On Tuesday, May 26, another dwelling was searched. No arrests have been made during the investigations as yet. Investigators of the Netherlands and Dutch Caribbean Police Force, with assistance from the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are still working on solving the case, which is codenamed “Hector.”
