Joran Van Der Sloot 'Not the Same Boy'
Feb. 6, 2006—
The disappearance of Alabama teen
Natalee Holloway, who has not been seen since a
high school graduation trip to Aruba last May,
captivated the nation and devastated her friends and
family.
But the parents of one of the prime suspects in
Holloway's disappearance say the investigation
has also devastated their son.
"I think Joran is not anymore the same boy,"
Paul van der Sloot said in his first interview since
his son was released from prison.
Joran van der Sloot, 18, was arrested June 9 along
with two friends,
Surinamese nationals Staish Kalpoe, 18, and
Deepak Kalpoe, 21, on suspicion of involvement in
Holloway's disappearance.
Van der Sloot was released from prison last September
and is attending college in Holland.
"We tried to raise our kids in a way that they are
able to trust people, and I think a lot of trust is
gone," Anita van der Sloot said.
Parents Stand by Son, Deny Being
Uncooperative
Some people, including Holloway's mother,
Beth Holloway Twitty, have accused
Joran van der Sloot of lying, insisting he knows
more about the teen's disappearance.
But Joran's parents stand by him.
"If we would have had any feeling that he was
involved in something, Paul would have taken him
to the police station and said: 'Here, hold him, he
did something. He deserves his punishment,'"
Anita van der Sloot said.
Paul van der Sloot has been accused of advising
his son to keep quiet and not to cooperate.
He has denied both claims.
"I told him to cooperate so much as possible,"
Paul van der Sloot said.
The van der Sloots said they had a lot of sympathy
for Holloway's mother. But they also believe Twitty
has carried on an unfair and relentless media
campaign against their family and are critical of
the way the U.S. media have covered the case.
They will talk about those issues on Tuesday's
"Good Morning America."

I am glad I did not watch this show
and most likely won't watch the
"Good Morning America." either.
-Your son is not the same boy because you are
most likely watching him and he knows he will
repeat his crime one day soon. It is unfortunate
he chose to stop cooperating with the ALE.
This shows something stinks ...
If you get the drift. I am never going to stop
blogging for Natalee until the
Natalee Holloway's mystery is solved!
