That is an interesting comment.
If nothing else, it shows Deepak isn't sure she can't be found. It also shows Deepak thinks or wants listening ears to think Joran is guilty. He's got my agreement on that one.
I agree. it points the finger at Joran. Otherwise, wouldn't Joran have respond with a 'not just me' or 'you were there, too"? Instead he follows up with a comment regarding Satish running over a girl.
We don't know if Satish hit Natalee that night with the car or some other girl from another time. Joran may have some dirt on Satish from a previous incident. Maybe that's why he said Satish picked him up at the beach - thinking Satish will cover for him?
That's the way it hit me, too. Like he's unsure of Paulus's remark, "no body, no murder.."
