I don't think he did, maybe indeed his confession is true that she did die on him and he did dump her body or he left and she went out swimming drunk and drowned. Having said that, I do think he is or has become a very disturbed individual. To what extent all the negative publicity he got over him at 17 yes old I dont know, but he is disturbed. I guess the girl in Peru flipped a switch in this disturbed individual. The odd thing is that there are people who done worse, but became less of an infamous house hold name for public enemy number 1

OMG, I am Truly Sorry For Your Loss. No Parent should suffer The Loss of a Child.

[@bunnybubs757]

My condolences so sorry

[@staceyellis-lewis5261]

I'm so sorry. I completely agree. I was just saying that to someone else in here, that I would never stop if it were my child. I can't imagine the never knowing what happened or knowing were her remains were left. Especially if how they are laid to rest has a huge importance in your beliefs.

[@Roy-w2o3f]

The father helped his son to get rid of Natalie....He was involved...And the two brothers knows what happened to her ... The Aruban police department failed the family..The police was corrupted...They cover up..

[@elizabethlauryn7937]

i believe her body is in the ocean :(

I unfortunately believe that too

A B he told that to my common sense too

[@Robert-xp4ii]

OMG, has it really been 15 years??? I pray this mother gets Natalie back so she can be laid to rest at home. Hopefully those bastards get what's coming to them too.

[@amariewalenda3801]

This is so sad💔🥺😔 I have a 20 yr old baby and im even scared when she goes to the store i dont ever want to imagine how this lady feels i feel so bad so sorry for her 💔🥺😔

[@alicegauteng2358]

Yes mine too is 20 years old and goes to college. I am always in contact with her. This world is too cruel

[@PeacefulAlli28]

Why wouldn't her classmates wake up the chaperones and alert them???!!! So much time was lost and they knew that she didn't know those boys well enough to be with them alone!

[@lazyislander4605]

Runner Girl06 sad thing happened , but this comment sums up my thoughts also, bad judgement on her part and her so called friends who left her probably in a intoxicated state with people she did not know, this would have never had any positive outcome and it doesn’t matter where in the world you are, bad things will happen to you if you are not careful

[@scilla223]

They were most likely drunk too and didn't want to get in trouble.

[@lazyislander4605]

scilla some friends....

[@eduagonzalez]

Honestly, Natalie wasn’t a child, i was drunk at 16 and never went off with boys i didn’t know .

[@Whitneypyant]

Her friends shouldn’t let her go out with Joran in the first place.

[@aprilaugustine7409]

Breaks my heart every time I hear this story. God bless her mother.

[@angelacartwright3137]

This made me not go on my senior trip as a teenager years ago.....I am still hurt by her dissappearce....

Can’t imagine how frustrating it is desperately trying to look for your daughter as her parents

[@jamesmedina3271]

My heart ❤️ is still broken. It will be a great day when she is reunited with Natalie ✝️

[@heidiwelsh1428]

She’s a great mother! To fly over there the next day to look for her herself! My mother would have never done something like that. My mother wouldn’t have even called Aruba let alone fly over there! Natalie was lucky to have such a strong beautiful, loving mother who would go to the ends of the earth to find her. That’s what kind of mother I want to be. Rip Natalie! I pray for Beth to find peace and comfort!

[@nillyk5671]

I am sorry. Not all women deserve to become mothers.

[@wakanda6547]

Beth Holloway flew in the same day, the students departed Aruba...Dave Holloway Natalee's father organized numerous searches on his own dime...he was just not on tv...Beth used the media, Dave used silent partners..both of Natalee's parents searched for her relentlessly, from day one.

[@terriblepainter7675]

Educate your daughters about narcissism so they never in up in relationships with narcissistic personalities.

[@xsquivel]

My sister was almost gonna go on a senior trip to Puerto Rico but she changed her mind. I’m so glad that she decided not to go. I hope they find Natalee or bring closure to the family. ❤️

[@jalex3645]

In today's climate, I don't understand why parents of newly high school graduates allow their children to take such lavish vacations at such a young age. My heart breaks for Natalie's parents.

[@jellybelly111]

these kids go out traveling to other countries thinking that they're just as safe as back home

[@Juwlz]

It was 2005, so today's climate doesn't really apply but I understand what you mean. My mom was a worrier, so I never would of been allowed to go on trips like this when I was younger. She did let me go on a class trip when I was 12, to Chicago and when I told her that they let me and my friends walk around downtown Chicago without a chaperone for a few hours, she was so mad

[@brett8460]

I mean...18 is considered an adult in some places.

[@Angelaaa1015]

You don’t expect to get kidnapped when you go on vacation.

[@jalex3645]

@@brett8460 yes, but your mind is 16. They were drinking, gambling and her mother thought she was her perfect angel, which she probably was at home. But in an environment like Aruba you tend to get a little loose. God bless her parents.

[@miawallace2306]

Every parent I see interviewed when their child goes missing says the worst part is “Not Knowing.” As heart breaking as it is for a mother and father to learn their child is deceased, they at least have an answer and can finally attempt the healing process.

[@RealityChick77]

Can’t believe it’s been 15 years! This story is convoluted and tragic. Her mother is absolutely the strongest woman I’ve seen. Natalie will never be forgotten and even though we know what happened I hope justice will be served

[@rickispanish227]

Wow. The mother is beautiful.

[@melindamullins9649]

[@nessarose3234]

My heart aches for this mama so hard. Words fail me. I cant imagine.

[@kieramcgregor]

I understand the anger of the people from Aruba, but at the same time, it’s so sad that a woman’s daughter is missing, there was clear evidence about those boys, and the people turned on the family, she had a right to call them criminals, all they’ve done is lie. Sometimes people don’t want to accept that their own people can be responsible for horrendous crimes 😑😩.

[@stephaniem9561]

Those islands are beautiful but there is a lot of criminal activity.

[@kieramcgregor]

Stephanie M yeah I can imagine! 😔But just the way that woman was shown telling them to go back home and they’ve had enough was just sad, I mean we are talking about a missing girl with strong evidence against those little fuckers 😬

[@PirateNikki]

Been following this story like a hawk from the day it was released. Im 90% sure I know what happened but even if he ever admits it (again aka "the ocean is a big place." On that undercover journalist show that got him to say that) #1 there is likely nothing left of her to find. And #2 even if you get him to admit it under a polygraph test, he could lie and pass it because he is such a bad pathological liar, he makes himself believe his lies. At least he ended up doing time (after having to lose another young woman life) but I doubt america will end up being able to extradite him when he gets out in the next like 7 years or whatever.
