Gerold Dompig press conference

By June 4, 2005 three young men were emerging as persons of interest in the case. At this time they remain unnamed and all that is known is they range in age from 18 to 25 (which of course would prove incorrect).These young men claim to have dropped Natalee Holloway off at the Holiday Inn after giving her a ride from Carlos 'N Charlies. Security cameras at the Holiday Inn however do not show any record of her return.
