For this to work, Beth Holloway and Jossy knew that they could not just produce the confessions and turn them over to the police currently in power. They would be most likely be claimed as forgeries. The police and the prosecution would have tossed out their evidence after their own forensic analysis. So, they needed an election which would oust the present investigators and the prosecution. Beth worked with Jossy to bombard the media with nightly interviews attempting to put the police and the prosecution in a bad light with their only hope to influence the Aruban people to oust the party in power.

Skeeters knew in his taped interview that he had nothing. If he had evidence he would have gotten that to the police. But later he (or others) put together the phony tape and turned it over to Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil probably unwittingly aired the bogus confession announcing that it would be turned over to the Aruban authorities after the election.

When the election didn't turn out as planned, the plan came apart. Skeeters, subsequently in scramble mode, sent the actual original tape to Aruba, so he could have an out (saying he was not the one who produced the manipulated version). Dr. Phil was left with a situation he didn't plan. Beth and Jug are left with only their confession documents which the police won't accept. In one last ditch effort, they got the Governor of Alabama to call for a boycott. They prepared the infamous blackmail "letter," asking that the police investigators and the prosecution be replaced (hey, can't blame them for trying), saying that without their demands being met, they would get this boycott in high gear. Perhaps, Jossy felt as though he had everything in place to get his candidates installed, if only there could be a ground swell to do that. A boycott could have possibly brought about the changes he needed.

It was strange series of events which still leaves many mysteries.
