Natalee Holloway Update

Missing girl probe considers drugs
Aruba police have 'strong indications' that Alabama teen is dead
 
Friday, March 24, 2006; Posted: 9:31 a.m. EST (14:31 GMT)  
 
 
ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) -- Aruban police reportedly suspect missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway may not have been killed but died from complications involving alcohol and perhaps drugs during a high school trip in the Dutch Caribbean island.
 
Witnesses have come forward who say the then 18-year-old Holloway had drugs in her possession and was drinking heavily on May 30, the day she disappeared, Gerald Dompig, deputy chief of police for Aruba, told CBS television's "48 Hours Mystery" program, which released a partial transcript of the interview on Thursday.
 
"We feel strongly that she probably went into shock or something happened to her system with all the alcohol -- maybe on top of that, other drugs, which either she took or they gave her -- and that she ... just collapsed," he said in the interview, scheduled for broadcast on Saturday.
 
A cover-up may have ensued after the death, he said. Dompig specified that witnesses did not see Holloway taking drugs, only that she had them in her possession.
 
"After 10 months of investigation, including hearing many witnesses, we have strong indications that Natalee has died," Dompig told The Associated Press.
 
Dompig said she could have either died in a nonviolent manner, by her going into shock or that she collapsed due to her body's reaction to effects from alcohol or drugs, or she was killed.
 
Holloway was last seen leaving a bar with Dutch national Joran van der Sloot and Surinamese brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. No one has been charged in her disappearance -- though Dompig told AP that the three remain suspects -- and the investigation has produced a number of false leads.
 
Dompig said searches for her body in sand dunes along the island's northern tip, at a beach close to the Marriott Resort -- where van der Sloot said he last left Holloway -- and a salt pond near the hotel, were ongoing and will continue in the coming weeks.
 
"Our main priority is to find forensic evidence," he told AP, noting searches were based on tips.
 
Dompig told CBS investigators believe that someone took steps to carefully hide Holloway's body -- perhaps burying her twice.
 
In January, investigators searched sand dunes in the same northern area with more than 50 officers.
 
Beth Twitty, Holloway's mother, could not be immediately reached Thursday for comment.

I can't even imagine how furious I would be if I were her mother at this point.  They botched or covered up the case and now they want to come forward and claim she must have died on her own because someone said they saw her with drugs.  :no:

. . . . . well I have it on good authority that this scenario from the Aruban authorities was one of two they have come up with so far . . .  
 
 
 
. . . . . the other was space aliens whisking her away.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sad, sad. . . they botched this investigation from the very start.

It is sad, isn't it?  And maybe she was partying, and maybe she did pass out, but in this day and age is there really anyone who would then try to cover up and bury a body twice because she od through no fault of the people with her?  That doesn't ring true with me.  If she died cause she od and they panicked like that, then that tells me they were directly involved with giving her something that caused her to do so.  They are hiding something other than just a body...plain and simple.
