Why not just "how proud of their daughter"? Who gives a damn about major, oh right, the "Indian American from a similar background."


She's not American she's an Indian citizen living in the us


Technically. The "Indian American" (or take another country like Dominican American) part is commonly used by those who while they are not American by birth nor did they get naturalized (didn't get US citizenship) but have lived in US most of their lives so will hypnanate because they associate with being American. As in this young woman's case, it was said she came to the US in 2006 and they say she is 20. So she came to US when she was 1 or 2 years old. Not knowing if she ever went back to live in India after she moved to US so they write Indian American.


it is relevant here because India had to take the lead with DR authorities vs US who was just monitoring (until recently) because she is an Indian citizen and not a US citizen. It mattered in this case. I do not have any opinion on whether India has a good diplomatic team (I see no reason why they wouldn't) but people were asking why it too so many days for the US to get involved and it is because the priority/first in line was India.


Through the TJ grapevine, a representative from the Indian embassy met the parents at the airport when they landed after they immediately booked the next flight there.

What parent would not do the same if they were in this situation?


In contrast, at that time, the response from the Americans’ embassy was “let’s just wait and see if she turns up.”

Sorry but this was an unacceptable and unprofessional response here, when clearly someone’s life is in great danger.



If they activated the embassy staff every time a young adult person wasn’t where they were expected to be after a few hours they would do nothing else. Lots of people go to these places to party and run off with friends and do unexpected things. She’s an adult woman.

It's been washed out to sea. Or eaten by a shark.

It's speculation by a random PI, not working on the case and with no access to all the details the investigators (including the FBI) have.

I agree likely pulled out to sea. The currents are very strong there. The missing body will extend the poor parents' anguish. They will always have doubts. My heart goes out to them.

I do not believe you understand the fact that this is an important family. However, I don’t expect you to understand because you are probably an american.

Natalie Holloway’s remains were never found.

I read though there’s a protective barrier to the coral reef and the sharks preference for deeper waters. I still find it odd that her body hasn’t been found unless it’s been swept away.

Not an accident because the boy should have done his duty and gone back into the water to save her, but he did not do so.


He was not a paid lifeguard. He had no duty to do anything.

It’s sad what happened to natalie holloway but it’s the dangers of meeting people you don’t know. Also Joran van der Sloot had said so many contradictory things makes me wonder if the guy is mentally there. Seems like a psychopath and sociopath.

That’s not how it works. In this particular case, because she is an Indian citizen India embassy had priority and they took it. The US had to wait because she isn’t a US citizen and cannot overstep India. That’s all.

And the parents are desperate to believe she might still be alive. They made a big deal about the fact that she left her phone and belongings with her friends, "which she would never do." She was drunk fhs and not making her usual rational choices, which I'm sure her friends attested to.

That’s what happened with the Natalee holloway case. Constant binge drinking. Meeting foreigners . This wasn’t the case except the drinking.
