Joran van der Sloot, shown in custody in Aruba on June 11, 2005. He was released without charge, but now has been arrested again in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.
Three young men previously named as suspects in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway have been re-arrested on suspicion of causing the American teen’s death, the Aruban public prosecutor’s office said Wednesday.
Dutch national Joran van der Sloot and two Surinamese brothers, Satish and Deepak Kalpoe, were arrested on suspicion of involvement in manslaughter and causing serious bodily harm that resulted in Holloway’s death, the prosecutor’s office said.
“The public prosecutor’s office has ordered their renewed arrest because further investigation into the disappearance has led to new incriminating evidence,” the prosecutor’s office said in the statement. It did not say what that new evidence was.
Van der Sloot, now 20, was taken into custody in the Netherlands, where he is a university student, the prosecutor’s office said. He was expected to be sent to the Caribbean island "within several days," a spokesman for the Dutch national prosecutor's office said.
Because Aruba is considered part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, no extradition hearing is necessary, the spokesman said.
The Kalpoes were both arrested in Aruba. They were expected to make an initial appearance in an Aruban court on Friday, when prosecutors were expected to unveil the new evidence to a judge.
Holloway, from suburban Birmingham, Ala., disappeared while on a high school graduation trip. Her body has never been found.
The 18-year-old blonde was last seen leaving Carlos ‘n Charlie’s bar in Aruba early on May 30, 2005, in the company of van der Sloot and the Kalpoes.
All three men were arrested following her disappearance but never charged. They have all said they are innocent.
In April, investigators from the Netherlands dug around the Aruban home of van der Sloot’s family for two days. They did not say what prompted the search or what, if anything, was recovered from the property.
The next month, Dutch and Aruban investigators visited the home where the Kalpoe brothers live with their parents for an “inspection.” Again, authorities did not give out any details.
A lawyer for Dave Holloway, the missing teen's father, said she had not yet talked to the family and she did not know what the new evidence might be.
“I’m as excited as the Holloway family can be,” Vnda de Sousa told The Associated Press.
“Anything new in this case, or any development, just gives you rekindled hope that one day this will be solved. I know the investigation never stopped.”
