Sources: Pond near hotel to be drained in Holloway search
PALM BEACH, Aruba (CNN) -- Investigators searching for missing Alabama
teen Natalee Holloway plan to drain a pond near a beach where two brothers told
police they dropped off her and a judge's son early on the day she disappeared,
two law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation told CNN Tuesday.
It was unclear when the work might begin.
A CNN news photographer who saw two groups of police officers and other
investigators walking around the pond late Tuesday afternoon was asked to leave
because authorities were about to "survey" the area.
After those law enforcement personnel left, a fire truck pulled up to the
spot.
Law enforcement sources told CNN a local gardener gave them information
about the pond that makes them want to search it for the teen's body. Sources
would not say what the gardener's connection to the pond is, if any, and what
information he has.
Deepak Kalpoe, 21, and his brother, Satish, 18, are still considered
suspects in Holloway's disappearance, even though they were released from jail.
They told police they drove Holloway, 18, and Joran van der Sloot, 17, to the
beach north of the Marriott Hotel and left them there after leaving a nightclub
early May 30.
Van der Sloot remains in jail.
No one has been charged with Holloway's disappearance.
The pond is next to the Aruba racket club, about one-quarter mile from
the Marriott. It also is near a subdivision under construction.
The sources say the gardener gave a sworn statement to authorities over
the weekend. In it, he claims to have seen a car believed to belong to the
Kalpoe brothers parked by the side of a road near the racket club about 2:30 on
the morning Holloway disappeared.
The gardener maintains in the statement that he recognized the Kalpoe
brothers and Van der Sloot sitting in the darkened car.
Van der Sloot's mother has said her son told her he was on the beach with
Holloway, but left her there because she wanted to stay.
On Monday, Holloway's mother announced a reward of $1 million for the
safe return of Natalee.

Suspect in Alabama teen's disappearance faces more questions
(CNN) -- Joran van der Sloot, the only suspect who remains jailed in
connection with the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway on Aruba,
will be questioned further about the case Tuesday, authorities said.
The questioning will be handled by Dutch behavioral specialists, as
authorities try to shed new light on the case more than two months after
Holloway vanished from the resort island. Defense attorney Antonio Carlo said
his client has said all he's going to say, and he doesn't know what more Van
der Sloot can add.
"We'll see what happens," Carlo said.
He said Van der Sloot's parents have been visiting their son "frequently"
at the prison. Van der Sloot is being held in the youth section of the
facility, with access to newspapers and television.
"He's holding up," Carlo said.
Authorities said Van der Sloot, the 17-year-old son of an Aruban judge,
will be transported from the prison where he is currently being held to a
police station for Tuesday's interview.
Holloway, 18, disappeared May 30 while on a celebratory senior graduation
trip with her classmates. She was last seen leaving a nightclub with Van der
Sloot and two brothers, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, who were jailed early on in
the case but later released.
Aruban authorities said Monday they are looking for a pair of size 14
tennis shoes that Van der Sloot might have lost on the night Holloway
disappeared.
"He says he might have lost a pair of sneakers on the beach the night
Natalee disappeared. That's what he claims in one of his many statements, "
lead police investigator Roy Tromp said.
Tromp said the suspect described the shoes as white and blue and brand
new.
"He claimed he lost them in the area of Fisherman's Hut, but we looking
at other places, including the pond," he said.
That pond was drained last week after a witness said he saw Van der Sloot
and the two brothers near there. Authorities said Saturday they had completed
their search of the pond and had found nothing.
Fisherman's Hut is an area of a beach near the Marriott and Holiday Inn
hotels. Holloway was staying at the Holiday Inn.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) -- The family of Natalee Holloway on
Monday more than doubled the reward for help solving her
disappearance, while the Alabama teen's mother again criticized the
direction of the investigation.
The reward for information that helps solve the more than
2-month-old mystery is now $250,000, up from $100,000, said Beth
Holloway Twitty, the teen's mother. The family has also offered a
$1 million reward for information leading to Natalee's safe return.
"I hope more money will help bring people forward," Holloway
Twitty said in an interview. "I still don't feel like this
investigation is heading in the right direction."
Holloway Twitty said police had given her copies of statements
from witnesses and other documents from the investigation that have
led her to believe investigators are on the wrong track.
"The level of ineptness has been incredible," Holloway Twitty
said of Aruban authorities. "The whole thing has been wrong from
the beginning."
She declined to give details on the documents or say how she
thinks authorities should be handling the case.
Chief Prosecutor Karin Janssen called the criticism unwarranted.
"I'm positive about our progress and very proud of my team,"
said Janssen.
Later Monday, Holloway Twitty said she confronted one of the men
who had been arrested and then released in her daughter's
disappearance.
Holloway Twitty said she went into the Internet cafe where
21-year-old Deepak Kalpoe worked, telling him about the $250,000
reward and encouraging him to come forward with any information he
might have.
"He wouldn't look at me," said Holloway Twitty. "He just told
me I would have to speak to his lawyer."
Holloway Twitty has repeatedly said that Kalpoe, his 18-year-old
brother, Satish, and 18-year-old Joran van der Sloot were involved
in Natalee's disappearance.
The three were arrested June 9, but the Kalpoe brothers were
ordered released last month. No one has been charged in the case
and van der Sloot is the only person still detained.
Holloway Twitty said the family wanted to publicize the reward
in neighboring Venezuela and Colombia, even though Aruban
authorities and the FBI have said they don't believe Natalee ever
left Aruba.
Extensive searches by Dutch marines, Aruban police, and
thousands of volunteers have found no trace of the 18-year-old
honors student, who vanished on May 30 during a graduation trip
with 124 classmates on the Dutch Caribbean island.
Through his lawyers and family, van der Sloot has acknowledged
being on a beach alone with the young woman the day she
disappeared, but says he left her there unharmed.

Poor Poor Deepak.....
ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) -- A man formerly detained in the
disappearance of Natalee Holloway complained to authorities that
her mother has been harassing him. Police say Deepak Kalpoe, a
21-year-old Suriname national, asked that Beth Holloway Twitty stay
away from him. Inspector Carlos Sarge says police will ask her to
do so. Kalpoe's complaint came after Holloway Twitty confronted him
and asked about her daughter's disappearance. A T-V- crew filmed
the scene.

Two brothers once detained in Holloway case rearrested
on suspicion of rape, murder
(CNN) -- The two brothers in Aruba who had been detained and then
released in connection with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway were arrested
again Friday on suspicion they acted "together with other people" in raping and
killing the Alabama teen, the prosecutor's office said.
The office said in order to rearrest Satish and Deepak Kalpoe, ages 18
and 21, "new facts and circumstances" had to arise.
"That is the case," the prosecutor's office said in a written statement,
without elaborating on the evidence.
"They are suspected of the primary criminal act of together with other
people committing premeditated murder, alternately together with other people
murdering somebody, more alternately rob a person of her liberty with fatal
consequences and even more alternately raping somebody.
"Aside from these suspicions against the two brothers, there are new
suspicions, which at this point the prosecutor is not commenting on."
In addition, prosecutors said they arrested a third person, who was only
identified by the initials "FZA." Further information on that suspect -- and
the reason for the arrest -- was not immediately provided.
The arrests come nearly three months to the day after Holloway
disappeared from Aruba during a celebratory high school graduation trip with
classmates. Authorities have said Holloway was last seen leaving a nightclub in
the early hours May 30 with the two brothers and Joran van der Sloot, the
18-year-old son of an Aruban judge who also remains behind bars.
The disappearance has prompted massive searches for Holloway around the
tiny island, but a body has never been found.
Roy Tromp, the lead Aruban police investigator, told CNN the two brothers
were to be questioned Friday and Saturday by Dutch interrogators. They were
arrested around 5:30 a.m.
The Kalpoe brothers were originally arrested and jailed June 9, but were
released July 4, when a judge ruled there was not enough evidence to keep them
jailed. The two have told police they dropped Holloway and Van der Sloot off at
a beach north of the Marriott Hotel after they left the nightclub.
It was not immediately clear what the new evidence was that led to
Friday's arrests, but the FBI and Dutch investigators have taken a more active
role in recent weeks in aiding the Aruban police in the investigation.

Yeah, I know it's been 2 and a half years and the thread is heavily laced with the unnamed one's crap but here's an important update.
This guy had the prosecution re-open the Holloway on account of confessions made, filmed with a hidden camera. (Link in English)
Dutch commercial tv SBS6 will broaddcast a special on Sunday in which it'll be revealed how the girl was killed and what happened to the corpse

I always think the name Van Der Sloot sounds like a name Don Martin from Mad Magazine would have made up.
