While Aruba does damage control over fears that their tourism industry may suffer, reports have surfaced that Natalee Holloway is not the only young American girl to disappear there.…

Hi:
Just read your comments on the Amy Bradley case. One part that always seems to be left out is that a year later she identified herself to an American sailor in a brothel at that same port.
That means Bradley had been forced to be a prostitute in the same port she had been kidnapped in. Right under the noses of the police. Kind of backs up what Holloway's mother has been saying about the authorities in her daughter's cas.
Oh yes, I had it confirmed that the police chief in Aruba is the dutch boy's godfather. Anyone smell a fix.
Don't know if Holloway is even alive. Maybe someone might check to see if vander Sloot's father had and gambling debts that were suddenly paid down or cleared. That would tell the story.
I do know that Bradley was taken off the island and might still be alive. This after six years of being a sex slave in Venezula. Of course, with the poisened relations we have with them, this makes her recovery very doubtful.
Some world we live in.
Now if the loudest noise wasn't silence from our government, maybe we'd have a chance of getting both these cases solved.
Thanks again for the good article.

I am a 30 yaer old male born and raised in Mobile , Alabama not far from Nattles home. I have followed this case from day one and it seems to me that these van der sloots particularly the father know that the methods of investigation there in aruba and some of the laws are at best sub-standard.And he seems to be playing that for all that its worth.Being part of the legal community he knows well what laws protect his son.Being that there has yet to be a body recovered i would be interested in knowing if any of these sub-standard laws prevented searches of particular places.And farther more it is my belief that if and when the truth finally reveals itsself we will see that 1,2,or3 teenage kids are not professionals in disposing of bodies.and would likley need the help of someone who is familiar with how to do that,say- maybe gained through the long term study of practicing law wich would be a very good place to learn.MAY GOD BLESS YOUR SWEET LITTLE SOUL NATTLE,WE LOVE YOU HERE IN SWEET HOME ALABAMA.your fellow Alabamian Fred Boone.

Dear Dr. Phil
We have great admiration for the level of quality and fact based
information of your programs. Our lives have certainly been enlightened by your professional advice, and more so, we have been given the
privilege of being
able to understand and learn from the emotional andpsychological issues
of your guest and from your resulting professional interventions.
However, with disturbing disappointment, yet with confidence in
being acknowledged by your professionalism, we strongly disapprove of your
uncharacteristic handling of The Nathalee Holloway Case recently
aired during your show. The issue being your subjective position
towards the case
which fundamentally conflicts with the principles of your show
and, as we
have grown to appreciate, your values.
Your subjective position, exacerbated by an apparent complete
void of research on this subject has clearly allowed the family to
manipulate your program for their personal gain similar to other popular media we consider as not being at your standards. With regards to this, and by agreeing to a boycott against Aruba, you have publicly and willingly taken a subjective position towards a nation which has held its doors open through the best,and recently, through the worst moments of your nation for the past 60 odd years.
Any genuine grief the Twitty family might have, which was clearly not
evident during their extensive stay in Aruba, is no excuse for what is
seemingly becoming an unfounded and personal vendetta against the people
of Aruba. Everybody has the right on having his own opinion, but no
one has the right on having his own facts.
It is not acceptable how the Twitty family and most of the US
press have disrespected our legal system because they failed in bending the outcome to their choosing. Might we add that in Aruba as well as in the US a person is innocent until proven guilty and by you taking the position
behind the Twitty family is as you, and we, say unconstitutional and
shameful to the word of law of both our nations. It would have been more
objective, and characteristic of you, to commend the incredible efforts our
system is still allotting to this case in finding Nathalee, and on the other
hand, like most of us in Aruba request an insurance fraud + corruption inquiry on the Twitty family.
Recently in New York a 5-month pregnant girl (Figueroa) went
missing, however was last seen with the father of the child. The father
of the child was interrogated but was not detained during the investigation
which would be contrary to our legal system. It was not until they found her body that the father of the baby was detained and formally charged. No
body, nocase.
Please explain the legal difference in handling this case and
the Nathalee Holloway case. This is the start of being objective.
If you can appreciate the aforementioned, and can find yourself
in considering overturning the damage this specific show has caused
to itself and to Aruba, consider airing another show dedicated to the
Nathalee Holloway case, however, with guests from Aruba whom are capable
of explaining your audience of the facts, and not sensationalism.
Needless to say, Mrs. Twitty is most welcome to be on the panel as well.
Being confident in hearing from you, we remain.

I am not going to think or come up with a wild idea.
Should the police in Aruba have done a little more??? Well, let's look at this fact. All the chaparones and the other students arrived in the US and it wasn't until then that Nataly's mother was called and informed that her daughter wasn't on the flight.
Shouldn't the mother be looking at these folks for not accounting for her daughter. Didn't anyone care to check in Aruba at the airport that she was not on the bus, at the check in counter and on board of the flight???? Why wait until they arrived in the US to "sound the alarm bell"?

It appears that a few of you have the idea that there are only 3 "men" who can be responsible for 2 separate incidents that seem to be human trafficking. Just because the 3 young rapists involved with Natalee's case were too young to do the same thing to Amy in '98 does not mean that they are then guiltless. The two cases are ENTIRELY separate; and if there were 3 "men" involved in Amy's disappearance, and 3 involved in Natalee's, that means there was a total of 6 (or more, no one knows) "men" involved.
Also, what young girl would consider -- even for a split-second -- that it would be "fun" to run away in a strange country? It's the most preposterous thing I've ever heard. Neither of the girls disappeared willingly -- I'd bet every dime I own on it; and I'd bet everything all of you own, too.
Also, young girls are not sluts because they get drunk and/or are drugged by a guy putting something in their drink. However, many men are rapists who will go to evil lengths for sex with a defenseless girl. Everyone said that Natalee was pretty-well plastered the night she disappeared; and they also said the cars the various students got into at C & C's were not well-lit, so she may very well have thought she was entering a Cab, not a ride to her own rape/murder, or drive to the sex-slave pick-up point down on the beach.
Another point someone mentioned was that Natalee's parents were told she was missing when the students arrived back in the U.S.; but that's not true. She was called when the "adults" noticed she was missing when the students were loading for the bus-trip to the airport. Why the heck her roommates never told anyone she never came back to the room that night is beyond me! I think they should be forced to speak with the authorities, instead of just Greta Van Susteran, with their mono-syllable answers. And the "adults" who did not do room-checks should be flogged and then charged with negligence.
Another thing that infuriates me is that the Amy Bradley case has been completely squashed by the media, after it was mentioned on only one night, soon after Natalee disappeared. I believed way back then that Amy's disappearance and being sighted in a brothel in Venezuela was most likely the same precise thing that happened to Natalee, too. It would also explain why the 3 cocky boys seem so sure of themselves. They know she's not going to be located in a pond or the dump or in a ditch or off-shore in the ocean. They saw her as a piece of meat that they each could use for sex and then destroy -- either by way of murder or by selling her to the vile animals on the beach who took her to Venezuela to be used and abused as if she were a whore.
My prayer is that the media and professional investigators will find both girls alive in Venezuela, and that in the process they can free thousands of other women and children who are being tortured, too.
But no matter what happens, I know that God holds a special place for the vile ANIMALS who promote human trafficking and torture. They may not pay right away, but they WILL pay.

NOT FAIR FOR ARUBA!!!! AND ALL OF U KNOW IT!!!! THATS ALL!!!! DO NOT BLAME THE PLACE BUT THE ONES WHO DID IT!!!! THERE'S CRIMINALS EVERYWHERE ALSO IN YOUR COUNTRY !!!! SO !!!! DO NOT BLAME IT ON ARUBA.... IF U DO.??>1! I CAN TO.... THEN IS EVERYWHERE LIKE A 1000000x WORST THAN ARUBA...
83 - Orisha
Arubians are not to blame, however, when the polis, government, prosecutor, media, and socialites on the island allow the older men on the island to use their sons to lure and drug young girls for their old man sex parties and don't do a thing to stop or prevent it, then it is a problem which has been going on for years for which everyone who knows about it has turned a blind eye. It must be stopped, and if a boycott is necessary to accomplish that, then that is what needs to be done. These older sick pigs are the ones to blame and who Arubians should be made at. They are the ones giving Aruba a bad name, not Ms. Holloway's mother or family.

85 - tasha
i think that both of the girls missing with in the last 7 years are missing because they are probably being trafficed in sex crimes did anyone ever think about that its true it does happen all over the place not just to older teens but to younger teens to and some are 9 and 10 years old so think about it!!!!!

if your going to act like a skank, dance on bars, get drunk and do drugs.. please, you are asking for it. girls aren't that innocent.. pfft how ridiculous.

ilovearuba: clearly your passion for the place is blinding you. Anybody, male or female, has the right to have a good time without fearing for their health or safety. Pfft, how ridiculous!

Listen I would not tell you this if not true. Some of the above have vested interest in Aruba so of course they think the best. Plus some above are Arubans.
Aruba deliberately covered up the crime to prevent tourism taking a hit but also they don't want to prosecute the guilty. The guilty were given ten days to cover their tracks before they went to jail.
Study and read the case for yourself it has been a mockery of justice.
Also I found the pic of Amy Bradley posted on Hyscience and in no way affiliated with them. Don't even agree with what they say.

I agree this is a complete mockery!!! My family or I will never consider traveling to Aruba because of these past new learnings of the place. No matter how safe people make it sound, I am certainly skeptic. There are too many "WHAT?" situations. Disbelief of how the suspects are getting away with murder, possibly rape and their lying is outrageous. I've only recently learned of the huge sex trade industry there and it makes me sick to my stomach. The stories are disturbing and torturous. My heart breaks to hear about it. Having children I would never put them in danger for a stupid trip I could take in many other different places and feel safe.
Note: It should be ok to go to a bar and have fun! Flirting and dancing is a part of life and it's not asking to be raped or trapped in a sex trade industry. I honestly can't imagine anything worse! It haunts me every time I think about it. I can't sleep at night wondering if Natalee is being tortured like so many others.
There is such ignorance left in this world! I am constantly reminded to be overprotective as a parent! You can't trust anybody, can you?

Reading about this girl disappearing in Aruba in 98, its almost step by step taken by natalie.
I am no policeperson but i see this;
The murderer used the same porticol. Something happens in the bar both the girls were last seen at. I believe Vander Slooth may have had something to do with that. Look inot vander slooths eyes, he knows he will get away with this, Why? because he got away with it before, in 98.
He is cocky, arrogrant, and that will be his downfall. The father saved his son back in 98 and again in 2005. I think that is called "aiding and embedding" a felon. If the father knew about his son a murderer, or serial murder/rapist and did not turn his son in.
I cant complain about the U>s. judicial system, because next to aruba, ours looks very righteious.
