After 20 Years, the Natalee Holloway Case Finally Gets Answers
On the final night of the trip, Natalee was last seen leaving a local bar with Joran van der Sloot and two brothers, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. When she didn’t show up for her flight home the next morning, her friends and family knew something was terribly wrong. Her parents flew to Aruba immediately, beginning a desperate search that captured the world’s attention.
Authorities, volunteers, and even Dutch marines searched beaches, ponds, and remote areas. Despite global coverage and years of investigation, no trace of Natalee was ever found. Joran’s story changed several times, creating frustration and confusion for both investigators and the public. Then, in 2010, Joran van der Sloot was arrested in Peru in connection with another criminal case, confirming his troubled past.
