Holloway Twitty says Cover-up possible

Hmm, she might be right about the Aruban government covering up the disappearance but I seriously doubt it.

Holloway Twitty said if she did not see results soon, she might start to believe authorities were trying to protect the young men, who told police they took Holloway to a beach after an evening of dancing and drinking.

The Dutch boy is an honors student at Aruba International School and is the son of a high-ranking judicial official in Aruba.

"All three of those boys know what happened to her," Holloway Twitty said Sunday.


I agree that these boys know exactly what happened to her and aren't coming clean about it. They are, after all, the last people to see her alive. I don't think the Aruban government would cover it up though. They just have too much to lose.

Look at it from a strictly dollars and cents perspective. Aruban tourism is probably being hurt by the disappearance in the first place but it will eventually recover. They may not get as many senior class trips but they will still get partying adults and college students.

If their government was caught trying to cover up the disappearance it would be permanent disaster to their tourist industry. They would be siding with some government official over one of their own tourists. That is the kind of thing that would go down in Iran, Myanmar or some other dangerous place and not a sun, surf, and sand location like Aruba.
