Beth Holloway returns to Aruba’s Alto Vista chapel, where she says she found peace after the first 72 hours of tirelessly searching for her missing daughter Natalee.
Roughly 24 hours after her teenage daughter Natalee Holloway vanished in 2005, Beth Holloway stood face to face on a foreign island with the man she believes holds all the answers to what happened to her daughter – Joran van der Sloot.
Van der Sloot is now serving a 28-year prison sentence in Peru for a different crime. He has never been charged in connection to Natalee Holloway's disappearance. Surveillance footage from a casino adjacent to Natalee Holloway’s hotel showed her seated at the same blackjack table where van der Sloot was sitting. The footage was taken hours before Natalee Holloway was seen leaving the Carlos’n Charlie's bar with him.
More than a week after Natalee Holloway's disappearance, van der Sloot and his two friends, brothers Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe, were taken into police custody. About that exchange, Beth Holloway said she thought Paulus van der Sloot was “the most pathetic human being I’ve ever seen.”Beth Holloway continued making media appearances to keep the pressure on authorities to solve the case. The story was dominating headlines around the world and Beth Holloway said at the time, she did a dozen interviews a day.
“He's a monster. I know that he was responsible for the demise of Natalee. And I'll never, never not believe that,” Beth Holloway said. “I made a pledge that I will share everything that I have learned. So, that's what I did.” As the years went on, Joran van der Sloot’s story about what he says happened to Natalee Holloway continued to change.
On March 29, 2010, Beth Holloway’s lawyer, John Q. Kelly says that van der Sloot contacted him by email using a pseudonym, claiming that in exchange for $250,000 -- $25,000 up front -- he would reveal the location of Natalee Holloway’s remains. They worked with the FBI to gather evidence against van der Sloot for possible wire fraud and extortion. Kelly says the FBI went down to Aruba to set up recording devices in a hotel room where he was to meet van der Sloot.
Kelly says Joran then took him to a nearby home and claimed that his father, who had since died, had buried Natalee in the house’s foundation. The lack of an arrest in the extortion case, the FBI said at the time,"is not due to any fault on the part of the FBI or the U.S. Attorney's Office." On that same day, U.S. federal prosecutors announced wire and extortion charges against van der Sloot “for soliciting money from Natalee Holloway’s mother on promises he would reveal the location of her daughter’s remains in Aruba and the circumstances of her 2005 death.”
Face to face with van der Sloot again, Holloway asked him once more to tell her what happened to her daughter.Van der Sloot told the grieving mother, “I’ve had a lot of time here to really think. I really do want to write you. I need some time to think about what I want to say.” In March 2014, it was announced van der Sloot will be extradited to the U.S. after he finishes his sentence in Peru.
