Joran admits it, but says it was a lie?

/in /by

Gretawire is reporting:

(AP) — Dutch student Joran van der Sloot said in a television interview Friday that he had told a friend privately he was involved in Natalee Holloway’s disappearance, but that he was lying.Van der Sloot’s comments on Dutch television show “Pauw & Witteman” came after reports that a crime reporter had captured him in an apparent confession. He was reported to have been caught by a hidden cameras saying Holloway had died after having sex with him, and that he then dumped her body at sea with the help of a friend.

Trend News also has a similar story on their website:

Dutch youngster Joran van der Sloot has allegedly admitted involvement in the death of American girl Natalee Holloway, Dutch public television reported Friday citing a video confession that had been filmed secretly by a friend.

If this is true, Joran Van der Sloot is beyond arrogant to think he will be believed. I am sure most people will be repulsed by such arrogance, if news reports are correct. No innocent person in their right mind would ever do this after all the hell Joran has supposedly been through.

Hopefully, police will have enough, at minimum, try him in a court of law.

Joran Poses for Photo After News?

/in /by

An anonymous commenter just left the following comment:

No more news, but it’s remarkable how Joran reacts. He went to a discotheque in Arnhem (where he’s studying) after the news of the tape became public, and that’s where this picture was taken. Baffling.

I translated the text under the photo with Google Translator, and I used my German where it didn’t translate to figure out what it said. It says:

Joran van der Sloot (middle), twice suspect in the case of Natalee, in a discotheque Arnhemse on Thursday night. The photo has been sent to the press agency ANP.

If Joran does, in fact, know about the show airing this Sunday, and this is his response, I wonder if he feels it isn’t enough to convict him. Does he know the news here in this photo? That is the question.

Peter de Vries Promo

I saw this link over at Steve Huff’s blog in the comment section. It’s a preview to the show that will air on Sunday in the Netherlands and in Aruba.

I am just wondering why Joran hasn’t been arrested yet. If he isn’t arrested before the show airs, there is more to the story than what we know again.

I got a link to the website of the AD the biggest paper in the Netherlands. Where there also is the link to the page of Vkmag.com. This is an article about the case. I will translate the article at my best.

The headline says ‘Joran confesses murder on Holloway‘

Amsterdam-Joran van der Sloot possibly has confessed the murder on Natalee Holloway. This will appear in an interview between Peter R de Vries and Aruban prosecutor Hans Mos. A clip of the interview has leaked out on the internet but the link to the video has been removed from the website of Peter R de Vries, Vkmag.com, a weblog that discovered the text, has published a screenprint of there foundings.

On this weblog you can read a conversation between de Mos en de Vries about a hidden camera confession from van der Sloot. Mos says that the video inducted a re-opening of the case. De Vries could have solved the murder on Natalee Holloway with this.

De Vries has returned from Aruba last weekend, where he had informed the Aruban authorities on his findings.

The justice department on Aruba are now investigating the new clues on the case, and have said that the new information had also come from Peter R de Vries.

‘This information can in considerable extent lead too the solving of this case’ says the justice department.

The solution on the case is thanks too a hidden camera action which Peter R de Vries had worked on for 2 months.

The mother of Natalee Holloway, Beth Twitty is in the Netherlands on invitation of Peter R de Vries. She has been notifyed today by Peter R de Vries of his break-through.

SBS6 will broadcoast a special 2 hours during edition on sunday night 21:30, which will have a detailed final end of this mysterious disapearance.

New Holloway Evidence?

/in /by

The Associated Press has released news today that Aruban prosecutors are looking at new evidence brought to them by crime reporter Peter R. de Vries, the man who Joran Van der Sloot tossed wine at a few weeks back.

Information from reporter Peter R. de Vries may help resolve what happened to the American teenager, who vanished during a May 2005 school vacation to the Dutch Caribbean island, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.

The statement did not say specifically what the new evidence was.

“This information may shed a new light on the mode of which Natalee Holloway has died and the method by which her body disappeared,” the prosecutor’s office said.

I wonder what will materialize from this…

If you see the news develop, please keep me posted, and many thanks to the anonymous commenter (from Amsterdam) for this tip!

UPDATED:
The same anonymous person also wrote: “Joran did it! http://vkmag.com/” I don’t know the validity of this website, or anything about the commenter, but it sure looks interesting if this is what develops…
