How do you know if they have "botched the investigation"? Have they released any details about their investigation?
If you have the right connections and belong to the right family in Aruba, does that mean you get to continually lie to the authorities without any consequences?
Which of the suspects in this case have "the right connections" or belong to a family of elite status in Aruba?
How do you know if they have "botched the investigation"?
The two security guards who were first arrested were formally charged, based on the lies of the three who were the last ones with Natalee and are suspects in her disappearance. And none of these guys have been formerly charged, regardless of the fact they've continued to change their stories. The Aruban authorities have not utilized the FBI like they should.
Have they released any details about their investigation?
No, and that's a big problem. What we do know doesn't shed a good light on their competence. It has been reported that the suspects, are from privileged families.
