Gone Missing: One Jamaican Beach

It appears that hundreds of tons of sand were stolen from a Jamaican beach in July—the equivalent of 500 truckloads, in fact. The case has all the makings of a tropical CSI episode: an apparently brisk Jamaican sand-mining trade, forensic sand tests being done on nearby beaches and whispers that folks in the tourism trade could be involved. A cover-up is now suspected. You think?
