    OCALA - After spending weeks in Aruba investigating the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, a Marion County man says he knows exactly what treachery befell the Alabama teenager, and begins a call for American justice on a national platform today. Arthur Wood, a retired Secret Service agent living in the SummerGlen community southwest of Ocala, has been on the front line of trying to solve the mystery surrounding Holloway's May 30 disappearance during her high school graduation trip to the tiny southwest Caribbean island. Acting first as an unpaid consultant for two Aruban newspapers, Wood put 21 years of investigative skill...

    BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The stepfather of Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teen who disappeared in Aruba in 2005, has filed for divorce from Holloway's mother, Beth Twitty. George "Jug" Twitty filed divorce papers in Jefferson County Circuit Court on Dec. 29. The court filing said the couple separated Dec. 15 and have "such a complete incompatibility of temperament that the parties can no longer live together." The Birmingham News reported the court filing Friday. Jug Twitty declined comment on the divorce proceedings, and a phone message left for Beth Twitty on Friday was not immediately returned. The couple attracted international attention...

    Authorities have made an arrest in the case of a young Alabama woman who disappeared while vacationing in Aruba, an Aruban official said Saturday. The arrest is connected with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, according to a source who spoke with MSNBC TV. The person arrested is believed to be an acquaintance of Dutch national Joran van der Sloot and Surinamese brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, who were seen leaving an Aruban bar with the 18-year-old American the night she disappeared, the source said. Mariaine Croes, a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor’s office, said Aruban authorities were not prepared to...

    A 'tension convention' - that's how Don Imus would have described the ill-concealed ill will on this morning's Fox & Friends Weekend between Juliet Huddy and Julian Phillips. Huddy is a former host of the show who was making a guest co-hosting appearance. She wasted no time in setting the confrontational tone. In her opening comments, Juliet congratulated host Gretchen Carlson on "doing a fantastic job" then pointed to Phillips saying "and Julian, you're doing a . . . " as her voice trailed off in a sarcastic riff. "I decided to come back to harrass you," Huddy continued, as...

    NEW YORK (AP) - The parents of Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teen who went missing during a high school graduation class trip in Aruba last May, have sued a youth who was questioned in connection with her disappearance. The lawsuit, filed late Thursday in Manhattan's state Supreme Court, seeks unspecified money damages against Joran van der Sloot, 18, and his father. Both were served with a summons while in New York, Holloway family lawyer Scott Balber said. Holloway, 18, of Mountain Brook, Ala., was last seen May 30 leaving a bar with Surinamese brothers Deepak Kalpoe, 21, and Satish Kalpoe,...

    Greta came on with blockbuster development. Twitty's attorney, John Q. Kelly, apparently had the moves of the Vandersloots under extreme scrutiny. The Vandersloot parents had flown to NYC for an interview with ABC .. Joran was en route from the Netherlands to NYC to meet with them. Kelly had a former law enforcement official seated 3 seats in front of Joran on the plane, and when they were on American soil and were about to deplane, he served papers on Joran for 3 counts. Simultaneously, the Vandersloot parents were served in NYC ... the father charged with 1 count. Greta...

    On October 7, 1985, Americans were treated to one of the first more "intimate" instances of nascent terrorist activity when four members of a Palestinian Liberation Organization faction hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro, ostensibly to forcibly bring about the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. During the incident, the terrorists shot an elderly, wheelchair-bound Jewish passenger from the United States named Leon Klinghoffer to death and dumped his body overboard. It was one of the most hideous acts American news viewers had seen up to that point, though still occurring far from our shores. There followed a...

      Deserve’s Got Nothin’ To Do With ItNovember 17, 2005 Being one of a dozen or so people who made the mistake of watching MSNBC last Friday, I now know two things: (1) Why MSNBC is approaching a zero viewership (it’s rating are actually a bit better than the Hearing Loss Network News) and (2) You deserve what you get when you ask for it.   It really is possible to be an academically well educated airhead and MSNBC’s Lisa Daniels is living proof.  Academic credentials are no substitute for the preponderance of intellectual independence necessary for the strength of common sense...

    AMSTERDAM — The government of Aruba wants US President George W. Bush to intervene to stop a tourist boycott of the autonomous Dutch island in the Caribbean. Alabama governor Bob Riley called for a nationwide travel boycott of Aruba because he accuses the island authorities of not fully cooperating in the search for missing Alabama school graduate Natalee Holloway (18). Natalee's mother, Beth Holloway-Twitty, joined Riley for the announcement of the boycott. Riley asked his fellow governors to join him in urging the boycott of Aruba, CNN reported on Tuesday. "There are no other alternatives to get Aruban authorities to...

    MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Alabama Gov. Bob Riley called for a travel boycott of Aruba on Tuesday until authorities on the Dutch Caribbean island cooperate more fully with the family of a Mountain Brook teenager who has been missing since a graduation trip in May. Riley asked the governors of the other 49 states to join him in urging a boycott of Aruba on behalf of the family of Natalee Holloway, an 18-year-old Mountain Brook High graduate last seen on the island May 30. Her mother, Beth Holloway-Twitty, joined Riley at the Alabama Capitol for the boycott announcement. She contends Aruban...

    Five months after Alabama teen Natalee Holloway disappeared, her family remains steadfast in their search for clues surrounding her disappearance. Natalee's father, Dave Holloway, and her mother, Beth Holloway-Twitty, have both done their part to keep their daughter's memory alive and her name in the news headlines. Both Dave and Beth have returned to Aruba numerous times, searching for clues and confronting the Aruban government about their investigation of Natalee's case. Just last week, Dave, accompanied by EquuSearch - a search and recovery team for missing persons - discovered a makeshift memorial for Natalee. A small wooden cross, surrounded by...

    Natalee Holloway's family is calling for the removal of three Aruban law enforcement officials who they say ignored promising leads and didn't take the case seriously early on. The Mississippi native vanished while on a school trip to Aruba with her Mountain Brook (Ala.) High School graduating class and was last seen leaving a bar on May 30 with Dutch national Joran van der Sloot and Surinamese brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. Holloway's family made the charges in a letter released Thursday. Natalee's father, Dave Holloway of Meridian, said the family is not giving up on seeing the case solved,...

    As reported by tPC weeks ago, Deepak Kalpoe told a polygraph expert that he and his brother and Satish had sex with missing Mountain Brook teen Natalee Holloway on the Dr. Phil show. According to the new police chief in Aruba, the change in Deepak Kalpoe's statement could have a profound effect on the case. "They always denied having sex with this young girl," said Deputy Chief Gerald Dompig, according to the AP. "And so, in looking at the tapes, to watch if this is really what this gentleman has said, then it is totally contrary to what he has...

    AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - An 18-year-old Dutch man who had been held by police on the Caribbean island of Aruba in connection with the disappearance of an American tourist arrived in the Netherlands on Tuesday. Joran van der Sloot and his father arrived at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, ignored questions from reporters, and quickly departed. The 18-year-old was to attend college in Holland, his mother said. Van der Sloot, a resident of Aruba, and two Surinamese brothers who were suspects in the disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway were released on condition they remain available to police. Holloway was last seen...

    All three suspects in the disappearance of an Alabama teenager were released from jail Saturday in a setback for the prosecution and the biggest blow yet to Natalee Holloway's family. Joran van der Sloot, an 18-year-old Dutchman, and two Surinamese brothers, Satish Kalpoe, 18 and Deepak Kalpoe, 21, were released on condition they remain in Dutch territory and be available to police for questioning. The Kalpoe brothers emerged from prison dressed in jeans, carrying black plastic bags and accompanied by their lawyers. "It's a happy day for the Kalpoe family," said David Kock, an attorney for Satish. At his home...
