Boats On Parade In Aruba

By Meri Ulrich
Mar. 31, 2006

During his little show on "48 Hours", Gerald Dompig showed the audience some computer screens that are housed at the police department where he conducts his business. We saw boats being tracked and he claimed that those were the boats that were tracked on the night that Natalee Holloway disappeared. He showed that every single boat that came and went out of Aruba on that fateful night was tracked on that screen.
 
He lied.
 
On May 30th, 2005, Aruba had NO working tracking system in place. It didn't exist.
 

Raytheon Canada to Install Coastal Surveillance Radars in Dutch Caribbean

Raytheon Canada won a contract valued at approximately $12 million (EUR 10 million) from the Royal Netherlands Navy and the Coast Guard of the Netherlands Antilles & Aruba (CGNA&A) to build an integrated coastal surveillance radar network on the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, including long-term maintenance and training.

With respect to the system's purpose, and setup...

Ahh, Bonaire...

The system will enable the precision monitoring of marine traffic in the waters around the Dutch Caribbean. It will be used primarily for search and rescue and drug interdiction, but it will also help combat illegal immigration.

The baseline system consists of eight radar sites equipped with a single command and control center based at the CGNA&A's rescue and coordination center in Curacao. Each site is composed of a Raytheon Canada Marine Small Target Tracker, Terma SCANTER 2001 Radar from Terma of Denmark, plus wireless communications and physical infrastructure. The command and control center will be provided by HITT Traffic of The Netherlands.

Though radars were not mentioned as a key component in Canada's aerospace strategy, Raytheon Canada has been an important Canadian player since the 1950s. The firm employs 1,400 people at multiple sites in Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Ontario. Radar and traffic management systems make up a large portion of its offerings.

Please not the DATE of this article and you will see when the system was awarded to Raytheon. It was not installed back in May, 2005.

So what exactly did we see on Dompig's screen? Since the new system was not in place back in May, 2005 , we must have seen something a lot more recent then the night that Natalee disappeared. We saw those boats but they had nothing to do with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

It was an impressive system that we were shown but we DID NOT see what happened on the night of May 30th, 2005 because the system didn't exist on Aruba on that night.

This should come as no surprise to anyone following this case because the Aruban authorities have become masters at spinning the truth to suit their own needs.

We can name those who practice this spin in our sleep by this point in time: Arlene, Julia, Dompig, Cohen and the list goes on and on.

I offer my heartfelt congratulations to Raytheon of Canada for securing such a lofty contract and only wish that they had been able to install it when it was truly needed to help find a missing girl.

Once again the Sand Dunes are being searched (this time by the Dutch themselves) and I hope that they have some luck. Thus far, no one has been able to verify Dompig's "Credible" and "emotional" witness who pointed him directly to the burial site of Natalee Holloway. Granted it's a large area to search and on several occasions the Aruban's failed to search it with the proper equipment but the previous American searchers DID have some of that equipment and they had no luck either. Let's hope that the Dutch fare better than their predecessors.

Let's also hope that they reconsider searching the deeper water along the coast of Aruba where it is possible that Natalee was dumped.

In order for Paulus' now infamous words, "No body... " (you all know the rest) to come true it seems unlikely that Natalee was buried so close to the scene of the crime...or no crime...or maybe a crime..

It seems a bit chancy that the grave diggers would put her where she might be found, but no one is accusing the people involved of having any brains so it IS possible that they buried Natalee right on their own home turf.

If they were paid hired hands and not of the highest element that society has to offer (read that as people who might be seen in front of Carlos & Charlie's on any given night offering drugs to the unsuspecting tourist trade), they might not have done such a thorough job of getting rid of the evidence. After all, one who is under the influence doesn't ALWAYS die of an OD and can function stoned. Perhaps visions of their next big high (paid for by someone higher on the food chain of class structure on Aruba), might have induced them to do the deed. Of course, this couldn't possibly have guaranteed that they had one working brain cell left in order to think through what they were doing and according to Dompig it became necessary to re-bury the body.

Maybe the second group of grave diggers were a bit more coherent and did a much better job and that's why it's taking so long to find the body. Or perhaps the body NEVER was on land and is out to sea in a cage and NO ONE is looking for that.

The offer to bring back high-tech equipment to search the deeper water was turned down by the Aruban government for some strange reason.

I guess the "Credible" and "emotional" witness that met with the Chief THREE months ago carried enough weight to focus solely on a land burial.

I hope that said "Credible" and "emotional" witness was right and that the Dutch team will recover Natalee Holloway's body so that her family can bring her home once and for all and give her the burial that she deserves rather then some lonely spot on a God-forsaken Island that may have been conducted by drugged out strangers who treated her like a sack of rotten potatoes.

If not...go look in the water........
