Natalee Holloway was on a senior trip with classmates when she went missing. The 18-year-old graduate of Mountain Brook High School in Birmingham, Alabama, a suburb of Mountain Brook, was last seen leaving Carlos 'n' Charlie's, an Oranjestad, Aruba nightclub, in a car with three local young men between the ages of 18 and 25 at about 1:30 a.m. Monday, May 30, 2005. She did not show up for her return flight hours later, and police found her passport in her hotel room with her packed bags.

Holloway is a straight-A student and a member of the National Honor Society as well as the school's dance team. She has an academic scholarship to the University of Alabama.

Holloway was on the trip to Aruba with about 100 Mountain Brook High School students to celebrate their graduation. About 40 adults, including seven chaperones, accompanied them. Marcia Twitty said Saturday that the Holloway family "absolutely" believes the seven parent chaperones on the Aruba trip did all they could.

Friends have said they have pictures of her dancing with young men at the club. Authorities have said they talked to the three men who left with her, and the men claim they took Holloway to Arashi Beach before dropping her off at her hotel at about 2 a.m. Security cameras did not show her return to the hotel that night.

Aruba police have three theories concerning her disappearance.

The first theory is that "people of interest" -- the three men Holloway was last seen with early Monday morning -- may have harmed her, deputy police Chief Gerald Dompig said. The second theory is that Holloway may have chosen to disappear "on her own accord," and still a third theory is that Holloway may have been kidnapped, he said.

Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, who flew to Aruba to help search efforts, said about 20 to 40 of Holloway's classmates saw her leave.

"Natalee's bags were packed and ready to go," Beth Twitty told CNN Friday. "Everything was packed. Her passport was in her purse -- she even had the remaining cash she had on her in her purse -- it was in her room, everything was zipped up. She was ready to go home."

She said she has tried to remain focused and driven during the search because "I wanted to make sure that she would be as proud of me as I am of her in accomplishing our one goal and that is to find Natalee."

Aruba's Prime Minister Nelson O. Oduber said Friday that more FBI agents had been added to help in the search, and efforts will be concentrated around coastal areas. Aiding the FBI and Aruba police in the search are Holloway's family members, tourists, Aruban nationals and Dutch marines. Oduber pledged his nation's "full support and utmost dedication" in finding Holloway. "We are shocked and completely distressed at this turn of events," he said. "We will not tolerate any activities that harm our American friends or tarnish Aruba's reputation."

Police spent much of Saturday afternoon at a hotel under renovation near the Holiday Inn where Holloway was staying. They refused to say what led them to the site or what they found, if anything.

On Sunday morning, two hotel security guards were arrested in connection to Holloway's disappearance. The security guards were charged with crimes related to Holloway's disappearance but details of the charges have not been made public. Authorities will hold the men for at least two days, Aruba chief prosecutor Karen Janssen said Sunday. The men, ages 28 and 30, were not among the three men in whose company Holloway was last seen.

About 700 volunteers joined police, soldiers and FBI agents on Monday, June 6 combing scrubland and beaches on Aruba's southeastern tip in an unprecedented search.

Aruba's government let 4,000 civil servants off work early at 2 p.m. to hunt for Natalee Holloway, 18, of Mountain Brook, Alabama.

The family has posted a $50,000 reward for any information leading to her whereabouts. A family representative said the money was donated in $10,000 increments from the Aruban Tourist Board, the family, the Aruban government, an anonymous donor and the additional $10,000 from various other sources.

The family has asked members of the Mountain Brook community to post yellow ribbons in her honor. In addition, some area youths are making bracelets. Daily prayer services are being held for Holloway.

She is described as being 5 feet 4 inches tall and 110 pounds. The FBI announced Saturday a tip line for Holloway. People with any information are encouraged to call 1-877-628-2533.
