The Holloways apparently have $1,000,000 in a trust acccount in Alabama as reward money for finding Natalee alive.
When all hope is gone, this money can be put to good use. It can be used to form an organization devoted to preventing disappearances such as Natalee's.
The first thing that should be promoted is to have all high schools teach students, particularly young girls, methods of self defense.
Had Natalee been trained, she might have been able to disable her attacker by jabbing her fingers in his eyes. This would have ended his attack instantly. Of course, this should only be done when one's life is at stake, since it can permanently blind a person.
A gentler method is to pretend to have some dread disease such as AIDS.
Some method of finding disappeared persons needs to be developed. We have radio transmiters to track wild animals. We also have the Lo-Jack system for cars. Why not a system for humans?
A small transmitter that a girl or child can trigger with a code to transmit an RF distress signal would help. It should contain a transponder that can give their location when they are missing.
Eventually a tiny implantable transponder might be developed. An attacker could not remove it, and it would revela the missing person's location.
We might even
