The Candle Keeps ...

On Burning....
Almost a year ago when the search for
Natalee Holloway was only a few weeks old.

The following are pieces taken from this article.

"Aruba continues to frustrate Americans and
others across the world who are following this
case, while the Aruban Police continue to plod
along in their investigation, one that has
seen seven arrests and four of these seven
quickly released due to lack of evidence
against them."

"...one must wonder where the local authorities
in Aruba are going with this case. Of course
the suspects haven't been much help either.
Croes, for example, denies knowing any of the
three primary suspects.
He indicated that he made up the story that he
saw them drop Natalee off at her hotel the
night she disappeared (thereby providing the
three suspects with their initial alibi) just to
be a good guy -- ), noting, of course, that Croes
frequented the Internet cafe that employed
one of the Kalpoe brothers and supposedly
happened to overhear Deepak telling this story,
so he retold the story and made himself a
witness (dumb). "

"The police are very tight lipped about their
investigation, and that's ok if they have
something going, i.e., they may well have
information and/or evidence that makes this
case far tighter than any of us can imagine
-- at least I hope so! "

"If between the three principal suspects, with
or without the coaching of another, they all
came to the conclusion that without a victim,
without a body, without a crime scene, and
without linking physical evidence they would
all eventually be released, then they just might
be able to keep their collective mouths shut.
And Joran, well, he's changed his story a
number of times, (why did he need to keep
changing his story if he is truly innocent we
need ask), and as the current primary suspect,
he would appear to have the most to lose by
talking, and the most to gain, unfortunately,
by his continued silence."

"Aruba is under a lot of political, in reality,
financial pressure to resolve this case.
Americans know they can vote with their
wallets and credit cards, and they may vote
to visit some other "happy island" in
the future should this case not be solved..."
