Prosecutors on Monday released two former hotel security guards who were the first men detained in the disappearance of an Alabama honors student, the day after the girl’s missing mother said they were innocent. Three young men who took 18-year-old Natalee Holloway to a beach early in the morning hours before she went missing on May 30 remain in custody. “I’m very happy but also disappointed,” Antonius “Mickey” John told The Associated Press by telephone of his detention since June 5. “I knew from day one that I was innocent.” He spoke from the home of his lawyer, Noraina Pietersz, who said the release of John, 30, and Abraham Jones, 28, came before a judge reviewed a motion for release filed Monday
NOT GUILTY?
Michael Jackson acquitted on all counts of child molestation. As the AP reports, “vindicating the pop star who insisted he was the victim of mother-and-son con artists and a prosecutor with a vendetta”.
Because its completely normal to have little boys admittedly sleep in your bed.
Does it really seem appropriate to cheer a man or whatever who admits to sleeping with boys?
A number of Jackson’s family members accompanied him to the courthouse to hear the verdict and flanked him as he exited the courthouse as fans cheered.
Kevin at Wizbang, I was with you on the alcohol charge and even that was not guilty?
Another Rovian Conspiracy I could not have said it better myself I just could do it. You are correct on every count. A must read.
Michelle Malkin has the “releasing of the doves” and a prayer that LA will not burn. One would almost think it was sarcastic. I think it is.
Stories Changing Yet Again
But our correspondent from Aruba thinks that it is not true. The newstory is that the brothers dropped of Johan at home and then left with Natalee. Or Natalee and Johan were dropped off by the brothers.
Aruba Girl sent us a note that says.
It would be stupid to drop J first off at his home and then go back to drop off Natalee if you’re coming from the lighthouse.
Local and international press went to a search site with NH’s family, no news on the results. They don’t want to give up the location of the site in order to avoid a crowd forming there.
ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Cracks have emerged in the stories of three young suspects in the case of an American teen who went missing in Aruba two weeks ago, FOX News has learned.
The three young men have reportedly changed their stories since being moved to separate jail cells, Chris Lejuez, the lawyer for one of two security guards who were taken into custody June 5, told FOX News.
One of the trio detained since June 9, the Dutch son of a judicial official, is now saying that his two Surinamese friends — who are brothers — dropped him off at his house after he exchanged e-mail addresses with Natalee Holloway (search) and said goodnight, Lejuez said.
The brothers have also changed their story, now saying they left their friend with Holloway at the beach that night, FOX has learned.
The Dutch teenager, 17-year-old Joran Van Der Sloot (search), and the Surinamese brothers, 18-year-old Satish Kalpoe (search) and 21-year-old Deepak Kalpoe (search), originally told police they brought Holloway to a lighthouse beside the island’s Arisha Beach, but didn’t get out of the car.
The Kalpoe brothers also told police that Holloway and Van Der Sloot were kissing passionately in the back seat of the car. They said they dropped her off at her hotel about 2 a.m. and last saw her being approached by a man in a security guard uniform before they drove off, a lawyer for the brothers has said.
This whole thing is starting to hit the level of a bad soap opera. General Hospital goes to Aruba.
Security Guards Attorney Files for Release
Lawyers for two security guards detained in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway said Monday they were seeking a court order to free them, and the mother of the missing Alabama teenager said she believed they were in
Beth Holloway Twitty said she felt three other young men in custody know what happened to her daughter, adding that if she did not see results soon, she might start to believe authorities were trying to protect the three, one of whom is the son of a government official.
“All three of those boys know what happened to her,” Holloway Twitty said Sunday night in an interview with The Associated Press in her room at the Holiday Inn, the same hotel where her 18-year-old daughter was staying before she disappeared May 30. “They all know what they did with her that night.”
Holloway Twitty declined to say what she thought the young men had done or whether she thought her daughter was still alive.
A spokesman for Aruba’s government, Ruben Trapenberg, told NBC’s “Today” show Monday that officials could not pressure investigators. “I’m sure they’re doing what they can to solve this case. That’s what we have been assured,” he said.
The teen vanished hours before she was expected at the airport following a five-day trip to the Dutch Caribbean island with 124 classmates and seven chaperones celebrating their graduation from Mountain Brook High School, near Birmingham, Ala. Her U.S. passport and packed bags were found in her hotel roomnocent.
It looks like the Guards may get their release. I have heard from a source on the island that the judge in this matter says he most likely will not be able to get to the matter until Wednesday.
Also from The KCRA Channel, “Mother Says Security Guards are Innocent”
Lawyers are filing motions Monday demanding a court free two security guards whose innocence was declared by the mother of a missing Alabama teenager.
“The prosecution is pretending it has information we don’t have,” said one of the lawyers.
The mother of the missing 18-year-old Alabama girl says she’s seen the former guards and thinks “they are being wrongly held.”
Also Monday, the family said Natalee Holloway’s stepfather plans to organize a new search for the teen who disappeared May 30.
In an interview with the “Today Show” on Monday, Beth Holloway Twitty, mother of the missing girl, said that she is frustrated with the apparent lack of progress in determining the fate of her daughter.
“Well, I don’t know if I can say I’m frustrated with the Aruban government,” said Holloway Twitty. “I think I am frustrated as a mother, as any individual would (be), that I still do not have my daughter, that I still do not feel like I am any further along in finding my daughter than I was on May 30 when my flight landed here. So, I think that is my frustration.”
Holloway Twitty said that a nagging thought in the back of her mind said the Aruban government is protecting the three students. As she put it, it’s up to the Aruban authorities to assure her “that will not be an issue.”
Holloway Twitty said she appreciates all that Aruban authorities have done but added that she won’t be satisfied until they give her back her daughter. She said, “I want her and I want her now.”
Natalee Holloway; June 13 2005
Dutch newswire this morning (CET) reports that the dutch government sent two ‘experts’ to Aruba. The JD refused to elaborate on the field of expertise. Police chief Jan van der Straten: ”I cannot tell you more, because then it is obvious in which way the investigation is going”. According to Van der Straaten they will do very detailed work and didn’t bring search and rescue dogs.
Thanks, Pays Bas and for the summary.

UPDATE: Geraldo just on Fox live saying that he got off the phone with the Justic Minister (Rudy Croes) and that Croes said there would a “resolution to the case momentarily.” Hat tip commentor DBTV
Today from the Birmingham News, “Natalee’s Mom remains faithful, but ready for the worst”.
The mother of Natalee Holloway, the Mountain Brook teen who has been missing here for two weeks, said Sunday that her trust in God allows her to be prepared for the worst.
Beth Twitty joined crowds of worshippers here who prayed for a resolution to her daughter’s case.
The Aruban prime minister asked churches across the island to dedicate their weekend services to Holloway.
Flanked by a handful of close friends, Twitty visited the historic Alto Vista chapel perched on a hill above a deserted seascape. Inside the tiny church, she lit a candle for her daughter, then knelt to pray.
“I have complete trust and faith in God, that he is taking care of Natalee,” she said. “I believe that he will deliver Natalee to me, and I believe there will be a resolution to this.”
