The things Deepak Kalpoe said about Natalee Holloway were left out of the Netflix doc
‘Her mother, claiming her to be the goody-two-shoes. Enough with this BS already’

In Aruba in 2005, Natalee Holloway went missing after getting into a car with Joran van der Sloot, Satish Kalpoe, and Deepak Kalpoe. Alongside their friend, Satish and Deepak were arrested by Aruban police a number of times. Though no charges were ever brought against them, and they denied all wrongdoing, their names were forever attached to the case.
In 2006, following a report on the Dr Phil show about the case, the brothers sued CBS for defamation, claiming the audio was deliberately edited to paint them as guilty. Beth Holloway and her husband sued the brothers a year later, but both lawsuits were later dismissed.
Though highly controversial, the following interview was never proven to be true or false.
There are two versions of Deepak’s tape about
In the months following Holloway’s disappearance, Dr Phil’s polygraph expert, Jamie Skeeters, flew out to Aruba seeking answers. He sat down with Deepak to talk about the case, and while Dr Phil and CBS claim Deepak knew it was being recorded, he said otherwise during court appearances. He also alleged that the show had heavily edited the audio.
“To tell you quite frankly, dressed like a sl*t, talked like one, too,” Deepak said, in what he later described as edited audio. “Would go into a car with three strange guys, and her mother, claiming her to be the goody-two-shoes. Enough with this BS already.”
Jamie Skeeters asked Deepak whether Natalee had s*x with all three of them, and he replied: “She did. You’d be surprised how easy it was.”

Deepak then said, “I’ve never drugged someone”, before admitting that he was aware of the drug ecstasy, and that some use it to spike drinks.
“If I knew were the body is, I would tell them a long time ago,” he added after another question. “Let them start the trial and get this over with. I don’t care.”
Finally, he was asked about his life amidst the case, which he described as “empty” because: “I don’t have any close friends anymore. They are all gone.”
Later, after Deepak alleged that the recording had been altered, a second version was made public on platforms like CNN. In it, Deepak said they didn’t have s*x with Natalee.
