Beth Holloway the new face of Lifetime?

A movie sequel about Natalee's disappearance.  A ten part reality series. Is Beth Holloway the new face of the Lifetime cable network? Or is Limetime becoming the Natalee Holloway network.

Lifetime is clearly moving heavily back to the "women in danger" programming genre with recent titles like "The Craigslist Killer" and “Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy”. But the all time ratings winner on the network remains April 2009's "Natalee Holloway", watched by 3.2 million people.

The sequel, “Justice for Natalee Holloway" will reportedly focus on Beth Holloway's efforts to get Joran van der Sloot indicted for extortion and wire fraud. Those indictments were handed down by a federal grand jury here in Alabama last year after van der Sloot allegedly promised information about Natalee's fate in exchange for money. The FBI says van der Sloot took the money but never came through with the information.

Shortly after the alleged extortion, but before the FBI sought his arrest,  van der Sloot was arrested in Peru after the corpse of a Peruvian student was found in his Lima hotel room. Peruvian police say van der Sloot admitted he killed Stephany Flores after she found material about Natalee on his laptop. In the kind of grisly coincidence Lifetime can script a movie around, Flores' body was found five years to the day of Natalee Holloway's disappearance on a high school trip to Aruba. She was last seen leaving a nightclub with van der Sloot and two of his friends.

Another element that makes van der Sloot seem typecast for Lifetime: the well off Dutch national was questioned by Aruban authorities but never charged. Many, including Natalee's family suspect undue influence with Aruban authorites by van der Sloot's late father, an attorney.

Dude you sound like an idiot!!!!!You must have no experience with loving another person especially your own child!!! I believe he did it and his father helped him dispose of the body!!! He took that to his grave!!!I hope Beth gets some closure....she deserves that much after all she has been through!!!!Losing your purse is devistating, but losing your child is 100 times more devistating than anyone can ever imagine!!!All I can do is imagine, but Beth Holloway...she lived through it!!!From a mother to a mother, may God bless you with closure and peace!!!

This story is getting old. Joran didnt kill the Holloway girl ,he left her on that beach. I to cant see anything but just that. There is just no evidence proofing 100% Joran hurt or killed the Holloway girl.How can Beth Twitty want so bad to make Joran pay when even herself doesnt know the truth about what happen to her daughter. Joran as a young stupid man can say anything for the attention,but when it comes down to it he doesnt have a clue to what happened to her.I can say this much I to as a teenager wanted to be left on the beach by myself while vaction. I was drinking and was with some guy I had just meet. I ask him to leave me on the beach and I would find my way back fine. That was the last time I ever saw that guy,but teenagers do stupid things,So that is why I do believe Joran about leaving her there.Maybe MMrs. Twitty should try looking in other direction ,also.
