ORANJESTAD(AAN): Tuesday morning DIARIO conversed with commissioner Gerold Dompig, who is at the head of the investigation of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, and asked about the latest developments in the case, given for example that Texas Equusearch is back in Aruba one more time.

According to Dompig, they have jump started the investigation, while the investigation never really stopped in this case.

Dompig continued to say that now that he has united the investigative team, they started to read the material that they have one more time, re-analyze everything and look at the material with a fresh mind.

On this basis, according to Dompig, they will look for different angles in the investigation, which can be seen in a way like a puzzle, that they are completing little by little with the pieces.

Dompig feels that a solution to this case is possible, despite that the criticism of people who say that they regret the fact that the suspects have been set free.
He said that this is not a problem, because this does not hamper the investigation.

Dompig explains that on the basis of an appeal that he made recently on television, they have come across different important calls, which shows that there are people who have seen certain things, which they are investigating and it’s going in a good direction.

According to the commissioner, they were focusing the investigation very much on Aruba only, while now along with the team, Dompig is focusing on America as well.

The commissioner explains that one cannot forget that this was a group which drank together and had a good time, but it is not possible that nobody knows anything.

Dompig explains that the classmates’ declarations which they got from the FBI do not give sufficient information.

On this basis, he called on the group of students from Alabama, for them to call the number of the Noord police station to give information they have.

According to Dompig, many parents told the kids to stay quiet and to not speak to the press.

Now after 4 months, the commissioner asks for them to break their silence, because it can't be that we’re putting the [whole] focus of the investigation on Aruba, while there was a group who was walking every day with Natalee who have not come forward with more important information. This also goes for the chaperones and Natalee’s mother.
