PAUL VAN DER SLOOT QUESTIONED


Natalee Holloway, 18, stands with her father Dave Holloway on her graduation day from Mountain Brook High School in Mountain Brook, Alabama, Tuesday, May 24, 2005.

From AP:

ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Police in Aruba have questioned the father of a Dutch teenager who's been detained in connection with the Natalee Holloway case.

They say they're hoping the man may have seen something to help them find out what happened to the 18-year-old from Alabama, missing since the end of May.

Paul van der Sloot, the man who was questioned last night, is in training to be a judge. The island's police superintendent says van der Sloot was "questioned as a witness."

He's the father of a 17-year-old who's one of the last people seen with Holloway on the night she disappeared.

Three other men are also in custody, but no one has been charged.

Yesterday, a judge ordered the Dutch teen and his two friends to stay in jail for at least another week, as investigators continue to look for clues.

The fourth man who's been detained will appear before a judge tomorrow.

Either the Aruban authorities are the most incompetent, incapable interrogators and investigators or people on Aruba are the world's best liars.

How much longer will it take them to get to the truth and find Natalee Holloway?

My heart goes out to her family. Not only are they dealing with the horror of Natalee's disappearance; they have to put up with bungling, ineffectual Aruban officials.
