Reacting to the interview with Greta, Natalee's stepfather, Jug Twitty will offer this. "I understand Anita's feelings, but Beth's feelings are ten times worse." Jug said that in the initial days after Natalee's disappearance, Paul van der Sloot told one of the Kalpoe brothers and his son Joran not to talk to her family. The night of the "posse visit," Paul was saying, "you say nothing!" Jug feels that the father and the son know more than what they are saying right now.
Beth Holloway Twitty has insisted in every interview, almost since that first night, that the Kalpoes and Joran know what happened to her daughter, and if the police would only press them harder to tell the truth they would have answers by now. She also keeps questioning why after only a couple hours of interrogation initially, they were let go for ten days before they were arrested.
Of course, in all fairness, Anita van der Sloot said the same thing in her interview to Fox News. She said, "Joran should have been interrogated from the beginning. Why did they let the kids go?"
Natalee's father, who we have heard little from up until this point, feels confident that the investigation is going in the right direction and would be solved. He says this in spite of the dozens of searches by officials and volunteers that have all turned up nothing so far. "I am optimistic," Dave Holloway would say in an interview with the Associated Press. "The FBI has indicated to me that the Aruban police are very adequate and doing a good job." Dave also voiced almost the exact same words of his ex wife, " these three boys hold the key to the investigation. They cannot commit the perfect crime."
