Steve Croes

From FOX:

ORANJESTAD, Aruba — A fourth suspect in the disappearance of American tourist Natalee Holloway appeared in court Monday as an Aruban judge was deciding whether there is enough probable cause to hold him for eight more days.

Steve Croes, 26, who works as a disc jockey on a tourist party boat in Aruba called "The Tatoo," was brought to the Aruba court at 9:10 EDT Monday morning. Although authorities are not specifying exactly why Croes has been in police custody since Friday, it's known that the fourth suspect is in fact friends with the three other young men being held as suspects in the case of the missing Alabama teenager.

Croes was arrested Friday after giving police a statement, said Marcus Wiggins, his boss on the boat Tattoo.

Under Dutch law, which Aruba follows as a Dutch protectorate, authorities can detain people for up to 116 days without charging them.

From AP:

ORANJESTAD, Aruba -- A disc jockey on a party boat who has been detained in the disappearance of an Alabama teenager appeared on Monday before a judge who was to decide whether there was sufficient cause to continue holding him.

Attorney General Caren Janssen would not comment on how the judge ruled after the half-hour hearing with the detainee, whom his employer has identified as 26-year-old Steve Gregory Croes.

Croes pulled the white T-shirt he was wearing up over his head to cover his face as he was led into the court in handcuffs. He was later whisked away in a police car.

Croes was taken into custody early Friday, a day after giving police a statement in connection with the disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, who vanished May 30 while celebrating her high school graduation with other students from Alabama.

Croes said he knew one of two Surinamese brothers also being held in the case because they went to the same Internet cafe, his employer, Marcus Wiggins, has said.

It was not known what other connection he may have had to either the brothers or a fourth young man in detention, the son of a justice official in Aruba. Nobody has been charged in the case.

Still, no charges have been filed. After weeks of questioning and detaining and releasing and detaining and questioning again, they have nothing.

Attorney General Caren Janssen won't even comment on how the judge ruled in Croes' hearing. Aruban authorities have been remarkably tight-lipped about Natalee Holloway's case.

I would be interested to know the interrogation methods of Aruban officials. Whatever they are, THEY AREN'T WORKING.

Unlike the Runaway Bride, authorities did not provide Croes with a blanket to cover his face. He had to use the t-shirt method. Why bother?

If he's innocent of all wrongdoing, why be afraid to show his face?
