Appearing On The Record tonight with Greta Van Sustern, Van Der Sloot attorney Joe Tacopina insisted that hotel records showed the precise room key that Natalee Holloway was given was used in her hotel room a few times early in the morning after her disappearance - at 3:22 and 3:26 AM.
It's possible this was the reason for checking DNA on a toothbrush early in the investigation. It is also possible that though there may have been individually coded keys, a roommate actually used the one initially given to Natalee at check-in.
More information would have to be known to conclude the key was used either by Natalee, or someone who took it from her. If other early reports suggest her roomates were down at the pool, it would be interesting to note that ealier speculation held that one of the two security guards arrested was said to have items possibly stolen from tourists in his possession.
Unfortunately, none of this is presently confirmed.


The key in question was also used at 1:26 A.M. That would seem to negate Natalee having used the key as she would have left the bar in Deepak's car only moments earlier. Greta mentioned that the 1:26 A.M use had soured her on the significance of the two later uses. However, in the same segment Tacopina mentioned that he had somebody on tape saying they saw Natalee in her room AFTER 3:00 A.M. and that this person is known to Aruban law enforcement. He also mentioned that in the transcripts of the early interrogations of the main suspects, which he had to sue in court to get from the Aruban LE by the way, there were numerous leads that ALE could or should be following up on. I got the idea from Tacopina's tone that he didn't think much if any of these leads were properly followed up on or investigated. If the civil case against Joran should get that far Tacopina could use this to raise serious doubts about any culpability Joran may have by laying out all the possibilities that have not been properly investigated by ALE.
As an aside I find it somewhat humerous that Joe Tacopina has managed to get himself ensconced smack in the middle of the biggest missing person case since Lindbergh's son. What kind of a name is Tacopina anyway, it sounds like a drink you would order in Cancun or maybe Tijuana.

Joe Tacopina is a good Italian name. However, from this case forward he will always be known as
Taco Joe, nothing derogatory intended, but blog typing requires speed, and maybe he can be called JT, just like we have shortened references to John Q. Kelly by calling him JQK, and i would prefer just referring to the attorneys as JQ and JT in order to lessen the typing load.
What is noted, it that if the use of electronic key cards in a multi-guest room involving the comings and going of teenagers is going to be his opening blockbuster revelation in this case, it shows that he does not have much right now, and the "tell" on that, is jumping on the "beat up Dompig wagon" as a way to let him flap his gums with Greta, IMO.
Wishing you all a good day (i have to go to work today, yeah, i know, work is no fun compared to this blog)
THANKS DAN, you Blogger of the Year.

Rough translation with assistance from babelfish. Still needs work.
' Joran is a delicious boy ' by Floor Ligtvoet Thursday 30 March 2006 - For many Americans Joran Van der Sloot is guilty, no doubt about it. He was the last to see Natalee Holloway in Aruba before she disappeared without a trace and is thus considered to have assassinated her. He is big news for the American television broadcasters, but who is Joran really? From what kind of nest does he come? - Portrait of a rebellious adolescent who plays fast and loose with the truth.
"Wanna have a good time?" a small, bloated Aruban with a yellow cap roars into the microphone. Around him on the dance floor, five hundred slightly high young people let it all hang out. Most come from America. It is ten at night and the peak time to be amused in the popular bar Carlos n Charlie's in Oranjestad that is synonymous with drink games. Super fast five little girls in summery skirts and very thin shirts are lifted up on the podium. They get tequila shots and mugs of beer handed to them. .Then they must wiggle their ass twice to get the next beer and tequila shot. Soon the first little girl starts to totter. The public crows with pleasure. Out of this bar the previous year Joran led the Alabama blonde Natalee Holloway. Now the American is already missed almost year. Joran is the last known to see her. For this reason the police force considers him as a chief suspect in her disappearance. Joran did not improve matters for himself by lying to the police force.
After some flirting at Carlos n Charlie's and necking in the car, he explained, he brought Natalee back to her to hotel. Instead he left the little girl alone on the beach, he later admitted. The American media jumped on an all out hunt for Joran. Weekly photographs and old video of the Dutchman filled the American news shows. He is called a liar, a rapist, and an assassin. Joran's possible involvement in Natalee's disappearance proves to be a ratings hit. In one go the seventeen-year-old adolescent is world-famous. Who he is and from what kind of a nest he comes, is well known. Still for Anita van der Sloot, Joran’s mother, in the family house in the rural district of Noord where the dog smells the visitor before the gate opens. "Quiet", Anita quiets the loudly barking dog, "It is OK." The small blonde woman enters to a large dining table to sit. She is really not in the mood to talk. The family has already had so much crap poured out about them. But the flow of rumors concerning Joran does not stop. A day earlier a high-level police source whispered anonymously, that joran had been treated for lying. Nonsense, asserts Anita firmly. Her son has undergone only counseling to improve his study habits. Jorans father, former judge in training Paul van der sloot arrives after a long workday. Tired, he gives a deep sigh: "Joran lies no more than every other adolescent." Paul wants rest at home. The family has the last year stood under enormous pressure, he complains. Their oldest, Joran, is surely not an angel. Every detail from his personal life is entirely taken out of context. "We must refer to the disappearance not the murder." He talks gently and in a controlled way concerning his child, but Anita excites herself concerning the bad tales that circulate on the island. Joran gambling - and sex-addicted? He is simply a delicious youth! A delicious adolescent, who lives for friends, sport, and family. Oké, he has adolescent traits. Not always sticks to his appointments. If he is supposed to be home at one at night her turns off his cell so his parents can't call him. If he gets in trouble later, he gives his concerned mother three thick kisses. They don't have to worry, he is home now. Anita is enraged that her son is accused of rape. "He was in fact very loving with his girlfriends" Joran had always many little girls around him but the contact was frequently only friendly, she says. "They went with each other for as a brother and sisters" Paul wants to show Joran's room. However., friends, both little girls and boys, could always spend the night he says as he crosses the garden to the outbuilding. Since he was 15 Joran had here, beside the swimming pool and at a reasonable distance of the parental house, his own bedroom and bathroom. Paul opens the door carefully. "Look, here slept four or five during the sleepovers. It was always completely normal. On Aruba it is normal to sleep over at someone else's place. Minors are on the island entirely dependent on parents or friends with a driver’s license pick up and bring them. During a conversation in Arnhem Joran says he was always super-glad have his own room. “The privacy was very fine, especially if there were friends." Of course he had also ordinary friendships with girls, says he as he hears his parents reaction. "One girlfriend slept ten times in my bed without ever something happening between us." Attraction must come, as it happens, however, from two sides, finds he. If that is the case, however, he does not see, honestly said, the problem. Joran was already from age 14 having sex with girls. Also American. "On the island there lives a little the feeling that they are easy. There are guys who go to the beach to hook up with them. He has done that himself "but” he emphasizes, "I have always treated them with respect." So if the girl does not want sex, then OK, its back to the hotel." It should have been that way with Natalee but she wanted to stay on the beach, he says. Thus he left her behind. Joran has always affirmed he did not have sex that fatal night with natalee because he that evening had no condoms on him.
Typical Joran, says Aruban Melody Granadillo (19). The little girl with long dark brown rolling curls is his ex-girlfriend. In their eight month long relationship they always used condoms. "He is completely clear on this." The Dutchman was her first love. For months on end they spent every day with each other. Taking a mouthful of ice, she gestures to the green Wilhelminapark bordering the sea. There they could sit interminably and talk. I know him better than he knows himself. Joran is playful, in his heart a child. A possible assassin? No, that never. Joran is often misunderstood she observes. Take his openness: "people take it as flirting." His friends also found him arrogant. That is not him according to her. He is only self-assured. Walks straight up, head high. Eventually Melody broke the relation because Joran was unfaithful.
Magda, administrator of the Aruba Racquet club, shrugs her shoulders. That is the mentality here. If it clicks with someone, it happens simply, even if you already have a girlfriend. Aruba seems like a village where, via-via, everyone knows everyone. Every week a new cargo of anonymous tourists arrives at Reina Beatrix field that want celebrate only. For numerous young, sexy American girls Aruba is the party island is where they forget their sores. As long as the holiday lasts, the world of drink games and flirts is the reality. Local boys, such as Joran, have this party culture available seven days per week. Seduction always lies in wait. On the gravel fields of the Raquet club boys beat their tennis balls rock-hard over the net. For Joran the tennis association, where mainly Dutch come, was a second home. After school he spent much of his time playing soccer, tennis and swimming. He was a spontaneous, nice kid, says Magda. "Although he could be quite obstinate and tenacious." She is reminded what Jordan’s friend thought. The restrained themselves with Joran when they were tired of arguments. Joran is a good talker, dominates nearly nearly everyone, ' but also slicks', laugh Melody.
That is my strength, Joran knows. Talking "I frequently get what I want done." Convincing debate is what I learned at the International School, according to his mother. Joran applied that art also at home, and with impact. He wanted once to go to the casino, but his father was then opposed. There rose spicy arguments, after which Paulus accompanied his son to the casino and eventually brought he him weekly to free poker tournaments (a game which is not played with money) in many casinos
At all hours of the day Arubans in the casino run money through the many fruit machines (slots). Tourists play especially blackjack - or poker tables. Joran’s father thinks initially that his son does not participate in the poker tournaments for the gambling but for the pizza they served during the breaks. You can then eat for free all you want. Joran started staying and coming home with a friend. Then he could stay away at llonger, and really gamble. His father later realizes this and is bewildered. "I had no idea that Joran gambled also in the real casino." His parents try constantly to find a balance in raising their children, they say. "I am perhaps something stricter than Paul", says Anita, "but as Paul and I both say ' no' and the children come with good arguments, then they know that we are open for a solution." Joran is proud of that. “My parents try to see everything also from our side. I have always found that good of them.“

Harold, Dan could not even be near be allowed to stand in Harry's shadow. Dan is just bashing whatever come on his road. This is the problem with conservative Americans these days. The NH case has been on big mega media campaign to coverup for the scams in 9-11,Irak, New Orleans, Bush jr., Jack Abramoff etc etc This case has many relations to politics, industry, media business etc But what do you care!!

I would like to see the tapes of the hotel where JT said the key was used.
Who was on those tapes at that time?
At a hotel lots of people just throw there keys on the cresdenza and if some one leaves just picks on up on the way out. Should also check who did not use a key am morning.
Or did someone take her key after the events to cover stuff up.

People, read this:.......
"Joran lies no more than every other adolescent." Paul wants rest at home. The family has the last year stood under enormous pressure, he complains. Their oldest, Joran, is surely not an angel. Every detail from his personal life is entirely taken out of context. "We must refer to the disappearance not the murder."

"Look, here slept four or five during the sleepovers. It was always completely normal"
Herein lies the nucleus of the Joran's problems. These parent's are in absolute denial (atleast publically) of their child's problems. Sleep overs? Five or more "as brothers and sisters"? He was 15 years old! With his own place? (picture the cover to the movie "Home Alone", that's my face right now)

Could you be somewhat more specific????
Posted by: TJ | Wednesday, April 05, 2006 at 09:28 AM
Dave Holloway already discusses this in his book and discounts what that idiot Joe T says. The guy is a buffoon. He stated that an exact key was given to Natalee....what a reach....all hotel keys look the same and there is no way in telling who had whose room key. He also contradicted himself in stating that video surveillance didn't show anyone entering that room at the stated time. The guy is desperately seeking attention for himself and trying to make as much money as possible from this case. His ONLY job is to make sure the civil suit is thrown out in NY. He has no business delving his sorry ass into this case.
Posted by: df | Wednesday, April 05, 2006 at 09:31 AM
From last night:
Joe T. says NO ONE showed up on Hotel video of hallway. 3 cards assigned to room. Keys get put in a pile in the room -- you grab one each day (not necessarily the one given to you personally at check-in.)
Joe T. says video (made in last 2 weeks!) has someone claiming it was Natalee. PLEASE!
Now step back and think again. IF all these things are true -- this is first day investigative stuff. Don't you think any credible investigation would have checked this out from the very BEGINNING??? (Well, gee -- what am I thinking -- a credible investigation?? -- Don't think so.)
A better question is -- which of the original 3 cards got returned at check-out?? The one used at 3:30am???
Too ridiculous!

If the key was used around 1:30, doesn't that mean it couldn't have been Natalee since the 3 suspects all admit she was still with them at this time? Doesn't that obviate the entire line of thought that it could have been Natalee any of the times?

Florida Patty, this is just Van der Sloot bashing which Scared Monkey has been doing for 10 months now. Ridiculous, who were the 4 MB kids who did not want to be interrogated by ALE/FBI??? These are very lousy American citizens like you are. What is at stake: finding Natalee or bashing the Van der Sloots and the Kalpoes. All threads have to be followed and not just the VdS/K thread. Why not investigated the 2 security guards again. Why had they stuff of the MB kids which were not reported to the police? Were the MB kids getting drugs for it. All questions that have not been investigated because holy Beth 'knew it' all... I am fed up with this case which has been sidetracked by the Twitties from the start. They wanted it solved without involving ALE. Patty, you suck with your big mouth. Please stay on SM weblog with them low-IQ'ed eggheads who keep repeating the same Joran etc mantras without dealing with critical questions that can be raised to HMI's acting and slandering.

The police are in charge of their own investigation, you cannot blame the victim's mother for their inadequecies.
As far as MB students possessions being in the homes of the two guards I don't think that was ever verified, and I highly doubt that anyone from MB would need to trade their cameras for drugs, pretty sure they all had access to plenty of money.

He's a defense attorney, what do you think he's going to say? Hey, yeah, my client is guilty but you can't prove it, ha, ha, ha?
The defense always says 'some other guy/gal did it' and then they lay out their bizarro scenario whatever it may be, Columbian drug dealers killed Nicole, not OJ, homeless cult members killed Laci, not Scott...dummies sometimes believe them.
I don't doubt that every mistake that could be made in this investigation was made, but I also think the truth still lies with the last people seen with Natalee who lied from the get go, and are still lying today.

JL,
I thought that for a while as well, and I don't totally discount it, but I've come to think that the Arubans are just too stupid and inept to be able to cover up some kind of mammoth porn/rape party ring type of thing.
Even the Dutch are now publicly criticizing Dompig and the investigation, saying it was "strange" and how odd it is to fail to act on tips about a body location right away...
So, I have come back to the idea that a few people did help VDS, including at least one of the judges, Smid, but that what Aruba is doing now is just massive damage control and trying to keep that truth hidden, that need combined with their ongoing inability/refusal to recognize just how bad at police work they are has created this nightmare.
I don't believe they are smart enough to pull off a cover up of anything really important....

I don't know, I didn't think so at all, in fact thought people were crazy for believing it, but when Kelly didn't rule it out...I don't know.
Again, you WOULD THINK that the ALE would have definitively determine whether or not this guy is VDS and that all parties would have been informed so that Kelly wouldn't need to be speculating, but of course that would entail some basic police work, like asking the suspects and witnesses to ID the guy, and ya know, what with all of his media appearances and his meticulous planning for his dune search he must not have time.

There are no FREE Texas-Hold'em Tournaments in the Holiday Inn Excelsior Casino, as Joran stated. In fact, the tournaments have $25 buy-ins. The Tournament on Sunday's starts at 4:00 pm, and you cannot substitute players at any time.
Joran stated that he and his father were there together at this tournament and Paulus had to go home because his little brother was home alone Joran then stated he took his father's spot in the tournament, which would be considered 'substituting players' and that is obviously against tournament rules.

boorish words from the homelande
Posted by: jackson80 | Wednesday, April 05, 2006 at 11:12 AM
The room keys :
So what ? He would not say if that key was turned in the next day. Trying to deflect attention away from the Sloots.
Alana Jordan has a my space. just go to myspace and type in her name.
At Scrux, they have ( I don't know where they get these things ) they have many emails to and from friends discussing what the situation was outside C & C's, and the last time she spoke to Natalee and just how quickly Natalee
must have been hustled off into the car.
Deepak said that he was parked in the back of C & C's, no other cars. He left when they announced the last call for drinks and went to the car by himself. He even had the door open, so he says.
There was quite a crowd waiting for taxi's and Joran and Natalee were standing together. Alana understood that Natalee was going with the other group back to the Holiday Inn. Natalee never expressed any other intent.
Alana has never waivered in what she has said.
She sounds like a straight arrow kind of girl and she is credible to me.
There is a part of that night that I can't confirm :
That is the part about some of Natalee's friends seeing her in the car going in a northery direction and telling her to get out of the car.
Deepak's emails to a friend are a repeat of the HI lie, but one thing that he mentions is that he NEVER STOPPED the car after they got going. There was a story that he made a stop at Moomba's ? Why would this insignificant little detail be so important to Deepak that he has to affirm it ?
The more I dig around and read, the more I believe that they had a plan for Natalee
( or any other girl ). Both Joran and Deepak say that they had done this many times before
and nothing had happened.
Did Anita really think that they were making sure that the tourist girls got back to their hotels safely ? Anita must be looking at Joran as maybe he was when he was five years old and still a baby.

I've always said you don't show up a half hour before closing expecting to successfully pick up a girl unless your plan is to find a girl so drunk she doesn't know what she's doing, which was their MO and their plan all along. Whether they picked Natalee because she was super drunk, whether Joran picked her because of his thing for blondes, or for another reason, and whether or not they drugged her, we don't know. But I absolutley believe they came to C&C to pick up a drunk girl and all have sex w/her.
Posted by: xxx | Wednesday, April 05, 2006 at 11:47 AM
After the case is closed, there is a mechanism
to have the investigation looked into in Holland. JQK is the one that would do that.
That does look like Paulus. He was in the casino that day and he could have been there at 8:30 .. 9 ish.

And they probably had a "Larger" group than the three amigos that participated in these activities...but where did they typically go? This is basic detective work that DOMPIG should be able to handle and figure out.
I don't believe "Locals" took the tourist girls to the beach...just doesn't make sense.
TIPS
Posted by: Truthinplainsite | Wednesday, April 05, 2006 at 11:51 AM
WHY would you take a girl to the beach when you have your own apartment? You wouldn't, it's totally illogical, nevermind that sex on a dark and sandy beach with no blanket is not actually going to be too enjoyable for either person.
I think they took girls to either houses or hotel rooms that friends/etc. comped for them.
I've also always believed that EVERYONE that knows Joran, K2 and the rest of the pimp gang know exactly where they typically took these tourist girls and know exactly where they most likely took Natalee that night.
Posted by: xxx | Wednesday, April 05, 2006 at 11:55 AM
The way that Deepak's car is in the back... tourists are in the front. You could do this so fast and it would lead to no witnesses seeing a girl get in a car. The girl herself
might have a hard time id 'ing Depak as he wasn't hanging around with Joran in the bar.
Getting back to the cover up theory, I am also beginning to think this might be a truth.
And another thing, Joran was arested AFTER his exams. Do you think some strings were pulled there so he could finish his year ?
Posted by: Kat_Gram | Wednesday, April 05, 2006 at 12:02 PM
Absolutely, they were hoping that the sporter could avoid any arrest at all, at least until after his graduation and graduation party, but the media outrage about the security guards being arrested when one of them had an ironclad alibi forced them to finally arrest the sporter and K2.
The whole thing is sickening. There has to have been some type of cover up because NO ONE can be this stupid for this long, it simply isn't possible that all of these mistakes, media interviews, lost witnesses, etc. are the result of simple incompetance.
Posted by: xxx | Wednesday, April 05, 2006 at 12:08 PM
"Whether they picked Natalee because she was super drunk,"
Seems to me they changed their plans or at least Joran did after seeing her in the casino.
Posted by: tester | Wednesday, April 05, 2006 at 12:10 PM
Joran expessed little or no interest in Natalee until last call when he, being the kind of gentleman he was bought her a 151.
1/2 an hour before closing time is just enough time to find a girl who is not hooked up with another date.

I don't think JVS went to C&C's to meet NH, I believe he went there to see another one of the MB girls...and NH fell into his lap so to speak.
My guess is that another MB girl was also interested in JVS...

The whole thing is sickening. There has to have been some type of cover up because NO ONE can be this stupid for this long, it simply isn't possible that all of these mistakes, media interviews, lost witnesses, etc. are the result of simple incompetance.

seems to me that the Twittys reached this point a long time ago and called for a boycott. Meanwhile the pro Joran forces were on this blog calling the Twitttys every name in the book.

Jackson 80 , I agree with you about the Twitties and the rest of the family reaching this point ages ago. The only hope is for more people from the ALE to go on " vacation " and let Holland take over.
I get angry about his case. Imagine what the family is going thru.
LE from Holland who don't have a history with anyone from Aruba.

The Refugees and their ilk are so full of hate and jealousy that they don't care about the truth AT ALL, they want it to be Natalee's fault, Beth's fault, Mountain Brook's fault. They can't stand the idea that there are actually nice, good looking affluent people who become victims of tragedy....sooo, they had to turn Natalee into a drunken drugged up tramp, all of her friends into horrible, drunken, drugged up liars and tramps and thugs and her entire family into horrible people out for money and fame who should be sued into bankruptcy....
They are all contemptable.

I went to refugess and freedom of blog and I won't even go there to read. I bookmarked Moonshadows story and that is about the only thing I would go back there for. But I can just look at the little story and ignore the rest.
It is pretty evil and I am glad that I don't know any of those posters. This blog has a more balanced view and I do post once in a while over at SM, but not more than five - six times.

if you recall, that is what the Twittys asked for prior to the boycott because they erroneously assumed that the Dutch were operating in good faith. The Twittys asked for a meeting and a new investigative team and a new prosecutor. When the Dutch didnt budge, that was the test to show that the whole deal was in bad faith so then they asked for the boycott, hired an attorney and let the chips fall where they may.
Now we have Taco Joe dissing Dompig, so, to me, Taco Joe is saying the same thing the Twittys said about the investigation and Taco Joe is actually supporting the Twittys position on ALE activities. IMO

XXX ;
So the other person would have no idea where you lived / just in case it was NOT consentual.
WHY would you take a girl to the beach when you have your own apartment? You wouldn't, it's totally illogical, nevermind that sex on a dark and sandy beach with no blanket is not actually going to be too enjoyable for either person.

it wasnt until Joran came on Greta and every lie led away from the beach that the great sleuths and dick tracys here on this blog began to understand that the beach story was just a story. i will never get over all the wasted effort by people here talking about how dark the beach was, and how close the water was to the beach, and whether the beach was sand, or sand or rocks...........No Bleep Sherlocks, they never went to the beach.................that nite.
