The Main Suspect
While police searched the island for any sign of Natalee, Joran van der Sloot became the main suspect in the case after witnesses had reported the two had been seen together. Police questioned van der Sloot and his two friends about Natalee, if they knew where she was, as well as what had happened during the night they were said to be together. All 3 boys said that they had dropped Natalee off at her hotel and that was the last they saw of her.
