Natalee Holloway

Natalee Holloway of Mountain Brook, Alabama was only 18 and right out of high school when she disappeared on a 2005 graduation trip to Oranjestad, Aruba. Witnesses say she was last seen leaving a bar with three local men. The men were arrested multiple times during the investigation but no charges were ever laid. The main suspect, an Arubian-born Dutch man named Jorad Van der Sloot was later convicted of killing a young woman in Peru, five years to the day of Holloway’s disappearance. A decade later, police are still receiving tips about the whereabouts of Holloway’s body, but so far the case remains unsolved.
