"It is now that I ask the world to help me. Two suspects were released yesterday who were involved in a violent crime against my daughter. These criminals are not only allowed to walk freely among the tourists and citizens of Aruba, but there are no limits to where they may travel. I am asking all mothers and fathers in all nations to hear my plea. I implore you, do not allow these two suspects - the Kalpoe brothers - to enter your country until this case is solved. Do not allow these criminals to walk amongst your citizens. Help me by not allowing these two to get away with this crime. It is my greatest fear today that the Kalpoe brothers will leave Aruba. I am asking the Aruban officials to notify the United States State Department in the event these suspects try to leave this island. I am asking all nations not to offer them a safe haven. I am asking this in the name of my beautiful, intelligent and outstanding daughter who I haven't seen for 36 days and for whom I will continue to search until I find her. Thank you all so much."

STORYLINE
The mother of a US teen who disappeared in Aruba more than a month ago issued a plea to the government on Tuesday to not allow two Surinamese brothers released from custody to leave the island, and she vowed herself to stay until the case is resolved.
"Two suspects were released yesterday who were involved in a violent crime against my daughter," Beth Holloway Twitty, mother of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, told a news conference, her voice cracking with emotion as she fought to hold back tears.
"The criminals will not only be allowed to walk freely among the tourists and citizens of Aruba but there are no limits as to where they may go," she said, adding, "I'm asking all nations not to offer them a safe haven."
A judge on Monday ordered the release of brothers Deepak Kalpoe, 21, and Satish Kalpoe, 18, saying there was not sufficient evidence to continue holding them in the case.
Holloway's mother said she believes the Surinamese brothers should still be in jail, adding that her "greatest fear" is that they will leave Aruba.
Still in custody is 17-year-old Joran van der Sloot, son of a top justice official in Aruba, who admitted to being with Holloway alone the night she disappeared.
The judge ordered that van der Sloot be held another 60 days.
Van der Sloot has insisted that he did not harm Holloway, and his lawyer said van der Sloot maintains his innocence.
The three young friends were arrested on June 9.
Holloway, from Mountain Brook, Alabama, went missing in the early hours of May 30, hours before she was to catch a flight home after a five-day vacation celebrating her high school graduation with 124 other students.
Numerous searches by Dutch marines, Aruban investigators and volunteer rescue groups have failed to turn up any trace of her.
The Kalpoe brothers have told police that they dropped van der Sloot and Holloway off together at a beach near the Marriott hotel, then went home.
