Natalee Holloway, who went missing in 2005 while on a senior trip to Aruba with her high school, has never been found, and her disappearance/murder remains unsolved, despite the fact that the lead suspect, Joran van der Sloot, was convicted of murdering another girl 5 years later in Peru.

Details of Disappearance

Natalee Ann Holloway (born October 21, 1986 – disappeared May 30, 2005) was an 18-year-old American woman who vanished on May 30, 2005, near the end of a high school graduation trip to Aruba in the Caribbean. Holloway grew up in Mountain Brook, Alabama, and graduated from Mountain Brook High School just days before the trip on May 24, 2005. Her disappearance sparked a media frenzy in the United States. Her remains have yet to be discovered.

 Scheduled to Fly

Holloway was supposed to fly home from the Caribbean island on May 30, 2005, but she did not show up. Her classmates last saw her outside of Carlos’n Charlie’s, an Oranjestad restaurant and nightclub. She was in a car with Joran van der Sloot, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, and other locals. When questioned, the three men stated that they dropped Holloway off at her hotel and denied knowing what happened to her. Authorities arrested Van der Sloot twice on suspicion of involvement in her disappearance, and the Kalpoes were arrested three times each. Due to a lack of evidence, the three suspects were each released without being charged.

Holloway’s Parents

The three men who were last seen with Holloway were not being questioned or investigated, according to Holloway’s parents, who criticized the Aruban police for their lack of action. The family also demanded a boycott of Aruba, which received the endorsement of Alabama Governor Bob Riley but fell short of receiving support from the general public.

Extensive Search Operation

An extensive search operation was carried out by Aruban investigators with the help of hundreds of volunteers. FBI special agents from the United States. Three specially outfitted Dutch Air Force F-16 aircraft and 50 Dutch soldiers took part in the search. Divers additionally looked for Holloway’s body in the ocean in addition to the ground search.

Holloways remains were never found

The remains of Holloway were never found. Prosecutors in Aruba declared on December 18 that the case would be dismissed without any criminal charges being brought against anyone. On February 1, 2008, the Aruban prosecutor’s office reopened the case after learning from marijuana-impaired Van der Sloot that Holloway had passed away the morning of her disappearance and that a friend had disposed of her body.

Legally Dead

Later, Van der Sloot claimed that what he had said was false and claimed that he had sold Holloway into sexual slavery in an interview. Later, he apologised for his remarks. Van der Sloot was found guilty in January 2012 of killing Stephany Flores Ramrez, age 21, in Lima, Peru, on May 30, 2010. On January 12, 2012, Alabama judge Alan King ruled that Holloway was legally dead at his father’s request.
