I was actually very disturbed by Helen Lejeuz. In fact I thought her brother was more forceful and he's not working for Beth. Could it be that she has been threatened? I've come to the conclusion that something "Governmental" needs to be done now. Beth has basically been threatened and the threat it reeks of "you better not come here again or you'll be arrested". I would NOT have expected such OPEN CORRUPTION in a country that survives on 80% tourism.

And frankly, I do NOT expect the Dutch Government (Holland) to do anything for the simple reason that they likely don't have clean hands either.

Yes, something governmental does need to be done. We need to go in a remove the Chavezites from places of power in Aruba. I think the Dutch have been taking too many bong hits to realize what is sneaking up behind them.

Am I crazy? It the only thing that makes sense to me. It like a segment of the Aruban population wants the Americans to go away for good; then, in steps Uncle Hugo and GranPapa Fidel.

Paulus fits the part of a good communist/socialist don't you think?

I thought they might arrest her this time. At least I was wrong about that, but I sure wouldn't be planning to return if I were her.

I have a hard time understanding Helen Lejeuz's English (as bad as Tito) and she has never sounded very forceful to me since they hired her. I have given her the benefit of the doubt until now because I knew that Beth didn't hire her because she needed a spokesman since Vinda was much better if that's what was needed. I always suspected she hired Helen because Helen had someone she could get inside info from, probably someone still in the prosecutor's office from when she was there, but that's just my opinion. This recent stuff of Helen trying to justify the crap that Dompig is demanding that Beth do in order to get an "audience" with him was pathetic. There is no justification for the questions he's asking about the trust fund.

All the interviews that Dompig and ALE do in Papiamentu newspapers is to shape the response they want from the natives. It's how it has always worked there. I just can't believe they think that citizens of US will remain in the dark while they talk out of both sides of their mouths, completely ignorant of what they're doing.

This is an ugly situation, but it has been shaping up to hit the fan at some point from Day # 1 since the VDS were already prepared to lie or do whatever was necessary before NH's family every arrived on Aruba. All they have done is dance this down the road to the inevitable blowup, but it is in their best interest to put as much time between her disappearance and her parents' realizing no help is forthcoming since memories fade and whatever evidence there was grows stale.
