Natalee Holloway: So this is the Answer to the Holloway/Twitty’s Letter to the Aruban Attorney General?

On November 2, 2005 the Holloway’s & Twitty’s sent a joint letter to the Aruban Attorney General asking that the investigators and prosecutors be changed in the case of their missing daughter Natalee Holloway. As per the other day when I spoke with Dave Holloway there had been no answer from Aruba to the points made in the letter. Without any formal response to the families I guess we are to presume that Aruba’s answer to the family’s of Natalee Holloway are coming through Aruban newspapers?

Monica Arends-Kock
You cannot just fire people in the Public Prosecutor’s office
A.M. Digital, November 11, 2005

We approached Parliament Member Monica Arends-Kock, leader of the MPA fraction in Parliament for her opinion on removing the top of the Public Prosecutor’s office and members of the team that is investigating the Natalee Holloway case.

Arends said that neither a Governor of the State of Alabama nor the Twitty family can determine who functions in our legal system and who does not. If errors were made then we are the ones to correct these. It is not possible that a country that has no say in our internal affairs can tell us to remove certain trusted people from their position.

Prime Minister Oduber denies intention to move anybody
A.M. Digital, November 11, 2005

Prime Minister Oduber denied that he expressed to be in favor of firing the top of the Public Prosecutor’s Department or anybody of the investigating team of the Natalee Holloway case.

Oduber said that he trusts that everybody understands Papiamento, especially those in Parliament, because what he said was that if the United States Government and the Twitty and Holloway families do not have confidence in a member of the investigating team, then it must be possible to replace such an official. He never expressed any intention to fire anybody.

Observadornan a mustra PROPOSISCION HISTERICO DI NEL ODUBER Y RUDY LAMPE PA RETIRO DI PG Y HOOFDOFFICIER, November 10, 2005

ORANJESTAD (AAN): There was little missing and a majority in the Parliament in Aruba to give the power to the Oduber cabinet to retire the Attorney General and Head Officer of Justice of Aruba. This was based on a proposition made in a hysterical manner by the Prime Minister Nel Oduber and the leader of the RED faction, parliamentarian Rudy Lampe. Aruba almost entered into a disastrous adventure.

After the announcement of the boycott against Aruba was made by the Alabama Governor Bob Riley, a faction of the AVP asked for an urgent parliament meeting to discuss these worrisome developments.

At one point in the meeting, Prime Minister Nel Oduber started to suggest that they have to look at the Public Ministry for who is responsible for this situation. Nel Oduber insinuated in the direction of the Attorney General, Head Officer Of Justice and other police functionaries who have failed in this case.
