Missing Alabama girl's mother makes plea
Thursday, July 7, 2005
ORANJESTAD, Aruba (UPI): The mother of a
missing Alabama teenager has asked police in Aruba to ban two suspects from
leaving the island until her daughter is found.
Beth Holloway Twitty made the plea after a judge ordered 21-year-old Deepak
Kalpoe and his 18-year-old brother, Satish, released from jail Monday based on
lack of evidence. The woman told reporters
she is convinced the brothers "were involved in a violent crime against my
daughter," and asked why they could be allowed "to walk freely among the
tourists and citizens of Aruba." Natalee
Holloway, 18, was last seen May 30 leaving a hotel nightclub with the brothers
and 17-year-old Joran Van Der Sloot. He remains in custody, but has not been
charged, CNN said. Prosecutors have said that
Van Der Sloot and the Kalpoes made statements "that are not sustained by other
investigative results and/or witness statements."
Meanwhile, three Dutch F-16 jets equipped with lasers and special cameras were
scheduled to sweep the island Wednesday for signs of Holloway.
