THIS IS ANOTHER INTERESTING ARTICLE BY "DALE NETHERTON" ON THE NATALEE HOLLOWAY CASE ! SHE WILL "NOT" BE FORGOTTON.

With a recap of the Fox News coverage, the media now rests waiting for something to emerge that will shed new light on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Their theories to date have led them nowhere but they proudly present all they have done as an example of an exhaustive search. This column is a reminder of what they haven’t done or considered.
First of all they have not given a hard look at a possible motive for her disappearance. I covered this is a previous article you can find under my other articles. This is a key determinate that all investigations pursue. Motive answers why someone would want to abduct Natalee. I use the word abduction because murder is premature. Without any evidence to support this crime , abduction was seldom considered. You will note that the media seldom mentioned this possibility. They focused mainly on the what they assumed had happened to Natalee ( i.e she had been murdered ). This focus in spite of no evidence to support it- evidently was their vision of what would be most news worthy. The results speak for themselves.
Where does that now leave us? It leaves us reviewing the whole case from the standpoint of what went wrong in the investigation that nothing was turned up. This leads us to the investigators and their methodology. This leads us to a review of their theories on what happened and why they looked where they did. It leads us to ask why there is not an internal review process being conducted and if it is , when will the results of that investigation be made public? Concluding they did all that they could -with no results is unacceptable. It is unacceptable to the grieving family and it is unacceptable to Natalee’s hope and it is unacceptable to the country of Aruba. For the reputation of either a corrupt or incompetent police investigation will not enhance visitors to flock to a country where they may disappear and never be found.
It is in everyone’s interest except the guilty to dig deeper into the case. One could excuse the performance of the investigation as a lack of leads or evidence but that begs the question Why? With a reward and a small island to search , false arrests ( based on what?) and screwball theories tossed out by a chief investigator, the lack of leads and evidence rings phony. Unless these red herrings can be satisfactorily be explained it is time for the investigation to focus on the methodology and the agency doing the investigation. This must be asked for- and insisted upon - to either exonerate the investigation team or find it’s faults. The evident hope of the guilty party is to play for time until public opinion becomes resigned that the crime falls into the unsolvable category.
This is almost too obvious. At the slightest hint of bad publicity, an arrest comes forward only to vaporize without information. This is the tactic of “doing something” just as a worker can appear to look busy. It is not leading to results : therefore, it is not aimed at solving the crime. Random arrests appear to be attempts at effort but when this effort becomes a visible ploy, serious interrogation of the reason for the technique must be activated. Those responsible should be aware they are either encouraging skepticism or if they are involved, looking more and more guilty as time passes. This is because if they are hiding something they have no other choice to pursue. They cannot find what will incriminate them and they cannot expose what they want to hide.
If nothing Could be done it would be a far different story. But something Can be done and it isn’t. This is what makes this case so intriguing. If it were fiction there would be thousands of readers questioning the events, possible motives and who was involved? There would be an expectation the conclusion of the book would reveal the culprits. Nothing would be excluded as possible and an elaborate plot to abduct young attractive girls including corruption and cover up would be brought to light, the villains caught and the ending would be satisfactory. There would be no loose ends left hanging and there would be no public acceptance of the nonsense the crime was unsolvable. But this is a real case and as such is not just something an author dreamed up. A real person disappeared, a real person abducted her and a real person ( or persons) is out there thinking they are not going to be found out.
The only thing these criminals have to hope for is disinterest. That isn’t going to happen. In the first place, there are too many unanswered questions and in the second place another similar crime will cast light on what has been going on. Criminals have to try again when they succeed and it is only a matter of time until they do. It would be better for all if that didn’t happen. Digging into the investigation may prevent the need for another victim and reveal what really happened to the girl from Alabama.
