After more than 6 years of disappearance, Natalee Holloway, was declared dead by an order signed Thursday. Holloway was the 18-year old American teenager went missing on a high school trip to the Caribbean island in Aruba last May 2005.

Judge Alan King legalized the order after closing the hearing done at Birmingham courtroom with the missing teenager's divorced parents, Beth and Dave Holloway.

Dave Holloway, the victim's father, believed that Natalee had died after almost 7 years of searching. He wanted to end payments for her medical insurance and instead use the money ($2,000) for her younger brother's college funds.

The hearing has already been scheduled before a guy was alleged as the suspect of Natalee's disappearance. Joran van der Sloot, name of the possible killer, appealed guilty Wednesday to the murder of a woman in Peru in 2010.

Holloway was last seen with van der Sloot early morning of the day of her disappearance. Reports regarding her disappearance became intense as her body was never discovered.

The mother disagreed with her ex-husband's decision in the beginning, but her lawyer claimed that she had already approved to it after knowing the positive intentions behind. She refused to comment, but the victim's mother's attorney said it was hard for her to see the judge signing the order.

DeBardeleben, the mother's lawyer, claimed she is prepared to move on.

Before the judge signed the order, he was told by Mark White, Dave's lawyer, that there is no evidence proving that Natalee's alive.

A hearing has already been set for anyone who would come forward and prove that Natalee did not die during the trip. King allowed a few months for someone to object and claim about the teenager's disappearance.
