TxMom,

Oh, I am just so sure Aruba is thrilled about the new Natalee movie.


 ::MonkeyHaHa:: ::MonkeyNoNo:: ::MonkeyHaHa::

Something happened in court in Aruba today, I think some kind of dispute that got out of hand and the polis were called.  That looks like Michael Williams in the middle of the  picture to me.

Klass..I'll hang out 4 Caylee's lock. If it gets too late, I'll give you a shout  ::MonkeyHaHa::

Nut thank you for responding about the donations solicitation post, I appreciate it. Jen thanks for your info as well !

KTF are you always so energetic?  ::MonkeyDance:: It's part of your charm !

I have another question, I thought I might have remembered LifeSong as having posted about having made a donation for the Persistence search? I could be wrong regarding who posted that but my question was whether anyone here who did make a donation, ever received a confirmation of receipt via email or snail mail?

TIA once again !

It's good to see so many of you  ::MonkeyHaHa:: on this fresh new thread  ::MonkeyWink::

The outcome of the Persistence undertaking was doomed to be negative from the getgo if there was not a plan in place in regards to Aruban chain of custody protocol if something Natalee Holloway case related was discovered.  Logic dictates that an Aruban invitation should have been afforded to the FBI and secured in the preparation stages of such a huge undertaking.

Beth Holloway's brother says it best ...

KYLE KINGMAN - IN HIS OWN WORDS

Kyle Kingman: The FBI told me they could not send a representative down to us in Aruba unless they were specifically invited to do so by the Aruban authorities. They were simply uninvited.

Kyle Kingman:  The FBI said they needed an invitation. I brought it up to Mos and Richardson and they were talking as if it were a possibility along with a Dutch forensic team. Mos said it would take about 10-14 days to have a Dutch forensic team on site. Never heard another word about it.

don't believe that Kyle or anyone else is allowed to review the case documents, according to the policy of the prosecutors office. I thought the beauty of the Persistence is that they were to do a true grid seach mission which depends not on psychics or even tips from the authorities, and as such their work would be independent of the investigation. They were there simply to attempt to search a predefined area for Natalee's remains. So I am not sure why they have been lured into defending the work of the Aruban authorities or a discussion of the validity of the investigation as they are not knowledgeable as to the investigation, other than what they have been told by these Arubans. There are an awful lot of highly educated people who have been chumped by people of far less formal education. A well trained police force is not thwarted by a grieving mother and the media.

And Kyle, I by no means am being disrespectful, I think you are brilliant, sincerely. But I don't think your education or work experience has prepared you for a cover up by these types of people. And I think you may be severely underestimating the education, experience, and wisdom of the monkeys and other coverup believers. Don't let them make a fool of you. We need you.

If I understood Kyle correctly, and that would be that the Arubans retrieved and possessed all finds, not sharing anything with the crew, then that effort was a waste of time and effort. The only thing it could have accomplished was to locate additional evidence for the Arubans to destroy. I am not sure if that was the protocol out of Aruba's waters though. The effort was superb, but the game was fixed.

... But sharing information with people who work for people who are directly orchestrating the cover up, Rudy, or the Dutch, is the most irresponsible investigating I can imagine. What kills this investigation is people having to come into it, wanting to apply basic investigatory protocols into place, and then having those channels sabotage the new evidence that the new players discover. Of course, as is happened everytime in this case, the new people eventually come to a point where the manipulation of the evidence is undeniable, but by then the fruits of their work are gone, and there is simply another member of the believers of the cover up group. What I pray that Kyle and the crew of the Persistence will determine, is that regardless of how hard working the man that they are working with appears to work, his work belongs to Rudy, and Rudy belongs to the local dutch.

We are not hysterical, ignorant, paranoid people. We have seen the cover up in action, in broad daylight, with impunity, and if you disregard our warnings, you will become the next chump in a series of chumps, no matter how sophisticated your equipment, the level of your educational achievement, or the extent of your job skills and work history.

LOGIC DICTATES JANET..That must've been some good lasagna... ::MonkeyTongue::

Really thought!How can anyone uphold  The undertaking of the Persistence search after reading the words of Kyle kingman,as well as Beth Holloway's Brother.Are you gonna tell me Private Eye has got it wrong??Me personally.I DON"T THINK SO...... ::MonkeyWink::

That lasagna, buns and salad are gone.  Daughter's van broke down on the drive here from the Upper Fraser Valley.  Hubby is picking her and the kids up right now and driving them home.  Van has been towed away.  He took the dinner I had made along with him so ... nobody is going to go hungry.

I made myself a salmon sandwich and a cuppa tea.  Hubby can make himself whatever he wants when he comes home.  Maybe he will eat lasagna with daughter and kids.

What a day!!

Janet

oh KTF it's never in the way silly, it's pretty endearing actually !!

Janet thank you !! May I have some lasagna too? I am sure it's delicious !

Klaas - thank you ! I thought another address that wasn't TES had been posted, an address we couldn't trace a source to ?

 I've donated to TES before so thank you for your help !

Nice to know they're all safe! ::MonkeyCool::

See............Cheapo should have taken you all out to dinner! ::MonkeyLaugh::

Keepthefaith .. I am thankful.  It happened on the freeway but daughter was able to pull off to the emergency lane.  After she called for a tow truck ... a passing motorist stopped and piled all five of them into his vehicle and ... drove them to some establishment just off the next exit.  That is where Hubby is headed right now.

BTW ... seven year old grandaughter placed third out of 18 contestants in her category at  the interschool public speaking competition.  This little girl made my day even if she had not place.  She gave it her all.

Hey ... it is sure slow in the cage tonight ... at least on the Natalee Holloway forum.

I wish something would happen.

HotPing was on that!Thought we ended up believing it was to Schaefer but will await confirmation from HotPing!Thanx None.. ::MonkeyDance::

Local Teams Joins The Search For Natalee Holloway

The latest developments in the Natalie Holloway case find three men back behind bars, but still no Natalee. Local teams from Acadiana are now joining the search for the 18 year old that disappeared in May of 2005.

The name of this boat says it all. Persistence is what search teams are hoping will lead them to Natalee Holloway.

Project Manager Marc Broussard said, "We met the Holloway family and as parents ourselves we wanted to help out, give our all and give them the Cajun spirit to motivate them to go out there, to find this child and bring her home."

The one hundred and twenty five foot boat is usually used for off-shore mapping and navigation for oil companies. Now the boat will take on a different role. Once teams reach Aruba they'll scan the bottom of the ocean and map out any objects that seem out of place. What sensors pick up is all monitored in this survey room. Teams will then investigate the objects and send a robotic like device under water with cameras.

It will take the boat eight to ten days to reach Aruba. The search teams tell us if something's out there they plan to find it.  Natalee's father was aboard the boat before it set sail. We spoke with him about this trip.

Dave Holloway told us, "You try to get back to the normal way of doing things, but it stays on your mind and you stay focused on what can I do next to get closure in this. Hopefully this will be the way to do this."

The RV persistence is scheduled to depart from The Port of Iberia Tuesday evening. This search will be the first deep water search for Natalie. Teams from New Iberia, Lafayette, and Texas are all participating in the search.

The trip is funded through donations. If you'd like to support the search efforts you can send donations to:

Is there any financial or performance accountability  available upon request for those who contributed to the Persistence undertaking or ... as we suppose to truth anybody who says "trust me".

KYLE KINGMAN - IN HIS OWN WORDS

Kyle Kingman:  I couldn't get the logs from the Persistence. All things "Holloway" were stripped from the boat once it got back to Louisiana. I had some stuff on my hard drive, but not those logs with the names. The logs and other information are in an unknown secure location. Only two people know that location and I am not one of them. I know better not even to ask about it, especially now.

What would have been the most expensive part of the search,in terms of dollars??

I do not know the answer to Your question but......IMHO its all BS about being out of money They were there to survey (Silvetti Survey INC...maybe)  the ocean floor I believe finding the trap was an accident or it was prearranged with ALE that if They found anything ALE would get what they found and that is why Silvetti told Kyle to forget about the trap.... Its just to weird that the trap was found and suddenly they were out of money and packed up and came home

I do have a question.....Remember when the Persisitence left Aruba and got caught up in a storm or something and had to stop somewhere along the way back to Louisiana to wait out the storm.....Does anyone else remember this...if so....where was it that they stopped over to wait out the storm? TIA

If your in it for the right reason's,you should ABSOLUTELY have NO PROBLEM,opening up your books to ANYONE.....

I think it was on the trip down.  If you notice there is a long gap between the time they left Louisiana
and the time they arrived in Aruba.  There was a hurricaine in the Gulf and it lingered on.
I believe that they stopped in Jamaica for several days to wait out the storm or whatever.

Hubby just arrived home with two youngest grandkids (5/7) in tow.  I guess we are about to have company for the weekend.

OCEANEXPLORATION

Greetings,

Thank you all for your kind words, support, and prayers.  We're all bracing for the fall-out of the Dateline broadcast.  We'll provide an update soon.

KLAAS

Hi Kyle - I actually thought the broadcast was pretty well done.  I learned things I didn't know especially in the 2nd half of the broadcast.

What kind of fall-out do you think you'll see?

KEEPTHEFAITH

It is interesting to go back and read!Fall-out?Kyle knew what the fall-out would be at that point..

Hey ... Tim Miller had already announced to the world ... to Natalee Holloway father ... that the ROV images of December 29, 2007 revealed that Natalee Holloway's remains were in that trap.  Then Tim Trahan returns from the December 30, 2007 dive with one word "nothing".  Dateline viewing audience is left dangling.  Something does not compute.

Exactly! How in the Heck do these people lay their heads down and go to sleep each night...... ::MonkeyEek::

The "Dateline" broadcast along with the first ROV images had me pretty confident that Natalee had indeed been found. (I had no reason to doubt the Persistence -- I just figured our FBI was working behind the scenes). Now, I am just out and out ticked off!

Forgot to say "Good Evening Monkeys"! I got new carpet in my bedroom and office today -- that means re-connecting my computer, modem, 2 TV's, a stereo, and various other electronic devices -- what a pain!!!  ::MonkeyNoNo::  ::MonkeyWink::

Venezuela Delays Orinoco Bids by 2 Weeks     
  by  Nancy Agin      Rigzone      Thursday, March 05, 2009 


According to a report by Bloomberg, the Norwegian embassy in Caracas has confirmed that Venezuela will postpone a major offer of proved reserves to private companies by two or three weeks. The embassy noted that bids were scheduled to launch on April 16.

StatoilHydro, a major Norwegian player in the petroleum industry, will participate in the bidding round for the Carabobo area of the Orinoco Belt, one of the world's largest natural bitumen and heavy oil accumulations. The Carabobo area itself is estimated to hold 32 billion barrels of proved reserves.

(Click to Enlarge)
 
For the Carabobo Round, state-run Petroleos de Venezuela SA, or PDVSA, intends to establish three joint ventures with international companies and secure investments between $15 billion and $20 billion for each project, the Norwegian embassy said.

PDVSA  unveiled that oil majors BP and Chevron were among 19 companies that paid $2 million for bidding data packages, and that 47 companies were engaged in the auction that began on Oct. 30, Bloomberg reports.

In other news, Oil Minister and PDVSA President Rafael Ramirez, who was unavailable to comment on the bidding round's postponement, said in a statement this week that the company intends to reduce its spending on oil-service contractors by 40%.


This could prove to be interesting?LifeSong.When did Jim Mermis go down to Venezuela again?Wonder if he was bidding on a project?Maybe not this one but,a contract in general..
 
 

Here you go LifeSong!

At some point, after the persistence crew, led by John S as project manager...strike a deal with the devil (aruba), good things came to John S (company picking up a Netherlands  branch) and kyle's good fortune with his "big bucks" jobs through the Netherlands branch....
Somethings not right....

  Chavez Gives Foreign Companies in Orinoco Projects May 1 Ultimatum     
  BNamericas      Friday, February 02, 2007  


The foreign companies that partner Venezuelan state oil firm PDVSA in Orinoco upgrade projects have until May 1 to adapt their structures to new joint ventures in which PDVSA is to have at least 60%, President Hugo Chavez said on Thursday afternoon.
"I'm sure they will accept because we will continue to be partners, but if they do not agree, they are free to leave," Chavez said, according to state news agency ABN.

The president said a new ad hoc law may be necessary to regulate the new ventures, which currently produce some 600,000b/d of synthetic crude.
Chavez was granted special powers on Wednesday by the national assembly that allow him to rule by decree in matters he deems "strategic."

The four Orinoco projects are Ameriven, Cerro Negro, Sincor and Petrozuata. Partners include BP  (NYSE: BP), ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP), Chevron  (NYSE: CVX), ExxonMobil  (NYSE: XOM), Total (NYSE: TOT) and Statoil  (NYSE: STA).

PDVSA currently has stakes of around 40% in each of the projects.

Here's the rest of that Appleyard article, bear with me - I have a question...

"GeoLab LLC is a member of the GeoLab Group of Companies providing extensive experience in supporting a diverse range of specialist data-gathering, survey and seabed mapping services to support the marine construction, hydrocarbon, telecommunication, and maritime industries worldwide.

The GeoLab group of companies operates through a network of strategically located companies to provide its customers with a global service. Experienced field proven professionals, whom in turn service the needs of their local customers, manage each entity. The Group represents the integrated capabilities of five GeoLab Companies; GeoLab Technical Services Ltd. (UK), GeoLab srl. (Italy), GeoLab bv (Netherlands), GeoLab LLC (USA) and GeoLab Technical Services Nigeria Ltd. (Nigeria).

The services provided by the company are subject to an ISO 9002 control process to ensure that the deliverable items satisfy the clients' requirements. The extent of services covered by the accreditation covers all supporting activities inclusive of Project and Operational Management compliance functions and is summarized within the scope of the ISO charter. Health, Safety, Environmental and Risk management are all components of the system, which dovetail into the Quality compliance process."



I have no idea what the ISO 9002 control process IS...but if Silvetti violated it...that might give us an in...does that even make sense?

Silvetti,Schaefer,BP,and South America.Could that be where it's at???Mermis going to Venezuela....For what? ::MonkeyCool::

No!But i'm sure we'll find out... ::MonkeyWink::

 ::MonkeyHaHa::   ::MonkeyHaHa::  You said:  "No!"   ::MonkeyHaHa:: ::MonkeyHaHa::

Just thinking that if Silvetti is held to a certain standard of operation by an industry oversight group and if he violated those standards of operation during this voyage, which he WAS hired to perform, then there might actually be real-life consequences for both him and GeoLab as a whole.

That's what I'm wondering. And looking at the ships and how they are still being utilized.

That's what I'm wondering. And looking at the ships and how they are still being utilized.

It appears that John Silvetti's connections have benefited both Kyle Kingman and Tim Miller ... the two who sooo convinced that the December 29th ROV images reveal the remains of Natalee Holloway and ... soo convinced that something was hinky in regards to the December 30th dive.

Kyle Kingman:  On the night of the 30th (I believe this was Tim's last night on the Persistence) I approached Tim and proposed some ideas to him. I suggested that we shouldn't take the Aruban Polis divers at their word and proceed with planning a recovery of the trap. Also, I proposed the trap site may not be pristine or the Polis may have already knew about it. This statement was backed up by several comments we heard, behavior we observed, and other things. Tim told me he thought I was right but didn't know what to do about it.

Through Skøyen Station - Norway, 12-July 2008

On the 7th of July 2008, I flew from Newark to Copenhagen, Denmark. After a 7 ½ hr flight from Newark, I was relieved to land in Denmark. I think the Copenhagen airport was actually a shopping mall disguised as an airport.

<snipped>

The North Sea is a cold, volatile beast. One moment it is tranquil and picturesque, while the next it is an explosive, churning, and bone-chilling frenzy brimming with white caps. Last night, a long low-profile work vessel was operating within a mile of our vessel.

The offshore project manager, John told me that recently 18 people drowned on that same boat when it sank.

- Ulsteinvik to Cairo- 24-July
2345 hrs, Thursday July 24th – Cairo, Egypt

It’s 0200 hrs local time. Walking off the plane… “At least it’s not as hot as UAE”, I think to myself. “Please God; let my driver be waiting for me”. I was contacted about 12 hours earlier in Norway by a Dutch agent  who needed me in Cairo ASAP and they were not afraid to pay a high price to get me here. All I know is there was to be a driver waiting for me. I don’t know who the client is, what the job is, what I’m doing in Egypt, or if I will even be staying in Egypt.

Kyle Kingman - 02/15/2008
Although we have searched and ruled out an extensive portion of the original planned search area, a substantial portion of the high-probability area yet remains to be explored. Now, following a publicly confirmed admission that Natalee Holloway was disposed at sea, we are confident that completing the focused search area will bring closure. We therefore formally invite and request anyone who this humanitarian effort has touched to get involved and to help support the remaining search efforts. Donations are being handled by Texas Equusearch, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization. Please come beside those who have already given so much to help ensure a proper funeral in Alabama for Natalee Holloway. Please make all donations marked as: "Holloway search".

On Monday, five different groups were using sonar equipment to scan the bottom of Clear Lake — League City, Nassau Bay, the Montgomery County Constable’s office and The Silvetti Group  and Legacy Offshore Divers & Construction Co., both of Louisiana, Black said. Equusearch said the sonar teams and divers will work through most of Monday night.

“The winds have not let up on us to allow us to do anything much until now,” Black said Monday afternoon.

The search will continue on Tuesday beginning at 8 a.m. Volunteers are needed and encouraged to visit the command center located at the Clear Lake Park boat ramp on NASA Parkway in Seabrook.

At about 10:15 p.m. Sunday, the search team was joined by The Silvetti  Group and Legacy arrived with divers, who began searching shortly thereafter and continued diving until about 5 a.m. Monday.

"From my perspective ... I consider it a betrayal to Natalee Holloway and her family to dialogue whether John Silvetti's actions as project head can be justified."

It is realized by John Silvetti supporters that Kyle Kingman's words reveal the truth encompassing his betrayal of Natalee Holloway, the family and those who embraced the Persistence undertaking with prayers and financial support.

Kyle Kingman holds the the power ... the Ace card and ... he must be appeased if John Silvetti is to be protected from the legal and professional fallout encompassing so many aspects of the Persistence deception.

THE PROBLEM: Kyle Kingman's own words.

THE SOLUTION: Create a smokescreen to obscure Kyle Kingman's own words. The messengers must be the focus. The messengers must be discredited.

I get the angle you're working Kermit, and its a good one.  I'm just having a hard time keeping it all straight and putting dates to it.  I figure if I just keep adding it all to the timeline it'll eventually wash out.

We know Mermis was travelling to Venezuela during the Class Action period, which was approx. iirc from the IPO in April 2007 to January 28(?), 2008.  During the planning and first half of the search.
We don't know yet if he was going there before the IPO, but I imagine he may well have been.

Follow the boats.

RECAP of the above post:

Mermis moves to Superior Offshore and purchases Superior Endeavor
Superior Offshore puts 25 million to refurbish that vessel.

Superior Offshore is in bankruptcy
BUT Superior Endeavor is currently on its way to Saudi Arubia for a year through a contract

Gulmar Falcon vessel owned by Superior Offshore is also terminated due to Superior Offshore's bankruptcy troubles.

BUT it's continuing to charter the boat for a short term

Gulmar Condor vessel owned by Superior Offshore is chartered until April 2009 and working for BP in Trinidad.

I feel the same way, Janet, as it relates to "dialogue" implying Tim "the liability" Miller was/is in cahoots with Silvetti.

BPTT, Superior complete Cashima, Mango subsea lines

In 2007, BP Trinidad and Tobago (bpTT) plans were to produce two new gas fields, Cashima and Mango, to supply gas both to the domestic market and for LNG exports to the US. This required installation and connection of the fields’ subsea pipeline and riser system. In addition, two further pieces of work were needed: connection of the Beachfield Upstream Development (BUD) gas pipeline, operated by Trinidad’s National Gas Company, to bpTT’s greater Cassia central processing hub; and also connection of the new tanker loading oil pipeline, the NOEL (new oil export loading) pipeline, with the Galeota terminal in Southeast Trinidad. BPTT contracted Superior Offshore for the work.

Lifesong ... both Kyle Kingman and Tim Miller became "liabilities" in my opinion ... liabilities who needed to be appease if John Silvetti was going to avoid legal and professional fallouts in regards to the chain of custody of the samples ... the chain of custody that involved only the Arubans ... the enemy.

I am only attempting to comprehend why both these "liabilities" are benefiting from an professional relationship with John Silvetti.  I would assume that their heartfelt concerns in regarding the events encompassing the sample recovery process would dictate otherwise.  I would assume that support for Natalee Holloway and her family would dictate otherwise.

KYLE KINGMAN - IN HIS OWN WORDS

Kyle Kingman:  On the night of the 30th (I believe this was Tim's last night on the Persistence) I approached Tim and proposed some ideas to him. I suggested that we shouldn't take the Aruban Polis divers at their word and proceed with planning a recovery of the trap. Also, I proposed the trap site may not be pristine or the Polis may have already knew about it. This statement was backed up by several comments we heard, behavior we observed, and other things. Tim told me he thought I was right but didn't know what to do about it.

Kyle Kingman:  After the Dec 30th dive John [Silvetti] didn't want Tim Miller on board the Persistence because he said Tim wasn't necessary any more and was a liability. I don't know what that exactly means, but Tim wasn't hurting anything except releasing the statements to the press and Holloways that we found Natalee.

Kyle Kingman: The most likely to remain at or near it's original location was the skull, which is why I was so convinced the object pictured was a skull.

The search for Natalee Holloway
TRANSCRIPT

updated 5:20 p.m. PT, Fri., Feb. 22, 2008

Tim Miller: I stepped on the boat and said “Natalee we're coming to get you.” Now we're finally coming to get you. And I still believe that from the bottom of my heart. She's out here and now we're on our way.

Over the holiday season, the crew of the persistence worked day and night to survey the ocean floor and look for targets that could hold the key to finding Natalee.

On Christmas Eve sonar pictures revealed what looked like a large trap, almost exactly where Tim Miller theorized it would be.

And on Dec. 29 the crew dropped a remote operated vehicle, or ROV, into the water to get a closer look.

Tim Miller: It looked like a skull. Still looks like a skull.  ... In my years of searching we have seen several bodies, skeletal remains--I have seen my own daughter's skeletal remains. I can’t help but believe at this moment that that is human remains in that crab trap.

BUMP... ::MonkeyCool::

It is really hard following all these vessels and it gets into a bit of a quagmire.

And Mermis is involved in the buyback agreement with Legacy.

Mermis resigns from Superior Offshore and plans to join - Kaplan Industry

Mermis said in that Q & A clip that they were setting up the IPO
"as we set up the IPO here, the executive management received restricted stock. That stock vests over a four and a half year period. The first tranche came six months after the IPO,

It's traunch or traunche not tranche.
Meaning a number of stock transaction.

"You have to be calm and cool," says Charles Zamora, general manager of Dive Operations for Superior Offshore International of Lafayette, La.  "You've got to have a good personality. You can't have a person that's not pleasant to hang around within a confined space like that."

Sure is interesting that Superior Energy claims no association with Superior Offshore but they both name their boats "Superior Something".

Good work Hotping!

Well, in MY opinion --it goes beyond getting "chumped". I think Kyle knew (and cared about what was going on) until about June '08 when he started looking at Silvetti being his "gravy train". I'm sorry to say that the Persistence crew either got WAAAAY side-tracked or were ingenuous  from the start.

Wreck ... I agree. I believe that Kyle was troubled by the obvious betrayal by John Silvetti of Natalee Holloway's family.  The ROV images sent to the FBI and ... his connection with the Natalee's Freebirds ... tells me that he wanted the deception exposed.

I believe that John Silvetti, Tim Trahan and Louis Schaefer realized that Kyle Kingsman was a force that had to be reckoned with or there would be legal and professional fallout from the Persistence undertaking.  Incentives involving major network deals and career opportunities was where it was at in the name of appeasement.

SM poster, Buckshot, responds (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=4153.msg550900#msg550900):  “…The monkeys seem to feel certain items (samples) were replaced when sent off to the FBI to be tested. We also have our doubts about certain people that helped you in the search.”

• Rob posts a picture of the cage (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355904#msg355904):  “…I posted it the other day... no one seemed to care.”
• JackB responds, asking Klaas to “POST THE PIC HERE” (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355923#msg355923):  “It seems like it would be a good time.  I will stay on this place and go forward, hope to see it.  This is going to be a good morale thing. “
• JackB adds that he just sent Klaas a couple of pictures (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355942#msg355942):  “…One shows a skull in the cage.”
• He further explains (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355947#msg355947):  “There is a skull.  The equipment they are using is set up to block the wire and keep the contents in perspective.  They can do this because of the distance and the wire is so much smaller than the holes they surround and the skull.  It is a computer generated thing.  It is a color thing.  The skull is there.   Their computer is fast and furious and can do this by calculations in a speck of the time it takes me to clean something up by using other equipment not specifically made for what they are doing.”
• Klaas posts the 6 pictures of the cage (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355959#msg355959) she rec’d in an anonymous email.  The same pictures Robin posted at BNH.

Dana Pretzer hosts Art Wood on his radio show. (http://scaredmonkeysradio.com/2008/02/26/the-dana-pretzer-show-on-scared-monkeys-radio-listen-live-tuesday-february-26th-at-9pm-eastern-guests-include-pat-brown-robert-peters-christopher-lyons-art-wood-and-scared-monkeys/) Concerning the Persistence search, Art says, “They've identified over 100 possible targets that could be Natalee on the ocean floor. They're trying to narrow that list to 30 or 40 more likely targets, they can dive on them however John has informed us that they have run out of money. Actually, if they can't come up with some donations within the next week to 10 days, they're going to be bringing the boat home.”

The donation drive begins here: 
"Without contributions Persistence is coming home." (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355955#msg355955)
"Everyone jump on greta wire quickly before she covers case asking her to tell people they need donations" (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355962#msg355962)
"I heard Jossy will be putting some full page ads in Diario requesting donations too." (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355964#msg355964)
"I do not understand the time frame" (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355966#msg355966)
"Tim Miller was on Greta...He did get to request donations so this search can continue" (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355974#msg355974)
"Greta asked Tim about needing donations and gave him a chance to give his website and phone number" (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355981#msg355981)
"I pray they find the funds they need to continue.  I believe in them" (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355982#msg355982)
"Is there a web link we can donate via PayPal?" (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355991#msg355991)

As the discussion over the original six pictures continues:
"I can see how Tim Miller would think he might have found something looking at this pic" (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355965#msg355965)
"Even in the other picture it looked like a body in the fetal position." (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355967#msg355967)
"That does look like a skull to me. (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355969#msg355969)
"those are awesome pics!" (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355976#msg355976)
"I understand now why Tim was convinced" (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg355984#msg355984)
"It still looks like her to me" (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg356002#msg356002)

And Tim Miller appears on Greta Van Sustern's FoxNews show, On The Record (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2641.msg356016#msg356016):
"Tim:  The report we got is the DNA that came back did not match Natalee's DNA and when we located that it looked like more than just a piece of cloth and I mean we, we felt as though we seen a skull in there. We got the Aruba authorities involved, they felt there was something in there, we dove on it and the thing is that's only 1 of over 170 targets out there we still have to investigate, so we've got a lot of work ahead of us."

Kyle is unhappy that the pictures have leaked (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2654.msg357200#msg357200): "Don't you even think to consider for a second that we the search team, who found the trap, supervised it's sampling, recorded that video and others... are ensuring the situation is in proper hands and being taken care of appropriately and completely?"

Kyle Kingman (http://geosolutions.blogspot.com), again posting as oceanexplorer (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?action=profile;u=3285) at SM, makes two references to having been away from the search.
•   “I'm getting caught up with the data collected while I've been off the boat.” (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2654.msg356886#msg356886)
•   “I've personally been handling the matter* while I was on the east coast last week.“ (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2654.msg357222#msg357222)
[*Note: the matter = selling television rights to the search; See 02-14-08]

02/28/2008
Article by Cynthia Cisneros, Houston ABC affiliate (http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=5988951), quotes Louis J. Schaefer:
•   “I've dedicated a million dollars, I've gone way above that," said Louis Schafer of Underwater Expeditions.
•   "I feel like it's time to ask for help from the American people that want to see this case solved." 
•   "By Friday, we will have surveyed the entire 50-square mile off Aruba," Schafer said.
•   "We have identified at least 60 of the targets. we have about 150 more targets to inspect."  "So we have completely mapped the ocean floor, we know every object that's there, we know every object that could be a container holding her in the sea,” he said.

Tim Trahan is quoted in the same article:
"And we all feel, I'm speaking from everybody on the team, that she's in one of the targets we have not looked at yet," Tim Trahan of Underwater Expeditions said. "We can't stop. I go to sleep at night thinking we've located it, we just need to get to it."

02/29/08
Kyle Kingman (http://geosolutions.blogspot.com) in a discussion on the open SM form, is asked (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2654.msg357201#msg357201):   “Maybe Mr Schafer can sell the television rights to the remainder of the search to one of the networks so they can raise enough money to finish the search,  and possibly recoup his own money.  Any thoughts?”

Kyle Kingman (http://geosolutions.blogspot.com) posts this message (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=2654.540) in response:  “This is a very good idea.  We've been working on that for a couple weeks.  I've personally been handling the matter while I was on the east coast last week.  Unfortunately, the Dateline story aired along with Greta and scooped up the remainder of what the press felt was immediately worth reporting on.  I can't blame them.  It's business.  Definitely shot that down though.  Move on.  Deal with it. Stay the course.”

Caps backs away from his Moko Pool/WhiteHouse Apts. theory (and with no evidence at all, suddenly has Natalee's body now decapitated to fit his theories) (http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=1952.msg357493#msg357493):  "The problem with Moko pool is that if they dump the body in there, this acctiion leave Joran walking home. and not to the McDonnald. Now lets assume that what is said that the head was not part of the body no more, and that both places has been used. The Moko Pool which is right at the doorstep of the Whitehouse Apartment and there they could have dumb a peace of the body then drive Joran to the Monserat Pool and split leaving Joran alone.  Driving to the Monserat they will dump an other peace of the body. Split and leave Joran behind.  The Monserat pool will leave him walking to McDonald.  This will give both Simian and Shango Validity for their writtings."

What I do not understand
Why a new search in Aruba ?
Kermit has given new evidence and all the new information to the family
(she told me here that Dave has all the information )
Can Kermit give  me an answer?
thank you!

Other than a Dutch article -- where is "another search" confirmed??

I have seen no confirmation of a new search either.  AND Kermit said Beth is fully aware of all this.  I don't think she said Dave but I am sure Dave is aware also.

kermit said this Дейв имеет информацию > that means Dave heeft de informatie.

The only thing I've seen about a new search is that Dutch article.  Nothing else saying anything about a search.  I'll ask Red again to see if he's heard anything.  It's almost as though the Dutch article was some sort of ruse.

I was just there earlier today!   ::MonkeyWink::

Thank You Klaas....It seems to be a Ruse to Me Too!

I BELIEVE THE FROG.

I do not believe a person who posted on two sites with different stories.  Rather than clear things up and answer questions about his and his employers actions on the search for Natalee he decided not to post.  He has been hiding behind others.  That sometimes happens when people find out the truth.


THE FROG TOOK HIM DOWN.

I have the right to believe what I want to believe.  I don't want to be forced to believe what others believe just because they think the person is a good guy.

Kermit is not here.  Who told you to only get an answer from Kermit?
Where are you getting the information that there is a new search planned for sure?

The name of Dave Holloway's book is The Tragic Untold Story of Natalee Holloway and CORRUPTION in Paradise.


Does that sound like a vote of confidence in the Aruban LE and their handling of evidence?  I seriously doubt he is eager for a repeat of the last performance by this search crew.

But then I don't call the family on every excuse I can think of and so haven't spoken to him about this.  Inappropriate to do so but perhaps Red could ask if there is another such endeavor in the works.

No thanks Anna, I like your avi ::MonkeyWink::

The two favorite targets yet again--Kermit and Anna.  Not a doubt in my mind who the sponsor is.  And I am one having the least of information to supply in this effort so it's certainly NOT about Natalee Holloway by any measure.

And is rather transparent in my opinion.

Seems to me you are asking Kermit for an answer only Dave Holloway can give.  We don't even know if there's really going to be another search for sure. 

I have not seen anything anywhere that proves there is another search planned. A lot of hot air, that's about it .  IMO
