ORANJESTAD – Now that Gerold Dompig is no longer at the head of the investigative team, Natalee Holloway’s mother thinks it’s good to accused High Commissioner Ronny Bernadina of being the person who is maneuvering and orchestrating the whole investigation with his latest changes in the case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. This has put many people to think that now one has to search in the other side, in the direction of the parents of Natalee Holloway, and not in Aruba where there are 3 youngsters who are still suspects

RETIREMENT

This can be deduced from the moment that the news came out that Gerold Dompig was handed his retirement as chief of the investigation on Natalee Holloway. The reaction the mother had was incredible in the U.S. It could be noted on various TV channels that the mother of Natalee Holloway appeared in the course of the week. Instead of being happy that Dompig was removed, since she was angry with his style of work, now she looked for another guilty one, who is Bernadina.

BERNADINA

She, among others, indicated that Bernadina didn’t even have the decency to speak with her, but knows well enough to orchestrate this investigation in such an unprofessional manner that she was stunned. This is another indication that the mother has to continue to look for a guilty party, whoever it may be.

INVESTIGATION

If traced back to the beginning, with the person who started the investigation, Jan v.d. Straten, was the one who was ‘boze dader macamba’ who had a complot with another ‘macamba’ [Dutch born Aruban], Karin Janssen and together they were manipulating and undoing things that were not good. When v.d. Straten retired, she spoke of a positive change. But in an instant, this changed and she continue to turn against local police.

SCREEN

When Gerold Dompig came into the screen, he was the perfect bull’s eye for Beth Twitty. She was in constant contact with Dompig, as was the case with v.d. Straten, but this again was not enough. The mother continued with her attacks in and a very short time, Dompig became the target of criticism.

PATTERN

The pattern that now exists is that the reaction of the mother in these past weeks has made many people think what others thought from the beginning. This is that the mother and the father themselves have something to do with the case, and as a sort of coverup, they are looking for all sorts of way to find an ‘easy’ public target to attack, and remove the attention from themselves.

TWITTY

When Beth Twitty is heard declaring that almost nothing has been done, to the questions of the American journalists of whether she believes enough has been done, this makes many agents and people in Aruba boil. It shows that if it were another investigation, it would have been closed a long time ago. However in this case, almost a year later, the investigation is still open. This should say something.

METHOD

For all the exceptional methods that were used, such as using F-16 jets, giving the whole island free time to look for Holloway (while there have been other missing people and nothing like this was done in their case), it is difficult to believe that the mother dares to mention that not enough has been done to be able to find her daughter.

QUESTIONABLE

Another questionable issue is the fact that this week, the biological father, Dave Holloway, published his book on the disappearance of his daughter. Not even a year has passed that the book is on the market. A book that will surely generate renewed interest and at the same time is a financial contribution to the father. A book, seeing the media interest, will become a ‘best seller’ surely. And with bestseller status, it will be a million dollar sum for the writer, who in this case is Dave Holloway. And never has there been a mention that this sum will be used for ‘Natalee causes’. Something that has never been mentioned.

TACTIC

Finally, time will tell if the families of Natalee Holloway themselves are guilty of this case. All this is the fault of everyone who gave long hours in the service of the search of this American lady. Call the tactics of v.d. Straten, Dompig, Jacobs and others bad, but they worked searched and tried to do something for the family of a lost child and as such, they have to be given the benefit of the doubt. Their tactics and expertise will be clear later.
