As first mentioned in How Did Natalee Holloway Leave Carlos and Charlies, RWV has obtained exclusive, credible information as regards events surrounding the Mountain Brook Aruba trip in general, as well as specific events at Carlos and Charlies the night of Natalee Holloway's disappearance.
Diario Editor, Jossy Mansur, tonight on Fox News stated that in earlier testimony suspect Joran Van der Sloot claimed that Deepak Kalpoe raped and murdered Natalee Holloway and buried her body near a fisherman's hut on the beach. Van der Sloot is said to have claimed he had fallen asleep with Natalee on the beach, woke up and then left. He also is reported to have alleged that Deepak Kalpoe then went back, raped and murdered the young girl.
In a report from a student in attendance on the trip, this does match with certain information gathered during my reporting. It was stated to me that Joran, far from being an antagonist, was much more laid back in his interactions with the young Americans on the trip - and it was actually Deepak Kalpoe who was much more "in your face."
As already reported, at least one confrontation on the trip the night before the group's last evening in Aruba did not involve Joran Van der Sloot and a Mountain Brook student; instead, the confrontation was between Deepak Kalpoe and a student from the Alabama high school.
In addition to that, I have been told that, as reported elsewhere, the notion that Joran Van der Sloot "hit on" Natalee twice and was rebuffed was "ridiculous." Natalee, along with some other Mountain Brook girls was rather taken with the young Dutch boy and it should have come as no surprise to anyone that they might have wound up together in some fashion at the end of the evening.
The same cannot be said for Deepak Kalpoe - in fact, just the opposite. According to a student on the trip, Deepak Kalpoe appeared to be quite attracted to the young blond girl from Alabama, who did not return the attraction and was far more interested in Joran.
Also as previously reported in story above, I've been informed that Natalee Holloway did not leave the front of Carlos and Charlies with Joran Van der Sloot, she was seen leaving with Deepak Kalpoe by, perhaps, the last known Mountain Brook student to see her alive. The report comes from one of the students inside of one of the now infamous taxi cabs into which other friends of Natalee thought she would enter to return to her hotel and safety.
While this last piece is speculative at best, based upon what I have learned, it is entirely possible that Deepak Kalpoe used Joran Van der Sloot as bait to get Natalee away from her friends. If Van der Sloot, the Kalpoes and Natalee all met up either around the corner, or on the beach, it would jibe with the information I have obtained.
Based upon gathered information speaking directly to the then existing dynamics between the young men and Natalee Holloway, I found the version of events attributed to Joran Van der Sloot and related by Jossy Mansur on Fox News tonight to be possibly the most credible version of events that night I've heard to date.
Update: Another point, as I reported here weeks ago, additional information from Aruba pointed to an eyewitness who saw both Kalpoe brothers thoroughly washing out their vehicle at a location beside their home which was termed "unusual." It was suggested the location was not the normal one they used and would help to obscure any view of their efforts from the street. This took place after their initial release from questioning and prior to their arrest.
When, based upon discussions I had with individuals close to the search party, EquuSearch sought to check the area with dogs, they were turned away by the Mother of Deepak Kalpoe.
Well it does look like things are heating up. But who can prove "He said/he said/he said", and so on?
But Deepak's mother says he's a good boy.
ARUBA – District Attorney Amelin Flanegin left for Virginia (USA) last Sunday afternoon to bring the videotapes and other information in the Holloway-case to the FBI. The defense of the suspects does not agree with this and instituted a lawsuit against it.
Also a member of the RTS and a member of the OM went to the US. The FBI will pore over the material in the presence of the Aruban delegation. The FBI hopes that their experts can shed a different light on the case. Flanegin will return to Aruba this coming Sunday. Last Friday, Prime Minister Nelson Oduber and Justice-minister Rudy Croes had ordered the attorney general to open all the files to the FBI. The order was done in writing to the head of the Aruban Public Prosecution (OM). According to spokesperson of the OM, Mariaine Croes, this visit to the FBI was already primed, before the OM received the letter. The OM wants to use al available expertise, from the Netherlands as well as from the FBI.
The defense was not informed about the fact that the FBI would get access to all the information. It will be very careless if this is the case. Pursuant to the Code of Criminal Procedure, only the persons mentioned in the law have power of criminal investigation. When, according to the law, unauthorized people start doing investigations in this case, the guarantee that the suspect derives from the Aruban law, lapses. Neither the judge nor the defense can check whether everything goes according to the rules or not. The defense does not know what part the FBI is now going to have in this case. The defense has turned in an appeal to the examining-magistrate Rick Smid in Curacao for a criminal procedure. No date has been set yet for the lawsuit.
It is a sad issue in the judicial world that the highest local authorities take actions without legal basis, just because they are under pressure of the American media. The defense expects that the OM would wait for a judicial decision, before complying with the instructions of the Aruban government. If the OM doesn’t, their client would reserve the right to request persecution of the not-susceptibility of the OM.
According to Spokesperson Croes, it is up to the examining-magistrate to decide on this and the OM will have to go along with his decision.
Sounds like Dan is getting some of his info from paulus (from his spidey hole). Operation 'cleanup joran' continues.
Even if they wash the car six ways 'til Sunday, they won't get out every spot if there's any blood. But you'd have to use first class forensic tools, like high intensity light sources to pick up blood or any other bodily fluids. But if they buried her at the beach, and then for some reason dug her up and dumped her in the sea, were they getting rid of traces of sand? (If they had her body in the car transporting her to wherever they dumped her in the sea.)
