecute crimes. Not give up. Your job is also to prosecute suspects for what ever crimes you can, no matter if it is murder, manslaughter, rape or kidnapping.

NATALEE DA: NO BODY, NO CASE

The major crime was committed by all in Aruba that purposely botched this case. It is criminal that prosecutors will not even do their job.

Aruban authorities say they will officially close the Natalee Holloway case by Dec. 31 unless they find evidence that a “major crime” was committed.

Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, Welcome to America: Judge Give Dr Phil & CBS Access to the Natalee Holloway File

Let us first start out by saying, thank you Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. Don’t ask for things they might just come true. You successfully made it possible for there to be US jurisdiction in this case. Greed is always the inevitable downfall.

Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, welcome to the United States judicial system. The two should have left well enough alone and thanked their lucky stars that the Aruban/Dutch legal and investigation system ran cover for them in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. However, in so many case this is another example of pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.

Welcome to the deep end of the pool where the big boys play. The Kalpoes brought a defamation case against Dr. Phil in search of riches and now have exactly what so many of us had prayed for … an opportunity to expose all of what went on in Aruba with regards to the files for the investigation and legal proceedings.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Edward A. Ferns ruled that the lawyers for CBS TV and The Dr Phil Show can have access to the Natalee Holloway files.

Lawyers for CBS Television and “Dr. Phil” McGraw can have access to e-mails and Aruban documents about two brothers arrested, then released, in the disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, according to a ruling obtained Wednesday.

Deepak and Satish Kalpoe allege they were defamed in a Sept. 15, 2005, “Dr. Phil” show during which it was alleged that they gave Holloway a date-rape drug and had non-consensual group sex with her. The episode also implied the siblings helped kill Holloway and dispose of her body, according to court papers.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Edward A. Ferns issued a 12-page ruling Friday that upheld the tentative ruling he reached in favor of CBS and the celebrity doctor before he took the case under submission Aug. 30. (CBS)

The Kalpoe’s thought that this case would never get to court and that they would settle for millions. Hey Deepak and Satish … You are not in Aruba anymore. The trap has been set and the bait was taken.

Natalee Holloway Investigation: Jossy Mansur and John Q. Kelly … On the Record

 GRETA ON THE RECORD FOX NEWS NATALEE HOLLOWAY CASE

“I agree totally but there has never, at least at this point any suggestion that Natalee was inside that home and so absent a seizure of physical evidence or some clue so simply looking around you might as well look in anyones house”. (Greta Van Susteren) 

Well Greta, maybe that is going to happen. With all the lies that these three suspects have made who is to say that Natalee Holloway was not at the Kalpoe residence or any of the other friends of Joran, Deepak or Satish?

Natalee Holloway: John Q. Kelly Goes Back to Aruba as Karin Janssen Leaves Aruba

On the Record last night was billed as “New Developments in the Natalee Holloway Case”. For the life of me other than John Q. Kelly going to Aruba and talking to Karin Janssen before she departed to Holland and possibly talking to the new Prosecutor we are not sure what the “new developments” were. Were any mentioned? Anybody?

Attorney John Q. Kelly made some interesting comments regarding the fact that “the powers that be” we not going to allow Karin Janssen to finish the job even though she claims she wanted to. Does it make sense to change a prosecutor now so far into the case? Or will new blood some how make a difference?

• “she had made a request in writing, very much wanted to stay there, see this investigation through and she was told her term was going to be halted three years and she’d be returning to Amsterdam and she couldn’t see this through.”
• she was upset about that. She — and I was glad to hear, wanted to stay on this case and see it to some sort of conclusion and they wouldn’t let her.

It was already known that Karin Janssen was stepping down as the Prosecutor in Aruba as her term was not renewed. One thing is for certain; Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe remain the primary focus and primary suspects. Read last night’s transcript from “On the Record.”

Has The Trap Been Sprung On The Kalpoe Brothers?

Has greed done its job on the Kalpoe brothers, leading them into the trap with the delicious smell of unearned gains (a trend or character defect?). Our Vanderbilt thinks so with his latest cartoon. My guess, so do the Holloway and Twitty Families along with their attorney John Q. Kelly.

Beth Twitty,Mother Of Natalee Holloway ‘Crushed’ By N.Y. Case Dismissal

According to the  Boston Herald, Beth Twitty took the news of the dismissal by the NYC judge rather badly. That is  to be expected. Even though Beth and Dave knew that this attempt to bring Joran and Paulus Van der Sloot to justice was a long shot, the fact of the matter is everything has been an obstacle and long shot for this poor family who just want answers. “That was our only and last shot for justice,” said Beth Twitty, mother of Natalee Holloway.

Twitty said she knew the case filed in New York State Supreme Court against Joran van der Sloot was a long shot, but the family took a chance.

“Until you hear that door closed you hang onto hope,” Twitty said.

It is obvious that this is a set back for the family, but hardly their last option. The Holloway’s and Twitty’s stunned by the ruling as  the Van der Sloot attorney, Joe Tacopina, was doing his best spinning and misrepresentation of what the NYC judge actually stated. Attorney Tacopina, this was a procedural ruling and you know it. Guilt or innocence or the fact of the case were not decided upon.

“We were never afraid of the facts in this case,” Tacopina said Thursday when the case was dismissed. “He did nothing to this girl. … He’s trying to get on with his life.”

Get on with his life? You mean like Natalee Holloway will be doing? Or how about Imette St Guillen, Attorney Tacopina? Will she be getting on with her life either? Exactly how are you defending the St. Guillen family when you and your staff have made contradictory statements questioning Natalee Holloway that fateful night she left Carlos N’ Chariles? I spoke with Beth Twitty briefly today as well to discuss the decision and what some of the next moves would be. Obviously she was still upset from yesterdays ruling, but doing better today. I said to Beth that if it was any consolation just remember that this was strictly a procedural ruling and any thinking person could see it could have gone either way. It had nothing to do with innocence, guilt or taking Joran off the suspect list, no matter what Joe Tacopina may rant.

Joran Van der Sloot is still a primary suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. That is why Tacopina protests so much. He knows the truth, even though he spins quite a different tale on the cable shows. It is obvious that Team Tacopina fear the facts as they would squelch procedurally any type of trial held in the United States.
