Natalee Holloway was an 18-year-old girl from Mountain Brook, Alabama, who dreamed of being a doctor. Those dreams were crushed when she attended her senior class trip to Aruba, where Holloway disappeared and was never seen again.
Holloway had just graduated with honors from Mountain Brook High School, and had a full scholarship to the University of Alabama, where she was prepared to enter pre-med classes. On May 26, 2005, she and 124 other graduates of the high school, along with chaperones, flew to Aruba for an unofficial graduation trip. The drinking age in Aruba is 18, and so the students partied and drank nightly, with chaperones only checking in each day.
