The three teens connected with the disappearance of teen Natalie Holloway are back in custody today, after protesters uncovered what their calling new incriminating evidence.

Joran Van der Sloot and brothers Satish and Deepak Kalpoe were first arrested in 2005, seen leaving a bar with Holloway shortly before she disappeared.

Holloway had been on a high school graduation trip when she met the boys, a trip from which she never returned. They were allegedly the last to see the 18 year old, whose body has still not been found.

The suspects swore no involvement or wrong doing at the time, saying they dropped Holloway off at her hotel and never saw her again and a judge released them citing insufficient evidence.

Now Van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers are back in the case, arrested on suspicion of involvement in manslaughter and causing bodily harm to the Alabama teen.

The brothers were arrested in Aruba and Van der Sloot in the Netherlands, where he now attends college. A spokesman for the Dutch national prosecutor’s office says he will be sent to the Caribbean island in several days.

Further investigation into the case, reports the Associated Press, which included searches of the suspects homes, has uncovered incriminating evidence according to Aruba police, but they will not at this time say what that evidence is.

“I’m as excited as the Holloway family can be,” Vnda de Sousa, a Holloway family lawyer told the AP. “Anything new in this case, or any development, just gives you rekindled hope that this will be solved.”

Vinda de Sousa also said "I knew the investigation never stopped". And that's exactly true. I am from the island of Aruba and i take pride in quoting that.
The Natalee Holloway case has made a big impact on us in every sense of the word.
I just hope this case gets solved already so that everyone could be at easy and go on with their lives.
