S03E08: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY
On a high school graduation trip to Aruba with her classmates, 18-year-old Natalee Holloway disappeared. She was last seen leaving a popular bar in a car with three men- but then never showed up at the airport to return home the next day. Upon hearing news of her disappearance, Natalee's parents immediately travelled to Aruba to assist in the search for their daughter but nearly 17 years later, no clear answers (or Natalee) have ever been found.
This week, we tell you the full story of the high-profile Natalee Holloway case which involves changing stories by key suspects, many theories about what may have happened that night and Natalee's family's ongoing pursuit of justice.
