Experts crack research in Holloway case

Tuesday April 4 2006 – DEN HAAG — Dutch legal scholars are strongly critical of the Aruban police investigation into the disappearance of the missing American teenager Natalee Holloway. They are describing the methods used by the investigative team “strange and unprofessional”. They are also critical of the actions of acting chief of police Gerold Dompig.

“It is unfathomable that the police didn’t start looking for Natalee’s body immediately after having received an important tip-off”, according to Menno Dolmam, Dolman teaches criminal law at the University of Amsterdam. The place in the dunes where they searched last week was left totally undisturbed for weeks, which could have meant the loss of vital clues.

Usually such an area is cordoned off immediately. “To dig and take samples.” But not on Aruba.

Amigoe: Tracker dogs arrived in Aruba, Search for Natalee Holloway

After nearly three months since the “credible tip” came in to Aruban authorities, “a delegation of four Dutch police officers and two special trained tracker dogs” arrived in Aruba yesterday to search the sand dunes. The lack of urgency has made many question the credibility of the tip and the motives of the ALE as to why this was not acted upon sooner. Also, there is another team that has still not even reached Aruba yet. What the delay there is, is anyone’s guess.
