Interesting. I wondered how Greta persuaded them to allow a filmed interview. When they first talked at the gate, he said, No Camera, and she said, Fine.
Satish Kalpoe to mom: 'We didn't do anything' The mother of the Kalpoes said Thursday that one son had admitted he and his brother made up a cover story to protect Joran Van Der Sloot.
Nadira Ramirez told CNN she was permitted to visit son Satish Kalpoe at Aruba's prison within the past week.
Initially, Ramirez said, her sons had told her and police they dropped Holloway off at the Holiday Inn, where she was staying. But Satish Kalpoe told his mother later that was a lie aimed at protecting Van Der Sloot.
In fact, he told his mother, he and his brother had dropped Holloway and Van Der Sloot off at the beach by the Marriott hotel, about a mile from the Holiday Inn.
Ramirez tearfully said her son insisted he and his brother were innocent.
"'We didn't do anything. We will be out from here. Don't cry,'" she said he told her.
"I asked him, 'Satish, are you sure you guys didn't do anything?'" she said.
She said he responded: "'No, mama. We gave that girl and Joran a lift.'
"They don't even know Natalee. They said she didn't even introduce herself to them," she said. "They don't know anything else about that."
Ramirez's account echoes comments made by one of two security guards who were arrested June 5 in connection with the case and released June 13.
The guards, Abraham Jones, 28, and Mickey John, 30, were never charged.
After his release, John said Deepak Kalpoe confided to him while they were in jail together that he had lied to police.
Remember that Beth Holloway was with Greta, and the two of them went in and spoke to both wife and Paulus for about 90 min. That was meant to bring the two upset families together, not meant to be an outright interview with the parents.
So Greta probably said something like, "I want to give you both opportunity to present YOUR point of view, just as I gave the Holloways that chance in my interviews with them." And they went for it.
I was wondering if something he said during that first talkfest might have been told to the police and they cross-checked it with what he had told them, and something did not match up, even BEFORE the latest interview with the two.
