Gerold Dompig was on record as stating that “he had heard from Miller about EquuSearch’s plans and wished them well, but that the government was unlikely to provide official support since the nonprofit group joined in an American call for a boycott of the island."
Tim Miller seems to feel that he has never called for a boycott of Aruba. Tim Miller's words,
“I have not called for a boycott of Aruba. I am not in favor of the boycott. The residents of Aruba are wonderful people, why should they be blamed and held responsible for the actions of a few? I do not feel that it is fair to the residents of Aruba. I do not want them to be a victim in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The three boys may be, but the Aruban people are not.”
One would think whether they be American or Aruban, everyone should just want Natalee found so that the Holloway’s and Twitty’s can have closure as well as the Aruban people. Hopefully that is a common goal we all can stand behind.

The team is doing the search upon request of Prime Minister Nelson Oduber (MEP). |
