Well it looks like Joran is finally getting some decent time in the slammer. Maybe not for what he must have done to Natalie but what he did to poor Stefany. I have followed this case for a long time and it does my mind good to see at least some form of justice just sad that another girl had to die.

Thank you for writing the book and posting it online to allow someone like me to stumble across it.

I was unaware of the cottage industry that has grown around some of these high profile cases such as Natalee, Caylee Anthony, JonBenet Ramsey, Haleigh Cummings, etc. until the past year or so. I am very disturbed with what I see.

The cascade of events occurring around the five year anniversary of Natalee's disappearance seems more than coincidental to me.

- Beth opening Mayday360 and the NHRC in Washington, DC

- The extortion sting apparently set up by Beth's attorney, John Q. Kelly.

- Tim Miller & Equusearch's return to Aruba

- The murder of Stefany Flores

- & more things that I am probably unaware of.


My suspicions about all of these heroic samaritans and martyrs are not a welcome point of view on the justice forums as you can well imagine.

Thank you again for your work.

Lamb a la Llama in Peru?

JOSSY MANSUR – Natalee Holloway

In 1999 Jossy Mansur and his brother Luis Mansur sued the Netherlands government before the United Nations Human Rights Committee [www1.umn.edu] for disseminating what the Aruban government termed a top secret report that claimed that the Mansurs were involved in organized crime. The report by the Dutch Internal Security Service draws a picture of security in Aruba and mentions that foreign services fighting crime in the region are almost unanimous in their opinion that the predominant image of the Aruban business community is one of joint services towards (laundering specialists of) regional drug cartels.

The report mentions the Mansurs by name and portrays them as criminals who were associated with criminal organizations involved in drugs trafficking, gun trafficking and laundering money obtained from criminal activities. Despite the fact that the report was classified as top secret it was leaked to the press and its contents became public. The suit was dismissed on procedural grounds for failure to exhaust Mansur's civil remedies in the Netherlands courts.
Paulus Van Der Sloot, father of Joran Van Der Sloot, was a prominent Aruban lawyer (studying to become a judge) involved in the “top secret report”. His level of participation or position in the report is not known.

US President Bill Clinton in 1996 publicly identified Aruba "as a major drug-transit country" and noted that "a substantial portion of the free-zone's businesses in Aruba are owned and operated by members of the Mansur family, who have been indicted in the United States on charges of conspiracy to launder trafficking proceeds."In the late 1980s, an investigator for Senator John Kerry's committee investigating the Iran-Contra Affair, interviewing drug traffickers in a West Miami prison kept hearing about the Mansurs. "Who are the Mansurs?" he would ask. Answer: "The big family in Aruba we used for laundering money and moving cocaine."

Mansur has strongly advocated a point of view in the cases of Eduardo Mathew and Natalee Holloway. He appeared regularly on Fox News and Nancy Grace's CNN Headline News show commenting on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway on Aruba in 2005. Mansur formed his own "investigative team" and his newspaper repeatedly published new leads. According to some observers, Mansur latched onto the bandwagon as part of his own feud with the Aruban government.
The Mansur Family own the Aruban publication called DIARIO [www.diario.aw]

RICARDO FLORES

He is now referred to as Ricardo Flores Ramirez. Someone decided after a week of media circus and many quotes by Ricardo Flores that his surname is now Ramirez? Ditto for Stephany Flores, she also now a Ramirez.
Ricardo Flores, father of alleged murder victim Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramirez is a Peruvian businessman, circus promoter – I guess this axe wielding clown in the picture is an employee, politician, one time presidential candidate and friend of the owner of the Atlantic City Casino where Joran and Stephany apparently met. Evidently he is one powerful Peruvian with multi level government, intercontinental and international contacts.
Circus promoter indeed, as we have witnessed the masses in Peru descend on Joran Van Der Sloot in each of his appearances complete with rotten vegetable throwers and 7 Indian Shamans stabbing JVDS in effigy.
Do Jossy Mansur and Ricardo Flores Ramirez know of each other or conduct business together? Knowing each other is highly probable and conducting business is possible given the South American region where politics drugs corruption casinos and prostitution go hand in hand.

There’s a robust lot. Throw in a couple of private dicks and a C.I.A. here and an FBI there and presto.
The agenda has been an unrelenting and unremitting campaign of harassment and character assassination of Joran with the ultimate goal of a frame-up further down the road once the media succeeded in portraying its version of what JVDS should be, that is, guilty, a serial killer and a psychopath.

The Natalee Foundation’s donations and accounts are not available for public perusal.

“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”.

Beth Twitty’s motive? Revenge/vendetta for the disappearance of her daughter Natalee and her delusional belief, without a body or evidence, that JVDS is guilty.

Jossy Mansur’s motive? Money, revenge/vendetta for the leaked “top secret report” and it’s damning contents.

Ricardo Flores motive? Money. The local clown with all the heavy hitting contacts in a country endemically corrupt and a violator of human rights.

Joran Van Der Sloot needs immediate experienced top caliber assistance.

Natalee Holloway Suspect Joran Van Der Sloot Sought in Peru Murder
Dutch National Last to Be Seen with Murdered Woman, on the Lam in South America

By RUSSELL GOLDMAN and CHRISTINE BROUWER
June 2, 2010

Joran van der Sloot, the 22-year-old Dutch playboy twice arrested in the mysterious disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway, has been named the prime suspect in the death of a young Peruvian woman found dead over the weekend in a Lima hotel.
Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramirez, 21, was found at the Miraflores Hotel Tac in Lima, Peru on Sunday in room registered to van der Sloot, who was arrested and released in connection with the disappearance of Holloway , an 18-year-old American student who went missing in Aruba five years ago this week.

Officials believe Flores was killed exactly five years after Holloway's May 30, 2005, disappearance.



Flores was found beaten and stabbed to death in a room booked in van der Sloot's name, police said. A hotel employee told police that Flores entered the hotel early Sunday morning with van der Sloot.

"We have an interview with a worker at the hotel who says she saw this foreigner with the victim enter his room," Peruvian police chief Gen. Cesar Guardia told reporters today.

The woman's father told reporters that the she was killed about 8 a.m. Sunday morning and the room was covered in blood, indicating a struggle had taken place.

Authorities believe van der Sloot fled Peru, passing through customs into Chile, and is on his way to Argentina. Peruvian officials have issued an international arrest warrant for the Dutchman.

Van der Sloot reportedly entered Peru on May 14 and left either May 30 or May 31. He initially entered the country to play in a poker tournament, Guardia said.

Flores left a friend's home Wednesday morning and was last seen that evening leaving a casino with Van der Sloot, according local media quoting to the woman's father, Ricardo Flores, a Peruvian businessman and racecar driver. Surveillance cameras caught the pair leaving the casino together.

A funeral for Flores will be held Thursday, her father told ABC News.

Holloway similarly disappeared after being last seen with Van der Sloot outside an Aruban night club on May 30, 2005. Van der Sloot was initially arrested in Holloway's disappearance in June of that year. He was released and arrested again in 2007, when he was detained for questioning but never charged.

In 2008, Dutch journalist Peter de Vries claimed he solved the case when Van der Sloot confessed to an undercover reporter to being with Holloway when she died and dumping her body in the Caribbean Sea.

In February 2010, a Dutch tabloid published a supposed confession by Van Der Sloot in which he said Holloway got drunk and fell from a balcony.

Natalee Holloway Snorted Coke, Fell to Death, Suspect Says
Joran van der Sloots alleged new confession asserts graphic details of the night she died
By CLEOPATRA ANDREADIS and CHRISTINE BROUWER

Feb. 26, 2010—

New details in the alleged confession from Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, give an emotional and descriptive account of what he says were Holloways last moments that night she died.

The Telegraaf reported that they viewed the videotaped conversation, which lasted two and a half hours, yesterday of van der Sloots most recent interview with RTL 5, a Dutch television station. This latest alleged confession was shot at a hotel in Dusseldorf, Germany. A full interview is expected to air this Sunday on the network.

According to the Dutch tabloid, van der Sloot reveals the surname of his 20-year-old accomplice, A., and describes in detail how they allegedly brought Holloway to a friend's house where he says they drank whiskey and used cocaine.

"A. had just put on the music. And eh, they both had just taken some coke." Van der Sloot claims Holloway and A. snorted the drugs before Holloway decided to climb up onto the rim of the balcony to dance. "I think she was pretty drunk," van der Sloot added, "so she was just kind of dancing half a striptease, just like she was doing on stage at Carlos & Charlies."

The Dutch tabloid noted van der Sloot becoming more emotional as he described in detail what he says happened next.

"Then I walked over to her to dance with her a little.... And eh, I grabbed her by the hips. When I let go, she fell from the balcony..."

"We looked down and saw her lying there. Yes, there was blood. I think she fell on the ground with her head first." Van der Sloot continued to say that they both ran the steps to Natalee. "Her chin was to one side and I turned it the other way. There was blood on the ground too. There was no life."

The Justice Department in Aruba is quick to dismiss the details of this latest alleged confession, telling ABC News that "We have been aware of the existence of this interview since August of last year. We investigated the claims made. The Aruban police investigated, with help from specialists with the Dutch police.

Spokeswoman for the Aruban Justice Department, Ann Angela continued to say that their "conclusion was that the statements made by Joran van der Sloot are entirely unbelievable."

Chief Prosecutor in Aruba, Peter Blanken told ABC News, "It's a story that in and of itself does fit in terms of timing. But all the other things that could be investigated, and that means the story about the witnesses [&], the house, the height of the balcony, all those types of things don't add up in Joran van der Sloot's statement."

This alleged confession comes almost two years after undercover tapes were released by Dutch crime reporter Peter R. de Vries, in which van der Sloot appears to admit he was present when Holloway died and that he helped dump her body in the ocean. De Vries, who sat down for an exclusive interview with ABC News' Chris Cuomo back in 2008 after the tapes went public, says he is "totally convinced Joran is telling the truth" on the tape. "Joran is telling the truth about what happened to Natalee," De Vries told Cuomo, adding that "she died in his arms on the beach that night."

The chief prosecutor in the Holloway case, Peter Blanken, told 'De Telegraaf' that the so-called confession in 2008 resulted in a new investigation into the disappearance of Holloway, but eventually concluded without results. "It became clear that this statement is held together by lies and fantasy," Blanken said. "Times are wrong and named witnesses have denied."

Holloway went missing back in May 2005 during a high school graduation trip to Aruba. Her disappearance received international attention.

The Man Who Lured Van der Sloot to Talk
In the ABC interview in 2008 Patrick van der Eem, described in detail how he painstakingly gained the young Dutch suspect's trust, took his suspicions to Holland's leading investigative reporter and began a sting operation that led to van der Sloot's caught-on-camera admissions.

"I am telling you honestly, I know what happened to that girl," van der Sloot told Van der Eem, on the undercover video. He goes on to say that Holloway died in his arms and that he called a friend to dispose of her body.

On the tape, van der Sloot further describes to van der Eem that Holloway suffered a seizure during a romantic encounter between the pair, who had met hours before at a local nightclub.

At another point, he told van der Eem, "I tried to shake her, and I was shaking the b****. I was like, 'What is wrong with you man?' I almost wanted to cry."

Van der Sloot said he feels lucky the police were not able to recover Holloway's body. "I think I am incredibly lucky that she's never been found because if she had been found I would be in deep [excrement]," van der Sloot also said on the tape.

De Vries dismissed van der Sloot's claim that he was lying on the tape or that drugs affected his statement, saying "I don't buy these allegations."

Joran Talks
In an exclusive interview with ABC News' Chris Cuomo in 2006, van der Sloot said he planned to have sex with Holloway when they left a bar together.

"We were planning on going to my house, because she said she wanted to go to my house," he said. "My intention was to take her to the house to have sex with her." But the couple did not end up sleeping together, he told Cuomo. "I asked her if she wanted to have sex, and she was fine with it," he said. "I didn't have a condom with me though in my wallet, and I won't have sex with a girl without a condom."

Holloway, who was visiting Aruba on a school trip, met van der Sloot at a casino the night she disappeared. How they met and what went on between them has been the focus of endless speculation by officials and Holloway's friends and family.

"I sat down there and within five minutes, there was a group of girls from the Mountain Brook school that came up to me and sat down next to me and they wanted to play as well," van der Sloot told Cuomo. "They'd already been drinking that day and had drinks with them. We played blackjack for a while, and I told them whether or not to hit."

'I Didn't Want Anyone to Know'
Van der Sloot admitted in the 2006 interview that he had a reputation in Aruba as a ladies' man, but he said he has been portrayed "unfairly" as a "murderer and a rapist and everything I'm not."

"In Aruba that was part of my lifestyle ... going out, being single and picking up girls," he said. "Going out with them, having a good time and then saying goodbye." Soon after admittedly lying to police about having dropped Holloway off at her hotel, van der Sloot became the main suspect in the case.

Van der Sloot -- along with Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe -- were arrested June 9, 2005 on suspicion of involvement in Holloway's disappearance. Van der Sloot admitted that he was with her but denied any wrongdoing at the time. All were released after a court ruled that there wasn't enough evidence to hold them. Van der Sloot said he didn't want to tell the truth because he was scared.

"I didn't want anyone to know," he told Cuomo. "I didn't want anyone to know I left her at the beach."

Shocking news from Aruba. Paulus van der Sloot dies suddenly!

Father of Natalee Holloway suspect dies

11/02/2010

Media on Aruba are reporting that Paul van der Sloot, the father of the main suspect in the Natalee Holloway disappearance case, has died.

Joran van der Sloot's father collapsed on Wednesday evening when playing tennis at the Tierra del Sol estate on the Dutch Caribbean island. Emergency service staff were unable to resuscitate him. Paul van der Sloot was aged 57.

His son Joran is still suspected of involvement in the disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway on Aruba in May 2005. The case was brought back into the limelight when crime reporter Peter R. de Vries secretly filmed Joran van der Sloot claiming that he had dumped Natalee's body in the ocean. The potentially incriminating statement was not accepted as evidence by the court.

Paul van der Sloot, a lawyer who was training as a judge on Aruba, was repeatedly interviewed by the media in connection to his son's alleged involvement in the case. It has never become clear to what extent Mr Van der Sloot knew what Joran's role may have been.

[www.expatica.com]

From Peter de Vries website:

"Overigens wordt de uitzending van zondag wel heel interessant, kan ik nu reeds onthullen. Voor het eerst sinds lange tijd komen we weer eens terug op Joran van der Sloot…. Wat dacht u daarvan?"


English translation:

the broadcast of Sunday will be very interesting, I can now reveal. For the first time in a long time we come back again on Joran van der Sloot .... How about that?

[www.peterrdevries.nl]

He continues with teasers that this show will be about the interrogations following his van confession. He also mentions Joran's missing shoes. He claims not a day goes by that he is not asked about Joran van der Sloot.

I see that after 4 plus years Natalee was finally declared officially missing from Alabama.

[blog.al.com]


Wonder what took so long? Does this mean she is not considered deceased but only missing?

[www.myspace.com]

Poentje Castro, in jail along with others for 'fencing' after Claudius Phillips place of residence was missing large screen TV and some laptops, etc.
Poentje??!!! Fencing nets good money doesn't it.
All this brings me back to why Patrick may have "threatened Poentje in the first place after an interview to "catch" Patrick. Does Poentje do extortion also? Sure brings him down alot closer to Patricks stylem imo.

On another note, all those jailed were one on one with police captors. Sounds serious.

A Media Circus in Paradise

An Alabama reporter discovers the press doesn’t quite shine in the Caribbean sun.

[www.ajr.org]

What an interesting article I had never seen posted at another forum. Basically it really explains a good bit about how the media descended on this story back in 2005 and it makes me wonder how that might have affected the outcome as it stands today.

One of the boards had a hot bed topic about how your particular area of the country would have handled the case differently. I so wanted to respond but have not been activated.

I think the biggest difference if one lives in the States would have been in the treatment of Joran being under 18 at the time. Since there was no evidence of any fowl play I just cannot see that he would have spent any time in jail. He also would have had his parents by his side immediately none if this his dad being a judge stuff and his dad would have cautioned him with the aid of an attorney as to how much to say and maybe even got the truth of where she was dropped off right away. But I just do not see that there would have been a search of their homes or too much different. The U.S. is pretty protective of rights and unless some evidence showed up right away new that we never saw I think the case might have been pretty quiet. I also do not see the family of Natalee manipulating the police like the seemed to in Aruba.

Why not Mountain Brook?

Reading an article this morning about the missing Yale student, I ran across this, and boy did it jump out at me:


Le did not just leave her purse and cell phone behind. She left her friends, family and fiancé, all of whom need to be interviewed carefully by the police. They will have to figure out if she was happy and carefree before her disappearance, or if something was causing her anxiety and concern – something serious enough that it may have caused her hide out.

This was not an option ever with Natalie and it always has bothered me because knowing the mindset of her just might have opened up a whole new window for clues as to what happened. Immediately all of those teens should have been talked to. Why was this never done? Just because this happened in Aruba does not mean that there might not have been things going on or upsetting her at home that could have caused her disappearance. We just do not know and probably will never know now.

Joran has been awfully quiet lately but a few months back didn't he do another stunt for $$$$ and we have yet to hear how all that went down. The polygraph that he did and was filmed over in Netherlands. What happened with all that? If that big fat man paid Joran a lot of money you would think he would want to get his money's worth. It is the fall season now maybe it'll be on Dutch station soon?

As a frequent traveller of the Carribean I am always amazed at how few people that I speak to have even heard of the Holloway case and even those that have never really felt it impacted the country of Aruba in much of a negative way. I do not think it especially did the damage that the boycott group had hoped it was to do.

I see often on that scared monkey board posting pictures of no one on the beach but when I have been there the beaches were loaded. I just don't think this case has been hurt so much by this but more the economy of other countries in general.

I admit I am borrowing a post from another board but it seemed interesting and I just read there and never have posted, so will throw it out here.

If Joran and or the Kalpoes did not do something to Natalee who else might be looked at since we are at 4 plus years and sort of stuck on no news and no solutions. Is it time to begin again and look at everyone all over again?

Who might be looked at?

Tahoe Girl Missing For 18 Years May Be Alive

August 27, 2009 9:30 AM

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (CBS13) A possible break in the 1991 kidnapping case of an 11-year-old girl from South Lake Tahoe. A woman showed up in Contra Costa County yesterday, claiming to be Jaycee Lee Dugard, who has been missing for 18 years.

This morning, Dugard's mother, Terry Probyn is flying to Northern California from her home in Southern California to meet with the woman who claims to be her missing daughter.

CBS13 spoke with Dugard's stepfather Carl Probyn late Wednesday, who says the FBI facilitated a phone call between the woman in Concord and Dugard's mother Terry who now lives in Riverside County. According to Carl Probyn, this woman walked into a Bay Area police station identifying herself as Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was 11-years-old at the time of her disappearance.

The El Dorado County Sheriff's Department has announced they will hold a press conference Thursday to discuss the high-profile kidnapping case from 1991.

Dugard was kidnapped the morning of June 10, 1991, while walking from her home to the school bus stop on Washoan Blvd. in Meyers. Her stepfather said he watched a stranger pull up and yank Jaycee Lee into a two-toned gray sedan as she kicked and screamed. Probyn believed a man and woman were in the vehicle. Although there were several false sightings, Dugard was never seen again.

CBS13's Kurtis Ming investigated the cold case in 2003 when there was renewed hope Dugard may have been alive. There were several similarities to the Elizabeth Smart case out of Utah. Smart and Dugard resemble one another. Both girls were abducted in the month of June, 11 years apart. One of Smart's alleged captors, Wanda Barzee resembled the female captor in the composite sketch in Dugard's case. Dugard was kidnapped near Highway 50 which leads to Salt Lake City.

Patrick Van der Eem Arrested in Aruba

A man who became apart of this case almost three years after Natalee went missing in Aruba, Patrick van der Eem has once again become a news item by failing to pay his Aruba hotel bill, becoming aggressive and also for cocaine possession.
