ORANJESTAD (AAN): Monday, the prosecutor decided to set the suspect Geoffrey van Cromvoirt free, and the American press was swarming the Beach police station like ants.

Surprisingly, the youngster with deken [blanket?] and pillow. Something that perhaps made many people think: has this youngster really found preferential treatment? Any detainee at the police station knows that they have to sleep on a cement bed. They do not have any deken [blanket?] and no pillow.

DIARIO took note that the American journalists themselves started to question this. A few lawyers explained to DIARIO, that normally, one cannot bring any sort of pillow for a detainee.

Until a detainee is transferred to the KIA prison, then they can obtain a pillow and deken [blanket?] to sleep with.

In the following press release, the Public Prosecutor gave an update in the case of the disappearance of N. Holloway.

According to the Public Prosecutor, the prosecutor in charge of the case set Geoffrey free Monday morning. The reason for this is the basis for the inverzekeringstelling, the phase of the detention that G.v.C. was in, is no longer there. He remains a suspect.

Last Saturday, the 22nd of April 2006, police detained a male by the initials of A.B. of 20 years of age, related to the disappearance of N. Holloway. After 6 hours of interrogation, the young A.B. was set free.

When the prosecutor and the team have more information they can give, they will do so.

In the meantime, attorney Joe Tacopina revealed to the American press that the van der Sloot family is thinking of bringing a civil case against those who are speaking negatively and saying ugly things about Joran. On MSNBC, attorney Tacopina admitted that they are thinking of suing Beth Twitty, the mother of the missing student.
