The Island is 6 to 7 miles deep by about 20 miles long
B-1 = California Lighthouse - where the boys claim they took her first after leaving the Bar.
D-3 = #4 is the location of the 2 Marriott Hotels - where the 2 brothers (and now Joran) claim they dropped Joran and Natalee off after leaving the lighthouse - the 2 brothers claim they went home to Hooiberg after that.
D-3 = #19 is the location of the Holiday Inn where Natalee was staying.
G-5 = Where the red #2 marker is pointing to is the area that the Carlos & Charlie Bar is located

Police is investigating the cause behind the dead of the man Rene van Heyningen whose body was found behind the Government cemetery at Sabana Basora. It was mrs. Y.C.H., 29 years old, who arrived home at Sabana Basora around 7:30 a.m. Saturday to find the house in a total mess and with signs of violence, including traces of blood. At observing the scene police said that the injured person could not be alive. The man that should have been at that house could not be found anywhere, and his grey pick-up truck was not there either. Immediately alarm was sounded. Police agents who arrived at the scene started a thorough search of the area and moments later discover the pick-up truck behind the Government cemetery in Sabana Basor. The beheaded body of Rene van Heyningen, who worked at the refinery, was found in the bushes not far from the vehicle. Rene van Heyningen was born on Janaury 12, 1973 and resided at van Lennepstraat 17 in San Nicolas. So far, no detention has taken place in this case. According to the police, the house owner was heard as a possible witness. We extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved family.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — A volunteer group from Texas said Tuesday it will bring special dogs and sonar equipment to Aruba to help search for teenager Natalee Holloway, who has been missing for three weeks on the resort island.
A team of 17 volunteers, including three divers, from Texas EquuSearch will arrive Wednesday to look for 18-year-old from Mountain Brook, Ala.
She disappeared on May 30, the last day of a five-day vacation with 124 students celebrating their high school graduation. Her passport and packed bags were found in her room.
Four men have been arrested on suspicion but no one has been charged.
The volunteers will stay five to seven days, said Joe Huston of Texas EquuSearch in a telephone interview from Dickinson, Texas.
He said Holloway's uncle, Paul Reynolds, asked for the group's help because three weeks of searches had turned up nothing.
Upon arrival, the team planned to meet with Aruban authorities and FBI officials to review past search routes and plot new areas, Huston said.
Aruban authorities accompanied by FBI observers have scoured the island on foot, in vehicles and using a helicopter with infrared equipment at night. Tourists and Aruban civilian volunteers also have helped, but none has turned up any trace of Holloway.
Aruban government spokesman Ruben Trapenberg said authorities welcomed the Texas group's help.
"In the end, they are just going to be tourists searching and that's OK," Trapenberg said. "And they have specialized equipment, so that's even better."
Indeed he did.
Natalee Holloway a wòrdu asesiná ?
Latest developments in Aruba: Hasibokos.com has received information that on Tuesday afternoon, Joran van der Sloot was transferred from the jail facility at Noord to the local prison, KIA.. It is part of the normal procedure to transfer detainees who have been detained for more than 10 days to prison. We learned that the brothers Kalpoe have already been transferred to KIA.
UPDATE 31:The media in Aruba today is mostly reporting that the detention of Steve Croes has been prolonged. He’ll be detained for at least 8 more days. The picture is from the front page of AweMeinta and was taken while Croes, who had his face covered with his shirt, was being escorted into the court house. The local media is also reporting that the mother of Natalee Holloway, Beth, hired a local attorney to look into the case and that she hired an American organization, Texas EquuSearch, to help look for Natalee. According to FoxNews Beth Holloway is contemplating suing the Aruban government (the justice department in particular), but the local media of Aruba is not going as far a saying that nor is the Dutch media. The media in The Netherlands is also reporting that Beth wants to get insight in the case (documents) an that she hired an attorney to help her with this. They are not reporting that Beth wants to sue. Hasibokos.com has also learned that some political parties in Aruba, just as Beth Holloway, are criticizing their justice department. Earlier we informed you about the criticism that prime minister has been getting (Update29 ). On Monday local political party OLA gave a press conference during which they informed that they have compiled a document which contains a summary of the many mistakes that, in their opinion, have been made by the justice department during the treatment/investigation of the Holloway case. Many local are questioning the timing of this public criticism as the justice department of Aruba is already under a lot of pressure. The general opinion of the Aruban community is that this is not the time to be criticizing the justice department as there is too much attention right now on the Holloway case and this may lead to the broad (mis)conception that the Aruban justice system is flawed. (FYI: Prolonga = Prolonged)
How much of this train wreck is the result of our media's focus on diversity and multi-culturalism such that we'd sit back and watch cronyism take place right before our eyes while some island-resort judge is allowed to protect his son from a murder charge while the rest of are being told only that "their system is different from ours?"
What's preventing the media from calling Arubans out on their inept police department and sloppy protectionism of their own? Fears of being called anti-multi-culturalist?

The nagging questions won't go away for the Alabama teenagers who accompanied Natalee Holloway on her ill-fated graduation trip to Aruba.
What happened to bright, blonde Natalee that night she left Carlos'N Charlies', a popular island bar, with a Dutch teen? Where is she? And, perhaps most haunting: Is there something they could have done differently?
Outwardly upbeat yet plainly troubled since their senior trip became an international media event, friends and former classmates from Mountain Brook High School gathered Tuesday for a cookout to raise money for Holloway's relatives, who have been in Aruba for three weeks looking for her.
In between starting the charcoal grill and passing out food, they talked about the frustrations of not knowing what happened to the 18-year-old honor student everybody called "Hooty" or "Nat."
Beau Barron, 18, said he and other classmates who went on the trip didn't know what to think when Holloway failed to show up for the flight home to Alabama on May 30. "Initially it was just disbelief," said Barron.
As the days turned into weeks following her disappearance, most everyone who was on the trip wondered whether they could have done more to make sure Holloway got back to their hotel safely, he said.
"(But) that's something you don't need to dwell on because you can't turn back time," said Barron.
Madison Whatley, one of Holloway's three roommates during the trip, is a regular at prayer vigils that have been held at Mountain Brook Community Church since the group got home. She also wears a baby blue rubber bracelet that says "Hope for Natalee."
"It's frustrating, but it helps to come to the prayer service," Whatley said.
Many of the teens wonder the most about Joran van der Sloot, 17, the son of a Dutch justice official in Aruba. He is being held along with three others in Holloway's disappearance and reportedly told authorities he left the bar that night with Holloway.
Holloway's friends saw van der Sloot both in the casino at the hotel where they were staying and at Carlos'N Charlies', and a friend of Holloway said van der Sloot - a tall, broad-shouldered athlete - got into a scuffle with some of the Mountain Brook guys at the bar.
"I broke it up," said Bryan Reynolds, 18. "It was outside the Carlos'N Charlies' the second night we were there."
Reynolds didn't elaborate, and Barron said people who went on the trip aren't publicly discussing details of what happened in Aruba at the request of Holloway's family, which fears the publicity could hamper the investigation.
The media glare itself has been a shock in itself for the kids from Mountain Brook, a wealthy, cloistered Birmingham suburb that is home to many of the state's most prominent doctors, lawyers and business leaders.
"I was talking with a friend last night about how I was so amazed that it's gotten so big and is all over the nation," said Sarah Burton, 18.
Despite all the unanswered questions, Holloway's family is taking strength from her friends.
"These kids are hopeful. We all are hopeful," said aunt Marcia Twitty.
Well now THAT is a mental picture and a half.... LOL..
Now to clean my monitor....
at least someone got it!
Ok... I will behave now. (It has been a slow newsday and I wish Greta was on right now.)
