DAN ABRAMS SHOW, 3/24/06, HELI'S TRANSCRIPT HERE
Abrams comes on next where I live.
I don't see Heli, I'll listen to Dan & try to do a synopsis. If Heli comes in I will give her the floor!
ETA: Heli was transcribing, I didn't know that. Her transcript is a couple of posts after my synopsis.

DAN ABRAMS, 3/24, NOT VERBATIM, NOT COMPLETE
With apologies to Heli, Transcription Goddess...
DAN: Big news out of Aruba...Dompig said Natalee may have died from drinking and/or taking drugs, not murder. Says there are witnesses...in interview with 48 hours, a witness who may have info about burial site.
TROY ROBERTS, GUEST:
DAN: What is the reason Dompig offers for theory?
TROY: He has been working on it for a while. No secret that Natalee was drinking, but new eyewitnesses have come forward tha tshe was drinking excessively...almost lethal amounts of alcohol. Also witnesses that say she was in possession of drugs, won't tell me what kind she might have had. No one said she was using drugs.
SOUND BITE:
TROY: Do you believe her body is recoverable, and on the island?
DOMPIG: I do.
-----
TROY: he says her body went into shock, they buried her in haste, and later moved her to another location. That's where they will focus search.
DAN: He is not saying what he is basing this on...he's not saying why he believes that is how she died.
TROY: He would not share all info for obvious reasons, he has been working with Dutch and with FBI coming up with this theory. He says he has a strong case that could eventually solve this case. He believes that the body can be recovered, that it is still on the island...this theory is driving the search that will be in April.
SOUND BITE:
TROY: What is state of investigation:
DOMPIG: Critical last phase.
TROY: Do you believe case will be solved?
DOMPIG: Yes, I do.
-------
DAN: We hear all the time prosecutors, le, saying we are about to solve case.
TROY: He is shaking the tree here, I think...hoping others will come forward with info. I think this is part of agenda & why he went public.
DAN: Do you think he is competent?
TROY: I found him competent, thoughtful and sincere...he has resolved to solve case, reputation--- has been bruised...he wants to solve it.
DAN AND PANEL:
DAN: Clint, how does Dompig know this stuff?
CLIFF: This is a theory...this idea of the dunes...has existed since day she disappeared. As late as Jan. this info came out...what I want to know...if he has had info since April, instead of F16s why doesn't he get some backhoes & guys with rakes?
DAN: In Oct. we were asking him about case...
PLAYS CLIP OF DOMPIG FROM OCT.
Dompig: A lot of things we are looking at, maybe an accident that might have happened.
DAN: Susan, this seesm to be what Dompig is saying NOW.
SUSAN: Something not right about all this, are they trying to restore reputation by saying it is accident? How can they show it is not murder?
MICHELLE: This is a little unfair, a timetable. I don't think what he is doing now may prove any cases against suspects. We have been critical of the government in Aruba...there were a lot of goof ups...but he is working on a lot of different theories.
DAN: I haven't been that critical of Aruban gov't.
DAN: THis case is crucial to country of Aruba. He was talking about accident in Aruba and PEOPLE MIGHT FEEL THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT (my emphasis). It doesn't seem that helpful to me he has witnesses who saw Natalee with drugs.
CLIFF: I would have come up with idea of...it is not your fault, young man, she was drinking doing drugs, you buried her...it is not your fault, come clean...if THIS is the version ok, fine.
DAN READS COMMENT FROM DOMPIG ABOUT DRUGS AND DRINKING...witnesses saw her, we don't have proof she used drugs.
CLIFF: I have people who tell me Joran snuck her off the isaldn because of her mother.
SUSAN: It is like he is now on the defense team of J2K.
DAN: He is saying maybe she died of drug overdose, maybe there was sexual assault...then they concealed body.
SUSAN: They've said they had sex with her...if she was drunk/on drugs she could not consent. If you listen to her mom, she will tell you Natalee was A student...
DAN: I love her mom but the notion her mom said she doesn't drink/do drugs...that does not add up
SUSAN: What I am saying...her mom knows her better than anyone, she is the one who can tell us...she was not the type to do this back home.
DAN: Her mom may not know that...I don't want to get into whether she is a drinker...Natalee is the victim here.
MICHELLE: Maybe the info is coming from someone Dompig didn't have access to in the beginning. I disagree with Susan about what Beth may know about her daughter's drinking.
DAN: Clint, Dompig mentioned "lethal" amount of alcohol..how would they know?
CLINT: Students admit all that, no one else died who might have been drinking the same thing she was...good chance someone put drug in her drink.
MICHELLE: I don't think he is blaming her.
DAN: If you are going to say she had drugs, you had better have very good proof.
MICHELLE: I don't agree, I don't think Dompig is putting blame on Natalee, he is trying to solve...
DAN: Then it had better be true and relevant if he is throwing stuff out there like that.

NOT VERBATIM NOT COMPELTE
Dan:
The island's Deputy Chief is now saying Natalee likely died from drinking and taking drugs, not murder. He says there are witnesses who say Natalee had drugs in her possession and was drinking heavily on the day she disappeared.
Joining me is Troy Roberts from CBS. What is the reasoning that Dompig is offering for his theory?
Troy:
He's been working on this for awhile. It's no secret she was drinking, new ppl have come forward, eyewitnesses, he says it was almost lethal amounts of alcohol, more witnesses have come forward saying she was in possession of drugs, but not that they saw her use drugs.
Dan:
Dompig is suggesting illegal drug?
Troy:
Yes, but he wouldn't identify the drugs.
(Plays videotape)
What is his theory, she passes out from drinking and doing drugs and she's buried somewhere ...
TroY:
Her body went into shock, she overdosed and the suspects disposed of the body illegally...it was buried hurriedly and moved at a later time...that's where they're going to be focusing the search
Dan
He's not saying what he's basing this on, he has a witness but he's not saying why he thinks this is how she died and these young men were involved with disposing of the body
Troy;
He's been working with the NFI and the FBI in developing this theory, he's not pulling this out of his head.. He says he has a strong case that could eventually solve this case, he believes it will be solved. He believes this body can be recovered, it's still on the island and this theory is driving this next search that will happen in April
Dan
We hear this in cases all the time where the lead investigator or Prosecutor says they will solve the case, it sounds from your interview that he's saying they're close to the next step
Troy:
I think he's shaking the tree a little bit, he believes there are other ppl involved more than the current suspects. I think that's part of his agenda, and one of the reasons he went public
Dan:
Does he seem like a confident guy, we've had him on the phone but I've never met him
Troy:
I found him confident, sincere and resolved to solve this case. His reputation has been bruised because of this case going unsolved all this time.
Joining me now is Susan Flan Michelle Suskauer and Clint van Zandt. CLint, how does DOmpig know this stuff
Clint
This is a theory, this idea of the dunes has existed since the day she disappeared, as late as January this info came up that she was buried and reburied. We're heading into APril, if he's had the info since January, why don't we rent a couple of backhoes and some guys with rakes and search those dunes
Dan:
Dompig in October, we were asking him about where things stood, what his theory was, and here's what he said (plays tape)
Susan:
Nobody knows what happened, something about that interview doesn't hit me right, it seems pretty self serving,...Aruba's reputation has been bruised, "wouldn't it be great if I could show you we didn't mess up" I just wonder about him coming forward saying he knows where the body is
Dan:
The idea, Aruba is for tourists, this is no minor case in Aruba, what I don't get is why they're waiting until April
Suskauer;
Well you know, we're trying to put him on our timetable
Dan:
Hey man, are you saying it should be the chill out defense?
Suskauer;
What he's doing now may not prove anything against the suspects. This is a government we've been very critical of but I think a lot of ppl have, there are a lot of groups who have been very critical of everything they've done
Dan:
There's no question they made mistakes
Suskauer;
Why are we criticizing him, if he's been working on it and he didn't have that info until a short time ago, why didn't he go ahead and put it out there to satify the american media seems to be what everybody's asking.
Dan
You've been down there Clint, this is a crucial case for Aruba..we also have the possiblity of some kind of accident, some ppl may feel they're responsible, that sounds like Dompig was suggesting in October that there was an overdose, then they went and found a burial place, but it doesn't seem to be helpful that he's out there saying there are witnesses who saw her with drugs
Clint:
My best case scenario...on Day 1 I would have come up with the idea it's not your fault yong man, she was drinking, you panicked, you buried her, come clean. If this is some version of that, fine, if this is a new version like we saw the last month ...it's a terrible thing to ressurect the island on the basis of this girl's overdose.
Dan:
He's saying she had drugs in her possession;
Clint:
I had ppl told me in Aruba that Joran snuck her off the island b/c she fought so much with her mother
Susan:
It's almost like Dompig is now on the defense team of Joran and K2's
Dan:
It sounds to like he's suggesting Natalee died of a drug overdose, there was some kind of sexual assault and then they put her body somewhere
Susan:
If she had so many drugs in her system, at different times these boys have said they had sex with her, she couldn't consent so that was rape...it may be some kind of combination of them not meaning to kill her...she never gave consent to those boys. This Mom who knows this girl has said her daughter was not a drinker...this was an A student girl, she wouldn't do this thing
Dan:
I love her Mom, but the notion that her mom would know she didn't drink or do drugs, that's not realistic
Susan:
What I'm saying is that her Mom knows her better than anybody, her mom will tell us what she was like, if she wasn't a drinker back home
Dan:
You don't know if her Mom would know that...Bottom line, Natalee is the victim here and I want to know what happened.
Michelle:
The chief is getting that information from somebody...there's info that he's using, I disagree with Susan that her mother knows exactly what Natalee would do or not.
Dan:
I want to figure out what happened to her, did you hear Troy's report that DOmpig is suggesting that she was drinking a lethal amount of alcohol...I don't know who those witnesses are that would say that
Clint:
The students were interviewed, nobody else died..not one other girl died on that trip who may have drank as much as Natalee...probably somebody put something in her drink...rohipnol or some other date rape drug
Dan:
Look, once you start talking about the victim having drugs in her possession, you better have good evidence to back that up and that it's relevant to the case
Michelle:
That's not putting the blame on Natalee if it's a fact.
Dan:
You can't throw that kind of stuff out there, it better be true when you talk about Natalee like that.

Just saw Dan's show. Although very critical of Aruba, at least now he is conciding that Beth may not know everything about her daughter and just because Beth says no doesn't make it so. I think that the 48 hrs show will probably not provide any new info, but it'll be interesting to listen to what Dompig says or doesn't say. From the short clip, his demeanor seems one of confidence. I think Dompig has figured it out. He's not showing all his cards at this point. He probably still has a couple of blanks to fill in. I also beleive that the interviews of the MB kids were very useful.
I really have a strong suspicion that Dompig has some forensic evidence now that he did not have earlier. I think they might have already recouped some remains but that they are being processed for analysis. I think all this talk about the dunes and knowing where the body is etc. is just an attempt to smoke someone out. I think his timing in talking to American press with the blessing of the prosecutor points to this.

MJ, can you alter the Thread title to reflect "Transcript" rather than "Synopsis" please. It will make it easier for those who are looking for a transcript I think.
I didn't want to start a whole new thread for my transcript.

That buffoon also said that last night on Rita's show.
What a moron; a proper grid elimination that purports to be seeking a dead body does NOT go in there with a backhoe and rakes.
Clint van Zandt's comments are just his way of ridiculing ALE.

NH is an A student, so she can't have ever done drugs.
JVdS is an A student but he is a serial rapist and predator.
Go figure.

I never cease to be amazed at what comes out of the TH mouths. Not only plain old WRONG facts, but the logic...???
Dang, I hate to sound like an old cranky woman, but I swear I would have been kicked out of class in school if I had used the kind of logic I hear DAILY on these shows.

Not only the lack of logic or consistency, they obviously have no idea they sound like such buffoons.
