Croes Update
From Aruba - It's been suggested that recently arrested Steven Gregory Croes was in Carlos and Charlies the night of Natalee Holloway's disappearance, and some think he joined the group in the car later that night.
As yet, I have no confirmation of that report.
The AP is saying that the ruling as to whether or not Paul Van der Sloot can see his son has been made, but not yet disclosed. I was told by a reader that he would not be allowed to visit, however, another reader informs me that Fox is reporting he will be able to visit with Joran. Likely we'll have to see if other media outlets confirm the Fox report, or refute it.
I've had my head down looking into some interesting things from different readers and took the initial reader report as a simple report, as I did know that court was over and figured the ruling on visitation was simply released.
Additionally, from first link above -
the court barred van der Sloot's lawyer, Antonio Carlo, from visiting the teen, effectively removing him from the case, said Attorney General spokeswoman Mariaine Croes.
The court granted prosecutors' request to remove Carlo because he had visited one of two former security guards who had been detained and released in the case, authorities said.
Croes said the Dutch teenager has a team of lawyers, so Carlo's removal will not leave van der Sloot without representation. The spokeswoman is not related to Steve Croes.
How dare he try to investigate and get to the bottom of this! /sarcasm

Uh huh, lawyering up big time. Dream team Aruban style.
It is not the law that is so different - it is the inept approach by the police and detectives, et al involved. They seem to be busier protecting themselves, friends, prominent people, etc. and worrying about their country's "image." All the while the whereabouts or condition of Natalee seems to have slipped to secondary importance.
Also, I wonder, if they think there is a possibility that this will lead to a big crack in some criminal ring so they have focused on the larger opportunity, rather than just on locating Natalee. Her parents must be going crazy. It just seems to be taking way too long. Something else must be going on inside that police station.
