Natalee Is Officially Missing
The next day, Natalee never showed up with the rest of students to make the trip to the airport to head home. In fact, she was nowhere to be found. They checked the hotel room where she was staying, and they found her packed bags and her passport, but she was missing. So while the rest of the group was put on the flight home, Natalee’s parents were making the 1700-mile flight from Alabama to Aruba so they could begin their immediate search for Natalee’s whereabouts.
