ARUBA – A delegation of four Dutch police officers and two special trained tracker dogs together with field Public Prosecutor Karin Janssen arrived in Aruba yesterday afternoon. A second delegation is expected to arrive later. The dogs will be used to search a certain area in the sand hills. The suspicion is that Natalee Holloway is (re)buried in that area. Chief of Police Gerold Dompig prepared the investigation in the Netherlands a few weeks ago.

In an interview with CBS that was transmitted last Saturday, Dompig said that he thinks that the three main suspects, Joran van der Sloot, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, are no murderers. He suspects that the three boys were involved in hiding the body of Holloway, who had possibly died from an overdose of alcohol and drugs. He thinks that there was a second group of people involved with the hiding of the girl’s body. This second group must have helped with the reburying of the body in a better location. He also said in the interview that he suspects father Paul van der Sloot of knowing more about the disappearance of the girl than he had said up till now.
