(Aruba) Interesting update in the Natalee Holloway case: During a hidden-camera interview, Joran Van der Sloot (a prime suspect in the case) was recorded saying that (Natalee Holloway) the missing teenager was dead and that he had a friend dump her body at sea. The courts in Aruba will likely accept the video tape confession as evidence because it was recorded by a private citizen without any influence by authorities. Natalie Holloway has been missing since May 2005 while on a graduation trip to Aruba.
