Justice for Natalee Holloway

---

Five years ago today, Alabama

teenager, Natalee Holloway...

... went to Aruba on a school trip

with friends and never returned.

Her story became

every parent's worst nightmare.

Natalee's mother, Beth, is with us

for an exclusive interview...

...on this somber anniversary.

- Good morning. Good to have you.

- Good morning.

Beth, talk about the fine line

between hope...

...and acceptance of reality.

Well, when this happened to Natalee,

my life was defined.

Defined with two children,

my marriage and a job.

Joran took my daughter's life

and mine.

He's still out there living his.

What can I say?

Ladies, they love me.

Kiss me.

After Natalee's disappearance,

I lost everything.

I lost that life.

This is my life now,

trying to get out and talk...

...and educate parents

and young people.

No other mother should ever get

the call I got five years ago today.

- Thank you, Beth.

- Thank you.

Come on, Mom.

Do you think they'll ever get

Joran Van Der Sloot?

I won't stop until we do.

Tell housekeeping

not to clean my room.

- Sure, no problem.

- My girl needs to sleep.

How did you know

Natalee was dead?

- People go into comas.

- Yeah, I was worried for that...

... but, you know,

it really scared me to death.

The girl's never gonna be found,

though, I'll tell you that.

Because she is in the sea?

Yeah.

Who helped you dump her?

A friend.

I'm not gonna say who or...

It wasn't my father, just a friend.

With a boat?

Yeah.

- Please, don't turn it off.

- I've seen it, numerous times.

Captain Fisher investigated.

The story makes no sense.

What are you talking about?

It's a confession.

He admits to dumping her

in the ocean while she was alive.

The man Joran claimed drove the boat

wasn't in Aruba. He was in Holland.

He's just covering for his father.

Paulus is still pulling the strings

right now.

That's enough.

This is insane. I have a confession.

I brought you a tape.

I've ordered the captain

to close the case.

- What?

- This meeting is finished.

Nobody has ever paid

for the death of my daughter.

Somebody has to pay for this crime.

- There she is. Beth, Beth.

- Beth?

Ms. Holloway, please.

How do you feel

about the judge's decision?

One question for you. Paulus, Paulus.

Mr. Van Der Sloot, over here.

How do feel

about the judge's decision?

You.

You're responsible for this.

Why won't you let the truth

come out?

This madness needs to stop.

No body, no crime, Miss Holloway.

Leave my son alone.

I'm sorry for your loss.

- What's next?

- Excuse me.

Think your son

will ever be charged?

What do think about...?

Once again, Aruba has refused...

...to prosecute the psychopath

who took my daughter from me.

Joran Van Der Sloot

is a vicious criminal.

I have him on tape bragging

about what he did...

...but Joran can say whatever

he wants, confess again and again...

...and Aruba will never do

a damn thing about it.

One more question.

Well, I'll be home tonight, Matt,

okay?

I love you, honey.

Okay, bye.

I cannot believe

I am leaving here again without her.

I just wanted a place to lay flowers.

You're the lawyer, John,

explain this to me.

Look, maybe it's time to let go.

Maybe it's time...

To what? Time to stop?

What would you do, John,

if this was your child?

When do you stop?

She's my daughter.

Don't ever tell me to let it go.

- Joran.

- Joran, can we ask a few questions?

What do you have to say

about Natalee's mother...

...calling you a psychopath

yesterday?

Are you enjoying this?

Pack.

What?

Why?

I will not have you bringing this.

You want to call attention...

...do it somewhere else.

- I have supper if anyone's hungry.

You think I want those cameras

in my face?

Yes, I do.

I needed to make money.

That's the only reason I talked

to Patrick.

I gave you everything.

- That's why...

- Go to school...

...and you need to do it

somewhere else.

I'll tell them to leave.

- Paul?

- You're kicking me out of the house?

I'm kicking you out

of the whole country.

Agent Delaney.

Beth. Hey, I'll catch up with you.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I just wanted to update you...

...and find out

if you have anything new on Joran.

If we receive new information on

Natalee's disappearance, we'll call.

You are still investigating it.

If this had happened

on American soil...

...it would be a different story.

I just wanna find out what happened.

You can understand that.

Listen, if there was anything

we could do, we would be doing it.

I promise you.

Beth, please, just go home...

...let us do our job.

- But you're not doing your job.

He's still out there.

Give me one.

I didn't know you could just...

...light up in class like that.

- Can't. I'm special.

My father's a dean.

Oh, so why do you even go

to class?

Why not just have him

fix your grades for you?

Don't know. Should ask him.

Where's a good place

to party around here?

My uncle on my mom's side

owns this club. Full of local girls.

Show them a dollar,

they do anything.

Forget the locals.

I have a thing

for blond American girls.

- That's a joke.

- You're all over the Internet.

Everyone thinks you're a killer.

You shouldn't believe everything

on Internet.

Trust me, dude, no American girl

is going near you.

Hey, it doesn't matter

what I'm famous for.

What matters is I'm famous.

You have the softest skin.

I am a junkie for your skin.

I'm obsessed

with everything about you.

I love the way you talk.

Saw a guy.

Gotta go talk to him. You stay put.

Don't flirt with the locals.

Sammy, come on.

Showtime.

That is Martin.

That is Wouter.

I know these guys from Holland...

...so don't piss them off.

Do you think about hanging out

with a better class of people?

Because of that crap in Aruba,

these are my people.

Let's make it work.

Hey, Wouter, this is Sam.

Sam gets the girls.

His balls big enough for the job?

Mine are big enough.

That's all you need to worry about.

- Know what we want?

- You want Thai girls...

...to dance in the clubs in Holland.

Yeah, something like that.

It's easy money, man.

You know the girls, I convince the girls

to get on a plane.

That's what I do.

I convince girls to do stuff.

- Hey.

- Jug, I don't know what to do.

Judge in Aruba dismissed the case.

The FBI says they can't do anything.

Joran is back in college, in Thailand,

getting on with his life...

...acting as if nothing

ever happened.

Everybody is getting on with their lives

and I'm back here and...

Oh, company, I'm sorry. I...

Oh, crap.

- Oh, Jug, I'm sorry.

- We've been divorced for two years.

- It's all right to forget my birthday.

- No, it's not.

Come and have a glass of wine.

You know most of the people here.

What else? Tell me everything.

You're teaching again?

Great. How's Matt? How's college?

Well, I'm not officially teaching yet...

...but I'm excited to get back

to the kids.

- Matt's good.

- Beth, hey, when did you get here?

You here to see the birthday boy?

I don't think I've seen you in forever.
