The three young boys, the Kalpoe brothers and Joran van der Sloot remain as suspects in the Natalee Holloway disappearance case, according to police Commissioner Dompig. The change of direction by the Investigating Team does not free the three from all guilt.

In fact, according to their own declaration, they were the last to see and to be with Natalee in their car. They also declared to have dropped Natalee at the beach near Fiaherman’s Hut. According to Dompig they must know more.

So far they have denied to have murdered Natalee but fact is that they dropped at the site mentioned. They do not know what happened after that and that is why it is important for the Investigating Team to verify their story.

The Commissioner will try to take a couple of shots of the front of Joran van der Sloot’s residence and then request the people to think who could have seen a grey Honda Civic there around 1:40 a.m. If anybody saw this car parked there it is very important to call the Noord Police Precinct. Dompig still regrets that the Judge of Instruction ordered the release of the trio. The Investigating Team looks at the case from a different angle and there was enough evidence to keep them incarcerated for certain violations. The Judge of Instruction made a decision and we have to live with that, but that does not mean that the case is closed. The Kalpoe brothers and Joran van der Sloot continue to be the main focus of the Investigating Team. It is not possible to say how long the case will continue. As long as there are questions without an answer the case cannot be closed, according to Commissioner Dompig.
