On Sunday, Kock said the brothers were becoming increasingly angry with Joran van der Sloot and accusing him of changing his story to put the blame for Holloway's disappearance on them. Kock would not elaborate.
Anita van der Sloot said her son told her that he was alone on a beach with Holloway and left her there unharmed in the early hours of the day she vanished.
Joran van der Sloot's lawyer, Antonio Carlo, said Sunday, "My client maintains his innocence."
Meanwhile, numerous rescue crews continue to search for Holloway on land and in the ocean, with most acknowledging it would be a miracle if she were still alive, Futterman reports.
"It's sad, but we know we are not going out there to find someone alive," said Ralph Baird, a petroleum engineer from Houston helping in the new search started Saturday by Dickinson-based Texas EquuSearch.
The volunteer rescuers led a sniffer dog over land and combed the ocean bottom with sonar in a renewed search for Holloway, who went missing nearly a month ago.
Texas EquuSearch's 24 volunteers, including eight rescue divers, arrived late Friday at the request of Natalee's uncle, Paul Reynolds, who lives in Houston. They brought four specialized dogs as well as the sonar equipment, which technicians could be observed testing on a dock near the Holiday Inn, the same hotel Natalee had stayed in.
EquuSearch director Tim Miller said their search could cost up to $100,000 and that his group has already raised about $25,000.
"No matter what happens, we can't leave without Natalee," he said.
