Natalee Holloway


I have been riveted by the news over the last two months regarding the missing Alabama teen, Natalee Holloway. If you have been living under a rock and don't know about this case, Natalee Holloway is an 18-year old who visiting Aruba with fellow classmates celebrating their high school graduation. She disappeared in the early morning hours of Monday, May 30, 2005.

Natalee and her group of Mountain Brook High Schoolfriends were at the local bar, "Carlos-n-Charlies" for their last evening. She was last seen getting into a car with now suspect, 17-year old Joran Van der Sloot and two brothers, Satish and Deepak Kalpoe.


Everyday this case becomes more and more interesting with all the new clues and uncovering more lies from the suspects.

New Witness In Natalee Holloway Case Claims To Know Where Her Body Is Located

With the FBI in town and the lead prosecutor out of town, the heat seems to be rising under the Natalee Holloway investigation in Aruba. One witness claims to be able to place all three boys at a popular racquetball club located approximately 200 yards from the Marriott Hotel where the boys first claimed to have dropped off Natalee Holloway. If true, that report could clear up one longstanding concern with the boys story. The beaches around the hotels are known to be covered with people well into the night, it might have been preferable for the boys to have taken Natalee Holloway to a more discreet location, like a racquetball club, had they been seeking some privacy.


Unconfirmed reports suggest Joran Van der Sloot, an athlete and accomplished young tennis player, may have frequented the racquetball club a few times a week. It's unclear if he had 24/7 access, or if the club somehow acted as a possible after hours party location for some, even a small group without the knowledge of club management. As to the where abouts of Natalee Holloway, it is at least suspected that some design may have went into the handling of those details.


It has been speculated that Paul(us) Van der Sloot, Joran's Father, may have played a role. If true, it is likely that his experience and expertise in the law may have led him to layer the puzzle surrounding the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. By making arrangements to dispose of her body, or disposing of it himself, he may have insulated his young son from interrogators bent on getting to the truth by witholding details, even from his son. Also, given the emerging details of where the boys may have actually been that night, it is possible that they did bury her initially in the sand, as an alleged early confession suggested, with the body having been re-located some time later.


Here are two links for blogs that religiously update their pages with new information regarding the case. These people dedicate themselves daily to getting behind the scenes news that you won't find on CNN or FOX NEWS.

Question of the week:

If Natalee Holloway is deceased, do you think Joran and the Kalpoe brothers are responsible? Do you think it was accidental? What are your theories?
