Aruba is inept

Authorities in Aruba stated they are resuming the search Wednesday for missing Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway. The lead investigator in the case calls this the "critical last phase" of the search.

This announcement was difficult to grasp a full ten months after the incident took place. Then I discovered they are brining in cadaver dogs from Holland to search the beach area near the Marriott and ground radar equipment used in Bosnia to find mass graves. The authorities also announced , they're comparing satellite images of this area taken before Natalee disappeared last May and photos taken (more recently) to see if there's, like, a shift or something peculiar, changes in the landscape, to help pinpoint a burial location.

Aruba announced they were working with a tipster with information too specific to be a story that made up by somebody.

I am sure Aruba is very excited over the possibility of closing a case haunting them for this length of time. Ten months living with a high profile case as this one has to take its toll on the investigators involved.

They might not be in this position had they allowed outside investigators in when it occurred. Their attitude was America are cowboys and all that accomplished was the world learning Aruba authorities are inept with no clue how to handle a case with far reaching implications like this.

The family has been waiting ten months for closure. All the while deep within their minds they hope she is still alive. This case has gone on far too long. The authorities in Aruba should be ashamed of their actions and lack of professionalism at the onset of the case. Ten months is too long without a suspect, a motive, anything for a family to grasp.

America should boycott all travel to Aruba and not just until the case is solved, but forever.
