The tape that was aired during the Dr. Phil show was a (heavily edited) interview of Deepak Kalpoe by polygraphic expert Skeeters. Kalpoe wasn’t that aware he was being taped and what Skeerters’ real agenda was.

The fact is that this interview was conducted before the Kalpoe brothers were taken into custody a second time in august. And Dr. Phil has held on to this tape to use it in his show that aired on september 15. That’s a long time for something that might be used as evidence.

The Aruba prosecution has requested the tape for the investigation. Rumour has it that Dr. Phil will only hand it over if the prosecutor agrees to appear in the the show and Dr. Phil can hand it over live on television. At least, that is what Aruban chief inspector Dompig says.

Watch the videofragment here.

So once again it becomes clear that Dr. Phil is doing this all just to get higher ratings. I guess by now he’s going to turn over that tape no strings attached to save his sorry ass from bad publicity. And say it was all due to some miscommunication…….
