Arrests In Natalee Holloway Disappearance

Authorities In Aruba And Netherlands Re-Arrest 3 Suspects In Case Of Missing Alabama Teen

(CBS/AP)  Three men who were previously detained as suspects in the 2005 disappearance of American teen Natalee Holloway were re-arrested Wednesday, the Aruban public prosecutor's office said, citing new evidence in the case.

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.

In April, investigators from the Netherlands dug around the home of van der Sloot's family for two days without revealing what prompted the search. Then in May, Dutch and Aruban investigators visited the home where Deepak and Satish Kalpoe live with their parents for what authorities termed an "inspection," without revealing details.

Vinda 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."

I believe she''s alive, don''t ask me how. I have a feeling she''s alive outside of the aruban area in human trafficing. I just pray somebody finds her and the other girls that are with her to bring them home. Like I said, please don''t ask me somehow I just know.

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.

[kissamaarse]

Sorry, but the fortune and life of one person should not grab star status, now or ever, on the corporate media''s center stage, when there are hundreds of issues affecting thousands, no millions, of people negatively every day. So like the media to feed us a missing blond. Wonder what is REALLY going on in the world that they don''t want to report on.

[barbaraf4]

Natalee Holloway''s mother destroyed her marriage with her single-handed obsession to find out what happened and to destroy those responsible.

There are no winners here.

[coyotebrains]

I knew it. Just a matter of time before some far-left nutcase blamed Bush for Natalee Holloways disappearance!

[nothappyatall]

"Its a case of: Cant escape the man above.

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''

Sick...sick...sick...pooor....sick...far...left...garbage.

[konabike]

Three men who were previously detained as suspects in the 2005 disappearance of American teen Natalee Holloway were re-arrested. I hope these are the suspects..

[coyotebrains]

AS you recall, the latest Bin Laden tapes were released by Bin Laden himself to try to thwart the re-election of Bush, but unfortunately for the far-laft croud....and Bin Laden, and fortunately for our country....it backfired!!!!

[ontheleft]

It isn''t Bush''s fault that Natalie Holloway died. However, it is Bush''s fault that over 4000 Americans have died in the war of choice in Iraq.

[gmond]

yawn

[speakinup]

Yeah - and over 40 people a day die from drunks being on the road - but I don''t hear you whining about that - so get off Bashing Bush you far left idiot.

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.

[cdfoxtrot]

Why does this thing keep getting media attention? People disappear every day of the week. Why does this chick get all this undeserved attention???? Who cares????

[kissamaarse]

Bush did it. He did everything. Everything foul.

[jetranger7]

Ohh I just love the Hard core "Republigoons" who support their Corrupt Fraudulent lying Low-Life-Degenerate Icon-Leader "Bush" ! They only know silly words like far left, or Right, like that really means their educated or something, What a Joke ! Their most likely part of that Republigoon College Crowd too Stupid and Ignorant to know any better anyway. These Idiots are the ones as to why theres problems here today, instead of having to admit their Degenerate Worthless Leader has let them down, and betrayed them and have screwed up everything they''ve layed their hands on thru LIES & Manuiplation, they will do and say anything to uphold an IDIOT like that and instantly cut down anybody who doesn''t agree with their "insane"-"Rhetoric", they just can''t handle the fact that they too have been lied to and decieved why it just can''t be nobody from our own party would do that to us !! It just can''t be not us?? Best Wake up, Republigoons, smell the coffee and face reality, you too have been had by members of your own Silly party !

Business must be bad in Aruba!
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.

Will the NAACP be on a plane to Aruba to represent those two Aruban''s charged in her murder? Stay tuned ...

[glaswolf]

cdfoxtrot at 08:20 PM: Seriously, the problem is not the dying, for as others point out death is everywhere. What''s problematic is the killing in a situation normally viewed as safe for our university students. When such folk are targeted with impunity, it normally means that the government and control mechanisms are about to be exterminated over regions ... a funny historical reality. I interrogated an Ethiopian who as a university student helped overthrow the Emperor, God of Rasta. The student''s father was extremely wealthy, and like most relatively extremely wealthy folk assumed their exhorbitant piles of gold would protect them, as did the poor folk who knew of them. Well, once a week the father would be arrested, beat and publicly humiliated. Consider the ignorant peasant who believed that wealth and position was all he needed for protection, until he watches the once wealthy and powerful treated like dogs treat rats in the street... how much less does he think materialism and friends will protect him from martial elements and their officers? It breaks the back of coward based resistance and reduces the conflict to those fighters loyal to natural leadership. This girl is key to that equation.

coyotebrains at 07:21 PM: Since Bush and Bin Laden families are fast friends, perhaps Osama released the tape to help Bush ... which it did. This article if anything gives Bushites a reason to get involved as the World Cop greasing every skid they find. Perhaps the phrase "Bush bin Laden" has meaning to den kleinen fuhreren ... some Nazi or Naziwatcher will have to correct my spelling.

loveangel192 at 05:21 PM: It is very possible that slave traders visit and party with this loose women and make sure they are acceptable and have acceptable facades needed in prostitution. She was probably worth alot a money, perhaps these boys sold her ... they could be a politically correct capture team. We just observed a French Spaniard capture team gather 100 black Chadian children for the EuroMediterranean child trading markets. She could have been kidnapped for "breeding up" stock by afro asian slave traders. She may be alive in dire straights. On the other hand, she could be in Malaysia prostituting for Christ, to attrack church goers ... a university girl in Europe ran into some religious folks and within 2 weeks she said she was having *** for Christ. She did that for ten years until she realized she was not saving the world for godliness, she had just degenerated into a prostitute beneath a religious cloak. She packed her bags and went home, after ten years.

This is the number one story, according to CBS, CNN and Faux News. Bu-llshi-t stories like this are the reason Americans are so poorly informed about what''s going on in the world and why the Iraq fiasco was allowed to happen.

[formrusmcsgt]

I feel for the family of the victim but letting someone who''s experience is zilch to go to another country with 100 others whose experience is zilch is flat asking for trouble.

[trenticus-2009]

I don''t think she is on the island and she IS alive. Unfortunatley she may be held against her will in some prostitution ring.
How can anybody be charged with murder with out a body?

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)

[glaswolf]

This is just one piece of a worldwide mosaic. Thru internet we have access to news through out the world, to imagine Americans are ignorant because of articles some view as merely sensational is way off the mark. Do I care about this girl, no. Am I concerned about the socio politico conditions which led to her misfortune, yes. Is one family''s pathos important to me, no. Is the trauma to the sense of safety our students need of concern to me, very much so ... I consider tampering with our students'' sense of well being a direct attack on the viability American intellectualism, and as we are at war ... I consider her disappearance an act of war, though others might view it as a "you get what you deserve" situation for a politically correct university student. Political correctness is repulsive to me.

[eagrrl]

I don''t think we should take the disappearance of anyone so lightly that it becomes an intellectual exercise. She is/was a person and she has/had the right to be safe, the way we all have the right to be safe/secure in the world. We shouldn''t suffer murderers to walk among us, anywhere. There is nothing that excuses it, or makes it right. Whoever takes the life of another person is a murderer, and dangerous to the rest of us. Someone knows what happened to her and is not saying. Who is condoning/excusing this abomination?

[glaswolf]

Edward1975 at 11:56 PM: I am not godfearing, let us resolve that there is a core of Americans who will preserve the nation at all costs, but recognize that we have too many with paper and different mind sets. There is a United body politic in which we must have faith in, but only because we apply ourselves to ensure our unified survival. Let us resolve to ensure the logistic systems of our expeditionary forces. Let us resolve that honorable enemies are to be preferred to dishonorable friends. I suspect that terror in the abstract is embedded as networks among our dishonorable friends. Sometimes activity is like pestulence, it threatens both sides of any issue.

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.

[glaswolf]

Terror is basicly a socio-politico form of pestulence, as an analogue model. Let us resolve to keep happy, to be thankful for our well being and relative abundance, access and freedom of essential
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.

[glaswolf]

We have a great many things and a greatness as a federation of hundreds of nations and representatives from most nations of the world to be thankful for. We are strong and good as nations go in history. Let us resolve to keep our goodness regardless of our ambiant evolution and conditions beyond the great ponds. Viva Yanquis, Viva Villa, Viva Zapata. Oh, Happy Thanks Giving. Keep chipper and study. Have faith, we will survive.

If you respect the troops, work to bring them home ASAP.
