Natalee Holloway: A Case That Captivated The Nation

A Mother’s Determination

As soon as Beth was informed that Natalee was missing she knew that something was horribly wrong. It just wasn’t like Natalee to simply disappear or even to show up late. She called both the police and the FBI. Beth believed that her daughter had been kidnapped in Aruba.

After they reached out to the authorities, the local police began their search. Soon, the searches became more widespread and hundreds of people came forward to volunteer to look for her. The government even gave people the day off so they could aid in the search. The Netherlands also dispatched 50 of their Marines to help.
