Human Remains Discovered In Aruba Possibly Those Of Late Natalee Holloway Who Vanished 12 Years Ago

Human remains discovered in Aruba, where Natalee Holloway vanished 12 years ago, are those of a female of Eastern European descent, tests showed.

The remains will be tested further to determine if they are those of Holloway and the results were expected within the next two weeks, the Daily Mail reported.

Holloway, 18, a straight-A student from Mountain Brook, Ala., disappeared from the island while celebrating her high school graduation.

The Daily Mail said her family had Eastern European heritage.

The discovery of the remains that may be those of Holloway was to be revealed in the docu-series “The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.” The Oxygen series follows Holloway’s father, Dave, and private investigator T.J. Ward in their quest to find Natalee on the tropical island.
