Just heard on HLN they are doing two new searches, they think they may have missed something.
 
Is there a staff member here that could get an update on the NH forum coming back?

We now apparently have a possible confession in Peru, a map showing the location of her remains, and new searches happening.

It would be SO much easier to share and organize information with more than one thread. Right now it is so hard to keep track of information, I believe it is seriously hampering people's abilities to put stuff together. There is simply too much information. It would be particularly useful for keeping track of articles and getting them translated by people on these boards so we know they are accurate.

We also have 2 girls missing from a colombian casino that they believe are related to JVS. It really is time for the NH and possibly a new forum for Peru.
 
sure i can update you. the old forum has been and still is open for posting as is the single thread. that is all there will be for now.
 
Someone on another thread said they just got a text saying that the body has been found......what is up with this, did anyone else get anything like that?

Did you hear anything more on this?
 
Dutch police raid home of Joran interviewer

Published on 4 June 2010 - 12:09pm

snipped...

Police in the Netherlands have raided the home of freelance reporter JA, who claims to possess detailed knowledge about JVDS criminal activities.
Mr A, also known by his nickname TJ, earlier this year interviewed murder suspect JVDS, having hooked him up to a lie detector. Gelderland police have confirmed that the raid was carried out at the request of US Justice authorities, who are investigating extortion charges brought against JVDS by relatives of Natalee Holloway.

I must be misunderstanding or something--when I try to go to the old forum it says "this forum is not accepting any new posts". Am I doing something wrong? TIA
 
I cant help but feel fishy about this. The fact they they want to delay... does that mean they want to look before anyone else looks..? I really think his shoe is there, and I think it would be of great evidinciary value if it is. And Natalee is there if the shoe is. I have such a bad opinion of Aruba and a sour taste in my mouth that the only thing they could do to make the bitter taste go away is to find Natalee.
edited to add: and apologize, of course.

Joran has finally been indicted for wire fraud, extortion....:dance:


<<<<<<<snipped article for purpose of thread>>>>>
The indictment identifies Kelly as an advisor and legal representative of Beth Holloway who served as her intermediary with van der Sloot.

The indictment describes how van der Sloot’s scheme to defraud Natalee Holloway’s mother proceeded as follows:

After van der Sloot initially contacted Kelly and said he would reveal the location of Natalee Holloway’s remains for $250,000, he later agreed to lead Kelly to the site of her remains for $25,000. Once identification of the remains was confirmed, Beth Holloway was to pay the remaining $225,000 to van der Sloot.

Van der Sloot received the $25,000 from Beth Holloway and led Kelly to a specific site in Aruba. He identified the site as the location where Natalee Holloway’s remains were buried, although he knew that information was false.

Van der Sloot kept the $25,000, but later confirmed by e-mail that the information he had provided was “worthless.”

The indictment seeks forfeiture of $25,100 from van der Sloot. That amount includes $100 Beth Holloway initially wired to the Netherlands bank to confirm van der Sloot’s account.

US grand jury indicts van der Sloot on wire fraud, extortion
(AFP) – 14 hours ago

WASHINGTON — A US grand jury in the southern state of Alabama on Wednesday indicted Dutch murder suspect Joran van der Sloot on charges of wire fraud and extortion, the Department of Justice said.

Van der Sloot, 22, is being held in Peru on charges of murder in the death last month of a Peruvian woman, but he is also the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance in Aruba of 18-year-old American Natalee Holloway, who was from Alabama.

The grand jury indictment, filed in US District Court, charges van der Sloot with soliciting 250,000 from Holloway's mother on the promise that he would reveal to her the location of her daughter's missing remains on the Caribbean island, as well as the circumstances of her death.

According to the Justice Department, the indictment said van der Sloot caused Beth Holloway to wire 15,000 dollars from her bank to his account in the Netherlands, and another 10,000 to a lawyer in New York who would personally take the money to Van der Sloot in Aruba.

“What We’ve Never Told Anyone About Natalee Holloway”

Five years after Natalee Holloway disappeared, two of her closest friends believe they know who’s responsible. But they don’t want you to remember his name; they want you to remember the funny, smart girl they miss so much. A Glamour exclusive.
by Sheila Weller


A little more than five years ago, on the last night of a high school graduation trip to Aruba, 18-year-old Natalee Holloway met a lawyer’s son, a handsome 17-year-old named Joran van der Sloot, in a popular cantina, walked out into the moonlight with him—and was never seen again. A tiny girl with long blond hair, Natalee was an exuberant personality but also serious and idealistic: About to enter the University of Alabama on a full scholarship, she hoped to become a doctor. Her disappearance left her best friends from Birmingham’s Mountain Brook High confused, angry and bereft.

From the first day she went missing, her classmates lived through the frustrations of an inconclusive police investigation and the indignities of a media firestorm that made Natalee Holloway a household name. They watched as van der Sloot, the main suspect in the crime, was twice detained by police in connection with the investigation—and twice released without ever being charged.

Then, this past May 30—on precisely the fifth anniversary of Natalee’s disappearance—Peruvian business student Stephany Flores, 21, was murdered in a Lima hotel room, and van der Sloot confessed to the killing. He later recanted but remains jailed in Peru, awaiting trial.

I do hope this is the correct thread for I had a hard time trying to locate a proper thread for this article.

There poor girls are forever traumatized and so dearly missing their best friend and give you an insight into WHO Natalee was...such a tragic shame how Natalee was ripped out from their lives...never to finish what she started, such a positive, bright, shinning star snuffed out before she could complete her tasks...to hear how this affected them, they too are victims of JVDS...JMHO

Page 7 had me in tears, as these two friends of Natalee, finally said good-bye to her....JMHO

Van der Sloot admits Holloway family extortion plot: 'Why not?'
Dutchman suspected in Natalee Holloway disappearance is in a Peruvian jail on a separate murder charge

NBC News and news services
updated 9/6/2010 6:49:49 AM ET

AMSTERDAM — A Dutchman suspected in the disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway reportedly confessed to a newspaper in his home country that he extorted money from the girl's parents.

"I wanted to get back at Natalee's family — her parents have been making my life tough for five years," the De Telegraaf newspaper quoted Joran Van der Sloot as saying in an interview published Monday.

"When they offered to pay for the girl's location, I thought: 'Why not?'" he added, according to the newspaper.


Van der Sloot is currently in jail in Peru, charged in a separate case with killing a 21-year-old woman there.

A federal grand jury in Alabama has indicted him on charges of wire fraud and extortion in relation to the Holloway case. He was the last person seen with Holloway before the girl vanished on the last night of a high school graduation trip to Aruba.

What a self serving narcisis JVDS is...his sense of entitlement, his rationale for extorting...unfrigginbelievable...He's a miserable guy and I do hope once he's done with his Peruvian jail woes, he is extradited to the United States. He will then have another trial, with I believe, a guilty verdict, finally...JMHO

Seems JVDS's KARMA is starting to kick his butt...JMHO


Justice for Natalee
 
What a piece of human garbage. He's going to get what he deserves, and I can't wait. How dare he talk about how tough HIS life has been. I feel terrible for the Holloway family, especially Beth. He'll never be punished for Natalee's disappearance, so there's no reason for him to not tell the truth and give her family some peace. He is a monster.
 
BREAKING!!!

Beth Holloway has been arrested in Peru trying to get into Castro Castro to get to him. I don't have any links yet but its all over Nancy Grace and Jean C is on too. They have conflicting reports but they do know that Beth is in Peru and there are reports that Beth actually got face to face with him - authorities are denying they met.
 
Has anyone heard about Beth Holloway being arrested for sneaking into Van Der Sloots Prison? I am watching Nancy Grace and that is what is being reported.....
