Mountain Brook Teen Still Missing

By Alabama Public Radio

Mountain Brook, AL – The prime minister of Aruba says the country's number one goal is finding a missing Alabama teenager. The Prime Minister says his government is working closely with U.S. authorities to solve the case of Natalee Holloway's disappearance. The 18-year-old Mountain Brook girl disappeared while on a five-day trip to the island with more than 100 other high school graduates and seven chaperones. She never showed up for the group's return flight. Aruban authorities did arrest three men Thursday in connection with the case. Those arrested were two brothers from Suriname and a 17-year-old Dutch student who is the son of a high-ranking Dutch justice official. Two other men are also in custody in connection with the case.
