The father of missing beauty NATALEE HOLLOWAY wants to change her status from “missing” to “legally dead”.

ABC News first reported that Dave Holloway filed the legal docs back in June seeking "presumption of death for persons missing for more than five years".

As The ENQUIRER previously reported Natalee from Alabama disappeared in Aruba at 17 years old in 2005.

Prime suspect Dutch thug Joran van der Sloot remains jailed in notorious Castro Castro prison in Peru charged with the murder of Stephany Flores, 21.  She was last seen with van der Sloot before she disappeared. No remains have ever been found.

While Natalee’s mom, Beth Holloway Twitty, does not believe her daughter is still alive she also doesn’t want Natalee declared "dead."

"No, I want to get to the bottom of what's going on from Dave," she told the Alphabet Net.

The prelim hearing in a legal determination is scheduled for September 23.
