Blogger's note: Someone from Aruba was nice enough to write in and translate cakiña. It litterally means 'taffee' - figuratively, it means that something is 'stretched out'. Thank you!
Natalee’s case is truly becoming like a cakiña
Also worse than a soap opera!
DIARIO Aruba

ORANJESTAD (AAN): Different reactions have come in with the claim of how the young Geoffrey van Cromvoirt was able to sleep with his pillow and blanket at the police station, while other Arubans...when they are locked up...have to sleep on a cement bed.
Meanwhile, the American press now continues to camp out in the direct area of Geoffrey’s home. Every one is trying to obtain an image of the family. However, from the US, producers of big programs such as the Today Show, as well as Good Morning America are looking for them in every corner to try to obtain an exclusive interview.
Tuesday, the American press focused on Commissioner Dompig’s reaction, who issued a release to try to soften up the statements made by his son. The American press had a field day with this!
KALPOE ATTORNEY SEES THAT THINGS ARE CAKIÑA
In an interview with DIARIO, attorney mr. David Kock, who represents the Kalpoe brothers, described all the new events around the investigation of Natalee’s disappearance like a cakiña.
He explained that it’s going to be 11 months that the case is ongoing, and there is no end in sight. He feels that the Public Prosecution has started to enjoy to detain people left and right, who ‘perhaps’ know something.
In the opinion of attorney Kock, what the Aruban investigative team is doing seems to be more like acts of desperation than anything else. Today it is exactly two weeks since the Public Prosecution let the program Opsporing Verzocht be transmitted to find tips, and nothing [has come of it].
Even the fact that they ran to get help from Opsporing Verzocht of AVRO-TV has gotten the attention of attorney Kock. Because, the Justice [Department] only makes use of this TV program when the Justice [Department] itself cannot solve a case and needs help to perhaps find something to solve the case. For the first time in the history of the Aruba criminal system, a TV program has been used…and only ‘this’ they have found?
Attorney Kock explained that the Kalpoe brothers have taken a different stance compared to other people involved in this case (DIARIO Ed – ‘Joran’). You don’t see the Kalpoe brothers everywhere saying something or giving interviews. They are not much in the spotlight, because everyone can see who the ‘real players’ are in this case.
The Kalpoe’s representatives indicated that they are not seeking contact with the American family, as they don’t find this is necessary.
The moment will come one day when the Public Prosecution has to arrive at the end of the investigation. If by any chance this is excessively delayed, perhaps the Kalpoe’s attorney could also go and request for a judge to put and end to this matter. They cannot stay one long year with the same thing [hanging] over their heads!
In the lawyer’s opinion, now in April of 2006…the Aruban investigators are at the same place where they were at the end of June 2005. Nothing new has come, no declarations that have changed, really since the end of June…so they are still in the same position. ‘Nothing plus nothing, and still nothing’, mr. Kock indicated to DIARIO.
DOMPIG SAID HIS SON LIED
The former leader of the investigative team issued a release to say that his son unjustly accused Geoffrey. According to Gerold Dompig, the accusations of his son Michael against Geoffrey van Cromvoirt, were part of a dispute amongst acquaintances that escalated out of control.
‘He is a kid and he got confused and became frustrated and he said things that he shouldn’t have said’, Dompig stated to the Birmingham News . 'Things went too far’.
Dompig said that his son, who got angry due to accusations in the press, responded with certain conversations that he ‘heard of van Cromvoirt’.
One started to talk about the other, and the other talked back and it turned worse than a soap opera, according to what Dompig said. Dompig indicated to the newspaper that he apologized to the van Cromvoirt family, and asked to be transferred at the beginning of this case, because the case has seriously affected his family.

Geoffrey set free Monday
Another youngster interrogated 6 hours
DIARIO Aruba
4/25/2006
ORANJESTAD (AAN): Monday, the prosecutor decided to set the suspect Geoffrey van Cromvoirt free, and the American press was swarming the Beach police station like ants.
Surprisingly, the youngster with deken [blanket?] and pillow. Something that perhaps made many people think: has this youngster really found preferential treatment? Any detainee at the police station knows that they have to sleep on a cement bed. They do not have any deken [blanket?] and no pillow.
DIARIO took note that the American journalists themselves started to question this. A few lawyers explained to DIARIO, that normally, one cannot bring any sort of pillow for a detainee.
Until a detainee is transferred to the KIA prison, then they can obtain a pillow and deken [blanket?] to sleep with.
In the following press release, the Public Prosecutor gave an update in the case of the disappearance of N. Holloway.
According to the Public Prosecutor, the prosecutor in charge of the case set Geoffrey free Monday morning. The reason for this is the basis for the inverzekeringstelling, the phase of the detention that G.v.C. was in, is no longer there. He remains a suspect.
Last Saturday, the 22nd of April 2006, police detained a male by the initials of A.B. of 20 years of age, related to the disappearance of N. Holloway. After 6 hours of interrogation, the young A.B. was set free.
When the prosecutor and the team have more information they can give, they will do so.
In the meantime, attorney Joe Tacopina revealed to the American press that the van der Sloot family is thinking of bringing a civil case against those who are speaking negatively and saying ugly things about Joran. On MSNBC, attorney Tacopina admitted that they are thinking of suing Beth Twitty, the mother of the missing student.

Movement at Noord police station
DIARIO Aruba
4/24/2006
ORANJESTAD.(AAN): Satruday, outside the Noord station a quantity of reporters could be observed camped out to obtain pictures if perhaps those in charge of the Natalee investigation could come out or arrive with suspects.
They were filming, taking closeup pictures with a telelens, throwing questions at the inspectors when they arrived or came out of the place.
Anything they could have said is on video tape and so they could continue to mention.
There were also local photographers and a few photos were captured. But in all this, there were no additional reports or any indication that those that inspectors took out or brought into the station could have something to do with Natalee’s case.
The only thing that could be concluded is that there are people that arrived, it could hardly mean that they could be considered suspects.
Either it was a dangerous person or the person had to do with any other case outside that of Natalee’s which has come up again.
In the course of today, surely there will be an official report on the part of the Public Prosecutor about all the movement there was on Saturday afternoon at the Noord station.

Commissioner Dompig’s son:
If Natalee was killed, this would already be known
Aruba is small and everyone knows each other and everyone looks at each other
DIARIO Aruba
4/24/2006
ORANJESTAD(AAN)--- The detainee, Geoffrey, was talking of having information and also of having information about Natalee’s disappearance.
The young Domping also stated on FOX that Geoffrey seemed to have a drug problem and that he was removed from the security company due to behavioral problems.
According to the show, the lady who conducted the interview said that Joran’s mom let it be known that there is much speculation surrounding this case.
But in another interview with Michael Dompig, he said to have heard that Geoffrey lied saying that he has not seen Michael for many months and that he that he doesn’t like going out with Michael, which is very false.
According to Michael, he bumps into Geoffrey all the time, he follows him asking him where he’s going and to go out, etc.
“If he lied about small details, he will lie about anything”, he said.
About the case itself, he said that if there was enough evidence which could reveal that they were involved, they would still be in prison. Police in Aruba have done a very good job, and they would have these youngsters detained of there was enough evidence, he said in response to a question in regards to Natalee’s case.
Asked about Aruba’s youth are saying about the disappearance, he explained that many are commenting that Natalee ran away from home so that her parents won’t find her, and also there are some who believe that she died, possibly by overdose of drugs and alcohol.
“If you stay here and go to Carlos n Charlie’s, you would observe that all the young girls of 15 and 16 years of age from the US go there and abuse alcohol. They use any drugs that they find. They become lazy and finding little freedom, finally they abuse of this”, he commented.
Michael also said that Aruba is small and if someone killed Natalee, this would come to light. Everyone knows everyone and everyone sees everyone.
For now, they would know already who did what. It has come to the point that the island has to defend itself because everyone wants to boycott Aruba.
Tomorrow there will be a decision if Geoffrey will regain his freedom and also there is an indication that more people could be detained related to this case.
