Search Continues for Missing Minnesota Man

June 14 2005

A 22-year-old Hastings man is feared dead after disappearing over the weekend

Joshua Snell was in Eau Claire, Wisconsin attending a wedding when he disappeared.

Authorities think he may have slipped into the Chippewa River.

A fire department dive team was called in Tuesday to assist in the grim task of searching for Snell’s body.

Eau Claire Police Lieutenant John Arnette says Snell was last seen leaving “Brother’s Tavern” in the Old Towne area early Sunday morning.

“We were able to locate a shirt that was identified as Josh’s shirt, “says Arnette.

Two shirts belonging to Snell turned up in Owen Park which is on the west bank of the Chippewa River. A bloodhound pointed searchers to the part of the river that divers searched on Tuesday.

Arnette does not suspect foul play, “It’s pretty dark at nighttime. They can get confused, disoriented. They get in the water and they might think they are coming back to shore when in reality they are moving to the middle.”

Arnette says at least twice a year, someone walks into this river and doesn’t come back.

“The one common denominator is alcohol. People indulge and they get too much,” says Arnette.

The operators of a dam upstream have agreed to lower the water levels in the river to aid in the search for Snell, but Arnette says that won’t change the ultimate outcome.

Police in new search for missing Alabama teen along beach

Posted on Tue, Jun. 14, 2005

ORANJESTAD, Aruba - Police joined by two FBI bloodhounds launched a new search on a beach near a Marriott Hotel on Tuesday for a missing Alabama teenager from Mississippi after a former security guard alleged that one of three youths seen with her had lied to police.

Antonius "Mickey" John, who was released from jail Monday, said he was detained in a cell adjacent to one of the young men and that the two spent time talking.

John, 30, said 21-year-old Deepak Kalpoe told him that he, his younger brother and their Dutch friend never returned to the Holiday Inn the morning of May 30, the day Natalee Holloway disappeared on this Dutch Caribbean island.

Instead, Kalpoe said they dropped the Dutch youth and Holloway off near the Marriott, about 10 blocks north of the Holiday Inn, John said. The area being searched, Malmok beach, neighboring the Marriott's Palm Beach, is a popular spot for picnics and family gatherings by day and is favored by lovers at night.

The two Surinamese brothers told police that the 17-year-old Dutch boy and Holloway were kissing in the back seat of a car earlier in the evening and that they had dropped her off at the Holiday Inn where she was staying.

Holloway, 18, vanished hours before she was expected at the airport to return home after a vacation with 124 classmates and seven chaperones celebrating their graduation. Her U.S. passport and packed bags were found in her room.

No one has been charged in the case, and lawyers for the three men still in custody and the two freed men all say their clients are innocent. Lawyers for the three young men did not return messages seeking comment Tuesday.

Police on Tuesday cordoned off several blocks in front of the Marriott Hotel and a patch of swampy tropical vegetation beside it, and government spokesman Ruben Trapenberg confirmed it was yet another search for the teen from Mountain Brook, Ala. A couple of the teen's family members arrived, and fire trucks pumped water from the swampy area.

The search ended as darkness fell, apparently with nothing found.

In Mountain Brook, a family spokeswoman said she had not seen live TV coverage of the search.

"I'm not even watching it. I just can't," Marcia Twitty said.

Reporters from local radio station Top 95 launched their own search before police arrived, and found and gave to police a pair of torn pink-and-white polka dot panties and three condoms, two of them used, said one of the journalists, Albert Vrolijk.

He said they also found some duct tape wrapped around a tree.

"The whole beach area is a place where couples go," said Tourism Authority managing director Myrna Jansen-Feliciano. "It could be anybody's" panties and condoms.

Police declined comment on the finds.

After Holloway disappeared, U.S. authorities sent FBI agents and divers to help in the search.

The release from jail of John and another former hotel security guard, Abraham Jones, 28, came after the teen's mother, Betty Holloway Twitty, told The Associated Press she believed John and Jones were innocent but that the three other youths should be pressed to tell the truth.

"I knew from day one that I was innocent," John told The Associated Press after his release from detention that began June 5.

John and Jones were detained after the three young men said they dropped Holloway off and last saw her around 2 a.m. being approached in the parking lot of her hotel by a man in a security guard uniform.

John said Kalpoe told him that about an hour after dropping the couple off he received a cell phone text message from the boy, saying he would e-mail Kalpoe as soon as he got home.

Kalpoe said the Dutch boy never sent the promised message, John said.

Attorney General Caren Janssen refused comment on John's statements.

Holloway Twitty said if she did not see results soon, she might start to believe authorities were trying to protect the young men, who told police they took Holloway to a beach after an evening of dancing and drinking.

The Dutch boy is an honors student at Aruba International School and is the son of a high-ranking judicial official in Aruba.

"All three of those boys know what happened to her," Holloway Twitty said Sunday.

The Dutch Caribbean island is governed by a local parliament, and the Netherlands Antilles is responsible for foreign and defense affairs.

One murder and six rapes were recorded last year on the island of 97,000 people. This year there have been two murders and three rapes.

I found this post on another board in reference to Natalie - missing in Aruba. Who knows if it is legitimate.

____________________________________________
It is kind of circus down there of miss information that is being leaked out to the Media. I am giving clues if authorities care to follow them that would be great. I hope this comes this all comes to light.
The kids are not telling the whole truth about where she is because the farther away from the where she actually is the better it is for them. I do think that they are giving the authorities tidbits of information . The 17 year old white male had had sex with her on the beach that night and those are her panties that were found. The other two forced themselves on her against her wishes This expalins the three condoms on the beach. She then got angry with all of them Natallie was going to tell the police what had just happened. The white 17 year old male got angry as did the other two. They panicked and drove her out to a remote location on the other side of the island where nobody lives That would be the Arikok National Park. There they pulled into a car parking area not far from the Prins Plantation and caves hiking trail. That is where the comfrontation occured Natallie being scared started to fight wanting them to take her back home There was a physical confrontation between the white 17 year old male and Natallie. The two brothers were there but did not participate in the stangulation The 17 year old white male is the one who ended her life that night. They all participated in the burial of Natallie in this location I described earlier in one of my posts. Here is the map of that possible location. This is a location that needs further attention to be searched by dogs if need be. Here is a map with the Cross of the exact location to check. Click on map for detail. Many of you may think that I am out there maybe or maybe not. Scenarios are easy to follow once you put the clues and puzzle together.

Friends, Family Hope for New Leads in Missing Person Case

Jun. 14, 2005
Coco Warner Reporting

It's been nearly four and a half years since Janis Stavros went missing, and even though the case has gone cold, her family and friends hope a new billboard campaign will spark new leads.

Right now you can see the Stavros billboard from Northbound I-15 at about 2800 South. Reagan Advertising donated the sign, which features Janis's photo and some contact numbers. Janis's loved ones are hoping somebody will see this billboard and add anything to this case.

Forty-three-year old Janis Stavros, along with her boyfriend and daughter, had dinner at Mike Stavros's home Tuesday night, January 2nd, 2001. That was the last time Mike saw Janis. Her friends and family tried to locate her over the next few days before finally calling the police.

Mike Stavros, Janis's Ex-husband: "We just never turned anything up. And the police seemed to come up with dead ends everywhere they turned. And it's been, it was like she went out to check the mail and never came back."

Leads led nowhere, the case went cold. But Janis is still missing and her loved ones are missing her.

Mike Stavros: "I have a wonderful girlfriend at this point, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about Jan."

Shawn Harris, Family friend: "So many scenarios run through your head, and none of them are a good one, you know?"

So Shawn created a website devoted to Jan this past year, and after the police officer assigned to the case transferred into another police department, out of frustration, Shawn decided to get a billboard made for Jan.

Shawn Harris, Family Friend: "Me being in outside sales, I'm driving up and down the freeway constantly reading billboards. And one day I just thought, you know I'm going to do a billboard for Jan; let's see what it takes to do that."

Mike Stavros, Janis's Ex-husband: "The case is cold; it's getting reviewed by some clerk who puts it back into the file and we don't want that to happen, we want to find Jan. We want to know what happened."

If you have any information regarding this missing person's case, please contact the Salt Lake Sheriff's Office.
