Reports are coming in that Fox is announcing the re-arrest of the Kalpoes and an individual identified as "Freddie." That individual is known to me as a good friend of Joran Van der Sloot who allegedly stayed over at the apartments of Joran on the night of Natalee Holloway's disappearance as previously reported here and first here.
A news conference should be starting at 10 AM EST.
Update: Some sources are now claiming the arrests or interrogations are related to another potential crime with another victim and not the Holloway case. Also, it is being said that there are two boys along with the Kalpoes now at police headquarters. One is said to be an individual identified only as Freddie, at this time - the other is not known.
The two closest friends of Joran Van der Sloot are said to be the Freddie mentioned above and also an individual named Jamie. It's unknown if Jamie has been questioned in the Holloway case, or included in these latest developments.
This post is also available at Blogger News Network

Freddy is a good friend of Joran's and slept
over Joran's house the night Natalee disappeared

Who cares why they get arrested, as long as they are not on the streets feeling free.

I suspect that Holloway money provided the police mistake in filming Joran as well as the numerous "leads" from Diadario"
For gwb since you asked.
The coincedence of time frames between finding "new" evidence and infusion of money into Holloway camp is one problem I have.
Every time the story died down in the media good old jossey (prehaps on the payroll or prehaps with other motives) unearths a new belt, or a new witness, or a new accuser.
The accident with NBC filming Joran in jail is suspicious to say the least. The law enforcement officer that allowed this is now being investigated by police. I bet results will not be forthcoming. I just smell bribery. I do not think NBC is that stupid or that competent. But Jossey from past experience knows how the system works in Aruba.
It isn't that I don't care. I lived in Birmingham, went to school in MB, and my step daughter was raped and the rapist let go by US court system. The latter gives me some perspective that most do not have. I f it were my daughter I would get either an Isralii or a Mafioso to do the investigation and correction. Both groups can accomplish the necessary that law enforcement never has. I am not equating us Jews with the Mafia although many US Jews were in th business.
If the same things were going on in US there would be a clamor for investigations of bribery on both sides of the question.
Waving a $1MM reward for information and arrest elicits thousands of false leads and liars in the US. It does in Aruba too.

Freddy was questioned early on in investigation
He is many pictures wearing a blue plaid shirt
and Joran has his arm around him in another.

There are MANY articles if you google Mansurs and read about the family.

I think that Freddie is the guy in the picture with Joran , Satish, Deepak and a unnamed guy but on the website www.joranvandersloot.blogspot.com
I read some where that it was freddie. It is the
picture that fox news used alot in the beginning to show all suspects
Posted by: I Know | Friday, August 26, 2005 at 01:12 PM
isnt it interesting that Freddy spent the night at Joran's apt. but was not out with them. do you have a friend spend the night but leave them home alone? i bet he did not spend the night, but they brought him into the story later to be an alibi for Joran.

Ok, so the two brothers were brought in with others, but it has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NATALEE HOLLOWAY CASE. Sure, whatever you say Aruban LE! Really folks, I find that hard to believe it is not in any way related and won't buy that story until we here more details.

Even if is not directly related to the Natalee Holloway case then it may crack open the case. This may all have to do with their so called pimp activities. I hope it helps the Natalee case, maybe now it will break the cone of silent

I will bet three illegal donuts that there will be three more arrests in three days. One of them has the initials S.G.C.
Posted by: Kat_Gram | Friday, August 26, 2005 at 01:44 PM
Things do not look good for Joran. Even if the questioning is relating to other cases, the plan is to tie it into the NH case -- why else would the prosecutor care. I think the police may also put pressure on the Kalpoes to testify against Joran.
Regardless, Observer reminded us last night that Joran confessed to witnessing her murder and helping bury her. Even though the confession may not be signed, I believe it can still be used in court. Why are we still speculating whether she's alive or not and whether Joran is innocent when he's already made the admission?
Please explain intelligently.

daniella
not bored in the slightest
it is time you people woke up to the truth
ever wonder why the theories change daily here and the
riddles pan out to nothing?
or why "credible" people close to the witnesses/family members
or even dan up and disappear from here so often?
surely you have left here doubting yourself a time or two, especially
when he posts private emails or things from scared monkeys and other blogs
that have nothing to do with NH or this case and everything to do with dan's ego.
you are not stupid daniella. most people here aren't. one day pro mountain brook,
next day NH died of an orgasm? no dan is only out for recognition for the career he
never had. remember this all goes directly into the living room he shares with no one
but himself daniella. he himself and "uh-huh"

Island Hopper -
What's your theory of the case in two sentences -- who did it, where is she, will they be convicted?
Posted by: Another Observer | Friday, August 26, 2005 at 02:03 PM
I think there is more that meets the eye in this ... Maybe it will be Steve Croes. Joran didnot act alone. Maybe this breaking notes will
give the answers that are needed. Maybe the similarities in the cases will help
Posted by: cricket | Friday, August 26, 2005 at 02:08 PM
ISLANDHOPPER or whoever you really are, my guess is that most of us reading right now could care less about your attempts to discredit Dan or whatever you attention you have a need for right now, and are here to read what is being reported from any and all sources about this breaking news. You right, most of us are smart enough to take it all in and decide what makes sense. I think most of us feel we don't need you telling us. Leave the bandwidth for more valuable posts.

While I think the blog is a worthwhile endeavor, I can't exactly see Dan rolling in a huge pile of hundred dollar bills from administering it and being on the internet front line of the Natalee Holloway investigation.
Check that ego log coming out of your own eye before you start criticizing Dan's :)
And stop with the caps already, it does not gain you attention, only urges people to ignore you more.

Many here come and go...then come and go...then come and go, YOU'RE BACK! So, what's your point?
Posted by: *flo* | Friday, August 26, 2005 at 02:20 PM
Islandhopper - To be honest with you, I never thought about it that deeply, franfly, I dont have time to... and I really dont know Dan's bio, again, I really dont care what career he wanted/had/has... I just strikly saw this website to be on top of things, report all news to people who care and give them the opportunity to have "grown up" discussions about the news that are reported.
I dont know what someone agenda is, I tell you what mine was/ is... when I heard about the Natalee Holloway case, I wanted to learn more, listened more closley and tried to stay on top of it... so I searched the web to share my point of view with others, who might feel like me and are so desperate to help! - I know that might sound foolish to you, and or others, but I those are my feelings.
In any event, - I look at other blogs as well and sometimes post there as well, they just arent as "active" as this one, so I keep finding myself here.
But in the meantime, I dont think we should waist peoples time by critizing other people here and just stick to the discussion on hand! I think its huge the brothers got arrested again and I think there is lots to talk about... no?

I thought that someone named Max Arend (s) or (z)
was the one at Joran's . Is his nickname Freddie ?
The Kalpoes were arrested in connection with the NH case, PLUS another girl. It is in a release over at SM.
Posted by: Kat_Gram | Friday, August 26, 2005 at 02:50 PM
does any one have links to a bunch of Joran with his friends pictures?
i contacted dave holloway with new information yesterday about a new possible person of interest that i met while i was vactioning down there the first 10 days Natalee disapeered.
i want to see if i could identify him as being close to Joran through photo proof.
thanks for the help.
im not a blogger, but all of yours are very informitave and interesting.

According to Scared Monkeys web site the Kaploe brothers were arrested with the same suspicisons as before but there are new suspicions. In order to rearrest new evidence had to come to light right?

Cricket,
Report says authorities uncovered "new facts and circumstances" So, yes it is based on new evidence. It continues on to say that the brothers were detained on suspcicion of involvement with "unidentified other people". We assume this is Freddie (FA).
Freddie was questioned before it appears early on in the case. It appears that they are finally putting this case together.

Cricket,
Furthermore, the prosecutor went on to say that to arrest them (Kalpoe boys) again "there had to be new facts and evidence".
Posted by: DKF | Friday, August 26, 2005 at 03:20 PM
They were detained on suspicion of involvement, with unidentified "other people," in premeditated murder and rape, the prosecutor's office said.
David Kock, a lawyer for Satish Kalpoe, said he was not aware of the arrest.
Sounds like Satish needs to find another lawyer, or its misinformation on the media's part.
