Natalie was born in Fresno, California on August 29, 1970 to Sina Crabtree who allowed Jim and Peggy Manriquez to adopt her. She lived in Fresno until just prior to turning 5 years old. She then moved with her parents to Boone, Iowa to be closer to grandparents. Natalie started school while living in Boone.
