Search team hopes they are close to finding missing kayaker

Bay Area Citizen
By DANA GUTHRIE
Updated: 02.24.09
Even more boats and volunteers arrived at Clear Lake Park in Seabrook Tuesday morning to aid in the search for Dr. Stephen Zella, who disappeared from his kayak on Friday near the NASA Parkway bridge.

"I think we're close, I really do," said Frank Black, search coordinator for Equusearch, which has been on the scene since Saturday. "I hope we'll have something positive today."

On Monday, a note was posted on the Equusearch website from Zella's children, 11-year-old daughter Remington and 8-year-old son Maxwell.


"We need volunteers to help in the fight to find my daddy. I love him so much.   If you can help the volunteers with a boat or kayak, please help them. We have not stopped the search."


The community response during the search for Zella has been “phenomenal,” Black said Monday afternoon at about 4 p.m.

“We’re determined to find him now."

Most of the day Monday, high winds stirred up the waters near the Clear Lake Park boat ramp, where Zella, 38, disappeared early Friday afternoon, leaving only his kayak, fishing equipment and bait behind.

Friends and family members from across the country are paying close attention to the search for the Nassau Bay psychiatrist, who worked for The Watershed, a drug and alcohol counseling group in Webster, until it shut down about a month ago.

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.

The divers got a little rest on Monday morning before starting up again, Black said.

He added that numerous boaters, jet-skiers and kayakers, which can get into smaller spaces and shallows, came out all day Monday to assist with the search.

Black said that after scanning the lake bottom with sonar, divers must determine whether what they found is debris.

“We’re in a process of elimination right now,” he said.

The lake bed is covered with both concrete used to break up waves coming in from Galveston Bay, and debris from Hurricane Ike, all of which makes searching difficult.

“There’s so much debris and stuff out here it’s just really slow traveling right now,” Black said, adding that the group will continue its search until Zella is found or until the Harris County Constable Precinct 8, which is leading the search, calls it off.

Seen struggling

Zella apparently fell out of a kayak on Clear Lake near Clear Lake Park off Nasa Parkway about 12:30 p.m. Friday.

Witnesses had seen Zella, who had apparently been fishing near the NASA Parkway bridge, struggling with his kayak in the water on Friday and attempted to rescue him but were unsuccessful.

All day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Coast Guard and Equusearch helicopters and police and fire rescue boats from Webster, Nassau Bay, Seabrook, Harris County constable and sheriff and Kemah scoured the area just south of the Nasa Parkway bridge between the boat ramp at Clear Lake Park and the Hilton Hotel.

Rescue attempt

Jason McPeak of Webster said he was sitting near his kayak, ready to eat lunch, when two acquaintances ran up and told him a man was struggling in his kayak in the water.

McPeak jumped in his own kayak and headed out toward Zella, but by the time he got there, the kayaker had disappeared.

The kayak had flipped over and and when McPeak turned it over, it was full of water. Fishing equipment and baggies with bait were in the kayak, he said.

Those who saw the Zella struggling said he was not wearing a life jacket and that he apparently was alone.

McPeak said the Zella’s kayak was small compared to his own. “I’ve got a small one but I wouldn’t take it out where he was trying to fish,’’ he said, explaining that the water was rough. “I got water in my kayak when I was trying to get out to him.’’

He estimated the water was about 12 to 14 feet deep where Zella disappeared.

Compliments for police

Black said he was pleased with the level of cooperation between all of the police agencies in the Bay Area, especially the Harris County Constable’s Preceinct 8 office, which controls the scene of the incident and the search.

“I couldn’t ask for no better,” Black said of Precinct 8.

“They bend over backwards any way they can.”

He added that he noticed the search effort was well-organized from the minute Equusearch was called in.

“Everybody just started working together, and I was impressed.”

.... and this bothers me when you consider Kyle Kingman's own words in regards to John Silvetti's betrayal of the those who donated through TES toward the cost of Persistence search of Natalee Holloway's remains.  Those who sacrifically gave ... did not expect a discovery to be handed blindly over to the enemy who has prevented justice from prevailing for Natalee Holloway and put her family through a H--- on Earth since May 30, 2005.

Hey ... VMS where did you come from?  How are you doing?

Janet

+++++++


BETRAYAL!!

KYLE KINGMAN - IN HIS OWN WORDS

John Silvetti

Kyle:  John is not a believer in the trap. He took ALE's word as gospel that it wasn't case related, yet never studied the videos or bothered to inquire further. He had plans on doing business with Aruba and in S. America and he didn't want to hurt any feelings by talks hinting at lack of complete trust and friendship.

Kyle:  I took the proportions of the body form from the head, to shoulder, to a 90 degree angle which I believed to be the hem line of Natalee's skirt. I then took those proportions and matched them to the photo of Natalee with what she was last seen wearing. The proportions matched within an inch from head, to shoulder, to skirt line. Based on this comparison and with what we believed we saw in the Dec 29th video, Tim Miller contacted the family and told them the 99.9% comment. I told Tim not to do anything until we have forensic results back after the site is processed. Jan 7th we sampled the contents and in my opinion we found the skirt under the sand along with the other items The blue fabric was found right where the skirt is pictured. If it isn't her, it will forever haunt me as a major cosmic WTF.
 
Kyle: I know Tim believed me and was convinced 100% which is why he went and told Dave that we found Natalee on Dec 29th. John stood back and waited and worked with the Aruban Polis to arrange the next dive -Dec 30th's which was the visual-only dive.  John told me then he didn't want to hear me ever mention the trap again. Of course this didn't set well with me.

Kyle: Mr. Red Shirt came on the Persistence along with Dolf, Mos, et al for the meeting on the 30th."

Kyle:   This is certainly NOT John Silvetti. I do not know this man. He was with the Arubans who came on board for the Dec-30th meeting.

Kyle:   John didn't want Tim Miller on board the Persistence because he said Tim wasn't necessary any more and was a liability.

Kyle:   He (Tim Miller) stepped off on or about the 1st of Jan to follow up on the false lead in Costa Rica IIRC.

Kyle:   The Persistence had no divers on the 7th. Tim Trahan was our diver on the 30th-Dec, but he was out of the country at the time. The Aruban divers were on the police boat, dove from their boat, and returned to their boat.
 
Kyle:  They were immediately whisked away by the Aruban police and not seen of again by us on the 7th.

Kyle:  I get done in the survey room backing up the ROV dive and head to the back deck to talk to the Polis divers and see what they sampled and see the Polis boat way in the distance heading away fast. John doesn't seem concerned at all, but I am very dissapointed, concerned, and burning inside because I have a feeling that I/we will never know what they took from the trap. That evening I talked to John asking when we plan on recovering the trap. Previously this was part of the talks and plan, but this time he doesn't seem concerned about ever looking into the trap further. After John verbally BASHED me about the trap for what I said to Tim Miller about the sand body-form and that I believed her skirt was under the sand, John pretty much committed himself to the belief the trap wasn't what we were after. This shocked me because it was exactly what we were looking for- a fish trap lost at sea with human remains.

Kyle: Remember after the Jan-7th dive which sampled the trap Richardson told John emphatically to "keep searching she's still out there in the deep ocean".

Kyle: John Silvetti told me today that he may be returning to Aruba very soon for a few days. (05/08/08)

Kyle: He's [John Silvetti] seriously making plans to open an Aruba office so he can conduct business easier in S. America and that would allow him to do that. (06/10/08)

Item 8.01   Other Events.

     On April 4, 2008, the Company consummated the sale of the Gulf Diver V, a four-point vessel, and selected diving equipment on board such vessel to Legacy Offshore, L.L.C. for $4,000,000. Under the purchase agreement relating to the sale of the vessel, the Company has the option to repurchase the vessel and equipment from Legacy Offshore for $4,000,000 on October 1, 2008. As previously disclosed, the Company expects to recognize an impairment of up to $2,000,000 in connection with the sale of the vessel. Legacy Offshore provided the Company a deposit of $1,800,000 on March 28, 2008, that was used by the Company to make a scheduled payment under the charter agreement for the Gulmar Condor, a dynamically positioned vessel. The Company did not otherwise have the funds to make the charter payment and believes that the charter would have been terminated by the vessel owner had the payment not been made on such date. Louis E. Schaefer, Jr., the Chairman of the Board of the Company until November 14, 2007 and a current stockholder of the Company, is a member of Legacy Offshore.

What do we have here Jen3560??

Looks to me like we have Shaefer's little hidey hole for assets.............maybe.

And we also have a new company to take a lookie loo at for possible contract awards.

And we have another link between Silvetti and Shaefer - looks like they continue to be joined at the hip.

I, for one, do NOT think it's a coinky dink that Legacy was formed in November 2007.

Wonder who the other principals/"members" of Legacy are?

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
DATED AS OF APRIL 3, 2008
BY AND BETWEEN
SUPERIOR OFFSHORE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
AND
LEGACY OFFSHORE, L.L.C.

http://sec.edgar-online.com/superior-offshore-international-inc/8-k-current-report-filing/2008/04/15/Section8.aspx

This agreement was signed on behalf of Legacy by:
Josh Koch 
 Agent for Legacy Offshore, L.L.C. 

-----------

Who is the other Koch name we've seen a lot of lately?  Or is it the same guy?

R. Joshua Koch!Very interesting.Betcha it's the same guy.

   Betcha it is too!!!!  Now..............who did we find that he is associated with?

Louis Schaefer Jr.!Anyone else that i missed?

Yup - R Joshua Koch is/was a 10% owner/shareholder in Superior Offshore - AND Senior VP Counsel and Secretary, Director.

Offloaded a boatload of stock in October and November 2007.

Was he named in the Insider Trading class action suit?

I believe so but,would like the link to back it up so will search to see who all is on that list!

[vms]

Legacy Offshore is Schaefer's company which means Equusearch is still working with Silvetti and Schaefer.

Why would it be strange to find connections to Silvetti and Schaefer? Maybe they did business together before and after the Persistence search. What would be stange about that? What am I missing?

[Keepthefaith]

Thanx again VMS!

I don't find it strange at all.  In fact, just the other week we found a link that shows they worked together prior to November 2007.

Nope.  I don't find it strange at all.

I'm rather glad to find these continued links of the relationship.

[jen3560]

So let me make sure I've got this straight in my head.............

October/November 2007 - MAJOR stock dump by Shaefer and Koch

November 2007 - Shaefer and ?? start up Legacy Diving

November 2007 - An unknown individual solicits donations for the Aruba search, in connection with Silvetti

November 2007 - Superior (Shaefer) and Persistence (Sivletti) head for Aruba

April 3 2008 - Superior (Shaefer) sells at least 3 ships to Legacy (himself) with a leaseback option for Superior (himself)

Superior (Shaefer) makes one (at least) lease back payment to Legacy (himself)

April 2008 - Superior files for bankruptcy.

So now we have Legacy owning (at least) 3 ships = Shaefer STILL owns them, PLUS the MEGA MILLIONS that exchanged hands in the sale/purchase/leaseback option.  PLUS the MEGA MILLIONS he/they got in the stock dump in Oct/Nov 2007.

April 3 2008 - Silvetti is still asking for donations at BFN (to the tune of one million $$)

 

[Keepthefaith]

With the acquisition of the Horizon Offshore assets in December, 2007, we felt that by adding those assets, the pipe laying and [derrick] barge assets, with our legacy diving assets, we’d offer the client base a superior construction solution on an integrated basis. We also believed that that combined fleet would drive utilization for each.

I can take it out of the freezer ... and put it in the oven on a moment's notice.

Kermit will be pleased.  The pond is no longer frozen over and the pathway leading to it is no longer covered with snow.  I will get Veggie to check the small bulbs in the Japanese laterns that outline that small body of water.  In a couple of months Kermit can swim with some large Goldfish that will take up residence.

AIVD remains in Aruba

AMSTERDAM - Intelligence AIVD does not Aruba. This is despite the request of the Aruban Prime Minister Nelson Oduber who wants all of the island AIVD'ers leave.

Writes that Secretary of Kingdom Relations Ank Bijleveld (CDA) in a letter to the Lower House.

Bijleveld says no reason to try to meet a request of the Aruban Prime Minister Nelson Oduber.

 

Croes


The Aruban Justice Minister Rudy Croes said the AIVD'ers to want, after an internal report of the Dutch Representation in Aruba was held.

He played it to the media, wrote Bijleveld. That he deliberately reporting the publicity has, Bijleveld called 'bad'.

Harassment

In reporting to Aruban politicians and their relatives are not spared. Thus Croes' the ramkoers-role and the electorate happy, while a nephew of Croes and the son of Prime Minister Nelson Oduber intimidate people. The Aruban Minister accused the Netherlands after the leak of intelligence reporting.

Liason


In Aruba is Bijleveld since 2006 with the Aruban government liaison work of the AIVD. This liaison officer to maintain contact with intelligence and security services in Latin America and the Caribbean, requires the Secretary of State.

The liaison is not involved in the creation of the weekly messages, one of which ended up in Croes, set Bijleveld.

Confidential

The reporting was due to 'human error' in an Aruban official right, let Bijleveld know. An official of the Ministry of Justice sent the reporting accidentally mailed to an Aruban official.
