NEW SEARCH A SHOW AND PONY GAME? WE'LL SEE...




I've never been the one who has been optimistic every time a new witness or suspect came through, or "new information" found, new discoveries, that big "bombshell" that was supposed to happen over a year ago... All these things make me cautious about what is going on right now with the Dutch search and their findings, and let me tell you, I am not holding my breath.


If the case is closed, so be it...ARUBA WILL STILL BE BOYCOTTED.


(Source)--Dave Holloway, whose daughter, Natalee, disappeared in Aruba nearly two years ago, said a new search of a suspect's home conducted Friday and Saturday was needed because a prior search was inadequate. "Obviously, we're encouraged the Dutch are doing some investigating," Holloway said.


A month away from the two-year anniversary of Natalee Holloway's disappearance on May 30, 2005 - which may be a target deadline for filing charges - Dutch authorities searched property associated with Joran van der Sloot, the last person known to have seen the then 18-year-old Holloway alive. She vanished on the last day of a graduation trip with her Mountain Brook High School classmates.



It marked the first time the house and the yard on the property where Van der Sloot lived had been searched, Dave Holloway said. The previous search by Aruban police was inadequate, he said. "They limited the search to the part of the property where Joran was located," Holloway said. "All that was searched the first time was the apartment."



Since Dutch police took over the investigation from Aruban police last fall, Holloway had heard little news until Thursday afternoon when the FBI notified him of the Dutch-led search. "Something must have come up for them to decide to do this," Holloway said. "Either that, or they're clearing it. If it's not thoroughly searched, it's going to remain a black cloud that the property was never searched."


...An article in a Dutch newspaper recently reported that the two-year deadline may be extended, Holloway said. He contacted an attorney in Aruba who is trying to verify that. The search of the Van der Sloot yard indicates the focus is on possible disposal of a body, he said. "It's a matter of building a case and proving it, finding out what happened," Holloway said. "We still don't know."


Efforts to reach Natalee's mother, Beth Twitty, on Saturday were unsuccessful. Holloway, who was at the Talladega Superspeedway on Saturday for a NASCAR race, said the new development in his daughter's case has opened up old anxieties about the progress of investigators. "The stress level goes back up again," he said. "You wanna know what they're doing, where they are. There's a nervousness, the anticipation of what's gonna happen. You're glad somebody's involved. We've resolved (to not finding her alive); we've been told from the beginning it was a homicide."


...Gerold Dompig, former lead investigator for the Aruban police, declined comment when reached by telephone in Aruba. Holloway said with the Dutch taking over, he has gained confidence in the level of police expertise. "You have a high level of investigative experience, versus what we saw with the Aruban police," Holloway said. "A year and a half later, what can they do with it? Is it too late? We'll see. "We heard early on from the Arubans the theory that they may have disposed of Natalee in the ocean, but maybe not. We'll just have to wait and see. There's a lot of speculation, but we just don't know."

The case will definitely be closed by the Dutch on May 30 as predicted by Joran. It's up to the American voters to vote out our government corrupt leaders and the Dutch.

When Jossy told us the KLPD continue to search the lighthouse and sand dunes area, we know it is indeed a show and pony game. Dompig had done that before with an outburst of Natalee OD accusation to please his boss Oduber. American people are not that stupid, we are getting very tired of the Dutch and not welcome them any more into our country.

People said WTF them taking that big blue plastic box for, they should have dug up the whole concrete around that stinging pool and emptied that garden well by now.

What's in it, you know?

The blue box might have Holloway's remains in it. We hope the KLPD can announce the ID soon tonight. They have 10 NFI forensics experts in the search team with all their sophisticated equipments. Please don't tell us Americans they have to fly back to Holland for another month for the research. We Americans demand the answers now!

He got all his diaries and computer back, reported the Fox Sunday Big Story News. But not the big blue plastic box, what's in it it's anybody's guess. PVDS may be wetting now, we hope. The two years of time limit is fast approaching to remove the the J2K from the murder suspects list. The whole world is watching now. To see if the Dutch law enforcement is healthy enough to overcome its internal corruptions. This Arubagate scandal if not handled properly with honestly, will tarnished the reputations of the Netherlands for next 20 years. There are rumors from the highest royal family circle as what to do with the queeen. A new King might arise to chasten Aruba once and all.

I am sorry, but if the case is closed it will be down to the Aruban government as the Aruban DA's office still leads the investigation and they are the only ones who have the power to close investigations.

But as they have already publicly stated that they would not release Joran as a suspect when the 2 year normal limit comes up, it would be highly unlikely to close the investigation while still keeping Joran a suspect. The two cannot happen together.

After all, will the KLPD say they hide the body so well, we can't find anything, and case closed? I bet they dare.

There is no 2 year time limit!

That is a fable, there is a 2 year statute of limitations but that is for petty crime only/misdemeanors etc.

The 2 year suspect status is a "customary thing" not a rule of law thing. There are cases known in the Netherlands were police investigations into certain individuals (who have been suspects since day 1) have lasted as long a 5 years.
