Searching Aruba

Unconfirmed sources would report on June 11, 2005 that the search for Natalee was settling into the Canashito Caves area south of Hooiberg, Aruba. This area has the only mountain on the island and is well off the main road. It is known for a set of caves and also in one of the caves is named The Tunnel of Love.

Speaking with attorneys for the three suspects, as they leave court on Sunday, they announce that the boys will be held over for an additional eight days, as the investigation continues. The attorneys cannot commit on the facts of the case. Both attorneys for Joran van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers maintain their clients innocence. It is being reported from sources from the airport that an additional nine FBI agents have arrived on Aruba to aid in the investigation.

Man leading Aruba police to the scene,

June 11, 2005, Alabama grad missing since May 30th.

 


ORANJESTAD, Aruba (June 11)
- Police investigating the disappearance of an Alabama teenager in Aruba said one of three young men in custody has admitted ''something bad happened' to her during her island visit.

Deputy Police Commissioner Gerold Dompig told The Associated Press that the man was leading police late Friday to the scene. He refused to identify which of the three young men who took her to a beach the night she disappeared made the statement.

Early Saturday, police refused to say if they had discovered anything.

Natalee Holloway, 18, vanished on May 30 during a five-day trip to the Dutch Caribbean island with 124 classmates and seven chaperones celebrating their graduation from Mountain Brook High School, near Birmingham. Police found her U.S. passport and packed bags in her hotel room after she failed to show up for her return flight that day.

A relative said Holloway's family continues to believe she is alive. Rumors raging on the island that she is dead are ''an aggressive interpretation' of what police are saying, Jar Twitty, the brother of Holloway's stepfather, told the AP.
