I’m old enough to remember this whole thing. I admire Beth beyond words. I’m so blessed to belong to a mother who would fight this hard for me. RIP Natalie 💔
@@bryanb3352 Her persistence is why he was ever brought to justice 20 years later. There was hardly an investigation. She got on a plane to find her missing daughter and stayed in Aruba for months. After years of back n forth and raising cain to keep the search going, she used all her own finances to fund it. She’s the true definition of a mama bear. She realized some time into it that there were inconsistencies in Joran’s story and years later said she believed Natalee was murdered but his father gave him an alibi.
Unbelievably sad. Beth Holloway never let up trying to get the truth. Eighteen years is a lifetime for this famIly and friends. May Natalie finally Rest In Peace.
@@HerbertFlowers-l3h It gives closure to the family, to know what actually happened and to know for sure that he did it. If you don't understand the importance of this for the family, then there is no further explaining.
I remember watching this in elementary all over the news and it never sat right in my soul. Her story changed how I looked at ppl in regards to being careful as a young woman. I’m now 24 and the world finally has the details of what happened! I thought he would never tell. God bless her beautiful soul 💕😔
Can't believe that Natalee has been gone almost longer than she was here. Sad, but I'm happy that her family has finally gotten justice for her and hopefully they're all at peace now.
Just horrible that he brutalized that poor girl because she wouldn’t be with him. What a vile creep he is- hopefully her family is able to find some small measure of peace now that they have an answer.
It's about time. This is the town I'm from and it has been so hard to watch her family go through this for all these years. I wish them the very best going forward and I am so very very sorry for their loss.💜
It's sad how someone like him can just end a life like that so randomly. Poor girl did nothing wrong, except have the misfortune of randomly meeting him on a high school trip. It's scary and sick.
Though proud of Beth’s tenacity & happy for her closure, Natalee’s demise is a cautionary tale. She was in a foreign country, alone at night & very intoxicated. Please do NOT leave your friend under any one of those three circumstances!
If his father had been a man, enough to turn his son in when this first happened, it would have spared all the people's grief, and Stephanie Flores would be alive.
And possibly his father Paulus would be alive today as well....he might have lost his status though Paulus was a weakling idiot, Anita was a very narcissistic individual... Joran was the king of the castle that eventually crumbled...Paulus kept repeating ad nauseam no body no case.
van der Sloot should have received the death penalty, especially after all these years that he failed to admit that he killed her as if he didn't do it, even though everyone knew he did. Maybe someone in prison will serve him justice on Natalee and her family's behalf.
Damn poor Mama got her soul blistered, Never heard that one before but it's sure sounds like its beyond heart breaking 😢😢 Mom will forever be heartbroken and have a wounded soul. Especially knowing how how daughters last moments were like. Hope Mom finds peace one day and may her daughter rest in peace.
It must be so excruciating to lose and child and not know what happened. I'm so glad to hear she finally has some closure. She can now heal fully. Her love for her daughter was always apparent. May Natalee's soul rest in peace. They will be reunited again. ❤
My husband and I have followed this crime for 18 years. We all knew he did it. Poor Beth. She has pursued this monster like a pit bull to get answers. He will be behind bars until he dies. He’s a psychopath.
… unfortunately… the mother’s words to Van der sloot of her years of pain have absolutely no affect on him … he is mentally incapable of any feelings of remorse or empathy … a true psychopath … if anything, he gets satisfaction from others pain …
Even though he didn't admit to it,, I would be shocked if she wasn't raped. I always thought he killed her so she wouldn't tell of the assault. He is a narcissist and sociopath.
@@HerbertFlowers-l3h The article didn't say he admitted to it and she apparently died while fighting him off. I re-worded my comment. I still think he did. Someone like that wouldn't be able to stop himself.
Why is he allowed to kiII multiple Women and not Iose his life? Why is he going to be a free man after taking multiple lives? Why are Men like him allowed to treat Women like this?
This is a tragic story and my heart has gone out to her family. I am so sorry for their loss. But at the same time I am also very sorry that a black woman went missing the same day in Birmingham Alabama. Her husband donated $10,000 to help find Natalie so he could get on the local news for someone to help him find his wife. We still don’t know what happened to her and no one seems to care. I’m happy that Natalie’s murderer will be punished but I also can’t forget this poor man trying to find his wife. For me the two are infused together.
It would be so hard never knowing!!!!! Your soul could never rest wondering about a child. I believe there are more than two that he murdered. He traveled and knew where he could get by with this at.
So when will Joran get out of jail? 12th of never. So sad and senseless. RIP Natalee and Stephany.❤ I’m so sorry you crossed this killer’s path. I think the nightmare never ends. Not really. 😢
20 years ain't long enough. Maybe a little prison Justice will happen his way. If there was another man there that witnessed this he should be sharing the sentence
I remember him trying to paint Natalee as some loosey goosey, only to hear that she was the total opposite and that’s why he killed her. No surprise she didn’t want to sleep with him. Women should be able to say no and walk away with their lives!!!!
He did, but it was one of the many different versions he lied about..plus Aruba police wasn't willing to charge him without a body...his father kept repeating no body no case.
Everyone knows he killed her 18 years ago. It's just never could convict and prove it. So glad to know this family has some peace. I cannot imagine how hard this has been for them.
It has me riveted to look at the laws in Aruba. This man should get life for both murders or frankly really the death penalty.. 20 years? With any luck the men in prison will give him the life he deserves. He’s total evil! I am happy Beth now has closure. She knows what happened to her beautiful daughter. So unfair and she should still be here. My heart always goes out to them. We have followed this as a country for almost two decades. It’s hard to imagine how it took this man this long to tell what happened and to confess. Beth is a warrior. Truly a warrior. I hope she and her family can now go on with life and have peace.
Actually he lives well in the Peru prison the Peru justice system has a duty to keep him safe as a Dutch national...he deals drugs, has a wife and a child with conjugal visits...not sure he'd get that in Alabama.
I NEVER watch CBS, they Iack credibiIity on so many issues, but this incIuded Beth talking, and I'II beIieve what she says without someone eIse's "version". and "embeIIishments".
he killed someone and evaded justice for years while committing other crimes. why he got only 20 years? If this is the maximum sentence they can impose, why don't they make him serve the two sentences consecutively? This is too good for him.
This creeps parents created such a monster. God love both of these young ladies families,especially Beth who had to wait so many years to find out what happened to her daughter.
I’m not sure what’s going on through other guys heads when they get turned down like that. I don’t want ANY woman who doesn’t want me. I wouldn’t waste another second of my life trying to persuade anyone either. If it’s not freely offered to connect with me, that person isn’t worth my attention/effort. The egos of guys like this are so fragile.
How terrible… and May he now have the return flow … if I were able to give him his punishment he would never see the light of day again… a real honest evil sicko
Our Dearest Mother, thanks for never giving Up❤. As the final chapter of her book ends....somewhere around God's sweet Throne y'all will meet again....
The devil! Teach your sons that women are not objects. Teach them that they are not entitled to anything! Rape is about power and control, not sex. Obviously he proved this by murdering her.
IMHO, if the person murdered someone intentionally , the death penalty must be for that crime. What kind of justice is it, if the murderer is living in prison and enjoying life? It's not humanity, it's stupidity!😡😡
I hope that the Truth will Finally help Her in Her Grief and Pain. My Heart is With Her as well as my Prayers!! I'm so sorry it won't help Her in Her Life and Forgiveness because you NEVER FORGET, Even if you Forgive. Find Comfort in Jesus & God.
I’m old enough to remember this whole thing. I admire Beth beyond words. I’m so blessed to belong to a mother who would fight this hard for me. RIP Natalie 💔

🙏🏼I’m so sorry, I’ve watched this since day one, I’m relieved for the mom💜
My gosh, unimaginable
What this mother has gone through
Finally justice
No, it wasn't justice.
Just horrible that he brutalized that poor girl because she wouldn’t be with him. What a vile creep he is- hopefully her family is able to find some small measure of peace now that they have an answer.
Happens everyday in our country, where you hibernating mama bear?
Bless this family ❤

Never visit a foreign country and STRAY WITH SOMEONE YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT
Though proud of Beth’s tenacity & happy for her closure, Natalee’s demise is a cautionary tale. She was in a foreign country, alone at night & very intoxicated. Please do NOT leave your friend under any one of those three circumstances!
Stupidity could cost a young woman her life, it's a common problem in our country.

I remember also there were 2 other guys involved. Aruba police did not followed up properly.
OMG, so horrible, but she fought and she was NOT raped.
???????? youre weird
this momma deserves justice for her daughter . she fought and clawed her way through and finally got the sad truth. God bless her .
van der Sloot should have received the death penalty, especially after all these years that he failed to admit that he killed her as if he didn't do it, even though everyone knew he did. Maybe someone in prison will serve him justice on Natalee and her family's behalf.
Poor girl, condolences to family
Hell of a mother.
Damn poor Mama got her soul blistered, Never heard that one before but it's sure sounds like its beyond heart breaking 😢😢
Mom will forever be heartbroken and have a wounded soul. Especially knowing how how daughters last moments were like. Hope Mom finds peace one day and may her daughter rest in peace.
I remember when this first happened, thankfully justice has been done.

I remember this case was huge back when it first occurred. I was so invested in it as well as my entire family.
Good! She is an awesome mom!
This mom is a warrior, I've heard her fight for years, well done mom. Hugs and prayers!
This is a horrible crime but a learning experience if you go to a foreign country stay with your group!
I hope Beth can find some peace now. It was a long road, but you did it Beth. Natalie is so proud of you. 💕
What a monster
But him a wyt man 👨 🙄 😕 😒
condolences to Holloway family and now we know for happened to Natalee, Natalee would have great life as doctor , rip Natalee and Stephany Flores
My husband and I have followed this crime for 18 years. We all knew he did it. Poor Beth. She has pursued this monster like a pit bull to get answers. He will be behind bars until he dies. He’s a psychopath.
He is out in 2045...
I'm looking forward to his father also being charged for aiding and abetting
He passed away
…won’t ever happen…his father passed away a while back.
I believe his father died from shame
Bozo his father'
His father's dead😊
He deserves life in prison. 20 years is a far cry from justice
Only 20 years? He took the lives of two young women. He will have plenty of time to do it again in 20 years
How awful but be proud of Natalie! Sorry for your loss 😢

You stated he raped her, not the article
Thank God for the closure for this family.
Why is he allowed to kiII multiple Women and not Iose his life? Why is he going to be a free man after taking multiple lives? Why are Men like him allowed to treat Women like this?
Bless you Beth,for never giving up,
I’m glad the family got closer. I remember JonBenét Patricia Ramsey mother died never knowing what happened to her daughter
JonBen'et dad is married to Beth Halloway Natalee mom. They met through grief.
@@weaponizedglitter69Mom is with her baby now ❤
@@weaponizedglitter69He's married to a woman named Jan, since 2011.
And they would choose to believe this tale why? Why not any of his other stories?
I’m sorry!?
Don’t be pitiful, ffs…
THAT ENTIRE FAMILY KNOWS.
Hopefully karma will get him in prison!
It's been a few years and we still haven't found Malaysia Airlines flight 370. This looks like the work of Joran Van Der Sloot!!! Love you Norm...
So sad…
My heart broke for Beth years ago.

I'm so happy for the family.
Condolences to the Holloway family.
She died fighting, with dignity and strength and wasn't going to allow that monster to rape her. Bless her soul and give strength to her family 🙏
We only have his word though, and he is not a trustworthy person
Finally Natalee's family has closure. Natalee was a strong moral girl and that's a bit of comfort for her mother especially, I believe.
It would be so hard never knowing!!!!! Your soul could never rest wondering about a child. I believe there are more than two that he murdered. He traveled and knew where he could get by with this at.
How was it that a body never showed up?
Sharks ate it
Mama is a strong woman. Lord grant her Peace❤❤🙏
So when will Joran get out of jail? 12th of never. So sad and senseless. RIP Natalee and Stephany.❤ I’m so sorry you crossed this killer’s path. I think the nightmare never ends. Not really. 😢

typicaI psychopath, bIame someone eIse for their crimes. Reminds me of poIitics.
Why do you believe this version of his story? Just curious.
What will Nancy Grace do?
Finally! We always knew he did it.
He’s lied before, why should this time be any different?
What kind of friends let her go on her own with that monster devil creature!
They should have said no you’re not going and followed!!! Especially in another country! If I was her friend I would have protected her like a hawk!!
Respect for Beth Halloway!
He was on the verge of being a serial killer.
Hopefully, the remaining 40+ years of his life in prison are hell on earth..
*_They just said it’ll be concurrent to the sentence he’s serving right now in Peru!!_*
He only has 22 yrs left to serve...out in 2045.
I thought that undercover detective got a confession on tape yrs ago?
He did, but it was one of the many different versions he lied about..plus Aruba police wasn't willing to charge him without a body...his father kept repeating no body no case.

I hope the prison system in Peru isn't as accomodating as here in the US
Actually he lives well in the Peru prison
the Peru justice system has a duty to keep him safe as a Dutch national...he deals drugs, has a wife and a child with conjugal visits...not sure he'd get that in Alabama.
I bet he confessed to get out of the Peruvian prison system.
Amen 💞 Mom
Why is he allowed to serve for 2 murders at the same time? He is not safe to be out.
Where's the body?
Shark poop
I’m sorry but why believe him now? He has lied so many times so I don’t get how they can believe him….even in the slightest. I hope they find peace.
I NEVER watch CBS, they Iack credibiIity on so many issues, but this incIuded Beth talking, and I'II beIieve what she says without someone eIse's "version". and "embeIIishments".
Exactly
This creep is a compulsive liar, so why should anyone believe what he says now?
What a shocking n sad case
Horrendous. So sorry for Natalee's family & Stephany's family. Much LOVE.
The same thing he did to her,should be done to him.period.
he killed someone and evaded justice for years while committing other crimes. why he got only 20 years? If this is the maximum sentence they can impose, why don't they make him serve the two sentences consecutively? This is too good for him.

I’m so glad Natalee’s mother didn’t get further involved with John Ramsey.
She’s been thru hell over & over.
Thankful she has answers.
She should of never strayed without friends in her company, this man was a predator. Especially in a foreign country
I thought this guy was caught confessing in a car ride with his friend like 10 years ago
Where is "justus for all"?
How can it be for all when it's just us?
How terrible… and May he now have the return flow … if I were able to give him his punishment he would never see the light of day again… a real honest evil sicko
Hopefully they can finally bring her home..
So happy Natalie’s mother got what she needed
He should get the death penalty wtf is the plea dealing crap. These lawyers should be sent to jail for doing this.
Oh.. he came up with a new story to help himself?
Our Dearest Mother, thanks for never giving Up❤. As the final chapter of her book ends....somewhere around God's sweet Throne y'all will meet again....
What a monster. A Peruvian prison might be too good for him (and I hear they are quite unpleasant).
Finally. He wants another interview $$$
That's what happens when you go out with strangers.
It wasn’t a mystery everyone knew he did it!
Why cannot Aruba bring him up on charges in the case of her death ? Now since he confessed!
His dad was a prominent person in Aruba.
Statute of limitations in Aruba is 12 yrs...over and done with.
The devil! Teach your sons that women are not objects. Teach them that they are not entitled to anything! Rape is about power and control, not sex. Obviously he proved this by murdering her.
He could be lying again though, he’s lied about this case in the past.
You can’t believe a word he says
IMHO, if the person murdered someone intentionally , the death penalty must be for that crime. What kind of justice is it, if the murderer is living in prison and enjoying life? It's not humanity, it's stupidity!😡😡
In the US, the death penalty can drag on 10-20 more years.
It’s also a lot more expensive to have too
I hope that the Truth will Finally help Her in Her Grief and Pain. My Heart is With Her as well as my Prayers!! I'm so sorry it won't help Her in Her Life and Forgiveness because you NEVER FORGET, Even if you Forgive. Find Comfort in Jesus & God.
This has been a longtime coming..
Finally the Mother gets justice closure i dunno..
But Finally he confessed 😢
He threw her body in the water.
Awesome to see that her mother has finally accomplished.... nothing.
Exactly
Add to the fact this creep has lied about stuff in the past, so why should anyone believe him now?
