A MAN OF HIS WORD - OR PART OF THE ARUBAN COVER UP?
When questioned about a cover up taking place, Jorge Pesquera, then President of Aruba's AHATA replied,
"Yes...yes there was." (p. 194 Beth Holloway book Loving Natalee)
Now that the criminal case against the 3 main suspects in Natalee Holloway's disappearance has been closed by Aruban officials, perhaps it is time for Prime Minister Nelson Oduber to make good on his intentions.
On November 9 of 2005, Nelson Oduber stated that he would like an "investigation into the investigation" conducted. He reiterated this intent in late January of 2006.
We agree it is high time for such an investigation.
With the numerous questionable and downright unethical activities of law enforcement, judiciary members, and government officials - Miss Holloway's fellow U.S. citizens request the documented facts that show who played key roles in "making mistakes" in this investigation.
From the detectives involved, to the initial prosecutor handling differing suspects and witnesses in different manners, to the judges ruling inconsistently and in a biased manner - we agree with Aruba's Prime Minister, in that there is definite cause for an in-depth look into these actions.

“The investigation doesn't strike me as an example of professionalism. The investigation from the onset was somewhat bungled.”

ORANJESTAD(AAN): Dutch criminal law experts recently expressed big criticism about the Aruban police investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway They call the investigation methods strange and unprofessional.
“It is incomprehensible that police, after an important tip about the location of Natalee Holloway’s body, to not go search immediately.” ~ criminal law scholar of the University of Amsterdam, Menno Dolman
“This is very strange. Normally the area is closed off immediately, to dig and search for clues, but not in Aruba.” ~ legal psychologist, Peter van Koppen
“Total madness. “This is a total error.” ~ criminal law expert of the University of Leiden, Hans Nijboer
“The media is the last option for investigators, you do not give out information that only the guilty could know.” ~ criminal law scholar of the University of Amsterdam, Menno Dolman

Oduber wants the discrepancies in the Holloway-case be investigated ARUBA -- After the Holloway-case is closed, Prime Minister Nelson Oduber (MEP) wants a thorough investigation be conducted on the course of everything that had to do with the investigation on the disappeared American teenager, especially the begin phase. He thinks that mistakes were made especially in this phase.
*Will Prime Minister stand true to his own words?
*Will he finally authorize an unbiased agency to conduct an investigation into the persons and activities associated with this case?
*Will Aruba open their dossier to a competent investigative team for all the world to see what “mistakes” were made and by whom?
Prime Minister Nelson Oduber has made numerous differing statements about his true feelings about Natalee Holloway, her family, and his country’s investigation into her disappearance.
*Will the world finally be able to see if Aruba's Prime Minister is a man of his word?
*Does he finally realize that coming clean with the truth about this investigation will be the first step in repairing Aruba’s damaged tourism numbers?
"We've been working 50 years, day and night, to build up tourism," Oduber said last week. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,160064,00.html
Natalee and her family deserve justice, and we will not let up until they have it!
