Oranjestad, Aruba
Police in Aruba this week released two former security guards arrested in connection with the disappearance of an American tourist, and focused their investigation on three teens who were the last people known to have seen her. Natalee Holloway, 18, vanished three weeks ago during a high school graduation trip on the night before she was to fly home to Alabama. Police are holding two brothers from Suriname and the son of a Dutch judicial official who initially claimed they had dropped off Holloway at her hotel. Security cameras showed that she never returned, and one of the teens has reportedly admitted that “something bad happened.”
