I imagine you've by now read or heard the reports of a barrel in the water / sand. I found out through email but had to hang back on posting as I'm not quitting my day job anytime soon. Hard to imagine going to the trouble of using a barrel plus the concrete, yet leaving it right at the Marriott. I imagine commenters are asking how far that is from any construction site. I know that's what I'm wondering.
Just finished a call in interview with this fellow from Fox6 WBRC in Birmingham. Seemed like a very nice guy. I'm unsure as to when or if it will air. I'm just trying to get out of the office right now.
Regular readers may know this gal. See, reading a web log can make you famous ... though I guess the hurricane might have played a role, too.
MABLETON, Ga. - Mary Anne Lunsford was up before dawn Monday watching television news about Hurricane Dennis, rain from the storm pouring outside, when her dog Lucy jumped in her lap. The dog's feet were wet.
God bless MA - hang in there. ; )


Hang in there Mary (!)- thinking of you and your family!

Why would someone fill a barrel with concrete, anyway? What would be the reason?

55-gal. drums filled with cement are used to anchor rafts.

One look at that barrel should have persuaded Texas Equuasearch to leave it alone. The extent of corrosion and depth of sea life build up suggest some twenty years of submergence.

The media reporting on this case is nuts. That thing looks an old bouy cement anchor that that had been in deeper water for several years.
Posted by: Blue Dog | Friday, July 15, 2005 at 08:24 PM
Forget the cement anchor. What I want to know is when the cellphone tracking of Deepak's cellphone (on the night/morning Holloway went missing) shows that he really got home the LAST time. They leak that Joran's cellphone shows he got home at about 4pm. Why hold back the Deepak informantion. Is that more critical information than the Joran info.?

Hello Dan I am a person who posts on political teen. Do you know why we cant access the site. I am impressed with the inside the scenes information you are bringing. Just have became familiar with the people posting on Ians site. Dont know what good this will do. Hope some of them show up here cause this link was provided when I first signed on this morning . Then I cant get back to the site. max

Tim,
I feel that this is all a big cover up and that if there is a possible way that the police and lead investigator and whoever else this leads to should be invetigated. I myself who and who you have to go through to do thid but my idea is for the hollaways to involve our FBI on a cover up in Aruba and get to the bottom of it. We do much undercover investigating and this is where I feel the answers lie.
With all the not following leads and the constant wild goose chaseses I would bet when people walk up to equaserch and have them run someplace else people should stay behind especially in the park area where it seems this happens to equasearch allot and do a more feverent search there.
Let the under cover agents have all that Beth have and send young and old agents. Lots of young guys do lots of talking to impress young girls.
We do secret investigations all the time and I sure our FBI will help her out or cia as I say I do not know who handles this.
Just some thoughts

I know Ian's has been having issues with his access - it appears down to me to right now.

Hey Dan,
I've been reading the comments about your latest update on the Holloway case on the SM site. Totally rude and ignorant comments coming out of there. Just wanted to let you know I very much appreciated the update and find it relevant to have the facts about what what was going on in the hours leading up to Natalee's disappearance. Since when is that kind of solid information irrelevant?
Thanks again for your excellent research and updates.

Has anyone thought of having a psychic come in to help solve the case? I was watching a show on Court TV where they used psychic Noreen Renier who helped them solve the case. She was right on with everything.

It is interesting that he was planning on "having sex with her" before they even left the cassino. Yet, he states he didn't have sex with her because he didn't have any condoms and wouldn't have unprotected sex.
