ATLANTA, GA -- Dr. Phil McGraw of the "Dr. Phil" television show says he believes that missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway is alive and is now a sex slave.
Other experts believe that view is ridiculous, including private investigator T.J. Ward.
Ward says its know that Holloway left the Carlos 'n Charlie's bar after consuming 151-proof vodka, and probably had a date rape drug put in her drink by a bartender.
He says it happens all the time in Aruba.
Ward says the investigation was bungled from the beginning, because a prominent family, the van der Sloots were involved.
"They went out to the van der Sloot residence when Deepak (Kalpoe) was there, also van der Sloot. There was no evidence taken. There was no DNA taken. There was nobody taken into custody, their clothes were not taken, the house was not searched, the vehicles were not impounded, which is done in the course of an investigation," said Ward.
Ward has had paid investigators on the island since the disappearance. He says he does not believe Natalee was murdered by Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, the Surinamese brothers who were companions of Jordan van der Sloot that evening.
Ward says that he believes the drugs and alcohol caused her death.
"Apparently, after having sex with her and something went wrong, or she stopped breathing, or she had a heart attack -- whatever -- and we believe van der Sloot picked up the phone and called his father to come out there and help," said Ward.
Ward has done layered voice analysis of the elder van der Sloot, and says he gets a hit when van der Sloot talks about kidnapping Holloway.
Ward says he is no longer employed by the Holloways, but believes he will be able to deliver major results in the case soon.
"Probably within the next six weeks, I believe that we'll be able to give them some primary evidence of where Natalee is," said Ward.
He says he has been working with retired FBI agents and paid investigators on the island. And all believe Holloway is dead. And all say without a body there is no crime, and never will be any prosecution.
Ward won't say whether or not a body will be located within six weeks.
He says when all the books are written about this case, Aruba will have a hard time selling itself as any kind of paradise.
