Greta came on with blockbuster development. Twitty's attorney, John Q. Kelly, apparently had the moves of the Vandersloots under extreme scrutiny. The Vandersloot parents had flown to NYC for an interview with ABC .. Joran was en route from the Netherlands to NYC to meet with them.
Kelly had a former law enforcement official seated 3 seats in front of Joran on the plane, and when they were on American soil and were about to deplane, he served papers on Joran for 3 counts. Simultaneously, the Vandersloot parents were served in NYC ... the father charged with 1 count.
Greta says the intrigue is worth of James Bond, and this unusual service is amazing .. she's not spoken with Beth Twitty. Will have more tonight on her show.
Didn't see any evidence this was posted .. was announced about 40 mins. ago.
Didn't see any evidence this was posted when I searched keywords .. pull if it was.
Thanks ;)
Trial/crime ping list!
If you want ON or OFF the Trial Ping list, please Freepmail me.
Will the US arrest the Vandersloot's and keep them in custody?
OH MY GOODNESS!
Great catch!
And the best part? It's ALL on tape!
Oh my
Ping!
I bet not....once the leave the US they will never return....
Since the crime didn't occur on US soil, that's a puzzle, from what Greta was wondering. But, at least they are officially charged in America .. stranger things have happened with criminals.
3 counts of what?
FINALLY!!!!!
Can't remember exactly what the dad's one count is .. I know that one of Joran's three counts had something to do with Natalee being a minor .. but it was really fast and furious when Greta was explaining these developments.
Whoo hoo!!
Oh - THOSE Vandersloots!
ping list please, Howlin?
He's the attorney who got the civil case settlement from OJ for the Browns for Nicole's slaughter.

COSBY: Jossy, stick with us. I want to bring in John. And John, let me put up again on the screenthese are the questions that weve been told that are going to be focused on with these kids. Again, its Alabama students and their actions on May 30. The students have been asked about new Aruban names that they may not have heard before. Theyve been asked to describe people who may have been at Carlos and Charlies the night that Natalee vanished. And theyve also been shown photos of people at the bar that night. What do you make of this line of questioning?
JOHN Q. KELLY, NATALEES FAMILYS ATTORNEY: It Fishut2appears theyre trying to eliminate other potential suspects, other than the three main suspects all along, Joran and the Kalpoe brothers. If theyre giving descriptions, showing photographs or running names by these girls, I think its to try to determine whether there was possibly anybody else that might have potentially been involved in Natalees disappearance.
COSBY: Does it also look like maybe just eyewitnesses, or do you think it may be to the degree, John, that theyre looking at other potential suspects?
KELLY: Well, I know theyve always indicated that they had to run every lead down and that, you know, we shouldnt always just be focused on the three young men, which I dont agree with. I Satish_joran_depak_200182mean, these are the three boys that took her in the car and were the last ones with her and admitted to it, and the conduct they engaged in.
But you know, IRita, I want to be very careful here. Im supportive of the Aruban government and their investigation. Im glad theyre acting on certain things now. But you know, quite frankly, as two of months ago, they had already planned to search the sand dunes with the cadaver dogs. And as of a couple months ago or even longer, they were already going to interview the Mountain Brook girls.
And I just dont want raised expectations here. I dont necessarily like hearing that its all new, fresh information thats leading to the lighthouse search or the questioning of the Mountain Brook people. These were planned long ago. And you know, Im a little bit skeptical. And weve been on roller-coasters before, and I dont want raised expectations for the family, at this point.
COSBY: Oh, you bet. And who knows? And of course, we all pray that this would be resolved, but maybe we are just getting our hopes up. What aboutwhat about also the search at the sand dunes? Because I understand, John, in the last few days, they have beenthere has been some activity there, right? What are you hearing?
KELLY: Well, they went out there. This has been planned for a while. Theyre using metal probes to push into the sand and turn the sand over. And once thats completed, they want to bring the cadaver dogs in right afterwards, while the sand has been freshly turned over. That way, even if they dont locate any objects or a body, the scent would be fresh on the surface there and the dogs might be able to pick it up.
COSBY: And do we have any idea when the dogs are going to arrive, John?
KELLY: Im expecting this within the next week. I even heardI wasnt able to confirm thisthat a couple days ago, they were even there with the police helicopter hovering right above the sand, trying to turn it over and churn it a little bit to sort of freshen up and release any potential scents or something that the dogs might be able to pick up.
NO WAY!?
Sorry Howlin. I thought I hit private reply. :(
