in 2005, natalee holloway went missing. beth holloway, dave holloway, her mother, they went down there in pursuit of their daughter, and everything and every lead led to the vandersloot. and they never, i believe thought that they would possibly see the day that we are seeing today. and within hours, within hours, martha he will be on american soil for the first time, and he will face justice in one way or another. and i do believe, martha, that there is a likelihood that the charges could very well be upgraded on -- from what i am told on the ground, but i can tell you, this is a time of jubilation. at the time of tears, because dave and his former wife beth know that they will never see their child again, but this is justice for them. this is justice for this whole country, because everybody knew about natalee holloway and how she went missing in aruba. >> martha: you go back to that time, ted, and she was with her girlfriends, you know, a group from high school. they all went to aruba celebrating high school graduation.

, that natalee may have very well been dumped at sea. i do not believe she's anywhere on the island of aruba. i think van der sloot definitely knows a great deal, but anything van der sloot says has to be taken with a grain of salt. i don't trust him, i don't think natalee's family trusts him, and everything they have told him to date, or told that family has been a lie. so it is questionable as to whether he can give them any information concerning their beloved daughter. >> sandra: ted williams, we'll keep watching this now that he's on u.s. soil. we spoke to t.j. ward on the fight for justice, he called this a major thing that's happened here. now that he's on american soil and can be tried by the u.s. courts, they are very hopeful this can lead them someplace they have not been able to get, 18 years later. thank you so much, ted. appreciate it. >> my pleasure, sandra. >> john: former president donald trump has been indicted again, this time in the mar-a-lago classified documents case. ordered by prosecutors to appear in federal court
