The cement block could be a boat mooring. That sounds like a logical explanation to me, since lots of boats are sporadically moored in this area of the harbor. But the divers say the cement block has nearly no marine growth, indicating that it is brand new. And it has no hooks to moor a boat. I think maybe it just flipped over when it was dropped into the sea and the hooks are on the underside.

I don't think this is a boat mooring with the hooks on the underside. No no no, that's not now it is done.

This is why. My husband, son and I made our own 800 lb cement mooring and placed it in Tomales Bay, CA for our sailboat. Before we hauled it over there to drop in the water, we imbeded into the wet cement a part of a big old bridge turnbuckle for the eye, then hooked the swivel shackle to the eye, then hooked on 75 feet of heavy chain, then another swivel shackle and then attached the mooring rope, with float attached to that.

You do not drop a concrete mooring block in deep water with no tackle attached to it, and then start worrying about how you are going to attach all the necessary tackle. You never want to let go of the bitter end of a mooring rope or chain. It's called the bitter end for a reason.

If a mooring block lands upside down, you just wench up on the mooring chain until it turns upright.

This cement block is not a upside down mooring block.

Didn't someone post that PVDS poured cement in his backyard after Natalee disappeared? Is this the Aruban version of the "cement overshoes of the mafia"? Is this the explanation of PVDS's comment, "No body - no case".

I am a certified diver in two disiplines, PADI and SSI. I agree with you Shebacal that the mooring they found is at the very least suspicous. However, I would have dumped a body in more than 40 feet of water.



God Bless our sweet Natalee.

Yes Sheba the VDS's poured NEW cement in their back yard within that first TEN days. And why would Paul VDS "go crazy" at Tim Miller just for wanting to look through the cement? That stinks. Also he asked to search the abandoned well on the property. IF the VDS's were so concerned about getting the heat off them and they had nothing to hide, WHY wouldn't they have consented to a search warrant or just a plain search right away? NOPE, this family never even once offered to even help in a search for Natalee. They have done nothing but interfere and hide.
