Could this for ONCE be a promising lead?????

::ORANJESTAD, Aruba — A lawyer for a Dutch youth detained previously as a suspect in the disappearance of teenager Natalee Holloway said Monday that his client did not know the latest person arrested by Aruban authorities in the case.
Joseph Tacopina, a U.S. lawyer for Joran van der Sloot, said the detention of a new suspect was good news for his client because it suggested the investigation was heading in a new direction. The suspect has only been identified by authorities only as "G.V.C," and there are reports his first name is Godfried.
"My client doesn't know him at all," Tacopina said in an interview with The Associated Press. "He just doesn't know him, period."
The detainee's name has been reported by some media outlets in varying forms, but Aruban authorities decline to confirm his identity.
Tacopina, who said his investigators had been in contact with Aruban authorities, said "G.V.C" was detained because police recovered a T-shirt belonging to him with "relevant forensic information" from the south side of the Dutch Caribbean island.
The lawyer said he did not know details about the forensic information or how it related to the disappearance of Holloway, a vacationing Alabama teen who was last seen leaving a bar with van der Sloot and two other young men May 30 — the final night of her high school graduation trip to Aruba.

Aruban authorities, who declined to comment Monday, have released few details on the latest development. Over the weekend, they said only that the detained man is 19 years old and has the initials "G.V.C." In Aruba, when an arrest is announced, officials usually release only a suspect's initials.
The mother of Natalee Holloway, Beth Twitty, and other relatives in Alabama don't know much about the arrest in Aruba, according to an aunt of the missing teen.
"We were all together Saturday when (Beth) found out," Marcia Twitty, sister of Beth Twitty, said in an interview Monday. "She's been a little overwhelmed with people trying to call her and all."
Three young men — van der Sloot and Surinamese brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe — were jailed earlier as suspects in the case until a judge ordered them released, ruling there was insufficient evidence against them.
Van der Sloot, now a college student in the Netherlands, has long maintained that he left Holloway on a beach near her hotel and denies any wrongdoing.
"Anything is good for my client because we're not afraid of an investigation," said Tacopina, who is defending van der Sloot in a civil suit filed by Holloway's parents in the United States.
Dave Holloway, the father of the missing teenager, said he was still suspicious of van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers.
"I still think that these three original suspects still know more than what they told us," he said in a TV interview broadcast over the weekend.
There have been a number of false leads in the investigation, and at least three other people were detained without being charged.
In recent weeks, Aruban police have searched sand dunes on the northern coast of the island. Dutch Marines, the FBI and hundreds of volunteers also previously searched for signs of the girl.

Jossy's Editorial

I don’t know if Joran is guilty or innocent of what happened to Natalee Holloway, but there is one thing that I have no doubt about: he is a machine who fabricates lies. And another thing I’ve convinced of is that ‘experts’ on Greta Van Susteren’s show have a habit of talking for the sake of it, because none of them made the necessary effort to bring forth comparative and valid points.

For instance:1. Joran declared that Deepak and Satish dropped him and Natalee on the beach and then they (D&S) went home, because he called them afterwards on cell phone for one of them to go pick him up, and none of them wanted to. Both Kalpoes stand behind what they said that none of them went to pick up Joran at the beach! And Joran says the contrary! Who then went to pick him up in the wee hours of the morning to take him home?


2. Now, if the ‘experts’ put the contradictory declarations between the 3 suspects next to the declaration of Joran to 4 police officials on the 13th of June that Deepak went back to the beach, approached the girl and that he believes that he raped and killed Natalee, they have to conclude that Joran is lying greatly and trying to shift the blame onto Deepak.In my opinion, this movement is an essential part of his strategy, and a fundamental reason (besides the money) for the interviews he is giving. His fear of the truth emerging (of the localization of Natalee’s remains) is forcing him every time to divert attention from him again and again, and sending it directly towards Deepak.


3. The interview with “A Current Affair”. Why would Joran give a series of interviews to radio and television repeating the same lies? Because he lives with the fear that the truth will emerge and that with or without concrete evidence, everyone will point the finger towards him as the guilty party of whatever happened to Natalee.He, himself, clearly said in an interview on Nov. 26 2005 ‘my worst nightmare is that something bad happened to Natalee and everyone will blame me. It could be Deepak, or Satish…’ This is twice that he wants to shift the attention directly towards Deepak!Whether Deepak is guilty or innocent, I don’t know that either, but Joran is insisting more and more to incriminate him of whatever could have happened to Natalee! And until now, we have not heard Deepak defend himself publicly of Joran’s insinuations! This also forces us to ask: Why?Another remarkable thing is that one day Steve Croes (the DJ) is Deepak’s friend, and another day, he doesn’t know him! Joran said that he doesn’t know who is Steve and that he had no sort of friendship with him and that it was Deepak who came with him to give his false testimony that they dropped off Natalee at the Holiday Inn, incriminating the two security guards unnecessarily. And so the lies and contradictions continue to turn like a tombola in all his interviews.Personally, none of the declarations that Joran is now making on television and radio has convinced me that he doesn’t know what happened to Natalee.According to the testimony and evidence that I know of so far, Joran is the last person who was in Natalee’s company the day she mysteriously disappeared.And Joran confirmed ‘On the Record’ that he doesn’t believe Natalee is alive. That is to say, that he is also convinced that the girl is dead. Because, he always insisted that he left her sleeping on the beach? How does he now believe that she is dead? Because he told the 4 police officials on the beach that Deepak went back to the girl and that he believes Deepak raped and killed Natalee? If he expressed his thoughts on the 13th of June, how is it that now (8 months later) he comes back to confirm publicly his suspicion that Natalee could be dead?What’s now missing is an interviewer who knows all the details of the case very well, who is aware of all the declarations of Joran, Deepak, and Satish to the Aruba Police, who knows Joran’s background since he was 10 years old, and knows his sociological profile, to ask him cardinal questions that neither Current Affair, nor Nova, nor ABC, nor Greta were able to ask.Despite the multiplication of his lies, he was able to handle the interviewers how he wanted, because he has the ability to look the interviewer in the face and without flinching, lie how he deems fit! Greta disappointed me in the fact that she didn’t ask any (follow up ) questions about superficial and well rehearsed answers from Joran, because Greta has done a magnificent job until now of delving deeply in the facts surrounding the disappearance of Natalee.Again, I am not accusing Joran of nothing other than being a chronic, habitual and pathetic liar. Because he admitted openly of lying does not excuse the duty to reveal the truth that he continues to hide in his box of secrets.He knows much more than he wants to admit and none of the interviewers has the necessary ability to rip the truth away from him. It could be that he didn’t admit anything to any interviewer, but I noted the absence of an insistent and legitimate effort to arrive at the truth on the part of all interviewers that I’ve seen sit in front of Joran, who gave the impression that he is behind the wheel, that he is the captain who is in charge of the ship, not the interviewer!Innocent or guilty? This will come forward soon. Meanwhile, his factory of lies continues to produce his harvest of lies, one on top of the other, and was able to create by himself a mountain of lies higher than Hooiberg!

Joran's Interview ( without the BLUE plaid shirt ) with ABC News

Exclusive: 'I Lied Because I Was Scared'


(NO, HE LIED BECAUSE HE IS A LIAR)


Dutch Teen Says He Left Holloway Alone at the Beach, But That's Not What He Told Her Mother


Joran van der Sloot tells his side of the story about Natalee Holloway's disappearance in an exclusive interview with ABC News' "Primetime." (ABC News)

Feb. 23, 2006 — Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch teen who was the last person seen with Natalee Holloway the night she disappeared in Aruba, said he lied about leaving the American teen alone at the beach because he was scared.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News' Chris Cuomo for "Primetime," van der Sloot said he had planned to have sex with Holloway when they left a bar together on May 30.
They went to the beach, but because van der Sloot said he didn't have a condom, they did not have sex. He said the two "cuddled" on the beach, but then he said he wanted to go home, so he left Holloway on the beach.
He admits now it wasn't the right thing to do. "At that moment in time, for me, it wasn't the wrong thing," he said. "It's not something a real man would do. It's not normal. It's not right at all."
Van der Sloot said his friend picked him up and drove him home. But there was a detail he left out — he left the beach without his shoes, which some people have interpreted as a sign of panic.
Van der Sloot said that wasn't the case. "I'd left them on the beach. I'd walked to the car. We got in the car right then and there, I couldn't go back because we were going home."
The shoes were never found.
Between 3:30 and 4:30 in the morning, records reviewed by "Primetime" seem to confirm that van der Sloot was at home and online — he e-mailed Deepak Kalpoe to say he was home, he checked soccer scores, and visited a porn site.
Facing an Angry Mother
That morning, Holloway's classmates were scheduled to return to Alabama, but she never showed up. Her worried friends eventually contacted her family, and Holloway's mother, Beth Twitty, got on a private plane that day to search for her daughter on the island.
When van der Sloot heard that a girl had gone missing on the beach, he said he thought of Holloway.

"The first thing that popped into my head was … what if something happened to her? What if she went swimming?" he said. "Afterwards, I was thinking, after everything she told me, that she probably might have gone back to her hotel, hooked up with — gone with someone else, hooked up with someone else, and wanted to stay another day on the island."
But van der Sloot was soon face to face with Holloway's parents, who came to his home after being tipped off that the last person to see their daughter alive was a local boy named Joran. He was pointed out to Twitty on hotel surveillance video.
Van der Sloot said he walked up to Twitty, who was holding a picture. "All she said to me, she screamed at me was, tell me where my daughter is," he said. "I told her that I don't know."
But he said more than that. Van der Sloot told Holloway's family that he and his friends had dropped off the teen at the Holiday Inn. That was a lie.
Van der Sloot said he didn't tell the truth because he was scared. "I didn't want anyone to know. I didn't want anyone to know I left her at the beach," he said. "I lied because, yeah, I was scared. I had a girlfriend at the time. I didn't want my dad to think bad of me. I didn't want my friends to think bad of me."
Over the coming days, the search for Holloway intensified. The Aruba government even gave 4,000 civil servants a day off just to look for clues — and still nothing was found.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!! NATALEE'S FAMILY FILED A CILVIL SUIT AGAINST JORAN AND FAMILY!!!!!

The Van der sloot's arrived Wednesday evening in New York. Joran touched down at JFK onboard a Delta Airlines flight shortly after 2pm. The Van Der Sloot's are at The Lucerne Hotel in NYC.

BREAKING NEWS SERVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Van der Sloots have been served with a civil law suit by the Holloway’s and Twitty’s. ABC had been planning a face to face interview with the Van der Sloots (Joran, Paul & Anita). Upon setting foot on American soil Paul Vander Sloot was served at his hotel. John Q. Kelly had a retired Scotland person sitting next to Joran on the plane and served him with papers on the airplane. Joran Vander Sloot were served with papers on the plane.

The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan court, seeks unspecified money damages against Joran van der Sloot, 18, and his father. Both were served with a summons while in New York, a lawyer for the missing teen's family said. Referring to van der Sloot as "the predator," the lawsuit claims that on at least three occasions young Aruban women have complained they were the victims of date rape by him and accomplices.

INVESTIGATION CONTINUES

Investigation Continues
As reported over the last weeks, the investigation continues along the lines projected by the prosecution. The Alabama teens were questioned and the results are now in investigators’ hands. Other witnesses in Aruba have come forward, some have been re-interviewed. A dig by the dunes at the Lighthouse did commence. And files have been reviewed in Holland by Karen Janssen.
Also the prosecutor assigned by Theresa Croes, Attorney General, is completing an independent review of the case to be presented to the prosecutor.
All of this suggests an attention to detail and a firm commitment to compile all evidence and testimony in the hope that a case can be constructed to present to the court.




Tim Miller and the TES crew were SUPPOSEDLY headed back to Aruba February 15.
