Police: Missing teen may have used drugs

? Aruban police are reportedly looking into the possibility that the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway could be linked to alcohol or drugs, according to a report Thursday by CBS.

Witnesses have come forward who say then-18-year-old Holloway had drugs in her possession and was drinking heavily on May 30, the day she disappeared, Gerald Dompig, deputy chief of police for Aruba, told CBS television’s “48 Hours Mystery” program, which released a partial transcript of the interview Thursday.

“We feel strongly that she probably went into shock or something happened to her system with all the alcohol – maybe on top of that, other drugs, which either she took or they gave her – and that she … just collapsed,” he said in the interview, scheduled for broadcast Saturday.

Dompig specified that witnesses did not see Holloway taking drugs, only that she had them in her possession.

“After 10 months of investigation, including hearing many witnesses, we have strong indications that Natalee has died,” Dompig told The Associated Press.
