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.
