As mentioned in a report here from yesterday, Deepak Kalpoe has gone ahead and filed a complaint against Beth Twitty with the police department on Aruba. His attorney is also said to have written a letter to the Mother of Natalee Holloway, no doubt protesting her actions in confronting the 21 year old at his place of work.
Beth Holloway Twitty (search) confronted him Monday at the Internet cafe where he works, spending about 90 minutes peppering him with questions.
While it's easy to judge Ms. Twitty's so-called grandstanding and use of unorthodox methods, one might pause to reflect upon what they would do in her situation. Depending upon what I knew, given a similar situation, I'd lilkely would have had someone by the neck a long time ago.
Just sayin ...
The American media may be the family's only hope of anything like a clear resolution to this apparent tragedy.
Guess that email from yesterday came from the Aruban Internet cafe, afterall ... interesting.


How about the following:
1)How about the internet community sending emails to cyberzone in aruba asking for them to post Natalee's poster?
2)If I were the family and friends and I wanted to continue to stay in depaks face, I guess I'd have someone different approach him every few days. Let them file complaints against 10 to 100 different people, might be fun to watch. Although, depak has probably worked his last day there. Keep the "meetings" within Arubas law, but keep the questions in his face.
3) Same for anyone visiting Aruba. Vist the cafe and if depak is there ask him what happened that night, where is Natalee, who harmed her, etc, and ask why the poster is not on the window. Just don't raise your voice, and don't threaten in any way. Just rent some time, and simply talk to him when you are there.
Just a thought..

Excellent point! NO, he never did ask her to leave, and therefore nothing prevented her from staying.
What do you make of his comment, "I don't need any money"?
Posted by: vincent | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:00 PM
I know I give Beth 150% support for holding her composure, I watched her on Nancy Grace this evening and she said she was inside the cafe for 15 minutes before approaching Deepak. God be with her.
Posted by: sweet_angel | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:00 PM
Beth could never be wasting time. She is about the only one involved that never has wasted anytime with her daughters disappearance. I hope that Beth finds a reason to go into that internet cafe whenever she chooses. She has that right. It is not harrassment and it is what almost anyone would do in the situation that she is in. I am proud of her that she has that strength to do what she has been doing. At some point and time the history of the Kalpoe bros. will come to light.
Posted by: kiminfl | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:01 PM
I personally think that someone (young female) should kind of go under cover to see what kind of person Deepak really is, then when he slips up nail his ass, or to all three if they get away free.
Posted by: sweet_angel | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:03 PM
Vince,
His comment on not needing any money?
Ah the Drug dealing business is still good?
Posted by: Jason | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:04 PM
Jason,
Just to give you a little more detail. I was arrested for a LESSER thing than BHT did. I made no verbal insults, threats or physical actions toward this person. In fact, I never saw the person. I dropped off their belongings, knocked on their door and was walking back to my car in a public parking lot when two cop cars rolled up. Charged with misdemeanor harrasment. I was fingerprinted, jailed, levide a restraining order and had to go to court. I had to hire an attorney to keep it off my record. I was FORTUNATE that the party involved did not show up in court and therefore the charges were dismissed. All this person had to do was phone the police and say they felt threatened and harrassed! It's a joke, but I went through hell over this stuff and feel I have to tell what happened so that Miss Twitty doesn't find herself in a bad way.
Posted by: patrick | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:04 PM
Just a wild guess but from the way Dan phrased his statement I'd say Deeppack is the emailer. I believe he does read here, doesn't you?

Patrick,
I know of situations like that happening and I agree it can happen. I have a friend who had a girl he went out with once and was returning some of her stuff to her and had that happen. But in this case it wasnt harrassment it was a restraining order. Mrs Twitty Filmed the entire thing so she is covered but I do understand how things can happen. Just dont think it will in this case. Hard to get anyone to believe Mrs. Twitty threatened him
Posted by: Jason | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:08 PM
HEY DEEPAK WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? SEEING A GHOST YET? YOU WILL.
Posted by: elan | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:12 PM
Jason,
I understand your lack of compassion for the familys even the father. It sure looks like he may very will be involved in the coverup to save his son, or himself. But being a mother myself, I do feel sorry for their mothers. I guess I always try to see how it affects everyone, and IMO I don't think Anita VDP was involved in anyway. Now what she may know after the fact, I really don't know if PVDP would have confided in her any details for fear she may let them slip out.
Posted by: faithfulreader | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:14 PM
Yup, doesn't matter what the two or three attorneys on TV say, I've been through it. Besides, one of those attorneys is BHT's attorney. Of course she's not going to say her client is harrassing anyone. And, Arlene Ellis Schipper I dare say doesn't know every single law. In fact her CV says her specialty areas are adminstrative law and employment law. All i can say is if she goes back in there, she's putting herself at big risk for harrassment. Also, a restraining order can be levied by anyone for almost anything, and it goes on your RECORD. I doubt BHT wants that problem too. If anyone here doesn't believe it, fine. But, I wouldn't go near the place if I was her. There's other, bette ways to get him to talk. That ain't one of them.
Posted by: patrick | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:14 PM
yeah I can think of other ways to get him to talk and boy would I like the opportunity.
Posted by: Jason | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:16 PM
I think the only think holding Beth partially sane is that she has a son to think of back home. If she was to harm any of those boys and go to jail, the little bit she has left of her world would be gone. Losing Natalee, especially her first born, was hell enough, but I don't think she would do something so horrific that it would cause her to lose her son too.

LOL yes, the drug trade's been veddy veddy goot to Deepak..just look at his hearse..er, car.
Hey, I wonder if his boss really told him to take down NH's poster? If not, his boss knows he's an even bigger liar than he thought. Uh what am I saying? Like THAT matters! Deepak should have been "let go" and got a job at C&C's like his stranger friend, Steve Croes.
Posted by: vincent | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:21 PM
Jason, What would you do with the opportunity? Absolutely nothing. You're just somebody anonymously boasting to what you can't do. No one is even impressed.
Aruban LE is handling this, along with FBI support. They made some terrible mistakes in the beginning that probably can't be overcome, but at least the police are people who actually train for the job and take the risk instead of just posting about wanting opportunity.
Posted by: lily bet | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:29 PM
There is a difference about us posting and wanting to do something if we had the opportunity, than having the opportunity and not doing nothing.
Posted by: sweet_angel | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:30 PM
Also, did anyone see O'Reilly tonight? That media consultant summed it up. This is Twitty theater now as it takes increasingly crazy things to make the news in this case. Natalee doesn't even lead on the Fox shows anymore. I like icey's ideas about having people go to the internet cafe every day. Trouble is, it made the news once because it was unexpected. The Deepak complaint made the news, which was probably a planned event. Nobody cares about who confronts who at the cafe now unless some law is broken. The story is losing its audience. That's why you have T.J. Ward trying to initiate interest in statements that he hasn't been able to confirm, but he may be able to, and it may be important if he does, but maybe it won't pan out, but he has to strike while the media fire is hot.
Posted by: lily bet | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:34 PM
Alright everyone, you have a good night. And for The Twitty/Holloway Families you will be in my heart and prayers. I pray that Natalee is returned in some way or another, may god be with you always.

Before I go, I have a poem that I had written,
What are the colors of a rainbow
Who are the voices in the wind
What does it mean when the first snow falls
And where does it all begin
In the corner of creation you'll hear the angels sing, through peace love and happiness you'll hear her voice again.
When the angels came to take her away that is when tears began to fall.
God began to ring and heaven began to call
in the corner of creation you'll hear the angels sing, through peace love and happiness you'll hear her voice again....

Posted by: elan | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:55 PM
One consistency since June. MSNBC, CNN, and FOX have the Holloway case televised daily. I'm a firm believer that the media will be there until there is an answer because this was "botched" from the beginning when so many watched the news the end of May when Natalee first disappeared.
Posted by: kiminfl | Tuesday, August 09, 2005 at 11:55 PM
Deepak....do you really understand that for the REST OF YOUR LIFE you will be dealing with this supposed "harrassment". Like the other poster's have mentioned, you will be living this hell for the rest of your life. This is an international case & people know who you are no matter where you go. You better believe they will ask you about it & that's if you're lucky that all they do is ask. You really want to look over your shoulder everywhere you go? I wouldn't! I'd come clean & do my time. People would go easier on someone who told the truth. A liar is a liar forever.
If I was Beth, I'd go there & just sit quietly, read the paper, drink a cup of coffee & just make you have to deal with me being there. No harrassment, not in your face but make you have
to live with yourself in my presence. If you have nothing to hide than prove it!
Posted by: just_thinking | Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 12:01 AM
Beth said tonight on Greta that she mentioned the 250,000 reward money to Deepak. He told her that he didn't need the money. Deepak must be making a whopping salary working for the Internet Cafe. Maybe I should leave my job as Computer Lab Teacher and go to work for the Internet Cafe in Aruba. Seriously, it makes me wonder why he's not in jail with his buddy Joran. He didn't tell her that he didn't know where Natalee was, but instead told her that he didn't need the money. I thought Beth used restraint and conducted herself in a reasonable manner in facing Deepak considering all the pressure that she is under.
Posted by: Cathy | Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 12:01 AM
Just a advise Deepak,
you should not think that you can have your life back like that. This case needs closure and you should look for a compromise. Like I said, just an advise..
Imagine your life without a closure. Avoiding dark streets, bars. Being fearful of people looking strangely at you. Strangers that you see too often. There might be nothing to fear but you will never know....
Posted by: Dolphin | Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 12:06 AM
If someone came into my workplace, or most anyone else's workplace - uninvited and unwanted - and was quizzing an employee and causing them to be uncomfortable. most places would have them removed by security, or would call law enforcement to have them removed. They first should be asked to leave voluntarily, unless they have a weapon. Usually they would be barred from returning.
We have security procedures that we are required to follow -- how to handle this type situation. The situation that happened at the Internet Cafe is considered a threat, not just to the person who has been intruded on, but to all who work there or are in the building, and potentially a volatile situation, always with a high alert that the person might go postal.
The only people welcome in the workplace are customers who are conducting business there, legitimate business associates, and family or close friends who come by to see an employee when the employee wanted them to come by and if - and only if - a non business customer is allowed to be there on non business specific reasons.
An employer pays an employee to come to work to perform the functions that they were hired to do. Most employers frown on personal, non work related activity, in the work place, and some do not even allow so much as personal phone calls.
I consider BT's actions totally inappropriate. No matter what Deepak has, or has not, done or knows, he clearly had no interest in having a personal conversation with her. He was at his place of employment working and she interfered with his work. Yes this was harassment. He had his head down and definitely communicated that he did not want her to be in his work space and that they had no business reason for her to be there.
He was correct to file harassment charges to try to prevent this from happening in the future. He should have asked her to leave if she did not have legitimate INTERNET café business. BT was asked if she felt better and she said yes.
This was bullying behavior and she enjoyed causing him discomfort and being viewed as some sort of victor for having done this. There is not victory here and bullies are no heroes as bullying is a coward and cruel.
If she had come to my place of employment, she would never have gotten past the front door security as I would have had to vouch for her and tell them I was expecting her. If I had not wanted to see her, then I would have said to lock her out and that extends to security walking me to my car.
None of the suspects is going to talk to her because from the day she arrived she has been accusing them of harming Natalee and has not let up. Any little thing said or any action is over interpreted or analyzed to support this accusation. If someone sweats too much or acts nervous when accused (a normal reaction by the way when under attack especially if innocent), they are for sure guilty or know something.
I assume this INTERNET café owner has rules of conduct for his business. I don't know if he/she anticipated this one, but I would get he will have some rules developed that include not harassing his employees or distracting them from the work he/she is paying them to do.
People are tip toeing around what happened her because they have compassion for Beth and her desire to know more. People are afraid to say it was way out of line.
Think about it - what would happen if this occurred at your place of work?

Some have accused Beth of grandstanding. If you agree w/ Dan's comment that if this case is ever to be resolved (and I do), the American media will play substantial role in it.
Beth is playing whatever role she needs to in the media for the sake of her daughter. If that means supplying news outlets with "never seen b4 video footage of Natalee" then so be it. If that means confronting Deepak at work to maintain interest in the story, then so be it.
Beth, is obviously willing to have viewers perceive her as antagonistic or worse. She's smart enough to see how the game is played and must know the cold reality is that the media will help...limited to the mercy of its viewership.
Keeping even her most deeply entrenched critics glued to the story, makes it an easier for the media to accomodate her need to broadcast information/direction of the case, make appeals for support, and apply pressure on the ALE to make a credible effort in the pursuit of justice.
Why is it so difficult to respect this mother's personal sacrifices? She knows she's feeding herself to the wolves...again, for the sake of her daughter.
My respect, a piece of my heart, and my prayers are hers.

Posted by: shonane | August 10, 2005 12:17 AM
One female facing Deepak in a public place, in a nonthreaten matter just asking him questions to the whereabouts of her daughter. She was not bullying him, but only trying to get answers that she feels he knows concerning her daughter.
You don't think that what happened to Natalee (one female) by three men was not cowardly and cruel. Nothing Beth could have asked him could compare to what Natalee felt that night...have some feelings for the victim.
Think about it - what would happen if this occurred at your place of work?
Posted by: shonane | August 10, 2005 12:17 AM
I would have asked her to leave and most of all confessed my innocence, but he didn't do that. Why?
Posted by: Cathy | Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 12:46 AM
Think about it - what would happen if this occurred at your place of work?
What would happen in the US and what happens in Aruba are 2 different things. She never caused a scene, made sure she didn't. He made a comment to Beth that people would be surprised to see this side of her, said he didn't need the money, etc. He could have gotten up and walked away from her until she left but he didn't.
Nothing in Aruba has made sense so far to me, except that I think officials in this country are in shady dealings as well, and are afraid of that can of worms being opened as well.

His ratings started downhill when he got caught in his little sexual harrassment escapade and now that Greta has overtaken him, coming from third place in the evenings to #1 on Fox, his goose is cooked. OK, Joe, you can move over to Fox. They need someone to sit in that prime-time seat. The ass has become too big for his chair.
Posted by: angelaberdine | Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 01:43 AM
Oh sure, lots of things make sense in Aruba. Makes sense to me, for instance, that Joran's right where he belongs. Makes sense he and cronies picked a girl out of a crowd and preyed on her, took her willingly or by force, had their way because they can't get women any other way unless lifeless, and then threw her away. Makes sense to me...
Hey, it's no wonder the Kalpoe's and JVDS hate women. Look to their mothers! One mother dumps them at grandma's because..? Because she wants to find herself a man, one way or another. Boys must have resented being an "inconvenience".
And the other mother turns the other way while her husband slithers around the island without her. A boy sees his father abuse his mother and thinks one of two things; she's stupid for putting up with him, or he hates his father for abuseing his mom.
By the sound of things, Joran has very little respect for "mommy" because he placates her with wide eyed bullchit and no doubt has a good laugh with the old man when they're out drinking and gambling together. (I could be wrong, AVDS could be Joan Crawford reincarnate, and in that case, make that Mommy Dearest)"Joran's a sporter, he doesn't do drugs" lol.

I don't think the people in Aruba are as money hungry & greedy as we are here in the States....at least after travling in Europe I know that's true there. Maybe that's why Depok said he didn't need the money. Some people are content with their lifestyle and money is not their god. I would guess the tropical island life is not the same as our dog eat dog lifestyle in the US. I also think Depok was probably afraid to say anything to Beth while she talked for 90 minutes!!!! I wouldn't have said anything to her. Remember he was released for lack of evidence and yet Beth keeps accusing him of rape and murder. He could be innocent but so angry with her rantings that he won't even give her the answers she wants.

Dan,
I see, that the lynching mentality is still embedded in the American culture. Who the hell do you think you are. Deepak Kalpoe has been freed by the authorities. In my humble opinion he is innocent until proven otherwise. I guess that if he lived in the USA, he was now on death row. Shame on you.
Posted by: coconuttree | Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 06:06 AM

Posted by: elan | Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 06:31 AM
patrick - jason is 100 percent correct, YOU'RE WRONG. Beth Twitty did not harass Deepak. In fact, Deepak's complaint is full of lies. He said she threatened him, raised her voice at him and one other thing he said that ARE ALL UNTRUE because it's all on tape. This guy can't even tell the truth over a single 90 minute conversation that is taped. What a tool and big wimp. Seriously, how much of a loser do you have to be to run scared to the police? I bet he had to change his undershorts after his meeting with Beth, probably peed or messed himself. Imagine what he's going to do when he's re-arrested and re-interrogated by real interrogators....HE'LL FOLD LIKE A CHEAP SUIT!
coconuttree - it's obvious a few coconuts have fell from the tree and hit you on the head. The little scrawny internet geek told police "something bad happened." How would he know that? He was in the car when the sexual assaults that Joran admitted in front of several witnesses (according to papers witness statements Beth Twitty has obtained). Go cry me a river somewhere else.

Yes,...this exactly want she is doing...playing for the media. If the 'media' would spend as much time on some of the missing children and adults in our OWN country then many of these cases could be solved. I am sure that many of the families that have missing children are very sadden by all the attention this one family is getting for their missing adult daughter.

Posted by: AVA | Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 07:21 AM
Only somebody with no compassion or soul would state something like that about Beth. She isn't "playing" the media. She "using" the media to her advantage to keep pressure on a case that should have been solved AT LEAST a month ago. Just as the majority of Americans, Arubans and reporters have said, she is courageous and she should be commended for showing such composure in the face of a person who (I'll repeat from above) stated to police "something bad happened" and was present in HIS car when Joran ADMITTED in front of several witnesses he sexually assaulted Joran.
Nice try.
Posted by: Kap | Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 07:28 AM
I meant Natalee. It would be something if Joran sexually assaulted himself. I'm sure he's tried.
Posted by: Kap | Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 07:50 AM
Gsus, I can't believe this! Harassing innocent people with a camera...
There is no person on earth who has been convicted just because he didn't look the judge straight in the eyes. You need strong evidence to put somebody behind bars. Seems to me that this American media hype has sunk to the bottom of the ocean [excusez les mots].
Well, i guess we can't blame her, she's desperate of course. The American networks probably used the poor mother to get more viewers with this breaking news item.
It just makes me SICK
Posted by: casje12 | Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 08:05 AM
How about the following:
1)How about the internet community sending emails to cyberzone in aruba asking for them to post Natalee's poster?
2)If I were the family and friends and I wanted to continue to stay in depaks face, I guess I'd have someone different approach him every few days. Let them file complaints against 10 to 100 different people, might be fun to watch. Although, depak has probably worked his last day there. Keep the "meetings" within Arubas law, but keep the questions in his face.
3) Same for anyone visiting Aruba. Vist the cafe and if depak is there ask him what happened that night, where is Natalee, who harmed her, etc, and ask why the poster is not on the window. Just don't raise your voice, and don't threaten in any way. Just rent some time, and simply talk to him when you are there.
Just a thought..

I think this is a very good idea. Beth confronting D. was a good idea...everytime he appears on camera the world can see and judge for themselves what a dishonable twit he is.
Its pretty funny when you think about what he said about not needing money
How much is he getting paid at the Iternet Cafe? Or should I say How much is he paying the Lawyers?

I think Beth is also making the statement that no matter what happens in court, they are still going to pursue this case until they have closure. Sort of like OJ finding Nicole's real killers...well, not really, but while we are talking about jerks i thought i would throw him in. Deepak, Satish, and Joran should all fear their life if they get off. Since Aruba is a hotbed for drug trafficking, there are some seedy characters somewhere that want to make a buck. These kids' lives will never be the same.
