Dennis Jacobs

Lead Investigator? Or Key Obstructionist?


In the case of missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, the thought shared by her family and many others researching this case is that there was a collusion of the authorities on the island of Aruba to cover up this crime.

This thought was recently affirmed with the publishing of Beth Holloway’s book, in which she quoted the President of the Aruban Hotel and Tourism Association responding to a statement about a cover up having taken place: Jorge Pesquera says to Beth stating there was a cover-up.

"Yes...yes there was." (p. 194 Beth Holloway book Loving Natalee).

Over the past two and a half years, many have wondered how such a cover up could be so successful, and who were the key players in such collusion?

Dave Holloway tells us in his book about the manipulations that were done to his police statement regarding his hour-long meeting with Paulus van der Sloot.

I commented to Jacobs about how short my statement was. He said that I could add anything I wanted to it. Also, I noticed that Eric Soemers's name was on it, but that detective was not even present during the interview. Now I wondered if Jacobs was making up everyone's statement and getting Eric to sign on to them. If that were the case, he could state anything he wanted, and it would look like an official statement made in front of a witness.

Beth Holloway tells us about her first statement given to Dennis Jacobs about her missing daughter, and the things she saw and heard the night she arrived on the island and met with the van der Sloots. She shares with us how Dennis Jacobs changed her statement to remove anything that could be harmful to the van der Sloots.

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Correct. I was not needed on the 31st to give my statement. I went in June 1 approximately 10:00 AM and gave my statement. It was printed in Dutch. It was translated for me in English, and I signed it. The same day on June 1 at 10:00 PM, the same detective brought me two statements, one that I had signed...

GRACE: At 10:00 PM, an investigator finds you where?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: In a restaurant.

GRACE: They come up to you in a restaurant and say?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: I need you to sign this new statement. There was a change that had to have been made. Jug spoke with them. You know, Nancy, I was not able to make any type of decisions on what I was signing. I mean, something was presented before me. I`m looking for my daughter in a foreign country. What was I going to do?

GRACE: Was it in Dutch?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: I had to go on good faith. Oh, yes. Absolutely.

GRACE: So after signing your statement once that afternoon, they seek you out at a restaurant...

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Yes.

GRACE: ... and ask you to re-sign a statement written totally in Dutch?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: Yes.

GRACE: And Jug quizzed them, saying?

GRACE: What are the changes? The changes were only supposed to have been a date.

GRACE: And?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: We found out about three weeks later that that statement that I signed on June 10 is not my statement. We were given that statement by an Aruban attorney sometime during the month of July and finally had it translated, and it is not my original statement.

GRACE: What was left out, Beth?

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY: There were a lot of names that were left out, you know, just key elements as far as how Joran asked Jug and -- to leave the group before he admitted the sexual assaults that he committed against Natalee and -- and just a lot of things. You know, Paulus`s name -- I didn`t know anyone`s name. I didn`t know Charles Croes`s name, which is just ludicrous.

The steps Dennis Jacobs took to whittle down the content of Dave’s meeting with Paulus, and his addition of the not present Detective Soemer’s name to Dave’s statement, and the unbelievably bold steps he took to completely change Beth’s statement made us wonder.

What other statements did Dennis Jacobs manipulate?

What key elements could have been given by these various witnesses and suspects, that Dennis Jacobs may have tampered with?

*What answers could this victim’s family have received had someone other than Dennis Jacobs handled these key suspects and witnesses?

*What truths were hidden by Dennis Jacobs that could have helped this grieving family, and brought justice for the crimes against their beloved Natalee?

Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!
