Gov. Bob Riley called for a nationwide travel boycott of Aruba on Tuesday until authorities on the Dutch Caribbean island cooperate more fully with the family of a teenager who has been missing since May.

Riley asked the governors of the other 49 states to join him in urging a boycott of Aruba on behalf of the family of Natalee Holloway, the 18-year-old Mountain Brook High graduate last seen on the island on May 30.

Her mother, Beth Holloway-Twitty, joined Riley at the Alabama Capitol for the boycott announcement. She contends Aruban authorities have failed to adequately investigate the possible murder of her daughter, who was with a Dutch teenager and two Surinamese brothers on the night she disappeared.

The young men were held for a time but have been released.

@Brent cv,
I wouldn't normally agree with it, but the prosecutor has been extremely horrible as far as contact with Natalee's mother has been.

@Brent cv,
Im with you on this Nick, usually i wouldnt agree with somebody standing up saying "boycott aruba, dont visit aruba" or what have you. As funny as it may sound it is an acual crime scene in a way in aruba.Theres a missing girl who is apparently dead but could be anywhere which leads to prosecution especially of the people she had come into contact with and went down there with.

@Brent cv,
The dad gets his day in court today. To see if he is still a suspect. If he is he looses his job. Needless to say i hope his is still a suspect.
