I think this can be explained by simple lack of experience in dealing with such high profile investigations. This isn't Los Angeles or New York City -- it's essentially Mayberry surrounded by serenity. They aren't going to be as adept at a murder investigation as we are all accustomed to.
3 weeks + no news = bad assumptions about the Polis, the Gov't and the players involved. Plus the Gov't spokespeople are minor league. One decided with FOX last nite not to talk about the latest murder (as if that's not news) because the Press is 'overly fixated on the Holloway story'. And his role is Polis Information Officer. Gimme a break
I agree, it is troubling, because there is an American citizen down there. But I thought it was rather pompous and self-serving the way the "him-bo" reporter grilled this guy. I've heard (and at this point, I don't know what is true or not -- which is also partly the medias fault for reporting falsehoods without clarifying) that we have FBI men down there assisting this investigation since there is a US citizen missing. Why is no one grilling our FBI men for info? It seems very easy to beat up on Andy and Barney down there running this thing but let's give them some time.
Again, this isn't an episode of LAW & ORDER.
That's too easy on them. This is more like the Las Vegas of the Caribbean. There is a casino in every hotel. It may be small time, but there has got to be hustling galore with all that gambling. There has to be.
