RSSTerri Schiavo, One Year Anniversary. God Bless Your Soul
One year later after the death of Terri Schiavo we look back in retrospect on the 
events and what has happened since.
State Legislatures Haven’t Protected Patients Since Terri Schiavo Died
Laws reshaping end-of-life policy were floated in two dozen states but only Louisiana passed any kind of law — and the final result was severely watered down compared to the initial proposal.
Take a look at Blogs For Terri about recent events, stories and The Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation, Inc. .
The Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation, Inc., (TSSF) is a non-profit group dedicated to ensuring the rights of disabled, elderly and vulnerable citizens against care rationing, euthanasia and medical killing.
A look back to what was going on a year ago and the battle that raged for Terri Schiavo.

Diario: Holloway case in “OPSPORING VERZOCHT” program in Holland
Diario; March 30, 2006: CASO HOLLOWAY DEN PROGRAMA “OPSPORING VERZOCHT” NA HULANDA
As previously stated, why would the Prosecutors office put out a press release regarding a show designed to gain tips and information ten months into an investigation? Also, after Dompig had stated that the investigation was in its “critical last phase.” With all the international media attention that has been given to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, why wasn’t such a show done at the outset that would have reached out to the Dutch and Arubans?

ORANJESTAD (AAN): Yesterday, the ‘Zoek en Vind Team’ was in the area of the lighthouse where they searched in the dunes with dogs of the K.O.P.D.
Among others were a few experts who came to Aruba and who are also helping in the search.

Dutch TV version of America’s Most Wanted; Opsporing Verzocht to Re-enact Natalee’s Disappearance
The Dutch TV program, Opsporing Verzocht, which translates as Arrest Requested will be taming up with the ALE and Dompig to re-enact the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The purpose of the program, to gain new tips and leads. 
The program, to air on April 11 in Aruba and the Netherlands, will re-enact Holloway’s known final hours on the Dutch Caribbean island and offer a toll-free hot line for people to call with tips, the Aruba Public Prosecutor’s Office said.
Investigators believe there are people on the island who have important information about the case but have not yet come forward, the prosecutor’s office said. (Sun Sentinel)
A couple questions come to mind as this TV program goes to the airwaves in about two weeks.
- Ten months go by and something like this was not done sooner?
- Gerold Dompig mentioned in his 48 Hours interview that the the investigation was in its “critical last phase”. A TV show to generate tips is hardly a last phase.
- What information and evidence must the ALE and Prosecutors office have if they have to combine efforts to do a show like this?
- Exactly what are they going to recreate? What version of events from what suspect?
South Carolina Proposed Bill; Execute Two Time Child Molesters
You read the title correctly. While some states in the news lately like Vermont and Ohio have been lax on sex offenders. Some states look to put an end to it once and for all.
South Carolina has an answer to that illness that will cure it permanently. In a backlash to the recent “Dungeon rapes” by sex offender Kenneth Glenn Hinson, the SC attorney general backs a proposal that will execute twice convicted child molesters.

Gerold Dompig: The dog and pony show continues in Aruba
And now for our next attraction …
The dog and pony show put on by ALE ranks up there with Barnum and Bailey’s
Greatest Show On Earth. The newest less-than-timely act is the KLPD trained dogs bit.
Jet fighter planes in the sky were thrilling also. (Vanderbilt – ‘06)
After three months since a credible tip came in the dunes will be searched. After turning down help from the FBI for dogs and radar equipment Dompig now has some of the help in place. After turning down free help months ago from Texas EquuSearch Dompig is ready to search.
So why the delay? The reason for the delay cannot be because there is a lot of sand to search. That excuse does not work when the equipment is not even in Aruba to conduct a search. It is used after the help has arrived and to explain why a search being conducted has not yet been finished.
What will be the next attraction in this three ring circus?
