The word on the street is that Beth Twitty confronted Deepak Kalpoe today, possibly in the Internet cafe. The info is sketchy, but has come from two very different sources - one anon, one known and reliable.
There's an additional side line claiming that Greta Van Sustern may have also done the same at some point. That report less clear.
Also, one unqualified source in Aruba is claiming he will file a restraining order tomorrow at 9AM. That piece is completely unconfirmed ... and I'll be watching to see how all of the above plays out, if it does ... same as you. Geesh!
Additionally, there is serious talk behind the scenes that a former girlfriend of Joran Van der Sloot named Melody will do a call in interview near the end of the show on Rita Cosby tonight, via MSNBC - 9PM.
Two sources on that, also - one says 100% - other less certain.
Developing ...


Dan:
There was video of Beth at the Internet Cafe talking to Deepak and handing him something across the table while he just squirmed and continued typing at this laptop. This on Abrahms on MSNBC.

Interesting - the report from Aruba was a bit more active than that off camera ... not that I buy all of it, by any means.
I didn't realize anyone watches MSNBC?? : )
Maybe I'll have to start.

Dan:
Abrahms usually has a small portion of the show dedicated to the Natalee Holloway case. He had Beth on and questioned her interview with Deepak and she mentioned he said nothing, but that his lawyer advised him NOT to speak to anyone about the case.
Her question to him was: Did you participate in Natalee's sexual assault or did you try to help Natalee out? He wouldn't answer her, neither defend himself in sayint he had nothing to do with harming Natalee. Beth handed something over to him but when questioned by Abrahms as to what it was, she said: I would rather not say right now.
Abrahms noted that Beth was giving her FIRST interview to him after confronting Deepak.

Yet Another blatant attenpt by beth Twity to Hog the camera. D any of you really think this STUNT (for the cameras) will Benefit the search for Natalee?
Do you think that the Honest, good natured Aruban people will agree that beth is doing the right thing in confronting Depak while a TV crew is filing the situation?
can Beth do anything without the TV crew fllowing her every move?
Beth is not winning any friends and the ones that she has in Aruba I gaurantee are re-thinking their impressions of her.

I hope that Beth "slapped the living muss" out of the little piece of s*&t", as we say here in Alabama.

And by the way, "Birmingham Dog", I'll believe that you are from Birmingham or anywhere else in Alabama the day pigs can fly.
Those are horrible comments you've made. This poor mother is without your daughter. Show some respect.
Posted by: Bama Beer Drinker | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:11 PM
i feel for this woman, i do, but she doesn't like aruba's justice system so she gets the US involved- then follow the rules of the us justice system.
first of all, innocent until proven guilty, BUT, BUT, she has no clue that her daughter was even sexually assaulted.
she needs some help, bad. i wish only good things for her, but she can't go around doing whatever the hell she wants.

i'm glad beth tried to talk to deepack. it's just like when dave wanted to talk to joran. their daughter is missing and these three guys were the last seen with her. if they could cut through all the court bs and sit eye to eye, perhaps dave and beth could find out what happened.
Posted by: elan | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:15 PM
Why would BHT do that just to get more air time? I'd have done the same thing, probably a long time ago. She's not doing this for publicity...she's trying to find her daughter. The so-called "honest, good-natured people of Aruba" have fumbled this investigation from the git-go. I wish she'd have whopped Deepak too, but that would have probably only succeeded in getting her banned from the island. She's not going to do anything to mess up what there is of this off-the-wall investigation.

The boys in one of their statements did admit to raping her. I do not believe anything they say, but they deserve what ever happens they are liars and criminals. God Bless Beth! God Forgive the Kalpoes and the Van der Sloots for I will not!

Posted by: Dan | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:27 PM
she said she'd rather not say what she gave Deepak. Obviously her question to him indicated she suspected sexual assault.
Maybe Beth gave Deepak a report stating evidence of Natalee's DNA along with his DNA in the backseat of his car.
Posted by: Hmmm.... | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:29 PM
Go Beth Go!!!!! I would have done that a long time ago
Posted by: LALady | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:30 PM
I saw on NGrace that she offered Deepak 250,000.00 to tell her where Natalee was. He said nothing, just shook.
The repoter she was speaking to, Anastasia ?? spoke to Karin Janssin today, but Nancy cut her off, so I don't know what the prosecutor said.
The guest lawyers including Deb. Opri thought it was a big mistake for Beth to do this as it could damage the case down the line. There was mention of a restraining order.
What was she thinking ?
Posted by: Kat_Gram | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:31 PM

i believe they said they had sex with her. its not the same thing. i'm not saying anything bad about her- if they say sex you can't make the leap to rape without evidence in the eyes of US law.

I think someone said Beth gave him a copy of his confession in Dutch that she had translated for Beth to know what was said by the 3 perps early on?
Posted by: CancunGirl | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:38 PM
Anyway, it looked like a cassette size package she passed over the desk to Deepak and he took it from her. But in the interview Beth gave Abrahms she said she would rather NOT say right now.
Posted by: CancunGirl | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:41 PM

At least Joran admitted raping her. Joran, Paul, Satish and Deepak are all parasites. If Beth wants me to I will go down there and they will talk or never talk again.

Well done, you never cease to amaze me. You have always been tops on the news coming forth with Natalee, above any blog, news media..etc. Getting it out here first.
You've got great connections it seems. Better than any media celebrities even!

How do you KNOW what Depak has siad in his interrogations ? If you alledge this, why is Depak still free ?
SOme of you know so much more about this case than the truth allows.
keep this up and the truth will never be founbd, accusations abound. Where do you deferintiate between fact and fiction?
Predator - that could describe any teen boy, in Beth's mind.
And lastly I am sure the public relations firm that the Twity's hired have told them just like the plicitcians "Key Words" our key word this week is ------- Predatory -----

Michelle Kosinski is hot! And she is on right now talking about the ex-girlfriend. She seems naive and very young...infidelity ended the relationship...imagine that.
Regarding Beth confronting Deepak, if my daughter was missing and I wasn't getting and information, I would talk to whoever I thought was involved. I would have restraining orders on me all over the frickin island. These parents are suffering the most tragic loss one can suffer. I lost both my parents at a pretty young age, but I'm sure that is nothing compared to the loss of a child.
Beth and Dave should talk to whoever they can. Their pressure will make these kids break, not the Aruban law enforcement.
Posted by: texjsl | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:47 PM
Jug on Hannity right now. He seems oddly terse. Says Beth T was happy and called him after the Deepak encounter. I'm at a loss - the Twittys are now saying (Jug) that they knew on the first night a sex act was forced on Natalee.
They know this because Joran and Deepak told them?
In general, I just don't think this type of activism is a good thing for the case. Hard as it may be, a better strategy might be to work through the state department and the FBI.
It's frustrating - but sometimes restraint is the better option, to preserve the process of solving and prosecuting a case.
Posted by: Berry | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:50 PM
there's a difference between BHTs approach to talking to deepak, and DH's approach to talking to joran, thats for sure.
one is classy, and one is flashy and undermines the real issue at hand by making it a circus.
Posted by: weet weet | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:51 PM
Weet Weet:
Beth stated it was in one of the reports the police gave her and she has never given me a reason to question her. As in a US court when a witness is caught in a lie the jury can choose to believe nothing he/she says or only part. I choose to believe Joran on that statement.
Posted by: Eugene Bernat | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:51 PM
FYI...
Rita Cosby used to work for Fox and when it came time for contract renewals a while back they could not come to an agreement. So, she went to work for MSNBC a while back and is just now starting her new job and time slot with them. She was good with Fox and I am sure she will do a great job with MSNBC. I will tune in from time to time as she does have some good shows. Maybe she too, will do some investigative work on the Natalee Hollaway case as well. Any and all help is needed. Hopefully something will an out in the very near future !

The boys admitting to raping Natalee? I can't imagine these boys would say to someone that they raped her, straight out. When asked if it was rape, Jug just stated it was "a sexual act". That can be anything from oral sex to rape. I hope Deepak is brought back in. It sounds like the Aruban government is going to be under close scutiny by the motherland Dutch after the end of this case. I wonder how many officials are going to be "terminated" for mishandeling or covering up. I am curious to see what happens.
Posted by: Susan P. | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:55 PM
I don't believe she suspects she was sexually assaulted. They have statements that say she was sexually assaulted. Again, good for Beth. If it wasn't for her, this whole case would have been swept under the rug. I respect both Dave and Beth for trying to see the suspects. The difference is Beth got through and saw Deepak. How can you fault her for her approach? My God, her daughter is missing, she has no answers, there are a slew of people in Aruba that know what happened to Natalee and they choose not to talk. I hope she continues pushing forward for the truth and finally get an answer to what happened to her beautiful daughter.
Posted by: MBMom2 | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 09:59 PM
i can fault her for her approach, because, she could seriously screw up the investigation and perhaps any punishment by just doing whatever she wants.
Posted by: weet weet | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 10:00 PM
Dan, I understand that Beth Gave Depak a cassette tape of the cell phone conversation from that night, Natalee made at 3am ?

You're such a tease!

Beth is not putting pressure on anybody. She is acting like a hysterical woman without direction. I hope someone does get a restraining order and she violates it. Maybe she might enjoy a stretch in the Aruba jail. She thinks she is the only person on the island with rights, well she isn't.

Posted by: jgw | Monday, August 08, 2005 at 10:18 PM
Several things:
First, if they actually admitted to sexual assault--they would still be in jail with Joran. I don't think a country exists where rape is not a crime.
Second, I can understand WHY Beth is doing what she is doing....but I think it just might come back to bite her. I have to say if it was me, and it was my daughter, then the Kalpoes would have talked by now...and I would probably be in jail--so I understand the emotion, but I think it is a mistake, and I think it could hurt the case in the long run.
So...what did she give Deepak?
We wait...................................

In fact our local newspaper has dropped this case, the local talk radio stations talk about illegal immigration not Natalee Holloway.
