Aruba is 42 square miles.  Three countries scoured that tiny Island.

Many people were interrogated - anyone and everyone that mentioned or were thought to have anything to do with the case were hauled in and questioned - some over a period of days (very different than Peru).

What were they suppose to do - invent a murderer out of beliefs that were made from different fabrics of personal convictions into whole cloth? No matter how hard they tried, a murderer they could not make!

Transnational Issues > Trafficking in persons > Current situation

Peru is primarily a source country for women and children trafficked internally for the purposes of sexual exploitation and forced domestic labor; most victims are girls and young women moved internally from rural to urban areas, or from city to city, and lured or coerced into prostitution in nightclubs, bars, and brothels; Peruvians have also been trafficked for sexual exploitation to Spain, Japan, the United States, and Venezuela (Aruba off the coast); the government acknowledges that sex tourism occurs, particularly in the Amazon region of the country.

Nancy Grace, former Special Prosecutor in the Atlanta-Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney's office.

Prosecutorial misconduct

The Supreme Court of Georgia has twice commented on Grace's conduct as a prosecutor. First, in a 1994 heroin drug trafficking case, Bell v. State, the Court declared a mistrial, saying that Grace had "exceeded the wide latitude of closing argument" by drawing comparisons to unrelated murder and rape cases.

In 1997, the court was more severe. Although its unanimous decision overturning the murder-arson conviction of businessman W. W. Carr in the death of his wife was caused primarily by other issues, the court made note of Grace's court actions, citing "inappropriate and illegal conduct in the course of the trial."
*    Her opening statement in the case promised the jury evidence of physical abuse that she had to know would never be admissible because that entire aspect of the case had already been excluded by the judge.
*    Subpoenas that contained hearing dates Grace knew to be false.
*    Failure to disclose a full witness list to the defense in a timely fashion.
*    Showing a chart during closing arguments that falsely stated a defense expert had not contradicted the state's case on a key issue.
*    Also, during closing argument, "vouching" for the case by telling the jury she herself believed Carr to be guilty.
*    And finally, performing two illegal searches of Carr's house, including one during which she was accompanied by a CNN camera crew.
While the court said its reversal was not due to these transgressions, since the case had turned primarily on circumstantial evidence, it nevertheless concluded "the conduct of the prosecuting attorney in this case demonstrated her disregard of the notions of due process and fairness, and was inexcusable." Carr was freed in 2004 when The Georgia Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Fulton County had waited too long to retry him.

Other courts have criticized Grace's conduct even while upholding convictions in her cases. In a 2005 opinion, a panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals said Grace "played fast and loose" with her ethical duties and failed to "fulfill her responsibilities" as a prosecutor in the 1990 triple murder trial of Herbert Connell Stephens. She failed to turn evidence over to his defense team that pointed to other suspects. The court noted that it was "difficult to conclude that Grace did not knowingly" elicit false testimony from a police investigator that there were no other suspects despite strong evidence to the contrary.

What a character!

Throw in this  other character Greta Van Susteren;

Van Susteren was born in Appleton, Wisconsin, and is of Dutch, French and German ancestry on her paternal side.

Van Susteren's sister, Lise, is a forensic psychiatrist in Bethesda, Maryland. In 2006, Lise was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. Her brother, Dirk Van Susteren, was a journalist and long-time editor of the Vermont Sunday magazine, jointly published, until folding in 2008, by the Rutland Herald and the Barre-Montpelier-Times Argus.

Van Susteren's father, Urban Van Susteren, was an elected judge, was a longtime friend of U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy, and was campaign strategist for him, although Urban later broke with him.

Van Susteren is married to John P. Coale. They are both Scientologists. Coale serves as an adviser for Sarah Palin.

Then we have George 'Jug' Twitty and his connections.....

Is there a pattern here? of powerful well connected people conspiring to set-up or entrap Joran? Could they be so bold, hubristic?

A possible MO linking Aruba and Peru?

Do these 'news' station have a monopoly on this case?

Why does no-one or no other 'news' medium question their biased reporting?

If this is even remotely possible then Joran van Der Sloot will not fare well.

All these other stories out there are from conspiracy theorists and people who want to twist themselves into pretzels

Well untwist this pretzel of malicious statement:

FOX NEWS WEDNESDAY November 19, 2008

BETH TWITTY:"Yes. And Greta, I was just wanting to say that, you know, like I said, it's been a long time, but it's never too late for justice. And I'd be good with a "Midnight Express" prison anywhere for Joran."

My personal opinion is that JVDS is a very dangerous person and a pathological liar who will say or do anything to get himself out of trouble

Drinking 15 drinks, I can't imagine either yet Joran and Stephany drove back to the hotel.

For now, I haven't forgotten about your suggestion to think about why Stephany's family thought that she was kidnapped. Assuming Joran is not considered someone who would have kidnapped her or been involved? and a few more thougts later,

Maybe much left up to lawyers to defend Joran but my goal is before over assuming him, which is easy considering a missing girl and a dead girl,

and if he isn't calculating enough for the anniversary date to be significant, than how to explain if the notice is not a coincidence?

A few areas for me to work on before enough understanding.

Aruba is 42 square miles - three countries must have, together, and separately, searched almost every inch of that tiny Island and yet found no piece of evidence.

Peru's story, insofar as I am concerned, seems to be a mystery from start to finish - nothing makes sense in this Peruvian other than the 'fit like a glove' confession of Joran's.  But, how was it actually obtained?  That we have to wait to get the truth.  And is this confession such a perfect fit to the crime scene (the last crime scene) because Joran gave it of his free will, or, is it what he was made to confess to?
