The remains of Marlies van de Kouwe are identified
october 18 2008
When Marlies van de Kouwe disappeared at Bonaire at september 21 this year, we all had to think about the Natalee Holloway case.
Marlies seemed to have disappeared without a trace, but careful police investigation revealed that people had seen she was dragged from her bicycle and taken away on a scooter.
She was 24 and worked in the drugstore at the island.
A nice young women.
The storm Omar revealed body parts near a waste dump.
Analysis of the teeth established the identity.
4 suspects were taken into custody. One had nothing to do with the case, the other three are still behind bars.
Ryan P. the prime suspect, has been taken to the jail at curacao.
The media have dealt with the disappeance of Marlies in a respectful way.
No one trying to get in the limelight and no one hunting for american media interest.
The parents have been left alone as good as possible.
I feel so sorry for them and for the rest of the family and friends of Marlies.
But I'm glad it hasn't been the same media circus as it was with Natalee Holloway's case.
