Case 141

Natalee Holloway

18-year-old Natalee Holloway had been looking forward to her senior class trip to Aruba all year. The tropical vacation was a rite of passage for students at Mountain Brook High School, who celebrated their newfound freedom with five days of sightseeing, swimming and bottomless booze in the idyllic Caribbean location. 

As the trip came to an end, the students partied the night away at the local hot spot, Carlos ‘n Charlies. The next morning they gathered in the hotel lobby to make their way to the airport.  But they soon realised that Natalee wasn’t among them.
