Last Update: 6:01 am
Rocks or remains?
Tonight, Natalee Holloway’s grandmother says she is not sure.
Ann Reynolds spoke exclusively with Sandra Kirk, a reporter from CBS 21′s sister station in Little Rock, Arkansas, About the pictures, taken by a Lancaster County couple that some believe is her missing granddaughter.
Reynolds: “It doesn’t look like anything to me. I’ve looked at it, I don’t know how many times, every time they show it. They say it looks like a skull. Beth says it looks like a rock to her. She’s bitter. You know she’s had so many ups and downs, she refuses to get up.”
The roller coaster of emotions is familiar ro Ann Reynolds, after her 18 year old granddaughter disappeared in Aruba five years ago.
Reynolds: “It was hard, it’s been real hard.” “I have to believe she is in the hands of God.”
because Holloway’s disappearance is still a mystery.
Reporter: What is it like to not know what happened? Reynolds: I don’t know how to answer that. I don’t know how to tell you what its like. If you can imagine it, it’s one of the worst things in the world that I ever thought I would have to live through.
But she is. Reynolds has watched as investigators detained Joran Van Der Sloot several times, letting him go each time. Holloway was last seen leaving a bar with Van Der Sloot.
Reporter: “Do you think Van Der Sloot killed Natalee? Reynolds: I think he did. I have no doubt about it what’s so ever.”
But Reynolds says faith, friends and memories have helped her find peace.
Reynolds: “I love all those stages of her life. I think about the funny things she used to do…that’s how I keep her alive.”
It is unclear when divers will start diving again to search for the possible remains. Authorities are trying to find the tour guide that took the Lancaster County Couple out to sea.
