Dear Greta

Apparently this below is from the Greta Wire today, whatever that is. While I have no knowledge of what she's talking about re Deepak Kalpoe, I find some real irony here. First, that she even wants to keep referring to this tape is laughable; and second - why is she so concerned that perhaps Deepak repeated a rumor he heard, as repeating rumor and unfounded allegations has been her strong suit for six months of increased ratings?

Is her goal to come out of this thing with absolutely no credibility left at all? It saddened me when I heard her reporting on the war in Iraq recently. Given that recent months have proved her inability to be objective, or to be anything like honest with her viewers, she shouldn't disgrace a serious topic like that with her lack of credibility. Her producers should start scheduling juggling midgets, or something a bit more her speed, and befitting her status as a journalist.

A few months ago I was told that the Internet was full of chatter that my husband and Beth's husband Jug were involved in some land deal in Virginia and hence my interest in Natalee Holloway's disappearance. The theme was that I only wanted to pursue this disappearance because of this fictional side business deal. As time marched on, I was told that the rumor on the Internet grew and the land deal suddenly became a very big one and eventually grew to include others from other countries. Since joking privately with my husband about the Internet rumor, I have endured endless teasing from him ("I am thinking of getting a new wife and cashing in on that big land deal I have with Jug... and spending the money on a new wife.") As you might have guessed, my husband has never met — or spoken to — Jug. In short: it's pure fiction.

Now I am told a new twist has emerged: I heard yesterday that Deepak Kalpoe may have told Jamie Skeeters (the polygrapher hired by Dr. Phil to go to Aruba) that I offered him money ($500,000) to do a movie deal with me. We are expecting to get a copy of the tape to see for ourselves what he said. We will keep you updated... keep checking the blog and the show. I am curious how Deepak thought I would pull that off... make the movie on my handycam? And exactly how was I going to hide this from my employer, FOX News Channel? I need to hide it from FOX News since under my contract I work exclusively for them. Any suggestions?

And what about getting others — key players — to sign legal releases so that we could do this movie using their names and likenesses? Would Joran sign off? I don't know... he won't talk to me and now he is in Holland! Beth Holloway Twitty? Jug Twitty? Dave Holloway? Former Aruba spokesperson Reuben Trapenburg? Tim Miller of Equi-search? The many other searchers whose names I don't know and now will have to track down? The chief prosecutor? The judges? The first three men arrested in early June and released? The prime minister? Investigative reporter Tito Lacle? Paul van der Sloot? Editor Jossy Mansur? Attorney Arlene Ellis Schippers? Satish Kalpoe? Satish's lawyer? Deepak's lawyer? Joran's several lawyers? Would they all sign releases or would each of these also demand $500,000? Yikes! This is getting expensive!

I confess I find Deepak's remark curious... why did he feel it necessary to lie about a movie deal with me? Mad at me? Nervous? Got me confused with someone else? While it is certainly NOT proof beyond a reasonable doubt of any guilt, and people lie for all sorts of reasons and even innocent people lie... it does strike me as odd that he felt the need to do it.

Might I suggest it watched some of your coverage and decided it was par for the course? For God's sake, they must have done something during the cosmetic surgery to make sure you can keep a straight face while shoveling this crap.

Well that explains that strange feeling I always get looking at Greta...

[John]

Ironically, with her constant fabrications and inability to deliver unbiased coverage of this story, Greta has made herself the laughing stock of cable news. Even Nancy Grace and Joe Scarborough have moved on.

[cindi in pa]

Cosmetic surgery or no cosmetic surgery, she still talks as though she has something shoved up her nostrils!

------
Presumption of guilt when she doesn't yet know if he said it. Hasn't she learned a thing?

[Ja]

Not belittling her looks, but something does seem normal about the left corner of her mouth, honestly does anyone know what the problem is or is that just normal for her. I had often wondered if she had some type stroke or whatever. Thanks!

[plz]

You guys are being too catty re: Greta. Let's wait & see where this goes. She does include in most segments her panel: Jim, Ted, Bernie & Jeff. They don't appear to cowtail to all of her opinions re: any of the cases she's reported on.

Also, Dan A.& Rita C. are still talking about the tapes & so it goes! Just wanted to elevate this!

[Jan]

Greta has become totally laughable - even after she had Shipper on last nite who heard the tape and who is an attn say that Deepak in no way says anything incriminating and all 3 of her talking heads last nite said the whole thing is a joke now - she continues to blab on about garbage - I am quite sure Deepak never said anything of the kind and if he did it was probably a joke - just as much of a joke as On the Record has become!

[truthbetold]

why she continues to associate herself withthis garbage and why fox does is beyond me...I saw beth on Barabara Walters and for a minute I almost felt sorry for her but then she lied AGAIN.....Barabara showed a small purple backpack by natalee's bed claiming that beth said she has left it there untouched just as it was in aruba in natalee's room.....first you mean to tell me a young girl only took a small backpack to another country for a five day trip? no way........also how could it be just as it was and untouched because beth said on air when she was staying in natalees room that she was wearing natalees t shirt she had been sleeping in in aruba, she also showed a pile of natalees clothing folded in a chair NOT in a suitcase - when asked by Greta if there was any suitcase beth said "I don't know anything about that" I just knwo natalee was all packed to come home" if your daughter was missing the first thing you would do is go through her things to try and find any clue to where she was - how'd natalees medicine get put out on the nightable for the greta show if her bag was never touched? what about her camera? nothing beth says ever matches up

[Ja]

does anyone know what medicine Natalee supposely had with her on trip to Aruba? And, exactly what is the story on the suitcase, please tell me-i've heard mention of a suitcase, but I never seem to catch the story?

[Jody]

Greta has some nerve talking about Deepak lying when Beth lies to her every time she opens her mouth.

And, you can bet that Beth is going to sign a movie contract, as well as a book. But, you won't hear a word from Greta about that when it happens.

[letsbefair]

"Shame on Dr. Phil" - Ted Williams.

Is that how we punish crooks like Phil McGraw? That fabricate evidence in an international criminal case? And use this fabricated evidence as a springboard to call for a nationwide boycott? And what do the Gov's of Alabama and Arkansas have to say about the Dr.'s medicine?

Hows about the FCC kicking Phil off TV, that's what I say! Dan Rather move over, you've got some company...

[letsbefair]

For God's sake, they must have done something during the cosmetic surgery to make sure you can keep a straight face while shoveling this crap.

That's from the Botox. Same with Barbara Boxer and Nancy Pelosi. They could all be in a wax museum and still be alive. (no one would know it!)

[DoorMart]

Its hilarious reading the Beth Bashers. You all have no life.

I am still waiting for Deeperv to sue Dr Phil for slander...hahaha.

Thought that was odd also, you mean to tell me that no officials searched Natalee's belongings for evidence? Is that one of the reasons this case has been mishandled? Did Ms Twitty let officials search Natalee's belongings for evidence?

[Shell]

Right on DAN! Thank God there are journalists with your integrity. If you, Harry Tho', and other objective minds, like Steve Yuhas, to name a few, wouldn't put up with Beth Twitty's lies, and Greta's warped perspective, people would be even further misled by this travesty that's being perpetrated by the media. As it is, most of them have lost credibility by mere association with a lying bunch of hillbillies like the Twittys. Shame on anyone who still falls for their hype, and their twisted campaign to spew hatred on Aruba, out of their own mistakes as parents. I have no doubt that Natalee was in her right mind when she "uttered crazy things" like Mrs. twitty, aka BIG HOOTIE is Hitler's sister's daughter. That fascist, vicious woman is the biggest liar in the world. I don't trust anything that comes out of her lying mouth, and her union with Dr. Phil was a joke. That tape was a fraud. Her boyfriend, Joe Mammano, should be evidence enough what kind of person she is.
While if Natalee did meet with a tragic end, it is heartbreaking, that doesn't give her wicked and toxic mother the right to persecute people, and the way it sounds, she made Natalee's life a living hell. Shame on all those who perpetuate her myths and lies.

[tonto]

MEOW..MEOW...MEOW!!!

[Donna]

Greta protesth to much about her husbands connection to Jug Twitty. This is the 3rd time she has mentioned it! Why?

Now, its a "internet rumor" (meaning she has NO clue who started it) that Deepak stated that Greta told him about a 500 grand movie deal, in exchange for him to make a movie?

Right, Greta.

She put this in her blog, but didn't touch on how manipulation of a tape, IS wrong, and what type of consequences could happen to Dr. Phil, not to mention how it could possibly harm a young man, who may be innocent, OR how it could harm a case IF he is guilty!

Greta, for some reason has NEVER been objective when it has come to this one case.

My question is WHY?

[Donna]

How many of you want to bet, that Jamie Skeeters is in hiding..and will not show his face on ANY network now?

[Donna]

BREAKING NEWS

(for the week of December 5th)

Beth Holloway-Twitty, with her NYC Lawyer John Q Kelley, has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Aruba!

Find out the information on Sunday night at 10pm on Fox News Channel.

(this is my prediction, only)

[Mike]

You know what the sad thing about all this is?

The large left wing in The Netherlands were never supporters of any involment in missions in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Right wing parties always supported The States. Do to all the lying from your media and the call for a boycott there are not so much supporters left of fighting for the US.
Currently there is a discussion about renewing the stay of our armed Forces in Afghanistan and
I think there is little chance the Dutch will stay there.

Not just because of the Holloway case, but i think it helped.

A shame really, but you havent shown yourself to be a befriended nation so maybe it is time you sorted out your own mess.

But i notice more and more you guys get lesser friends over time.

[Donna]

Right, Mike..

But who all do these countries turn to, when they have a need to do so, when they are in need??

Why the "bad" Americans!

Go stuff it.

[lsdoone]

Dan, good points, as usual.
I do think the sharks smell blood. Not in Aruba either.

I hope that once this Skeetergate fiasco gets sorted out, say next summer, journalist real and imagined will not just play them on television.

[Donna]

Boycott Beth Twitty!

Stop the madness!

[Colorado]

Donna,
I'm with you. But I think we should add Greta, Rita, Governors Riley and Huckabee, and now Barbara Walters.

[Jennifer]

I watched Dan Abraham this evning. I could not beleive he could not undestand the difference between what was said on the original taoe & the tape that was sent by Skeeter to Aruba, who have discovere it was tappered with. Splices to make words & sentence appear to have been said. Here, is one of our ex.FBI sticking up for Skeeter, saying that they are the same & what you hear is not the same as being there during hte conversation, Come on, we are not all nuts. What has BT got over all these pople she hires? Why cannot anyone state what is obviously untrue or flaseheads or at least question them? I do not getot other than i know greed & hige $$$$ are in it for all. I am really embarrased by all this, what must the real world think about how dumb a lot of Americans are ?

[INDIANAREDNECK]

Can any one honestly say they understood what Deepak said on the tape last night on Greta' show on FOX. I heard it three times and still can not make out what he says. Waiting for a better copy.

[nelson]

Just don't watch their shows anymore, bring down their ratings and along the way less likely to get a heart attack from watching and hearing these idiots.

[boywonder]

I am still waiting for Deeperv to sue Dr Phil for slander...hahaha.

Dobt forget the the leader of the "lost boys" and Primary Perv Paulus

[nelson]

TRUTH?? she is nowhere close to the truth, wish she was though!!

[boywonder]

Boycott Beth Twitty!

Stop the madness!

Posted by: TuxedoJunction | Nov 30, 2005 6:36:33 PM

I'v also thought that strange. Then, when you read reports of the early days, I believe ALE had concerns about this being a runaway case. Girl runs away with beach bum, or is on a multiple day drug vacation. So, I believe, IMHO, that they did not gather evidence. The parents took custody of her belongings. Just my humble opinion.

[plz]

I LIKE Greta, she breaks her butt trying to keep up with the subjects you guys are sooooo interested in. She is a hard worker and trys to get to the truth. Who gives a flying f-rt what she looks like. Only very superficial people of little substance would care. I guess if she was prettier you'd be saying that's why she gets so much air time. Whatever...you get em Greta!!

Posted by: reality | Nov 30, 2005 7:53:37 PM

Little people with little minds can't appreciate Greta. All they know how to do is belittle inconsequential non-issues ie: plastic surgery & the like. Yet, when it's showtime, they are compelled to tune in & are unable to control their rantings when they don't hear what they want, as evidence by their postings.

[fedup]

I also LIKE Greta. She is only giving us the information we are all pretty obsessed with. We are obviously interested, if not why are we on this site?

[Donna]

I also LIKE Greta...however MY opinion of her on THIS case, is she has lost all objectivity.

A news reporter should be objective. But she has let Beth Twitty, spew on, and has NEVER asked ONCE for PROOF, from Beth, of any of her wild accusations.

[splashtc]

I'm a Greta fan. Do you need permission to reprint her ''wire".

[Scott]

Yeah Donna Like Dan? what a joke!

"A news reporter should be objective. Donna"

[Donna]

I don't look at Dan...as a NEWS reporter.

I look at Dan as a NEWS commentator.

Big Difference....

[Scott]

Hmmm Donna, not according to websters: they are pretty much the same thing... BUT Regardless Dan by his own words considers himself a report because of all the INVESTIGATION he has done... specifically when it comes to the Natalee Holloway case... in any event he is far from being objective:

Reporter
n : a person who investigates and reports news stories

commentator

n 1: an expert who observes and comments on something [syn: observer] 2: a writer who reports and analyzes events of the day

[Jody]

Shell, you took the words right out of my mouth. You have described the situation and Beth to a T.

[Scott]

Shell,

your a lunatic, how many names do you post under anyway?

[flightoffancy]

Greta played her stupid tape of Deepak and he didn't say Greta offered him 500,000 to make a movie with her. So, Skeeter LIED to her or she made the whole thing up. This tape is being used for nothing but lies from the Twitty cult. and the Media whores.

[lionhunter]

So...what was the point of this article, Dan?

Too wary of the hate you'll catch if you even dare go bashing our girl Beth and too afraid to grow a sense of compassion and support her so best not to approach any angle, eh?

[Skye]

Yes, Donna has a life...character assassinating Beth, Greta & others. Maybe she's PMSing or MENTALpausing. Could be she watches too much TV ie: re-runs of Jerry Springer or auditioning for Dan's blog.

You kado, need to get your nose out of the crotch of Fox news reporters. This is a bizarre circus Fox is supporting. Not one fact has been reported, just a whole lot of speculation. Other than FOX, not too many other news outlets even touch this story, simply because there is nothing to report. Half the people I talk to in real life, have no clue Natalee is still missing! That should tell you something. Or do you see this as a major cover-up by the United States and MSM?

Posted by: Scott | Nov 30, 2005 9:54:52 PM

Scott, if your not aware of how bloggs work........maybe you shouldn't even be here. DUH.

[cindi in pa]

If this were my daughter missing, my azz would be singing everything I knew to the US Press, but I sure as hell would not project evidence, without having the proof. That is what really ticks me off. Some of you clowns are willing to crucify these three boys and the government of Aruba, for things you cannot support. Show me the proof, or STFU. Sure hope you and your family members are never executed on the evidence you claim to possess in this case. Christ, you sound like the KKK.

Don't tell me where to put my nose! Fox news may continue their coverage, but the circus started in Aruba! FYI, MSNBC is following the case as well. My associates/friends don't live under rocks and are well informed that NH is still missing. I'd trust the US media over the Arubans.

[meo]

Quite interesting Rita Cosby show tonight
I hope someone here saw it

[INDIANAREDNECK]

Yes I saw Rita Cosby tonight Dave Holloway was on said he has listened to the entire Skeeter tape all two hours. He said there was editing for television but that Deepak did admit to having sex with Natalee. I trust Dave Holloway more than the Dutch and the Arubans
