Drugs are a problem there and he may have suspected that Joran had given her some, so he lies to help his friend cover it.

The Kalpoes may also have supplied Joran with the date rape drug, hence their motive for supporting his story, at least early on.

I heard a detective on TV say today that if a date rape drug was used on Natalee, they may be opening up another crime scene--the place where the drug was administered. I am assuming this means Carlos&Charlie's.
