Natalee Holloway was on her senior class trip in Aruba in 2005. The graduates decided to go out with a bang on their last night on the island and went to a popular bar to have some fun and some drinks as the legal drinking age there is 18. Natalee was seen leaving the bar with a few local boys and was never seen again. It’s been 18 years and neither Natalee nor her remains have been found. Natalee’s family has never stopped looking for her and believe the Aruban police played a big role in covering up what happened to their daughter.
In October of 2023, Joran Van der Sloot, long suspected of being responsible for Natalee’s death, confessed to her murder. Even with his confession, many questions remain unanswered, but Natalee’s family has been able to find a small amount of closure.
