In case you havent followed the story of Natalee Holloway, she vanished on a dutch colony in south america a while ago, and her mother and dr. Phil have started a ridiculous campaign against Aruba and Holland including boycots. Now shocking new evidence has been found:
Dr Phil manipulates Natalee Holloway confession tape
The breaking news (11/23/05) is that the Dutch forensic audio lab has reported back (based on a statement from Aruban police) that the Dr. Phil tape has been altered inappropriately. Here is how they are quoted in an AP news article:
The tapes played on U.S. television appear to have been altered to suggest Deepak admitted to a sexual act, our forensic investigators tell us, the original tape did not say that," Gerald Dompig, chief of police for the Dutch Caribbean island, said in a statement. "I have reviewed the findings of the Forensic Institute in Holland...those results state that the tapes were not authentic in regard to statement made by Deepak Kalpoe," Dompig said
Jamie Skeeters: If you did it, don't take a poly from me or anyone else, because you won't pass it. If you did not do it, you're foolish. And the question I will ask you is if you intentionally killed her.
Deepak Kalpoe: No
(cut here, as though we are missing parts of the interview)
Jamie Skeeters: If it was an accident, I can help all of you. And if you guys were partying, even if somebody had given her a date drug
(Sounds like another cut here)
Jamie Skeeters: I'm sure she had sex with all of you.
(Deepak's response is an entirely different volume level, very faint, almost inaudible)
Deepak Kalpoe: She did.
--Note: the end of "did" is very abrupt, almost like another word or at least dead air space of ambient sound should be expected to follow. He might very well have said "She didn't" or "She did not" with the sounds after "did" digitally cut. ---
--Note: After "did," it sounds like a cut and splice here, prior to the beginning of the nextsentence. On the tv screen it showed captioned word "You'd" at the start, but that is not audible... on the tape it starts with the word "be", further indication of a splice. -----
Deepak Kalpoe: ...be surprised how simple it was.
(obvious cut here)
Jamie Skeeters: Let me ask you this... that for $25 you can pay a bartender to slip your date a date rape drug in her drink. Does that happen?
Deepak Kalpoe: I never drugged someone
