XVII. Support the Effort

Fri 15-Feb 1100 hrs

Special Notice:


<snipped>

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".

I prefer to stay away from speculation, hearsay, and opinion. I would rather deal with facts, wherever they may lead.  I have been praying for justice for Natalee since June of 2005. Do not make assumptions about me or what my intentions are, Keepthefaith.


VMS ... I know you have.  This is why I fail to comprehend why you are there and not here.

You don't get a class action lawsuit filed against you for philanthropic endeavors.

Just saying. . . . . .


No, you sure don't!  What these people claim was done to them does seem supported by the facts and times of sale of those with insider information.


I'm still back here getting caught up, but wanted to mention that its not only the class action lawsuits by the shareholders they screwed over - they are under investigation by the SEC for Insider Trading/Securities Fraud.  That's the big deal.  (Think Martha Stewart)

I know most readers and posters have already watched "Final Hours of Natalee Holloway", but it is on at 8pm tonight on E!. I just consider it a refresher course to get pissed off at Aruba, and the BS that those animals have caused the family to suffer through.

Thanks for the reminder BC

Looks like Tim and Equusearch have a forum now? That link is at the top toolbar on their website now.

http://texasequusearch.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=2fda8e2c3faef2751d36b6029a32d6f5



Right but it doesn't look like it's being utilized yet nor is it really being moderated.  All good intentions I'm sure. Their new website is more like a blog set up rather than a website set up, I don't care for it but that's just me.

I am having difficulty locating info on the Natalee Holloway searches including the Persistence undertaking.

11 Feb 2008 - Kyle asks for donations for the Persistence to continue the search. They are out of funds.
14 Feb  Kyle is in US talking to Executives
Klye said: "I have an ABC (20/20) and CBS (early show) film crew ready and willing to take part in such a meeting should it require press coverage. I've already had a meeting with ABC about this and they are "definitely interested" at the executive level. We met in mid-Feb about this already


I hope you've got that pie in the oven, Janet!

Equusearch seems to have no problems working with the Silvetti Group.



Search for Missing Kayaker - Dr. Stephen Zella, in Seabrook, TX - TES needs searchers
Posted on 22. Feb, 2009 by B Tarr in Active Cases, Featured Articles, Missing Persons

02/23/09- Monday, Feb 23, 2009 - 6:30pm  The search for Dr Zella will continue tomorrow morning at Clear Lake Park.  We are still in need of boats, kayaks, jet skis and waverunners, in addition to people to act as observers on the boats.  All volunteers should report to the Command Center at the boat launch at Clear Lake Park, 5001 NASA Parkway at 8:00 am.

At this time, five boats have been deployed into Clear Lake using side scan sonar and other advanced technology to locate Stephen. Many of the boats and the dive teams will continue to work throughout the night.  At this point, Dr Zella has not yet been found, but our hopes are not dimmed that he will be found soon.  Our prayers, our thoughts, and our continued commitment remain with Dr Zella and his loving family and friends.

02/23/09 - Monday, Feb 23, 2009 4:15pm We have been asked to post the following message from the children of Dr. Stephen Zella:

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.
Lovingly,
Remington Zella, age 11 and Maxwell Zella, age 8


02/23/09 - Monday, Feb 23, 2009 1:45pm update: Multiple volunteers with boats and kayaks have shown up today to assist in the search for Stephen Zella. The kayaks are able to get into areas where the larger boats are unable to search, ensuring that we are able to do a thorough search of the area. Although high winds are making the search more difficult today, conditions have not stopped the volunteers in their effort to find Stephen. The search is still ongoing.

We continue to receive calls of concern and care from friends, neighbors,classmates and associates of Stephen and his family. The support shown by the community and friends has been outstanding, and we wish to extend our deepest thanks. Please, continue to keep Stephen and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

02/23/09 - Monday, Feb 23, 2009 Texas EquuSearch is in need of boats, kayaks, jet skis and wave runners to assist in today’s search for Dr. Zella, along with people to act as observers in the boats.  The Command Center is still located at the boat launch at Clear Lake Park, 5001 NASA Parkway, Seabrook, Texas.

Last night, sonar equipment and divers worked late into the night in their efforts to find Dr. Zella. Our efforts will continue today with sonar teams scouring the bay area, Clear Lake and inlet streams.

02/22/09 - Sunday, Feb 22, 2009 - As of 10:15 pm, Texas EquuSearch has been joined in the search for Dr. Zella by the Silvetti Group and Legacy Offshore Divers & Construction Company, both out of Louisiana. We will continue searching tonight, as long as possible.

02/22/09 - Sunday, Feb 22, 2009 - As of 7:45pm,  Dr. Stephen Zella has not been located.  Texas EquuSearch will resume the search on Monday at 8:00am. We are asking for volunteers with shallow water boats, kayaks and jet-skis, along with foot searchers. The Command Center will remain at the boat launch at Clear Lake Park, 5001 NASA Parkway.  Search Coordinator Frank Black can be reached at 713-301-6813.

Although we have not yet found Dr. Zella, our hopes remain high that our search will be successful. We would like to extend our deepest thanks to the surrounding community, citizens and businesses alike, for their outstanding support and to local law enforcement for their tireless efforts and cooperation.

Please, continue to keep Dr. Zella and his loving family, friends and associates in your hearts and in your prayers.

02/22/09 - Sunday, Feb 22, 2009 - As of 11:45 am, CST, multiple volunteers with Texas EquuSearch are on the scene searching for Dr. Stephen Zella.  Member Ted Miller is on scene with his personal helicopter to provide search assistance, along with multiple boats, other watercraft and foot searchers.  At this time, we have not yet found Dr. Zella, but we remain hopeful that today’s search will be successful.  We continue to keep the family in our prayers.

02/21/09 -Saturday evening update - Members of Texas EquuSearch spent the day searching for a missing kayaker on Clear Lake Saturday.  The missing man has been identified as well loved Dr. Stephen Zella, a 38 year old resident of the Clear Lake area.  Although we have not yet found Stephen, we plan on resuming a full-scale search on Sunday and our hopes are high that we will locate him and return him to his loving family.

Searchers are needed to assist in the search.  We are in need of searchers with jet-skis, kayaks and shallow water boats, in addition to foot searchers.  If you are able to assist, please come to the Command Center, located at the boat launch in Clear Lake Park, 5001 NASA Parkway, Seabrook, Texas.   The search will resume at 8:00 am.  The Search Coordinator is Frank Black, who can be reached at 713-301-6813.  Please see the link below for a map to the Command Center.

We ask that you continue to hold Stephen Zella, his loving family and friends close to your heart and in your prayers during this most difficult of times.

Search team hopes they are close to finding missing kayaker

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.”
