Hello Roy,

On Sunday December 30 2007 09:19, you wrote to me:

 RW>>> I was in bed with my wife.

 MvdV>> Spouses vouching for each other will not impress the court. You
 MvdV>> may be in it together.

 RW> That was only one albi that would have applied...the other is that
 RW> there is no record of my traveling to Aruba (air, boat, etc), nor do I
 RW> possess a passport.

So you say but we have only your word for it and if you travelled on a false
passport in a false, name there would be no record. Not in the name of Roy
Witt.

 RW> I doubt that there is even a direct connection between San Antonio, TX
 RW> and Aruba...

Natalee Holloway got to Aruba from the US. So can you.

 RW> slow boat to China might work, but I'd then have to book passage,
 RW> which would have to leave a record of my travels...that doesn't exist,
 RW> since I haven't left the US fordecades.

I don't think that if any evidence against you turns up, you will be believed
on your word.

 MvdV>> You mean where was I the night Natalee Holloway disappeared?

 MvdV>>  I have no idea. I don't keep logs of my whereabouts. I have no
 MvdV>> alibi. Had I known in advance I would need one, I could have
 MvdV>> arranged something. As it is, I have no idea where I was that
 MvdV>> night. Whenever that was. Nor do I know where I was on most
 MvdV>> other nights in that year.

 RW> Then you are more susceptable to investigation than I am...

On the contrary. You were very quick to come up with an alibi. In itself that
is suspicious. Very few people know ofhand what they did or where they were on
a random date over two years ago. "No idea"is the normal reaction of any one
not involved.

 MvdV>> I am not implicated. I had never even heard of Natalee Holloway
 MvdV>> before her disappearance was reported by the press. No evidence
 MvdV>> implicating me can turn up as there is no implication.

 RW> Since you have no alibi, you're now suspect.

Then so is 99% percent of the world's population.

 RW>>> Bacterial activity slows to a stop around 40 degrees, F...

 MvdV>> No, it just slows down.

 RW> Way down, almost to non-exisitant. Which means there could be remains
 RW> long after you think...

Clutching at straws.

 MvdV>> Milk and meat still spoil in a refrigerator. Just takes longer.

 RW> Much longer..

After a month the milk surely has spoiled, even in a good refrigerator. After
two years, it will have crawled out by itself...

 MvdV>> A standard steel oil drum will not survive two years in sea
 MvdV>> water.

 RW> Oh, by that time the body will already have been devoured by inactive
 RW> bacteria...

Either way, there will be no evidence left.

 RW>>> Wood? Since when is an oil drum made of wood?

 MvdV>> I never said the wooden container is an oil drum.

 RW> Whiskey barrel then? Do they have such things in Aruba?

Sure. Why not?

 RW>>> If it were left floating, it would have been found. Bodies wash
 RW>>> up on shore...

 MvdV>> Only some of them. Aruba is a small island in a very big ocean.

 RW> Did I mention Aruba? There's a whole continent just off shore...

Hundreds of kilometers away and in he wrong direction relative to the current.

Anyway, I go for Ockaham's Razor. No need to postulate a drum or barrel to
explain why she was not found: if she was in the sea, the sharks got her.

 MvdV>>>> If there ever was a body. For all we know, she may still be
 MvdV>>>> alive, not wanting to be found.

 RW>>> I doubt

Right, so you admit that there is reasonable doubt there was a crime...

 RW>>>  that she would put her parents through what we've seen
 RW>>> in the past two years. She would have had to have a very bad
 RW>>> relationship with them to even think about that.

 MvdV>> These things happen and Natalle Holloway was no angel.

 RW> She certainly didn't deserve the treatment she got in Aruba.

What treatment? Everyone went out of their way to solve this. We even send two
F16's qirh special detection equipment all the way from The Netherlands. On the
tab of the Dutch tax payer. She got a lot more than most other teenagers in the
world who disappear.

 RW>>> he's also a murderer...that just needs to be proven.

 MvdV>> Only in your mind,

 RW> I'm not alone in that thinking...

Neither are the people that say the earth is flat. When there is one, there is
always a follower. Does not mean they are right...

 MvdV>> That says more about you than about the ex-suspect.

 RW> What it says is that you have a closed mind because the suspect is a
 RW> dutchman and the victim is an American...

To me it looks the other way around. Had this been a Dutch girl and an American
boy, you would all be screaming for his release g=had he been arrested...

FYI: Joram van der Sloot said in an interview that he would have preferred had
there been a trial so that his innocence could have been laid down in a court
ruling. As it is, he considers going for compensation for unjust detention. I
think he has a good leg to stand on....

 RW> closed minds are also typical of dutchmen...stubborn as a mule.

Watch it, you may break that mirror.


Cheers, Michiel
