Natalee Holloway: A Case That Captivated The Nation

A Mother’s Love

Natalee’s mother, Beth, said in television interviews that Joran van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers were withholding information and that the young men knew a lot more than they were revealing to the authorities. The bereaved mother claimed to have seen police statements in which Joran van der Sloot revealed intimate details with Natalee which constitute sexual assault. However, the Aruban police force denied that no such statement was made.

Shortly after the arrest of van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers, Beth expressed her frustration at the murky details of the investigation, saying “I’m not getting any answers.”
