Natalie Holloway Murder: Redux

Article from CNN: Tips renew hopes of solving Holloway case

Why do Aruban authorities keep pussy-footing around with this case? I understand they operate under Dutch Law, and certain criteria need to be met before making an arrest. However, media taint aside is it not abundantly obvious Joran Van der Sloot is culpable for her dissapearance? This guy has got it easier than O.J. up to this point and, short of a bloody glove, is just as guilty.

Perhaps this is why Aruban authorities are investigating new reports - details from a new witness - which apparently bring light top the whereabouts of van der Sloot and his father the night/day of the dissapearance.

“A new witness has emerged, authorities say, who can place van der Sloot and his father, Paulus van der Sloot, near a pond on the island at 4 a.m. onthe day Holloway vanished. The witness told authorities he saw a young man, wet from the chest down and wearing only one shoe, running along a road from the pond to a fast-food restaurant. The witness said he saw the young man and an older man driving slowly down the road in a red Jeep about 10 minutes later.”

Um, where exactly was this witness in 2005? Are these witnesses scared to come forward? And if you did not know, Joran van der Sloot has already confessed to getting rid of the body. If you get rid of the body this sort of implies you knew about or were responsible for the death, does’nt it?

Now Aruban authorities are deciding whether or not they will re-arrest van der Sloot before the end of this year. Great work, let’s announce our intentions before we follow through…

“”We are hoping to make a decision by the end of this year or early next year as to whether we will re-arrest [the younger] van der Sloot or not,” Mos told CNN.”
