A Tale of Two Murders: Joran Van der Sloot Charged with Murder of Stephany Flores … Beth Holloway Says, “God bless the Peru authorities for handling this thoroughly and professionally”
Call it a tale of two crimes and the tale of how two countries handled the same crime in complete contrast manners. One country lets a sociopath loose on the rest if society to kill again, the other one rightfully charges him with murder and cages the criminal protecting society.
“It was the best of times (Peru), it was the worst of times (Aruba), it was the age of wisdom (Peru), it was the age of foolishness (Aruba), it was the epoch of belief (Peru), it was the epoch of incredulity (Aruba), it was the season of Light (Peru), it was the season of Darkness (Aruba), it was the spring of hope (Peru), it was the winter of despair (Aruba), we had everything before us (Peru), we had nothing before us (Aruba), we were all going direct to Heaven (Peru), we were all going direct the other way (Aruba) –in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good (Peru) or for evil (Aruba), in the superlative degree of comparison only.”
What Aruba could not, would not and never intended to do, Peru saw fit to accomplish at all cost. In Aruba they death with the death and disappearance of an American tourist Natalee Holloway where one of the suspects was a “little Dutch boy” of privilege. In Peru they dealt with the death of a 21 year old local from a prominent family. The common denominator … Joran Van der Sloot. Aruba has never charged Joran Van der Sloot with murder. Conversely, Peru has properly pursued Van der Sloot and charged the “Sporter” with murder. Sadly, had Aruba done their job, charged and convicted Joran Van der Sloot instead of enabling him, Joran would never have been able to travel to Peru and kill again.
In a People magazine interview, Beth Holloway, the mother of Natalee Holloway, who has dealt with endless frustration, cronyism and corruption in Aruba said about the murder charges against Van der Sloot by Peru authorities, “God bless the Peru authorities for handling this thoroughly and professionally.”
With no justice yet for her own daughter, Beth Holloway cautiously cheered yesterday’s decision by authorities in Peru to bring murder charges against Joran van der Sloot – long suspected in Natalee Holloway’s disappearance – for the murder last year of a young woman in Peru.
“God bless the Peru authorities for handling this thoroughly and professionally,” Holloway tells PEOPLE exclusively. “They have faced criticism and threats of lawsuits from the defendant’s side, but they have stuck to their guns and I say good for them.”
What a difference a country makes where a murder is committed. When Natalee Holloway went missing in Aruba in 2005 the Aruba authorities did nothing. They let valuable time go by that they should have been questioning suspects, gathering evidence and having vehicles analyzed before they could be cleaned. Instead, they only acted once missing Natalee Holloway’s parents arrived and made them review hotel security tapes and determine who she was last seen with. Oh that’s correct, they did arrest two black security guards because the three suspects pointed the finger at them.
Aruba authorities will be quick to say that the two crimes are different in the sense in Peru police found the battered body of Stephany Flores while in Aruba, Natalee Holloway’s body was never recovered. The so-called “No body, No Crime” principle. Gee Aruba, how could anyone found a body when there was a purposeful cover up to prevent such a thing from occurring? Although, in 2005 to present Aruba said that Joran Van der Sloot could not be prosecuted because they never found a body and that he lied. Fast forward to 2011 and the case of missing Robyn Gardner in Aruba. The “One Happy Island” is presently detaining American Gary Giordano in the disappearance and presumed death of travel companion Robyn Gardner. No body has been found, yet Giordano was just sentenced to more time by the Aruba courts. Why is it different for Giordano as compared to how Aruba handled the death and disappearance of Natalee against Joran Van der Sloot?
The Public Prosecutor (OM) assumes that the American tourist Robyn Gardner no longer alive. “I know we have no body and that one could say they could still be alive,” as late as Advocate General Taco Stein to American media know. “But if that were the case, she would already have reported.”
Is it any wonder why Beth Holloway is congratulating the Peru authorities to sticking to their guns and providing JUSTICE FOR STEPHANY. Beth has gone through everything that no parent ever should, it has to be some what rewarding to see that the suspect in her daughter’s case is finally receiving justice, although sadly another innocent person had to die. That blood is on Aruba’s hands as well.

Stephany Flores did not have to die. Aruba has to take responsibility for her shed blood at the hands of Joran van der sloot.

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY’S MOTHER: They never—they never wanted to implicate these three young men. They never wanted to implicate them from the beginning. ….

…God Bless Beth Holloway and her family, God Bless The Flores Family and RIP Forever Natalee!
Your Mom has been your voice where you have had none and Beth should be proud of her accomplishments to date. IMO, there never will be justice for Natalee until the Sporter is food for worms.
There was only one way for Beth and family to get justice for Natalee in Aruba. It would have required the United States to put troops on the island and do the investigation with our FBI.
The best thing that people can do is to do what many have done and that is to leave Aruba and all the other ABC islands to the Dutch. Do not go there, ever.
If that had been done in the present case, Robyn Gardner may not have been killed or sold by the piece of crap that took her there.
… Oh that’s correct, they did arrest two black security guards because the three suspects pointed the finger at them.

Defining a Cover Up
‘Rita Cosby Live & Direct’ for Dec. 5th
updated 6:18 a.m. PT, Tues., Dec. 6, 2005
BETH TWITTY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY’S MOTHER: Remember, within the first 24 hours, we knew who the suspects were. We knew the persons that Natalee were taken from Carlos and Charlie‘s. We knew the license plate of the gray Honda they placed her in. We knew the condition that Natalee was in. We knew the behavior or the conduct in which they engaged in with Natalee.
And then not only that within 72 hours, we knew that their first story was totally fabricated, that within the first 72 hours, I faced a room of 12 — at least 12 detectives, Aruban and Dutch detectives, and a lead detective, Dennis Jacobs (ph), and they knew after we reviewed video footage from the Holiday Inn casino lobby that my daughter had never been brought back to the Holiday Inn. They knew that those suspects were fabricating a story from day one.
Something that the family knew—and we have to keep reminding everyone—after 72 hours — 72 hours—we knew definitively that these suspects were not telling the truth. We knew that my daughter had never been brought back to the Holiday Inn. Of course we were becoming frustrated. Who wouldn‘t, at this point? You know, we—and what was so unbelievable about this, is they knew this information and still chose to pursue the two security guards on June the 5th.

A Measure of Justice
Natalee Holloway’s Mom: Aruba Investigators ‘Not Following Up on Any Leads’
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
BETH HOLLOWAY: And Greta, I was just wanting to say that, you know, like I said, it’s been a long time, but it’s never too late for justice. And I’d be good with a “Midnight Express” prison anywhere for Joran.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,454527,00.html
It’s too bad Beth can’t file obstruction of justice charges against Prime Minister Oduber. It’s obvious he ordered the cover up in his radio address. That being what it is, justice for Natalee didn’t have a chance.
My thoughts and prayers are with her and Dave. If it hadn’t been for their strength and integrity, they wouldn’t have made it this far. They’re both heroes, in my opinion. Their love continues to shine the way for other people in their quest for Justice. And, she’s right, anytime is a good time for justice… it’s never too late.
Bless~
God bless Beth and Dave. Although Joran is in prison, I pray that one day there will be justice for Natalie and maybe then these poor people can begin to heal.
The Jonesboro Sun – January 29, 2007
Twitty recalled the first days after her daughter’s disappearance and the actions of the Aruban government.
“We did everything we could in looking for her. There was a government coverup, and it has been documented,”
