I'm very familiar with the case.
But that wasn't what I had asked though. You stated that if GG was telling the truth then he would do the re enactment like JVDS did, JVDS did it and he was released, and that investigators could come to an unfavorable conclusion if he didn't do it. That's why I asked if you believed JVDS was telling the truth in that re enactment. No matter though, it wasn't all that important.
The reenactment was before the two brothers were released in July because I was in Aruba at the time and JVDS was brought back to jail and the brothers were released shortly afterwards. I remember there was controversy because JVDS did not have cuffs on. JVDS was not released from jail until September when they determined there was not enough evidence to hold him any longer.
But we have no way of knowing what JVDS said in that reenactment because we don't have any documents from the court. We know he did not leave her on the beach because he afterwards admitted, while he was in Holland, that they got rid of her body.
If GG were telling the truth it could only benefit him to cooperate because Aruban laws are different than our laws. My understanding is that whatever LE finds they don't have to tell his attorney, isn't that correct? At least if he was out there while they were doing the reenactment and he was telling the truth he could clear up some of the misconceptions. This way he has no way of telling what type of conceptions may be derived by his side of the story.
What bothers me, too, is it was reported that they have a witness who saw them leave by car. That tells me he probably took her to the back side of the island thinking her body would eventually wash up where they were "snorkeling" in a couple of days. Another thing which bothers me is the fact he tried to collect on the policy after two days. Who does that when someone is missing? According to Aruba she is just missing at two days out.
GG has some big problems to overcome. He's not Dutch, he's an American and a big difference between he and JVDS. Will they try him? Maybe, maybe not but you can rest assured the US will have all the information they need when the Arubans are done. They don't want this type of person on their island. They don't want this type of publicity. If he would get a harsher sentence in the US, they just might send him back. I don't think they want our criminals in their jails. jmo
