Paul VDS had everything to lose if his son had a dead body on his hands. Aruba LE just may be on to this or our FBI.

The truly sad part is, because of the ineptness of the Aruba LE, we may never know. If your theory is true, Mr. VDS was banking on his "connections" to buy him enough time to get rid of the evidence. If this is how it went down, it looks like his gamble paid off.
