Taken: Natalee Holloway

In May 2005, a group of high school students from a small town in Alabama celebrated their graduation with an Aruba vacation they’d remember forever — but one student never showed up for the return flight home. Natalee Holloway’s sudden disappearance set off widespread media coverage and an island-wide search that only came to a conclusion in 2023. Now, for the first time, Natalee’s mother, Beth Holloway, tells the full, definitive story of the case that’s haunted her for the past 20 years — from the day of Natalee’s disappearance to a dramatic confession two decades later.
