Police Release Holloway Suspect

Police released a 19-year-old man Monday after arresting him nine days ago in the disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway, but the Aruba public prosecutor's office said he remained a suspect.

In a statement, the prosecutor's office also said Monday that a 20-year-old man with the initials E.B. was arrested in the Holloway case on Saturday and was released after six hours of interrogation. No details were provided.

Geoffrey van Cromvoirt, the 19-year-old who was arrested on April 15, is suspected of "criminal offenses that may be related to the disappearance" of Holloway, prosecutors said.

"He has been released because the grounds for his detention are no longer there. He remains a suspect," the prosecutor's office said without elaborating.

Holloway, of Mountain Brook, Ala., was 18 when she vanished on May 30, the final night of her high school graduation trip to this Dutch Caribbean island.

Authorities have arrested seven people in connection with Holloway's disappearance and then released them for lack of evidence.

Van Cromvoirt's family and his defense attorney has said he had nothing to do with Holloway's disappearance and is not connected with anyone previously detained in the investigation. The 19-year-old was also detained on suspicion of drug offenses.

Joseph Tacopina, who represents Dutch youth Joran van der Sloot who had been jailed as a suspect, told CBS News last week that van Cromvoirt was detained because police recovered a T-shirt belonging to him with "relevant forensic information" from the south side of the Dutch Caribbean island.

CBS News correspondent Bianca Solorzano reported the teen lives at his family's home, and his father owns a security company. But he spends a lot of his time on the island's beaches, working as a beach patrol member or in water sports.

Dutch marines, the Aruban Coast Guard, the FBI and hundreds of volunteers have searched the island and coastal areas for Holloway, to no avail.
