The Disappearance Heard Around the World

David and Beth Holloway brought Natalee into the world in 1986. However, their entire life was rocked by a phone call they received on May 30, 2005. That was when they learned that their daughter had vanished during her trip to the Dutch island of Aruba, in the Caribbean.

The Holloways were told that their daughter never came back to her hotel. As much as the news of Natalee’s disappearance shocked her family, it spread like wildfire around the world via the news media. 12 years later, a discovery made by Natalee’s father might finally bring this nerve-racking story to an end. But what did he find? Read on to find out what happened.

The News of Natalee’s Disappearance Was Shocking

Beth was stunned by the news because she had spoken to her daughter frequently throughout the visit to the island paradise. They also texted often. During all of these communications, nothing made her think that something might be going wrong with Natalee’s vacation.

Because of this, Beth could only be shocked and stunned by the news that her daughter could not be located. She could not believe anything but that her daughter was alive and well and would come home to her family at some point. Anything else seemed too unreal to believe.
