WANTED: WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN ENCOUNTERED BY VAN DER "SLUT"

This is an excerpt of an email to Greta Van Susteren (Fox News) from Natalee’s Aunt, Linda Allison.

Purpose: To seek information from young women who may have experienced an unwanted encounter (threatened, drugs slipped in their drink or raped) by Joran van der Sloot. There are rumors in Aruba that Juran has a history of preying on young women, especially American girls, who would be returning home from their vacation the next day. I'm sure that it would take a lot of courage for a rape victim to come forward, but their identity would not be revealed to the media.

Also, we are looking for any photos or video taken at Carlos & Charlie's on the night of May 29.

Excerpt from Greta’s Blog:

I am anxious to have the Natalee Holloway investigation come to its appropriate ending — with all the facts and justice. I can't tell you what all the facts are and, until we get all the info, it is impossible to determine what justice is. It is easy to be suspicious, but to get a case to court, you have to have more than suspicion. You need evidence.

After many weeks in Aruba, I still see no legal evidence of a murder — although I think (guess) Natalee has been murdered. My conclusion she has been murdered is unscientific — and could be wrong. It certainly is not enough to get a conviction in a U.S. court if this case were in the United States.

It remains possible she is alive, but I just don't think so. To be alive, she would have to be a runaway or a kidnap victim. This is possible... but not probable in my opinion.

For the last few days we have been chasing down the source of the tip she might be buried in the landfill. If you follow this investigation, you know that someone tipped off the volunteer search group and a huge search has been underway in the landfill for days. The search has included heavy equipment and generated some local controversy.

We finally did find the tipster who led to this giant search. (We aired our interview on Thursday night.) It was not easy to find the tipster. We were given a name and a town and literally pounded on doors looking for him. I don't know how we had the luck, but we did find him. I never dreamed we would be that lucky. He was very reluctant to talk, but we did get him to talk a bit.

My view: the tipster believes what he says is true, but I think the tipster's information is not valuable. The tipster seemed to have different versions of his tip while talking to me. "Fluid" tips are always suspect.

Besides fluid facts in the tip to make me suspicious that the search of the landfill is futile, I was told by the tipster that the body was dumped about 4:30 p.m. It seems unlikely to me that someone would get rid of a body in daylight. But I could be wrong.

At this point, it seems like the investigation is at a "wait and see" stage — which is not gratifying for anyone. Everyone wants more movement in the investigation. This investigation does not seem to be moving quickly.

We do know that September 4 is a big date — the judge will decide on that date whether Joran van der Sloot should be held for another 30 days or not.

While no one knows what evidence the prosecutor has for sure... most think the actual evidence — besides the lies — is "thin" and Joran could be released on September 4. Of course the prosecutor could surprise us and much could happen before then.

In the United States when a prosecutor hits a brick wall, the prosecutor will "divide and conquer." In other words, get one of the suspects to turn state's evidence against another suspect and help the prosecution. The prosecutors do this with grants of immunity or plea bargains. I have not heard this being discussed in Aruba but it might be a way to get some information.

For instance, perhaps Deepak Kalpoe would like to get a deal or immunity in exchange for details about what happened — or did not happen — that last night with Natalee.

Of course, I don't know for sure if the prosecutor has hit a brick wall and I don't know if Deepak would want to talk or could be of any help to the prosecution. I did speak to a reporter on Saturday in Aruba, however, who told me that the prosecutor admitted to him on Friday that her case was in trouble.

The prosecutor did not tell me that directly... in fact, she won't talk to me (and she has no obligation to talk to me. She certainly should not talk to me if she thinks it would hurt the case but she is talking to local reporters.) We also don't know if the prosecutor has talked to the defense about immunity or a deal... I guess it is "stay tuned."
