While Beth Twitty is calling for a boycott against Aruba on American television, the father of the missing American teen Natalee Holloway, Dave Holloway, is on Aruba to show support for the local authorities.

“I am here to meet with the Prosecution to see if they are still on track, and to assure the police corps I am still with them, that I am still supportive of them and of the people of the island,” Mr. Holloway stated. “Because it is only with the help of Aruba that we can eventually solve this case.”

The father of the missing Alabama teenager believes the local police was on the wrong track in the beginning, but after the first few days they got back on track. “But obviously, you get behind. It has been three and a half months and Natalee has still not been found. But I am a very patient man. The investigation will continue, and I wanted to tell the police I am still with them. They are totally committed to this case. They had some set back. But you know, they just have to work harder.” Mr. Holloway reminded everyone, that there were cases that took much longer to be solved.

Dave Holloway also explained he will not share information with the media, since he gave his word to the Police authorities that no new development in the investigation will be leaked to the media.

He also said that in the beginning, when Natalee first went missing, he tried his best to stay out of the limelight, and avoided the US media. However, at a certain point, he had to talk. And he will continue to talk to the press, only he will not divulge sensitive information.

Natalee Holloway´s father is grateful for all the help he received and is still receiving. He has reportedly said to be happy with the assistance of people who came to Aruba to help, from tourists who sacrificed their vacation to help search, to the numerous Arubans who voluntarily were helping out.
