A POX ON THE ARUBA BOOBS
By STEVE DUNLEAVY
May 30, 2006 -- THE memories for Beth Holloway Twitty
came flooding back.
Memories of a beautiful young daughter, Natalee, whose
passionate love of life vanished on the island of Aruba
exactly one year ago today.
But also nightmare memories - of a frustrating, bumbling
investigation on the island and ugly threats against her life.
"One of the several threats I received was that if I stayed
on the island, I would be chopped up in little pieces, put
in a fish trap and floated out to sea," she said.
John Q. Kelly, her Manhattan-based lawyer, who on the
stand chopped O.J. Simpson into little pieces in a civil
suit, told me:
"Obviously, we don't know exactly where those threats
came from, and the police there don't seem to care.
But there is a huge back-street drug market on the
island and, frankly, a lot of people don't want
Americans poking around there.
"The investigation has been a terrible example of a
mixture of utter incompetence and corruption."
Dave Holloway, Natalee's father and Beth's
ex-husband, told me, "Three weeks after Natalee's
disappearance, the assistant prosecutor, Amalin
Flanegin, quit the case.
"She indicated to me she pointed police in the obvious
direction . . . and they ignored her."
I caught up with Beth Holloway on the phone as she
was boarding a flight to Montreal to expand an
organization she started, Safe Travels Foundation.
"It is to inform people before going to foreign places
how to proceed locally if faced with a crisis," she said.
"I'm extremely unwelcome in Aruba, so we could not
even have a memorial service for Natalee one year
after her disappearance. I'll never set foot on that
island again."
"Nor will I," echoed Dave.
As for me - I once spent a vacation there, but I
wouldn't go back if they paid me.
I read this and loved it...thought I would share it
