AMSTERDAM — Antillean and Aruban Coast Gard vessels are using sonar equipment in the latest bid to find out what happened to US teenager Natalee Holloway.

The Public Prosecutor's Office (OM) confirmed on late on Wednesday that the vessels have been searching the sea around Aruba for four days.

Holloway, 18, disappeared in May 2005 while holidaying with classmates on the autonomous Dutch island in the Caribbean to celebrate graduation.

Three young men were the last people seen with Holloway on the night she vanished. The three were arrested and held in custody for weeks before being released for lack of evidence. The three - including Dutch teenager Joran van der Sloot - deny harming Holloway.

Aruban police arrested another Dutch person, Geoffrey van Cromvoirt, on Saturday after the case was featured on crimestoppers programme 'Opsporing Verzocht' in Aruba and in the Netherlands.

The OM said van Cromvoirt, 19, is being held as a suspect not a witness, but Van der Sloot remains the main suspect.
