ORANJESTAD, Aruba (CNN) -- Police charged two security guards detained Sunday with crimes related to the disappearance of an 18-year-old Alabama student on Aruba.

Aruba chief prosecutor Karen Janssen declined Sunday afternoon to specify the charges related to the Natalee Holloway missing person case.

Authorities will hold the men for at least two days, Janssen said.

The case of the missing student in Aruba has been getting alot of international press. A sizeable reward has been offered and hotel staff at the hotel she was staying were given half a day off to help with search efforts.

This case may really hurt the tourist industry in Aruba, particularly because it is a white American female tourist that has gone missing and feared murdered. It is sad what has happended to this young lady, but I think the American media is overdoing it.

I'm not sure it will hurt them. We have several missing white people here with international coverage and our rising crime yet our tourist arrival is still increasing. Bwoy...imagine how much better things would be if we could curtail this crime thing!

Funny I don't hear anything about missing Caribbean students in the US. Never see any multi-million dollar search for them....

The latest on this is that they've arrested 3 Aruban teens for the crime (http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/06/11/missing.teen/). I think this is the 3rd batch of men arrested, so they're probably gettng close to the real culprits. I have a feeling that the reason for the extensive search for her or her body is to finally conclude what has happened to her. This is happening in the shadow of the "runaway bride" incident in the US.
