Investigators sent both Sloot vehicles to their lab in Holland for extensive forensic tests.
I'm thinking the results of those tests have come back, and are part of the reason why Van der Sloot the Elder will be sitting in jail for at least two more days.
Was Natalee in Paulus's vehicle? Did they find her hair, fibers, DNA? Is this the vehicle in which the body was transported to the dock to be taken out to sea?
The Kalpoe boys may be telling the truth. When Joran called them for assistance, after the beach incident, maybe they refused, and so Joran had to call his father for help.
This could explain that look on Beth's face and the way she was walking/moving when she left the VDS's. She seemed really "out-of-it" ... nothing at all like she acted when she got there. The expression on her face was one of deep sadness and it was like her mind was really in a wirlwind.
Yes, it is, so they are saying on CTV.
" Then along comes Greta...the woman (the Mom) obviously has reached a point where she needs to talk about it and come to terms with what's happened.""
I think the Mom of Juran is totally devasted by what has happened. I agree with your post. It would be very difficult to imagine your son and husband, would have done such a horrible thing. The awful possibility seems to be hitting her like a ton of bricks. I think she told the AP Service - "I don't know what to think." - or something similar to that.
This whole thing is such a horrible tragedy for Natalee and her family. I can't even imagine what they've been going thru these past weeks. Beth looked so worn out tonight. She said she could hardly get out of bed this past morning. She has said the prayers and emails of so many people were helping her to get through this. She is truly a very special person.
Prayers for Natalee and her family.
Sounds very plausible. Where were his 2 younger brothers during all this toing and froing? With their mother or asleep at home? Has anyone asked them about their brother's coming and going? Was Joran a HS junior or senior, and if the latter, did he attend graduation ceremony?
My bet, also.

Here is a picture I took off the TV tonight. The mother verified who's who's in the picture on Greta's show. The Aruba Today (Tito) reporter had it wrong yesterday, and I can see why as Satish is taller and older looking than his older brother Deepak in this picture.
I thought it was interesting that Deepak keeps "his" silver car at home and that Satish drives it every night to pick up Deepak from work.
Court Tv posters are great. I've been posting there for years.
That's correct, all they said was that it might be saliva or "something."
I didn't notice that about her when she left. I saw something different...I thought it was as if she had grabbed hold of something in that visit, she'd been looking for.
It's all so terrible for all those families involved. My heart and prayers goes out to everyone of them that's involved in this tragic happening.
Hoping our Texas Search Team are able to find Natalee~~~alive!!!
Me, too! :-)
Riehl World - Two Observations
One is a personal observation I am only posting after seeing the interview with Mrs. Kalpoe tonight on Fox. I can remember when this all started and I was reviewing the boy's websites.
Just as Joran's website was noteworthy for a significant number of pictures from partying and the clubs, casinos, etc. .. the site of Satish was the opposite.
I remember pictures from field trips, archeological sites, art and so forth - I was genuinely struck by the difference in the two boys. That doesn't mean anything as far as guilt, or innocence, but it was a genuine observation.
The second observation will sound like gossip, which basically, it is - please take that into account. If it didn't come through an extremely reliable source on the island, I would not mention it at all.
In talking with an adult professional from Aruba who knew Joran, the individual stated that Joran often bragged to him of his many "sexual conquests" resulting from the use of an illicit substance slipped into a woman's drink and the Aruban individual suggested Joran was a "psychopath."
I doubt that the source of these statements is a certified psychologist, but if he is repeating these types of statements to individuals in and around the investigation, it will likely come out and be proven or disproven in any potential trial. And noone should be considered guilty of anything without one.
Really, wow~!!! :) I've mostly been here since I signed up with FreeRepublic. I'll have to go back to CTV and see what's going on. Did you ever post on the Politics board there?
hi dan, have been keeping up with your blog along the way and have to say thank you so much for all that you are doing to get the word about about natalee holoway. i am a native birminghamian (having grown up in mountain brook), now living in new york city. since it seems as though so few people from birmingham are talking i wanted to make your readers aware of some of the latest buzz going around the "tiny kingdom"...hope some of this helps...
our family has a tailor in birmingham - who is known by nearly everyone who's anyone in birmingham, a sort of "tailor of birmingham." as he dresses most of the affluent residents - from the infamous richard scrushy to the pastor of briarwood church (one of the largest churches in the US). he is the eyes and ears and a great source of information....
my uncle was in the tailor's shop earlier this week and got into a discussion about natalee holloway with in which the tailor told my uncle that the mayor of birmingham, who had also been by the shop earlier, informed him that the holloway family has already paid a ransom to natalee's captors, but has yet to receive her, although they are confident that officials are working to get her back very, very soon. this tailor's brother in law is originally from suriname (where the suspect brothers are from) and says that the island is a notorious port through which women are kidnapped and then shipped off to such far eastern locales as bankok and indonesia. being a native of suriname, he feels quite confident that this is exactly what happened to natalee and she is still alive.
you may already know most of this and i'm sure you have loads of emails to answer, but i thought i'd pass along whatever tips i have. i praise God for people like you who are working so hard to get the truth out. may God continue to bless you in your efforts. congrats on all of your great press thus far and please continue to keep us posted.

I dont know if the two younger Van der Sloots were on the trip to Holland or not. If they were home...well, maybe they are sound sleepers.
Joran did take his final exams and graduate before his arrest.
Wonder where these boys are?
Thanks. I've been in and out a lot and am just now catching up on details.
You know what's so funny about that? I was going to mention to you tonight that I think Beth Holloway is the person to listen to for what is coming up in this case because she's been right about everything so far.
And I heard either she or her sister this night saying that they thought she was alive and that "they are moving her around from place to place."
Did anybody else hear that?
