Natalee Holloway: A Case That Captivated The Nation

Sold Into Slavery

Another horrifying theory about what happened to Natalee Holloway is that she was sold into slavery. While slavery is, of course, illegal, many underground trafficking rings exist and young girls on vacation are often targets for being kidnapped and sold into slavery.

Joran Van der Sloot actually told Greta Van Susteren, a commentator and news anchor, that he had sold Natalee into slavery. As with many of his stories, however, this one did not hold up. He later retracted his claims which were given in the interview with Van Susteren. Still, Natalee being sold into slavery remains a chilling possibility, especially since her body was never found.
