Michelle Kasinski (sp?) on MSNBC is standing in front of the pond. Says it will take all day to drain.
Footage of Joran seems to only be of the back of his head.
The court says there is something wrong with the taking of the samples. It wasn't done properly. There was something wrong legally.
The gardener was driving through the field (taking a shortcut) to the dirt road. Deepak's car was blocking the road.
UPDATE 38 : Aruban officials began draining a pond Tuesday night in the search for Natalee Holloway. The pond was near the Aruban Raquet Club and is where two brothers said they dropped her and Joran van der Sloot off on May 30th. An eyewitness came forward and reported that he saw the car of Deepak Kalpoe stationed near the pond. According to the witness Satish Kalpoe and Joran van der Sloot were present as well the night he saw them there. The eyewitness reported that he saw Joran sitting behind the wheel. Most people find this strange because the mother of Deepak reported various times that Deepak treated his car like his girlfriend and wouldn’t let anyone drive it (expect for his brother). Most times he wouldn’t even take his car to work because he did not want it to get scratched while parked. According to AweMeinta it will take between 24 to 72 hours to drain the whole pond. Meanwhile, the 18-year-old's mother has announced a $1 million reward for her daughter's safe return. Beth Holloway Twitty made the announcement yesterday that the reward from $200,000 has been raised. There is also $100,000 reward in place for information leading to Holloway's remains
I find it interesting that the person eligible for receiving the million dollar reward will be given anonymity. There must be a lot of fear on that island to shield a person in this way.
