involvement in Natalee Holloway case

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - Dutch police have
detained a man on suspicion of participating in the
kidnapping and killing of Natalee Holloway last year in
Aruba, the suspect's lawyer said Sunday.
Gerard Sponge said his client, whose name was not
disclosed, was suspected of "assisting in the murder"
of the Alabama high school senior.
The charge is the most severe "in our criminal code,"
Sponge said on the Netherlands national television
broadcaster, NOS.
Holloway was 18 when she went missing in May 2005
during a graduation trip to the Dutch Caribbean island
of Aruba with classmates.
She was last seen leaving a bar with three young men
on May 30.
Dutch marines, the Aruban Coast Guard, the FBI and
hundreds of volunteers have all searched the island
and coastal areas of Aruba for Holloway, to no avail.
The suspect was arrested Wednesday and is being
questioned in the city of Utrecht, Sponge said.
The suspect has not been formally charged.
The questioning was to continue Monday, he said.
Sponge said he planned to file a suit Monday to
prevent his client from being extradited to Aruba.
Karin Janise, a prosecutor in Aruba's public
prosecutor's office, declined to comment on the arrest.
Authorities have previously arrested eight people
in connection with Hallway's disappearance and
then released them for lack of evidence.
Sponge said the suspect is a friend of
Jordan van der Slot - the last person known to have
seen Holloway alive. Van der Slot says he left
Holloway alone on a beach after the pair kissed.
The suspect was questioned three times in Aruba
shortly after Hallway's disappearance and twice
later by Dutch authorities, Sponge said.
Utrecht police spokeswoman Danielle Freedman
said Dutch officials will not comment on the
investigation, which is being carried out under the
authority of Arabian prosecutors.
Hallway's parents are attempting to sue
Van der Slot, 18, in a New York court. Their suit
alleges he imprisoned and sexually assaulted Holloway,
and caused her disappearance.

Another trial and error or is this the final card in the
muddy deck?
