Het is voor het eerst sinds hun dochter twee weken geleden verdween dat de ouders iets van zich laten horen. In de brief prijzen zij de media dat zij door hen met rust zijn gelaten. ,, Het is voor ons ongelooflijk belangrijk om in deze moeilijke tijd in alle rust en vrijheid hier op Bonaire de verdwijning van onze dochter te kunnen verwerken'', schrijven ze.
Ook bedanken zij de vele mensen op Bonaire en daarbuiten voor de steun en medeleven. ,,Het is fijn voor ons te merken dat het vinden van Marlies voor zo veel mensen zo veel waard is. Marlies is geboren op de Antillen. Haar hele leven voelde ze zich Bonairiaanse en daar was ze trots op. Na een vakantie op Bonaire in 2002 wist ze zeker dat ze ooit terug wilde keren voor langere tijd. Drie weken voor haar verdwijning werd haar droom verwezenlijkt. Helaas heeft het maar drie weken mogen duren...''
Uitstekend opgevangen
Verder laten zij weten dat zij uitstekend zijn opgevangen door de politie. ,,We hebben dagelijks contact over de gang van zaken en weten dat een grote groep Antilliaanse en Nederlandse politiemensen zich dag en nacht bezighoudt met het zoeken naar Marlies. We zijn erg onder de indruk van hun grote deskundigheid en niet nalatende inzet.''
Van der Kouwe verdween in de nacht van zaterdag 20 september. Ze reed 's nachts op Bonaire op een fiets en zou op een scooter zijn meegenomen. Sindsdien ontbreekt elk spoor van de vrouw.

Sunny, I think I read that the cadaver dogs arrived with the KLPD. When I call next time I will ask.  thanks Rob....I haven't been following this as closely as you have...I am pretty sure they do not have a forensics lab on Bonaire and the evidence (should any be found) has to be sent to Curacao.

Interesting that the evidence was sent to Holland in Natalee's case and not Curacao. uuuummmmmm didn't have enough time for it to disappear if it was going to a neighbor islandMy personal opinion here - this case will now drag out. The polis have 30 days to find some evidence or Marlies... or it will, in all likelihood, be over.  What a shame.....this is just so Fxcked!!
You all know how these things go. No body / No case. The statements of the suspect(s) alone are not enough and the statements need to be backed by evidence. It is to Ryan Pieters' advantage to talk and talk a lot. To change his declarations daily. To lie and change his lies the following day.  Yep....we know how that works!

So far, all I see is a scooter with muddy tires and a 16 year old declaring that Ryan Pieters wanted to wash his clothes on the night in question.

Één getuige is géén getuige.

Rob thanks to you and Johan.....you guys ROCK!!!

At least that looks promising

Thank you Rob, Johan and Bastibro -- the parallels to Natalee's disappearance are unreal, and the info about Bonaire being a drug port just amazing. I hope so much that some tips come forward for Marlies' sake and her family's sake.

[johan555]

Her parents are on Aruba and they ask through/via the newspaper for help
In the Telegraaf this morning .
De polite mensen die al anderhalve week zoeken ( the police search since 1 1/2 week )
So she is 2 weeks missing now -when did they start with the search ?
After a few days ? 2 or 3 or 4 ?
And is the ex Police chief Jan van der Straten on Bonaire,he  gives advice ?

Rob and Johan - thank you for all that you are doing, against all odds, to right the wrong.

AES - you're welcome. Some of us predicted that some of the drug traffic to Aruba would be averted from Aruba due to Natalee's case. Traffickers do not like that type of attention. Bonaire has always been a transport... and even with Natalee's case and others, Aruba is still a hub.

Bonaire is probably just seeing an increase that would have went to Aruba.
