Plot Synopsis

On May 30, 2005, 18-year-old Natalee Holloway disappeared on the island of Aruba. Her case resulted in a world-wide media frenzy, yet Natalee's body was never found, and her father, Dave Holloway, has never stopped searching for answers. Now, 12 years later, he's following what he believes to be the most credible lead to date: a detailed first-hand account from a man who claims to know the whereabouts of his daughter's remains, and the hope of finally getting a conviction of Joran van der Sloot. THE DISAPPEARANCE OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY is a one-hour documentary series that follows Dave and T.J. Ward, the family's longtime private investigator, in the latest and perhaps final chapter of the decade-long pursuit to uncover what really happened to Natalee. Ever since her disappearance, Natalee's family has been plagued by dead end leads and false confessions. With ten arrests in connection to her case but no charges ever filed, Dave and T.J. have gone down many roads together in the search for the truth. Then, in 2015, Dave received a promising lead from a man who claimed to be roommates with a co-conspirator who helped prime suspect Joran van der Sloot dispose of Natalee's remains. Now, armed with this information, Dave, T.J. and T.J.'s elite team of investigators will trail the co-conspirator to further build a case and execute a surveillance operation that will hopefully lead them to Natalee's alleged burial site in Aruba. With new evidence and never-before-seen footage, this six-part series documents what could be Dave Holloway's last chance at finally finding justice for Natalee and closure for the Holloway family.
