Dutch TV to air new story in Holloway case
AMSTERDAM — A Dutch television station is airing an interview with the man once suspected of involvement in the disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway, in which he again claims to have disposed of her body.
Joran van der Sloot’s latest confession to be broadcast by RTL Nieuws Friday doesn’t fit with known facts about the Holloway case. Van der Sloot, 22, was last seen with Holloway before her disappearance while on vacation in Aruba in 2005.
He claims in the paid interview that Holloway accidentally fell from a balcony and he disposed of her body in a swamp.
He previously told an undercover reporter that she died unexpectedly while they were kissing and he dumped her body in the ocean.
Aruban prosecutors say they lack evidence to charge Van der Sloot.
