Dave Holloway Forges On in Search of Natalee Holloway … A Father’s Determination

As we have learned in so many missing person cases, parents never quit. Their determination for answers to finding their missing loved ones endures. As we have seen in the case of the Holloway’s/Twitty’s, Kesse’s, Smith’s … It is to reason that a families love for their child never ends, so why would their pursuit for answers?

The family name’s change, but the drive to find clues, leads and answers do not. No parent would ever give up hope or the search. Such is the case of Dave Holloway and is unending search to find his daughter, Natalee Holloway.

After the fundraisers ended, after many of the yard signs have been pulled up, after the cable networks have stopped calling for interviews, there remains a father looking for his daughter.

“Some days you think you’re going to finally break the case, and some days you wonder, are we ever going to find out?” said Holloway.

That is still Dave Holloway’s story, a year and a half after his 18-year- old daughter went missing during her senior class trip to Aruba.

The spotlight provided by the MSM may have dimmed; however, that does not mean that searches, leads and investigations cease. The MSM may have gone away; however, in the year 2006 families of missing persons have the benefit of alternative ways to maintain focus and the story. The internet, blogs, web sites and forums provide that alternative to the MSM. When a story falls off the MSM radar, there is still a vehicle. The people who care, the web sleuths who investigate and those that discuss the case, leads and potential evidence and witnesses never abandon families of missing persons. They are there for the long haul for families to get answers.

“I just hope they’re going to be able to find some answers,” Holloway said.

And the searches continue. Two months ago, Natalee’s family sent a cadaver dog to search an Aruban golf course. Just last week, a team searched some government property on the island.

“You get tips or leads or someone says you need to search here, and you cannot just let it pass by,” he said. (WTOK)

The Estate of Melinda Duckett Sues Nancy Grace for Wrongful Death

The attorneys that represent the Estate of Melinda Duckett filed a wrongful death law suit against Nancy Grace, CNN and her producers. Melinda Duckett committed suicide the day after a harsh exchange during an interview with TV cable host Nancy Grace.

Attorney Jay Paul Deratany states that Nancy Grace encouraged Melinda Duckett to come on her show to draw attention to the case. Two thing is for certain:

• 1) Shock and today’s ambush journalism in a ratings at all cost has hindered the focus of the disappearance of Trenton Duckett.
• 2) Now that police are stating that Trenton Duckett may still be alive, the case would have been much easier to have dealt with if Melinda Duckett was still alive.

Please note that Jay Paul Deratany, attorney representing the Estate of Melinda Duckett will be a guest of Dana Pretzer on Scared Monkey’s radio Friday, November 24 at 9:00 EDT.

6 Muslim Imams Removed from US Airways flight at Minneapolis – St Paul International Airport

Here is a sure fire way of getting escorted off a plane in a post 9-11 world, stand up and start praying to Allah.   The six Muslim scholars returning from a conference in Minneapolis of the North American Imams Federation were removed from US Airways Flight 300 bound to Phoenix. Passengers on the flight raised concerns with the flight crew when the 3 of the Imams stood up on the plane and said their normal evening prayers. And we are supposed to take your word for this? Standard custom getting on to a plane is to find your seat and fasten your seat belt. Sorry if that does not conform with you. However, who flew airplanes into the Twin Towers, The Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania?

“They took us off the plane, humiliated us in a very disrespectful way,” said Omar Shahin, of Phoenix. The six Muslim scholars were returning from a conference in Minneapolis of the North American Imams Federation, said Shahin, president of the group. Five of them were from the Phoenix-Tempe area, while one was from Bakersfield, Calif., he said. Three of them stood and said their normal evening prayers together on the plane, as 1.7 billion Muslims around the world do every day, Shahin said. He attributed any concerns by passengers or crew to ignorance about Islam.
