Surinamese Deepak Kalpoe, 21, arrives to court in Oranjestad, Aruba, Friday, Aug. 26, 2005. Aruban police arrested Kalpoe and his brother Satish, 18, along with a third person according to government spokesman Ruben Trapenberg, saying he doesn't know if the arrests are connected to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The two brothers had been previously detained and released. (AP Photo/Pedro Famous Diaz)

Two Surinamese brothers, Satish and Deepak Kalpoe, who had been detained and released in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway were arrested again Friday based on new evidence, officials said. The brothers were detained on suspicion of involvement, with unidentified 'other people,' in premeditated murder and rape, the prosecutor's office said. Person to the right is unidentified.

Can I jump in on this one? As far as I am concerned, Paulus and Anita are nothing more than your typical 'enlightened' Eurotrash couple who give free rein to their children while setting poor examples themselves. I have no doubt whatsoever that both parents are aware of what Joran has done...they just don't think he should be punished for it. They are able to 'justify' non-punishment because the punishment of their 'child' will not bring another's child back. Remember...the Dutch are 'enlightened'. Americans, as seen by the Dutch...why, we are foolish cowboys (sarcasm on) who just can't wait for some romantic interlude away from home with some Euro 'sporter' like Joran.(/sarcasm off) Sheesh...those people are disgusting.
Boycott Aruba Now.
Boycott Aruba Now.
Hey TL...how's things going?
Hey DS...just very disappointed in the ruling yesterday. Not surprised, but disappointed. I see no legal justice ahead in this case. I don't think they ever intended to truly investigate this matter. The 2 year time frame will mean nothing. Once again One Happy Island can make their false claims of "No evidence, No crime in Aruba". It wouldn't surprise me to see the Dutch/Aruban law changed so that no crimes are officially investigated during the first ten days of the commission of the crime.
The only justice that will be had in this matter will come from a higher power. Ten days don't mean squat to Him.
MAWG, I agree 100%. BOYCOTT ARUBA!!
Thanks... this is terrific.. will do today and get several associates to do the same...
I have been out of the country so I have missed everyone.. once I have cleared off this desk.. will be back..

Oh, just heartsick over this. I am just amazed by the arrogance in Aruba.
Boycott, indeed.
DS - Okay, lawyers are dull. Probably why I never went past the LSAT. But, I'm pretty sure their pay is directly equated with their skill, although that wouldn't apply to Buckets. How did he make duge in training without being a litigator? Never mind. We're talking Eurostuff.
truthie, I think you're right about the parents, if I may loosely refer to them in that way. Someone upthread said they felt NH was filmed in JVDS' room, and I think so, too. What's more, I think Beth knows it.
And Dark, I think the Posner angle makes sense if you allow that Buckets may not be the dullard you imagine. We know he likes to gamble...why not spice it up by gambling with people? He seems pretty well protected, thus far!
Did anyone catch Dr. Phil? Anything new? Were any details released about Natalee being in the PVDS house? I tend to agree with those that say Paul took a turn with Natalee and perhaps finished her off / got rid of her body. He has been fighting to protect himself as well as his son. Yes, addiction to danger / risk is a strong perverse motivator and people that play with it tend to get worse and worse.
Isn't Dr. Phil on tonight, no wait! I think it's at 3:00 p.m. - and me without a t.v. at the office.
Do you remember that snippet of movie trivia?
Check out Dr. Phil's site for all the teasers.

My husband and I honeymooned in Aruba 23 years ago and even stayed at the Holiday Inn International which I believe is the same hotel where Natalee had been staying. It has always been near and dear to our hearts and we were planning a return there one day but NEVER AGAIN!
We are sick about this for that family and even moreso that fellow human beings are so corrupt, unthinking and uncaring. I kept saying to hubby they can't take away our wonderful honeymoon all those years ago but this has really done a number and I'll never think of it in the same way now. How can I?
I can think of only one reason for Americans to ever set foot in Aruba again. "Two eyes for an eye" - Joe M.
He is just an excitable boy... Warren Zevon wrote a song about such... B.S."
Dr. Phil doesn't come on here until 5:00!
That is a shame about your honeymoon. I understand.And I appreciate your committment to boycott Aruba. May I suggest the El Presidente Hotel on Cozumel Island.It is a very special place. Send me your EMAIL address in private and I will be glad to send you pictures and other info. if you like.
Well, not to be a whiner, but OJ Simpson also chose our anniversary date to do his murders. I'm not making a comparison to that horrendous event or the grief of the Holloway family but just that we seem to have encountered some strange coincidences there.
Hey, at least we're lucky to have a wonderful marriage!
I sure remember that movie! Wasn't that Kevin Spacey's line?
