From Greta
Vinda - Prosecutor has daily contact with her. Told the searches are being planned, coordinatedboth previously and unpreviously searched located.
G- why can't the searches just be done, why do they have to plan them?
Depends on the areas being searched, some areas have to be planned to be efficient. Weather hasn't been cooperating -
What is the plan
Direct focus searches on specific areas - not at liberty to divulge what area or what method - land and dives though.
Are they searching for bones? Weapons etc?
Primarily trying to find whatever remains there might be able to be found, if anything else is found in the process that's a plus
The arubans still understand Beth is mother of a missing child - it is a fact that the arubans are hurt there is a boycott. They don't understand why *gagging as I type* They feel they've done everything, moral support etc.
Team Searcher coming up next
Tim MIller
WHy did you leave?
We did everything we could, we was lead to the water by dompig. We had two sets of sonar, he asked them to go 3-5 miles out. They could go 150 feet deep, but after a mile out, they need different equipment. All that was needed was an informal phone call - looked like they had cooperation. Thursday all communication stopped. On Friday - he was ugly, and said "i don't have time to sit down and write letters" he indicated that all of it had to go through the prosecutor, not dompig.
Florida State University had the connection with the Navy who was willing to bring equipment. Dompig had the FBI's number that was willing to bring equipment (One other person was willing to as well)
Theory as to why Dompig suddenly stopped cooperating?
Tim- I don't know, not in support of boycott, didn't want to be involved in the politics, but question if they really want Natalee to be found. They found remains of FIVE people in the states, brought closure to those families - Give us the opportunity to use the equipment at no cost - let us bring Natalee home for closure. We have equipment and expertise. If we upset you, tell us why and let us fix it.
I'm supporting Beth 100% in boycott. ...... We're getting the run around. i am upset!
Greta- if you get a call from Dompig let us know.
After listening to Tim Miller from TES, I'm so angry I could spit nails. His words hit me in the gut...hard. Dompig doesn't have time to write a letter or simply make a phone call to request the equipment from the US needed for the search to continue. **deleted curses**
Tim is now in full support of Beth and a boycott of Aruba.
This is a turning point in this case. I think all of Beth's rage is about to explode. I have absolutely no hope of Aruba ever doing the right thing. There are no Lone Rangers in Aruba...nor a lone Texas Ranger...no good guys whatsoever.
If I were Beth, at this point, I would drop the diplomacy and go for the juglar. She's got nothing to lose, but Aruba does. They've already taken her treasured child and they REFUSE to give her back. It's time for Beth to take from them...take all she can. And when they beg for mercy, give them hell.
I even heard a rumor that Charles Croes might have been the one to give the sloots a heads up about the Twitty's being on the island and on Joran's trail. So even he is suspect.
Would someone slap that guy on Greta's panel, Ted? Then duct tape over his mouth...Please!
