-- : Coincidentally Tim Miller of the Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team, whose daughter Laura was abducted and murdered in 1984, is in Aruba right now with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to assist in the search for missing Alabama student Natalee Holloway. Regarding Josh, unfortunately there’s no credible evidence that he got lost on the way to his dorm and sank into the mud on campus, despite speculation to this effect reported in the media and attributed to the local sheriff. I don’t know why the sheriff would say something as implausible as that, but perhaps it’s to avoid tipping off the suspect. But realistically, this is simply counterproductive, because (1) it discourages members of the public from coming forward with information (I’ve spoken with some of them) and (2) the suspect is no idiot and already knows the noose is tightening around him (though probably hanging on to the belief that members of the public will continue to be deterred in reporting what they know).
