May 21, 2006 Last Wednesday in Utrecht, Holland in The Netherlands, a close friend and tennis partner of Joran van der Sloot was arrested. This young man who's name is phonetically pronounced Gito Waver (( don't have the exact spelling), worked at the Casino in the Holiday Inn where Natalee was staying. He was questioned last June by the Aruban authorities and has been a suspect for sometime. He has hired Gerard Spong, one of Holland's top lawyers to try to prevent the Dutch from sending him back to Aruba. I am hoping that his attorney is successful and that the questioning of this suspect is handled in Holland by the Dutch since I have NO faith in the Aruban police. This is the first major link between a suspect and Joran for many months. One of the charges being brought against him is "Heavy Battery" which implies that Natalee was beaten and that would account for how she may have died. Prior to this no one mentioned the charge of "Heavy Battery" to the best of my knowledge. Do the Aruban's know exactly what happened to Natalee? Have they retrieved her body and found that the COD was battery? Considering that Steve Croes, GVC and everyone but the Kalpoe's have disclaimed knowing Joran this could be a major break in the case. This boy absolutely knows Joran and they absolutely hung out together. There will be much more information forthcoming by tomorrow since that is when his attorney will make an appearance in a Dutch Court on his behalf. According to Jossy Mansur, the young man has been named by more than one witness and there is testimony that he was involved in Natalee's disappearance. GW's attorney claims that he will be easily cleared but if he stays in Holland that may not be quite as easy as it would be on Aruba where they haven't a clue how to investigate a crime. I have faith that the Dutch DO know what they are doing and that it will not be a repeat of the Keystone Kop routine that we have witnessed thus far when the Aruban officials are involved. I am hoping that this is not another dead end and that FINALLY...right before the first anniversary of Natalee's disappearance, Beth and Dave will get some answers. They can make deals with suspects in Dutch Law, even though people like Arlene Ellis Shipper have denied this possibility. Let's hope that this boy won't be willing to take the fall for others and that he will tell what he knows. Although they are not referred to as plea bargains like they are here in the USA, they can go easier on a suspect and reduce charges if they cooperate. Let's hope that this time we get some answers and that the people who harmed Natalee are finally brought to justice. It is long over due. ------------ About the author: Meri has a Medical/Legal background and is a former forensic researcher specializing in psychological profiling. https://www2.xlibris.com/bookstore/bookdisplay.asp?bookid=27335 Email: writers2@cox.net Comment on this article here! ------------ All articles are EXCLUSIVE to Useless-Knowledge.com.
