Van Der Sloot’s Yard Being Searched By Dutch Authorities

Breaking, as we get more information we will get it to you.

The Aruban prosecutors’ office said Dutch police who traveled to Aruba to investigate the disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway searched the yard of a one-time suspect on Friday.
Using thin metal rods and shovels, police and forensic
investigators churned up the earth outside the home of Joran van
der Sloot, the last person known to have seen Holloway alive before
she vanished in May 2005 during a school vacation on the Dutch
Caribbean island.
Vivian van der Biezen, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s
office, told reporters gathered outside the home that the
investigation has never stopped, and Dutch authorities are
reviewing the case for new clues.
She said roughly 20 investigators arrived from Holland on June
16th, but that she could not say why they were searching the
property. She did not know how long they planned to stay.
The prosecutors’ office said in a statement that, “the team has
indications that justify a more thorough search.” It did not
provide further details. via MyFox Birmingham
