Tim Miller, the founder and director of Texas EquuSearch, checks a night vision camera, June 22, 2005, in Dickinson, Texas.
EquuSearch was sending volunteers to Aruba to begin a hunt for Natalee Holloway at her family's request. The organization planned a full-scale, round-the-clock ground and water search with trained divers, night vision goggles and sonar equipment, EquuSearch volunteer Joe Huston said. The search-and-rescue group has an admirable history of success: In 450 searches for missing people, it has found its target 70 percent of the time.
