What was supposed to be a joyful last hurrah ended in tragedy. Her name led news programs for months after her mysterious disappearance. Nearly 20 years later, the familiar senior portrait of the beautiful and intelligent young woman from Alabama periodically shows up in articles and news programs. That’s because her disappearance is still a mystery. Her remains have never been found.

Her name was Natalee Holloway. 

This is her story.
