Thoughts for her family. I'm with Jim, just sickening. I am surprised there hasn't been more of a response here about this. I did a search for her name, and there are a lot of fora that are discussing the case/issue. If it were an American girl would more BTers respond?

By Bas Noij (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #257) on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 12:34 pm: |
Harrie, I do not agree that a board like BT is the correct podium to discuss hearsay issues and I think the BT policy is correct on this. The majority of posters on BT are NOT Bonaire residents but are VERY passionate about our beautiful island. This is a great thing in many many ways but when it comes to crime issues and sometimes other issues that are not tourism related but close to peoples hearts the discussions tend to go out of hand. This has happened a lot in the past. Passionate people on a sensitive subject with a lack of first hand information is a sure recipe for 'disaster discussions' IMHO.
|
By Jerry (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #12997) on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 12:59 pm: |
Bas you are correct, and you can also bet that this thread is being watched very closely.

By ModCyn (Moderator - Post #742) on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 1:06 pm: |
Harrie, thanks. I think you, and Ann misunderstood my statement. Posts of news articles, or information that was publicised on Bonaire radio are not "hearsay" in my opinion, it is information that Bonaire lovers are looking for.
|
By Vince DePietro (Bellevue Bonaire Condo ) (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1683) on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 1:25 pm: |

By Julie Jones (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #1) on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 1:47 pm: |
What I hope that is being done is more than what a traditional search and rescue (SAR) team would do, which would be to start searching all over with cadaver dogs.

If you recall the NH scenario in Aruba, news and info changed daily and sometimes hourly. This is the case with the Bonaire situation. People are translating Dutch news reports or Amigo news and there is a lot of truth and here say. There are daily press releases from the police so maybe that would be best posted if it is public. So far today, from locals on island and ex pats, there are 10 stories floating around. I will believe something when I hear an official police bulletin. It seems now a unified effort is in place with several police authorities. Julia, you may want to post your URL so folks know who you represent please.
|
By Julie Jones (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #2) on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 3:00 pm: |
While I definitely feel that two experienced members of our unit who could help on this case as this is what we do, posting on here was more of "I hope that resources of this type are used" versus bringing in straight SAR teams if indeed this turns out to be more of a case like NH's case was. I am stating only my own personal feelings.

Indeed, the police-chief was extremely clear in this, no ransom, although he had only spoken to the mother of the 8 y old, not the father, but he was still very sure of this.

In the case of Marlies v.d. Kouwe, he said nothing that she was found. Several house-searchings were done, several things were taken in security, didn't want to tell what it was, and what was found on those things.

Please, please, please, Bonaire Talk supporters and Bonaire residents do not post information that is unsubstantiated. Rumor and innuendo can be devastating to our island. Even if the police are only providing limited information about the investigation at least that information is based in fact, not rumor or speculation. Whether the police have done a proper job or not is a separate issue. Please do not post information unless it is based in fact and not second or third hand information. Let us not let this issue get out of hand. Truth is alway less interesting than rumor.

Bas, well said....I guess that is what I was trying to say in my post. Re Danielle's post, she was posting from the island, and we believe she is a resident. I'm afraid what happened is that she probably "heard" it and was excited in thinking Mariles had been found. Which, is not something we want here (something heard).
|
By Danielle (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #4) on Sunday, September 28, 2008 - 2:03 pm: |
I would like to apologise to everyone. I honestly did not mean to upset anyone and I really thought it was true since it came from a (so I thought) relyable source.In my excitement I posted it as a fact and you are all correct that it was hear say. I assume you can understand I want her found as much as anyone and I made a horrble mistake by posting the message. Again, my apologies and I hope she will be found soon.

Dear all,
|
By Jim and Jane Madden (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #146) on Sunday, September 28, 2008 - 3:39 pm: |
Mickey, the article in 9/27 edition of Extra was essentially just a re-hash of the story reported in a Dutch newspaper that the kidnapping of Marlies was related to attempted kidnapping of the 8 year old girl whose father has drug convictions and a last name very similar to Marlies' last name and whose older 17 year old daughter works near the bar where Marlies was last seen. Harrie has posted some of this information previously. At this time, the police deny that there is any connection between the two cases. There was nothing new about the case in any of the articles in Extra.
|
By Simone (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #9) on Sunday, September 28, 2008 - 3:40 pm: |
Well, Harrie, I don't know, but there was on the radio, that the suspect admitted that he was with her at some time...Not much more at this moment...The mother is also there for questioning.

|
By Arjan de Briuin (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #2) on Monday, September 29, 2008 - 6:03 am: |
Later, I will post another translated article from the Telegraaf, another Dutch paper, that paints a different picture on the suspect than the view of his uncle in the AD article. (I need some time to translate) This article is by John van den Heuvel, a Dutch crime reporter with (for a Dutch reporter) a lot of knowledge of Bonaire. I know he visited Bonaire more than once and has good contacts there. This weekend, in an other article, he called in question the Bonaire police decision not to follow the link to the “Van Kouwen family" kidnap attempt and ransom demand. He also used terms like “the blunders of the police in de first two days”.He states that police chief had to admit on Friday that his detectives had not made any contact with the Van Kouwen family. Initially he tried to obscure that by saying that “the family was approached". Schagen told that he had make inquire with van Van Kouwens wife, we proved be knew nothing at all.

I'd like to add, folks, don't get your panties in a twist if we remove part of your post, or all of your post. Moderating this thread, is becoming painfully difficult. We have discussed closing it down if it gets out of hand. We want to keep it open, so that information can be provided. However, again, please, think before you post.

Harrie, are you asking to be suspended from Bonaire Talk? Our rules are clear, and I don't see why you continue to ignore our repeated requests to follow our rules. Stop posting hearsay! Don't post what you think you heard on the radio. People may be interested in what is going on on the island when crimes against people occur, but these false, tabloid style, sensational posts that you encourage and engage in yourself are absolutely not useful to anyone. Furthermore, I'm quite sure they would be hurtful to any friends and relatives of the victims, who may be monitoring the internet for any news.

Jay, using CAPITAL is considered shouting and we do not tolerate that on BT. Your statement regarding CNN is leaving me clueless. Most posters and readers are people who love Bonaire and are looking for information about Bonaire in general and on this page for information regarding the disaperance of a young lady. Please do act as if you care. And if you don't care, please don't post. If you continue to post like you did before, we have to suspend your account.

In the recent posted translations from AD and Telegraaf I missed the article below. I think it has important information so I made a translation. Although it is by now 2 days old it may still be relevant.

Due to interference of real life (even I have a paying job) I didn't post messages from several of our readers. I will post those messages below. As mentioned earlier, we are grateful for the translations and for sending us these messages.
