Natalee Holloway: Jaw Bone Discovered in Aruba Not yet Identified

Jennifer Waite
It's a sad thing that the words Natalee Holloway jaw bone are a hot search on Google right now. However, what's even sadder is the question mark behind the term in everybody's mind. Is the bone recently found in Aruba actually Natalee Holloway's jaw bone, or is the bone from another unfortunate soul? Is the so-called Natalee Holloway jaw bone even from a human being, or could the bone be that of an animals? So many questions, but just one that needs an answer in the most desperate of ways: what happened to Natalee Holloway?

Natalee Holloway: Jaw Bone Discovered In Aruba Still Had Tooth, Says CNN

CNN reported early Thursday that what appears to be a jaw bone found in Aruba by a vacationer still had a tooth set in place. The bone has been undergoing DNA tests among other probes by investigators and officials on the resort island, and the family of Natalee Holloway have been advised of the situation. The Holloway family has also given Aruban authorities Natalee's dental records to assist in determining if the jaw bone found could possibly belong to the long-missing teen.

Recently, Natalee Holloway's mother traveled to Peru, where Natalee's likely killer is in prison for the murder of another young girl. Natalee's mother spoke with Joran Van Der Sloot about her daughter, and her heartache and need for understanding. Van Der Sloot acted (operative word) as if he felt for her, telling her speaking with her "wasn't easy", but promising to write her and be more forthcoming if she'd give him her address. Natalee's mother agreed, and one can only imagine being able to summon the grace and composure she displayed during the entire exchange with the man who allegedly took her child's life from her in likely gruesome fashion.

Is Jaw Bone Really Young Natalee's?

If the so-called Natalee Holloway jaw bone is indeed part of the remains of the innocent young teen who, most likely, simply chose the wrong boy to go off and have fun with on a school vacation, at least Natalee's mother will have the one answer she likely needs most. The answer to the question: is Natalee really dead? A parent needs to really wrap their head around that to even try and move forward in their own life, and thus far, that information has been withheld by both the cruelty of time and the cruelty of a killer.

    So sad.

    No more confrontations with Joran. He enjoys torturing the mother. He has ONE thing alone on her, and he enjoys the fact he knows and she wants to know. Please stop using the mother to get air time. He isn't going to say anything, rather, it is yet another torture he can inflict on yet another victim.

    This is such a sad story. I hope one day the family is able to have some closure. =0)

    I hope the questions are finally going to be answered for her family.

    I can not begin to imagine the nightmare of all of this. It has gone on so long too.
