Paradise Lost
Star student Natalee Holloway disappears during a senior trip to Aruba.
Dutch teen Joran van der Sloot and two Surinamese brothers, Satish and Deepak Kalpoe, have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the death of the American, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
Van der Sloot, 20, was arrested in the Netherlands, where he was attending university. The Kalpoe brothers were arrested in the Dutch Caribbean island.
Authorities "ordered their renewed arrest because further investigation into the disappearance has led to new incriminating evidence," the office said without providing further details. Officials there could not immediately be reached for further comment.
The brothers were expected to make an initial appearance in an Aruban court Friday, at which point prosecutors were expected to present the new evidence to a judge. A court date in the island had not yet been set for van der Sloot.
Wim de Bruin, a spokesman for the Dutch national prosecutor's office, said van der Sloot could be sent to Aruba without an extradition hearing and the transfer would occur "within several days."
Last year, investigators told 48 Hours correspondent Troy Roberts Holloway probably died from excessive alcohol and maybe drugs.
Authorities told 48 Hours they have evidence that Holloway's drinking got seriously out of control and may even have contributed to her death.
"She was, I think not differently from other students. She was having a great time and she was using … doing that," said Gerold Dompig, Aruba's lead investigator in the Holloway case. "Using way too much alcohol in combinations which could basically be lethal."
When asked if he could confirm whether Holloway purchased or consumed illegal narcotics during her stay in Aruba, Dompig said, "We have statements claiming that she, that she had drugs."
Holloway of Mountain Brook, Alabama, was last seen in public leaving a bar with three local men on May 30, 2005, hours before she was scheduled to board a plane home with high school classmates celebrating their graduation on the Dutch Caribbean island. She was 18 at the time.
They were first arrested in June 2005, but a judge ordered their release, citing insufficient evidence. All three have denied any role in Holloway's disappearance. Van der Sloot has said he dropped her off at her hotel and never saw her again.
"I'm as excited as the Holloway family can be. Anything new in this case, or any development, just gives you rekindled hope that one day this will be solved."
Vinda de Sousa, an attorney for Dave Holloway, Natalee's fatherVinda de Sousa, an attorney for Dave Holloway, Natalee's father, said she has left a message for the family but has not talked to them and is not privy to the new evidence.
"I'm as excited as the Holloway family can be," she said. "Anything new in this case, or any development, just gives you rekindled hope that one day this will be solved. I know the investigation never stopped."

GOD BLESS THIS YOUNG LADY AND HER FAMILY
BUT THE TIMING OF THESE ARRESTS WHEN BUSH IS EMBROILED IN ANOTHER SCANDAL IS JUST PLAIN ODD.
There are no winners here.
You can run but you cannot hide."
LOL another right wing delusional psycho who believes in invisible fairy people.
They had all kinds of "new evidence" before and none of it panned out, they also grilled these men for weeks and weeks, thay passed lie detector tests too I think I remember.
With bush there is no such thing as a coincidence, this story was PLANTED to take the focus off the latest scandal just like the new "Bin Laden" tapes always come out under thesame circumstances.
god doesnt bless people, the lord doesnt help people, prayers dont work, and both of them wontonly slaughter innocent people, causing their deaths thru god made earthquakes, god made diseases, god created storms and god planned ''accidents''

Did he cause 9/11 too ?
Didn''t Kennedy say :
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
Loss of human life is tragic.
Media, making dollars and launching careers is injustice.
Murders on Philly streets since 2005 is 800+
Loss of revenue, from a territory must be greater than the bribes to offical'' gained from the rich families involved.
Justice is blind. (so they say)
Money must be written with brail.

Hey trots, MOST Americans see thru the smoke and mirrors. Do NOT generalize our population as that of the corrupt politicians. We are united and UNITED WE FALL! You must be a French-man (I use the word MAN loosly)

This worshiping of the troops cra_p has GOT to stop.
It''s unhealthy and only serves to support the industrial military complex that has caused so much trouble for the US and the rest of the world.
movement and communications. Help people who can help others reason and solve problems. Provide bridging capital for those worthy but naive, run interference for the well meaning but weak, lend assistance to the able and train the strong. Let us resolve to build unity among those we trust and foster those we know as having our common identity.Facilitate other peoples, even though they be different and contrary to ourselves, particularly in ways that strengthen the cohesiveness of our communities. Respect other people''s boundaries and teach loyalty to their interfacings with us, never encourage someone to betray their people to our benefit.
Have you no shame?

Such a pity, that we still have otherwise intelligent people using the time-worn Communist terminology (industrial military complex) 40 years after it came into vogue.

Yes Edward: let''s hope the troops toss their weapons on the ground and refuse to take part any longer in Bush''s immoral war. Wouldn''t that be something to be thankful for?
Were you abused as a child oeangus ?
