S. O'BRIEN: A fourth suspect in the disappearance of an Alabama teenager is set to appear before a judge in Aruba today. It's been exactly three weeks since Natalee Holloway disappeared on that Caribbean island.
Chris Lawrence live for us this morning in Palm Beach, Aruba.
Chris, good morning. What's the latest on this investigation?
CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Soledad, police are definitely looking more closely at one family, the Dutch teenager who hit it off with Natalee the night she disappeared, and his father, who was questioned by police on Saturday and then brought back for more talks the next day.

LAWRENCE (voice-over): No charges have been filed in the disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway. Over the weekend, police in Aruba questioned this man, but only as a witness.
Paul Van Der Sloot rushed home after speaking with investigators for hours. Van Der Sloot is a judge on the island. His teenage son Joran is one of the suspects being held.
ALLY SANTOS, FRIEND OF JORAN VAN DER SLOOT: He's a very sweet boy.
LAWRENCE: Ally Santos practically grew up with Joran Van Der Sloot.
SANTOS: It's very weird that everybody seems to be thinking that he could have done something to Natalee or something, because he's usually very protective with girls. LAWRENCE: Natalee's friends haven't seen her since she left the bar three weeks ago with Van Der Sloot and two brothers, Satish and Deepak Kalpoe. A judge decided all three could be detained another week, even though no charges have been filed against them.
Police picked up a fourth suspect Friday, a local man who worked as a deejay on this party boat. Steven Croes' boss told CNN, Croes knows one of the brothers from a local Internet cafe.

LAWRENCE: We'll be in court later this morning. According to Aruban law, prosecutors have to prove why he should be detained another eight days without actually bringing formal charges against him -- Soledad.
S. O'BRIEN: Chris Lawrence for us this morning in Aruba. Chris, thanks for the update -- Miles.
