Your post is reasonable, but how would the ordinary Aruban act if Joran had been seen with their daughter, and then she disappeared? The reaction of the two security guards' families was very telling. The girl friend of one was hysterical, screaming, all but tearing her hair and renting her clothes. You could hardly decipher one word in ten, but her meaning was clear. She felt he'd been picked on because he was poor and black, (the old colonial pecking order alive and well). I would think any Aruban parent would be aggressive and demanding to know where his daughter was and why the cops weren't making progress.
