RSSForensic Divers and Texas Equusearch Continue Searches for Natalee Holloway
From Rita Cosby, ‘Live and Direct’, October 26, 2005
As posted last week regarding Tim Miller of Equusearch, forensic dive teams were coming back to Aruba in search of Natalee Holloway. As Dave Holloway had previously said in an interview on the Abrams Report regarding the investigation and searches in Aruba:
Dave: Yes, for the first time we have gotten some guidance on what areas to focus our search efforts on.
Abrams: Where is that coming from?
Dave: That’s coming from Chief Dompig himself.
More from the forensic dive team in Aruba and Dr. Dale Nute, forensic scientist with Florida State University.
COSBY: Forensic divers are back on the case in Aruba today. They’re beginning the latest round of underwater searches for missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway. With some help from EquuSearch, divers today focus on the waters just off the lighthouse.
On the phone tonight from Aruba is Dr. Dale Nute. He’s a forensic scientist with Florida State University. Dr. Nute, why the lighthouse?
DR. DALE NUTE, FORENSIC SCIENTIST (via phone): Well that’s where EquuSearch got the information that the—maybe at least some evidence in that area, so…
COSBY: What kind of evidence, sir?
NUTE: Well, we’re obviously looking for the body. We’re—that’s the main thing, but we’re looking for any other evidence that we might be associated with it.
COSBY: Where does that evidence come from and how sort of solid of a tip is that?
NUTE: I don’t really know. We are primarily subcontracted in effect by Texas EquuSearch and they do the intelligence work and we do the searching.

Miers Nomination is Quashed
In a surprise to none, Harriet Miers has withdrawn her name from consideration for the Supreme Court. The official reason is that Bush wants to protect the sanctity of protected communication in the White House, the real reason is that her nomination was going down to a certain defeat.
“It is clear that senators would not be satisfied until they gained access to internal documents concerning advice provided during her tenure at the White House — disclosures that would undermine a president’s ability to receive candid counsel,” Bush said. “Harriet Miers’ decision demonstrates her deep respect for this essential aspect of the constitutional separation of powers — and confirms my deep respect and admiration for her.”
Some Bloggers Talking about it.
Diario: Natalee Holloway investigation remains focused on the original suspects, according to commissioner Dompig
From Diario October 26, 2005; INVESTIGACION DEN CASO NATALEE HOLLOWAY, TA SIGUI ENFOCA RIBA E SOSPECHOSONAN ORIGINAL, esaki segun Comisario Dompig
In the Diario article Dompig states that “he found it regrettable that the judge let the suspects go, because the police force saw it differently. They thought that they had enough proof for them to remain in detention still.”
Dompig further went on to say, “he continued to say that he has to live with the judge’s decision, but this doesn’t take away from the fact that the investigation continues, and that the focus remains on these suspects because they are not off the hook yet.”
English translated article:
ORANJESTAD (AAN): During an interview, DIARIO asked Dompig if the investigation on the case of Natalee Holloway remains in the direction of the original suspects, Joran van der Sloot, Satish Kalpoe and Deepak Kalpoe.
The commissioner explains that it is true that that is the case, because everything shows that they have to know more, given that Natalee went with them in the car. However, this does not exclude other suspects in this case.
DIARIO asked Dompig how the story turned out where one or more of the suspects said during an interrogation that Natalee was perhaps killed.
According to the commissioner it turned out that they don’t know anything of this, and that they only know that they left her on the beach.
He continues to say that it is important to verify their version, where he explains that they have to prove that they went in front of Joran van der Sloot’s house, so people in the community think that they have seen the gray Honda Civic around 1:40 am.
If there are people who saw the car parked at the house at that time, it is very important that they get in touch with police.
DIARIO asked the commissioner about the verbal declarations made to police, where one of the suspects declared that he believes that one of the other suspects killed Natalee and if something is being done with this.
