Natalee Holloway and friends in Aruba 5/30/05
I don't understand the aversion to 'step-father' either. Like you, my parents divorced when I was 15. We still saw my father almost every week. My step-dad is a wonderful, and caring man. I would never denigrate his marriage to my mother by refering to him merely as the man my mother married. We asked him how he wanted to be addressed and and he had no problems with step and or by his given name. He specifically stated he did NOT want us calling him Dad, Father or anything of that nature, since that was a title for our natural Father who was still a large part of our lives. He didn't want to usurp that position.
Not only is he caring and loving, but he's SMART, too!
The gardner was hot and did not have a/c in his home so he decided to go to someone else's home at 2:30 a.m. who did have a/c.
Thanks. The Natalee Holloway fund has a lot of money.
A fund is just an accounting and legal entity. The money must have come from some big donor. The increase is quite sizeable. Someone must have donated the money and the money placed in a fund at the direction of the donor.
Satish, waiting for Deepak to get out of work.??
What do you think of the gardener's story, at least as it has been reported?
Why would this employer keep such information from the police, but shout it out in a domino game? This is very strange behavior.

Are you off your rocker? My stepchildren have a loving and devoted mother. But that doesn't take away the fact that they lived with me from the time they were 13 until they went to college. I'm considered 'nother mother.
Your post is just an astoundingingly ignorant post.
Chauncey Gardner?
Great movie.
Didn't know that. Thanks.
:)
Yes, it was. (I couldn't resist.)
Susan Candiotti: The Arubans are accepting help. A contingent group of people armed with materials, deposition, witness statements, etc. asking for suggestions.
Dave Holloway: Has seen the letter from Aruba's AG requesting that documents be given to the FBI. Nancy points out that on the letter Natalee's name is spelled incorrectly. Dave admits that when he read the letter he did not notice the misspelling of Nancy's name.
Dave Holloway states that they had an anonymous donor to come forth so they were able to up the reward.
Dave states that as a father and a parent he holds on to hope that Natalee is still alive, they have heard the rumors of Natalee possibly being in Venezuela but the ALE always comes back and informs them that this is a murder case.
Dave Holloway states that they had an anonymous donor to come forth so they were able to up the reward.
If Dave were dead or deadbeat, then fine.....but he never was. You can't argue with my point unless you first got it.
You've got to wonder who put up the million.
Texas volunteers to return to Aruba
http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/
ORANJESTAD — Volunteers with a search group from Texas plan to return to Aruba with high-tech equipment as they help look for a missing Alabama teen. Members of Dickinson-based Texas Equusearch will dispatch three people to the Caribbean island on July 28 with groundpenetrating radar.
“We survive only on donations. We’ve never received a grant or large sponsorship from any large corporation. Volunteering instead of taking a vacation is always a help and offering specialized services is very valuable,” stated Tim Miller during a live interview yesterday with Tom and Red of Scared Monkeys which has over 35,000 visitors a day visiting at http://www.scaredmonkeys.com.
“We found a site that we feel as though was a possible gravesite. Our thoughts are that Natalee may have been buried in that hole for 1 or 2 days then moved. We have information that the cell phones were possibly being used in that area. Joran stated that something went wrong and they buried Natalee in the sand which we feel the spot we found is possibly it. The duct tape and hair was found 3/4 of a mile from where the possible gravesite was. With the information of her being buried, possible cell phone usage, discovery of possible gravesite, and duct tape with hair lead me to believe that Natalee was dumped in the sea in that area. We are anxiously awaiting the results of the hair samples which have been sent to the FBI lab and also the lab in the Netherlands,” concluded Miller.
Ruben Croes of the Aruba Search and Rescue Foundation, together with other team members stated that the shallow hole where the Equusearch team was surveying was not deep enough to be a human grave. “Because of the hardness of the ground and roots were still intact, this was an unlikely grave site, but possibly a place where drugs may have been hidden and then latter retrieved,” stated Croes. He also suggested that if a body had been thrown into the waters of Boca Tortuga, the body would come straight back to the shore. “We don’t have shark infested waters around Aruba, but if there was a shark attack, again evidence would be noticeable along the shoreline, everything comes back to the shore on the North Coast,” stated Croes.
