Significance of Beth's words on Dayside

There were countless comments, news reports about Joran van der Sloot meeting Natalee before that last night. There were supposed confrontations between Joran and some of the Mt. Brook young men. The most outrageous of all those accusing Joran was in this Joe Scarborough from July 13, 2005. Joe claims to have an inside source that told him about Natalee being hit by Joran. Joe announces this on his news show as a fact. Sadly it would be almost 10 months later that we find out this was not Joran at all. Joran never met any of the Mt. Brook teens, most certainly Natalee until that night.

Here is the excerpt from Fox's Scarborough Country.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Now, friend, let me tell you, I'm going to give you some information right now. It's information that you're not hearing on TV. It's information that you haven't heard certainly in the court system. Inside sources in this investigation tell me and have told me—and I found out earlier today that there are reports from people who are inside the bar that, actually, Natalee Holloway was approached twice by Joran van der Sloot.

Twice, he made passes towards her. Twice, she rebuffed him. The second time, she pushed him away. And a friend of hers from Birmingham from the school hit him with a closed—or, I'm sorry—Joran hit Natalee Holloway with a closed fist. Then this friend tried to walk in between the two and tried to stop him from aggressively going after her and suggested that he take it outside. If he wanted to fight somebody, he should fight somebody his own size.
