NATIONAL SHERIFF'S ASSOCIATION JOINS HOLLOWAY INVESTIGATION
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- More than 3,000 law enforcement agencies across the United States are volunteering to help find Natalee Holloway. One of the largest law enforcement groups in the U.S., the National Sheriff's Association, has decided to join the investigation into Holloway's disappearance eight months ago.
The association is sending the Aruban government an official letter."We would like to see transparency in that investigation and also reach out to offer resources that local law enforcement agencies might have," said Ted Sexton, president of the National Sheriff's Association. The association can pool the resources of more than 3,000 departments.
Sexton said that its members have a collection of some of the best technology in the world. The association is offering to Aruba soil-penetrating sonar, expert dive teams and deep water equipment."We want to bring those crimes to a finalized settlement, whether it be a criminal case or whatever it may be," Sexton said.
Aruban leaders have finally signed off on a request from Texas Equusearch, a company that wants to bring in special diving equipment so it can search the waters near Holloway's hotel by going down as deep as 1,000 feet.
Some have a theory that someone might have sunk Holloway's body to the ocean floor in a heavy crab trap. After negotiating with Aruban leaders for several days, Equusearch's Tim Miller said, "The Aruban authorities will help in any way possible and are interested in finding Natalee."
Aruban detectives are continuing to comb an area of sand dunes that is about eight football fields long. Holloway's mother, Beth Twitty, said police recently received a tip about a coastal area near the California Lighthouse. Twitty said she is guardedly optimistic. "Aruba has done things in the past just to look like they're doing something. I hope this search is warranted and credible and not an exercise in futility," Twitty said.
Aruban detectives began searching near the California Lighthouse Monday. Twitty said investigators did not search Tuesday, but will start again Wednesday.Texas Equusearch hopes to get the deep water diving equipment onto the island by late next week.
