Mom: Prosecutors want to interview classmates
Oranjestad, Aruba ? Natalee Holloway’s mother said Saturday that prosecutors in Aruba want to interview her daughter’s former classmates in Alabama about the teenager’s disappearance.
Beth Holloway Twitty repeated her charge that Aruban officials ignored leads and botched the case.
“The reason they want to ask follow-up questions to those students from Mountain Brook is because of the holes in their original line of questioning and because of questions they forgot to ask the first time,” she told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Philadelphia.
On Friday, Aruban prosecutors said in a statement they would conduct a new round of interviews in their investigation of Holloway’s May 30 disappearance.
The statement said there are people living in the United States who have to be interviewed again. They said several aspects need more attention.
“You have to have an open mind and investigate all leads, that would be the professional thing to do,” Aruba’s chief prosecutor, Karin Janssen, told the AP.
Twitty has been a harsh critic of the investigation. During a visit to the Dutch Caribbean island last week, she called for the resignation of several top law enforcement officials.
