He lives near the beach in Aruba, and claims he saw Joran Van Der Sloot AND his father, Paul, together the night Natalee Holloway disappeared – near where she is believed to have disappeared…..I find his story credible – what do YOU think?

Father of Natalee Holloway suspect dies
Published on 11 February 2010 – 9:36am
Media on Aruba are reporting that Paul van der Sloot, the father of the main suspect in the Natalee Holloway disappearance case, has died.
Joran van der Sloot’s father collapsed on Wednesday evening when playing tennis at the Tierra del Sol estate on the Dutch Caribbean island. Emergency service staff were unable to resuscitate him. Paul van der Sloot was aged 57.
His son Joran is still suspected of involvement in the disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway on Aruba in May 2005. The case was brought back into the limelight when crime reporter Peter R. de Vries secretly filmed Joran van der Sloot claiming that he had dumped Natalee’s body in the ocean. The potentially incriminating statement was not accepted as evidence by the court.
Denial
The suspect, who is living in the Netherlands, was interviewed by Aruban police in Rotterdam early in 2008 and declared persona non grata shortly afterwards, making it practically impossible for Joran to return to Aruba.
Joran’s lawyer says that the TV admission was untrue; his client had only wanted to impress the man he was talking to, trying to gain some credibility in the crimininal world.
Later in 2008 the Fox TV channel in the US broadcast an interview with Joran van der Sloot. He told interviewer Greta van Susteren that he had sold Natalee Holloway on the beach to a Venezuelan for 10,000 dollars. The man was apparently looking for a blond sex slave. In the interview, Mr Van der Sloot also claimed that his father Paul had bribed policemen on Aruba to the tune of 50,000 dollars. These statements, too, have not been taken into account by the legal authorities.
Trainee judge
Paul van der Sloot, a lawyer who was training as a judge on Aruba, was repeatedly interviewed by the media in connection to his son’s alleged involvement in the case. It has never become clear to what extent Mr Van der Sloot knew what Joran’s role may have been.

Prayer Request for Georgeann Miller, Wife of Tim Miller
Posted on 03. Feb, 2010 by smckinney in Featured Articles, TES News,
02/03/10 — Tim Miller’s wife, Georgeann, has been diagnosed with the dreadful illness bone cancer. She and Tim are now making preparations for her much-needed treatments at one of the finest facilities in the world. Tim and Georgeann will let us all know when they decide they are ready to accept visitors or calls. Tim is devastated, and he is not really able to give his concentrated efforts to Texas EquuSearch at this time. We have counted on Tim to make many of our search decisions for years, but naturally, right now, all of his thoughts and concerns are about Georgeann. Tim will be contacting some of our various members and other TES associates from time-to-time, but he does not wish to receive any calls whatsoever at this point. He has been the Founder and Director of this organization for more than ten years … and he still rightfully remains so. He has specifically requested that no persons attempt to contact him by phone – or by any other means. Everyone will know when Tim feels he is ready to return to work. Let’s all please respect and honor his wishes, and let others know likewise. Any updates will be issued through this office. Tim has prayed for hundreds if not thousands of people during their time of need over the years. Now it’s time for all of us to pray for Tim and Georgeanne in their time of need. If you wish to leave you thoughts, prayers and well wishes, please leave a comment on this post. We will make sure Tim and Georgeann get them all. Thank you so much.
All of us at Blogs for Natalee send our thoughts and prayers to the Miller family.
Remembering Natalee at Christmas

CLINTON DEVON NELSON
By his mother, Carolyn Johnson
On August 9, 1985, Clinton Devon Nelson came into this world screaming and bruised. I was young and it had been a very difficult pregnancy and delivery; but this was one of the happiest days of my life. I used to joke about my son being born with bumps and bruises and, as it turned out, he had perpetual bumps and bruises the rest of his life. Clinton was always accident prone and always taking risks His thrill-seeking side took him down many paths; some I would not have chosen for my son. He was not a follower…he was a trailblazer. He never took the easy route and the paths he chose usually led him to more bumps and bruises. At times, Clinton would struggle as he grew and felt he did not fit in with the family. I disagreed…as he was the energy and part of the heart of our family. He loved to make us laugh.
When Clinton was 20 years old, he moved to Louisiana to reconnect with his biological father and his family. His father had given up all custody rights when Clinton was a little boy. I was most concerned about this move, because his father had led a completely different lifestyle than the one I had provided for my son.. I had hoped that his father had changed and that he would work with me in keeping Clinton on a healthy path; hence enabling his growth and strength.
A few months after Clinton’s move to Louisiana, he was hired to work on an oil rig. He was so pleased and very proud. He loved the thrill of this new job (often times dangerous) and the money he earned. He had dreamed of eventually becoming a Driller and, had he lived, would have accomplished this dream.
On the evening of September 1, 2006, while visiting with a friend, I was suddenly overcome with a most sickening feeling. I immediately felt something was wrong and I knew it involved my son, Clinton. I debated about calling him, but decided not to bother my independent 21-year-old with unfounded worries of his mother. Two days later (September 3rd), I received a call from Clinton’s biological father, asking if I had spoken to my son. He told me Clinton was missing; that no one had seen him since Friday night. The local police, according to his father, refused to file a missing persons report in hopes he would eventually show up. After several attempts, a report was finally submitted only after Clinton did not show up for work. This was the beginning of a nightmare that will never end!
Approximately one week later, I received another call from Clinton’s biological father. He proceeded to tell me that law enforcement suspected foul play and that they had activated cadaver dogs in a search of the woods. I literally fell apart; I could not breathe. My son is missing and now presumed murdered! I immediately placed a call to the local police department and left a message for the detective to return my call. Within a short time, I received that return call. I repeated the information that I had received from Clinton’s father. The detective rebuked this information; indicating they did not suspect foul play and there were no searches being conducted. He further suggested that.. “Your son is a young man. He is probably shacked up with some girl and he will turn up.”
It has been three (3) years since the disappearance of my son, Clinton. There have been so many conflicting stories/theories and so-called witnesses . But, one story stands out above all the others; that Clinton was the victim of a robbery and beating, which resulted in his death. The local law enforcement reports that even though there is no evidence of foul play, they speculate that foul play was involved and the case remains an open investigation. There have been three (3) searches conducted by Texas EquuSearch, but to no avail. My son is missing and I have no answers! I do believe my son is dead, foul play is involved and the people responsible are still out there…perpetuating constant agony and pain for my family.
If anyone has information regarding the disappearance of my son, Clinton Devon Nelson, please contact Detective Charles Owens, Bossier Parrish Sheriff’s Office at (318) 965-2203.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Johnson
Natalee ~ Missing 52 Months
By Lousw, BFN Member
Another month has come to an end once again without knowing what really happened to Natalee or where she may be at this time. 1,585 days of wondering, waiting, hoping that someone would come forward with the truth and end this horrendous situation.
Although it has been so long, there is one thing that I still have and that is Hope. To lose Hope would mean that I concede to defeat – that I give up on Natalee – and that is something that I can not and will not do. Beth has stated her feelings about Hope and I can not agree more. She said, “Hope is a universal message that gets us through the times that are ahead” … “Hope is what keeps me going. You have to keep hoping for the future.”
The reality is that life must go on, but that does not mean that you should not remember. Beth says that not a single day goes by that she does not think about Natalee. I don’t call that a compulsion or obsession, I call it a feeling from the heart. Natalee is in our hearts and will be there forever and we will not forget.
I have put together a small scrapbook about Natalee. I will try to add to it from time to time. The final page of this scrapbook, however, has not been entered and will not be until Natalee is found and brought home. I do have Hope that I will be able to enter that final page.
