Netflix announced on Monday that it will release a three-part documentary series about a missing-person case from 20 years ago that captured international headlines. The series will delve into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, an 18-year-old who vanished during her 2005 vacation to Aruba. At the helm will be Murder in Big Horn co-director Matthew Galkin and Dani Sloane, who executive-produced the Netflix documentary The Menendez Brothers. Holloway arrived in Aruba in May 2005 with 124 graduates of Alabama’s Mountain Brook High School. She was last seen by classmates at 1:30 a.m. on May 30, leaving a bar in a car with Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch honors student who was later convicted in a 2010 murder, and his friends Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. All three were arrested but never convicted. She was never found despite extensive searching. Holloway was declared legally dead in 2012 at her father’s request. Over a decade later, in 2023, van der Sloot confessed to murdering her with a cinder block and leaving her body in the ocean. The series will include unreported parts of the case, as well as unreleased audio from Holloway’s family and friends.
