Natalee Holloway's Stepfather Files For Divorce

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) ― The stepfather of Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teen who disappeared in Aruba in 2005, has filed for divorce from Holloway's mother.

George "Jug" Twitty and Beth Twitty separated Dec. 15 and have "such a complete incompatibility of temperament that the parties can no longer live together," according to his Dec. 29 court filing in Jefferson County.

Jug Twitty declined to comment. A phone message left Friday for Beth Twitty was not immediately returned.

The Birmingham News reported the filing Friday.

The couple, whose 2000 union was a second marriage for both, attracted international attention after 18-year-old Holloway disappeared in Aruba in May 2005 during a trip with high school classmates. Police spent months searching for her, but the case did not lead to a criminal trial in Aruba.

Last month, Beth Twitty and her daughter's father, Dave Holloway, sued two former suspects in the case. The suit, filed in California, claimed that brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe intentionally caused fatal injuries to Holloway.
