ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) - Aruban prosecutors said today that
authorities are investigating new evidence in the disappearance of
Alabama teen Natalee Holloway provided by a Dutch crime reporter.
Prosecutors said in a statement, information from reporter Peter
de Vries may help resolve what happened to the Mountain Brook
native, who vanished during a May 2005 school vacation to the Dutch
Caribbean island.
The statement did not say specifically what the new evidence
was.
De Vries had a testy exchange earlier this month during a
televised interview in the Netherlands with Joran van der Sloot, a
Dutch man who was a suspect in the case.
Van der Sloot, who was among the last people seen with Holloway,
threw wine at De Vries after the reporter challenged his
credibility.
Prosecutors dismissed their case against Van der Sloot and two
other suspects - Deepak and Satish Kalpoe - last month, saying they
lacked evidence to charge them or even prove a crime was committed.
Holloway disappeared the final night of her high school
graduation trip. She was 18 at the time.

I hope this reporter has found what authorities need to solve this case once and for all.

So what if she was partying? Kids do that, even good kids. Sometimes kids pay the ultimate price for doing so. But if the ultimate price involves murder, somebody needs to pay for that.

so what if she was partying….that doesn’t mean she deserved whatever happened to her just because she was out with friends having a good time like most other young ladies

it seems to me like it is a rollar coaster ride for the poor family of the missing girl. what in the world is aruba trying to prove. this lead will probably bomb out and then something else will pop up to punish people who only want to know what happened to their lovely little child. we cancelled a trip that included going to aruba. it isnt much but it is all we as a family can do.
