Notice the school SAT and Exam dates for Joran School in post 748. Monday May 30th is when Natalee came up missing and I believe Joran was not arrested until June 7th.

He may have never taken all his exams and now we know he did not have to take them that Monday morning of May 30th.

Special Search Team Due On Aruba Friday Night

Group Plans To Join Search For Natalee Holloway Saturday

UPDATED: 12:43 pm CDT June 24, 2005

ORANJESTAD, Aruba -- More help is on the way in the search for an Alabama teenager who disappeared in Aruba nearly four weeks ago.

A volunteer rescue group from Texas is to arrive in Aruba Friday evening. A diver with the group said they'd start work Saturday.

Joe Huston said the volunteers will use search dogs and sonar equipment to look for the teen in areas that have not been searched, mainly inland and coastline areas.

Natalee Holloway, 18, hasn't been seen since May 30. Five people have been detained in connection with her disappearance, including a Dutch teen who had been seen with Holloway, and the boy's father, who was arrested Thursday.

However, no one has been charged yet in Holloway's disappearance.

Holloway's uncle, Paul Reynolds, who lives in Houston, asked for the Texas search group's help because the family was frustrated that three weeks of searches on the island had turned up nothing.

Dutch Teen Changes Story About Missing Woman

Joran van der Sloot, 17, has reportedly changed the story he initially gave police about his involvement with Holloway.

The boy's mother told The Associated Press her son now admits to being alone with Holloway on a beach. But she said he insists he did not hurt Holloway.

Van der Sloot and two of his friends first told police they dropped Holloway off at the hotel where she was staying. But his mother said her son admits the story is not true and that he and Holloway were in fact alone together on the beach. But she said he insists he left Holloway there unharmed.

Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, has insisted that the three young men in custody know what happened to her daughter. She said police should press them harder to tell the truth.

In another development, authorities took the teen's father into custody Thursday as the fifth suspect detained in the case.

A spokeswoman for Aruba's attorney general said Paul van der Sloot is "a suspect in the disappearance" of Holloway. Paul Van der Sloot is a justice official on the island.

His wife insists that Paul van der Sloot has done nothing wrong. She said Aruban authorities arrested him because they were under pressure from the U.S. government and from the news media to produce results.

Anita van der Sloot told The Associated Press her husband was "just picked up by police." She added, "I don't know what to think."

While Anita van der Sloot had been allowed to visit her son occasionally in jail, authorities have denied similar access to her husband. They did so because they were treating the father as a potential witness, and believed contact between the two could damage the investigation.

Officials said that lie detector equipment was brought in for the questioning. Polygraphs aren't admissible in court in the United States, but attorneys said that if everyone agreed, they would use a polygraph in the investigation there.

Joran Van der Sloot's mother visited him in the jail on Tuesday and described him as very upset and sad, but hanging in there. She said that she and her family were very frustrated with a lack of information -- a similar complaint from Holloway's family.

"He's very upset because today would have been a very great day for him," said Anita van der Sloot. "We would have made preparations for his study in the states, so he's very sad, but he's doing OK."
