#78 - Exactly. And on top of the fact that the Holloway Twitty's have PAID for ALL the special search teams to come in with equipment all along, plus, as you say, Investigators etc., when ALE is OFFERED ground penetrating equipment to use FREE, all they can do is say "We'll get back to you"!! WHY? because they don't want the family to find the body. If Natalee is not in the VDS well, or the crab trap in the ocean (if that's a valid lead) or the sand dunes, then imo they have HAD possession of her body all along. That could certainly explain why they can confidently say, no body, no case. No forensic evidence, no evidence that she's actually dead blah, blah blah. Although we all recall that in the very beginning there was mention of her being dead, then that was quickly withdrawn, then the confession, then quickly withdrawn,. It's been a gong show since day one. ALE have done a good job of trying to PREVENT an investigation while the family has paid through the nose for everything that has been done.
Well said, CO, pithy and concise.
