Father of Natalee Holloway still searching for answers 10 years later

BIRMINGHAM, AL - It was around this time ten years ago when the disappearance of Natalee Holloway dominated news headlines across the country. The Mountain Brook teen vanished while on a trip to Aruba with other graduates in her class. While her case has never been solved, her parents have never given up hope her body will be found.{}The whole ordeal has been a nightmare for Dave Holloway. "I think we've lived through probably most parents' worst nightmare." It's been an endless parade of lies and false hope from the key suspect, and every so often a glimmer of hope that he will finally know what really happened to his daughter.We met Holloway at his office in Mississippi where he maintains a low key lifestyle. He now has a granddaughter by son Matt. "It hadn't really sunk in yet. It's like i'm getting old!" said Holloway with a big smile. Natalee's two half sisters are growing up fast and enjoy cheerleading competitions. "We're a little more protective of our children. There will certainly be no out of the country excursions without us," says Holloway.Natalee would have turned 29 later this year and likely have graduated from alabama and maybe made good on plans for medical school. He dad says she was an excellent student. "That's what hurts me the most how hard she worked at high school. Everything was laid out and all of the sudden it's gone," said Holloway."I just wish we had an answer." Frustrations with the investigation have lingered for ten long years. Politics, money, corruption.... the story had all the makings of a soap opera played out on an international stage. "I just can't imagine three guys who are 17-18 years old that they could not be interrogated by police officers and not break em," said Holloway.He was back in Aruba recently after an alleged witness re-surfaced saying he saw suspect Joran van der Sloot with Natalee at a Marriot hotel which was under construction. But police in Aruba have quickly discounted his claims saying his story doesn't match up with the construction timeline at the hotel. The witness said Natalee was dead and van der Sloot hid her body. He claims he didn't come forward at the time because he was involved in illegal activity. "Get one of your officers to agree to this search and I'll provide the resources to do it for you," offered Holloway. He says he will not give up.Joran van der Sloot is serving 28 years in Peru for murdering another young woman. "He's in a hard core prison. Based on his behavior, I said he'd kill someone else and sure enough he did." {} {} {}
