The above words of John Silvetti reeks deception.  His words downplay the significance of the trap/cage and ... implies the search for Natalee Holloway's remains is still on going and ... funds are required.

Not only deception Janet, it's called FRAUD.

Even IF that couldn't have been proven at the time - how about now?

Now that no further "search" has transpired - meantime................what happened to all the donations for this specific search that were made after March 1, 2008?

I can only hope that all of this "fraud" falls under the jurisdiction of the United States.  I pray that there is an investigation going on behind the scenes by the FBI in regards to the happenings encompassing the deception of the Persistence undertaking ... an investigation that we are not aware of.

The questioning by the FBI of Kyle Kingsman, Tim Trahan, John Silvetti and Louis Schaefer would go a long ways on the road to revealing the truth.

jen ... I do believe a "Monkey" document with all the research that you and other Monkeys have been doing in regards to this topic is where it is at just in case the "powers that be" in the US have not been clued in.

Aruba is ordering the closure of the Dutch liason office.


this office is used by the Dutch secret service and navy to keep an eye on Venezuela.

but Aruba suspect it's also used for espionage on Aruba itself.

http://www.amigoe.com/artman/publish/artikel_52435.php

more fall-out from the 'espionage-row' between Aruba and The Netherlands:

several Dutch members of parliament are asking the state secretary and the justice minister question.

state secretary Bijleveld will answer these questions on Monday and she already started an investigation into the leaking of the internal report.

Superior Offshore International narrows Q3 profit, sinks to 52-week low


Alex Alexandrov | Nov 16, 2007 12:36pm EST |

Shares of Superior Offshore International, Inc. (Nasdaq: DEEP) have submerged to a new 52-week low on news after the close on Thursday that provider of subsea construction and commercial diving services narrowed its third-quarter profit.

Net income for the three months ended Sept. 30 was $3.6 million, or $0.14 per share, compared with a net income of $13.7 million, or $0.92 per share, a year earlier. Six analysts polled by Thomson Financial were expecting earnings of $0.30 per share.

The Houston-based company reported that revenues increased 17.2% to $75.5 million, beating Wall Street’s projections of $61.02 million. Revenues in the third quarter of 2006 were $64.4 million.

“During the third quarter of 2007, we realized improved vessel utilization as compared with the first half of the year,” said president and CEO James Mermis in a statement. “All of our dynamically positioned vessels are currently under hire, except for [one], which is in dry dock until early December 2007.”

However, Superior Offshore had to temporarily dry-dock two vessels during the third-quarter, a move which negatively affected its earnings. The company also attributed the profit decline to softening demand for call-out diving services.

Three of Superior Offshore’s vessels are currently involved with British Petroleum’s gas procession platform off the coast of the Caribbean country Trinidad & Tobago. Work on the project is expected to wrap up by the end of 2007.

The third-quarter also saw the company purchase Ocean Flow International, LLC, a subsea engineering and project management firm, for about $15 million. The stock-for-stock transaction is expected to close by the end of November, Superior Offshore said.

At 12:31 p.m. ET, shares of Superior Offshore International (DEEP) had sunk $1.44, or 17%, to $7.16. The previous 52-week low of $8.10 was established on Nov. 15, while the 52-week high of $19.58 was set on May 4.

Superior Offshore International narrows Q3 profit, sinks to 52-week low


Alex Alexandrov | Nov 16, 2007 12:36pm EST |

Shares of Superior Offshore International, Inc. (Nasdaq: DEEP) have submerged to a new 52-week low on news after the close on Thursday that provider of subsea construction and commercial diving services narrowed its third-quarter profit.

Net income for the three months ended Sept. 30 was $3.6 million, or $0.14 per share, compared with a net income of $13.7 million, or $0.92 per share, a year earlier. Six analysts polled by Thomson Financial were expecting earnings of $0.30 per share.

The Houston-based company reported that revenues increased 17.2% to $75.5 million, beating Wall Street’s projections of $61.02 million. Revenues in the third quarter of 2006 were $64.4 million.
