It is very difficult to distinguish the difference between the various versions of the Deepak conversation recording

ORANJESTAD (AAN): Thursday, on the MSNBC program “Abrams Report”, the recording of the conversation between Jamie Skeeters and Deepak Kalpoe was aired, in which the latter supposedly admitted that he, his brother and Joran van der Sloot had sexual relations with Natalee Holloway.

Abrams Report also aired the tape that Aruba has in its possession, where it sounds as if Deepak says that they did not have sexual relations with the youngster.

On the tape, Jamie Skeeters tells Deepak: “I’m sure she had sex with all of you”, where in the version that previously aired on the Dr. Phil show, Deepak’s answer according those who heard it was “She did, you’d be surprised how easy it was”.

On the tape Aruba has, Deepak’s answer is: “She didn’t, you’d be surprised, how easy it would have been”.

Attorney Arlene Ellis-Schipper was on the program via telephone, and explained that one can clearly hear that Deepak said that they did not sleep with Natalee and that one can see Deepak shake his head.

The program host says that he did not see Deepak shake his head, but he did admit that this matter is a ‘mess’ as he called it.

The reporter said that clearly one can hear a difference between the tapes, where in the Skeeter version, Deepak says that they slept with Natalee.

However, a voice analysis expert invited on the program said to the host that he believes if they air the versions without bise [?], he cannot distinguish what is what.

The host said that he believes that he will be able to separate them from the other. To be honest, when DIARIO listened to the recording which passed on television, on all the recordings one can hear: “She didn’t”.

Natalee Holloway’s mother was also on the program and said that the tapes have to be analyzed by the FBI, to afterwards put this matter aside and focus on other aspects of the case, such as certain declarations made by Joran van der Sloot.

Beth Twitty continues to say that she supports the boycott, because local authorities have not made a good job with the investigation of the case.
