TIP TO SEARCH LIGHTHOUSE AREA?


Personally, I think the lighthouse story was a ploy concocted by Daddy Van der Sloot to throw investigators and Natalee's family off...I don't believe Joran and Natalee ever went to the lighthouse.


New leads have lead to investigators searching the tip of the island near the lighthouse. The search began near the Palm Beach area on the northern side of the island Monday morning and expect to work until Tuesday night.

A new lead in the Natalee Holloway disappearance has started a
flurry of activity on the island of Aruba. Beth Twitty, Holloway’s mother, has confirmed reports that investigators are now acting on a new lead and searching the tip of the island near the lighthouse. The area is not far away from where Holloway was staying the night she disappeared.

Twitty said investigators began searching the Palm Beach area on the northern side of the island Monday morning and expect to work until Tuesday night."They've sectioned off areas of the sand dunes and this is warranted from an individual who has come forward with new information," said Twitty. "They evidently have been able to verify this witness is credible."

This new investigation is going on as members of the Texas-based Equusearch are negotiating for permission to bring in deep-water diving equipment to the island.


Twitty said Equusearch wants to explore deeper waters off the Aruban coast. Since Holloway's disappearance in May, there has been speculation that if she was murdered, someone may have sunk her body. The night that she disappeared, a fisherman reported his hut had been burglarized and a knife and fish trap were missing.




Holloway's family and friends said they need to rule out the possibility that her body has been hidden on the ocean floor. This search begins after the Aruban police commissioner revealed last week that Holloway might be in a fish trap dropped in deep water.
