Live Blog Press Conference:
12:24 pm – 3 suspects detained, ages 17, 18 & 21. Their houses were also raided.

12:33 PM – Press conference in Aruban first and then lets hope English. Although I am not sure if laughter at such a press conference is a good thing, esh.

12:39 pm – tactical reasons why 3 people arrested had not been done sooner and houses searched

12:43 pm – (spokes person) Not closer to knowing what happened to Natalee. Many scenarios still open

12:45 pm – Natalee met the 17 year old in casino the day before.

English Press getting a little frustrated with their comments & questions as Authorities are not allowed to answer much about investigation.

12:48 – Suspicion had grown as to why they Aruba police decided to arrest the 3 males.

12:50 – Aruba is working across its borders (Internationally) with South America in the investigation.

12:54 – Not all suspects arrested were 18 years old, Press asks why they were in Carlos And Charlie’s (good question) JACOB MUST BE LOVING THIS

Press asking whether the bar may be in trouble for having minors there?

PRESS CONFERENCE OVER – wow, total disarray. Looks like the Aruban spokesperson wanted way from the US Press ASAP.

Previously from FOX News … “The three witnesses gave information about the two guys [already in custody] and that is why they were held. If one of those two has an alibi, then the story [given by the three witnesses] doesn’t fit and therefore the two may then be released depending on the proof.”

Police also impounded a gray Honda car. Holloway’s friends reported seeing her leave a nightclub in a silver car the night she disappeared.

This is going to get more and more contentious in the future. The American Press is used to controlling the press conferences and get any info they ask. Between the difference in cultures, Dutch laws and language barriers this is going to be interesting. The tone of the conference was pretty chaotic.
