Missing Alabama girl's mother makes plea

The mother of a missing Alabama teenager has asked police in Aruba to ban two suspects from leaving the island until her daughter is found. Beth Holloway Twitty made the plea after a judge ordered 21-year-old Deepak Kalpoe and his 18-year-old brother, Satish, released from jail Monday based on lack of evidence. The woman told reporters she is convinced the brothers "were involved in a violent crime against my daughter," and asked why they could be allowed "to walk freely among the tourists and citizens of Aruba." Natalee Holloway, 18, was last seen May 30 leaving a hotel nightclub with the brothers and 17-year-old Joran Van Der Sloot. He remains in custody, but has not been charged, CNN said. Prosecutors have said that Van Der Sloot and the Kalpoes made statements "that are not sustained by other investigative results and/or witness statements." Meanwhile, three Dutch F-16 jets equipped with lasers and special cameras were scheduled to sweep the island Wednesday for signs of the woman. © Copyright 2005 by United Press International
