Judge Declares Natalee Holloway Dead

Friday, 13 January 2012

Woman Vanished On Graduation Trip To Aruba...An Alabama judge Thursday signed an order declaring Natalee Holloway -- the teenage girl who disappeared on a trip to Aruba in 2005 -- officially dead. Holloway's body has not been found and no one has been charged in the case. Holloway was 18 when she was last seen in the early hours of May 30, 2005, leaving an Oranjestad nightclub with Joran van der Sloot and two other men. She was visiting the island with about 100 classmates to celebrate their graduation from Mountain Brook High School in suburban Birmingham. Van der Sloot was detained twice in connection with Holloway's disappearance but never charged. Holloway's father, Dave Holloway, filed the petition to declare her dead in June. Beth Holloway, his ex-wife and the teen's mother, has said she opposes the move, saying in a September statement she "will always hope and pray for Natalee's safe return." Her attorney, John Kelly, said Thursday there is no evidence showing the teen is deceased. Beth Holloway, who now works with groups and families of missing children, feels she is letting them down by agreeing to have her daughter declared dead, Kelly said.
