  1. Aruba is like some sort of Epstein Island along with undisclosed violent acts. Boycott it!

  2. This lady never ages! She's a beautiful lady and strong mother who never gave up. Finally closure for her dear heart of a mother. ❤️

  3. Drinking alcoholic drinks is not for people as young as Natalee Holloway was.Especially don't get drunk in foreign countries you never been. You can hurt your mother,just like Beth Holloway said that she was hurt.Especially if you end up bludgeoned to death and die.

  4. So sad, if he would have did this year's ago maybe there could have been a body or remains recovered.

  5. As long as Natalee's parents and family members now have a measure of peace and a sense that some form of justice has been served that's all that matters. As far as I'm concerned this monster should never have a moment's peace or a decent night's sleep for the rest of his days. He's a liar, a manipulator and a double murderer. It's tragic that Aruba has such a short statute of limitations regarding murder. He cannot be prosecuted for Natalee's murder. But the Universe will exact its own form of justice called karma.

  6. She is an amazing and strong mother and woman. ❤

  7. I'm happy for Natalie's family to finally find out what happened to her.

  8. I always believed he was guilty of murder but his story of the details sounds suspicious. As a coward he would have run to his daddy IMO.

  9. Glad their family finally received justice

  10. I’m so happy you got the answers you’ve so deserved for so long!!!

  11. God forbid anything horrible happens to me, I wish I had someone like Beth Holloway fighting for justice. I think she always knew it was him from the get go – she was right. I'm glad that she finally got what she'd waited and prayed for – closure – for nearly 20 years she's had to fight.

  12. God Bless her and her whole family. I can't even imagine.. 💔

  13. The Jon-Benet Ramsey case is next.

  14. It is shameful that his parents tried to cover things up for this morally and mentally deficient man

  15. We all knew all those years ago. If the authorities in Aruba were competent, they would have put that animal in jail from the time she disappeared. Look what he went on to do? Guy is a criminal that got away and just cant run anymore. Happy to see the Holloway family finally get justice and closure for their daughter.

  16. That dirt bag kept her family in the dark all these years, taking pleasure in tormenting her mother. There's a higher justice that he'll never escape. When he stands before God, that smug smile will be gone and he'll get what's due him

  17. God bless Natalie's family. May she rest in peace now. I pray he gets tried and gets the maximum sentence possible for killing her and putting her family through the this nightmare.

  18. I can't remember the name but the book about this is fkn fantastic(ly written) and worth your while. Not my genre but I got hooked on it.

  19. I’m so sorry for you’re lost of your daughter! I can’t fathom loosing my beautiful daughter the way & amount of time you have had to suffer! May you find some solace in life to know that God had a better plan for your beautiful Natalie! God bless you!

  20. God bless you and your family. You fought a courageous fight and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

  21. Still it was very painful to her mother,theyshould let the guy rot in jail only to be release in a body bag,serve him right

  22. Justice will be served when some convict takes it out on Van der Sloot in the joint.

  23. That scum still didin't tell he whole truth. I'm sure he left out the part about how he sexually assaulted her while killing her.

  24. I wish that pain on no family, except trumps

  25. I feel like I want to cry for this family. I remember watching her case when I was 17 when this happened. I'm just glad this brought answers, closure and healing for her family.

  26. This creep isn’t a reputable source of information.

    He’s a pathological liar who has lied about many things in this case many times so why is this any different?

  27. I still would not be smiling

  28. God please bless this family with your Peace 🕊️ and help them to hold on to "Good" thoughts and memories! 🙏💞🥲

  29. Beth Holloway you are a beautiful, strong women. I admire your endless pursuit to bring your daughter's killer to justice. I hope you can finally have some peace of mind now.

  30. Now you Rest woman. Prayers to today.

  31. It's sad he is still alive. Every breath he takes is an abomination.

  32. women strong all day long 🎃👊

  33. Very happy and relieved for Natalee's parents and family members. The pain they have carried these last 18 years must have been horrible. Hopefully today they can begin healing.

  34. Hes still alive. ,married, has a child while in prison, yeah, I guess he's got it pretty bad, but th dumbest thing is parents still let their teenage kids travel abroad, how stupid can one be?

  35. Hallelujah for Holloway family !!!😊

  36. God rest her soul and your soul dear brave mother!

  37. I'm glad she finally got some closure. Van Dersloot is scum.

  38. Wow it took this long for him to confess! So sad. I never forgot about her disappearance ever since i read about it. She would have been 36 like myself. Hope u r resting in peace beautiful girl. May u always watch over your mom who never gave up and who keeps yours memory alive❤justice will be served!!

  39. So happy for you!! 🙏❤️

  40. Hisfather should be tried for hindering. I remember being so upset that I decided to never go to Aruba. Then he kills another woman, like a privileged psycho

  41. So glad he confessed! Happy for the peace it brought the family. The strength in the family, never giving up hope and getting a confession in the end. Hero’s in this story help me to believe I two , will one day get answers who killed my brother. God bless

  42. It's been a long hard Road for this family, and I'm so glad they finally have closure! May their lives be peaceful the rest of their days! May the guilty go to prison forever!!

  43. Bless this family. God, please work through the people so that justice descends upon this depraved man as he deserves.
