Greta told Mr. Twitty that Deepak had said he was "no longer friends with Joran," apparently because he resented being implicated by Joran.
(I think Greta's implication was that Deepak might be "turned" in this case and could possibly become a useful source of information.)
If Deepak is no longer friends with Sloot because Sloot was trying to implicate him, then it is very possible that Deepak had nothing to do with what transpired, so there may be nothing to be gained from a 'turning'.
Thanks! I do appreciate the kind words.
Anyone else who has posted reasonable and thoughtful responses to me, forgive me if I don't get back to you.
My time in front of the keyboard has been severely limited lately, and what with the terrible news from London this morning, I have a sinking feeling that every chance I get to check into FR, I'll have to use my time looking for news on that topic instead of Natalee.
But my prayers and best wishes are still with Natalee's parents. Anything I've said that is critical of their recent behavior is not meant unkindly, at all. I just hope they take whatever tack is best for them to get the answers they so desperately want.
