Nov. 25, 2005 In a pre-Thanksgiving gift, which gave the bird to HollowayMedia Inc. and could have had some of the good burghers of Mountain Brook, Alabama, choking on their own bird-filled festive feasts, Associated Press released the long-awaited word on the much-touted, Dr. Phil-aired confessional tapes: “Dutch experts reveal 'Dr. Phil' tape on Holloway case manipulated, Aruba police say” http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20051123204509990003 This debunking will greatly affect HollowayMedia Inc’s ongoing donation drives, as Beth’s quotes from the doctored and spurious tapes have been features in all of Beth Holloway-Twitty’s regular appearances on various variety shows. Natalee Holloway's mother, the media-maven-loving Beth Holloway-Twitty, had chosen to increase public awareness (and someone’s net worth) by relying upon the same often-repeated, dated material to carry her promotion forward indefinitely. She trusted that the Aruban government, judiciary and people would eventually come to accept her scathing assessments of their competency and integrity and then move on to embrace her assurances that the vanishing began and ended in Aruba with the four carefully selected and long-victimized suspects. Unfortunately, with Beth and her family off-island and unavailable for input, the Aruban authorities were able to forge ahead, unhindered, and scientifically examine and jettison the backbone of what has now, once again, become a spineless series of baseless suppositions. No crime, a rapidly diminishing pool of suspects, and even the manufactured props now found to be sadly wanting in content and quality control. It is imperative that something new be added to the storyline, even if it is just to revitalize interest in the now six-month-old vanishing of Natalee Holloway, the beautiful, missing-from-Aruba Alabama honours student who, according to various websites, was awarded an eight-year, full-ride scholarship for a four-year premedicine degree. Is it perhaps time to throw a few of the Mountain Brook kids to the media wolves: sacrificial lambs slaughtered to keep the talking heads calling in for interviews? Something drastic must be done to update up the script, as time has not been kind to Beth (neither in ratings nor in her on-air appearance). A damning revelation or two is long overdue, otherwise Beth’s nightly vignettes will become even more lacking in pathos, substance and relevancy; especially if her minders are now forced to replace ‘drifting in and out of consciousness’ with ‘donations are down for the second straight week, and we may miss our monthly target by $2-million’. As a last resort, the entourage could depart for Aruba again (Velcro Joe can’t go--the Aruban government said so), but it is doubtful that many of the arrivals would appreciate the welcoming greetings of the competent and incorruptible Commissioner Dompig. However, if Aruba should be back on their agenda (and boycott be damned—use the McWane jet again and sneak in after dark…again), it would be best to go quickly, as that tape might really be the item that finally curdles the famed Aruban milk of human kindness. Once it's been determined who created the fake and why they did so (and there has been an official request made to the FBI for their investigators to examine the hard drive and the source equipment), then those who perpetrated the fraudulent and illegal recording session might find themselves to be afoul of Aruban laws. The only recently sensible conduct has been by Velcro Joe Mammana, and that was by omission only. They’re going to keep Natalee's picture off of the side of the Cutler Egg Co. eggnog cartons (that'd kill the f#**!g Christmas sales season if we did that, you dumbazzs!), even though the HMI money managers estimate that fourth quarter results could exceed target by 23 per cent if Philly bought into a revitalized, rebranded vanishing. ------------ About the author: Dayo Gould is a frequent visitor to Aruba, and is a volunteer ESL teacher in a Christian school.
