ABC DEFENDS JORAN AGAIN!!

Van der Sloot Revisits Aruba Beach, Says
Nightmare Doesn't End!
Former Chief Suspect in Natalee Holloway
Case Speaks to ABC News
Sept. 5, 2006 — - It's been more than 15 months
since Alabama teen Natalee Holloway disappeared
on the island of Aruba during a high school
graduation trip.
In that time there have been frantic searches,
dwindling hopes, and serious missteps in the
investigation.
Much of the attention about what happened to
Holloway has been focused on one young man,
Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch native of Aruba
who, according to his own words, was the last
known person to be with Holloway.
ABC News' Chris Cuomo recently traveled to
Aruba for an exclusive interview with
van der Sloot, who said he had not harmed
Holloway.
Since that time, investigators have proven nothing
different.
Now 19, van der Sloot says that, in a way, the
night he met Holloway has never ended.
"All the time, all the time it's going around my
head," he told Cuomo.
While he is no longer being detained,
van der Sloot is still a prisoner of the speculation
surrounding the student's disappearance.
"I think for a lot of parts I've been unfairly
treated, because I had nothing to do with
this, and a lot of people seem to think I do," he
said.
That's due in large part to his initial statements
about the night the 18-year-old went missing.
At first, van der Sloot and two friends said
that they had dropped Holloway off at her hotel
at the end of the evening, but later van der Sloot
said that he had taken the American teen to the
beach.
The lie landed him in jail, but after three
months, police could not tie him to any crime.
He was released in September and talked to ABC
News in February to explain his deception.
"I didn't want anyone to know. I didn't want
anyone to know I left her at the beach," he said.
That explanation hasn't stopped the media scrutiny.
"It's goes too far, definitely in the American
media," van der Sloot said. "I was here with my
girlfriend on vacation, and some tourists filmed
us. … And they called me a predator on the beach
again, going after a girl, American girl, an
American tourist.
And I was there on the beach with my girlfriend
that I had been with for six months now."
'I Would Have Done a Lot of Things Differently'
Van der Sloot, a Dutch citizen, returned to Holland
for college, abandoning his onetime dream of
attending school in the United States.
He says life is normal enough there.
He's meeting girls, and making friends is not a
problem.
When he comes back to Aruba, though, the past
still haunts him.
"Of course it doesn't feel good when like, you saw,
people putting the cameras out and screaming,
'Where is she? What did you do with her?'
And that doesn't feel good. It doesn't make you
feel good," he said.
Van der Sloot says he often thinks about how
different life would be if he had gone home earlier
that night and had never taken Holloway to the beach.
"And I say, 'Yeah, what if? What if?' But I can't
change all those things anymore," he said.
"Of course if I would have known all this would have
happened, I would have done a lot of things differently."
His concern now is for his future, and
van der Sloot says he wants the killer to be caught so
he can close that chapter of his life for good.
"That's the worst part, because there's always the
'if' question. What if? You know? You were the last
person with her, all these things."
"And if no one knows or no one comes forward or
tells or yeah, they don't solve the case, you're
always gonna have people saying, you were the
last person with her."

Here once again is Joran's pitch for us to
allow him to get away with Natalee's
disappearance.
No Joran! Not now! Not ever!
You owe Natalee's Family closure...
