Aruba - Natalee Holloway, 18, Oranjestad, 30 May 2005 #1

[redsky]

I am just now catching up with all of this information. I am hoping this is Natalee because Beth and Dave deserve some kind of closure and Joran will never give them that.

So the news will be released at 2:30pm or am? EST? Thanks for all of the information. I am saying a prayer.

HLN now is saying the press conference could be "any minute now".

 

[suzihawk]

It sounds like the press conference has been moved up a few hours and could be any moment now.

Keeping fingers crossed...

 

[Frigga]

crossing my fingers.

If it is Natalee, I wish there was more of her for Beth and Dave to bury. I keep thinking if this were my child... it would be such a hollow victory to only have such a small part of her.

At least they will know. They will know for sure and grieve for her in a way they haven't been allowed to. My thoughts and prayers are with them at this time.

Where is Beth now? In the States or Aruba?

She is not in Aruba, per HLN.

 

[Carrington]

FOX saying in a few minutes, report coming up!

 

[waltzingmatilda]

HLN now playing video of Beth's visit to Peru to see joran....

 

[waltzingmatilda]

Tim Miller now on....says Dave is not doing well at all

 

[yeknomaras]

While I am not overly optimistic (too many games in this case) I really do hope this gives Natalee's family some answers....

 

[waltzingmatilda]

sez dave will be finding out results with the rest of us thru media.....

HLN
Tim Miller just talked to Dave (father) he's not holding up good
Dave is upset that he has to find out through the media like the rest of us

 

[snowdaze]

Wow, Tim Miller saying that the family has not been notified. Hearing the news same way we are! That's terrible...

That's wrong - if it is Natalee.

 

[nursebeeme]

poor Dave... that is horrible. If this IS his daughter I would think they should have told him before the announcement.

 

[bogeygal]

Reporters in Aruba still waiting for press conference per HLN

Not that this surprises me in the least, but doesn't that just figure that they'd not even have the b@lls to tell him themselves as opposed to having to hear it through the media?

Gotta sit on my hands now before I say anything more.......

 

[eachandevery]

Well, this is Aruba. As we all know by now, the authorities like to keep it classy.

 

[cynsational]

The suspense is killing me! I can't even imagine how Natalee's parents feel....
