That is incorrect. On July 4, the judge ruled that JvdS could be held for 60 more days.
The investigation into what happened to a U.S. teen who vanished more than five weeks ago is focusing on a Dutch minor after a judge ruled police could detain him an additional 60 days but ordered the release of two Surinamese brothers.
A judge ruled Monday there was sufficient evidence against 17-year-old Joran van der Sloot to keep him jailed while prosecutors built their case, but ordered brothers Deepak Kalpoe, 21, and Satish Kalpoe, 18, released immediately.
I recall hearing the release date is September 4.
You are right - Joran Van der Sloot is in custody until at LEAST September 4th!!
