Natalee Holloway was last seen on May 30, the last day of a trip to celebrate her graduation from high school.

Five men have been detained in the matter, but not charged. Prosecutors have said little about where the case stands now.

On Saturday, prosecutors refused to comment on a statement by the deputy police commissioner, who reportedly said one of three young men in police custody had told police Friday night that "something bad happened" to Holloway.

Referring to that statement, a prosecution spokeswoman said, "We neither confirm nor deny any information coming from other sources."

A statement from the office of Attorney General Caren Janssen late Saturday said, "Information given by non-official sources jeopardizes the ongoing investigation and creates expectations and situations that are not based on fact. "

The press secretary for the country's prime minister, appearing on NBC Sunday, blamed the media for spreading misinformation about the case.
