Beth had faith in some of the Arubans on the case, but they have dashed her hopes. Dave Holloway most likely has lost all trust in their sincere efforts to come up with real answers.
The "powers that be" in Aruba claim they have done and are doing everything they can to solve the case. Did they, from the gitgo? No. Are they now dedicated to finding out what happened? I don't think so!
They would not allow the FBI to investigate. Should we understand that they don't want a foreign investigative team to override their domain? Certainly, the U.S would not allow Holland to usurp our justice system.
Yet what sticks in the craw here is that Aruba has forfeited their right to claim they have, by anyone's account, properly sought to solve this case.
Unless somebody down there who has clout begins to get honest (and I'm not looking at Paulos!), an American boycott of the island is the only thing I can think of to squeeze them so tightly that somebody will talk. And the blame for that boycott can be attributed to Paulos van der Slooten, the three last known to be with Natalee, van der Straaten, Karen Jannsen, and a few others, if not more. I think they have brought it on themselves and the innocent people of Aruba.

This week, Paulus will likely be legally released form suspicion. This after both the prosecutor and the Chief of Police have stated he is a suspect in the disappearence and aftermath in this case.
We can expect to see more smiling Paulus with a staged press conference and smiling locals.
When will the people of Aruba shun the van der sloot freak show?

Yep, you are absolutely right!
I have to agree. Aruba can place the blame for their coming monetary woes directly at the feet of the Van der Sloots, Kalopoes, Van der Straaten, Janssen, Dumpig, Jacobsen and the rest of those involved in this case. IF Aruba is willing to get ruined over this family and these criminal Law Enforcement personnel, SO BE IT!!
