Celebrity Justice
Details in Mystery Travolta Extortion Doc

John Travolta & Jett TravoltaWe've now gotten to the bottom of the mystery document that was the basis for the alleged extortion plot in the John Travolta case.

Sources connected with the investigation tell us John Travolta told EMT workers he wanted to fly his son to Florida rather than drive by ambulance to the hospital ... which was 45 minutes away.

There was a disagreement over which course would be better. John felt initially it might take the same amount of time to get his son to Florida where he might get better care.

The document at issue would have released emergency services from any liability if Travolta elected the Florida route.

In the end John realized the hospital was Jett's best hope.

31. Only a parent can identify with the crazy desperation that Jett's parents must have gone through during these minutes. Who knows, maybe a plane to FL would have been faster than a 45 min ambulance ride to an unknown hospital. Maybe it was just too late for Jett either way. I wonder if the comments would be as harsh if they weren' rich and famous.

33. what a bull-poop spin good old scientology has put on this. its total B.S.!!
they had no intention of treating their child at any hospital, better equipped or otherwise. they were hoping to get him under the care of the scientoloquacks employed by the church/cult. seriously, the feds need to "pull a waco" from the head office on down the line and put those freaks away and deprogram all the other helpless captives., they are dangerous.

they let their children and other cult members die without proper care. why doesn't the government step in and do something?! anyone else would have been properly investigated and at least charged with something by now. we let the celebs/rich get away with everything, even murder.

34. SONIA IS RIGHT. GOD BLESS THAT FAMILY AND GOD HELP THOSE OF YOU WHO CRITICIZE. TO LOSE A CHILD WOULD DESTROY ME. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, YOU WANT THE BEST CHANCE FOR YOUR CHILD. TO THE TRAVOLTA'S FLORIDA WAS THE BEST AT THE TIME. PRAY FOR THAT FAMILY BUT ALSO PRAY FOR THE JUDGEMENTAL PEOPLE ON THIS SITE.....

36. Scientology is pure evil. If you are a Christian than there is no way you are allowed to believe that a Cult founded by a deranged ex Navy man can be believed in, tithed to, adhered to, prayed or worshiped to.

Poor Travolta, his mother was among the most devout of Italian American Catholics, he has never been the same since her passing over 2 decades ago. Scientology recognized his soul needing healing and "rescued" him. The conniving thieves.

Why is our FBI or Federal Marshals not dismantling this cult? With Obama President now, it will only grow and expand---he's a weirdo too when it comes to any kind of religion. Rev. Wright is a Witch Doctor, but still one step above Scientology.

The Bahamas is the new Aruba---I dont care what comedian Lewis Black says about Aruba in his new commericals about visiting there, it is a horrific place to have to die in and apparently now too is the Bahamas. Crooked Govt, police, and apparently even crooked Ambulance Drivers.

Natalie Holloway and Jett Travolta are the proof

Shame on them all

37. And on top of all the scientologists posing as "regular people" posting in defense the craziness,
this extortion story is probably a bunch of lies made up to shut up the people who know the truth.

38. #9-That's what happens in rual areas or areas like that-it takes longer to get there. Paper-wielding EMT's? They are legal documents to protect BOTH parties and are REQUIRED at scene in situations as such in most areas.

39. Maybe John was with another guy when all this happened. Maybe that is why no one was around to check up on Jet. And just maybe his so called friend knew about John's little secret and decided to use it to make a little cash on the side.
John's hiding something and its probably right up the back side of the Manny.

40. OK...............does this whole thing make ANY sense? FIRST of all.........IN MOST PLACES...........even those of us WITHOUT MILLIONS of DOLLARS OR MOVIE STAR STATUS can get a HELICOPTER LIFE FLIGHT in the case of a LIFE/DEATH ACCIDENT EMERGENCY. HOW IS IT THAT JOHN TRAVOLTA's SON HAD NO HELICOPTER RIDE BY LIFE-FLIGHT TO THE HOSPITAL???? HE COULD ONLY RIDE BY AMBULANCE OR ELSE IN DAD'S 'JET' BACK TO THE MAINLAND??

TOTALLY MAKES NO SENSE ----In my VIEW, that means his transport was NOT DEEMED BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL On THE SCENE AS URGENT ---(REMEMBER : A "DR. ON THE SCENE INITIALLY SAW HIM " BEFORE PARAMEDICS GOT THERE ACCORDING TO ONE REPORT -- PROBABLY THE RESORT DR?? ) BECAUSE PERHAPS JETT WAS DEAD AT THE SCENE (and perhaps had been for quite a time -- maybe IRRETRIEVABLY SO?) RIGHT THEN ( NOT STILL ALIVE in the ambulance on the way) in which case time was NOT of the ESSENCE & it wouldn't have mattered HOW or WHAT transported him. IF HE WAS GONE, he was gone.

FOR SURE WE WILL NEVER KNOW. REGARDLESS, people with half a brain and for sure ANYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY realizes that the truth is THAT THIS IS probably SPIN to DEFLECT further investigation and any BAD PR FOR THE GROUP.

The term 'red herring' comes to mind. I THINK THIS "REAL" DOCUMENT has been carefully thought out, time stamped and spoonfed to appropriate MEDIA -- ie whoevers digging the hardest (and therefore perceived as the greatest threat) JUST AN OPINION.....

SO VERY SORRY JETT THAT YOU LOST YOUR LIFE IN THIS WAY. SERIOUSLY.

Posted at 12:24AM on Jan 28th 2009 by NO 'LIFE-FLIGHT' HELICOPTERS AVAILABLE?

41. Whatever the case may be. The Travolta family has suffered a terrible, terrible loss. Scientology, Catholicism, Christianity...whatever......this family is grieving and I for one feel for them and empathize for them.

43. Please show the kid in a better pic. I see this one all over the tabloids. Quite frankly it makes me sick. No disrespect to the boy but this creeps me out evertime I see it!!!

44. I just checked out the cult "scientolgy", website and it think Jetts pic is on the ones that pop up at the beginning. Now that I know the celebs are going to Scientology I think I might. Give me an f'n break.

45. I'm a physician and a mother.
I'm not religious and have no clue about scientology.
My daughter suffered an accident in Amsterdam.
I took the first place back to the US right away.

I've been a doctor for many years and I've lived in many countries.
I would have asked to bring the kid to Florida too. No doubt.

I really wish not one person in this forum goes through the horrible experience of seeing your kid hurt while overseas...

Some people are just mean, scientology has nothing to do with it. He's not trying to cover up anything.
Even if you have no money, you would want THE BEST CARE for your child.
Imagine if you have the money to bring your child back to the States, wouldn't you want that?
