This is so sad to me, I have been keeping up with this the moment this girl was reported Missing. Have you all heard about it?

The 18-year-old vanished while on a five-day trip with 124 classmates and seven chaperones celebrating their high school graduation.
The night she disappeared, Holloway ate and danced at Carlos' n Charlie's bar and restaurant. She did not show up for her return flight hours later, and police found her passport in her hotel room with her packed bags.

Aruban Police Arrest 3 More In Case Of Missing American Teen
Aruban police arrested three men Thursday who admitted giving a ride to an Alabama teenager who has been missing for more than a week, the attorney general said.
The three men were previously questioned in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, 18, and described as "persons of interest." They told police they dropped off Holloway, of Mountain Brook, Ala., at her hotel early May 30, but Holiday Inn employees say security cameras did not record her return.
Attorney General Caren Janssen said the three were arrested at 6 a.m. She refused to identify the three, but authorities previously have described them as students - two Surinamese and a native of the Netherlands.
The attorney general's office had said previously the three were considered witnesses and not suspects.
Janssen refused to say whether the three were connected to two men previously detained in Holloway's disappearance, saying more information would be released later Thursday. A judge ruled Wednesday that there was sufficient cause to keep holding the two former hotel security guards.
The decision means authorities may detain Nick John, 30, and Abraham Jones, 28, for nearly four months while prosecutors investigate possible murder and kidnapping charges, defense attorneys said. Neither man has been formally charged.

Plane Leaves Island Without Student
Natalee Ann Holloway had just graduated from Mountain Brook High School in Birmingham, AL. She was looking forward to attending the University of Alabama on a full academic scholarship.
On an unofficial annual senior trip Natalee and approximately 130 of her classmates ventured thousands of miles away to enjoy the white sands and blue waters of Aruba.
For five days the recent graduates and seven chaperones relaxed, sun bathed and enjoyed the Aruba nightlife.
Dressed in the same blue and green striped low-cut blouse and jean miniskirt that she wore at the beach earlier in the day, Holloway spent Sunday evening partying at Carlos 'N Charlie's, a popular restaurant and dance spot where tourists and locals meet in the capital, Oranjestad.
Monday morning, May 5, 2005 when the rest of the group gathered to catch their flight, Natalee was no where to be found.
Tracing Natalee's Steps
Carlos N' Charlie's master of ceremonies, Jose Hernandez, saw Natalee leave about 10 minutes before the restaurant's 1 a.m. closing. He reports that nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Meanwhile, some of Natalee's friends say they saw her getting into a vehicle outside the nightclub.
According to Natalee's stepmother, Robin Holloway, friends say Natalee was last seen with a local resident who claimed to be a foreign exchange student.
Police questioned and released three Aruban students who said they dropped Holloway off early Monday at the Holiday Inn where she had been staying, about three miles from Oranjestad. However, police have been unable to verify whether Natalee actually made it back to her room -- or even back to the Holiday Inn at all.
One important clue -- police found Natalee's passport inside her hotel room, narrowing the possibility she left the island.
