Gone Missing: One Jamaican Beach
Travel Blog • Valerie Conners • 10.20.08 | 3:53 PM ET
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?

Textbook case for Dr. Beach. All they have to do is collect samples from every beach in the area, and send it to him. Case would be solved in minutes.
