ORANJESTAD, Aruba (MSNBC) – Aruban prosecutors said Thursday that authorities are investigating new information in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway provided by a Dutch crime reporter.
A source close to the investigation told NBC that the information is a secretly recorded conversation between Joran van der Sloot, a Dutchman who was a suspect in the case, and a person previously unknown to investigators in Aruba.
In the conversation, Van der Sloot allegedly gives details about the disappearance.
The Aruba prosecutor’s office said that information from Dutch reporter Peter R. de Vries may help resolve what happened to the American, who vanished during a May 2005 school vacation to the Dutch Caribbean island.
“This information may help considerably in the solution of the mystery of Natalee’s disappearance,” the prosecutor’s office said, without saying what it might be.
“The mystery of Natalee Holloway will be solved Sunday,” De Vries said on the Dutch television show RTL Boulevard, which showed him meeting Natalee’s mother, Beth Twitty, at an Amsterdam airport. “It was a big operation that we worked on for months.”
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
