RSSDompig Says No To Texas EquuSearch’s Plan to Search Dunes
According to sources Texas EquuSearch has been trying to get permission to search
the area of the sand dunes prior to any costly deep water search. Tim Miller and Texas EquuSearch a long with Tim Whittaker have already been given Aruba’s blessing to conduct a search of the water. However, one would assume that searches would be done of the sand dunes first where there was supposed information from a credible witness.
A search of the water is much more costly and common sense would say that since there was a lead to search the dunes, they should be done first. Originally the FBI was going to help search them with radar equipment and cadaver dogs. However, that ended when Aruba would not divulged where the tip came from.
According to sources, Tim Miller has offered to search the dunes bringing in their own highly sophisticated ground penetration units at no cost to the Aruban people or government. Aruba has cited in the past that much of its budget has gone toward the Natalee Holloway investigation.
“The Arubans assured us the case is going forward with 14 investigators presently assigned. They also advised us that 40 percent of their annual law enforcement budget has been spent on this case.
There was a supposed credible witness with a tip to search the sand dunes, TES is offering to get the job done immediately and either find Natalee or rule out the area and do the search of the water if still necessary. All at no cost to Aruba. Sources say, their offer denied.
Why? With the Aruban PR nightmare that is the Natalee Holloway investigation, who turns down free help and the appearance of the US and Aruba working together for a common goal? Especially when there is a credible lead.

Joran Van Der Sloot going “On The Record.” Keep talking Joran, keep talking…
Greta Van Susteren gets an unedited interview with Joran Van Der Sloot. Joran is becoming the gift that keeps on giving. 
We just got back from a very quick trip to Aruba. We got word late last week (Friday?) that Joran van der Sloot would sit down for an interview with us in Aruba.
The one agreement: that we wouldn’t edit it.
Joran also did not want to do the interview in the United States, so we agreed on Aruba
Greta doing an interview with Joran like a deposition, this might be interesting. Greta, who has been at this case from the outset questioning Joran, Greta being a lawyer to boot. This is a must see. What defies logic is the fact that Joran Van der Sloot when doing the ABC interview did not listen to his parents advice. They asked Joran not to do the interview and he did not listen. With respect to the Greta interview, “Joran said he did not want his parents in the room.” Instead he wanted his teacher who made a most peculiar comment and request of Greta. Strange indeed.

Beth Twitty Reacts to Joran interview from Abrams Report
From ‘The Abrams Report’ for February 24, 2006, Beth Twitty reacts to Joran Van der Sloot claiming tho be the victim. Beth brings up an interesting point although Joran will never do it and that’s if he can come to the US for a TV interview, then why not answer some questions from John Q. Kelly under oath?
The rest of the interview:
ABRAMS: So what do you make of this interview that Joran did, now you’ve gotten a chance to hear it, what’s your reaction?
TWITTY: Well you know I think my reaction is, you know as usual, Dan, Joran places all the blame on Natalee, all the initiation of any of the activities where they went that night, you know how she behaved that night. You know it just seems to be going right along with Joran’s M.O. of always placing every built of responsibility on Natalee and it’s just—it’s so difficult for him—for me to sit here and let him do that.
ABRAMS: Yes. He talked about when they met at the bar and here’s what he said about what actually led them to start really talking.

Anna Nicole Smith Goes To Washington (U.S. Supreme Court)
In what can only be deemed as a sign of the Apocalypse, Anna Nicole Smith, takes
her traveling road show to Washington, DC and the US Supreme Court. The battle; who is more greedy and will win the lottery and get J. Howard Marshall II’s fortune. On one side we have former Playboy Playmate of the Year, Anna Nicole Smith. On the other side we have the 67 year old son E. Pierce Marshall.
Anna Nicole Smith went to work in a Houston strip club and wound up as the trophy wife of an aging multimillionaire, setting up an 11-year-long legal war over his estate that now has traveled all the way to the highest court in the land.
The lottery that we speak of is the estate of E. Pierce Marshall that was estimated at as much as $1.6 billion in 2000. Just a reminder to how this fairy tale romance began, Smith and Marshall married in 1994 in Houston. Anna Nicole, the bride was 26; the groom was 89. J. Howard Marshall II died just 14 months later. Who could have see that coming?
After all the bickering and arguments and court appearances over the past 11 years, it has finally made its way to the US Supreme Court. Anna Nicole Smith in the SCOTUS. Who would ever have placed that bet in Vegas in 1991 when Anna was working at Rick’s Cabaret, an upscale strip club?
The Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday focused solely on the narrow question of whether federal courts can decide cases involving state probate proceedings. The Bush administration has filed briefs favoring federal court jurisdiction.
This should be interesting.

More Natalee Holloway case Analysis; “van der Sloot’s position can be summed in two words. Prove it.”
Sometimes just because one cannot prove a crime does not mean authorities do not pretty much know who was responsible and the main suspects. Thus follows the analysis of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.
I guess you could say the Aruban authorities, together with Natalee’s loved ones, too, have a hunch.
They may not know how, why or what happened to Natalee Holloway, but to them, one thing is certain: Joran van der Sloot does know.
But van der Sloot’s position can be summed in two words. Prove it.
The problem with perception of this investigation is not that there was no evidence to link the crime to the three main suspects, Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. The problem is that the investigation was so botched from the beginning to the point where it looks like to many that investigators gave preferential treatment and just looked the other way.
Further thought goes into Joran doing the ABC Prime Time interview, which across the board all believe was a colossal mistake.
Why did Joran talk - when it was so risky to do so? I think there are two possibilities.
One is that he’s guilty, but confident that Natalee’s body will never be found - because he hid it well, and because despite many searches, it hasn’t been found so far.
The other is that Joran is just as innocent as he professes - and that he did indeed leave Natalee alone on the beach where she, perhaps, fell prey to a stranger’s opportunistic rape, a crime that ended in murder. Perhaps the real culprit was someone with a boat; perhaps Natalee’s body was cast into the sea, much too far out to wash up on the shore.

Actor Darren McGavin Dies at 83, RIP.
Darren McGavin passed away at the age of 83 from natural causes on Saturday. 
We truly have lost a great guy who has brought so much to the TV and movie industry and enjoyment to all of us over the years. His career was was endless stratching from the 1940’s to the present. BIO.
These day Darren McGavin was best known as Ralphie’s dad on the 1983 Christmas Classic, “A Christmas Story.” A continual 24 hours of this tale on Christmas Eve brought McGavin into our homes on the holidays as Mr. Parker (Ralphie’s dad) was just priceless.
He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master.
Some other lines from Darren McGavin that will make us smile and think about him forever: 
He looks like a deranged Easter Bunny, He does too, he looks like a pink nightmare!
[after Mother “accidentally” breaks the Old Man’s leg lamp] Why did you touch that? You were always jealous of this lamp.
However, I will always remember Darren McGaven for one of the greatest TV shows of all time, Kolchak: The Night Stalker. In the 1970’s this show had no equal and kept you on the edge of your chair. The Night Stalker was a show way before its 
time.
The concept of The Night Stalker series is of reporter Carl Kolchak, working for the Independent News Service in Chicago, encountering the unnatural. Each week he dealt with a supernatural (whether mystical, scientific, or alien) threat.
Slide show of Darren McGavin
The passing of Darren McGavin really does hit home as losing one of those pieces of your childhood. To the family of Darren McGavin, our condolences. To Mr. McGavin, thanks for all the memories.
He is survived by his four children — York, Megan, Bridget and Bogart — from a previous marriage to Melanie York McGavin, Bogart McGavin said. McGavin was separated from his second wife, Kathy Brown, he said. Services were set for March 5 at Hollywood Forever Cemetery
