Joran van der Sloot- the main suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway - has disappeared amid new allegations about her case and alleged human trafficking.
In a hidden camera investigation, a Dutch television crew caught van der Sloot on tape, allegedly trying to sell women from Thailand into Dutch prostitution rings. Van der Sloot allegedly pockets about $13,000 per girl.
The 2-hour special aired Sunday in the Netherlands.
According to Natalee's father Dave Holloway, it further implicates both Joran van der Sloot and his father Paul, a powerful Dutch attorney, who was questioned by police several times concerning Natalee's disappearance.
In the expose, Dutch crime reporter Peter de Vries interviews van der Sloot's ex girlfriend Celeste.
"The girlfriend speaks out and states that she feels like ...Joran's father played a larger role. Joran admitted to this girl that there's only one other person who knows exactly what happened {to Natalee} and obviously you realize he's insinuating that that's his father," explains Dave Holloway.
Holloway says during the expose, Celeste shares conversations and instant messages from van der Sloot.
During the program, Celeste says van der Sloot told her his dad coached him extensively about what to say to police concerning Natalee.
Celeste goes on to recount a conversation where van der Sloot told her he knew how to dispose of dead bodies so they'd never be found.
Dave Holloway says he believes Celeste is telling the truth, but he doesn't believe it will be enough to charge or convict van der Sloot of Natalee's death.
"As far as Aruba's concerned, I doubt very seriously if they are going to do anything. It seems like every time you try to give them some information it's discounted by the judges who are over this case," says Holloway.
So more than three years after his daughter vanished, Holloway is still left with unanswered questions and a myriad of emotions.
"A lot of frustration. A lot of hurt and pain and a you still can't get any justice or learn where Natalee is and that's the hard part," says Holloway.
Thailand officials are now investigating van der Sloot's alleged attempts to sell Thai women into prostitution. Van der Sloot left Thailand Friday after learning about the expose and hasn't been seen since.
