Ben King: Poor Judgement Or Cover-Up in Natalee Holloway Case

I was and still am a bit leary of this report on corruption in the Dutch justice system in Aruba: some facts appear to be incorrect. For instance, Paul(us) v d Sloot is not a "high-ranking official."

The habitual impartiality has been demonstrated in the past with several cases, one case in particular stands out. The case of Alexander Mathew against a Dutch government official, Ben Vocking whom now goes by the name of Ben King .

In this particular case documents disappeared, forensic reports were over looked and witnesses were denied, these documents were in the favor of Alexander Mathew. Paul van der Sloot is a high ranking official in the judicial system and is close friends with Ben King, whom now works at the prosecution office. King was reportedly seen visiting Paul van der Sloot at his home when the Arubian police were performing a search of the van der Sloot residence. Mathew's entire case was tampered with.

King said that his friend Paul van der Sloot helped him in the Mathew case. How many cases has and will Paul van der Sloot help cover up?

However, I do find it curious that an official so close to the PM would 1) change his name and 2) exercise such poor judgement in the Natalee Holloway case that it now appears he has taken a vacation and, from all appearances, will continue to be of assistance or support to the Van der Sloot's in some way.

An article I found in Dutch - scroll down to fifth article - looked curious, so I asked Begga from Hasibokos to translate.

Translation: The Public Ministry (Aruban prosecutor's office) affirmed that Ben King, head of the support division of the Attorney General, was present at the house of the Van der Sloot family when it was being searched Thursday last week.

Spokesperson Marianne Croes, of the prosecutor's office: “King was and is on holiday. He was indeed not present on behalf of the PM (during the search of the van der Sloot estate)” The spokesperson doesn’t want to comment on the various observations that find it strange that a member of the PM was present at the house of the suspects family while the search took place.

Sources within the PM affirm however that the PM as a whole is not happy at all with the actions of Ben King, because this may raise doubts with regard to the impartiality of the ministry. .

King himself says that he and his family have been good friends with the Van der Sloots for some years now. Paul van der Sloot also worked for the PM in the past. King: “A few years ago, when I was working at KIA (local prison), I was maltreated by a prisoner and went through a rough period during which the Van der Sloot family provided us with fantastic support. We want to do the same for them now. But I realize naturally that I cannot stand at both sides on the line.”

And because of this King took some time off from his job to be able to support his friends. King: “It is a small island where conclusions are drawn very fast.” Both Public Ministry and I realize that we have to remain cool-headed. At the same time I have my rights as private-citizen and I want to support my friends in this difficult period.” Ben King was formerly named Vocking, he changed his name a few months ago and his name is now officially King.

I sure Greta or Geraldo could do some digging here!!!

Hummmm....King as in King Arawak? I do think Shonga is a real person who is trying to expose this corrupt government without exposing him/herself. I still believe that she is alive. That this is in fact a kidnapping, just a high level kidnapping.

[AnnaA]

Paul van der Sloot certainly is blessed with friends in a position to help him in this regard but one has to wonder just why does an innocent man need any help at all?

[Island Hopper]

IMO
Shango = xango = "p" the major troll that caused Dan so much trouble

[Canadian Girl]

I agree I Hop

Wonder how many other trolls are connected to this family???

[Moonshadow]

Hopper, how are Shango and P similar?

[DeeDee]

His post were all at Scared Monkeys, how do you figure he was a troll here? I guess I missed something.

[Arubacoverup]

Like I have been saying all along...This is a cover up to protect one of their own.

[color]

Shango Fan Dango has done nothing but try to smear Natalee.

[lookingood]

Boy am I confused - I didn't see Shango smearing Natalee at all. Where is that idea coming from? I've read all of Shango's posts. I saw no slurs about Natalee. What are you talking about?

[michele]

Awesome work Dan, as usual!

Hey y'all, I wonder if King is Shango's King Arawak? I think Shango knows, no matter what doubters think. His codes are now synonymous with the case, and resonate as being signifigant. There's an aura of truth to his cryptic writings, imo.

In fact, this report of Dan's support's Shango's oracle writings.

Keep an open-mind. That's the only way to find Natalee.

[Sgt.Sally]

Paul van der Sloot certainly is blessed with friends in a position to help him?

I wonder. Another poster several days ago observed. If he had such powerful friends, how come he couldn't get a job. If you recall he failed at getting his judgeship - even after a year in Holland.

If he couldn't get his "friends in high places" to help his get a job, how could he get them to cover up a murder?

I am not too fond of Holland and not too fond of the way the Dutch protectorate, Aruba, has covered up in the Holloway case.

My wife and I had the misfortune of spending two days in Amsterdam in 1994.Marijuana and prostitution were both legal entities and we were revolted by the conditions there.

[Justice for Natalee]

"To all Aruban’s:

American wants to encourage you to do all you can to help find Natalee Holloway by stopping the cover up of her kidnapping, gang rape and murder by Juran Van Der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers.

It’s time you stopped pretending that Paul Van Der Sloot with the help of Jan Ver Der Stratten ( corrupt Police Commissioner) Ben Vocking alias, Ben King ( corrupt prosecutor) and the entire inept, corrupted police force have conspired to cover up crimes committed against Natalee Holloway and for what?
To protect Juran Van Der Sloot the son of a corrupt want to be Judge from going to prison for the rest of his life. Juran is a predator, rapist, murdering, lying coward and why would you let these corrupted Aruban officials cover for him?

Americans now know and understand this will not be easy for you since your government is corrupted to the highest levels of government. We also know the Aruban government has been bought and paid for by the money launderers, gun runners and drug cartels that paid for the political campaigns that put you corrupt officials in office.

If not for America, stop the cover up and prosecute all the above participants in her kidnapping, rape, murder and cover up, before we Americans show our retribution by boycotting Aruba and killing there economy the same way you let Juran and the kalpoe’s kill Natalee.

So take a stand for the good people of Aruba who don’t won’t to pay the economic price of retribution by the Americans for the injustice your country has shown the Holloway’s and us Americans. Believe me the Van Der Sloot’s are not worth the price the Aruban Tourism industry is going to pay for the injustice your government has perpetrated against the Holloway family.

Note: I promise you if the Holloway’s don’t have justice for Natalee’s kidnapping, gang rape, murder and attempted cover up, you and the rest of the corrupt island of Aruba will pay dearly. I will do everything in my power to choke the life out of your tourism industry and watch it die, just like you did to Natalee Holloway.

Also in the event you fail to show some balls and take a stand against the corrupt justice system of Aruba and allow justice to be served to the Holloway’s , I just want to say Fuck you and fuck you to your entire fucking corrupt government.

Yours truly,
Justice will prevail

Juran van der Sloot is now back in Holland, attending a University. Beth Holloway T. should go to Holland and file a charge of rape and murder against JvdS and let the Dutch police take over the criminally insane investigation by Arubian Authorities. The Kalpoe brothers know what happened, JvdS knows what happened. If they left her on the beach passed out, she would have still been there where someone would have found her. ergo, these lying, murdering rapists didn't want her found.

TO ALL THAT SUPPORT JUSTICE FOR NATALEE,

WHY ARE YOU LETTING THE SAME CORRUPT ARUBAN & DUTCH OFFICIALS GIVE YOU HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE JUSTICE FOR NATALEE HOLLOWAY’S GANG RAPE, MURDER, DISPOSAL & GOVERNMENT SANTIONED COVERUP.
WHAT HAS CHANGED FROM A FIVE MONTHS AGO? BESIDES THERE BEING A NEW MOUTH PIECE CALLED DUM PIG.
WE ARE BEING LIED TO AND MANIPULATED ONCE AGAIN INTO THINKING THE CORRUPT ARUBAN & DUTCH GOVERMENTS ALL OF THE SUDDEN WANT THE VAN DER SLOOTS & THE KALPOE’S TO BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.
YOU KNOW WHERE I COME FROM, (YOU SCREW ME ONCE SHAME ON YOU, YOU SCREW ME TWICE AND IT’S SHAME ON ME). WELL IF YOU BELIEVE THE CURRUPT DUTCH LABORATORY’S THAT TESTED NATALEE’S BLOOD AND IT CAME BACK AS CHOCOLATE & CLEANING FLUID HAVE ANY INTENTION OF AUTHENTICATING THE SKEETER TAPE THEN YOU SHOULD THINK AGAIN.
NOW FOR A MOMENT IMAGINE IF THEY DID AUTHENTICATE THIS TAPE, IT WOULD MEAN THAT SOME PRETTY HIGH LEVEL ARUBAN & DUTCH OFFICIALS WOULD HAVE TO BE ARRESTED & CHARGED WITH OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE, TAMPERING WITH WITTNESSES AND HINDERING THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THE GANG RAPE, MURDER & DISPOSAL OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY.
ALSO THEY WOULD BE CHARGED WITH COMPLICITY IN THE CONSPIRACY TO PROTECT JORAN VAN DER SLOOT THE RAPIST, MURDERING, LYING, AND SOCIOPATHIC COWARD WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE THE SON OF A WANT A BE ARUBAN SCUMBAG JUDGE.
SO YOU SEE WHERE I’M GOING WITH THIS, THE CORRUPTED ARUBAN & DUTCH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS THAT HAVE HINDERRED THIS CASE FROM THE BEGINNING HAVE NO INTENTION OF CHARGING OF PROSECUTING ANYBODY IN THE GANG RAPE, MURDER & DISAPEARENCE OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT HAS MADE IT CLEAR TO ALL THAT UNDERSTAND WHAT’S AT STAKE FOR THE CURRUPT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN THE CONSPIRACY TO ROB THE HOLLOWAY FAMILY OF JUSTICE FOR THE RAPE & MURDER OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY.
NOTE: I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY USELESS GOVERNMENT IS DOING TO PUT PREASURE ON BOTH THE ARUBAN & DUTCH GOVERNMENT TO ENSURE NATALEE’S RAPE & MURDER IS AVENGED. AFTER ALL SHE WAS & ALWAYS WILL BE AN AMERICAN.
SO I SAY TO GEORGE BUSH “GROW SOME BALLS AND PRETEND NATALEE HOLLOWAY IS THE DAUGHTER OF ONE OF YOUR OIL RICH BUDDIES AND HER FAMILY NEEDS YOUR HELP TO STOP THE CONSPIRACY AND TO ENSURE THOSE INVOLVED IN HER GANG RAPE, MURDER & COVER UP ARE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE”

Ben Voking was at the house when the search was made.

Or when the " no search " was made of the VDS main house.

There was a picture and he was identified.

In addition, Paulus and Anita were staying at the Ben Vokings' house for quite a period of time in the summer of 2005 as they were being hounded by the media.

I had suggested it before, that Paulus called in all his markers and hence the cover up. There was a big mess in the Voking case. Same as this one. Several different stories.

I never thought that some low level person was involved in the cover up. It would have to be someone at the highest level.

I don't know if the discussion of the Voking case still exists on line, but the one of Paulus's early years as a lawyer in Boxtell is gone.

[jeroen]

hello all.

Im surprised to read that people like Ben (voc)king are being named as ones that are responsible for cover-ups etc.
I know both families for a long time, for starters Ben is not a prosecuter as i have read in above reactions, the name changing has been done a long time before this case had even started and has nothing to do with any case what so ever.
A lot of reactions are based on information that isnt correct or even checked at all.
Actually i had a lot of laughs about most tv-reports and articals, i have lived on aruba for a couple of years as well, and everyone that has lived there knows that most of the stuff and "plots" that has been written cant even be true, because they mix-up locations and information all over the place..
In the function at work that Ben had at that time, it wouldnt even been possible for him to change stuff on that case... To prevent all the writing on anybody that showed up at the van der Sloot family he took vacation from work, so if even suspected he couldnt do anything... But still it was said he was covering stuff up ofcourse.
Im amazed that Americans all just only think about what is said in the media-circus that was started and paid for by the halloway family and dont start thinking for there self.
Imagine being said all the stuff that has been said about both families and nothing of it proven... imagine being a member of one of those families, especially if you are just a friend helping someone you have been very good friends with for over years.
