I think I did see it, but it's been a long time. The other very public case I remember is John Walsh. He and his wife nearly divorced after their very public loss of their son and Mr. Walsh's later public work on America's Most Wanted, but when I went to confirm that just now, I read that they have reconciled. Good news! It can be very hard to move on after such a tragedy, especially a very public one. Most of us don't have news reporters reporting every bump in the road and that part isn't easy either.

Your comments are on the mark. That movie is also a good recommendation as context to the subject. Illness and death of children often makes relationships beyond recovery.

I agree with you. It does not matter what political party they belong to. It has to have been hell going through what they have gone through the past couple years. Even strong marriages would have had it hard.

I feel sorry for all involved. Sad to say the least.

I still want to know how he ended up with the nickname "Jug"

I dunno, we had a Sheriff down south who was named Chunky Click. Part-time country singer too.

>Beth's still crazy, Natalee's still dead

There's a better chance
of Natalee showing up
alive and kicking

than of Crazy Beth
getting back on her rocker.
It's sad all around.

Who cares whether or not she is a lib?

What an astoundingly ignorant thing to say!

who the hell cares if the Mother is a lib or what..The death of a child is something that, unfortunately, tears marriages apart

Yes it is, and she has been blaming everyone else for it but herself.

I don't know what that has to do with anything. I suspected this would happen because (rightly) Beth became obsessed with bringing her daughters murderer(s) to justice and, as so often happens, any semblence of family life evaporates in the process. Their marriage probably didn't stand a chance from the day this all started, sad, but true.

I suspect Holloway's mother is a lib. Anyone else thinks that ?
______________

I couldn't give a flying rats a$$ about her politics.

She experienced a tragedy that (thankfully) few of us will ever experience. No closure at all, and obvious incompetence on the part of the authorities investigating the case.

I'm not sure I'd be a hoot to live with under those circumstances, either. How 'bout you.

Reducing this to a political equation is weird.

I don't think she's dead. I think she was kidnapped into white slavery. Joran van der Sloot did describe himself as a pimp.

If that is true (I don't think it is) then Beth has every right to turn over every stone to find her daughter.

I'm sure she's putting quite a bit of blame on herself.

She's lost her child and her husband now; is that not enough for you, or will you continue heaping scorn on this women now?

"One in particular, a bright young journalist who graduated from the University of Chicago went to south America and laughed when told he needed to get a full slate of immunization shots."

"Bright" isn't a word I would use to describe someone who "laughed when told he needed to get a full slate of immunization shots" before going to going to the jungles of South America.

I'm not surprised.

Her mom is obsessed with her daughter ... as a step parent this may grow old ...I'm not saying the divorce is right but guessing on why it is happening.
