Admitting To Staying Behind
It would seem that when van der Sloot’s friends told authorities that he stayed with Natalee, van der Sloot would admit to it too. But he added that he didn’t remain with her there, and that he had proceeded to walk home. And just when Natalee’s family thought that they would finally have something new to move on, the case came to almost a complete stop. There was no new evidence, no new witnesses, no new leads into where she could be. Plus authorities had no reason to keep any of the suspects, including van der Sloot, in jail, so they unfortunately had to let them all go.
