Aruba Police Find Man Who Claims to Be Witness in Missing U.S. Teen Case

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) - A man who claimed he saw a suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway driving with two friends the night she vanished appeared in court Monday to give sworn testimony, days after police said he may have fled the country.

The witness had been summoned to appear in court last week, but authorities were unable to locate him and said he might have left the Dutch Caribbean island.

Police found the man and brought him to court, police spokesman Edwin Comenencia said, declining to say where or when they located him.

The man, whose name has not been disclosed, told police last month that he saw Joran van der Sloot, an 18-year-old Dutch high school student who has been detained in the case, and two Surinamese brothers driving near the Marriott Hotel around 2:30 a.m. on May 30.

<snip>

I hope your life has been enriched in some small way. :-)

For the record: I hope Natalee is alive. I wish her family the best. I wish ALL missing kids of ALL ethnicities would get the same media treatment. I am leaving the original comment above because of the need for "intellectual honesty". Otherwise, I'd delete it. And all of the preceding words are 100% sincere, believe it or not.

8. Wrong. That isn't out of the question.
There IS a sex ring operating down there, in which women are abducted or just conned into participating, and there's the possibility of snuff films, etc.

I don't know how likely it was, but it's not IMPOSSIBLE -- and this according to a pornographer I saw interviewed a week or so ago, quite probably on Dan Abrams' show.

13. I'm sure THAT video would be out there on the net.
They're sayin anything they can to keep this story alive (Christ, Greta VanSusteren is relying that this will go on forever). And it keeps those geniuses who pay rapt attention to it from focusing on whats really goin on in this country

7. I care what happened to her, and that the perps come to justice
I also care that more women of color and children of all ages that disappear get much more coverage, because ANY mother and father would want as much press coverage about their child's disappearance as possible, and yes, it's a shame that it's the pretty one who gets it ALL.

But I cannot stand the resentment I see on this board of the pretty one who was lucky (or unlucky enough, actually) to get the coverage that EVERY missing child should have. Natalee isn't the one to blame here.

Please, make absolutely SURE that your criticism goes to the media, and DOES NOT get heaped unnecessarily on Natalee.

10. I agree 100% with you.
My subject line was to, hopefully in a humorous way, alert folks that this is not Cindy news. Her family is extremely fortunate. If the media did a segment daily for ALL missing kids, maybe some of them would live.

9. This is How Much Pricks Care
"I hope your life has been enriched in some small way." Yes, I learned just what a hateful prick you are.

12. Ouch. That was uncalled for.
Trust me, compared to other comments I've seen here, that was NOTHING. Go read one of my other posts here for my REAL feelings. Be grateful that AT LEAST I gave you the news. If I was really a hateful prick, I would have spat on my computer monitor and NEVER gave you the news. Go chill out please.
