JULIA RENFRO AND HER MOTIVES


Opportunist? Or Journalist?




Julia Renfro has a variety of interests in Aruba besides being the editor-in-chief of Aruba TodayBon Dia.
It seems she is the contact for Windsurfing competition on Aruba. She is connected to Aruba Travel Guide.

Julia has one main competitor on Aruba. That is Diario-Aruba owned by Jossy Mansur. The Mansur family has a colorful background that has been made very public with the help of Ms. Renfro and her media contacts. Ms. Renfro's background on the other hand has been kept secret. News Magazine and the Photo Journalists for it's sister newpaper.




Here are a few things that Ms. Renfro has said about the Natalee Holloway Case:

"Locally there was never even a mention or a breath of concern that this was a racial issue nor a status issue," Renfro said. Does 'locally' mean the Dutch community?

"It was not 200 people protesting. It was 200 people demonstrating what Aruba was about, the friendliness of the island, that Aruba was turning into a welcome mat that was just being absolutely stepped on." So it was NOT a protest but in her next breath she says....

"No question about it. I was there at the protest demonstration. And it was all about, this is who we are. This is our justice system. We believe in our justice system. Let it prevail." OK, Julia which was it? An Unbiased view.

Do you want to guess who the gardener works for? The boss that he told about the suspicious car and the 3 young men hiding in it on the night Natalee disappeared? Can you imagine why this native Aruban was afraid to come forward when his boss said that she would inform her good friend the Chief Police Commissioner.
