New Witnesses Making News

ORANJESTAD, Aruba Natalee Holloway's stepfather said Tuesday that two new witnesses have come forward with information about the night nearly two months ago that the Alabama teenager disappeared on this Dutch Caribbean island.

One witness told investigators that he saw Joran van der Sloot, a 17-year-old Dutch youth who has been detained as the main suspect, driving to a nightclub across the road from the Marriott Hotel around 2:30 a.m. on May 30, when Holloway disappeared, said George Twitty.

According to Twitty, the witness said van der Sloot tried to hide his face with his hands as he drove to the Racquet Club with two Surinamese brothers, Satish and Deepak Kalpoe. The brothers were detained as suspects and later released.

the racquet club is a nightclub?

I noticed that faux pas as well. racquet club or nightclub? From the videos they have shown of the dirt road to the racquet club, that did not appear to me that one could confuse it with a nightclub. Maybe it was sloppy reporting?

So so much disinformation in this case; I do think the noose is tightening and closing in on the trio; S and D are headed back into custody soon, IF this info has any shred of credibility.
