Dr. Phil revisits some of his most amazing stories of the season. First, Tim and Anne Marie were desperate to save their mother, Sylvia, who was constantly talking to the voices in her head. After 10 weeks of treatment, see the inspirational turn Sylvia has taken. What will she say when she meets Dr. Phil face to face? Then, just over a month ago, two women told Dr. Phil how they fell victim to alleged con man and bigamist Ed Hicks. See how their story helped another woman and brought Hicks into police custody. Plus, 18-year-old Natalee Holloway disappeared last May during a senior class trip to the island of Aruba. Dr. Phil is joined by Natalee’s mother, Beth, her lawyer, and a consultant to the Aruban government who defends the work of the investigators. Have there been new revelations since the last time Beth appeared on the show? Could rescuers be on the brink of finding the missing teen? Talk about the show here.

 

Find out what happened on the show.

Boy then you should be boycotting the US!

Quote From: drummond1

I cant believe what I just watched on the show !!! Up here in Canada we've heard about this case on the news but NOT enough. Thank you Dr. Phil for helping publicize the current standings on this Mothers agony. Please dont stop. Natalee deserves no less. It is obvious that the answers given by the representative of Aruba were politically biased and totally unbelievable. As a member of the North American commerce circle I strongly recommend that we boycott all tourism to this country flat out. We'll see some REAL time results and answers in the case of Natalee Holloway when the Attorney Generals office gets a kick in the butt from the Ministry of Finance. This backwards country understands one thing. ..Money... I strongly suspect corruption within the Attorney Generals office, all the way down the line, including the police department... You'll never see me on vacation in Aruba . God bless you Mrs Holloway...and Gods speed..

The US is the number one country where parents who kidnap their kids go to from here! 

  

Canadian children kidnapped and taken to the US are very seldom found.  And I imagine it is the same for US children brought here. 

  

I don't understand why you would expect Cdn media to publish mroe about this.  How much more should we hear about 1 adult who disappeared from another country - Canada has enough people of it's own to worry about?

Dear. Dr. Phil: 

  

I saw your show today and I am amazed at the coverup in Aruba, I think that the best way to get results, is to boicot this billion dollar destination, I am sure you can get the number of calls the Cruise Ships made last year. As soon as we stop calling on Aruba and the local tourism industry starts feeling in the pocket the grief they are inflicting on the girls family & can guarantee they cough up real result and their so called justice system will do what they are supposed to do. Thank Yoou 

I agree, I will email our Governer and ask that he do the same as Alabama Governer. 

  

Why should we go after all the cover up they have done.  Now i'm not mad at the regular Arubian citizens, they did not do this or ask for it.  BUT...they can fight and get those 3 boys back in jail.  If the country was against the 3 boys, that would get people back in Aruba.  We don't want to go there with those 3 rapist loose.

Don't give up on the search

Dr. Phil, Don't give up on the search for Natalie.  When first read her story I thought it might be related to sex slave trade.  Surely there are international mercenaries or relevant shady folk who could help find info about Natalie if she has been abducted into sex trade.

Natalee Holloway

Dr. Phil, I watched today the interview with you, Beth, her lawyer and the Consultant.   I cannot explain why, but I feel the consultant knows what has happened to Natalee and I strongly feel 

Natalee is still alive and has been sold into the Sex Slave industry.  That Consultant in my 

opinion is involved as well.   If the police don't work on this case soon, the three young men  

will be killed by their employer.   It is the only way out for that consultant to look good.

It scares me how much this world is unsafe im the same age as her daughter when she was kidnapt, and hearing about her scares me expcially when im going out of Canada my first time in Febuary, to Mexico city for a missions trip. This stuff happens alot and that is how it is bbut we cant just sit back and watch it happen we need to do our best to change it even if it may not seem we get to far we are trying and we need to rely on God a little more and trust that he will make something good out of this well he already has even if we may not see it and we dont have to i just think if we pray and trust God, He will work it out and thats the thing with alot of peole they dont believe and that sad because their missing out on something that is awsome a love that never fales a love that is there no matter what that love is God. My sunday school teacher says the youth is the next generation and we are important i agree not only because i am a youth but it is true when the grown ups are gone we will be the ones in charge, and i see in my friends the youth today expecially the christian youth wont just sit and watch this stuff happen and im going to stand up for what i beieve in because i am a solder and i will do his will and i think we need to stop trying to fix it our selfs because it wont work only God can do it I am praying for this girl and her family. and i know that we need tot rust God. I just pray that God will show himself to her parents and her family and comfort them.

If the woman decides to press charges it is.

Quote From: floortje

I dare to say, that's most sexual contacts on any given Saturday night....Are they all considered to be rape or sexual misconduct? You must be dreaming!
But remember, she has to be able to prove that the man was 1. not under the influence of alcohol and 2. aware that she was not clearheaded enough to consent.

Natalie Holloway

Hi Dr. Phil was watching your show on the Natalie Holloway  sector and I was lisiting very carefully to both parties that are trying to take theese 3 teenage boys down and what got my attention is that I was sitting in my own home thinking have they not been able to use "LIE DETECTORS"  on the 3 teens to find out for sure if they are telling the truth or not.  I know that a lie detecttor is not immisible in court but at least the will have something thing more to go on than just facts.

I dont want Canada to worry about anybody. I want Canadians to be aware of Injustice in countries abroad. Natalee stands at the forefront of a very important issue for me. My daughter likes to vacation in Cuba. Do you have kids? Enough said....

Quote From: brendasueb

Let's face it. They do not live by our rules. The girl is gone. Sure as parents they should do everything possible to find out about their child but I am tired of the attention the media is giving this case. All because she is a wealthy blond hair blue eyed American. 

  

You don't go into another country and expect them to treat you as if you are still in America. 

  

There are many children missing here on our own soil that doesn't even get one day on the front page let alone 6 months. Why doesn't the media put more attention on things we might be able to do something about? 

  

I just don't get it. What makes Natalee so special? I am a mother I love my children more than life itself but I don't expect the world to stop turning should something happen to them. 

  

Besides, I would not send my child into another country in the first place and if I did I would understand that it was at my own risk. I would not expect the National Guard to accompany my child. 

  

God bless Natalee's family but keep it in the family and stop the media attention, 

Brenda 

They don't live by our rules.  You are absolutely right about that.  The media attention is not only because she is a blond American, it is because Aruba has fumbled the investigation.  I think Beth Twitty has done an amazing job of keeping the spotlight on her daughter.  She has used the media to cause an uproar.  If my child was missing, I would go through hell and high water to find them.  That includes whatever tv show would have me.  I don't think the family expects the "world to stop turning" at all.  It would be nice to find all of the missing children in our country and every other country.  Maybe we should start one at a time.  Natalee Holloway's family deserves answers.  My prayers go to the family.  I will not visit Aruba

Finding Natalee

I think the theory about Natalee's disappearance being linked to the sex-slave market was interesting.  There's a place called the "Bunny Ranch" outside of Carson City, Nevada.  I saw a picture of a young girl and I said, " That looks like Natalee Holloway"  Sounds crazy but could it happen?
