ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — The mother of missing Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway called for more help from the United States in a massive search as police and volunteers in Aruba combed beaches and scrubland for a fifth consecutive day Friday on the Dutch Caribbean island.
Authorities say there is no evidence that Holloway was abducted, but police commissioner Jan van der Straaten said “after four of five days you are afraid a crime has been committed.”
Holloway, 18, disappeared early Monday as she neared the end of a trip to Aruba to celebrate her graduation from high school. Four days later, the Alabama teenager is still missing, despite an extensive search of the Dutch Caribbean island.
