Joran confession video :

Here’s my translation for all you english speaking people out there…
(I’m not a translator but did my best to use the correct words, don’t mind the typos either)
It goes without saying that I don’t take responsibility for the quality of the translation.

Joran :

- ” this is not normal, this is crazy…. oke i’ve known that girl for about two days,
not even two days! ” I met her that same day… the time spent with her was only about 3,5hrs total…total!”
” I can proof that half an hour after I said I left her on the beach that I was home already”
” I hope I don’t get screwed over this for ever…”

under cover reporter : nah there not going to try anymore man…

Joran : “Look i’ve never told anyone about this… it’s not easy for me, not even know with you…”

uver cover reporter : “I know Joran, but sometimes you need to get things of your chest…”

joran : “it’s just… well… whe’ll never be found again…never”

under cover reporter : ” You dumped her in de sea… ? ”

Joran : ” yes ”

under cover reporter : ” Alone ? ”

Joran : “Yes”

Reporter : ” how? did you swim or something ? ”

Joran : ” no… ”

reporter : “what then ?… it’s bizar that’s not possible man…”

Joran : ” well i know some people ok?… even at that age i was hanging out with these people ok? people who can help me.. but i’m not naming anyone ”

reporter : ” ofcourse ofcourse ”

joran ” they’ve always been good to me and I’ve always be good for them, so yeah… i’m not saying his/her name… but it’s not my parents or family ”

Joran : ” well it’s just a good friend of mine, with a boat ”

reporter : ” well then it’s done, i’ve you brought her out with a boat… that’s it.. further that 2 miles… they won’t find her back.. ”

Peter R de vries : ” this is nothing less then a confession! now the question remains who his friend was…”

Joran : yeah well look, this friend of mine is smart and older

reporter : ” why would he want to do that for you ”

joran : ” we’ve been friends a long time ”

reporter : ” joran i’ve you ever call me for something like that, i would help you too, you know that… but you have to think about such things… ”

joran : ” well this person, you know… i will take that name to the grave… i owe him that… he has a boat and that boat was right there ”

joran : ” when we were at the beach… she just didnt move anymore… really fucked up… so i called my friend… i used a payphone… not my cellphone ”

joran :” i asked him to help me, please please can you come over here… and don’t call the police! what ever you do don’t call the police please ”

joran : ” he came there and it was fixed… but your know she was looking normal you know… ”

joran : ” he told me i have to go home, i’ll take care of this. then I left ”

reporter : ” this man has a golden heart man… a golden heart ”

joran : ” i know ”

reporter : ” I’ll help you with some money, you have to give this guy some money for this ”

joran : ” I’ll give my life for him ”

reporter : ” that’s not necisarry… but financially you can help him… and I will make sure you can help him financially ”

Joran : ” he’s really good ”

reporter : ” I always told you, i knew it ”

JOran : ” I feel relieved… i never told anyone about this… I had no idea she was a rich american girl ”

reporter : ” Fucking friends of family Bush ”

Joran : ” that doesn’t matter , i’m telling you honestly i didn’t know it then… she only told me she was rich you know ”

reporter : ” ofcourse you didn’t know joran… nobody would have known. Relax Joran the weight is off your shoulders… it will be fine man

reporter : ” I’ll give this story a place in my hart and keep it there… it’s a finished story… for me the book is closed (duth saying) ”

reporter : ” I’m happy this case is closed for you ”

Joran : ” so am I “

It is so obvious that his father disposed of her body. Also in this section of the confession he doesn’t really say anything about her shaking, etc. He just says “She didn’t move anymore.” I believe he raped her and in the process she either died or became incapacitated and looked dead. His words and actions are those of a predator. It’s pretty clear he is a sexual predator. He could date people and have sex if he wanted to – he likes the act of having the power over someone. Dating isn’t enough for him. Very frightening that our world is producing people like him who look normal and are basically sub-human.

Those boys in Aruba are like in a pretend mafia organization. Every one in their little high school marijuana /sex club couldn’t wait to be a “team player” and to take a hit for the team. 1) The Kalpoe boys lied for Joran. 2) Koen lied for Joran. 3) The DJ lied for Joran. And there are more. This does not necessarily mean that any of these men were involved or even knows what happened, it just means that they wanted to be in the “in” crowd and were almost fighting each other to jump into the line of fire for the team. All for one, one for all. Like Clintons Travelgate etc. How far people will go for acceptance or for ambition. Just look at the stupid things Joran did to try to be accepted by Van der Eem. (the man who recorded him in Holland)
Here is my analysis:
Jorans description of the fictional Daury was a conglomeration of many people he knows. 1) Daury whose name he used. 2) Koen who was “My very best friend since childhood” 3) Lorenzo, the sinister and reclusive Clint Eastwood type character who lives alone and cannot be bothered with much. 4) Paulus, the wise man who says “keep to your routine as to not arouse suspicion” and so on.
Now to narrow down who Jorans real accomplice is:
1) We already know it isn’t the real Daury. (He was not in Aruba at the time of the crime)
2) Joran dismisses and insults the Kalpoe brother on the tapes, so they are off the list of suspects.
3) It seems that Koen is too much of a sissy crybaby for Joran to have considered calling. And he wouldn’t have had the cool headedness to guide Joran as to strategy while checking for signs of life in Natalie.
4) Lorenzo is probably too high in drug dealer society to bother with a worm such as Joran. But Joran also mentions on the tapes “I pleaded with him to help me and not to call the cops”. A high ranking drug distributor would never call the cops if Joran had something on him as well. So maybe Lorenzo would have had no other choice but to help Joran, “Daury won’t turn against me because I have stuff on him as well”.
5) Possibly his daddy Paulus, but I kind of doubt that Joran, with such an unusually active and loyal group of cronies would have wanted to call his Papa first (assuming I am correct in postulating that all these boys are almost like a Mafia or a Scientology type cult in their loyalties to each other).
Conclusion: The identity of the real Daury, the man who helped Joran dump Natalies body in the ocean is Freddy Arambatzis Zedan. It is so suspicious that Freddy didn’t try to join with the other boys who were excitedly conjuring up false alibis for Joran, to be included in this grand adventure,” just like in the movies”. Freddy was staying overnight at Jorans pad the night Natalie disappeared. He seems to be a confident and cool headed individual who is also central to the clique of teenaged drug dealing date rapists, (he was later arrested for activities involving the date rape drugs, he would empathize with Jorans situation). And also, Joran “had stuff on him” as well. I think that after Freddy dumped the body, he had had enough of the “adventure” and now wanted to stay out of it as much as possible. The other boys, still intrigued by the whole thing were excitedly trying to outdo each other to get more involved in the cover-up.
