Natalee Holloway's Mom Seeks New Options

The mother of missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, infuriated by a recent interview with the main suspect in the case, has met with an international attorney to discuss options available to her and plans a trip to Holland, where Joran Van Der Sloot now attends college.

Last week, Beth Twitty met with an unnamed attorney in Philadelphia. "I want to see what my options are, and how do I go about pursuing those," Twitty said.

The meeting with the attorney was reportedly arranged by Joe Mammana, a Philadelphia businessman, who contributed $250,000 to the reward offered in Natalee's case. Although Twitty would not reveal her plans, Mammana was more vocal in press reports.

"We're going to hound and harass these people forever," Mammana said. "The Aruban government and anybody else involved with this, that we feel did not cooperate and help us. We're not doing this for money we're doing this for revenge. Forget justice."

'Wall of Hope' Stored Away

Twitty said she was planning a trip to Holland "to make sure that everyone realizes and still knows that the reward money is still out there. We have $1 million for a safe return, $250,000 for the whereabouts of Natalee. And we've had posters printed in Dutch that we will be distributing in Amsterdam."

Meanwhile, the "Wall of Hope" that was at the entrance of the youth center at Mountain Brook Community Church in her hometown, has been taken down and placed in storage. A yellow ribbon was left in its place.

Natalee's aunt said the wall was taken down to protect it from the weather, which is starting to fade and wash off some of the hundreds of notes and signatures.
