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.
AND! Thanks Tex Kat for the ping!
Thanks for the ping, TexKat. I don't have CNN on, so missed that very interesting interview. Maybe this will unravel at long last. MSNBC just had on a former FBI investigator who said arresting Paulus raises the ante, that they think he might possess some knowledge of events and N's whereabouts. It's also a great way to apply pressure on Joran. Funny, how circumspect the FBI seems to be on tv, even the ex-FBI men, that Mona Lisa smile they all seem to have -- as if they know what's up and won't tell for fear of jeopardizing future convictions.
That's the trouble with liars. It's hard to determine when they're telling the truth. WHY would the Kalpoe's lie to the police and risk being a target themselves? Wonder if the sloots offered them money? Otherwise, It doesn't make much sense.
If that's the case, she raised some exceedingly stupid boys.
