SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - Investigators in Aruba are pursuing
new evidence in the 2005 disappearance of American teenager Natalee
Holloway.
The Prosecutors' Office says a new witness claims the only
suspect in the case confessed to her that he was involved in
dumping Holloway's body at sea.
But prosecutor Hans Mos said Tuesday that more evidence is
needed to build a case against Dutch college student Joran van der
Sloot.
Investigators reopened the case earlier this year based on
similar admissions caught in hidden-camera recordings by a Dutch TV
crime show.
The 18-year-old from Mountain Brook, Alabama, was last seen in
May 2005 leaving a bar with Van der Sloot on the final night of a
high school graduation trip to the Dutch Caribbean island.
