Aruba Police Search Teen's Home

Two Vehicles Taken From Dutch Student's Family Property

In their initial testimony, the Kalpoe brothers told police they and the Dutch boy had gone to a beach with Holloway, and that the Dutch boy and the young woman were kissing and petting in the back of their car. The brothers said they then dropped Holloway off at the Holiday Inn shortly before 2 a.m. the day she disappeared.

But Antonius "Mickey" John, a former hotel security guard released from custody in the case earlier this week, told reporters on Tuesday that while being held in an adjacent jail cell, Deepak Kalpoe told him the story the boys gave to police was false.

Kalpoe told John that the boys dropped the Dutch youth and Holloway off together near the Marriott, about 10 blocks north of the Holiday Inn, John said.

"He and the brother and the Dutch guy with the girl left, drove to the lighthouse," John told CBS News Correspondent Kelly Cobiella. "On the way back, he dropped the Dutch guy with the girl to the hotel. He and his brother went home."

Kalpoe also allegedly told John that about an hour later, between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., he received a cell phone text message from the Dutch teen, saying he would e-mail Kalpoe as soon as he got home. Kalpoe said he never received the promised message, John said. John said he passed the information on to police.

Holloway vanished hours before she was expected at the airport to return home after a vacation with 124 classmates and seven chaperones celebrating their high school graduation in Mountain Brook, Alabama. Her U.S. passport and packed bags were found in her room.

Asked about the alleged conversation between Kalpoe and John, Oomen replied Wednesday, "All I'll say is, my client maintains his innocence."

On Tuesday, apparently acting on John's information, FBI agents and officers from the Miami-Dade police department brought two bloodhounds to help search a Mangrove swamp at Malmok Beach, next to the Marriott Hotel, where firefighters pumped water from the site. At nightfall, they gave up the search.

"We didn't find anything," Comemencia said. He declined to say where investigators might look next.

Reporters from Aruban radio station Top 95 launched their own search before police arrived, finding a pair of torn pink-and-white polka dot panties and three condoms, two of them used, said one of the journalists, Albert Vrolijk.

He said they also found some duct tape wrapped around a tree. The reporters handed their findings over to police, who refused to comment.

Tourism Authority Managing Director Myrna Jansen-Feliciano told the AP that "the whole beach area is a place where couples go."

"It could be anybody's" panties and condoms, she said.
