The "psychic" seems to be a "medium":
ALEX QUADE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Tim Miller and his Texas search team say they have a lead about where Natalee Holloway might be.
TIM MILLER, TEXAS EQUUSEARCH: I think we're going to Alabama next week and we're going to have (INAUDIBLE).
QUADE (on camera): That sure?
MILLER: I'm optimistic. I'm not positive.
QUADE: Is this from a lead? Is this from intel?
MILLER: It's been a lot of work. You know, information.
QUADE (voice-over): The team eliminated other likely locations. Tides and currents and Mary Ann Morgan brought them here, to Aruba's north shore.
MARY ANN MORGAN, SPIRITUAL MEDIUM: Natalee three weeks ago, woke me up in the middle of the night...
QUADE: Morgan is a medium who's worked with police on several high-profile cases. She's been secretly in Aruba, working with searchers. She says Holloway has been communicating with her.
MORGAN: So she went through and gave me like five to seven detailed pages of notes about the whole circumstance, and that was three weeks ago. I've never been to Aruba. She gave me names of boats. She gave me coordinates.
QUADE: Tim Miller says the information supports his team's findings so far.
(on camera): Where do you think that she is?
MILLER: I think we're going to find her right at this spot, half a mile offshore, (INAUDIBLE).
QUADE (voice-over): The area has high swells.
(on camera): What we're worried about now about the waves. The seas are five to six feet out there.
(voice-over): It's a place divers don't visit, and boats only rarely. But the volunteer searchers are going to risk it.
Gene Ralston is a sonar expert who worked on the Laci Peterson case. He shows what he's looking for.
GENE RALSTON, SONAR EXPERT: Sometimes the shadow will tell you as much about what the object is as the object itself, or as in this case...
QUADE (on camera): I mean, this is very obvious. It looks like a body...
RALSTON: Yes.
QUADE: Because you can see...
RALSTON: And you can see shadow coming from his toes right here, sticking up.
QUADE (voice-over): Ralston is also scanning for anything that looks like a box.
MILLER: I think that they also put her inside of something. They weighted her down.
QUADE (on camera): You think she might be in a box, weighted down in there?
MILLER: Pretty sure that she is.
QUADE (voice-over): Police have not said they should be looking for a container.
RALSTON: This is the area that has been identified as a distinct possibility for where she may have been placed.
QUADE (on camera): And right now, our problems are?
RALSTON: Well, the sea is (INAUDIBLE) sidescan images.
QUADE (voice-over): Anticipation is high, but so is the surf.
Next day, the conditions are still bad, but Ralston gets a sonar hit. RALSTON: We have something right there.
QUADE (on camera): Something? So you got something there, but you don't know what it is?
RALSTON: That's correct.
QUADE (voice-over): The divers go out. All they find are oddly shaped rocks.
It's exhausting work.
After a tropical depression passes on day three of this mission, the seas are calm. That's when Ralston picks up a sonar image that looks like a box. The divers mark the spot with a buoy.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The (INAUDIBLE), I have to look at the charts, but around 20-some minutes, 25 minutes.
QUADE: They find nothing. But will try again.
(on camera): You're taking a risk, your divers are taking a risk.
MILLER: Everybody's taking a risk. We almost lost a boat out there yesterday.
QUADE (voice-over): Tim Miller and his team believe it's just a matter of time and resources before they find Natalee Holloway.
MILLER: We never came here to be in the criminal business. We've...
QUADE (on camera): But you're playing a pivotal role. If you find this body, I men, this is the key to the case.
MILLER: She's our girl. When we bring her up, you got an investigation. We're going to bring our girl up.
QUADE (voice-over): And they are prepared if they don't.
MILLER: The day may come where we've exhausted our resources, and we'll have to leave this island. We'll all have tears in our eyes, but we'll know that we made every single attempt.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
O'BRIEN: That was Alex Quade. A number of searchers will be leaving Aruba tomorrow. Their normal jobs and bills are calling. But Tim Miller hopes he can bring in fresh volunteers and more high-tech search equipment. You can go to their Web site. That's at texasequusearch.org. That's e-q-u-u -- to get more information.

Thanks for finding that! You are FAST!!!
What an interesting interview. I was wondering if mediums or psychics were involved. What are the odds that this could be Natalee?
Have you heard this??
A few years before my retirement I worked on a high profile homicide case that involved a man that murdered his wife and children. I received several phone calls from many so-called mediums. I heard every thing from he’s dead to he’s hiding in nearby towns to he’s sipping tequila in Mexico. I dismissed all of them….except one, Mary Ann's. Mary Ann telephoned me with details of what occurred at the time of the homicides. No one, including other local agencies or the media had the information that Mary Ann was giving me. We were very close to the vest you could say with information pertaining to these homicides. Within a week Mary Ann gave me information on where the suspect would dump his vehicle. The following week the vehicle was found a few miles from the location that Mary Ann had given me. There are also other details that Mary Ann spoke of that I really can’t speak of because the investigation is still ongoing.
Trust me when I say that she is right on the mark with her information. Her accuracy is actually spooky. I also worked another homicide where Mary Ann gave me the names of two people who had information about the case. I told Mary Ann that there was no one with these names involved in this particular case. Within three days of interviews the names Mary Ann had given me had come up. These people were later found and did, in fact, have information. Unfortunately, most law enforcement agencies don’t want to use mediums such as Mary Ann……It’s their loss." -T.J.
