June 9, 2005 police arrested Joran Van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers, his friends. All three men were arrested on the suspicion of kidnapping and murder. Natalee’s parents grew hopeful, an arrest had been made. Police quickly obtained a search warrant for Joran’s house but again, they found nothing. Yet another dead end.
