Hasibokus is a Dutch blog co-operating with RWV in the reporting around the Natalee Holloway disappearance. In this post, they have translated a Dutch news report, adding some additional information for those interested in learning more as regards certain facets of the case. This article in english is worth the read.
De Telegraaf reports that the authorities have done some investigating and this has lead them to believe that PvdS gave instructions to the 3 boys and told them what version of the story they have to give to the authorities and what they shouldn’t tell. This has also been reported by the respected Dutch news program, NOVA, on Saturday.
I think Dad mostly got called in cause he told the boys, in front of the Beth and Jug to shut up. I mean as he should be. The pressure on Joran part may also be true, but mostly I think it was in response to that.
Interesting Croes was just there cause of an email from Deepak.

Just for Clarification. Whatever cell phone calls were made were to SANTA LUCIA in ARUBA and NOT SAINT LUCIA the island

Maybe deepak stayed on beach as well. remember mom said satish often drops him and picks him up from work because he does not like to scratch his car. sand is awfully abrasive isn't it?
Posted by: EJsgal | Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 01:50 PM
Deepak called to be picked up not Joran. And Joran msgd. deepak later to let him know he was home. They separated after the incident to avoid being seen together

I still don't understand about the phone calls, who knows what calls were for sure made? Was there really one from Joran at 6:30 from somewhere other than home?
Posted by: Midge | Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 01:53 PM
Remmeber the night the family arrived and they had confrontation deepak was very vocal to joran not to say anything
Posted by: EJsgal | Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 01:55 PM
I thought it was the Dad to who said not to say anything...
Posted by: Midge | Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 01:58 PM
Ejsgal...Joran made the calls...NOT Deepak, please see my post at Aruba Breaking from 1:19

Cnn reports that Steve Croes will be released on monday because of the lack of evidence against him.
Posted by: Caro | Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 02:00 PM
Yeah,
Got some info from Police Officials.
Court hearings are not normally held on weekends and justice department does not work on weekends.
If a hearing should take place on saturday or sunday (when the 24 hours or 8 days terms expires) they move this to the next working day.
However because of the importance of the case, they did the courthearing on a weekend, but no official paperworks can be done till the next working day, in this case monday.

What Deepak can't use Jorans phone? Do we even know if Deepak had his phone? Maybe Satish had it.
Posted by: EJsgal | Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 02:14 PM
It seems to me that there are three central persons of interest. JVS, PVS,and DK. I also think that they let out Steve Croes because they need to get more evidence against him and they want him to 'slip up' while he is on the outside. If they release Satish,I think the ourpose would be to put some added pressure on his brother. I also think that PVS was arrested to scare the original three because PVS may have been of more use to them out of jail. It is just an attempt to make the guys think that the polis are closing in on them.

I just don't see how you can really know with all the lying going on
Posted by: EJsgal | Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 02:17 PM
I think PVDS is disgruntled because of his recent "demotion" and is therefore even less likely to cooperate in the investigation. In addition to wanting to protect his son, he probably has an "I'll show you" attitude toward the cops/courts.

EjsGal.....The PHONE RECORD states that...Joran made the calls...NOT Deepak, please see my post at Aruba Breaking from 1:19
Posted by: Stumped | Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 02:29 PM
In this case rumours run rampant. At the beginning of the investigation people were outraged becaused it was reported in MSM that joran drove a car.People were so upset by this wondering how it was that the guy's parents allowed him to drive. It turned out that the Honda Civic did not belong to him and that he does not drive as reported by GRETA ON FOX.As everyone knows Geraldo Rivera is not the most reliable reporter and to my mind he fills the airwaves with unsubstantiated rumours. For example where is the gang bang tape and proof of joran breaking the plate glass window. Sounds a bit tabloid to me.

Phone records can tell you who was on the line? That's incredible!!!

hi everyone.
can someone please fill me in on what happened today. i've been gone all day...
Posted by: sara | Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 03:44 PM
Sara, can you read?
Posted by: swisscheese | Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 04:28 PM
Sara, the new posts on Dan's page have the latest, but basically:
5 suspects went to court. Steve Croes being released tomorrow 1pm--not enough evidence. Geraldo says Croes voluntarily went to police to say he saw the 3 drop off NH at Holiday Inn. When the 3 said that wasn't true, police suspected Croes.
PVDS is waiving his right not to testify against his son.....which some interpret as meaning he'll give testimony supporting Joran's story. Judge will decide at 8pm whether to hold PVDS longer.

FOX NEWS just reported:
Daddy VDS has been released! Steve Croes will be released tomorrow at 1pm. What is happening?
Posted by: TexasGirl | Sunday, June 26, 2005 at 06:52 PM
"The judge ordered the father of Dutch teen Joran van der Sloot and party boat disc jockey Steve Gregory Croes to be released in the absence of sufficient evidence to continue holding them. The other three suspects will remain in custody for another eight days, according to a court clerk."
