The "Natalee Holloway" movie on Lifetime was more of a twisted reality of a drunken Mother.
I love true story movies, but a movie about something 100.000 persons lived for over 4 years, that had nothing to do with the reality... that I don't like. Last nighte Lifetime Movie Network premiered the movie about the Natalee Holloway case, based on part on a book filled with unreal events that happened during the summer of 2005 and years after.
In the first 15 minutes, you can already see that the producers did not even follow the lies the mother wrote in her book, but created their own.
But some facts supported by witnesses and statements in hand of the police:
- Beth Reynolds arrived in Aruba by sunset (as depicted by the movie and some statements by the mother herself on National TV, but not like she wrote in her book).
- The mother arrived on a private jetplane with already made posters with the word "KIDNAPPED", did not make these on the island, as depicted in the movie.
- She received the call on her cellphone while driving on the interstate and was over one hour far from her home (as claimed in her book and on National TV), not as depicted in the movie that she received that her friend's house and was immediately home after speeding.
- Natalee was only 18 while Joran v/d Sloot was 17, a minor.
- The home of v/d Sloots was depicted as a mansion trying to portray the family as millionaires, while in reality they lived in a modest home, no high walls or gates and no expensive or exotic cars.
- In the movie, they depicted the mother walking unexpectedly in a copier/internet place where she confronted one of the Kalpoe brothers and talked nicely to him, while in reality, this was a setup by the mother, where she was all mic'ed up and had cameras with her when they drove all the way from the hotels to confront one of the Kalpoes at his work, and insulted him as can be seen on the FoxNews film. That was the reason why the lawyers send her a letter to back-off from the Kalpoe brothers.
- In the movie she was depicted as a crying mother, calling for other nations not to let the Kalpoe brothers walk free in their countries, because they were criminals that committed a crime against her daughter. In reality, the next day, the mother had to retract those statements since she had no evidence of what happened to her daughter and the police nor the FBI had any evidence that a crime was committed. This of course was not shown in the movie.
What we missed in the movie:
The thousands of local men and women looking all around the island for her daughter and the hundreds of police and marines searching.
The parties Beth Twitty organized weeks after she first landed in Aruba, Casino nights, gambling, free food (Hooters and Tony Roma's), lodging and booze at local restaurants. Even having champagne with other American reporters at fancy restaurants (Hostaria d'Avitorrio), on account.
The millions spent in the investigation, the F-16 deployed all the way from Holland, the dozens of European experts, and FBI agents working on this case from day one.
They did not portray the fact that the initial suspects in the case, the boys, were being followed, monitored and electronically surveilled by the police since the beginning and not like they portrayed in the movie that the boys were "free" for 10 days.
Did not show the use of drugs by the Alabama teenagers, and what all they did to get to these, from selling their cameras to Ipods. And the FBI statements where they show that Natalee was seen with Cocaine with her and that one fellow student said that she experimented with drugs.
How much time, does a person or group of person need to have people in place, contacts and a private plane ready to fly, via Miami to Aruba and still make it at sunset, 6 hours after receiving the first call that the daughter was not at the airport. And when receiving this call, you were one hour away from home?
Did not show the first person that Beth came to Aruba looking for: A Dutch marine; a blue eyed blond guy. How could she know this was the person to look for? Joran v/d Sloot was not blond nor was he blue eyed.
The movie did not show the numerous people that saw Natalee after she disappeared.
Nor handled the other side of the story, where friend claimed that Natalee was not happy at home and made several attempt to move to her biological father. Nor the claims made by the family in a local cab, that Natalee was not completely fine after rehab and needed attention, thus the need for a medicare jet on the tarmac for a couple of days. Nor the claims that Natalee might have been molested by family member. Nor the fake document that Beth Twitty brought from a hospital (signed by a nurse) for the Prosecutors in Aruba to prove that Natalee did not have any medical or psychological problem nor have been in rehab. What happened to all this?
And where the millions the mother collected over the years went. None was in the searches, every search done in Aruba was paid for by donations from Arubans and tax payers from Aruba and the Netherlands. Even the special boat sent to Aruba by the father, was not paid by the mother, but by Texas Equu Search that used MILLIONS of dollars of American donation in this adventure. Last time that Dave sent a cadaver team to Aruba for two weeks back in February, was paid not by Beth and her millions but by Dave himself, who did not receive one single dime from the bookdeal and the moviedeal that is making Beth wealthier.
The movie also did not show the illegal thing that the mother and friends did to have people in jail without the necessary prove. Like the false witnesses that the family brought for the police and made them lose time in the investigation, for example the Condom guy, the Jogger, the Monserat guy, the Girl that was "raped" by Joran (who even an American judge was used to verify a statement the Girl never made, the lady that saw three men with shovel in plain day days after the disappearance.
Also did not show what the false evidences planted by the family and friends, like the manipulation of recorded video and took the audio to portray that the boys raped the girl, while in the original video and audio, the boy denied everything and even tried to explained to Mr. Skeeters, hired by Dr. Phil, that everything went very simple that night, nothing happened. There is now a lawsuit against Dr. Phil, Skeeter's Estates and CBS in California going on. The film also did not show, that the FBI and the NFI did the analysis and proof that the tapes were manipulated.
The movie also did not show the real Beth Twitty who on TV, spoke bad about the Aruba and the Netherlands, calling them corrupt for not helping her, forgetting that the case already took thousand of manhours and over 10 millions dollars. She called for a boycott of a nation based on her perception of what happened, not caring about the 100.000 innocent people living in Aruba. The movie also did not show, how hatefull and revengefull her followers were and still are, by making terrorists threats against Aruba (like the now jailed Mammana) and sending death threaths to dozen of Arubans and even Americans supporting the island of Aruba.
The movie did not depict the horror and nightmare the Arubans had to endure during months in the hands of Beth Twitty, Jug Twitty, Nancy Grace and Greta van Susteren who night after night slandered the Aruban people and even went further to slander the Dutch and everything Dutch.
The movie did not make Natalee Holloway look good or even her mother, Beth Reynolds.
