Alabama Teen Disappears on Senior Aruba Trip

Thursday June 2, 2005
An 18-year-old Alabama high school graduate on a trip with 125 seniors from Mountain Brook High School to Aruba in the Caribbean has been missing since she failed to turn up Monday for her return flight home.

Natalee Holloway, an honor student, was last seen leaving a nightclub and getting into a vehicle in the early morning hours Monday. "We went to check in for our airplane, and she wasn't there, and she's been missing since then," classmate Jay Weinacker told reporters.

The family has offered a reward for Natalee's safe return and several family members have traveled to the small island off the north coast of Venezuela to help search. The search is being coordinated by the FBI, Aruba police, and Dutch authorities. Aruba is part of the Netherlands Antilles and is approximately six miles wide and 20 miles long. The population is about 72,000.
