Gerold Dompig focusing his attention to the US in the investigation of Natalee Holloway

Police Commissioner Gerold Dompig is now head of the Investigating Team in the Natalee Holloway case has made some rather peculiar statements lately regarding the focus of his attention. Dompig has made public demands on wanting to question the Mountain Brook teens that were on vacation in Aruba when Natalee Holloway went missing and to question Beth Twitty who he claims has been uncooperative. In an A.M. Digital article Gerold Dompig stated the following:

Another issue is that so far the investigation has been focused in Aruba. Dompig said that now he and the team have redirected the focus to also include the US, because the group of students came from the US to party in Aruba and have a good time and it cannot be that they do not know anything about what happened.

For the police commissioner the information that the investigating team received from the FBI does not represent much. Therefore Dompig will make the same appeal on the Alabama teens as he did in Aruba: to call 011 297 587 0009 ext 101 to give any information that they may have.

Dompig has also made similar comments during recent talk shows as well. One can only hope that the Aruban investigators are actually contacting the Mountain Brook families directly and privately as well to answer any such questions and not just using talk shows. Dompig also made a similar comment in Diario; COMISARIO DOMPIGA TA BAY PIDI OMPAÃ’ERONAN DI NATALEE HOLLOWAY, PA KIBRA NAN SIKENCIO (Commissioner Dompig will ask for Natalee Holloway’s classmates to break their silence), where he Dompig asked the Mountain Brook teens to come forward and break their silence.

According to the commissioner, they were focusing the investigation very much on Aruba only, while now along with the team, Dompig is focusing on America as well.

The commissioner explains that one cannot forget that this was a group which drank together and had a good time, but it is not possible that nobody knows anything.

Dompig explains that the classmates’ declarations which they got from the FBI do not give sufficient information.

Although it is important to get statements and accounts from all involved including those that were with Natalee Holloway during her vacation to Aruba one wonders why now after five months. Why was this not done initially? If there were gaps in time or missing information why were there not follow up questions in the period between now and the point in which Natalee went missing? Who waits five months to get answers? I guess the same can be said as to why after five months no search has ever been made of the primary suspects home?
