ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Three young men previously detained as suspects in the 2005 disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway have been re-arrested in the case, the Aruban public prosecutor's office said Wednesday.

Holloway disappeared on May 30, 2005, hours before she was scheduled to fly home to Alabama after a high school graduation trip to this Dutch Caribbean resort island. The 18-year-old was last seen in public leaving a bar with the three young men who now are again suspects in her disappearance.


News is announcing that they expect to bring these men to trial by the end of 2007.

Natalee Holloway was a graduating honors student at Mountain Brook high school in Birmingham, Alabama who was participating in a senior trip with classmates on the Caribbean island of Aruba when she disappeared. She was last seen Monday, May 30, 2005 at approximately 1:30am leaving Carlos "n" Charlie's nightclub in the town of Oranjestad.
