Alabama posse investigates

Beth and Jug Twitty will be part of this Alabama posse which seemed to be conducting their own investigation. The group would hear Joran's Holiday Inn lie, but the security cameras later proved that Natalee was not dropped off there. The media would take this one initial lie and soon commentators like Nancy Grace would spin it into "gang rape and murder." One man, Charles Croes tried to tell the story of what happened that night at the Van der Sloots. His interview can be found on Scrux. The details of what happened that night at the Van der Sloots even four years later are still difficult to sort out as to what really happened and how it might have forever impacted this investigation.

Paul van der Sloot remembers that night

as told to The Holland Television Show, NOVA.

From the JLB News Service

Host ( Jeroen Pauw): Twan, let's go back to Monday evening, the thirtieth of May. That was a crucial night. What happened then?

Reporter (Twan Huys): It is the evening, Jeroen, on which the parents of Natalee fly into Aruba. More precisely, the mother and the stepfather. They don't believe she just walked away, or that there is nothing wrong. They are sure something serious is going on. So they take the first plane from Alabama, where they are from, to here, Aruba, and arrive in the evening.

They go to the police and together go to the house of Joran, of the van der Sloot family . Then, it is night already, around two. In the middle of the night, they arrive there with a company of police and other people and they ring. The father, van der Sloot is sleeping, he opens the door and asks, "What is going on? Why are are here?" " For our disappeared daughter, who was last seen with your son." He doesn't know all that yet. The father van der Sloot goes to an apartment, next to the house, where Joran always sleeps and opens the door and Joran is not in his apartment. He is not sleeping there. And then, the father picks up the mobile phone, he calls his son and he appears to be in a casino somewhere here on Aruba at that time. And that is where we pick up the story. The son is in a casino and eventually there is a meeting at the house of van der Sloot with all these people. The parents of Natalee, the son and the father.
