ORANJESTAD(AAN): Currently, once again the case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway is getting a lot of attention, but in the Dutch part of St. Maarten there’s also a case of an American woman who has disappeared.

It has to do with Leta Cordes, 49 years of age, who was visiting the island from Mission Viejo, California. Her husband said that he saw his wife for the last time on January 12, when they were going to go out of keiro [?]

That night, the couple went to eat out and afterwards, Leta said to her husband that she was going to the casino for a little while. The woman went with 200 dollars in her bag, walking out of the vacation house close to Dawn Beach, in the direction of the casino that just opened at the Westin Resort.

Police did not see the woman on surveillance video at the entrance of the casino, and since that day the St. Maarten police department is conducting a big search operation along with the family and friends of the missing person.

The American woman knows the island pretty well, given that her and her husband have been visiting the island for a few years. After almost a month, the disappearance of Leta Cordes now little by little is getting attention in America.
