Hogan’s residence also searched

WILLEMSTAD — As it now appears, the residence of the missing American vice-consul James Hogan had also been searched. Hogan was last seen two weeks ago when he left his residence at Toni Kunchi around 10 PM on foot. The search operations at sea were discontinued Tuesday afternoon.

Being a vice consul, the UN-treaty of Vienna for consular relations applies to Hogan. However, he is not privileged. Permission from the judge was required prior to searching Hogan’s residence. However, on the other hand, the so-called diplomatic courtesy applies to diplomats such as Hogan.
Representatives of the Antillean government, such as the Directorate Foreign Affairs, will keep the American consulate and State Department in the United States informed on the all developments. The land is doing more than it’s obligated to. Conversely, it also occurs that information from the American authorities is passed on to the Antillean authorities through the Directorate Foreign Affairs (DBB). Actually, DBB functions as a kind of intermediary. In that, a keen eye is kept on the existing treaties. This is being carried out by a legal advisor from the American Embassy in Caracas who is currently on the island.

In any case, foreign countries should be clearly informed that the local authorities are giving their all in their search for the missing Hogan. The government no longer guards over his residence, as this is currently in the hands of the American consulate.
Up to this day, the authorities have been very reticent upon providing information. There are no indications that appear to point in the direction of a solution for the missing Hogan.
