ARUBA – According to Joran’s lawyer Kock, the OM has not presented new evidence against the 17-year old suspect. “As far as we know, the DNA-research didn’t prove anything. Also the forensic investigation nor the F-16’s resulted in nothing.
Joran’s lawyer explained that his client has been changing his statements due to the heavy pressure that the police exerted on him. Also the lawyers of the brothers Kalpoe indicated that the OM does not have new incriminating material. According to the lawyers, the OM did add new material, but not incriminating for his client.
Judge Pieter ter Berg came over from Curacao to hear the suspects, the OM and the lawyers. He returned to Curacao to inform two other judges in Curacao about the hearing. The verdict will be passed in Curacao and the Court will announce the decision on the appeal at 14:00 from Curacao.
ARUBA – The Texas EquuSearch searched for two weeks for the disappeared Natalee Holloway with no success. The group was supposed to leave today, but, due to some statements of Joran van der Sloot, they decided to stay a few days longer in order to conduct a last search near the Fisherman’s Huts.
The team of volunteers have searched caves, lagoons, and other locations on the island, but found no trace of the American student. Last Friday, the Florida State Divers of the Florida State University’s Underwater Crime Scene Investigation Department in Panama City assisted them in their search. With the use of very advanced tracing equipment with sensors that can be controlled remotely, the American dive team had searched for the missing girl from Friday till Tuesday, after which they left, because they couldn’t find anything. If also this last search is not successful, the group of volunteers will leave Aruba this Sunday.
Oh no.
Mr. Kock, lying by any other name is still lying.
