New Information in Holloway Case

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - Hidden camera footage broadcast in
the Netherlands today (Sunday) shows Dutch student Joran Van der
Sloot saying he was with Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway when she
collapsed on a beach in Aruba.
He says he believed she was dead and asked a friend to dump her
body in the sea, saying, quote: "She'll never be found."
A series of conversations between Van der Sloot and a man he
believed to be his friend were recorded in a Range Rover that had
been rigged with three hidden cameras by Peter R. de Vries, a Dutch
TV crime reporter. They were shown on Dutch television.
Last week, Van der Sloot said he was lying in those
conversations and denied that he had anything to do with the
Alabama teenager's disappearance.
The 18-year-old Holloway vanished in May 2005 just before she
was due to fly home to Mountain Brook, Alabama, at the end of her
high school graduation trip to the Caribbean island.
No trace of her has been found.
In the recordings, Van der Sloot said Holloway was drunk and
that she began shaking and slumped down on the beach as the pair
were making out.
