Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, 44 said Tuesday she believes two Surinamese brothers released from custody are guilty, and she asked other countries not to offer them asylum if they flee the island.
"I'm asking all nations not to offer them a safe haven," Beth Holloway Twitty, mother of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, told a news conference, her voice cracking with emotion.
A judge on Monday ordered the release of Surinamese brothers Deepak Kalpoe, 21, and Satish Kalpoe, 18, saying there was not sufficient evidence to continue holding them in the case.
"These criminals are now free to walk among the tourists of Aruba ... while I have not seen my beautiful daughter in 36 days," Holloway Twitty said of Surinamese brothers Deepak Kalpoe, 21, and Satish Kalpoe, 18.
"My greatest fear is that they will leave Aruba," she said.
There was no immediate response from the Kalpoes or their lawyers.
CBS News Correspondent Aleen Sirgany reports the hearing was the first to be attended by Natalee Holloway's parents.
"We just felt like it was important for us to be here. You know, this is a very important day for all of us," said Holloway's stepfather George "Jug" Twitty.
The rulings came after a closed hearing. No information was released on why the two brothers were released.
"The day finally came," David Kock, one of Satish Kalpoe's lawyers, said when contacted by The Associated Press. "I've been saying this for a long time: They have no basis to keep my client in detention. We are very happy.
