Private detective Tim Miller, as he communicated on Dateline, went to Nicaragua and consulted with Marcos, who provided to go to the hiding location with a GPS tracker and search for the remains.
Instead, Marco vanished.
When Dave was gotten in touch with in 2016 by a guy called Gabriel, who stated he knew about Natalee’s stays, Dave asked T.J. to veterinarian the idea—as he’d made with numerous other supposed sightings, bits of details and eventually dead-end leads they’d gotten throughout the years.
“So we thought, well, maybe we’ve got something here, because I’ve had so, so many false leads, people who’ve just wanted to take you for a ride,” remembered Dave, who had actually likewise gone to Aruba in 2015 with T.J. to consult with yet another individual who incorrectly declared to know about Natalee’s fate. “I thought, OK, this may be a new lead… Let’s go on and see if we can develop it. That turned into a situation a little bit bigger than what I’d anticipated.”
It resulted in the enlistment of a production business which, most notably, would have the ability to offer resources for the substantial expenditure associated with going back to Aruba and carrying out yet another search.
