Natalee Holloway Case Reopened

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) - Aruban prosecutors have reopened their
investigation into the disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee
Holloway after seeing secretly taped material from a Dutch
journalist.
Prosecutors made no reference to the possibility of an arrest
and said they would not comment further so as not to jeopardize the
investigation.
Dutch reporter Peter de Vries has promised to broadcast on
Sunday a secretly taped "confession" by one of the suspects in
Holloway's May 2005 disappearance. He has not made clear what the
"confession" consists of. In the transcript, De Vries refers to a
"confession" he obtained from suspect Joran van der Sloot, but
doesn't say what he allegedly admitted to.
Holloway, who was 18, was last seen in public leaving a bar with
Van der Sloot and two Surinamese brothers - Deepak and Satish
Kalpoe - hours before she was due to board a flight home from a
school trip to Aruba.
The three were re-arrested in November, but were released for
lack of evidence. Prosecutors then dismissed their case against
them.
