Aruba beach searched for missing girl
Wednesday, June 15, 2005
ORANJESTAD, Aruba (UPI): Police and
dog teams searched beachfront near the Marriott Hotel on Aruba Tuesday for
clues in the disappearance of an Alabama teen missing more than two weeks.
Authorities cordoned off a swampy mangrove area and police began a sweep hours
after the release of two security guards who worked near the Holiday Inn where
Natalie Holloway, 18, was staying when she vanished May 30.
One of the men released Monday said three suspects still in custody lied about
dropping the girl off at her hotel. One told him they left the girl on the
beach with a Dutch youth. CNN said FBI
bloodhounds and several boats combed beachfront and shrubbery several blocks
from the Holiday Inn. The area had not been searched previously Beth Holloway
Twitty, Natalie's mother, praised authorities for cooperating with the FBI.
The teen from the Birmingham suburb of Mountain Brook, Ala., was on a trip to
the Dutch Caribbean island with classmates celebrating her high school
graduation.
