Texas Equusearch and Dive Teams to Return To Aruba To search for Natalee Holloway

According to Dave Holloway on Greta Van Susteren, October 20, 2005: On The Record, Texas Equusearch and dive teams will return to Aruba to search for Natalee Holloway. Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch and Dave Holloway are presently in Aruba meeting with investigators, doing some minor searches and planning for more comprehensive ones for the near future.

Dave: Tim Miller and I searched some inland areas. We did have a group offshore operating an underwater camera from Ocean Systems, Inc. Tim and I later today started preparing today for a more intensive search starting Saturday.

TES plans to bring back to Aruba two teams with side scan sonar and ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle ), along with six members of an underwater forensic dive team. This will most likely be the Florida State forensic dive team that has previously been in Aruba performing water searches for Natalee Holloway.

Dave: Yes, it is a possibility. We met with the chief deputy yesterday and for the very first time; authorities have directed us to specific search areas. What we are planning to do is bring in two teams with side scan sonar and ROV. Along with six members of an underwater forensic dive team. Those will start arriving Saturday and Monday.

In a statement from Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch obtained by Scared Monkeys, Tim Miller stated:

Texas Equusearch is bringing in side scan sonar from two different organizations along with a forensic dive team. “We remain optimistic that we can bring Natalee home and bring closure to this case.”

It would appear that Dave Holloway and Tim Miller are not returning to the United States as originally planned due to the changing circumstances. They will be returning next week. However, this means that Dave Holloway today will be in Aruba searching for his daughter Natalee Holloway on her 19th birthday, October 21, 2005. Say a prayer for Dave and the rest of the family and a birthday wish to Natalee Holloway. No father ever needs to be doing what Dave Holloway is on their daughter’s birthday or ever. God bless.

Greta: I know that today you were part of a search. Where did you search?

Dave: Tim Miller and I searched some inland areas. We did have a group offshore operating an underwater camera from Ocean Systems, Inc. Tim and I later today started preparing today for a more intensive search starting Saturday.

Greta: Let me delicately ask this question Dave. It has been since May 30th
Do you really think there could be some clues possibly preserved in the sea at this late date?

Dave: Yes, it is a possibility. We met with the chief deputy yesterday and for the very first time; authorities have directed us to specific search areas. What we are planning to do is bring in two teams with side scan sonar and ROV. Along with six members of an underwater forensic dive team. Those will start arriving Saturday and Monday.

Greta: With the action of the action of the waves and movement of the sea, maybe I don’t understand searching in water at this late date. Maybe you can help me out.
Wouldn’t the action of the waves move things so that the things you are looking for just won’t be there anymore?

Dave: Well, there is a possibility that may happen. From the information from the police dept based on what they have given us, there is a possibility it may be stationary.
