Thank you for that. I have read references to a phone call, but have not been able to pin down what it referred to (not much time to sit and concentrate around my house).
Can you point to a source which may give more background on this?
I saw an interview done by Greta of an American-sounding guy that (if memory serves) owned or managed the only cell in aruba......he seemed entirely credible to me.....I forget exactly.how he and the twittys got into contact almost immediately after their arrival on aruba......he was also involved with the activities re: JVDS/PVDS and their locations/statements during the timeframe of 24 hours after Natalee went missing......maybe there is a transcript available on gretablog?......I watched this interview live, about ten days ago.
Paul van der Sloot's Changing Story
CHARLES CROES, TALKED TO DUTCH SUSPECT: A major friend of mine called me up. He was working with Natalee's mom to help them find Natalee.
VAN SUSTEREN: Why would he call you? What is your occupation that would be a reason he would call you?
C. CROES: Well, I have a sail rental company. And there was apparently a phone call made. And he was calling me betting or hoping that the phone call was made from one of our phones, and so that's why he called me.
VAN SUSTEREN: About what time did he call you?
C. CROES: He called me at 11:30.
VAN SUSTEREN: What did he say to you?
C. CROES: He told me that he needed my help. And I asked him what it was about. And he told me that it had to do something with a cell phone. And I didn't relate it to anything but work at that point.
And then he said, "There is a possibility that a phone call was made using one of our phones." And I said, "OK." And he said, "It's very, very important." I said, "Fine," and I asked him to go into further details, and he did. And then I made arrangements to go see him.
VAN SUSTEREN:After you and Beth listened to that phone call several times and hung up with the person in the states, what did you do next?
C. CROES: After that, we spoke a while. And then we left that location with the intention of going to the Holiday Inn to continue meeting. On the way there, a young man and I were sitting in my car. And on the way there, instinctively, I wanted to go to drive off, pull over to the cabana area, just to look to see if perhaps she was there.
