I couldn't resist doing this, so I did it, after putting it off for as long as I could. This Tarot Reading is based on Joran Van Der Sloot, and his actions immediately precceding the murder, the murder itself, and the aftermath of same. For Joran's SIGNIFICATOR I drew the card ot the TWO OF WANDS, which describes his bjective of seducing the Alabama vacationing high school student. The remainder of the cards show the rpogression of events, from Joran's perspective. The first card I drew was THE EMPRESS, which seems to suggest that he felt like he was being lead on in such a way that natalie semed to be welcoming, encouraging, maybe even overtly submissive in a tantalizing kind of way. This card was reversed, however, so it could be that he was misreading her, reading what he wanted to read into her personality. However it was, the next card I drew was the FOUR OF PENTACLES. This seems to indicate that we are now at the period of time where he has successfully gotten her out into an apparently porivste area, where he could do pretty much hat he wanted, she was now at his mercy, and it is obvious he is not going to take no for an answer. He knows what he wants, and he is going to get it, if he has to take it by force. The next card drawn in this progression is the NINE OF CUPS, and since this card is not reversed, this would imply that she "gave in" to his demands, so that in his mind, to his way of thinking, he didn't actually rape her. Next comes something that is really strange, the card of TEMPERANCE. What this all but screams out to me, is that since Joran got what he wanted, it seemed only fair in hi smind to let his buds in on the action as well. And so they probably availed themselves of the situation, to whatever extent they desired. Remember, the girl was in no position to resist at this point, nor would it have done her any good whatsoever if she had. I surmise that these series of events took place along the area of the Lighthose, caled the Caliornia Lighthouse, that was at first mentioned so widely.
They then returned to the area from which they left, and Joran and Naalie was left on the beach. So far, so good. But now, Natalie is incensed at the way she has been treated. There is a very good chance this girl was a virgin prior to this, and if so this would have been all the more traumatic, and enraging, especially seeing as how Natalie was a girl who pretty much had her future all mapped out, had goals in life, and took her self and her values seriously. She was probably enraged at the treatment she had received, and at this point vowed revenge on Van Der Sloot. A bitter argment ensued, as suggested by the card of THE LOVERS, which is reversed. The argumnent unfortunately turns into a shouting match, and then gets physical, and at one point, Joran strikes the girl in the face as hard as he can with his open fist. Whether there is any other pysical assault followng this or not is unclear, but whatever the case, the girl dies.
That leaves the question, what to do with the body. For the answer to this, I drew the card of THE HERMIT. The obvious implication here is that he body wa stken to some remote, generally inaccessible, foreboding spot, and dumped there. But not buried. I think th ereasoning here is that a grave would offer some short term protection for the body, making it easier to be found, as experts undert\stand how to look for shallow graves, and search dogs as well know how tosniff them out. What is suggested by the final card THE SUN, is that by leaving her out pretty much in the open, this would add to the decomposition by way of exposure to the elements, and especially the heat of the sun, and in addition would allow more access to predatory birds and animals, which would make short work of her. Making it far more unlikely that the body would ever be found. And, if I am right, unfortunately, it probably never will be found. Abotu the best that might be hoped for is the eventual discovery of a skull, a large femer bone, etc. But if the disposal tok place in a truly remote, wild, rugged area, this too is very unlikely. And, seeing as how things have turned out the wya they have, it is somwhat fairly likely that Van Der Sloot, and the Kalpoe Brothers, will never be charged with a crime. Or, if they are, and are found guilty, I would suppose they will spend very lttle time, if any, behind bars afterwards.
