The last day of January 2008 and the news reports today, that a Dutch, crime investigative, reporter feels he has new information that helps to solve the mystery of what happened to Natalee Halloway back in May of 2005. She was a young woman away with her school on a spring break vacation when she disappeared under questionable circumstances; many believing her dead all this time.
Prosecuters in Aruba, a Dutch caribbean island are investigating this new information. It has been said that the new information may help to explain how Natalee died; and, how her body became missing.
I think everyone has pretty much accepted that she is no longer alive…however, the need to know what happened can only be a balm to her family and friends after all of this time.
There have been suspects picked up and held for questioning over and over again;they denied involvement. There did not appear to be enough evidence to convict them previously… and one has to wonder, whether that will soon change. *** See previous post Dec 18, 2007
Write where you are 
Just thought i would post an update….the reporter says that he will air the full report on sunday…however, reports are leaking that the main suspect, Van Der Sloot, is now saying that yes, people will see him confessing on hidden tape.
Guess what?…he says…he was lying. Hmmmm…which time i wonder. I think he has gotten caught in his own web of lies…and now he is trying to back pedal from the sounds of it. He says he lied to the other person on tape because that is what the other person wanted to hear.
No matter what happens…he is one of the last people to have seen Natalee alive and if he “lied” to this person and it got caught on tape…it could very well be enough to convict him in an Aruban court.
Van Der Sloot said that he didn’t trust the person that he “confessed” to but it was what he wanted to hear. He said that Natalee died after having sex with him and then him and a friend dumped her body at sea. Then he repeated a few times …”It is so stupid”. He is right about that.
What a waste of young life on all accounts!
