No justice for Natalee

In yet another bizarre twist in the Natalee Holloway case, Joran van der Sloot was released yesterday.  Suspects Deepak and Satish Kalpoe were released December 1st.  It appears the incompetence of the authorities in Aruba knows no bounds:

Attorney John Q. Kelly of New York said he expects an announcement later this month that there will be no prosecution of van der Sloot or the other two suspects, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, who were released Dec. 1. Kelly represents Beth Holloway and Dave Holloway.

"The report of significant new incriminating evidence was misleading," Kelly said. "It was the same evidence or lack of evidence they had from the very beginning."

What in the hell is going on down there?   

Authorities re-arrested van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers Nov. 21 after finding what they described as "new incriminating evidence" in Natalee Holloway's disappearance.

"It's all a dog and pony show," Kelly said. "I guess they thought it would be good PR to show they were still working on the case. But it amplifies the fact that they mishandled it from the beginning and continue to mishandle it."

Bottom line: any chance to resolve this case was blown on day one, that's a fact.  Aruba has much to answer for.  Those responsible for Natalee's disappearance and probable death will never be held accountable.  That seems assured.  The question is, will the Aruban authorities ever be held accountable?

I feel so sorry for her family. To never know what happened to your child is too painful to imagine.
