She's dead, Aruba probably did something to cover it up, life isn't fair... time to move on.

Agreed.

Should note that I was just down there this past week and found just about everyone there on the island, natives as well as visitors, very nice and friendly.

Only problem I know of there is a problem driving cars.
Starts with having over 55,000 on a rather small island.

I missed these postings the first time around. Not sure what OP's thought or intent at the time were. I too thought about some sort of a perhaps a "good old boys" situation due to the father's contacts but of a small nature.
Will have to see how it now plays out.
Just thought I would include links to what three different governments tell
their citizens about travel to Aruba:
