Oh Man - Nataliee Holloway's Mom is dating JonBenet Ramsey's Dad

In a match 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 summer.

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'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.

Both single parents share the tragedy of children who are victims of unsolved crimes.

Child beauty-pageant winner JonBenet Ramsey was 6 years old when she was killed in December of 1996. She had been beaten and strangled, and her body was found the day after Christmas in the basement of her own home in Boulder, Colo.

JonBenet's parents were the initial focus of the investigation, but they maintained their innocence and said an intruder must have committed the crime. No one was ever arrested and the little girl's murder remains unsolved.

Eighteen-year-old Natalee Holloway disappeared in Aruba while on a high school senior class trip in May of 2005 and has never been found, though she is presumed to have been murdered.

Three different teenaged suspects who lived on the island and were last seen with Holloway were arrested and later released in the case.

4. This makes sense, in an odd sort of way...

For the same reason that celebrities generally only date other celebrities. Only someone who's been through something like that themselves really "gets you", and understands what your life is like.

I hope it works out for them.

5. do they have any other children that can "disappear"?

[Lance_Boyle]

6. If they can now both just shut up and go away,

I'll be happy for them.

One other thing - red flag this couple of the adoption list.

13. The worm Ourobouros climbs up its own ass...

...and the world vanishes.

[Danger Mouse]

14. That is...kind of unusual.

But perhaps it will bring happiness to them both?
Well, works for me, I guess.

15. Some advice for any kids they may produce

RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!

[UrbScotty]

16. That's according to FOX News, so it must be false. (nt)

17. a match made in tabloid heaven

[applegrove]

18. It makes perfect sense. I hope they make it back to a sort of normal

together. If they can.

19. Makes sense to me...finding comfort in someone who's been there

I can't imagine losing a child, especially in the way these two people lost theirs. On the other hand, I bet it would be hard dating someone who's been through something that traumatic only because I could never fully understand without having experienced that level of hell first hand.

May they find peace and comfort with one another.
