Natalee Holloway’s disappearance heading for
the cold case files?
Monday, August 1, 2005
GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands: It is a case that has
drawn an international audience as people, in varying
languages, ask one question:
Where really, is Natalee Holloway?
One of the journalists who covered the case in its
early stages, was our own senior correspondent,
Norman ‘Gus’ Thomas, who is firm in the view that
the Holloway matter is on its way to what he calls
the 'cold case files'.
It is a case that brought together some of what are
said to be the best investigators on earth with their
sniffer dogs, ground-penetrating radar, sonar rigs,
etc. Yet all this, up to this point in time, has failed as the
case now goes into another month.
Now, with a whopping US$1 million reward dangling
before them, the latest in this ongoing saga is that
authorities on Aruba are currently looking at a landfill
where one witness claims he saw a body being
dumped or buried there.
Prior to this, hopes rose high when the draining of a
lake took place in an ongoing search for evidence.
Alas, nothing.
Thomas argues that from day one something seemed
wrong, going on to add that there were several twists
in the tale which became more entangled as time went by.
Thomas summarized his view by highlighting
some of the events in Aruba while posing some very
searching questions.
"Do not forget that there was a report coming from
the assistant Commissioner of Police stating that there
was a confession, added to that it was also stated
that one of the three suspects was actually leading
the police to the site.
Shortly after that statement became public, a press
conference was held in which one senior government
official made no reference to the Assistant
Commissioner's statement, choosing rather, to say
that the authorities were at a critical juncture in the
investigations.
“I spoke with the police but all I was told is that no
confession was made. It begs the question
therefore, if the statement was incorrect, did the
high ranking police officer lie?
If so, why wasn't a public apology made?
“The main suspect, the son of a would be judge, gave
different stories at different times. All of these, to
my mind, create doubt and suspicion. As a result of
this, confusion now reigns in this case, which is
indeed sad and sickening.
“The island of Aruba and, by extension, the Caribbean
has suffered, all because one or several persons
have refused to speak the truth, while others
prefer to play politics with the possible death of a
brilliant and beautiful human being.
This is indeed a tragedy.
“One that has soured relations between Aruba’ as
well as the entire Caribbean region and the
United States of America," said a very
passionate Thomas.
