For those of you who have read my first two articles on this case, you know already that a Dutch television crime reporter, Peter R. de Vries, paid a man, Patrick van der Eem, $37,000 to help him get a confession from the prime suspect in Holloway's disappearance. Which he did and got the entire conversation on three video tapes. Although Joran Van der Sloot has made various statements trying to get away from that confession, nothing is making any sense other than it.
Bill O'Reilly with Fox news has been unusually moderate and restrained in his comments towards the case until now. He has now joined thousands of others who are calling for a boycott of Aruba until they bring some kind of sensible conclusion to the case.
The facts at present are that they are trying to clear up legalities in the case so they may place Van der Sloot back in custody while they continue their investigation. Let's examine some instances which show there is devious activity going on here.
The characters involved. Joran Van der Sloot: Teen age big shot on the island of Aruba, a play boy who regularly visited the casinos and clubs. Here is one statement from the Bill O'Reilly transcript:
Bill O'Reilly:You know me, I don't speculate okay, but I'll tell you right now why he didn't call the authorities or the EMS if the woman had a seizure and died, because he raped her, because they slipped some date rate drug inside and any kind of an autopsy would have seen the date rape drug, this guy had history of doing this kind of stuff, we know he prowled the casinos.
Paul Van der Sloot, a Judge in training in the Aruba Judicial department, was first arrested shortly after the incident occurred in 2005. And what brings out the idea that there has been much information held back from the public, they arrested him on the suspicion of being implicated in this case. Keep in mind this was 2005 just after the disappearance, and after all suspects were freed, you haven't heard much from this father. Now, almost 3 years later Joran Van der Sloot is tricked into a confession which virtually puts the finger on his father as an accomplice. And, under the bizarre circumstances, may have been the one who pushed her into the sea… possibly alive! It is now reported that he is suffering from extreme stress and has taken a leave from his position to recuperate.
Many of the media have said that during the first arrest of suspicion, which can only hold one for four days, the defense attorneys kept the suspects and prosecutors in court hearings almost constantly in order to prevent them from interrogating their clients. And legal antics, refusal by the judges to hold or re-arrest them at one time or another, etc. brings up much questions as to a cover-up.
The Arubans are enraged at the Van der Sloots, especially the boy, Joran. He is said to be in the Netherlands hiding for his life. The Aruban prosecutor has said that he doesn't want him back on the island except for investigation. This incident has harmed the economy of this small island by reducing their tourist monies by 15-18%. And may even rise above that. When the prosecutor attempted to re-arrest him, the judge stated that there was not enough additional evidence. When the prosecutor filed an appeal, a judge in the Netherlands sided with the first judge and refused to allow him to be arrested there.There is an enormous amount of information available on the web concerning this case. If you would like to see a video of Kimberly Guilfoyle's interview with Art Wood with regard to what was found on Paul Van der Sloot's computer hard drive as well as Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo with portions of the confession by Joran, go to this link: http://scaredmonkeys.com/.
Opinions differ as to the final outcome of this mess. But I believe, if the world puts enough pressure on the powers that be in Aruba and the Dutch authorities, it can be closed out with justice done.

As so horribly sad as this case is, this is not the United States. This is a small island whose families are perhaps embedded for considerable time and with ties to each other and to the motherland. Should we expect anything else no matter where we go? Perhaps we Americans take our journeys outside of this country for granted, expecting the same treatment as we receive here? A sad example that we must comply with their laws not ours like it or not and only this poor family can attest to what I say. If we Americans care less about one of our own then what does that say about us? I suspect enough financial prressure on Aruba would make a signifcant change and fast. I suspect not everyone shares my view and prefers the sun and fun. Money always talks. However, in my opinion do not expect Americans to sacrifice their leisure for principal or someone else, we have wondered too far from that. Respond to this comment

Thanks for the comment Robert, and you are so sadly accurate. You can actually sympathize with Paul Van der Sloot to a point. He must have about gone beserk when he learned what had happened. But if the father and son had both just rationalized a little, they would have called the rescue squad and police. Chances are, even if she were dead and it had been partially due to a date rape drug, they would only have been subjected to a manslaughter or something and the boy may have received a very light sentence, considering the family influence. But after they did what they did, both need to be punished. The girl might have been revived...who knows? Respond to this comment
