Suspect In Holloway Disappearance Leaves Aruba

Dutch Teen Goes To College In Netherlands

POSTED: 2:01 pm EDT September 6, 2005

UPDATED: 2:17 pm EDT September 6, 2005

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -- A suspect in the case of a missing Alabama high school student has been allowed to leave the Caribbean island of Aruba.

The Dutch teen was released from police custody Saturday. His mother said he'll be attending college in the Netherlands.

Joran van der Sloot has been among three suspects in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Prosecutors had tried to keep him in the Dutch Caribbean island, saying his release required that he remain available to police.

However, a judge rejected the request, and an appeals court supported the decision.

Authorities in Aruba said the investigation is continuing into the American girl's disappearance last May.

Are the parents still down there searching?

I think theres alot of people who have been paid off to keep quite. Almost 4 months now and nothing... Arrested the same people like 10 times, and let them go.. what the fuck?

...when would you give up as a parent?....you'd say never as an ideal, but if you gave everything on a daily basis to finding her, wouldnt you be ready to let go at some point?...

its difficult especially with tabloids saying they found her alive, or found her dead every week.

Aruba mystery: Holloway's parents sue Dutch teen

'Trip to a tropical paradise ... turned to tragedy'

Friday, February 17, 2006; Posted: 3:01 a.m. EST (08:01 GMT)

Natalee Holloway disappeared on a trip to Aruba last May.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- The parents of missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway have filed a lawsuit against one of the teenagers who was questioned in the case.

In documents filed with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch national, is accused of "malicious, wanton and willful disregard of the rights, safety and well-being of the plaintiffs and their daughter, Natalee Holloway."

Holloway's parents, Elizabeth Ann Twitty and Dave Edward Holloway, have asked for an unspecified amount of punitive damages from van der Sloot and his father, Paulus van der Sloot, an Aruban judge.

According to court documents, the van der Sloots were personally served with the lawsuit in New York.

Van der Sloot, 18, was arrested in June in connection with Holloway's disappearance. Her disappearance prompted massive searches around the tiny island, but a body has never been found.

Holloway was last reported seen leaving a bar on the resort island with Van der Sloot and two brothers, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. All three were questioned and released.

Holloway, 18, a resident of the Birmingham, Alabama, suburb of Mountain Brook, was in Aruba with a group of classmates celebrating their high school graduation.

The 16-page lawsuit makes its case with a mixture of fact and supposition, using a dramatic opening paragraph:

"This is a case about a high-school graduation trip to a tropical paradise that turned to tragedy. The trip was an opportunity for a group of young people to celebrate the end of one phase of their lives and the beginning of another. But for one young woman on that ill-fated trip, paradise it was not. For that young woman, Natalee Holloway, the trip was a brutal contrast to a life full of promise and hope."

Holloway was last reported seen in a car with van der Sloot and the Kalpoes near an island nightspot.

In a section of the case called "Natalee's Nightmare," the lawsuit alleges that "the next hours of Natalee's young life were marked by torment, terror and debasement," adding that she was kept against her will, sexually assaulted and fondled by van der Sloot and "his accomplices" as she "drifted in and out of consciousness."

During police questioning, van der Sloot and the Kalpoes gave conflicting testimony of what happened after Holloway was last seen in the car with them. Other than her disappearance, no clear details of what may have happened that night have emerged.

The lawsuit describes van der Sloot as "The Predator," alleging his parents let the boy, then 17 years old, spend his free time drinking, gambling and "trawling for victims."

The suit also says van der Sloot's father, Paulus, created a permissive environment for his son that "knowingly facilitated his own son's predatory ... behavior toward Natalee Holloway."

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- Aruban authorities reportedly have a new witness in the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway and plan to conduct another search for her body on the Dutch Caribbean island.

The witness provided specific information that prompted investigators to organize a search in sand dunes along the northern tip of the island, said Gerald Dompig, Aruba's deputy chief of police, in an interview with CBS television's "48 Hours Mystery" program.

Dompig said investigators will use cadaver dogs to search near a lighthouse and believe that someone took steps to carefully hide Holloway's body -- perhaps burying her twice.

The witness "wanted to talk about the fact that he knew more about the whereabouts of Natalee," Dompig said, according to a partial transcript of the interview, scheduled for broadcast on Saturday.

"The information that this person gave was too specific to just be a story that was just made up by someone."

Aruban authorities declined to comment on the report Wednesday.

Holloway's mother, Beth Twitty of Mountain Brook, Alabama, said she's aware of the program, but had "no idea" how it would be presented.

"I'm just waiting to see it Saturday night," Twitty said.

Holloway, 18, was last seen leaving a bar with Dutch national Joran van der Sloot and Surinamese brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. No one has been charged in her disappearance and the investigation has produced a number of false leads.

In January, Aruban investigators searched sand dunes on the northwest coast of the island with more than 50 officers. At the time, Dompig said police had considered the dunes a place of interest since the investigation began and had searched them before.

Man arrested in Holloway case has no link to missing teen, lawyer saysPosted 4/19/2006 11:33 PM

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — The family of a 19-year-old arrested in the case of missing U.S. teenager Natalie Holloway said he had nothing to do with her disappearance last year.

The family of Geoffrey van Cromvoirt also said in a statement released Wednesday by his lawyers that he is not friends with any of the people previously detained in an investigation that has gathered forced in recent days with new searches and witness interviews.

"The family van Cromvoirt distances itself completely from all expressions or statements which bring Geoffrey van Cromvoirt in connection with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway and any statements in which any role is attributed to him in this case," the family said in a statement that released in Dutch by his lawyer, Eline Lotter Homan.

Aruban prosecutors, identifying Cromvoirt only by his initials, said he was suspected of "criminal offenses that may be related to the disappearance" of Holloway but have not provided details about why he was arrested.

"Her friends have not given me any indication that Natalee had a meeting with this young man or ... (had) a relationship with him," Holloway's mother, Beth Twitty, told CNN's Larry King Live on Wednesday.

Holloway, who was 18 when she disappeared, was last seen leaving a bar with Dutch teen Joran van der Sloot, and two Surinamese brothers, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, on May 30 — the final night of her high school graduation trip to the Caribbean island.

Van der Sloot and the brothers, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, were jailed and later released after a judge ruled there was not enough evidence to hold them.

The public prosecutor's office said Wednesday that the coast guard was using sonar and other equipment to check an unspecified area off the Caribbean island. The search, the latest of many for the missing Alabama teen, was in its fourth day but had not previously been disclosed.

Officials on the Dutch island also said they were interviewing witnesses and were in contact with authorities in the Netherlands about tips received after the airing of a television program devoted to unsolved crimes.

A judge on Tuesday had approved a prosecution request to hold the man pending further investigation. He was also detained on suspicion of drug offenses.

Under the law, another hearing for the man — identified only by his initials, G.V.C. — must be held by at least April 25 if the prosecution wants to continue holding him, said Mariaine Croes, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office.

Searches involving Dutch marines, the FBI and hundreds of volunteers have been conducted throughout the island and off the coast. More recent searches have focused on dunes along the island's north shore.
