Natalee Holloway Video

Before this all started I was playing around with sound and video editing a bit ... not sure how long this is going to stay here for several reasons.

Very touching Dan.
What does it mean; "Before this all started"?

[Angela]

Dan,
This was truly amazing. You have put so much time and effort into this mystery, I do not understand how anyone can say anything negative about you but keep ya head up! You have many loyal supporters and we apprecaite your efforts so so much!

That was beautiful. She may, in fact, be freeer than all the rest of us.

DAN, You have touched every aspect of the depth of emotions I have had for Natalee and her life and her loved ones. This was beautifully and tastefully done. Please do not take this down.

I just want to go wake up my 17 year old and hug him because hes safe at home with me. Its so hard to let them go and then something terrible happens like this. He won't be going on a senior trip without his parents. (won't be 18 till college) Thanks Dan.

Maybe web loggers do photoshopping - taking a pic and altering it, ofter for fun. I did that and was starting to experiment with video before this story started taking up most of my web logging time. See below for one - you have to click on the word "here" which is a hyperlink.

Dan, I think that you should send this to the cable news stations for the Natalee video to be played. I think especially Nancy Grace and Greta Van Sustren would play it. It is fantastic, are you a professional at this?

This right here is the statement that Croes makes that leads to something far more sinister than what he says. This is key to something he said on the Internet before this ever happened and a lot of people have copies of this "something" and he was really trying to get the "Dutch boy" out of trouble right there!

You're alluding to the bb posts that are removed or something, a mother calling for help? Or what are you not saying?

Thanks, Dan. That was beautiful, and very sad.
It must strengthen her families and friends to know such good people really care about their girl. I know it strengthens me.
Best!

wrong forum

Dan i'm sorry to say I was wondering how you could have made the Natalee video befor ehtis all started. Ouch!
Never Mind.

I've done some clumsy P-shop. I'll upload something.

This was amazing. As a 20 year old female who just moved an hour away from my parents, it makes me want to curl up in my mother's arms and cry and let her know how much she is appreciated. Being an hour away from my parents is hard enough, I couldn't imagine being worlds away, missing, my mother and father are my lifelines, I couldn't function without the two of them. Thank God everyday for your parents, I know I do. My prayers are with Natalee Holloway and her parents, God bless you.

We must keep the faith. Awesome video to help revive us!!!

that picture of Beth, :(

Thank you, Dan. Thank you.
B-Dog, if you are still reading this...SHAME ON YOU. This is about Natalee. Dan won't gain financially from your photo - it just helps us to gain a little perspective. Notice my pen name - I choose it 1-week after Natalee went missing. It is about JUSTICE and FREEDOM. Where would we be without either? SHAME ON YOU!

Dan, I am sooooo very moved. Thank you again. Please continue your efforts. DOn't let the LITTLE people stop you. You are someone our youth can look up to. THANK YOU

[MBMom2]

MrsJimiHendrix,

Great idea. I will go up to the school in the morning before I go to work and take a picture of the sign and email it to Dan. If he wants to use it, that's fine.

I just got throught showing the video to my son who graduated with Natalee. It moved him also.

Thank you again, Dan. That gets the word out about the funds set up to help the Holloway/Twitty family with the reward money. You've done an incredible job of keeping this story out there so that NO ONE forgets Natalee.

Faith, Hope and Prayer for Natalee!

[res_ipsa_loquitor]

Beautiful.

The video makes Nat real--she's not just a talking point a a web blog.

Once again,

Brilliant

[worldJOURNIER]

....Outstanding, Dan. Thank You.... Having seen LS on their original first big tour with the Who (and twice thereafter), I will, now, probably always think of Natalee when I hear "Freebird."

Please keep it available.

The things we take for granted.

Thank you Dan. God Bless the Holloway/Twitty Families. God Bless the World. Peace.

Dan

That video was absolutely beautiful!!! How thoughtful of you to take the time and the effort to put this on your website. Please don't take it down - it is so touching!

It's so very sad to think that Natalee might not ever be able to reach her full potential because one or more persons placed so little value on her life.

As for GWD referring to the high school walls and the ribbons....The wall with the ribbons shown in the video is the PRAYER WALL IN NATALEE'S church! How very self centered he is to be more concerned with lawsuits rather than being concerned with (hopefully) Natalee's safe return! Keep up the good work Dan!!

[clintcarter]

In the spirit of Memorial tributes...

My first P-shop composition. Back then I was using the clone stamp! These 2 were some of the very few slides that came out ok on the flatbed scanner I was using.

Very nice Clint - I like some of the polaroids, too.

[What'sthis]

Thanks, Dan, for a touching, uplifting tribute to a lovely, special young American.

[clintcarter]

thanks Dan

I really struggle over this story. It is much like the mystery of Amelia Erhart. Will we ever know the real story. I feel for Natalee's family and friends.

The facts (or timeline)

The 3 players say they dropped her off at the hotel (Not)

The 3 players say they went to the lighthouse (mmm)

The 3 players say they dropped JVDS and Natalee at the beach near the hotel and pond and landfill and wherever. (maybe)

JVDS says he left Natalee alone on the beach

The ground is hard to dig.

The body isn't in the pond. The body isn't in the landfill.

Searches can't find her.

F16's don't see anything

Given the timeline...1:30 to morning

If you killed her, where would you try to hide the body. Who do you know. Where would you go. (time is ticking)

I have trouble trying to believe she is on the island. I think there is more to what happened than just JVDS and the Kalpoes. I would think that she was not driven to the beach, but to some other place..underground club etc. The real crime happened there, (sent off the island, killed, etc). The reason JVDS and 2 monkeys won't talk is that they fear the real responsible party more than the law. I would think since she hasn't been found on the island the only thing left is that she was taken off the island.

No facts here, just doing the elimination of possibilities...whatever is left must be an option.

Any other thoughts.

I really do feel for her family and friends. This sort of thing is something that no one desereves. She truly was a beautiful young woman with a bright future.

[Fay]

Wow, People can really read into somethings when they want to, I love Freebird it's a song that reminds me of my youth, I made love for the first time to that song, I believe Natalee picked that song because she was looking forward to her future, there is a whole worl out there to explore, if she did run away that would be a blessing because she is beutiful and i would hate to think that someone killed her, but in my heart i feel something awful happened. I pray I am wrong. Nat if you are out there you need to let us know it has been long enough. If the person responsible for your disaperance is out there give your self up and end this now..
