For much, much more on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba … go to Scared Monkeys Forum: Natalee Holloway.
UPDATE I: Beth Holloway: ‘Never give up hope’.
She hasn’t seen justice in her daughter’s death, but even that didn’t snuff Beth Holloway’s hope. She presented the stories of other families looking for missing loved ones and founded the Natalee Holloway Resource Center.
“After all I’ve been through, and all my family’s been through, I have a right to crawl in a hole and never come out — but that’s not how I want to live my life,” she said. “I found myself asking what I can do to teach others from our tragic situation.”
Beth Holloway praised Gingerbread House staff members and supporters for their role in nurturing hope. Gingerbread House serves children who have suffered physical and sexual abuse.
“You are proactively working to save these children from their abusers,” she said.

Loving Natalee
A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith
By Beth Holloway with Sunny Tillman
Page 189: It’s the proverbial, Biblical conflict between good and evil. It’s very, very hard to fight evil because it constantly changes form and you never know who your enemies are. And evil is always two steps ahead. From the outset we never had a chance. But we didn’t know it. I’m taking leave of the island, but not from the work yet to be done.
Page 200: My child. My beautiful daughter. I can’t save her. It’s too late. Natalee is gone. And second to the great tragedy of losing her is if we fail to learn from what has happened. I could be any parent in the world. And no parent should ever go through this experience. Natalee could be anyone’s daughter. And in these thoughts a new path is made clear. There is something I can do. Many people reached out to us, and I can now reach back to them. It might be too late to save Natalee, but it’s not too late to save others. And it’s time now to make good on my pledge. It’s time now to make good on my pledge to stand before high-school and college students, law enforcement professionals, victims’ rights groups, travelers of all ages, and anyone interested in personal safety to share Natalee’s story and our hard lessons, so that others might learn from them.
Page 209: Bad things happen everywhere. But the difference we need to consider when something bad happens outside the country is the help available for the victims and their families. When we leave these borders, we leave behind all the privileges and rights we’re all accustomed to and often take for granted. We have expectations that there will be a safety net of law-abiding official, no matter where we travel, or that our US embassy will come to our rescue. But that’s terribly naive …
Pages 230: I can’t say for sure if we’ll ever know that answer to whether my daughter is alive or not. I know it doesn’t look good. But just as that old metal spiral staircase rose from the ashes when our lake house burned down, so too faith stands strong in the remains of this devastating loss. And just as my Dad built another house around that staircase, I will build another life around hope and faith. It won’t ever be the same. But I pray that it will, at the very least, be useful.

“TRAGEDY CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE” – Beth Holloway, 2010
Tonight on the Dutch television program ‘Brandpunt Reporter’: The Holloway case. From the announcement: “Reporter has put it’s hand on the police files on the case of Natalee Holloway and will show some new facts about the night she disappeared.’
Apparently Joran’s claim “I left her at the beach.” could – maybe – prove the be right.
Victim’s mother: Don’t give in to tragedy
Oct. 16, 2013
Even when Beth Holloway realized her daughter Natalee was dead, she didn’t give up hope.
Beth’s search for answers about Natalee’s disappearance during a school trip to Aruba in 2005 captivated the world. Holloway shared the story of her daughter’s disappearance and its effect on her family during Gingerbread House’s annual fundraising luncheon Wednesday in Shreveport.
Gingerbread House serves more than 750 victims of sexual and physical abuse each year in northwest Louisiana at no charge. Besides helping youngsters abused by family members, the organization works with law enforcement agencies on child exploitation and trafficking cases.

Your child gets to “that age”, and they are begging you to “trust” them. Your wife says it’s ok., and then retracts the ok part, so you take a leap of faith and decide to loosen the reigns just a bit.
Then all hell breaks loose.
I hate auto spell.
These Jorans, these monsters that haughty the night, are ripping the fabric of our souls.
