The Persistence

Dave Holloway announces in November 2007 that a new search for his daughter has begun. Essentially they probed the sea past the original 330-foot (100 m) depth that earlier searches had undergone. With the vessel known as the Persistence, they searched but sadly abandoned when lack of funds became a big problem. By the end of February 2008, nothing significance had ever been discovered.

It’s still February 2008 and Peter de Vries, an undercover Dutch journalist, has something big…a tape. On the tape he has Joran, on record, confessing to disposing of Natalee’s body. Joran claims that Natalee was really drunk, had a seizure while they were on the beach, and then died in his arms. Moreover, he says a friend helped him dispose of her body in the ocean. Unfortunately the video was not legally obtained so it actually could not be used as evidence – while police tried to arrest Joran, a judge denied their request. But the story only gets worse from there.
