Dave Holloway has been waiting for 2+ years for this search. Even with all the equipment and qualified personel it is still a shot in the dark.

His analysis of the emails and other writings advanced theories already in play. A lot of research and time has gone into this mission. Sure, this type of science is relatively new. Remember that once upon a time surgeons balked at the idea of microscopic bacteria and thousands of patients died as a result. Now surgeons scrub and wear gloves.<BR/><BR/>Let's not be so critical of this new and exciting science you call, "pseudo-science." I am fairly certain Dr. Hodges has a greater level of education in psychiatry than yourself.<BR/><BR/>It is possible that Natalee may not be in the ocean, though many of us feel this is unlikely. The mission, whether they are successful or not helps in the fact that they can more or less "rule out" certain areas of the ocean if she is not located there.<BR/><BR/>You are completely discounting the human factor. The Holloways love and miss their daughter very much. Sensitive and loving people who have advanced ocean exploration skills (crew of Persistence) are willing and happy to give their time to this family.<BR/><BR/>Many fundraising efforts went into this planning as well. People ask all the time about "other" missing people and why is so much time being devoted to finding this person. Well, the answer is easy.... Her parents and friends never gave up hope. They worked their tails off to collect donations to pay for this effort. <BR/><BR/>Most parents at some point give up hope, realize their child is gone, and move on. I would only hope that if I were lost, my parents would devote this type of dedication and effort to finding me.<BR/><BR/>Good luck in your continued efforts Persistence!<BR/><BR/>Boston, MAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300940444130343140.post-51832090002219190902008-01-11T09:21:00.000-05:002008-01-11T09:21:00.000-05:00What is the status of the search?

On his website you can read where he refutes that completely: <BR/><BR/>http://forensicthoughtprints.com/default.aspx?200819 <BR/><BR/>According to Hodges and he is quite detailed about it, the search is entirely based on his pseudo-science conclusions about the cage from his nonsensical deductions from three Deepak emails, which really told nothing more that the statements he also gave to the police (now published). Typical of the Hodges' logic? That when Deepak speculated that Natalee might have ended up in a crack house that he was referring to a fish trap (crack meaning the slots in a trap and house defining the cage). Hodges gives a time-line which simply doesn't fit with known phone and computer records. That's just sad and sick. <BR/><BR/>Even sadder is that the trip has been funded and guided by this kind of distorted reasoning. I'm sure you can't publish this. You seem to be a nice person, a logical man, but to associate your own credentials with the likes of this without some kind of public distancing is, in my opinion, a mistake. The police said that their investigations revealed that no fish trap was stolen. Hodges in this recent statement says he was able to find one of the fisherman, who told him that the trap wasn't actually stolen in a break-in, but that it was just being stored outside the huts and was just missing. That's not only a major change in the long told rumor (that it was taken in a break-in), but, none of these fisherman ever told this to the police (it's not in any of their statements to the police). Hodges appears to be an opportunist who has now made up new information just to serve his own interests. I honestly, feel sorry that a person of your character has become involved in this grand charade. Hodges is an evil, cruel man to do this to Dave Holloway and all the people involved with your search.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300940444130343140.post-39214084088855090202008-01-09T22:15:00.000-05:002008-01-09T22:15:00.000-05:00Good to hear the seas are better. hope everyone fe...Good to hear the seas are better. hope everyone feels our prayers and good wishes,as well as our appreciation of your search and sacrifice of time away from loved ones.
