SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - The family of missing American
teenager Natalee Holloway today blamed mistakes by Aruban
investigators for bringing the case to a dead end after more than
two years of searching.
The girl's stepfather, Jug Twitty, said he believes witnesses in
the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba know what happened but are not
coming forward. He criticized prosecutors' decision on Tuesday to
drop the case against the only known suspects.
Authorities said they will not charge the three young men who
were seen leaving a bar with Holloway on May 30th, 2005. That is
the night she vanished during a trip with members of her Mountain
Brook high school graduating class.
Holloway attended junior high in Clinton, Mississippi, and her
father still lives in Meridian.
