DENNIS JACOBS--INSTRUMENTAL IN COVER UP

These excerpts are taken from an investigator currently working on the investigation:

Dennis Jacobs is a career narcotics agent for the Aruban Police. He has never worked a missing person or a murder case. He was instrumental in orchestrating the arrest of the two black security guards. He did that after knowing full well that the boys had lied about dropping Natalee off.

There is a beach bum named Booty who hangs out at the Moomba Bar next to the Holiday Inn. Booty insists that he saw the two security guards going in and out of Natalee's room the night she disappeared. The investigator interviewed Booty at least 5 different times and his story doesn't add up. The investigator believes that he was coached into identifying the two security guards.

Booty sells drugs on the beach. Remember, Dennis Jacobs is a narcotics agent!

Dennis Jacobs interviewed the suspects on May 31, 2005 and he admitted that their were inconsistencies in their statements, however, he didn't think it was necessary to re-interview them for days after they lied about dropping Natalee off at the Holiday Inn. As a matter of fact if Beth hadn't told him that she reviewed the video camera film at the Holiday Inn and Natalee was not on it being dropped off by the suspects as they insisted he may not have re-interviewed them at all.

In August a belt was found in the dunes and was turned over to the Aruban Police to be entered into evidence. The belt appeared to be the same belt that Joran used as prop in his web site that spring. He was choking a young boy while holding the belt. The investigator believes that the belt found in the dunes was strikingly similar or even the exact same belt. The next day cadaver dogs led an organized search of the sand dunes area. At one point one of the dogs began digging in the sand near where the belt was found. The dog dug so vigorously that within minutes all you could see was his tail. The area was excavated and searchers came up with a few tiny pieces of clear plastic.

The cadaver dog leader wanted to record and enter those pieces of plastic into evidence but Dennis Jacobs threw them into the wind saying "they were of no value."

Weeks later our source asked Chief Dompig about the belt being sent to Holland for forensic examination. He replied that "the investigative team had decided that the belt was too old and it was not sent for forensic examination."

In October Dennis Jacobs took a statement from Dave Holloway regarding a meeting that Dave had with Paulus Van der sloot back in August. Jacobs questioning of Dave Holloway lasted for three hours and when Dave finally saw an english translated version of the interview which was prepared by Jacobs it was reduced to one page. Three hours of questioning reduced to one page and it failed to even relate to the subject that they covered. Instead, it made reference to Beth and Jug Twitty and the Natalee Holloway fund. The statement was witnessed by another Police Officer who was not even present during the testimony. Which brings the investigator to the fact that Dennis Jacobs was responsible for taking the statements from the suspects in this case. The investigator has personally seen two of these statements and they appear to be incomplete and manipulated in Joran's favor.

As an experienced investigator, he believes these statements were poorly written and vague. Almost as if the Police Officer taking the statement did not want to get to the truth. These statements are witnessed by up to four police officers.

In October Dave Holloway and the investigator observed Jan Van der straaten, the former Chief of Police leaving Jacobs office. A young dispatcher informed the investigator and Dave Holloway that he (Van der Stratten) was a frequent visitor to the office. The investigator is VERY suspicious that Van der straaten is still pulling the strings of this investigation and he has his hand picked investigator, Jacobs, who has sabotaged the case at every turn.
