Where did all my disk space go?

OK, so I have this RHEL3 linux machine. Doing a df -h produces this result.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                       66G   51G   12G  83% /
/dev/sda1              99M   39M   56M  41% /boot
none                  3.0G     0  3.0G   0% /dev/shm


If I do a du -sh /* on the file system I get

7.0M    /bin
33M     /boot
168K    /dev
8.0K    /du.sh
8.0K    /equallogic_vol1
58M     /etc
1.6G    /home
56K     /images
8.0K    /initrd

21M     /sbin
8.0K    /selinux
8.0K    /srv

20K     /storybooks
0       /sys
2.5M    /tmp
5.5G    /usr
1.6G    /var


According to the df -h I am using 51GB of space, but if I look at the du -sk it hardly makes up 15GB including including /proc (not sure if I should count that or not). Where the heck did the other 30+GB of disk space go, is there a way I can figure it out? I had a couple friends recommend me rebooting the box which I did and nothing changed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

TIA.
