Hmm, Justice finally served?

[RICHARD]

I knew it!!!! I had the TV on and Greta Van Sustren reported this story...

NH's mom paid money to JVS to reveal the location of her daughter's body.


He used that money to go to Peru and kill another girl.

Now the mom has two deaths on her hands.

What a tragedy.

[moosmom]

What a frigging idiot the mother is. The deaths aren't on her hands, their BLOOD is.

Can't they charge NH's Mother with being an accessory???

[Cataholic]

I am not sure I follow your posts, Richard and Moosmom. Are you suggesting that the victim's mother, Natalie's mother, is somehow responsible for this?

That seems pretty harsh, doesn't it?

JVS was wired 15k from a source -depending on who you believe- a private person, a organization, unnamed entity.

The 15k was a down payment for the 250k that JVS was offered/wanted for his info about the location of NH's body.

Van der Sloot also now faces criminal charges in the United States of trying to extort $250,000 from Holloway's family in exchange for disclosing the location of Holloway's body and describing how she died.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/06...-face-justice/

A criminal complaint by the U.S. Attorney in federal court in Birmingham also accused Joran van der Sloot in May 2010 of promising to describe the circumstances of Holloway's death in return for the money. According to a sworn statement, van der Sloot got a partial payment of $15,000 wired to a Netherlands bank soon after.

He has long been a suspect in Aruba in the disappearance of Holloway, an 18-year-old from Mountain Brook, Ala., who was on a graduation trip to Aruba with other seniors when she turned up missing as they flew home. Her mother still lives in Alabama.

The name of the person paying the money was not given.

According to ABC News, the extortion investigation began in late April, and on May 10, $15,000 was wired to van der Sloot in the Netherlands by someone in Mountain Brook, Alabama, allegedly for information regarding Natalee.

It could been the FBI too, but why would JVS take money from just anyone?

Someone contacted him and offered him the money with the intention of getting him to take the hook, that way they could have brought him to the States and prosecuted him for that crime and by taking the money, doesn't that implicate him in NH's murder?

That's why the DOJ came out with the arrest warrant so quickly, they do not want to lose the chance to have him tried in the U.S.

Either way? Why not name the person who sent him the money? If they had NOT SENT THE MONEY, he would have never gone to Peru and killed that girl.

The effers that did wire him the 15k are just as much to blame for the killing.

No money, no trip, no murder.

NH's mom has been on JVS arse and was never going to give up, the 15 was the enticement and part of a plan to put him in jail, once and for all.

The DOJ planned to arrest him on wire fraud charges and that blew up in their face when this story broke.

A wise move not to say who sent the money.....

Wow !!! All of this hullabaloo.
$250 K ????
I'd take him out for free.
But a contribution for the lead would be ok.

I agree this seems a bit harsh. There comes a time when every parent has to let their child go out into the world and spread their wings.
It is one of the hardest things to do, to let go and let them explore but it has to be done for the child to learn, live and grow.
I am sure NH mom spoke to her before the trip about the dangers. Perhpas he spiked her drink, I find it hard to believe that she would lose judgement so quickley and either continue to drink until she had no idea what was happening or just leave with them.
These types of deaths occur all over the world and with all age groups. How many people get drunk and get behind a car and drive, millions I am sure.
Her mom is suffering more then you can ever imagine Richard not because you are mean but because you are not a parent. Her pain is deeper then most people know. Her judgement is not what it should be right now.
Many people break down from this type of stress, I feel she has suffered enough.
If it had been me I would probably have killed him in Aruba with my bare hands. She decided to trust the justice system and she is a better person then I for that.

No, I am not a parent, but I have lost loved ones.

Both my dad and long time GF died w/in 6 month of each other. That may not qualify me as a 'grieving parent' but I think I can claim membership in the "Losing a Loved One Bar and Grill".

BH's neverending quest to get justice for her daughter must be eating at her soul right now. The news has reported that BH & family put up the money for the sting operation. They also say that JVS was broke, that BLOOD money he was paid gave him the chance to get out of Aruba and travel.

Yeah, it's a pretty sucky story, but if BH wasn't so focused on getting JVS to go to jail, none of this would not have happened.

So?

Instead of getting info on what actually happened to her daughter?

He may clam up and she will forfeit any information of what really happened 5 years ago.

[caseysmom]

Those high school trips are bad news. We went to Cancun several years ago and there were drunk teens all over the place, I tried to talk sense into some of them.

My kids knew not to even ask if they could do that. The parents have to sign a consent whether the kid is 18 or not since it is a school event. Natalee's mom could have grown a back bone.

I'm with Richard on this one its one thing to get independence its another thing to walk into a stupid, dangerous situation.

[RICHARD]

If you gave someone a dollar to buy you a beer and they killed someone on the way home, would you feel badly?

If you had a party and let a guest drive home drunk and they got killed or arrested? Would you feel bad?

Better yet,

If you lost a child to a predator, that they met in a casino/bar, then bankrolled a sting to bring him to justice, which allowed them to go on to kill a woman in a casino in another country?

Would that absolve you of any guilt or blame?

I do not think I would have any problem feeling like poop for my involvement.

[RICHARD]

Next time you go, take me and I'll make you some money....I'll hold them up and you grab the wallet/purse.

You have a kid who is drunk in a frat house or party.

Someone will steer them to their room or leave them asleep on the patio furniture,

Now, take the same kid and put them in another state/country with more booze in their body? Nothing good wil come of that.

Not all kids are that loose/stupid when it comes to alcohol/vacations.

We only hear about he dead ones. I bet there are tons of people who 'only' get into trouble and are bailed out-money they could save by being responsible?

I find the whole thing so incredibly sad.............. Two beautiful girls dead for what? I hope he gets the death penelty.

No, DP in Peru, they max out a sentence at 35 years for murder. He may not even serve that.

The jails in Peru are screwed up from what they have said on the tube.

He may not make it out of there alive.

Nah......justice is never served. Lawyers make sure of that for money.

[blue]

I doubt justice will be served in these cases.

[wombat2u2004]

It never does Blue.
I wonder how many lawyers know the truth in these cases, and their confidentiality is prostituted for dollars.

[RICHARD]

Wow, this was a total circle jerk.


The FBI was in Aruba and set up a sting-someone hatched a plan to catch this jerk and it was to approach him with the offer of money for info.

On May 10th they met with him, as reps of the Holloways, to see what he wanted for the info.

He asked for 250k, They paid him 10k in cash, on the spot and wired the 15k to an acct in Europe.

Wire fraud and extortion. They could have arrested him at that moment. They let him go.

On May 13th he gave them the slip, there are reports of up to 30 FBI agents in Aruba to help with the arrest.


He used the cash to fly to Peru, to play in a poker tournament,

While at the casino, some singer from a country near Cent Am recognized him and reported it to security at the casino. They didn't do anything....

The NH killing wasn't a big deal down there and no one gave a flying handshake until they opened up the room and found the poor gal, three days after he killed her.

[Cataholic]

Richard,
I followed the money from NH mother part. Not the part that would implicate any blame on the mother, though.

As to what attorneys know and cannot share, that is "protected" by the attorney-client confidentiality, and one of the most basic and trusted aspects of the relationship. It can be an awesome burden at times (I do not speak from personal experience, I don't practice much criminal law).

As for attorneys making it big, or rich..well, it is their line of work. LOL. Any of you "work" for free much?
