Dutch Arrive in Aruba

It is always interesting to watch as things become twisted across the internet to serve personal interests. There is nothing secretive about the source of the following information and it has been said several times that their purpose may have a dual intent.

"They came for both reasons! True, the Awe Mainta editor came with the news and we picked it up. We publish his paper (Awe Mainta) for him at the DIARIO presses."

*****************************

Ten Dutch experts will arrive in Aruba today (April 12,2007) to put the finishing touches on the Natalee Holloway case, before the Ministry of Justice of Aruba considers the case closed, or cold!
It is assumed that this will be the last effort to try to find out what happened to Natalee Holloway before declaring the case cold.

“In Aruba, when a case is considered "cold", it doesn't mean that it is permanently closed, but that it can be reopened if and when new evidence appears or is found. The Dutch team of 10 experts that is arriving today has conditioned their work so that they will only work with the police team in charge of combating drugs on the island, because they consider them the more reserved section of the police force.

The Ministry of Justice definitely wants to put an end to the investigation of the case. I think it's wrong, because there are so many declarations by the three main suspects that have to be investigated further, that you cannot close the case until that is properly ant thoroughly done. I fear that this is the last attempt by the Dutch and Aruban authorities to show that they are interested in the case to the degree they will make one last effort, and then close it.

Will keep you posted on their presence and work in Aruba.”

Postscript:

Not to take away from the source of this news, because he does know much more than I as it pertains to the legal workings of Aruba and the Netherlands. But, some assumptions are being made and that leaves the possibility that things might go in a different direction. All we know for certain is that a group of ten (10) Dutch experts are on their way to Aruba to finalize their investigation into the Natalee Holloway case. Maybe, just maybe, they will be able to do more than just haze over this case and declare it cold.

Wishful thinking on my part, but wouldn’t it be extremely nice if the Holloway/Twitty families finally got a break in all of this?

Update: I now have a few more details and an anticipated arrival time for the Dutch experts. There should be a better understanding of their intentions by tomorrow afternoon. Stay tuned!

Update II: Nothing to report about the Dutch team of investigators coming out of Aruba at this time and nothing expected over the weekend. Some believe their purpose in Aruba is a mixed one and involves the recent issues of bribery and corruption on the island. More should be learned in the following days and weeks.

Jossy Mansur has been taking a lot of heat from a politically controlled radio station and newspaper in Aruba. The latest attack upon his character is due to an interview he gave to satellite radio host Dana Pretzer.

“I always stand behind everything I say, on the radio, on tv or in the paper. When I'm wrong, I apologize, but when I am right, like in this case, no apologies are necessary. But, it's a two-way street, because I am giving all of them the hell of a rough time in the DIARIO. They, contrary to me, cannot stand the heat, that's why they counter with a lot of inventions and just plain slander. Mike, I couldn't care less about all their attacks… Don't worry for me: I can handle myself pretty well in these kinds of situations. I've been at it for the past 33 years!”
