Natalee Holloway's dad sends search dog to Aruba
40 minutes ago
ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — Aruba prosecutors say Natalee Holloway's father has flown a search dog and a handler to the island to look for the missing teenager's body.
A spokeswoman for the Prosecutors' Office says the dog is searching a reservoir that witnesses have previously identified as a possible location where Holloway's remains might be found.
But Ann Angela says neither police nor prosecutors have received any new leads in the case.
She said Friday in a statement that Dave Holloway took the initiative because he will not rest until he finds his daughter.
Natalee Holloway, from Mountain Brook, Ala., was last seen in May 2005 leaving a bar in the Aruban capital Oranjestad. She was 18 at the time.

Oh, Java....one can only hope...............

[PhoenixTheory]

I can't even begin to think what it must be like, to raise a child, go thru all the tough periods of their growing up, the sacrafices, and headaches, and finaly the delight as they grow up to become a person of their own.....and have them vanish off the planet, when you know they have to be dead deep down.....in a strange country.

It's hard enough to loose anyone you love, but in a situation like that...it has to be ten fold worse.

I hear you Phoenix. Heartbreaking. I hope and pray this eventually brings some sort of resolve to the family.

I would always have that little tiny doubt that maybe she was somewhere alive and suffering, you know? That's what I mean by resolution in these cases, being sure. Until they find her, there might always be that .0001% chance in their minds that she was sold into slavery like one theory says or something. I sure hope they find her!

Besides, then maybe Aruba will indict that horse apple.

Holloway, from Mountain Brook, Ala., disappeared in May 2005 in the Aruban capital Oranjestad. She was 18 at the time.

Angela said neither police nor prosecutors have any new information in the case, but they gave Dave Holloway permission to search.

Dave Holloway did not immediately return a message seeking comment. His attorney, Vinda de Sousa, told The Associated Press he insisted on another search of the reservoir after a witness who identified it as a possible location passed a lie detector test in the U.S

Aruba: New search for Natalee Holloway
A private investigator will scour a retention pond for answers
updated 3:57 p.m. PT, Sun., March. 22, 2009

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The father of a U.S. teen who went missing nearly four years ago in Aruba said Sunday that a private investigator will scour a retention pond for answers that have eluded the family throughout numerous false leads and fruitless searches.

Dave Holloway said tracker dog specialist Fred Golba, from Chicopee, Massachusetts, will begin his latest search for evidence into Natalee Holloway's May 2005 disappearance early Monday. He said the tracker, who has searched for her eight times before, must be accompanied to the pond by Aruban police escorts, who delayed an anticipated weekend search.

Natalee Holloway, from Mountain Brook, Alabama, was 18 when she was last seen leaving a bar in the Aruban capital on the final night of a high school graduation trip. No trace of her has been found despite extensive searches involving hundreds of volunteers, Aruban soldiers, FBI agents and even Dutch F-16 jets with special equipment.

Witness passed a polygraph test
But Dave Holloway said a witness last year alleged that he saw the only remaining suspect, Joran van der Sloot, coming out of the brackish pond in northwest Aruba with only one sneaker on after Natalee's disappearance. He said the witness has passed a polygraph test.

"I've been looking for (nearly) four years and I intend to search all the evidence and every lead," said Holloway, speaking to The Associated Press from his home in Meridian, Mississippi. "(The witness) saw what he saw — or he believed he saw what he saw."

Sections of the remote pond area have been searched previously and no evidence was ever found.

Holloway said he had been waiting for the retention pond to dry up before commissioning this latest search, "but the weather has not been cooperative."

Ann Angela, a spokeswoman for the Aruba Prosecutors' Office, said neither police nor prosecutors have any new information in the case, but they gave Dave Holloway permission to search the pond, which is about a kilometer (mile) away from where she was last seen.

Dog to search scrubland
Before he left for Aruba on Friday, Golba told Fox 25 television in Boston that he planned to stick his hands into the pond's muddy bottom and feel around for "bones and his sneaker" while his tracking dog searches the marshy scrubland.

"I have more confidence in this pond then anything I have done in eight trips to this island," Golba told the TV station.

In early January, Chief Prosecutor Hans Mos said his office was "approaching the end of this lengthy investigation" and appealed to the public for help.

I watched it. The previews kept saying we were going to learn something new? but it appeared to go over all the things we already knew. I guess for those who've followed Natalee's disappearance from the beginning, if you missed the movie I wouldn't be to upset about it and for those who haven't followed the case, maybe you'll learn something new.
