ORANJESTAD (AAN): It was Thursday that the van Cromvoirt family reacted and stated openly that their son Geoffrey is not friends with any of the people who were previously detained in the Natalee Holloway investigation.

“The van Cromvoirt family distances itself completely from all expressions or declarations which bring Geoffrey van Cromvoirt in connection with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway and any statement in which any role is attributed to him in this case”, the family said in a statement issued in Dutch by his lawyer mr. Eline Lotter-Homan.

Further, the family demonstrated that Geoffrey wasn’t working for VCB Security at the end of May 2005 when Natalee disappeared.

But the prosecutor demonstrates clearly that his criminal offenses could have something to do with the disappearance of Natalee. However, there is still no report that has been divulged about the reason why this youngster was detained mid-day Saturday.

Aside from this, only yesterday was it known that the Aruba and Antilles Coast Guard are searching the sea around Aruba with sonar equipment. The search was conducted in secrecy. On Thursday however, the Coast Guard did not continue this search.

The bigger question is: did Geoffrey really meet Natalee that weekend in Aruba?
Previously, there were indications that the Mountain Brook High School kids now recognize his picture. But last Wednesday night on CNN, the mother, Beth Twitty indicated that she does not have any indication that this took place.

BETH TWITTY RELATED TO HITLER? Thursday night, Fox News Channel revealed a letter that prosecutor Karen Janssen sent on October 31, 2005 to an official of the US Department of Justice, Ms. Friedman, where in an incredible manner she asked if by any chance Beth Twitty is related to Hitler, and if by any chance the family has gone on a trip to Austria recently.

Also in this letter, prosecutor Janssen in a certain sense indicated that they don’t have any proof against the trio of Joran, Deepak and Satish. Fox News Channel interpreted this as a clear message that the investigation in Aruba is ‘stuck’.

Aside from this, Fox News Channel divulged that the prosecutor from Aruba asked for help from the FBI in order to obtain a certified copy of Natalee’s high school yearbook. Here they want to check if there could be any indication that Natalee had thought of running away from home. Also, they want to know if by any chance Natalee has run away from home in the past, or has come up with a plan to be a ‘runaway’.

Another request was to find the list of telephone calls that Beth Twitty made from her home, and also from her cellular phone.

The letter at certain angles gave the impression that Aruba wants to investigate this case from all corners. However the question in regards to the relation between Beth Twitty and Hitler left everyone at Fox News Channel speechless.

The contents of this letter which was leaked from the US Department of Justice to Fox News Channel, also indicates that there is no indication that the trio of the Dutch and Surinamese youth committed rape on a voluntary basis on Natalee.
