Update from Today’s Diario: (partial translation)

. . . This person [referring to the witness] left a house to go to his own house in the late hours of the night [in question] and as he was walking to his house, he passed on a dirt road where a car was parked. As he was walking past the car he saw three men sitting in the car. One which was white put his hand to his face to cover his face while the other who has sitting next to him turned his head so that he could not be seen and the person who was sitting on the seat behind in the car quickly lowered himself to that he could not be seen at all.
After a few days when he the news of Natalee was in the news media this witness noticed that the three persons he saw in the car were Van der Sloot and the two Kalpoe siblings.

Because of fear the witness did not come forward to give police authorities this key information, but after three weeks the DIARIO team came to find the witness and convinced this person that in the interest of all people that have something on the line in this case, the witness decided to cooperate with DIARIO and with the police also and so the special DIARIO team took him to the police station at Bubali where the detectives interrogated this person.

Informations which relate to this testimony came partially from KIA where some person who was jailed together with the Kalpoe brothers heard this and that and so the information came to the special team of DIARIO and finally the witness was obtained and now the police has a better view on certain parts of the investigation.

It should also be mentioned that this is not the only key information but that there a lot of important information that in the coming days can determine the path of the investigation on the disappearance of Natalee.
