Peter De Vries first report on the case(55.40 min)
The criminal investigators on Aruba where very dissatisfied about the way the program Opsporing Verzocht was broadcasted last year. By order of chief officer Karin Jansen it was not allowed to ask questions about two crucial points in the statements of Joran van der Sloot:
The way he came home that night
and
the disappeared shoes.Those are questions which, generally speaking, belong on top of the list. Instead of that, in Opsporing Verzocht the impression had to be created that the investigation was not focused on Joran and his friends, but that this was about an extended investigation
(56.32 min) Voice-over:
the top of the criminal investigators had the idea that chief inspector Jansen wanted to keep the role of Joran and his friends as small as possible. The way the show is filled in and did not provide any useful tips, is considered as a missed change by the Aruban police
(58.31 min) Mr. Jansen reacted surprised and told the lawyer know that it is very unusual during the investigation, but after repeated insists she finally agreed. After office hours the lawyer made an appointment with her. Mr. Carlo told her during this conversation something was bordering him, and he wanted to clear his conscience.
After that he told her he knew Joran played a principle part in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, and that he was of the opinion that justice should know about this. But that it was up to them, to get proof.========================

The incident gives the criminal investigators the impression there is an outrageous conflict of interest between the Judge in training VanderSloot and the public prosecutor.
But, that was not the only thing what happened, because after the unexpected confrontation with official King, Mr. Bob Wit, who was in charge of the investigation, arranged another setback.The criminal investigators were waiting in front of the house with employees of the forensic laboratory. The order for search warrant concerned the address : the complete section. But on site, Mr. Wit decided that only this small apartment of Joran in the garden was allowed to be investigated. So, not the whole section and the rest of the house, what is what the police wanted to do.

The criminal investigation department on Aruba calls the action of the judge commissioner incomprehensible, and experienced this setback as a failure of the first order. Joran had explained that he had been that night at the house, and he appeared to have lied on vital points. Reasons enough for an extended search, but the being ready criminal investigation team, got suddenly almost literally, no meter space.
(52.03 min) The investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway knows an almost bizarre enumeration of failures and blunders. Arguments between the head officer and the procurer general. A high justice civil servant who, as a good friend of the suspected family Van der Sloot, travels ahead of the searching team, and stays in the house of the family. A search warrant, which is restricted to a minimum. And interrogations of the main suspect, which are, according to the criminal investigation team, frustrated because his father has, as a judge in training, access to the facts.
(52.48 min) We visit Joran?s parents again. We are more and more curious to their side of the story. But Jorans father is not very eager for a conversation. He does not want to come to the gate, so Peter phones him.
(53.46 min) Peter: it surprises me a bit that you are so reserved while, if the case is going to be solved, everybody is happy with it, I would think.
Paul: yes, but, because I am not very convinced that talking to you, will bring us closer to a solution, that is it.
We have a lot to tell, we have a lot to tell but we do think it is a bit too early; it has to happen at a moment when it is not unnecessary damaging for nobody.
