There is no more beautiful woman in the world that Beth Twitty. Displaying the range of qualities that scares insecure teenagers and pompous Dutch beauraucrats. It's animalistic without the brutality.

Aruba police search sand dunes for missing Alabama teen
Associated Press ORANJESTAD, Aruba - Police searched sand dunes on the northwest coast of Aruba for Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teen who vanished on this Dutch Caribbean island seven months ago, police said Tuesday.
More than 50 police officers began searching a one-square-mile area on Monday, said Gerold Dompig, Aruba's chief of police. But the search was suspended Tuesday because the force could not continue to devote so many officers to the undertaking.
"We can't pull 55 people from the Aruba police force since the island only has about 250 police," Dompig said. "We do need that many people to do the search."
The zone being searched is roughly the size of eightsoccer fields, or one square mile, Dompig said, adding that almost half the area was searched on Monday.
Authorities might resume the search as early as Thursday, police said. They intended to search the area one more time after that.
Holloway, of Mountain Brook, Ala., was an 18-year-old high school senior on a graduation trip to Aruba when she disappeared. She was last seen on May 30 leaving a bar with three young men - Dutch national Joran van der Sloot and Surinamese brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe.
They were arrested in June and later released.
Police have considered the sand dunes a place of interest since the investigation began and have searched them before, Dompig said.
Authorities said they ordered the new search as part of an ongoing review of the initial investigation.
