Beth Holloway Twitty Finally Says it, “Don’t Travel To Aruba.”

Posted in: Natalee Holloway

In an interview last night with Geraldo Rivera Beth Holloway Twitty finally made a comment that has never been made yet.

“…please, please just consider not traveling to Aruba or within the Dutch Kingdom and territory until Natalee is returned to her country, because they can absolutely make this happen, Geraldo.”

I would please like for them to consider not to travel to Aruba until she is returned, and the Dutch Kingdom territories, Geraldo. You know if we did not feel that they knew exactly where she was we would not be seeking this, but we have been such slapped in the face by the present government that is in place that its just hard for us not to begin to make this request now.

During the interview as well Beth Holloway Twitty she also went on to say that she felt that the Aruban government took complete advantage of the catastrophic situation in the US with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Pretty much implying that they knew the American media would knowingly and rightfully have to cover the events of the hurricane.

Well it’s pretty tough hanging in there with all that has happened, and you are exactly right, Geraldo. It was a PR dream for the Dutch government to take advantage of such a catastrophic event in the United States in order to release these suspects.

It doesn’t quite seem that Beth Holloway Twitty was willing to use the “B” word; however, it was certainly a shot across the bow. Although Geraldo was certainly quick to say boycott. One wonders what a grieving mother is pushed into doing when she states she has known particular information for quite some time and then sees all three suspects let out of prison.

” … Jug and Dave, Natalee’s father and I have had knowledge of since early in July, so we have Joran’s statements. We have had them translated for us, and we have at least five. You know, Geraldo, what has been so difficult for us is that we have had this knowledge that Joran has admitted to having sex with Natalee AT HIS HOME
as she is coming in and out of consciousness. You know we have protected the integrity of the investigation because we felt that was the professional way to handle this but you know when we have been slapped in the face by the Dutch government and . . .”

The full interview can be seen here.
Update:
Ian over at the Political Teen has video of the interview.
HyScience also has a good recap.

GERALDO: On Tuesday, Sept. 6th, the Dutch teenager,
Joran Van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance
of Natalee Holloway, arrived in the Netherlands following
his release from prison a couple of days earlier in Aruba.
Van der Sloot, who has acknowledged spending the evening
with Natalee before her disappearance but has denied any
wrong doing arrived in the Amsterdam airport with his dad,
another potential suspect in the case. He /they ignored all
questions from the reporters and quickly departed the airport.
Our next guest, our dear friend, believes that the government
in Aruba took advantage of our intense, very necessary and
appropriate focus on Hurricane Katrina to make this dramatic
move and let Van der Sloot sleaze his way off the island of
Aruba. Beth joins us tonight from Little Rock.
So, first of all hi, how’s your spirits?

Beth: Hi Geraldo. Well it’s pretty tough hanging in there with
all that has happened, and you are exactly right, Geraldo.
It was a PR dream for the Dutch government to take advantage
of such a catastrophic event in the United States in order to
release these suspects.

Geraldo: Were you down there kind of screaming don’t forget
us as they got to the airport and got on the plane?

BETH: Well, it’s just incredible that they chose to act under
these circumstances. I think it just shows the world that . . .
what all that we have been put through, . . . and when
there’s involvement with the Dutch government, as we have
been in Aruba.

GERALDO: It shows the world, Beth, but never the less the
prime suspect in the disappearance of your daughter is now
free, although technically I guess he remains a suspect.
After the arrest of that other guy and the Kalpoe brothers on
that rape tape of the 14 year old I thought they were going
to be in for awhile, or at least they would be in, but they
are out too, aren’t they?

BETH: Oh, yes, Geraldo. You know when I heard you state
that Joran is still stating that he had no involvement with her disappearance but something that Jug and Dave, Natalee’s
father and I have had knowledge of since early in July, so
we have Joran’s statements. We have had them translated
for us, and we have at least five. You know, Geraldo, what
has been so difficult for us is that we have had this knowledge
that Joran has admitted to having sex with Natalee AT HIS HOME
as she is coming in and out of consciousness. You know we have protected the integrity of the investigation because we felt that
was the professional way to handle this but you know when we
have been slapped in the face by the Dutch government and . . .

GERALDO: You say that Van der Sloot admits in his police
statement that he is having sex with your daughter, whom
I believe was a virgin before she went to Aruba, as she lapses
in and out of consciousness?

BETH: Absolutely Geraldo.

GERALDO: Isn’t there a law , as I recall, one of the things
the Kalpoe brothers were suspected of in the porno tapes that
they did with the 14 year old was having sex with someone
with whom did not have the capacity to give consent. Its seems
to me that if your daughter was phasing in and out of
consciousness she can not legally consent to have sex.

BETH: Absolutely, Geraldo, that’s why we were so shocked
on Sept. 1st because even the Dutch interrogators that have
knowledge of these statements, the lists of inconsistencies
are there, the reasonable doubt is there. We were just truly
shocked that the sudden release of these suspects. We just
can not fathom how this has happened and how rape is not
a crime within the Dutch government.

GERALDO: It is outrageous, Beth. I really didn’t know about
those statements. You say there are more. You should really
share them with me and I will, not necessarily now, but I will
blast them, believe me. I told you I would be there to the end
with you and I will be. I think it is really retched, it really is.
So what are you going to do now?

BETH: Well, Geraldo, I think that we have had so many
millions of people that have supported us in prayer and have
sent of cards and emails. The main thing that we would like
to ask right now is to please, please just consider not
traveling to Aruba or within the Dutch Kingdom and territory
until Natalee is returned to her country, because they
can absolutely make this happen, Geraldo.

GERALDO: Make happen what? What do you want?
Do you want a boycott on Aruba?

BETH: I would please like for them to consider not to
travel to Aruba until she is returned, and the Dutch Kingdom
territories, Geraldo. You know if we did not feel that they
knew exactly where she was we would not be seeking this,
but we have been such slapped in the face by the present
government that is in place that its just hard for us not to
begin to make this request now.

GERALDO: How is your boy faring, starting school,
he’s 16 right?

BETH: Well, actually Geraldo, he is 17 now. I am going
to see him Tuesday. I just flew in from Aruba this morning.
I am going to spend a week in Birmingham and I am looking
forward to that. We are gong to be re-grouping. This is not
over. We are going to continue, Geraldo.

GERALDO: Save your strength. You know we love you.
Courage. Regards to everybody. Really, call me with that
data because I will use it, I will whack them with it.

BETH: Ok, Thanks Geraldo.
