4:25 pm
mistake. probably the biggest mistake of my life. at that point it's just -- i wasn't thinking that, you know, probably wasn't thinking clearly like something -- you know thinking something bad might have happened to her, you know. wasn't thinking clearly didn't want anything, you know, to do with that. i just wanted to get away from it, you know, as fast as possible. >> there was no evidence that natalee was ever left on that beach. >> all we wanted to do was get on a plane and go search the field of aruba. that's all we wanted to do. we weren't allowed to do that. >> back home in mountain brook, natalee's friends found another way to help. >> we would just sit these bracelets in gallon size bags and put them in a box. >> hope for natalee bracelets. did you wear one? >> yes. >> okay good, great. >> hang on.
4:26 pm
>> thank you, pass the word around. i know every household in aruba is looking for natalee. >> making those bracelets gave us purpose and i think we were totally in this blind process, the first message was let's send this to aruba and keep natalee's name alive i think the bigger gift was we got to do something. it was just amazing now that i look back on it to see how our community came together, yellow ribbons lined the street because we were ready to welcome natalee home. the weeks after natalee's disappearance is such a display of southern hospitality in that that southern people have. unbelievable sense of love and sense of hope. sense of hope was with beth. we encountered joran father paulus. >> this is the home of joran van der sloot, his family? >> yes. >> remember how we were
