The Story of Natalie Vander Sloat

4,000 officials and 700 volunteers from both the rubre and the United States were now involved in the search. A blood-soaked mattress was found in a shack on the beach, but testing of the blood revealed it to be canine. Back in Birmingham, Alabama, a sermon was held at a Jewish temple where several of Natalie's friends were members. The Holloway and Twitty families organized the public prayer service while Beth continued to take advantage of every opportunity to keep the story in the news. At one point, Natalie's missing person posters were edited to read, kidnapped by Euron Vander Sloat. This led to the Vander Sloat family receiving an onslaught of negative media attention,.
