Just before Police Commissioner Dompig was taken off the case, he talked to CBS correspondent Troy Roberts for an interview. During that interview, Dompig revealed that he believes that Holloway had not been murdered. According to him, it was more likely for her to have died from alcohol or drug poisoning before someone hid her body. Dompig also mentioned that the investigation had already cost Aruba $3 million, about 40% of the operational budget allocated for the police. He implied that they found evidence of drugs in the possession of the victim. However, her family denied that she was a drug user.

The Holloway family offered to reward anyone who could help move the investigation forward. In May 2005, they promised an amount of $175,000 and several donors offered an additional $50,000 for the young woman’s safe return. Two months after that, the reward was increased to $1,000,000! Yes, you’re not misreading that number. There was a separate $100,00 reward that would go to people who could lead them to her remains. This amount was increased to $250,000 by August 2005.
