Roger,

Of course, none of us really know Natalee or her mother, Beth.  So I am forced to speculate.  I would include 4 factors in my speculation as to why there has been no contact:

(1) ESP operates randomly beyond a person's micro-management.  Apparently the right kind of telepathic link must be established between the "receiver" and the "sender."  This "link" is affected by the beliefs and fears of the two parties.  Arthur Godfrey and/or his Dad may have been far more psychically gifted than Natalee and Beth.  I try to develop people's psychic abilities through inspiring paranormal accounts and teaching on how to open the mind to such new possibilities.

(2) As you know, Joram Vandersloot was recently trapped into confessing that Natalee died while he was attempting to have sex with her.  He then disposed of her corpse at sea. Prior to this, Beth Holloway Twitty clung to the belief that her daughter was still alive.  That belief could have inhibited the astral connection between mother and daughter.  Conversely, Arthur Godfrey saw no need to "try" to believe his Dad was still alive.  "Trying" to believe is the most effective way to kill psychic talent.  Will Beth receive an ADC now that she's accepted Natalee's death?  Most ADCs occur within the first year of the loved one's passing.  So I doubt it, but we'll see.

(3) Natalee was a conservative Christian who was an active member of her church Bible study in Birmingham.  She and her Mom probably believe that communication with the dead is a spiritually dangerous opportunity for demonic impersonation.  This mutual fear may well have sabotaged any ADC attempt.  Our prior beliefs may shape and limit our psstmortem curriculum.  Like attracts like and this principle may affect the type of teachers we receive after death--at least in the beginning of our postmortem journey.

(4) As a conservative Christian, Natalee was reportedly not sexually promiscuous and did not drink alcohol.  I think Joram slipped her a rufee and, God knows, some other drug like cocaine.  In her impaired conditon, she was induced to make out with Joram but probably resisted his sexual aggression at a certain point.  Her resistance increased the toxic impact of the drugs she was slipped.  After her death, she may have experienced a lot of guilt associated with her drug-impaired condition.  This guilt may have inhibited her efforts at an ADC.

Roger,

I'm confident that there are unknown psychic and spiritual laws which, if known, would allow  both ADCs and verifiable retrievals to be more common.  For this reason, I am upset that gifted astral and OBE adepts aren't more thoughtful about the questions they pose to alleged guides.  The right guides (saints?) would presumably have helpful answers to such questions.  The primary task of astral research should be protocols for retaining the presence of guides for helpful interrogation.  Adepts should meet to formulate a systematic set of questions that might at last make the reality of the afterlife more evidently verifiable.

Have you noticed that several folks on this board recently put out into the universe specific intentions to contact their guides in dreams and were answered exactly as requested? Others have asked to remember their dreams and were surprised to find that the intention was shortly followed by success.

Why do you think that happened? What is your closest guess?
