ORANJESTAD, Aruba, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- No charges will be brought against the three young men suspected in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway, Aruban prosecutors said Tuesday.

Holloway, in Aruba on a trip with 100 classmates from Mountain Brook High School outside Birmingham, Ala., to celebrate graduation, was last seen leaving a nightclub in 2005 with the three suspects.

Hans Mos, the chief public prosecutor, announced that there is insufficient evidence to bring charges or take the case to trial, CNN reported.

A judge ordered the release recently of Joran van der Sloot and two brothers, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. All three were held in 2005, released and then re-arrested.

The judge, ruling on van der Sloot, said that investigators in recent work on the case, had found no new evidence that Holloway had died violently or that van der Sloot, a 20-year-old Dutch citizen, was involved in violence.
