After just a single day on the platform, Netflix’s latest true crime documentary has soared to No. 1 on the U.S. viewership charts.

Taken: Natalee Holloway tells the shocking true story of the 18-year-old’s disappearance in Aruba in 2005. The teenager was never seen again after entering the car of convicted killer Joran van der Sloot outside a nightclub in Oranjestad.

Holloway’s disappearance became a huge media obsession around the world, particularly in the United States. Van der Sloot and his associates Deepak and Satish Kalpoe were arrested multiple times throughout the investigation, but consistently released due to a lack of evidence.
