ORANJESTAD(AAN): A press conference related to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway took place on Wednesday morning.

The conference was given by two Americans, Dan Young and Kelly Castillo, people who work in the spiritual world [mediums]. However, they did not mention if the information they brought, they obtained via their talents. Dan Young started to say that some years have passed since they approached Beth Twitty. This is the 4th time they come to Aruba.

According to Young, the truth has to come out now and what Beth Twitty has said from the beginning was not true. He said that they have all the evidence to prove this. According to Young, Beth knows that they are in Aruba to divulge the truth.

The so-called “timeline” that Beth spoke about is very important in what regards Joran and the other suspects. This, according to Young, who continued to say that Beth knew that Natalee did not want to go back home. Beth also knew that Natalee was alive weeks after she supposedly died [according to Young].

In her book and on various programs, Beth lied that she arrived in Aruba at 11:00 at night on May 30. She arrived at 7:45 at night, because she got a tip that Natalee was thinking of never returning home. According to Young, he spent his own money to help Aruba and the 3 young men accused in this case.

Knowing that Natalee was alive, Beth thought that Joran had hidden Natalee because Natalee was running away from the sexual abuse that was happening at home. Mrs. Twitty at the time asked Joran and his family to take a “lie detector test”. This is according to Young, who continues to say: “Beth, it hurts us to do this, but you and Jug Twitty have to take a lie detector test, because you knew that this was not the first time Natalee ran away from home”.

“You have to be honest with everyone and pay back Holland and Aruba all the money that they spent on this case. You are on Oprah today and the timeline in your book does not fit with reality.” This is according to Young, who said that he has Beth recorded on tape when he confronted her with the fact that she arrived in Aruba at 7:45 pm, while she had said that it was at 11:00 pm.

When Beth was confronted with this, she said: “I am not worried because it was a year and a half ago.” Beth also told him: “It’s not important who Natalee was with, I just want her body to be found because I know she is dead.” According to Young, when he told Beth that he recorded the conversation, Beth got scared. He continued saying that Julie Renfro, Karen Janssen and other people heard this recording and when he got to the U.S. he found out the the poster that Beth speaks of in her book, which was the first posted that was published, was not the first poster.

The first poster did not mention kidnapping or something to the effect. “You knew and were sitting pretty, while everyone in the U.S. was feeling sorry for you” [said Young].

The important thing is to clear the names of Joran, Satish and Deepak. DIARIO asked Young if Natalee is alive or dead and he said that Beth herself said a year and a half ago that her daughter was dead and that she wants her body.

DIARIO asked Young how the 3 original suspects are not the guilty ones. According to Young, Beth spoke with Natalee via cell phone on the private jet flight [to Aruba].Beth Twitty’s best friend, Carol Standefur admitted that she knew of the sexual abuse that took place at the Twitty home.

Young continued to say that Natalee did not want to go back home and that her friends knew that she was pregnant. There were people in Aruba who helped hide Natalee so that her parents wouldn’t find her. How is it that if your child disappears, you yourself ask for her classmates be sent back to the U.S.? How do you not leave them here [in Aruba] to see if you can get more information. Dan Young’s partner, Kelly Castillo, said that in her book, Beth said that when she found Natalee’s passport, she knew that she was on the island. She continued to say that Beth knew that Natalee ran away and that Beth and Jug spoke with Natalee after something supposedly happened to her.

DIARIO asked Young and Castillo how Beth knew that Natalee was dead and Young explained that maternal instinct, according to Beth, led her to know that she was no longer alive. The original poster, which said “Natalee call Big Hooty, I am here on the island, we have to talk”, showed that the mother knew that Natalee ran away.

Young said that on the immigration documents, the mother filled out the reason for her visit to Aruba as “vacation”. According to Young, Aruba did everything possible to try to find the young woman. According to Young and Castillo, Beth’s book is a joke.

They also said that they have everything, including recorded conversations and certain documents to show that Beth was constantly lying.

Given everything that has been brought forward in this case, where DIARIO itself published different conversations between the 3 prime suspects, DIARIO remains certain that it is Joran, Satish and Deepak who know what happened to Natalee Holloway.
