Tracy Pollan to Play Beth Holloway in Lifetime TV Movie, The Natalee Holloway Story … As Aruba Hides Head in the Sand of Cover Up

 

Aruba you cannot hide your head in your sandy white beaches, Natalee Natalee_Holloway_121808Holloway’s story will be seen over and over and over … There is nothing like a good TV cable movie that has an unlimited shelf life to have people never forget what occurred in May of 2005 and the lack of justice provided to Natalee and her family.

Just when Aruba thought the Natalee Holloway story was going to go away, they will now have to face the fact that there will be a Lifetime movie directed by Mikael Salomon made of the events of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway and the subsequent botched investigation and cover up. Justice for Natalee … the further exposing of the corruption and nepotism that went on in Aruba to this day in providing a family no answers or “Justice for Natalee”.

The harrowing true story of a teenage girl who vanished while vacationing in Aruba is the backdrop of The Natalee Holloway Story, a Lifetime Movie Network original film about a mother’s search for truth and justice.

Tracy Pollan

Tracy Pollan, the wife of Michael J. Fox, has been tapped to play Beth Holloway in the Lifetime Movie Networks TV film, “The Natalee Holloway Story”. Tracy Pollan will play Beth Holloway, the mother of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway who went missing in Aruba in May 2005. The movie is based the book by Beth Holloway, “Loving Natalee: A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith.”

Pollan will play Twitty in the movie, which will spotlight her efforts to discover the truth about what happened to her daughter.

“Holloway,” from Sony Pictures Television, was written by Teena Booth. Judith Verno, Frank von Zerneck and Robert M. Sertner are executive producers, and Andrew Golov is a producer. The movie is set to go into production next month for an April premiere.

Coming soon to a TV screen near you will be the story of what happened to Natalee Holloway, the joke of what was called an investigation in Aruba and how the last three people ever to be seen with Natalee were allowed to get away without prosecution as Aruban law enforcement, prosecutors and officials turned a blind eye.

Joran Van der Sloot first said he lied about what had happened the night he was with Natalee Holloway because he was scared. That certainly did not stop him from lying to police and the media to this day. Lying is not a defense.

How do three suspects, Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe, go to a car 1/2 hour before closing, leave with Natalee Holloway, lie as to what they did with her and never be prosecuted for her disappearance and what is all but considered her death? What part did Paulus Van der Sloot play in the disappearance of Natalee? Why did the Aruban police arrest two black security guards just because the prime suspects told them to? How does admissions of guilt from Joran Van der Sloot wind up in no arrest or prosecution, but instead let him go free? Witnesses come forward that have passed polygraph tests that place Joran and Paulus out in the early hours of the morning and still no prosecution. Aruban officials have been handed a mountain of circumstantial evidence, inconsistent suspect statements, admissions of guilt and they still do not prosecute the case. Everyone at this point needs to ask why?

JUSTICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE BLIND, NOT CORRUPT.

Just recently Joran Van der Sloot admitted to kidnapping and human trafficking of Natalee Holloway selling her for $10,000. Joran than said he lied.

Just recently after years of silence Aruba’s Justice Minister Rudy Croes admitted that the Natalee Holloway case was messed up due to nepotism and that police commissioner Jan Van der Stratten obstructed justice in the case of missing Natalee Holloway. Shortly after Natalee’s disappearance in 2005, the Dutch police commissioner was overheard saying “I cannot do this to my friend Paul”. 

Also Dutch Parliament member Hero Brinkman went on the record and called the Aruban investigators of Natalee Holloway’s disappearance “Corrupt as Hell.”

BRINKMAN: They are corrupt as hell. VAN SUSTEREN: So… BRINKMAN: That’s what I say about Aruba.

BRINKMAN: He is a Dutch person, but he is very long within the Aruban society. And what Aruban politicians do, they drag you within their corrupt society. That’s what they do. And even if there are Dutch politicians, competent guys, it does not matter. If they are there long to stay, they will be dragged into that corrupt system.

      Me and my wife will always do something for Natalee.
      Holding each other tight.
      Hoping on the day of light
      Never think
      … without God!

      Someday perhaps Natalee returns
      with heavy gold
      that she had behind her
      … she has us to hold.;

      To this very day, I am still OUTRAGED at the way the Aruban/Dutch officials have mishandled the investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Ann Holloway!! Natalee and her family didn’t stand a chance of JUSTICE ever being served from day one on that poverty stricken, drug infested, lawless, third world Dutch protectorate :-(

      My heart felt thanks goes out to Lifetime for making this new movie.

      BOYCOTT ARUBA AND THE NETHERLANDS TIL HELL FREEZES OVER!!

      JUSTICE FOR NATALEE :-)

      Last Sunday I sent an email to Johan Remkes. He’s a Senior (and influencial) member of the Dutch Parliament (and Minister of Internal Affairs and Kingdomrelations in 2005) who a week ago voted against the Rijksrecherche doing a corruption-investigation at Aruba!
      Maybe it will open his eyes when he sees there will be a movie on Natalee’s disappearence soon that probably will be seen around the world and will exponentially damage tourism to Aruba.
      Maybe he’ll be inspired to do something (behind the scenes) to solve the Natalee Holloway-case when we all send him an email!

      j.remkes@tweedekamer.nl

    5. Susan on December 20th, 2008 12:58 pm

      Thanks, EURobert for the email address! I’ll be sure to contact him :-)

      Richard/Vicki – Do you all know if the schedules are out yet for next year’s travel shows? Do you all plan to attend? If so, I plan on making it next year to at least one somewhere here in the Southeast and being an active participate :-)

      In addition to me # 4

      Maybe it’s interesting for SM or SM-radio (Dana) to ask Johan Remkes (after the holliday-recess?) how he perceived all the things surrounding the Natalee Holloway case in 2005 and beyond. (He in the end was the responsible minister then.)
      And why he voted against an investigation by the ‘Rijksrecherche’ recently.
      In other words: have a small interview with him.

    9. HOPE on December 20th, 2008 6:11 pm

      Herman #1:

      I agree.

      Marriage is sacred. And it is through our love for each other that we receive blessings from above… our children.

      For them, we will seek high and low, just to know that they are safely at home, where they need to be. We yearn for their presence, even when they’re grown, for there is a special bond between us that nothing, not even time, can come between. A child’s tear, a mother’s gentle touch and the wise guidance of a loving father fit, perfectly, together.

      The love that The Holloways have shown toward their daughter is just as the love that God has for us. No matter where we are in our lives, no matter what we’ve done, He is always waiting to greet us back into his holy grace. And if he said, “Go to the mountain”, that’s where we’d be if, only, she were there.

      All they ever wanted was their daughter. Just to touch her one more time. Just to hold her, like she’s never been held before. To know that she’s here, not somewhere out there, anywhere but where she needs to be.

      All they’ve ever gotten is the wizardry of magic, the slide of the hand and the evil that comes from seeking out her weight in gold and silver; while they would give every single thing they own for the peace of mind that comes in knowing that their baby’s safe, at home. I will never forget the things that this child has taught to me. The power of prayer, the strength of His love and the discernment that comes with knowing, just, how heartless people can be.

      I have cried a thousand tears for a child I never knew… fought the battle long and hard. Ripped and torn, I’ve come to be; hopeless… But, one day, I will look up to my God and be able to say that I would do it all again, if only he would let the rain fall down upon the hearts of men; that they could only love, again.

      “Lying is not a defense” … hey, you’re talking about Aruba. Lying there is a way of life!

      EURobert, thanks for posting that e-mail address.

      To everyone who posts and/or reads here: Let’s PLEASE get coordinated and get writing! The Dutch delegation is going to Aruba and this movie is coming out … we can’t sit here and let events overtake us!

      Let’s get back to speaking up!

      And remember: a copy of every message to this effect should be sent to Aruba Tourism Authority, probably both in Aruba and in Holland. Rub their noses in the (dirt) that they have created.

      Susan (#5) … I have some info, courtesy of Crossbow, that I’ll try to get on here. Vicki will have it too, I believe.

      Remember, folks, the ‘informational’ e-mail is JusticeforNatalee@gmail.com. Let’s not just sit here and moan about the injustice … LET’S MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD!

    13. Mary UK on December 21st, 2008 4:32 pm

      I have just, fifteen minutes ago, watched an hour long documentery on Natalees disappearence on Aruba, i think this is the first time it has been featured on UK tv, i hope my fellow Brits are as disgusted with the Aruban authorities as i am. I have followed this case since the beginning the basic fact that they were quick to arrest the BLACK security guards while the last three guys to be seen with her were allowed to go free, speaks volumes. I think of Natalee and her family daily and keep them in my prayers, i would just tell them to keep faith, a local girl disappeared from the face of the earth seventeen years ago, due to unrelated cirdumstance her body was found a few months ago and a guy has just been convicted of her murder, i hope Natalees family get answers quicker than that girls family but NEVER GIVE UP!!!

      #9 Hope…I enjoyed your post. God is our strength.

      Dave and Robin could not have made it this far without HIM. This goes way beyond what a human being can mentally endure.

      I am sure Beth and Jug reached for HIM in this nightmare for courage and the strength, to go one more day for Natalee.

      I know people from all over the world prayed over Natalee and her family, for her to be found and go home safe.

      When this first happen, in my prayers I would ask God why He has not answered everyone’s prayers? The answer slowly came to me….she must be dead and the prayers meant a lot to God but it was to late, she had already gone from this world and into the next, which is a much better place to be in for eternity.

      I now pray for Justice and remind God every now and then.

      Its not for nothing. People seen how Dave acted in front of the cameras. That was for real, not an act. He was NOT full of hate and revenge. He just wanted his daughter back.

      Dave and Robin are not perfect people but are saved by the blood of Christ. I think they have shown the world how to live like Christ.

      We put this in God’s hands and wait to see what HE will do. Thank you Lord….AMEN

      Just wait until the Tourism trash shows up at NYC’s Javits Center to put on a travel show booth next spring. LOL.

      Hint: AHATA….really, save your money, your going to need it to distribute Care packages to your citizens who will soon be w/o jobs due to lack of tourism vistors. It never had to be that way at all….but you earned it and so you shall reap the pain.

      With this movie may come a little moral support from Hollywood. You never know what event will turn turn the tide.

    19. HOPE on December 22nd, 2008 1:43 am

      Wow!

      Mr. Holloway:

      Here is my answer to your post…

      What I have done is taken your post and filled in my answers. I hope that’s alright with you. It’s done alot on blogs so, please don’t take offense.

      *

      Dave and Robin could not have made it this far without HIM. This goes way beyond what a human being can mentally endure.

      *Absolutely*

      I am sure Beth and Jug reached for HIM in this nightmare for courage and the strength, to go one more day for Natalee.

      *Absolutely*

      I know people from all over the world prayed over Natalee and her family, for her to be found and go home safe.

      *Come home… yes*

      When this first happen, in my prayers I would ask God why He has not answered everyone’s prayers?

      *As have all of us.*

      The answer slowly came to me….she must be dead and the prayers meant a lot to God but it was to late,

      *It is never, too, late*

      she had already gone from this world and into the next,

      *Yes, that’s a possibility… she may be dead.*

      which is a much better place to be in

      *I prefer that she be alive*

      for eternity.

      *And no doubt, leaving the pain of the world behind, to wait for the day that we are all
      together, is to live in the safety of knowing, not, the suffering that goes on in this cruel, wicked and corrupt world*

      I now pray for Justice and remind God every now and then.

      *As do all of us*

      Its not for nothing.

      *Absolutely*

      People seen how Dave acted in front of the cameras. That was for real, not an act.

      *I wasn’t watching T.V. when those shows were on, but I don’t sense that there is anything fake about your brother*

      He was NOT full of hate and revenge.

      *Absolutely, not*

      He just wanted his daughter back.

      *As all have and do”

      Dave and Robin are not perfect people but are saved by the blood of Christ.

      *Absolutely*

      I think they have shown the world how to live like Christ.

      *Yes, we have learned to live like the Christ, many of us. Speaking for myself, I have come
      to know what being like the Christ means. I know the loving of God is the hating of bad. And, I have seen the suffering of the world because of the Christ, as well*

      We put this in God’s hands and wait to see what HE will do.

      *As do we*

      Thank you Lord….AMEN

      *

      Yes, Amen. I do leave it to God have rarely, lashed out with hatred or violence. It is the wicked one that lashes out with violence. I have never condoned violence against anyone. In fact I have fought against those that have called for race wars vigilantism and violent acts against others. But, I have learned to look at the suffering of mankind in a different way.

      I know we are living in the time of the end, but are we to allow corruption to exist when it means the death of hundreds of thousands of people? No. The Bible says, that it is because of the grace of God that the kings go on ruling and the judges go on judging. And we both know who is our real King and our only Judge. But, aren’t we to try to rid the suffering in this world, if we have a chance? Are we to stand idly by while thousands upon thousands of people are coming up missing each year, suffering horrible lives, tortured until the day they die?

      Joran has admitted to Human Trafficking. He has been caught trafficking women. Do you understand how many lives Natalee could save by making people aware of the ways in which people are trafficked and the crimes that are committed against them?

      When I look at Aruba, I see this:

      http://new.music.yahoo.com/singleVideo/?vid=2168574

      Where do you think those little boys are going to go?

      .

      If the Holloways, care no more, then so be it. Let us rejoice that Natalee is gone and doesn’t suffer, anymore. I can respect that.

      .

      Herman Vandijk?

      That comment was posted to you…
      Have you a comment to share?

    20. HOPE on December 22nd, 2008 2:24 am

      Light the Fires!

      Beat on those Drums!

      .

      Personally, I prefer pleading with the U.N. that Natalee Holloway was cheated out of justice by a corrupt government that launders drug money, participates in illegal drug trafficking and traffics women and children; like they’re merely a shell… all over the world. And they have the tape to prove it!

      Revenge?

      No. That’s not revenge. That’s saving hundreds of thousands of people; and maybe finding Natalee, in the interim. I will never lose my faith. It is with me ’til the end of my days. I believe in miracles… I believe in the power of prayer… and I believe that God does things in his own time. Where there is life, there is hope. Where there is death, only despair.

      God be with you, Steve.

      .

      @HOPE
      Thank you.
      And I hope to give you a comment real out of my heart.
      I have seen that movie a minute ago.

      I think it’s not alway easy yo understand what some means…
      And while we’re talking, you think: is he or she honest?

      When I was young it seemed that I had everything to go in music, or painting or even writing.
      I was always searching.
      Strange enough ending with God!
      For: He is my Father!
      And I have met the most famous people, coming over the radio or television.
      I thought: why not going to a bible school or take the way in the gospel music?
      Then… I got my lessons for free.
      God gives his blessings for free…

      After all I can say my life became one story until the last hour.
      Meanwhile I ask Him often if He wants to come back!

      I do not like to write about politics today.

      I rather want to express my feelings about Natalee.
      First:
      Even if she is three years gone
      that does not mean that she is not alive!
      I believe she is.
      And not in slavery…
      I believe she wants to be free (for the moment)

      I still have to wait for the day that my three suns are grown up and they are free to go to their father. -That also took me years.
      I know a lot of life on my own way.
      I don’t wanna give up hope!

      It all starts with HOPE!
      And we’ll get the answer
      … sooner or later my friend.

    22. Greg on December 22nd, 2008 8:27 am

      Aruba has done nothing but protect Joran Van der Sloot… They have played with all of us. The Netherlands needs to step up and start putting these thugs in jail. Their children are not safe vacationing in Aruba also. Wake up!

    23. Steve Holloway on December 22nd, 2008 8:31 am

      #19 Hope I did not say to give up only move in God’s timing. I have learned the hard way so I just wait and let God move me when its time.

    24. Mike on December 22nd, 2008 10:46 am

      This movie could help or hurt. Depending how they portray the events

    25. Mary UK on December 22nd, 2008 11:32 am

      HOPE #20 I tend to agree with you, i dont see why the Holloway/Twitty family cant approach the European Courts regarding the apparent botched/cover up that occurred on Aruba, i am also vexed at the underlying suggestion on internet etc, that Beth and Jug acted with anything other than absolute distress during the first months of this case, as a mother i can fully understand where Beth was coming from , i could NEVER have shown such restrain and taking the law into my own hands would have been VERY easy.

    26. HOPE on December 22nd, 2008 2:05 pm

      Mary #25:

      I agree, taking the law into your own hands is the easy way out and only results in more suffering. However, to exercise your rights under the law is the way to bring lasting justice.

      Steve #23:

      Thank you. I understand.

    27. HOPE on December 22nd, 2008 5:11 pm

      New clues in Natalee Holloway case – RNW News

      22-12-2008

      The public prosecutor’s office on the island of Aruba has received new tip-offs about Joran van der Sloot’s possible involvement in Natalee Holloway’s disappearance. In the light of the new information, Chief Prosecutor Hans Mos has decided to postpone a decision on whether Mr Van der Sloot will face renewed prosecution for his alleged role in the disappearance of 19-year old US teenager Holloway in 2005.

      The prosecutor’s office is reluctant to divulge details about the new tip-offs. Revealing the content would endanger the investigation, officials say. “Tips are still coming in, and it takes time to follow all leads. I expect we can take a decision about renewed prosecution in February,” a spokeswoman told the AD daily on Monday.

      Holloway telefilm

      Meanwhile the case of the disappeared woman has aroused interest in the film industry. The Lifetime Movie Network has signed actress Tracy Pollan to play Beth Twitty, the mother of Natalee Holloway, who untiringly tries to keep the affair in the public eye.

      Production of the telefilm is expected to begin in January, aiming at a premiere in April.

      JUSTICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE BLIND, NOT CORRUPT.

      Just recently Joran Van der Sloot admitted to kidnapping and human trafficking of Natalee Holloway selling her for $10,000. Joran than said he lied.

      Just recently after years of silence Aruba’s Justice Minister Rudy Croes admitted that the Natalee Holloway case was messed up due to nepotism and that police commissioner Jan Van der Stratten obstructed justice in the case of missing Natalee Holloway. Shortly after Natalee’s disappearance in 2005, the Dutch police commissioner was overheard saying “I cannot do this to my friend Paul”.

      Also Dutch Parliament member Hero Brinkman went on the record and called the Aruban investigators of Natalee Holloway’s disappearance “Corrupt as Hell.”

      BRINKMAN: They are corrupt as hell. VAN SUSTEREN: So… BRINKMAN: That’s what I say about Aruba.

      BRINKMAN: He is a Dutch person, but he is very long within the Aruban society. And what Aruban politicians do, they drag you within their corrupt society. That’s what they do. And even if there are Dutch politicians, competent guys, it does not matter. If they are there long to stay, they will be dragged into that corrupt system.

      *

      One thing that is undeniably true:

      Aruba is one place you don’t want to go.

      .

      Boycott!

      .

    31. Richard on December 22nd, 2008 10:32 pm

      Susan in Alabama (#28) … I sent that article to ScaredMonkeys earlier today, but (so far) it hasn’t made a separate thread.

      I’ve been thinking … in my mind, Aruba is probably (from THEIR OWN point of view) better off keeping things going indefinitely.

      Why do I say this?

      If Aruba closes the case for good (set aside the fact that we were told earlier that it had handed it over to the Dutch, and had no more responsibility for it, since neither of them seems capable of knowing much of anything), it will incur the wrath of people like us.

      Media will bring the case back to public attention yet again.

      Moreover, we were told at one point that if Aruba closed the case, attorneys for the Holloway family would have full access to the Aruba police files.

      Whereas … if Aruba continues to say “We’re still investigating” and never does anything, then that keeps it under wraps.

      Could this statement reflect the fact that (the last I knew) a team of Dutchies from the parliament of The Netherlands was planning to visit Aruba in January? Are there some backrooms negotiations going on? Are strings being pulled?

      Your guess is as good as mine….

      Excuse me for this biting accusation, but if she is married to Michael J. Fox, I’m about 95% sure she and Beth have zero with capital Z in common.

      That little shrimp was a good actor back in the day, and I loved the Back to the Future, etc.; but he now has the market corned on stupid is as stupid does.

      Great post! As always. (21.12.08/1.42 AM)
      It’s pretty clear to me too.

      Aruba!
      Arrest this creep, Paulus van der Sloot!
      And the whole rat pack!

      Paulus was the one, arrested for premeditated
      *********************************************
      murder!!!
      *******

      Deepack: “…unbelievable… your own father…”

      Paulus = Lawyer by “Carlo & Van der Sloot” Law Firm (homepage/email). Unbelievable!!

      Joran = scapegoat
      Dirty as his father!

      Aruba – Justice now!
      Netherlands – Justice now!
      Don’t trow the ball back and fort anylonger!

      Wish you all Merry Christmas!

    34. Dolf on December 23rd, 2008 4:59 am

      Richard,

      Dutch mp are visiting the Antilles (Aruba is not a part off) to talk about their wish for independence. (and financial support).

      Holland has some demands about that.

      a) fiscal responsibility
      b) transparancy
      c) no corruption

      Antilles are not happy with these demands, they just want our tax-euro’s with no strings attached.

      Aruba is already independent, only foreign affairs and defence are handled from Den Haag.

      Police and Justice is an internal Aruban affair.

    35. Richard on December 23rd, 2008 10:09 am

      Sorry, Dolf (#34), I don’t believe that the Dutch aren’t going to raise questions with Aruba about Natalee’s case and the other crime on the island.

      Maybe they’re not saying as much aloud, but I would like to hear what goes on in the backroom negotiations.

      And if “police and justice is (sic) an internal Aruban affair,” it puzzles me why Aruba last year said it was turning authority for the whole investigation over to the Netherlands.

      Not that I care much what Aruba says. Or believe ANYTHING that it says.

    36. Minky from CH on December 23rd, 2008 11:02 am

      # 34 Dolf
      If Police and Justice is an internal Aruban affair, then why did they sent Hans Mos?

    37. Susan in Alabama on December 23rd, 2008 12:48 pm

      # 31 Richard – I sent it to SM also :-)

      You are right!

      All the more reason for Aruba to keep up the pretense of an investigation. If the case was closed, and Beth and Dave’s attorney got ahold of the Aruban police files, all HELL would break loose!

      Who knows what the Dutch parliament will do about Natalee’s disappearance. Probably the same thing they’ve been doing all along, nothing :-(

      When you get the information in reference to the travel shows, would you please email it to me?

      BOYCOTT ARUBA AND THE NETHERLANDS TIL HELL FREEZES OVER!!

      JUSTICE FOR NATALEE :-)

    38. Richard on December 23rd, 2008 2:43 pm

      Posters have been asking for info on Aruba’s plans to appear at upcoming travel shows in the U.S.

      Here are the ones I know of (thanks, you-know-who, for supplying me this info) at this time. It’s not altogether clear which, if any, Aruba might attend.

      But judging from the past, these are likely.

      We know that at recent events, Aruba was represented by a kind of pan-Caribbean trade group, one which encouraged people to consider the Caribbean overall. Perhaps that was done just for reasons of economy, or perhaps it also reflected a hope that Aruba could grab part of the market without having to keep its name out there … and thereby getting protesters back.

      But we’re not abandoning our creed, so to speak.

      Here are the events that we are watching:

      St. Louis travel show, Jan. 31-Feb. 1
      New York Times travel show, Feb. 6-8
      Los Angeles Times travel show, Feb. 14-15
      Boston Globe travel show, Feb. 20-22
      Philadelphia travel show (now moved to a town called Oaks), Nov. 21-22

    39. Susan in Alabama on December 23rd, 2008 6:10 pm

      Richard – I checked out the New York Times Travel Show and ARUBA WILL BE THERE! According to the floor plan, Aruba is in Booth 424.

      Thanks for the posting the info :-) I know you’ll continue to keep everyone posted on future events.

    40. Waterboy on December 26th, 2008 8:06 am

      It is the day after Christmas, I’ve now been following the disappearance of this sweet little girl from Alabama for over 3 years. Why? I’ll try to sort my feelings, as many of you have at some point have tried to do.
      I check in on a semi-daily basis, and try to read most post. (If they are long like this one, I usually don’t read. Some posters, I always read.)
      I guess the thing that caught my attention originally was Beth’s determination to find Natalee. I just really admire Beth and I think she has a lot of guts. It would serve us all very well to have someone in our lives who carried that much.
      I don’t think that Beth has left any stone unturned. Problem is, someone else has already turned the stone, and placed the evidence under a new stone, or under a stone that has already been turned over.
      What should have been done to start with? Honestly, I think everything that could have been done was done. It sounds like Jug, bumped some heads, and you have to read between the lines to find this. Some of his friends from his interesting past helped. This needed to be done. I can’t think of anything else that I would have done. They didn’t have the luxury of 20/20 site, like we now have in hind site. If they had, some things would have been done differently. Like Jug has stated, he would have never let Deepak drive off in his car the first night. He’s convinced that Natalee was in the trunk. (I don’t know. I think so. If not definitely there was evidence.)
      Dave Holloway has to really be admired too. The things this man went through would be enough for 10 lifetimes.
      With Dave’s investigating background and skills, I think he would have found Natalee if forces had not been working against him at all points, and at each turn of the investigation. People should be in jail for what they did to Dave and Beth. I think in this country they would be.
      I won’t go to the landfill. I know everyone who reads my post thinks I’m headed that way, and I know no one believes me, so I’ll leave it as jus a mention and go on.
      If we, if Beth and Dave could have foretold the future, where would we be now? It is oblivious that Natalee would not now be missing. Possible she would not have gone on the trip, and if she had, she would have totally avoided Joran. This alone would have saved here life. Would Joran have found someone else? Yes, maybe not that night, but some other night. Maybe he has, maybe he will again. I think the chances are good. I’m at least 90% sure 80% of the time on this one.

      Sorry,

      I’m finding a lot of grammatical errors in my last post. Just read with out analyzing, and it will all make sense.

      I should have done a spell check.

      Jerry

    42. D Baxter on December 27th, 2008 8:53 pm

      WOW … YOU GUYS! I’ve just found this site, somehow from the Persistence search. Ya’ll are so appreciated. Beth – everyone needs a stength like her in their lives. How safe and secure we would feel! I believe she would fight for ANYONE she knows and loves. What a wonderful woman and mother. Jugg – wow, “the example of a real man”; a man any woman or family would trive under. Dave Holloway and Robin – that my two daughters could be raised in their home! And, because of these four men and women, Natalee will live in our hearts for the rest of the days of our lives!

    43. molly in houston on December 28th, 2008 12:33 am

      STEVE: I have been a Christian for most of my life. I still can’t believe how Dave and Beth have held on and stayed sane all this time. The Bible says that the peace of Jesus passes all understanding. That has certainly been true with Natalee’s family. My prayers for them and for justice continue. I told Beth that “God is not a man the He should lie.” God said that He is for justice. God also said that He is looking for people to intercede. Since God does not lie, I believe that He will bring justice for Natalee. The evil in Aruba is large, but our God is much larger and will prevail. Justice will prevail.

      Blessings,

      molly in houston

    44. a concerned citizen on December 28th, 2008 2:35 pm

      I pray for the Holloway’s to at least have closure and know what happened to their daughter, if they cannot have her back.

      Myself and my friends will stay out of Aruba until they have solved this case and prove that their corrupt authorities have been replaced with safe personnel. I can spend valuable time and enjoy other cultures that respect the sanctity of the truth and all human life. Joran, his father and any other person(s) involved in this case should either get the death penalty or life sentences with no chance of parole for manipulating justice and for the murder of Natalee. They did it, you know they did! GUILTY!!

    45. hermanvandijk on December 29th, 2008 6:09 am

      Dear Natalee,
      Wherever you are…I wish I could help you.

      I have seen you and I saw you’re pain.

      Enough is enough… remember?

      Dave and Beth
      … it’s you’re turn.

      Jesus said: forgive!
      Who are we?

    46. Vicki on December 29th, 2008 7:48 pm

      Awwhhhh. Joran van der Sloot…the OJ Simpson of his generation.

      What goes around, comes around and, eventually, he’ll get what’s coming to him. It’s just a matter of time.

    47. babyblue on December 30th, 2008 2:17 pm

      Dutch friends, is there any news of joran’s whereabouts? it’s almost like he has gone into hiding after the sex slave thing……..

    48. Mary UK on December 31st, 2008 11:17 pm

      Just thought i would drop in and send best wishes and prayers to Beth and family.

      I don’t know how many of you have seen this in the past. The Pictures alone are worth the side trip.

      I was going through my files on Natalee. I have thousands of pages. I’m sure Carpe, Crossbow, Richard, Molly, Vicki, and Roy (does not post any more) have more.

      Please if you are interested, take a look at this site. If you have time, it is worth the read.

    50. crossbow on January 3rd, 2009 6:43 am

      49 Waterboy;
      I could buy into Dr. Hodges (I have read his book twice); except you need the correct thoughts for thought prints.
      Deepak and Joran cannot settle on the same person. Deepak says Natalee the girl that Joran won money back. Unless Natalee was gamblimg and we are not aware then Joran talks of Natalee and Deepak talks as if it is Ruth.

    51. Waterboy on January 3rd, 2009 10:36 am

      Crossbow,

      I believe that Ruth McVey was Joran’s original target. I think he said somewhere that he liked her best. Maybe Ruth felt the heat and just left. (I think she had a boyfriend on the trip that would act as a hedge of protection.) I’m not real sure that she was at C and C’s. However, she is in the casino video.

      Maybe Joran chose Natalee because, like you have said, it was revenge. Why would he hurt someone he liked? Why would he hurt anyone? His mind is a twisted bundle of neurons. I think his primordial DNA calls him into a feeding frenzy at times.

      If I follow Dr. Hodges thought printing concept just a little, he says the references to the lighthouse means the crab cage. I say why could it not also mean a trash dumpster. References to the ocean could mean an ocean of trash.

      You have advised me to read the book. I need to do so.

      Hope you are doing well.

    52. Peter Patry on February 8th, 2009 9:37 pm

      My name is Peter Patry I am A Canadian Citizen

      I believe This is what I really belived happend to mrs.Nathalie Ann Holloway, She’s very much ALIVE Today because “think about it” for a minute Or secound, if there was A TRUE crime in this. they would have found forenzic evidence
      something by know if Nathalie was DEAD.

      It’s a big cover up Joran Van der Sloot, Sold
      Nathalie Ann Holloway for 10.000$ dollars to a
      Venezuelan man who ‘wanted a blonde girl’ at
      Tha time Jordan met that man at a Casino and
      he wanted a blond girl.

      Jordan is also involved in sex trafficking in
      Thailand as we speak. People!!! think about it
      This young lady is gorgious and very beautiful.

      The night Jordan met nathalie and her Friends at
      That BAR she was druged and out of it, then he made a Phone call to that person to meet him
      at the Beach, and that’s when he sold
      Nathalie Ann Holloway.

      Everyone she’s alive and I trully believe that
      We have the power the Internet to do everything
      in our POWER to bring back home Nathalie to her
      Parents.

      And I think they deserve that very much, for US People to Act NOW and bring her HOME, before it’s
      Really TOO LATE!! I am righting this STORY cause
      To ME I believe she’s very much ALIVE! till this
      Day February 08 2009 . we cant give up now, We
      Will find Nathalie Ann Holloway.

    54. Concerned Mother on April 20th, 2009 11:41 am

      I am watching the Natalee Holloway movie on Lifetime right now. By reading all the other posts, I’m not sure what to think, is she dead or is it a big cover up & Joran Van der Sloot sold
      Natalie Ann Holloway for $10,000 to a
      Venezuelan man? What happened to Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak & Satish Kalpoe? Are they still free? Did there serve any time? The movie just barely started & I’m upset because it sounds like it’s going to end & her disappearance or murder remains unsolved:(

    55. kathy pilczuk on April 20th, 2009 7:10 pm

      i hope they found Natalee Holloway some day i feel sorry for her mom

    56. MW on June 4th, 2009 1:24 pm

      Look at this way if Joran Van der Sloot did sell Natalee that man wood kill him for saying it too us.
