I am reminded by pm that it looks like the scenario described by C Croes early on occured well after midnite. Does joran say what time paulus or deepak called him at the casino?

Here is the full Croes interview posted in easily readable font:

here is what imaketypos pointed out.....it appears Croes was busy as a result of his major friend, and later as a result of the kids on the beach:

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: About what time did he call you?

C. CROES: He called me at 11:30.

I then spoke to him, and I said, "Would you kindly lead us to his home? Do you know where he lives?" And he said, "Sure." And he got in our car. And we went over to the house.
VAN SUSTEREN: So you drove over to the Van der Sloot home. And any idea about what time you arrived there?
C. CROES: Close to 3:00.

. CROES: What happened next was that, in the interim of doing that, we had notified the family that we had found a house. Then they asked us to meet them at the police station. So we went back over to the police station.

VAN SUSTEREN: About how far is the police station from the Van der Sloot house?

C. CROES: Actually very close.

VAN SUSTEREN: So what did do you next? What time did you leave the police station about?

C. CROES: Some time between 2:40, 2:30, 2:45… at that time.

VAN SUSTEREN: A.M.?

C. CROES: Yes.

Excellent. Don't you think it was very odd that Joran is out at the casino this time of the morning on a school night?

Croes doesn't have to mention Deepak. They had been to the Holiday Inn Casino...people there know Joran. They had been to CnC's...people there know Joran and Deepak. Croes had talked to kids around Joran's age anyone of which could have known about Joran and Deepak from Joran's discussions at school earlier that day. Bottom line...a lot of people on that small island knew Beth and Jug were there asking quesions BEFORE Deepak called Joran.
