Dog was awakened to learn that his 23-year-old daughter, Barbara, was killed in a high-speed car accident in Alaska. Visibly devastated, Dog spent much of his wedding day praying with his family and his priest, trying to decide whether they should continue with their wedding plans. In the end, they decided it was best to not only honor their love for each other, but also honor his daughter. At the reception, Dog renewed his vows to his new bride but also renewed his fight against those who sell or use drugs. Barbara had used drugs for some time, and he desperately tried to help her quit. His speech that night was one of the most powerful and heartfelt messages I’ve ever heard.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>From experiencing the preciousness of human life to the spirit of animal life ... </p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>Several days later, I spent a lot of time swimming with the dolphins at Dolphin Quest, a truly amazing experience in which you get to see up close and touch these incredibly smart mammals. There are 10 dolphins in total at this pristine facility, ranging from 2 to 34 years old, including a 500-pound male appropriately named Lono, Hawaiian for “God of Harvest.” After all, Lono has fathered seven other dolphins! Getting so close to these dolphins was extraordinary, and I encourage any of you to have this unforgettable experience if you ever get the chance.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="1%" align="right" style="padding:5 0 0 15;"><tr><td><img border="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20060612203821im_/http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/2006/June/060605/060606_RitaDolphin_hsmall_blog_5p.standard.jpg" style="border:1px solid #000000;" align="Right" vspace="0" hspace="0" alt="IMAGE: Rita Cosby in Hawaii with the dolphins."></td></tr><tr><td><div class="credit" style="text-align:right;margin-bottom:5px;">Courtesy Dolphin Quest</div><div class="credit">Rita Cosby in Hawaii with the dolphins.</div><hr noshade="true" size="1" color="#C0C0C0"></td></tr></table></p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>We also traveled many hours to the other side of the Big Island of Hawaii, to the erupting volcano. Last time I did this, years ago, I’m sure I cheated death, since I came within a few yards of the lava spewing from the lava tubes. But this time, we were strongly and wisely urged to stay far away from the lava, since only a few months ago, they said a 40-square-mile area of land around the volcano site suddenly broke off one day. So park rangers would not allow even adventurous visitors like me to advance near the scene. Still, to see the lava flow into the ocean, causing large orange streaks visible to the naked eye from miles away, was quite powerful.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>This natural beautiful of our country will be etched in my memory forever, but even more so will be the resolute love in Dog’s eyes for his daughter.

Guido Weaver, 19, was arrested in Holland this weekend, suspected of helping in Natalee's murder. Reports say that Weaver worked at the casino in the Holiday Inn where Holloway was staying during her class trip to Aruba. Those of us who cover this case can only hope this new arrest will help bring justice for the Holloway family, especially as we near the one-year mark since Natalee's disappearance.

It was quite a strong statement to have Dave Evans, the newly charged co-captain of the Duke lacrosse team, and other lacrosse players, before the cameras. With his teammates and his high-powered lobbyist mother standing behind him, Evans said he had taken a private lie detector test that "proves his innocence." He also said, seemingly confidently, “I am innocent. Reade Seligmann is innocent. Collin Finnerty is innocent. Every member of the Duke University lacrosse team is innocent.” </p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>Today Evans told his story to the throng of cameras before turning himself in to the authorities.

And after today’s press conference, it seems as if the two sides are as contradictory as ever. </p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><em>Comments?

I interviewed Karenna Gore Schiff about her <u><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20060612203821/http://www.bookreporter.com/reviews2/1401352189.asp"><u>new book on nine dynamic American women</u></a></u> for the GE Women's Network Forum...and not only did I come away from the event inspired by Karenna herself, but I was also so happy to see how many women showed up to support each other and talk about issues facing women in the world and workplace. </p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>I was really surprised to learn how many still fairly unknown women throughout history have played key roles and were truly silent warriors fighting against all odds. One of the women that Karenna talked about was Ida B. Wells who fought against lynching and was even jailed herself to fight against the cause. She also talked about Mother Jones, who made a tremendous impact in the labor movement, despite the fact that her own husband and four young children had died from yellow fever. These women, still obscure to the average American, were real heroes, especially at a time when there were few women in leadership positions. </p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>After our discussion on the stage, so many of the women in the audience were able to stay for the reception and discuss issues in more depth. It is just so encouraging to see camaraderie among women, all encouraging each other, in an organization like this. I always believe the key to success is helping others succeed as well, and this event truly epitomized that spirit.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><em>Comments?

Aruban police have known about Tracy Allan’s narrow escape for almost eleven months, but are only doing something about it now. She told them she was almost dragged into this man’s car from the beach as he tried to sexually assault her. Why did it take so long for the authorities to take her story seriously? Only this week did they finally release a sketch of this man on a Dutch TV show that re-enacted what might have been the last hours of Natalee’s life.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>I spoke with Tracy on my show last night… she says she stayed at the same hotel as the Alabama teen and that the attack happened on the beach of that same Marriott hotel. That’s also the same beach where Joran Van Der Sloot claims he went with Natalee the night she disappeared. Tracy described her attacker as a clean-cut man who was wearing a long shirt with no other clothing. He physically tried to pull her to his car for several minutes and even threatened to hit her in the head with a rock when she resisted. Tracy is sure he was attempting to rape her...or even worse.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>It’s not clear whether Tracy’s frightening attack is linked to the Holloway case…could it all be a coincidence? Maybe. Should Tracy’s claims have seriously been looked into earlier? You bet. The Aruban authorities chased so many other leads, but seemingly brushed off this tip until this week. Now that the sketch has aired on Dutch and Aruban television on a show similar to our “America’s Most Wanted,” we can only hope Tracy’s story can shed some light on Natalee’s case. Already the Aruban government has received over 60 new tips in the case since the sketch aired. Now if only we could be sure they’ll all be investigated properly.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><em>Comments?

The Dutch show is similar to “America’s Most Wanted” and is hoping to jog the memory of any witnesses by re-creating the confusing events with actors, some who are even wearing the same clothes as the real-life players in the case. “America’s Most Wanted” is even collaborating with the Dutch show to air the special in the United States.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>After working on this case for so long, I was quite curious to see what information was included in the special… including new surveillance video of that car Natalee was last seen leaving in, a possible still anonymous witness, a Colombian man, who says he knows where Natalee is buried, and another witness who claims to have seen four men with shovels soon after the Alabama teen disappeared. The show also released a new sketch of a man who tried to attack a separate woman on the same beach…a woman we’re talking to tonight on our show. She did report the incident to authorities way back then.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>Despite all these details, in the end, does anyone think that this new TV special will jog anyone’s memory? Probably not... but if this project could help one person remember anything about this still-unsolved case, then it was well worth the effort. On my show, "Live and Direct," we were told that right after it aired in Holland and Aruba, at least fifty new tips came in to authorities. Again, if one of them pans out, then this would prove to be much more than a "dog and pony show" or last ditch attempt. Let's hope it surprises us all and starts some sort of breakthrough in a case that will soon sadly reach a one year milestone.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><em>Comments?

Mike Nifong came out and said that he’s still investigating the allegations made by an exotic dancer against three members of Duke’s lacrosse team, and that the case is “not going away.” We had been eagerly waiting for the D.A.’s reaction after the defense attorneys for members of the lacrosse team spent yesterday publicly triumphing the lack of conclusive DNA evidence against the players. The attorneys even encouraged the D.A. to drop the case. Also, almost a month after the African-American woman says she was sexually assaulted by three white members of the team, the players’ attorneys are now claiming that there are time-stamped pictures that prove that the woman looked beat-up when she arrived at their door. But why didn’t they point to these pictures as evidence earlier? And why are they not releasing these photos right away to the press?</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>All of this leaves us with the question…is there other evidence that has not been released that is helping the D.A. keep the case going? </p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>I spoke exclusively with the alleged victim’s father, right after he broke the news to his daughter about the inconclusive DNA.
