Diario Reporting Natalee Holloway Remains Found?

This came in from Dutch blog Hasibokus ... I have not been able to confirm.

Diario is reporting that they learned through various reliable sources that the Natalee Holloway case is (almost) solved. Diario reported today that around midnight the police closed of the pond that was being drained in the vicinity of Aruba Racquet Club. Immediately after that the local police and FBI went to the site with special equipment to conduct a thorough investigation. It is believed that the remains of Natalee Holloway have been found in the pond. Diario has approached the local authorities to get a statement from them regarding the finding of the body.  The police officers got nervous and wouldn’t go into details.

What makes this feeling of God guiding her home alive all the more strange to me. Is that for many years I have been an Atheist/Agnostic if I had been right then I could I feel so calm believing in God? Until this case. I also believe that he has many things for Natalee still to accomplish and this will guide her to that destiny.

[Disappointed Arubian]

The fact that the Diario is reporting it means that this story (about the case being closed to being solved and that a body may be found) is FALSE. The Diario has been wrong all along. What kind of journalism school did these people go to. Does'nt the head of the Diario own half of Aruba and the Aruban people?

How many times do I have to repeat myself? Diario did not say anything concrete. They are mere SPECUALTIONS. No facts. They only publish information they have gathered. If the FBI told Diario that the case will be solved soon it will be published so.

Nothing on the news about the pond, by the way.

coming up on Fox

[ann]

I've repeatedly heard the Diario in about as reliable as the National Enquirer. They get off on spreading rumors. Could be true, but as Dan said, unconfirmed.

[Ria]

fox is coming up with a report at the pond situation; waiting anxiously!!!!

[PinkCobrazz]

I looked at the Diario yesterday..Before I watched GretaWire..and the same articles was
on the Diario then. So I'm going to doubt..
that any body has been found. Also
scared monkeys is reporting that Ruben Trappenberg, a government official is saying
he doesn't think they will find a body in that area because it was already searched. I would
assume if a body was found..he would of known
about it before announcing this to the Aruban
public.

Personally I think its another false alarm.
And Dan did state he was not able to confirm.

[scubajap]

I am looking at the Diario at this very moment and it says all eyes are focused on the pond at Selena Cerca, but nothing else to report, as of this morning’s paper. There is nothing here about the case being solved, and there is absolutely nothing on the local radio or TV about any remains being found. The headline from Wednesday’s paper says “Is the Case solved? Is Natalee in the Pond? Question marks. so just more speculation and sensational reporting. This morning, Thursday’s paper reports nothing new. As of midnight last night they were still pumping.

MSNBC IS DOING UPDATE NOW......

Hey Guys,

This did come out yesterday and was noted on this blog:

*********

Esey ta detaye di ULTIMO ORA cu a drenta. Kico nan ta referi na “soluciona”, esey no por a haya detaye ariba dje, mucho menos confirmacion. Ora a puntra autoridad local, nan ta bira “nervioso” cu e pregunta.

***according to local authorities and FBI officials, the Natalee Holloway case has come to some form of resolution. When Diario asked local officials what they meant with resolution they would not elaborate, but they seemed nervous.****

Click the red button "Titularnan" and scroll down to about the 4th picture/article.

I am not aware of any additional info coming out through MSM last evening, either.

[Fla Girl]

Got backhoes digging....

[alw]

Dan i believe they would be a bore.....they are all politically correct ;)

[Fla Girl]

They said NOTHING on MSNBC.......just same ole same ole!!!

[DebW]

I agree that something must be up. NBC13.com (in Birmingham) has taken down their article about Natalee and the pond as well.

[scubajap]

Where do you get these ridiculous ideas that the Mansurs own half of Aruba and the people? They are a well off family that owns a popular Papiamento paper, that is all. Aruba is an island of over 100,000 people, you have only experienced a very few of them. Why don't you people do some research before you post these obviously uninformed remarks?

Thank you. Mansur's got nothing on me.

[Another Observer]

Why the hell would you believe anything that Ruben Cragtenberg said. From the beginning, he has appeared like the slimbeball speaking on behalf of a corrupt government and a poorly run police system. Maybe he's suggesting not to look in the pond because there actually is some kind of forensic evidence there, and the Aruban govt does not want to solve this case. Please do not believe anything coming from the Aruban government's mouth -they are corrupt, in debt to and scared of this so called drug mafia and just plain incompetent.

The U.S.A. also has lots of corruption but we know how to do certain things right.

[alw]

another teen attacked by shark in fla. Bull shark are you lurking?

[Another Observer]

Dissapointed and Scubajap, Mansur may not control you, but you don't have the power in Aruba that he does. If you did, you would be out there putting your creative ideas to use in solving the case rather than sharing your info w/ the idiots on here. Also, if you had any power relative to Mansur, you would stand up to these corrupt people. It's the fact that the Aruban ppl don't stand up to the poorly run LE, corrupt govt, and drug mafia influence is why they are owned by them.

[callmeBetty]

If there is a body, who will do the forensic analysis - Aruban LE?
My heart goes out to Beth and family, I hope for closure so they can go home to grieve, get on with the process of accepting their loss...........Will they ever know the real story?

[FloridaPatty]

Tiger sharks and Bull Sharks yes, because we have coastal red tide. This bacterial agent in the water causes fish to die so sharks cannot feed. They come in closer to shore, thus the attacks. I wouldn't go in the water right now to fetch a raft of money.

FOX says upcoming news from Aruba looks like it will come on after DAY SIDE at 12:30. EST.

Posted by: Another Observer | July 28, 2005 01:13 PM

We do stand up actually, but most of the time it's Mansur who does the talking for us. We speak through him because of his power.

Who's going to listen to a young, female Arubian with no experience on this case? I'll probably end up ridiculing the LE and the government and be right on top of it. Piss a lot of people off. Lol.

[kenny]

we all knew what Reuben was the first time we heard him speak. he had the usual Arube
mumbo jumbo down pretty good, but it did not resonate in Bama!

[Kap]

FloridaPatty - get lost. It's already 1:20pm.

[FloridaPatty]

BE AWARE FLORIDAPATTY REPORTS ARE FALSE

THIS PERSON IS KNOWN TO MAKE STUFF UP AND IS SEEN TROLLING ELSEWHERE

FLORIDAPATTY ALSO DISCREDITS TIM MILLER

FLORIDAPATTY GIVES THEMSELVES IMPORTANCE AND TROLLS ALL BOARDS SPREADING UNFOUNDED STORIES

...............................................

Hey idiot, get a new ID and go "troll" somewhere else.

[Patty Ann Smith]

I, too, especially pray for Beth!

[Wacky Theories]

All this Pond frenzy by the media and you bloggers proves you've gotten TOO WRAPPED UP into something that shouldn't affect you. People coming up with new wild speculations, demanding Kalpoes be arrested.

None of you are family or friends of Natalee. Have never heard of her before May 31. I bet Most of you had never heard of Aruba or if you did, could locate it on a map. Never had the intention or finances to take a weeks vacation there, so boycotting it is an empty gesture. You are also boycotting Fiji and Galapagos Islands then.
This shouldn't be gripping your personal lives, you've become Vouyeristic Vampires living Vicariously thru Faux News & CNN, who only care about the ratings. The longer this is a mystery, the better it is for Geraldo "RicoSauve" Rivera, Nancy DisGrace and Greta Van Shushtern.

Instead, be happy your family is healthy and safe. Hug your kid(s), spouse, and other loved ones. If you want to get involved in a missing persons issue, then be part of one of your MANY local missing person funds, help in an Amber Alert search, walk w/ a search party thru fields, woods, etc. instead of sitting on your duffs with one eye on cable TV and the other on your computer monitor. This is what Instant Communications and Media has done to many - turned people into flocks of scared mindless sheep.

(and don't bother telling me if I don't like it on here to just leave and go elsewhere) I know I'm stepping on toes and will get a rise, it's because you've been called to the carpet and don't like that a mirror has been put before you. This is great fodder for my Masters thesis. This case along with the Michael Jackson Trial, Runaway Bride, Eliz Smar, Laci Peterson among others and how people are addicted to them on blogs, websites and message boards. The internet has replaced the old gossip culture over the back fence, at the hairdressers/barbershop, church social or local tavern.

IS A TROLL SPREADING FALSE RUMORS POMPOUS ARROGANCE....

WTF..LOL...Someone actually would hit the post button after typing this!?!

[alw]

Fox news is starting to piss me off....Breaking news...oh it's about the shuttle....Breaking news ....oh it's about pit bulls....yada yada yada

[Gale]

Anymore news?
DAN,
Thanks for the article from the Aruban newspaper!! We will continue to wait and see if this is true.

[amom]

callmebetty, my stepson lost his life in 1990 in another country, he was in the military. He first had to be ID'd and autopsy was performed in that country. He was released to us after they were done. Hope this helps. If this information is true with NH, let us all pray for the family. I think my family was in denial until we saw him. We need to respect the Holloway/Twitty privacy at this time. We will get the info when they are ready to release it. I personally had a tough time pulling myself together to speak to anyone asking for information. This is so much bigger. Let us all pray for the family.

[Kay]

Thanks Dan for the information! I pray that if she is dead that this is the find -- her family really needs closure! I pray for the Holloway/Twitty family for strength to get through this!

[Jo]

Wacky Theories,

You are doing the same thing everyone else is. Posting on the board when you could be doing something else...I say "guilty dog barks first."

[shyne235]

if anyone boycotts aruba, they are depriving themselves-- it is a beautiful, friendly, and unique island.
look in your own backyard, corruption and crime is everywhere. get over it.
if you find a place with no shady politics, corruption, drug problems, and crime, let me know. i'll join u there

[Gale]

WACKY THEORIES,
YOU have no clue. Many bloggers read here BEFORE Dan allowed us to post about Natalee. Many are true crime buffs who are interested in kidnappings and child molestations and murder. WHY are YOU here if you don't find Natalee's disappearence interesting?

[FloridaPatty]

Wacky speak for yourself, you don't know any of us either. I have a good friend who was born in Aruba. People LEAVE Aruba and move to other countries for a more promising life.

These people are here for the most part because they care about an incident. That incident has touched so many lives because it can happen to anyone, not just an 18 year old. That her mother had to come down there and pound the pavement herself, bring in her own private investigaters and pay for all of this herself because (yes they were) of a corrupt law system who was simply protecting one of their own, is sad and frightening.

Corruptness happens in my own country, my own state, my own county. Not to say I think Aruba is so horrible. A beautiful island. I felt such pity for a mother who only wanted her beautiful child home or to find where she was.

her bravery to stick to it until she got answers is honorable and courageous.

[kenny]

so why would they pump it out Reuben, after you just listed four reasons why her body is not
in the pond??????????????????????

[jadensmokes]

If they have not found the body, there are some very strong feelings that they will...

From Yahoo News:
Holloway's stepfather, George Twitty, who was at a nearby hotel waiting for results of the search, said police asked the family not to watch as they worked behind a fence to clear the water.

"It's the first time the fire department, the police and other authorities have collaborated on such a huge search," the stepfather said Wednesday. "So they must know something. ... There's so much commotion, they must have a lead."

[barneyfife]

wacky,
how long did it take you to write that? how many times have you scrolled up to read it? are you proud of yourself? you are the messiah. oh, gifted one with such wisdom, we are not worthy to blog with the likes of you. we are sorry.
listen clearly, you are a jackoff. and we dont care about your thoughts, you self loving punk. go look in your own mirrow and get aroused. you need to be slapped.

[SeattleGirl]

Has ther been any more NEWS on this front!!!????

[John]

There are some parallels between this case and the Schapelle Corby case which is currently transpiring in Indonesia/Australia.

This world is full of injustice and corruption. It makes me think twice about ever traveling internationally again. The Schapelle case is particularly disturbing.

[youpeoplearenuts]

barneyfife - that is hilarious. it was breaking news!

[ev]

We are not going to hear anything until the all family is notified. That means it won't be on until 6:00 PM if that. I hope she was found for her family's sake. Imagine what they have been through. God Bless Natalee

[alw]

what do you mean "could be doing something else" i just sent hate mail to jane fonda while shaving my legs;)

[SeattleGirl]

John,

I haven't heard anything about the Schapelle Corby case. What's disturbing about it?

[Aruba is for losers]

Stephen K Holstein, you are a fucking loser why are you pissed @ Tim? Direct your anger towards the 3 stooges they are the guilty ones

[FloridaPatty]

No news yet. FOX is still running their noon time show DAYSIDE and news for the missing pregnant mom in Philly. Search happening right now for this woman.

MSN is running the same story.

Nothing on Aruba just yet.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If she was buried in the ground, the mud/sand could have helped to preserve her body from rapid decomposition (this is an unpleasant subject I realize). I strongly hope that the U.S. is allowed to participate on the autopsy and send evidence to the labs in Quantico.

[youpeoplearenuts]

wacky so exactly why are you on here if you believe what you say

[JusticeforNatalee]

FYI--while everyone is waiting for confirmation--The John Walsh interview that Dan posted a link to is very informative.

[Shari]

coming up on Fox next

[Checkme]

Amom, I am sorry for the loss of your stepson 15 years ago. Terrible.
You are right about this case, it will take some time before they can bring out officially in the open that they have found her.
