2 suspects freed in Alabama teen's disappearance
ORANJESTAD, Aruba (CNN) -- A judge has ordered the release of two
brothers held as suspects in the disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee
Holloway, but ordered the son of a local judge to remain held, court officials
announced Monday.
Deepak Kalpoe, 21, and his brother Satish, 18, were ordered freed after a
hearing Monday morning. But the judge ordered suspect Joran Van Der Sloot held
for another 60 days while police continue their investigation into what
happened to Holloway, who was last seen May 30.
Van Der Sloot, 17, and the Kalpoe brothers have been in police custody
since June 9. Under Aruban law, prosecutors can request numerous extensions for
holding suspects -- but each time, prosecutors must meet a higher standard for
proving the necessity of keeping the suspects in custody.
Holloway, from the affluent Birmingham suburb of Mountain Brook, Ala.,
was last seen early May 30 leaving a nightclub with the three suspects. They
have not been charged with a crime in Holloway's disappearance, and attorneys
for all three have said they are innocent.
Deepak Kalpoe's lawyer, Rudy Oomen, told reporters outside the courthouse
that his
client was "very optimistic about the outcome" after Monday's hearing.
"What was presented, in my view, is beneficiary -- is good for my
client," he said.
The Kalpoes told police they left Holloway unharmed at a beach near the
Marriott Hotel.
Police took the three suspects separately Sunday morning to a stretch of
beach near the Marriott "to make sure that their stories matched," government
spokesman Ruben Trapenberg said.
Holloway was celebrating her high school graduation with about 100
classmates and several parent chaperones when she disappeared. Her mother and
stepfather, Beth Holloway Twitty and George "Jug" Twitty, went to the
courthouse for Monday's hearing but were not allowed into the closed
proceedings.
"We just felt like it was important for us to be here," "Jug" Twitty
said. "We're anxiously awaiting a decision."
Three Dutch F-16 reconnaissance planes equipped with lasers and special
cameras to assist in the search were expected to arrive Monday evening from the
Netherlands to assist in the search, the
Dutch Defense Ministry said. Each plane carries pods, slung beneath the
aircraft, that contain a laser-guided indicator, a television infrared camera,
two daylight cameras and a 12-inch lens that can make detailed images.
About 40 air force personnel will assist the search, and pictures from
each plane will be analyzed by air force photo interpreters, the defense
ministry said.

And if that doesn't work, they'll start mopping up the Ocean :rolleyes:

Still no corpse huh? Too bad for the girl's parents...

[Pam]

After all this time would it be safe to assume the poor girl is dead?

I hear her mom is still there waiting for some lead to show her what happened to her daughter.

I don't know, but I think its now a recovery mission rather than a rescue mission.

Aruban authorities give FBI stands of blonde hair for testing in missing teen
case

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (CNN) -- Strands of blonde hair have been found on a
piece of duct tape on a beach in Aruba, and Aruban investigators agreed Monday
to share a hair sample with the FBI for testing in connection with the case of
a missing Alabama teenager, a law enforcement source told CNN.
Aruban investigators are also sending a sample to a lab in the
Netherlands. The FBI asked for a sample to send to its crime lab in Quantico,
Virginia. It's not yet known when the hair will be flown there.
One of the goals of the tests will be to determine if the hair is that of
Natalee Holloway, who has been missing since May 30.
The piece of duct tape was found on Turtle Beach Sunday by a park ranger
who turned it over to the authorities, said the same source.
It is not known how large the piece of tape is, or how much hair was
found on it. The hair was described as blonde.
Aruban authorities continue to hold Joran van der Sloot, 17, in
connection with the investigation into Holloway's disappearance. He has denied
harming Holloway and has not been formally charged.
Holloway was seen leaving a night club with Van der Sloot and two other
men the night she disappeared.

Aruban authorities to let FBI take stronger role in Holloway case
From CNN National Correspondent Susan Candiotti
MIAMI (CNN) -- Following a meeting earlier this week, Aruban authorities
have had a change of heart and will now let the FBI take a stronger role in the
search for 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, an FBI spokeswoman said Friday.
However, Judy Orihuela said agents still won't be able to participate in
interviews of suspects or witnesses, as they had hoped.
She said the special agent in charge of the FBI office in Miami met with
Aruban authorities, who previously denied the FBI access to all interviews,
statements, evidence and documents in the case -- despite inviting the FBI to
participate after Holloway disappeared early May 30.
Requests for the material have been made several times, but each time,
Aruban authorities explained it would be against local rules to provide the
material. FBI agents contend they might be able to shed fresh light on the
case.
Aruba's chief prosecutor Karin Janssen said last week, "Cooperation
between the FBI and us is going well. We are investigating together, we are
working together. There are no complaints."
The FBI will now been able to review suspect interviews, tip sheets and
other materials, Orihuela said.
At one time, at least eight FBI agents were on hand from Miami and
Birmingham, Ala., and a victim/witness coordinator was assisting the family.
The FBI also rotated in specially trained dogs with their handlers from police
departments in Florida to help in the search.
The FBI was allowed to send a piece of duct tape with hair strands on it
to its laboratory in Quantico, Va., for analysis. Another piece of tape is
being analyzed in the Netherlands. Test results may be released next week.
Holloway was last seen leaving a nightclub with three young men. One of
them -- Joran van der Sloot, the 17-year-old son of an Aruban judge -- remains
in custody.
The woman was on a celebratory post-graduation class trip to Aruba with
classmates from the affluent Birmingham suburb of Mountain Brook when she
disappeared. There have been no firm clues on her whereabouts or whether she is
alive or dead.

Nice to see your sympathies were conveyed in an Uncle Tom type accent to reflect your "Mistabluesman" handle.

[NUNYABIZNACK]

I am sad to but something nefarious within me says she will not be a happy girl once they find her.
