A school trip to Aruba should be an unforgettable experience, something students will never forget. However, for the class of 2005 at Mountain Brook High School, it will be memorable for all the wrong reasons. Natalee Ann Holloway was blonde and beautiful. She was also very friendly and well known in her hometown. For some students the school trip was supposed to be the best moment of their lives, for others it was also the end. May 29, 2005 seemed like a normal day of fun in the sun. “Holloway and a large group of students went to Carlos 'N Charlie's nightclub in Oranjestad, Aruba,” (Federal Bureau of Investigation). After Carlos 'N Charlie's closed around 1 a.m., some students returned to the Holiday Inn where they were staying, and others gathered at various bars in the area (Federal Bureau of Investigation). Although these bars seemed like very ordinary and fun hangout places, predators were hiding there. Holloway was last seen around 1.30am leaving the local bar in a silver Honda with three young males named Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish. Kalpoe,” (Federal Bureau of Investigation). No one knows what happened early in the morning after Holloway left the bar. However, Joran van der Sloot is the main suspect in this case. Van der Sloot is the person Holloway was last seen with. The evidence points to him and even the witnesses believe he is the killer. It is believed that he gained her trust and killed her because she did not offer him what he initially wanted, which was sexual intercourse. This murder occurred out of spite and hatred. From an outside perspective, Holloway and Van der Sloot's relationship looked like any other friendship. Holloway was also attracted to his charm... middle of paper... I didn't expect this case to go cold and the world to move on. Van der Sloot's goal was to become unforgettable, but now this case has been forgotten, and so has he.
