The Holloway Files: Secrets from the police archives

by Wim van de Pol, Vincent Verweij, Timo van der Eng (Editor)

Natalee Holloway disappeared on the tropical island paradise of Aruba in 2005 and no trace of her was ever found. Now, for the first time, two renowned investigative journalists have managed to lay their hands on the secret police files of the Holloway case. They ask intriguing questions and provide disconcerting answers to one of the most evocative, baffling, and haunting crime mysteries of this century.

Significant and extraordinary excerpts from the official police dossier are included in this book. Read the actual official witness statements from the dozens of people involved; see transcripts of tapped phone conversations, and read the actual police interrogations of the infamous suspects.

This book exposes the bare facts of the Holloway case like never before. It gives the reader the sensation of sitting right there in the interrogation room with the detectives. For the first time, all the actual facts of the Holloway case are brought into the open, stripped of all media speculation and fanfare. The authors show that irreparable blunders were made by the Aruban police during the investigation. They also highlight the dubious alibis of the suspects in this case. Based on the authentic police files, they pose intriguing questions about facts that were insufficiently investigated at the time, such as: Whose male DNA was left on Natalee’s toothbrush? Who entered Natalee’s hotel room several times on the night that she disappeared? Why is it just assumed that Natalee was left on the beach - never to be seen again?

Embark on a fascinating journey of deceit and intrigue, as you discover one of the most talked-about and perplexing unsolved mysteries of our time.

Heartbreaking story, nothing new here that I noticed. So sorry for Natalie's loved ones.

I couldn't read this. It's not properly formatted. On the Kindle you either have to view it in a massive type or a tiny one.....no in-between. Tried it on my tablet and the same. Either tiny type and when I enlarge it to a readable one it skips locations with every page turn. So it's unreadable as an e-book.
I'd had a TV movie about Natalee Holloway saved on my PVR box and watched it Friday in anticipation of reading this as I'd just seen and downloaded it so that's pretty disappointing.
A pity the authors or Amazon put it out there before checking it could actually be read !!

Een uniek inkijkje in het omvangrijke dossier wat zorgt voor meer inzicht in deze roemruchte zaak!
Strak en zakelijk geschreven, de meest idiote theorieën komen niet vanuit de schrijvers maar vanuit politiedossiers (het laat zien hoeveel moeite er gestoken is in deze zaak).
