"How can I arrest this boy? He's the son of my best friend."
Which is why they let him go immediately. And how could they properly COLLECT EVIDENCE from his best friend's kid? How could they SEARCH his best friend's house?
I think Beth was Very Telling when she remarked about this boy's support group. His family's support was coming from all the police department as well as the political leaders on Aruba.

Aruba Update 1
This is a quick update prior to a brief meeting, after which I hope to havea fuller update posted between 5:30 - 6:00 PM.
Just a day after some were hopeful one piece of this mystery might fall into place as a result of search efforts, news so far today from Aruba hasn't been comforting.
The most troubling news now beginning to be discussed and said to have come from "reliable sources" close to the investigation point to a possible release of all suspects currently being held at the time of their next hearing, believed to be this coming Monday.
A report began on Fox and Friends this AM that a high level police official is Joran's Godfather could not be confirmed as yet. I questioned the report, as Joran was born in Hooland, not on Aruba - it has been suggested that while the formal term of Godfather may not apply, current information and a previous report of a high level police official having referred to Paul(us) v d Sloot as his "best friend" could indicate that Joran has benefitted from connections, especially during the early part of this investigation.
A last item for now, I have been told that Aruba is surrounded by radar, manned in three shifts with nine members comprising each shift - and despite persistent rumors of all island intrigue as regards Natalee Holloway are unfounded, as this radar would have documented such an effort. That report not officially confirmed.
