ORANJESTAD— After much anticipation, Natalee Holloway’s mother arrived at the police station in Shaba to give answers to various questions to police in charge of the investigation had.

Mrs. Twitty came with a group of American journalists who were at all times walking with her. And although she told the Strategic Commission that she did not know that some media would follow her to Aruba, it was obvious that they had a very close relationship. Her friend was in the car with an MSNBC producer, for example.

The police station was awaiting the arrival of Mrs. Twitty and would not let the press stop their cars too close. They also didn’t let the cameramen arrive first.

Mrs. Twitty entered accompanied by her friend Carol followed by her attorney Helen Lejuez who also came in. But her brother Paul Reynolds, who arrived in a taxi, could not enter. Police did not permit this.

The conversation, which was more like an interrogation, lasted a few hours, contrary to what Mrs. Twitty thought, given that she brought two recorded tapes with her declaration and what from what can be deduced from the time that she remained inside, police decided to make some touchy questions.

At a certain point, the friend left in Helen Lejuez’s car to go check out of the hotel, given that the group had to be at the airport for 12 noon.

The presence of lead prosecutor Karin Jansen was also noted, but she did not remain long at the Shaba police station.

Finally, Mrs. Twitty was able to leave the police station, but as was the case from the first day, she did not give any comments.

Despite that at the moment she also did not speak to the American press, it won’t be strange for them to get a declaration, seeing that they’re traveling with her.

What’s more, after the meeting with the Strategic Commission, when Mrs. Twitty was asked for a comment, she said she didn’t want to say anything. She was also asked if she was going to speak with the American channels that night, and Twitty said she had no plans to do so. But as is usual with Mrs. Twitty, this did not turn out to be the truth, since that same night she was on Greta van Susteren on FOX News saying that the Strategic Commission is in agreement with her about changing those who are working on the case.

This was completely denied by the Strategic Commission.
