I suppose the reason that it was so public was the way the case was handled. I think that there was lots of controversy surrounding the case regarding two native Aruban men that she was last seen with.

Yeah, perhaps. Imagine a girl that was sold into a white slavery? I think anyone would be concerned about that. No parent's would want to have their daughters being sold into white slavery right?

Natalee Holloway was a young girl who went to Aruba and never came back. This was highly publicized in the news, and the investigation went on for weeks. You can look it up on wikipedia.

Was she really lost in Aruba? I mean, she could have gone to other places. Anyway, if this is true, I guess we should be careful every time we travel. It's very important to be familiar with the place.

That's true she could have gone somewhere else, but she was said to have been last seen with two men, so they immediately became the primary suspects.

Nowadays, I'm not sure if you could still count on the place that has no thief. I guess, what is the best thing to do is to be more aware our your own valuable things. By not bring your bag anywhere you go?:)
