The Natalee Holloway case involves the disappearance of an 18-year-old American high school graduate, Natalee Holloway, who went missing on May 30, 2005, during a graduation trip to Aruba. Despite extensive searches and media coverage, her body was never found. The main suspect, Joran van der Sloot, was arrested multiple times but was never convicted due to lack of evidence. The case remains unsolved, though van der Sloot was later convicted for a separate murder in Peru in 2010. Holloway's disappearance led to international media coverage and inspired various books, documentaries, and movies examining the case and legal proceedings.
