In a match seemingly made in tabloid heaven, the father of murdered child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey and the mother of missing-in-Aruba teen Natalee Holloway are dating, FOX News has confirmed.
John Ramsey, 63, and Beth Holloway Twitty, 46, have been romantically involved since January 2007, though the two met at a fundraiser last year.
The couple has been spotted openly holding hands and kissing in Mountain Brook, Ala. -- where Twitty lives -- and at an art show at a nearby art museum. They've also been seen at various restaurants.
Ramsey on Monday denied the reports that they are dating. He said that he and Twitty have a special friendship based on tragedy.
Ramsey's wife and JonBenet's mother, Patsy Ramsey, died last June of ovarian cancer at the age of 49. Twitty was officially divorced from George "Jug" Twitty in December.

I've always thought Beth Twitty was bizarre, but with this revelation she has finally proven herself to be either batsh*t insane or a complete hyprocrite. John Ramsey participated in a cover up, and protected his daughter's killer until her (*Patsy's*) recent death. He also partipated in the charade to see another man charged with his daughter's murder.
Please: let this be the last we hear of her crazy a**!

Run for your life John. Beth Twitty is a pittbull. Can anyone name another missing person that got this much attention? Twitty must be blackmailing someone in the media.
Sorry about her daughter but the case is OVER.

Beth, you have been so brave. Such evil comments against you here makes me have to protect you. I lost two sons 30 years apart so I know the pain you are suffering. Not knowing the details of Natalee's disapearance must surely be unbearable. GO FOR ANY HAPPINESS YOU CAN FIND SO THAT YOU CAN FEEL LIFE AGAIN. This is nobody's business but your own.

I was a little stunned to hear this news this morning. I heard it on a fox program that comes on after GoodDay LA. But, after my half moment of being stunned (it brought me to my knees), I got over it. I guess I am just a little sad that he is dating so soon. I really respect John and Patsy Ramsey and had looked up to them. But, I am not to judge what is considered to be soon. I still look up to their character, both of them, even though Patsy is no longer with us. Her beautiful spirit lingers on with us. I had requested they become the Godparents to my children. My children, especially my daughter, reminds me of JonBenet, and I had won a beauty pageant myself, once taking home all three titles. So, there were many things about their family and life that seemed to parallel with mine, and I thought they would be the perfect Godparents. For if anything ever happened to me, I feel that the Ramsey's would have carried on all the traditions in life, for my children, that I hold so dear. I believe in the parent's innocence. I never found out if they got word of this, with certainty, through the channels. Though, when an attorney's office had contacted me, something very peculiar happened to my phone, and to this day, I still don't know if that was connected to them hearing of my request and contacting back. What I mean by that is, was it possible that thing happened to my phone as an interruption of forthcoming events by someone, or something, other than the Ramsey's and their attorneys? (I had put in the request through their attorneys.) I could get proof of what happened to my phone line from the phone company. If anyone ever wants to hear the strange and interesting, as well as a bit scary, thing that happened to my phone at that time, please contact me at Praisejesusprayersite@yahoo.com. And, thank God for the good people in the world, such as Lou Smit, former Detective of the JonBenet Ramsey case. By the way, Sheriff Lee Baca reminds me of him. I hope Baca gets the chance to continue on with his career. His office contacted me once with a beautiful letter of appreciation. I thank them for that now. I wish to meet both Mr. Smit and Sheriff Baca one day. I also wish happiness to everyone. Perhaps John and Nat's mom are happy once again. Let's hope so!

I think that both John Ramsey and Beth are being brave and have the right to be friends.Unless you have gone through a tradgedy of this magnitute yourself you have no right to comment or judge.Both cases go unsolved and America don't you think it's about time we start praying and working together to help not only the victims but their poor families who are so abused and unjustly accused of crimes they did not commit--it's crazy! Ipray for you Beth and for you John and the rest of your families that you find comfort and that these cases get solved. I beleive God will prevail..these killers..kidnappers don't hide anything from God our savior--they should fear judgement day alot more than fear of capture or prison for the wrath of the Lord will be on them and there will be no turning back. Right now there is confession and admission of wrong doing but later they will burn forever in hell--too late. Although a comment like that solves nothing it is a plea to the killers or kidnappers to fly right for once in their lives so that peace can be found .Who ever you are-you are dark--a lost soul the devil has taken over but if you read this-- is there any window of realiy in your mind or I pray you do realize God and find enough reality to confess.realize what you face is eternal hell while JonBenet and POssibly Natalee are alive eternally in spirit all around us --The devil inside of you who blinds you is not stronger than God--he knows that and will let you down just as he did the Twin Tower suicidal bombers--they are dead while their big fat authorities are still living--they sure didn't put themselves in the -seat did they? And the devil will let you down too.You think you know better--you know nothing.You feel--think--eat--and have pleasures that you took away from Jon Benet and Natalee.Noone did that to you. You know who you are and remember--so does God and remember our prayers and Gods' hauntings will plague you from this moment on.May you have nightmares about your fate.Read the Bible!I am compelled to write this so that you might get caught or allow yourself to be exposed the same way Dennis Rader did. He knew enough about God to know with that evil devil inside of him he couldn't win..Prayer exposed him and you will be exposed and caught too sooner or later aand if I was you I'd rather it be sooner.Americas' ordinary citizens and the bulk of us have had enough of this. God prevail--In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Happy Easter John and Beth.

Beth is now President and CEO of International Safe Travels Foundation. The foundation is "Non-Profit" 501(c)3 private foundation and is managed by Jack Sammis, who's company IMN Solutions (in the office next door in the same building)manages the non-profit as well as acting as a meeting coordinator for corporations. They accept donations that are 50% deductible and Beth produces a good cash flow speaking for fees all over the US. It's really a match made in heaven and you can be sure generates a very, very nice income flow. Beth's appearences on Fox don't hurt the PR either!
Not bad for a teacher who's degrees are in speech and who is listed by the Nashville Speakers Bureau as available for a fee (call for it!). Her bio is even provided by this Speakers Bureau on the International Movie Data Base (imdb.com) because of her overwhelming presence in the media!
Unless 100% of her book profits and 100% of her speaking fees (less travel) are given to the "foundation" with no income to her, I cannot see how she is not profiting from her daughters disappearence
Yep, not bad at all. Betcha she is making an income far beyond that she ever made as a teacher!
Problem is you can't find at IRS 990 form on the foundation. Although required, it looks like one has not been filed since founding in 2005. So no one but Holloway and Sammis know what the gross take was each year since then......
Oh, and we can't forget Mr. Ramsey either....
