016 TRUE CRIME: The Disappearance Of Natalee Holloway

Today we dive into a huge case that dominated international headlines in the early 2000's and remained a tragic mystery for almost 2 decades, The Natalee Holloway case.After almost 2 decades this case is finally solved after a confession was made in 2023. We explore the days leading up to Natalee’s disappearance in Aruba, the relentless efforts of Natalee's mother, Beth Holloway, to unearth the truth behind her daughter's fate and we follow the man at the middle of it all, Joran Van Der Sloot and the trail of lies and devastation he would leave behind in the years that followed. It’s a hard one to believe guys, it’s truly heartbreaking! Amendments: * As mentioned in this episode the case was closed for a short period in 2005 but this was incorrect or the wrong year. * During confession a property was mentioned as being built before disappearance but this was in fact built after the disappearance.    Thanks for listening!
