What I don't get is how can PVDS claim anything. It's not like there was a trial and he was cleared. It's not like Natalee's body was found or she was found alive. It's not like he was 'out of town' when this happened, so he has no relevance to this case. And his property was not searched and she is missing. The (in your face) Dutchman is just as rebellious as his son.

IMO, he gets to call the shots because he has blackmail info (obtained while working in the justice dept. for 15 years on a very corrupt and vice ridden island) that would be damaging to very important people in the Aruban government, and others as well.
