My own thoughts on Jossy.

When doing the research for this I was actually quite surprised at just how soon in the summer Jossy Mansur came on the scene offering his highly negative accusations against Joran van der Sloot. On June 13, 2007 he went On the Record with Greta van Susteren and was declaring that Joran had "anger management issues." It would seem that Jossy wanted to be the source for the Aruban news regarding the Holloway case almost from the beginning.

A photo of Joran was shown with a leather belt around the neck of one of his friends. Then Fox quickly flashed to a photo of convicted murderer Robert Chambers who also had these anger issues. Joran they said had some Tickle and MSN websites, that were quickly taken down, but had shown a young man who engaged in underage drinking, partying exactly like Chambers. These were all offered up by Jossy Mansur of the Diario newspaper. This wild drinking behavior plus the anger issues seemed proof that Joran must somehow be involved in Natalee's disappearance.

I will attempt to explore some of the more blatant accusations from Jossy Mansur against the suspects in this case. Although when I say suspects, it was always much more clear that Jossy had it in for Paul and son Joran. Even today there are absolute lies that Jossy continues to share as truths about the Van der Sloot family. Another mystery is exactly why Jossy seemed to take on the family Van der Sloot with what would appear as a true vendetta.

To support these anger issues it was stated that one of Natalee's fellow students broke up a fight between Joran and one of the Mt. Brook teens, thus not a stretch that Joran could have killed her. They would show these web sites of Joran's and suggest that his favorite songs were all degrading to females. These photos were often those posing with attractive young females flashing money and showing gangsta signs.

Thus the conclusion offered by Jossy, appearing on Fox, CNN and MSNBC seemed to be that Joran had to be a spoiled, undisciplined young man, with permissive parents that would allow him to frequent casinos and bars, hustling women. And to make it worse, he was only 17 years old and the son of a judge. It would take quite awhile for all of these accusations to be sorted out and to understand what if any of them were the truth.
