SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - An official on the Caribbean island
of Aruba says a private investigator searching for clues that could
help solve the mystery of a missing Alabama teen is preparing to
wrap up his latest search.
Ruben Croes, president of the Aruba Search and Rescue
Foundation, says U.S. investigator Fred Golba will end his probe of
the garbage-strewn retention pond on Tuesday in the search for
Natalee Holloway.
A team of volunteers, including Croes and his son, have helped
the tracker dog specialist from Chicopee, Massachusetts, probe the
muddy bottom of the 250-square-meter pond since last week.
Holloway, from Mountain Brook, Alabama, was 18 when she was last
seen leaving a bar in the Aruban capital on the final night of a
high school graduation trip. No trace of her has been found despite
extensive searches.
