LOL...perhaps I miscommunicated, or there is some misunderstanding, if so I apologize. I do not think I said Satish called Deepak. I thought I wrote : Joran called Deepak, (but maybe he could have called Satish...one of the brothers was called by Joran). Satish went to pick up Deepak (whether it was a pre-arranged, usual time, or Deepak called his brother from work and said "I'm done, come get me" I do not know.) But, Satish picked up Deepak (we agree on that) and they went to give Joran a "lift" as his mother said. So Joran must have communicated with Deepak or Satish and then together they went to Joran's house. His mother is the one who reported that is what her sons said.

The point is that Joran arrived at C&C's shortly prior to when it was going to close. Joran knew Natalee had expressed an interest in him, and since this was her last night on the island it was only natural for them to go somewhere afterwards. I believe he arrived that late on purpose knowing exactly what would happen.

I've been on cruses in the Caribbean that have touched at the Dutch Antillies. We were all warned (by staffers of the Holland America Line) that one of the things the Dutch locals like to do is scope out tourists, buy 'em drinks, get 'em drugged, rape and rob them. The tourist is so interested in getting back to the ship that they don't wait to file charges or complaints. They just go. It's a problem. They like to do it on the last day.
