Investigators in Aruba have released Geoffrey van Cromvoirt, 19, saying that the grounds to continue to hold him are no longer there, but he remains a suspect in the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway.

Cromvoirt was held for more than a week in connection with the Holloway case as well as on suspicion of drug activity. ABC News reported that Cromvoirt was arrested after police received a tip from an Aruban cab driver.

The cab driver told police that he gave Natalee and her friends a ride one night and overheard an intoxicated Holloway talk about being in love with a "Dutch boy."

ABC also reported that Cromvoirt did not answer any questions while he was detained. Other sources are reporting that someone with the initials "E.B." was questioned for six hours Saturday in the case.

Lead Investigator's Son Questioned

Also questioned in the investigation was Michael Dompig, the son of deputy police chief Gerold Dompig, CBS news reported. Dompig said his son was questioned about rumors he heard in the case.

"Michael was merely one of the many people who were questioned as witnesses in this investigation and was never considered a suspect," Dompig told CBS.

In an interview with FOX News, the 19-year-old Dompig said he knew Cromvoirt was known to use alcohol to try to pick up foreign girls. He said he had never seen him use drugs, however.
