Aruban Prosecutors to Question More People in Case of Missing Alabama Teen
By Margaret Wever Associated Press Writer
Published: Nov 4, 2005

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) - Aruban prosecutors said Friday they have new witnesses and leads into the disappearance of a U.S. teen who vanished on a school trip to the Dutch Caribbean island more than five months ago.

Natalee Holloway, then 18, was last seen early on May 30 leaving a bar with Dutch national Joran van der Sloot and Surinamese brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. They were arrested on June 9 but released after a court ruled there was not enough evidence to hold them.

The Aruban prosecutors office said it was conducting new interviews of witnesses in the disappearance.

"From this review the team has concluded that there are several aspects that need more attention," the prosecutor's office said in a statement. "There are people living in the United States of America who have to be interviewed again."

Prosecutors did not provide details about any new developments and did not return telephone calls seeking comment.

The report of new interviews came after the missing teen's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, visited Aruba this week and alleged that three law enforcement officials did not take the investigation seriously in the crucial early stages. She demanded the three be removed from the case.

Twitty, who left Aruba Thursday, told reporters she wanted to meet with prosecutors and police to discuss a taped interview in which Deepak Kalpoe, one of the brothers, allegedly says all three had sex with Holloway, who would have turned 19 last month.

Twitty said she was "disheartened" with the response of Police Chief Gerald Dompig, Chief Prosecutor Karin Jansen and Detective Dennis Jacobs to the disappearance of her daughter.

"They have placed barriers to the advancement of the investigation," Twitty said. "They should be replaced."

Just remembered one more thing Dave said. There is a witness Dave and friends have been watching and he is getting nervous. Dave pleaded with Dompig to question this witness now while the time was right. As of now, that has not been done. Dave would not reveal who this witness is for fear of jeopardizing this oppritunity.

Also, they recieved a response this afternoon to their letter. It was an "ah gee, we don't have the authority to do this...it's up to the Dutch...so we won't be removing anyone from this case. Aruba passed the buck.

Press Release from Prosecutors Office in Aruba
Looks like another Friday late afternoon presser out of The Aruban Prosecutors office.

"Oranjestad: In this press release, the Public Prosecutor’s Office provides an update of the investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway."

"At this time the investigative team, which consists of police agents from the Aruban Police Force under guidance of the prosecutor in charge of this case, is at work in several areas of the criminal investigation into the disappearance of miss Holloway last May of this year. In the first place the team is busy investigating aspects and leads that have not been investigated yet."

"The investigative team is also interviewing new witnesses and witnesses who have already been interviewed in this case are being interviewed again. Yesterday for instance, members of the police team interviewed the mother of the missing Miss Holloway. She was on the island for a couple of days."

"Besides investigating new leads or leads that have not been investigated yet and interviewing new witnesses and witnesses who have already been interviewed the team is reviewing the whole investigation from the start until now. From this review the team has concluded that there are several aspects that need more attention, for instance there are people living in the United States of America who have to be interviewed again, this time more profoundly. To realize this, the Public Prosecutor’s Office has petitioned the United States of America for legal assistance. When there is more information about this request that can be made public, the Public Prosecutor’s Office will make this information public."

"The last development that will be highlighted in this press release regards the tapes of the Dr. Phil show. During this show a couple of weeks ago a tape was shown in which one suspect in the case of the disappearance of miss Holloway makes declarations about the case on camera to a private investigator. After requesting and receiving these tapes from the United States of America the tapes were sent to the Dutch Forensic Institute in Holland for further testing. The results of these tests are not known yet."

"The Public Prosecutor’s Office will keep on working as it always has, which is according to the law."

I guess this would be their response to the complaints in the families five page letter asking for all to be taken off the case. Funny, no where in the above presser does it say questioning the three suspects or Paul Van der Sloot.

Placed barriers??? They have done that all along. Think about it - the three places that the ALE ABSOLUTELY and OBVIOUSLY Interfered with were the two places on the VDS property - under the newly poured cement (within days of this happening) and the old abandoned well on the property, and last but not least, the dump!!

The fact that Natalee was known to be at the VDS residence at 1:40 am May 31st and not being permitted to get a warrant for the property - STINKS. Then Jossy Mansur's son Eduardo along with others dug out a certain place in the dump to which they had been directed and when they had excavated down to the place where the newspapers were dated May 26th, overnight the ENTIRE HUGE hole had been filled back in!! THEN they were refused another PERMIT to go back and re-excavate!! That also STINKS.

When Tim Miller asked Paulus VDS if Equsearch could search the well and the cement using equipment that wouldn't require digging up the cement, Tim stated "Paulus VDS went crazy"!!
