They haven’t found Natalee
Dr. Phil explains today what he is doing
DIARIO Aruba

MIAMI (AAN): Yesterday, the persistent rumour in Aruba was that they had found Natalee and that she was even with her mother. What probably gave rise to the rumour is that Dr. Phil announced that today he will present on his program certain ‘evidence’ that his people investigated and what resulted from it.

After consulting with a few investigators in the U.S., DIARIO can say that it is true that the people from Dr. Phil conducted investigations in different countries of South American and also on a few islands of the Caribbean, but with no positive result.

What Dr. Phil will probably announce today is the manner in which they followed every clue, every information, and every thing that they considered evidence, to see if it’s true that Natalee is alive and in that way rescue and deliver her to her family.

However, it is now the known that the indications that they followed had a negative result. They looked for, but did not locate, Natalee in a few latin American countries and did not find her either in the different islands where Dr. Phil’s investigators went personally to verify information that they considered as some type of evidence.

One of Dr. Phil’s principal investigators, Jamie Skeeters, went personally to these different countries and islands of the Caribbean, and could observe that Natalee is not where they supposed that she could be, if in case she were alive.

Soon he went to another country because a certain source informed them that a remote possibility exists that Natalee could be in a brothel, where she was sold by a sex trafficker gang.

None of this information has a solid basis, rather that certain indications were made for Dr. Phil to exhaust all resources to determine whether the young woman is alive or if she is in effect deceased.

Dr. Phil is working in all seriousness. His intention is to discard one of the two possibilities, to in this way, concentrate on only one. His investigators are trying to eliminate the possibility that she is alive, looking along all paths where she could be, to in this way determine once and for all in what condition she actually is: alive or dead. One by one, they are discarding the indications that they are following in different countries and islands to arrive at a final conclusion.

On DIARIO’s part, we have insisted from the very beginning that there is no concrete evidence to prove that Natalee is alive, and there isn’t any to prove she is dead either.

At DIARIO we have made the point that, according to admissions made by the three suspects to the police, Natalee isn’t alive. The interview with Jamie had with Deepak also proves that the three (and possibly more people) had sexual relations with the young woman when she was constantly losing consciousness.

Additionally, there are other admissions in which the suspects said that “something bad” happened to Natalee. What is “something bad”, only the three suspects can tell us, because they were in her company when this happened.

Given all the factors involved, it is difficult not to express disappointment in the way the Dutch judge treated the case, setting the suspects free and permitting them to leave Aruba, despite the evidence of sexual assault contained in their admissions to police during interrogations and confirmed by Deepak in his interview with Jamie Skeeters, because in our laws, rape is punishable by prison! Apart from this, there is a declaration made by Joran that he believes that Deepak raped and killed Natalee on the beach. How could the judge not even interrogate him, and the other suspects, on this point of their admissions?
