Greta:
Live on the phone is Jossy Mansur, Managing Editor of Diario Newspaper. Jossy, so what is the latest? Is he headed back to jail? Will there be an arrest warrant for Joran van der Sloot:
Jossy:
They did request the arrest warrant, it was originally denied but tomorrow they are appealing the decision because the prosecution insists they want this man arrested.
Greta:
Who is the man that Joran identifies as the person who dumped Natalee's body in the ocean?
Jossy:
What we found out today about that is that there are two persons that go by the same name and one of them is in Aruba, he had a press conference today in the office of his lawyer, we were present there, and the one who was there has vehemently denied having anything to do with Joran that night, the boat or throwing a body overboard
Greta:
How about #2, the other person?
Jossy:
Prosecutor claims to have identified him and located him so far
Greta:
Does he say #2, which is it? #1 who allegedly did the body dumping or #2 of Natalee?
Jossy:
#1 denied everything today, so #2 is the one that they're looking for
Greta:
Do you have anymore information about the second person and I guess the name is Daury, is that the name?
Jossy:
Yeah, D-a-u-r-y
Greta:
Do you know anything about this other person?
Jossy:
No, we don't know anything about either one of them. The one who is here now we know was born in Curacao, he lived there for awhile, he lived in Aruba for awhile and then moved on to Holland
Greta:
And I guess as of May of 2005 this first Daury was not in Aruba, at least that's what's being said tonight. Is that correct?
Jossy:
That's correct, not during that month that this took place
Greta:
So now the hunt is on for Daury #2. Does the prosecutor have any leads as to who he might be?
Jossy:
They know who he is, they know where he is. Whether they've contacted him so far, I don't know
Greta:
What does the prosecutor say his intentions are?
Jossy:
His intention is to continue with this case, his intentions are to arrest Joran whenever he sets foot on the island, that he can do because he has the competence to do that on his own.
Greta:
Are Joran's parents speaking out at all?
Jossy:
No, they're very quiet.
