Previous reports have touched upon the possibility of corruption within the Dutch Justice system as regards the Natalee Holloway investigation.
Now reports from multiple sources in Aruba have suggested to me that that could be one of the ways the Holloway investigation unfolds. In various reports I've received and retained over time while seeking corroboration, several potentially key items have emerged.
Some allege that individuals at Joran's school who could speak to his demeanor and possible statements the day after Natalee Holloway disappeared were purposefully omitted from the investigation when what they had to say may well have been relevant.
Additionally, it has been alleged that Steve Cohen has stated that Joran Van Der Sloot was playing tennis either with him, or near him, the day after Natalee disappeared. It has been alleged that that alibi is false but no effort was made to expose it.
The significance of that potentially ties into recent statements by Dompig which suggest the body may have been dug up and moved after an initial burial. If Joran's whereabouts can not be accounted for that following day, it could have freed up enough time to participate in such activity. Also, note, Joran and Deepak were together at the casino that second night, yet Joran's own statements have indicated that he did not usually hang out with Deepak as a matter of course.
Some believe their being together that second night is, if nothing else, a bit curious. You may also recall that there was a controversy and shake up early on within the investigation.
More than one individual with knowledge of the investigation has suggested that there may well be substance to previous speculations of high level Dutch corruption with regard to the Holloway investigation.


Absolutely! There is a figure on Aruba lets call him a Scientist of sorts. His son is a DJ the Dax. They both have enough knowledge of history and the electronic music or underground scene to know what has happened to Natalee. Why they do not come forward is not exactly clear, but I still think they know the truth.

The one part I'm trying to come to grips with is the involvement of Paulus. I was thinking along your line about his knowledge of the situation, but my gut is now starting to think he may be involved that night, especially if the other two boys were not home.
No eyewitness account of other family members coming out when BHT Group shows up and sirens going off...rumor on three Van der Sloots flying back on Wednesday, June 1st (Anita and two boys).
If he was home alone with Joran, I'm starting to think maybe he was involved more than we know.

TIPS,
At this point there is nothing I would rule out, but the reason I don't think Paulus was involved until after the fact is that EVEN, let's say she had been a virgin and at least two of the suspects had sex w/her, it would be difficult to prove rape or criminal wrongdoing, so a judge w/connections would have worked the system to get the death declared accidental before her family knew what hit them. I also don't think that a judge or an adult would have come up with such a bad and easily debunked first story...its possible he intended for the security guards to take the fall, but why would he needlessly complicate things? better if there were simply no body/no case and no other suspects who might happen to luck out and get a good lawyer.
I believe he coached them after the fact on how to bolster story number one and I believe the beach story is completely from Paulus..since it is impossible to disprove, no cameras, dark and late at night, very hard to prove it is a lie. If this had been Joran's first story the case would have been over from the start, no matter what Beth or Dave thought.
I do think he had to be responsible for moving the body a second time though, since the 3 nitwits are not smart enough to have done such a professional job of it.

Here are my thoughts on "why" I believe he may be involved that night...
1. I believe he helped with the HI story. I don't believe Deepak and Joran came up with this on their own. I agree that the story had holes, but I do not believe Paulus is the sharpest person.
2. I don't believe the younger brothers were at home.
3. The following night, he comes to the door, suposedly from being awakened by the sirens. He has a cell phone in his front pocket (everyone sleeps with their cell phones...right). No mention of other children being in the house or awakend by the sirens.
4. He brings the "Casino" into play the second night and says that is where Joran was. In Joran's interview with Greta, the description of the 2nd night is key and where was he when he received the call from Dad. Where did Deepak park? What happened to the other friends he was gambling with?
IMO - Paulus was involved night #1 and knew full details when BHT shows up.

I believe PVDS is involved too. He said he has to protect his son. And I believe he would do anything to protect Joran. "No body, no crime". Truth is "get rid of body, no proof of Joran's crime" and that is PVDS part in it.

I just don't see it, the van der sloots have gone to enormous lengths to 'normalize' all of Joran's past behavior, he's a sporter, blah, blah, blah, all the girls love him, blah, blah, blah, if the father was having group sex w/Joran and his friends, why would they bother pretending that its normal for h.s. boys to be in therapy for aggression, and so forth?
The HI story was stupid for multiple reasons...too much detail, too many places where witnesses could have seen them, and why would you place the victim back at her hotel when you knew she never made it there? I don't see this is as being an 'adult' or 'rational' story, but a story made up by 3 immature guys who were just thinking 'let's make this someone else's problem..someone else who was the last to see her'...
The only way I can see Paulus having been involved from the very beginning is if Natalee was murdered, not just died but was murdered and he himself was shaken up enough that he wasn't thinking straight yet and hadn't expected the family or police to arrive so soon...and that is the reason the alibi didn't hold up.

Posted by: IMHERE | Tuesday, April 04, 2006 at 01:41 PM
Reposting my post from a month or 2 ago. That 2nd night does seem strange.
Charles Croes seems to be a pretty straight shooter. I recently reread his interview with Greta from 6/30. My thoughts below.
One night later, Charles Croes goes to a beach that sounds near or perhaps the same one that Joran left Natalee, Sees 3 cars at approx 2:00am. Is it just dumb luck that he found young kids and cars near the beach that night? So one night before, nobody was out besides Joran? No local who could possibly vouch for Joran being at the beach or not? Or even hear Deepak's loud car coming and going at least twice. Wonder if these kids were ever questioned as to their whereabouts the night before, just to add or take away from Joran's story. And pretty neat that they knew Croes was talking about Joran once he described Deepak's car. Joran did tell Greta that he was never at the beach alone with Deepak and Satish before. And that he knew Deepak from 2 to 4 months.
Then, Paulus is slow to answer the door when the police arrive. Could be he's a sound sleeper, as he never heard Deepak's loud car pull up three times the night before (and Joran claims he heard Deepak's car halfway down the beach). It takes a knock, a beep of the police car, and several sirens, and then finally Paulus responds. Maybe he wasn't decent and needed to put on his boxers? Who knows, but seems slow to answer the door. Did Paulus when he heard the sirens try to contact Joran before answering the door? To determine if he was in his apartment asleep? To alert him? After answering the door wonder if he checked his apartment for him, and since he indicated he wasn't sure where he was (thought perhaps Wyndam playing poker), why didn't he contact Joran at that point via the cell phone to find out where he was? Did he try? Would seem to be a logical thing to do. Ok, in a casino, phone maybe wouldn't go thru, but why not at least try to contact? Ok, so he decides to later call Joran presumably from where...the police car? Anyway, he reaches him outside the casino, and somehow it's misinterpreted and Joran goes home while the rest of them expect to meet him at the casino?

maybe she didn't get into a car with 3 men who were "strange" afterall...but, always the soldier, Deepak continued to tow the company line and said that that was exactly what she had done

I would love to see the "Casino" video from the next night...IMO - if JVS and Deepak are involved in the death of a girl and possible moving of a body, they are not out with another group of friends the next night.
JVS says he is playing poker with another group of friends...where was he playing? when did he get there? was Deepak at work the next afternoon at 3:00pm like the story goes? Did he work until closing?
Too many trails and alibis for the ALE not to be able to piece this together, especially if these clowns were the ones out moving the body the next day.

If Dompig believes they went back to the VS house, why can't they get a search warrant for the complete property? Makes no sense, unless there was a coverup?
ALE didn't have any problems arresting a couple of innocent security guards or searching their houses, yet they can't seem to convince the judges that a search warrant for the Sloot house is reasonable...

The whole VDS property search is beyond insane. Since Joran has access to the entire property and since he never even admitted Natalee was on the property AT ALL the same rationale for allowing a search of his particular quarters...looking for evidence, should reasonably have included the entire house and grounds. Since he refuses to admit Natalee was ever in his apartment, logically, the search warrant would have allowed either a complete search of the property or no search at all.
More Aruban b.s. and corruption.

I am speculating only of course.
Posted by: IMHERE | Tuesday, April 04, 2006 at 02:07 PM
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 Voking was identified. There were several other legal type people there.
If the ALE had pushed to search the VDS main living area there would have been legal injunctions and a search at that time would have been prevented. Paulus is a legal nit picker and there was some issue whether the search warrant covered the entire property or just Joran's apartment.
Because they felt that Joran would not have taken her to the main area, they caved.
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 also don't think that Deepak and Satish know where the body is. I am not sure about Joran, probably not, but he knows who did the cover up.
With so much at stake, the less those three knew the better .
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.

I stick with the Keep it Simple Stupid theory, which leaves us two alternatives, Joran left Natalee alive on the beach or Joran and K2 are responsible for Natalee's disappearance. The mob, drug dealers, sex traffickers and all the rest of those angles are irrelevant.
Since I don't believe anyone tells as many lies with as much gusto as Joran has, and I don't believe you recruit third parties to corroborate false alibis that are to cover up embarrassment only, I don't believe the suspects are innocent.
That leaves me with the suspects are guilty of directly harming Natalee and causing the death and disappearance of Natalee Holloway, the question remains, exactly what did they do to her and where was she put.

I'm going to post this yet again. The well on the van der Sloot property was cemented over shortly after Natalee disappeared. Before it was cemented, Paulus almost stroked out when it looked like it was going to be searched. An Aruban judge wouldn't sign a warrant, but if someone had nothing to hide, they would have allowed it to be searched. Knowing his buddies wouldn't let it be searched, Paulus covered it just to be sure. I think records from any place that sells concrete mix should be checked from May 30, 2005 til about two weeks after Natale went missing. If Paulus purchased some, make him show where he used it. Of course, he could have already had some. Does anyone remember Joran getting new furniture a few days after May 30? A new mattress, perhaps? I think Natale was raped & murdered at Joran's apt. and disposed of by Paulus. "No body, no case" because the body is at the bottom of the well..

I think the whole "thing in Aruba" has been fueled by the fact that Natalee disappeared in Aruba never to be seen or heard from again and that the Arubans have been at best, totally incompetant.
I don't think its plausible AT ALL that Joran left Natalee alive on the beach, recruited K2 to lie for him, K2 recruited someone else to lie for him, he then turned on K2 and said they were the last to be w/Natalee and lastly determined that first Deepak and then Satish picked him up at the beach.
All of these lies..and this is the tip of the iceburg...to cover up EMBARRASSMENT?
