Has anyone seen this girl...?
... she's not Natalee Holloway, but she's just as missing, and from just as beautiful a venue as Aruba. Claudia Kirschhoch, a 29-year-old travel writer from New York, was last seen walking on the beach in late May, 2000 while on assignment at a Sandals resort in Negril, Jamaica. Like Natalee, she never made her plane flight back home. No body has ever been found. Her family is now suing the Sandals resort, hoping to uncover some clues to their daughter's disappearance. The family has been following the Holloway coverage, which has got to be painful.

Claudia's story received some news coverage (though nothing like the Holloway media extravaganza), including a hit on "Unsolved Mysteries" in 2001, stories in the New York Times, Salon and in the Jamaican press (with interest probably peaked by the fact that she was a journalist), and there were even accusations of a cover-up on the island. But nothing came of any of it. So Claudia simply became one of a small number of people who simply vanish without a trace. Frightening thought.
