BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The investigation into the disappearance of Mountain Brook teen Natalee Holloway is heating up.
Dave Holloway told NBC 13 how he plans on spending the two year anniversary of his daughter’s disappearance.
Natalee Holloway was freshly graduated from Mountain Brook High School in 2005 went she went on a senior trip to Aruba. The last day of that vacation, she vanished.
Her father spoke to NBC 13 by phone about this weekend’s search at suspect Joran Van Der Sloot’s home. Holloway said there’s something different about this search by Dutch authorities who recently took over the investigation.
“All of a sudden, they come onto the island about two or three weeks ago, and they started interviewing different people, according to some of the sources on the island, and then all of a sudden, they issued a search warrant,” he said.
Holloway said the investigators come with credibility and he’s still relying on his faith in God that he will find out what happened to his daughter.
“At some point in time, I don’t know when it will be, I think there will be some sort of resolution. I just can’t, I haven’t, I guess, haven’t resigned to the fact that there won’t be, so I am always optimistic that there will be a resolution at some point in time. It’s just a matter of when is that time going to come?” he said.
Holloway said he couldn’t have ever imagined it would be two years later and still no answers. With the second anniversary of her disappearance coming up, he said he won’t do anything to mark it.
“When you start memorializing the day, I think you come to the conclusion that it’s over, and for me, it’s far from over,” Holloway said.
