ORANJESTAD, Aruba For the first time, Aruban authorities on Friday detailed their suspicions in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway (search), saying they believe the Alabama teen was murdered.
Joran van der Sloot (search) and his friends Deepak and Satish Kalpoe are being held under suspicion of murder and kidnapping as well as being an accessory to murder.

That's very interesting!
MSM may have petered out...but Fox is digging in.
But, this is the *new* news, see. Up in 8 minutes, a live L.A. car chase. You won't want to miss it!
I like Greta too. She's very analytical and askes good questions. Sometimes I can't believe some of the stories she wastes her time with though. She seems like she would be a good lawyer, but here she is obssessing on these stories. It's like she should be doing more important stuff. Is this what she really wants to do?
hmm, that could be the pre-meditated part -- dad provides the drugs ahead of time. we are such sleuths.
I thought she met him at the casino.
I'm going to tell you what happened that night. Bama girl was party heavy...fairly lit up...when Dutch-boy-wonder bumps into her. The two Aruba locals....having transporation...carry Bama girl and Dutch-boy-wonder out to the beach and leave them. Bama girl and Dutch-boy-wonder have a grand time on the beach...although she is mostly drunk (and likely high by this point too)...and then she wants to walk into the water. Except Bama girl doesn't come back out of the water. Dutch-boy-wonder is sitting there on the beach...waiting...and waiting. And she never comes back out. Dutch-boy-wonder gets scared...calls dad...who comes out. Bama girl never reappears. Dad tells the boy to just shut up and everything will work out...no body...no charges. They cook up a few details and ensure that the Aruba locals tell their story. The only issue that they miss is the video camera at the hotel. As for Bama girl...a naive girl...drunk and likely high for first time in her life (at her mother portrays her as the lass of innocence).
I can say all of this because I grew up in Bama and know how stupid people really can be. If Dutch-boy-wonder keeps his mouth shut, and the father doesn't say anything...it'll be practically impossible to get a murder conviction...especially without a body. Dutch courts don't convict without facts, and in this case...there are only a handful of things you can be absolutely sure of.
What about the submarine with the white-slave trading space alien sharks?
I haven't heard of him having a car. LE sent two vehicles from the Sloot home, out to be tested. A jeep and an SUV. I'm not sure which one is 'faster'.
It's one thing for Greta to have her daily "All Crime All the Time" Hour, but I wish the other shows would give the story it's 3 minutes per hour and then move on to serious matters.
Was thinking of something like that too. Maybe she wanted to go out on the boat. The guys took her out then the boys went into the cabin to fix more potent drinks or something and while they were in there she fell off the railing of the boat and drowned or something. So when they came back she was just gone. They being young and dumb go home and say nothing cause they're scared. But what now? If you know the law or how things go down there will they just sit in jail and rot or what?
I'm not sure I'd call any of the rich. I also wouldn't call Deepak and Satish 'connected'.
finding the truth may prevent others from the same fate.
Warning young women to stay in groups and to not go off with newly met males would help, too.
Probably so. There were 3 young children missing from NY? or NJ? recently. I can't even say which state, they've had so little coverage.
Dutch law rules in this situation. Unless you have a body or a confession from someone (even the two Aruba guys might count)...this can't truely go to a Dutch court environment. If she went out to sea...I'd forget about the body element in this case. You simply have to wait for the Dutch kid or his dad to break silence. The connection of the DJ is curious...although a boat angle may be correct. After the Aruba guys dump the girl and guy off...they are out of the picture totally. You are left with the Dad (which is unclear what he did), and this DJ (another curious connection). Perhaps the girl overdosed and Dad got the DJ who has a big boat...to go and dump the body. Being a authority on Dutch law....he knows you can't convict without the body. And maybe this is what actually transpired.
Don't count on ever knowing the conclusion of the evening in question...you might as well work on the Jimmy Hoffa case if you think this case will be cracked.
You keep saying that. Do you have a source for that info? I haven't heard anyone say he has a fancy sports car. In fact, the boys were in Deepak Kalpoe's Honda the night Natalee went missing.
I think they found those kids today dead in the trunk of a car in NJ I believe. Poor little kids!
There was plenty of coverage and those three children were found dead in the trunk of a car on the property of one of the parents.
FOFLOL
But, there's no crime in Aruba! /sarcasm
