The parents went in and successfully stalled the investigation via interviews in the media and criticism of local officials. It’s not difficult to see what happened, the cops basically took a vacation until the controversy died down and then went back to work on the case.

My question to you, “What would you have done if this had been your child?”
Aruba must be feeling the pinch of their tourist economy downfall. I as one American, hope they live in poverty for infinity.
This is America and We will Stand and Fight!!
