MSNBC- Nov 23/07 Michelle 'canoeist' Kosinski TRANSCRIPT
MSNBC Morning Show
November 23, 2007
** Once again, caught this in progress
Kosinski:
... is it physical or forensic, they're not telling, they really want to keep this close to the vest and not give anything away about that Cameron.
Cameron:
Also something that is starting again in addition to this investigation Michelle is the search for Natalee. Her father now believing that the search in deeper waters is where she could be if she's not alive
Michelle:
Yes, believe or not Cameron that's something they were planning even before they got word of these arrests, they've been planning that for a long time.
A wealthy boat salvage and construction tycoon in Texas who donated this boat and all the equipment, it's a 125 foot boat They'll be here next week. They say that they have the top sonar and search equipment in the word on this boat, about $500,000.00 worth of equipment ( lol that's peanuts in terms of this type of equipment) they're going to use to search the deep water and that's in an area that's never been searched because they didn't have this equipment before.
The Prosecutor told me that, you know when people talk about this being a last hope, it's true and it's not true. He told me that he promised the two brothers Deepak and Satish Kelpoe, that he promised them that he would decide by the end of the year whether to charge them or dismiss the case. He made that promise to them because under Dutch law you need to have someone tried within a reasonable length of time after a person is accused. He wanted to respect so he said we'll do this by the end of the year and if we don't charge you, we will dismiss you.
However, if they did dismiss this case against these suspects and found new evidence later, they still could absolutely re-open it. So it's not like the case goes away then.
Cameeron:
Alright Michelle, thank you for the update from Aruba. We'll be talking to you throughout the day, thank you.
Let's bring in Susan Filan, she's MSNBC's senior legal analyist and former prosecutor. Good Morning Susan.
It's so hard to understand, first I hear it described as the statute of limitations that the prosecutor is reaching, Michelle Kozinski explaining it more. What does it mean legally?
Filan:
I don't think there's any clarity yet on the status of this case under aruban law. We do know that aruban law is very difficult; people could be held for long periods of time without lawyers, being interrogated.
I think what's happening now is the prosecution is trying in some way to wrap this case up but what sounds odd is they're saying this is the start of a new phase of a new investigation with serious, significant and important new leads.
Cameron:
I'm going to ask you about that, because they're saying there's new evidence. You're a prosecutor, they have to bring it if they're saying it's sifnificant. It can't be all their stories are inconsistent, right?
Filan:
No, but what it could be, it doesn't necessarily have to be new forensic evidence or new physical evidence, it could be a new witness that's come forward, it could be an old witness that's come fowrard.
Cameron:
But it has to be substantial
Filan:
Sure it has to be more than what they had in the past otherwise they wouldn't be able to advance the case. And everything is sealed as you know Cameron, they're not going to reveal anything prior although we do know there is a hearing today, something's got to be revealed during that hearing today in order for the Judge to hold them for 8 more days.

Michelle Kosinski reporting live from Aruba again.
They're going to flog this one for everything it's worth. I'm sure arubans
are thrilled with this invasion. She didn't have anything meaningful to
report.

I wonder if she's been over to polish Freddy Maduro's knob yet?

250 foot growing to 350 foot; now shrunk to 125 foot.
And Heli's dead right; this is not an impressive amount of money for any such gear, much less the "top" gear in the world. Several million for a full set of kit (installed) would be more like it.
If this really is a new fit-out there is an aspect that worries me, and that is that at least one shake-down cruise is needed to get the bugs out and find out what the gear can really do (which is always less than claimed).
If Natalee really is in a metalic container then they have a small chance, but if she simply drowned as I think, then the chances of finding any remains are very small indeed, and will prove nothing anyway.
