DNA Testing on Hair, Twitty Doesn’t Know Anything (VIDEO)
DNA sample will be taken from hair found on beach:
ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Investigators said Monday they will conduct DNA tests on blond hair attached to duct tape that was found along Aruba’s coast to see whether it came from Natalee Holloway, the American who disappeared seven weeks ago.
Holloway has been missing in Aruba since May 30. Strands of long blond hair were recently found on a piece of duct tape along the coastline.
A park ranger found the duct tape while collecting trash Sunday on rocks at Boca Tortuga, an inlet near a series of caves on Aruba’s northeast coast, National Park Ranger Service spokeswoman Dilma Arends said.
Boca Tortuga is on the opposite side of Aruba from where the 18-year-old was last seen in public. Her father expressed little hope that the find would yield any important information.
“We’ve had a lot of information that turned out false,” David Holloway said as he prepared to leave Aruba and return home to Meridian, Miss.
Beth Twitty doesn’t know anything about the hair testing in the Netherlands or from the FBI.

Holloway Family Tapped By Local Lawyer
The parents of Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teenager missing in Aruba, have hired an Alpharetta firm to begin a private investigation.
The teen, who was in Aruba to celebrate her high school graduation, was last seen in Aruba six weeks ago.
“I was watching this case just completely start falling apart, and I felt bad for the family,” said T.J. Ward, a private investigator with the firm Investigative Consultants International.
Ward traveled to Aruba at his own expense earlier this month to meet with the Holloway family, and they then hired him to return this week to begin a private investigation.

I’m Back!
Hey everyone:
I apologize for the rediculous downtime I received on my server. It was not my fault and there was nothing I could do about it. Someone hacked my server causing me not only to get a new hardrive, but it was up to me to restore the data. My server company does not do this operation because they have some rule where no administrative services can be done on personal data. I understood and sought help from a few friends to help me out in the situation. Well $25 (very cheap for the service) and three days later my server is back up. Not to mention the money lost on the days the server was down.
Last week I had another problem with the blog with my Internet Service Provider (ISP). For some odd reason they were blocking Verizon users from viewing my server. Well long story short and 20 + hours on the phone, my server company was nice enough to change the IP of the server and everyone can view it now!
These two situations caused me not to blog and to lose visitors. I am glad to see people are back, however I would appreciate it if you all could find some way to send some visitors this way to help me out.
Also if you feel like contributing to help with the cost of the server and to recoperate downtime fees it would be much appreciated:
Thanks,
Ian Schwartz
