4th Man Detained in Aruba Disappearance

By PETER PRENGAMAN
Associated Press Writer

   



ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) -- A party boat disc jockey was detained Friday on suspicion of being involved in the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, who vanished nearly three weeks ago while celebrating her high school graduation, authorities and his employer said.

Meanwhile, Holloway's mother said she believed there might be more arrests before the case was resolved. She did not elaborate.

Steve Gregory Croes, whom authorities earlier identified only by the initials S.G.C., said he was contacted by police Thursday night and went to the station voluntarily to give a statement, said his employer, Marcus Wiggins.

Croes was the fourth person detained in the May 30 disappearance of Holloway, 18. Croes also said he knew one of two Surinamese brothers being detained in the case because they went to the same Internet cafe, Wiggins told The Associated Press.

Croes was a DJ on the Tattoo, which offers nightly dining, dancing and swimming, Wiggins said.

"I've never had problems with him," Wiggins told the AP. "He keeps to himself and shows up to work every day and does his job."

Wiggins also said he had not seen the other three young men detained in the case on the boat.

Authorities previously detained 17-year-old Joran van der Sloot, the son of a Dutch justice official on Aruba, and his two friends, Surinamese brothers Deepak Kalpoe, 21, and Satish Kalpoe, 18.

Missing Teen



Holloway disappeared in the early morning hours of May 30 on Aruba, a Dutch protectorate in the Caribbean. The three men previously in custody said they took Holloway, 18, to a northern beach but dropped her off at her hotel, where she was approached by a security guard.

Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, said she believed there might be more arrests before the case was resolved. She did not elaborate.

"This is just the beginning," she told Associated Press Television News.

Looking tired and angry, Holloway Twitty said she was increasingly unhappy with the lack of progress.

"I want my daughter and I want her now," she said. "It's not that hard to figure out. ... I'm very frustrated. We are in day 18 with no answers."

Holloway Twitty added that she would "believe my daughter is alive until I find out otherwise."

Also Friday, prosecutors asked a judge to rule there was sufficient cause to continue holding van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers. The three were detained June 9. Under the law, a judge must review their case after 10 days, meaning a decision is due by Sunday.

No one has been charged with a crime in the case.

The court also was considering a petition by van der Sloot's father, Paul, to visit his son in jail and a request by the son's attorneys to see any evidence against him. Paul van der Sloot is a judge-in-training, serving a three-year term on the bench that allows him to hear a limited number of cases.

On Thursday, prosecutors filed a motion to stop Joran van der Sloot's lawyer, Antonio Carlo, from seeing him, said Mariaine Croes, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Caren Janssen.

Authorities claim their investigation could be damaged because Carlo spoke with one of two former security guards who were detained in the case and then released, Mariaine Croes said Friday.

It was unclear whether Steve Gregory Croes was related to Mariaine Croes.

Holloway disappeared the day she was to return from a five-day trip with 124 other students celebrating their graduation from high school in Mountain Brook, Ala.

Searches by authorities, volunteer islanders and tourists have come up empty. Authorities refused to say whether they believed Holloway was dead.

On Thursday, however, Police Superintendent Jan van der Straaten told the AP that authorities used a helicopter "to search for possible remains - but found nothing." He declined to say where the search was conducted.

On Wednesday, authorities searched the van der Sloots' one-story, yellow-beige home, where Joran lived in an attached apartment. Agents were seen carrying away two white garbage bags filled with items, while authorities towed a blue sport utility vehicle and a red Jeep from the property in Noord, outside the capital, Oranjestad.

After the approximately four-hour search, Janssen said Paul van der Sloot was not under investigation.

Asked why it took more than two weeks after Holloway's disappearance to search the home, Janssen said Thursday, "You have to build up an investigation. You can't just go in there like a cowboy."

The Kalpoe brothers have told police that they and Joran were with Holloway the night she disappeared and that she and the Dutch youth were kissing in the back seat of their car. The detainees initially said they took Holloway to a northern beach and then dropped her off at her Holiday Inn.

But Antonius "Mickey" John, a former hotel security guard released from custody Sunday, said to reporters that Deepak Kalpoe told him during a chat in jail that he and his brother actually dropped the young van der Sloot and Holloway off together near the Marriott hotel, about 10 blocks north of the Holiday Inn. John said he told police about the conversation.

FBI agents and officers from the Miami-Dade police department used German Shepherds to search the area Tuesday.

I missed this too.  Anyone have a link for the shirt and foam with teeth marks they found?

[CaliGirl]

In this link that was sent about 10 pages back... http://www.geocities.com/proud_college_republican/

If you take time to go past the snap shots of the the blogs of everyone involved etc.. you will see the front page news for the islands with pictures and information about what was found during the search. I can not believe we did not see this sooner!

It says there was foam with teeth imprints found with the yellow duct tapes and security shirt also some glasses. A better inspection of the underwear (I think everyone has said they weren't Natalee's) I see them to be not granny panties as I thought, but those news panties that are like small shorts? Not sure what they are called but they are lacy like and sold by places like Victorias secret. Maybe they were planted but all these items taken as a whole, with the new information have me seriously wondering!

[wwizard]

is there room to suppose that these addtional suspects mite b the people that took NH 2 the mainland??

[Rob]

[joebob]

I'm not sure what the status of Croes is.

On one hand I've heard witness on the other I've heard suspect. A search of his residence imples suspect.

[AzRose]

Thanks, CaliGirl
Hope everything is quiet there today

Wow I can't believe it either...I was there earlier this week; didn't realize it was a site that was always updated.

Now what the heck could "un-named suspicious material in a spray bottle" be???

Possibly, until we know some more details there is room to suppose anything. I think this guy (croes) went forward on his own though, and I don't think he had anything to do with the actual disappearence.
