Suspect confesses to killing Alabama teen

[Money Boss Hustla]

I'm going to get slammed for this...but a lot of people made some horrible decisions that night. A drunk girl leaves the bar with 3 unknown men. Not a good decision. Her friends let her get into the car of 3 unknown men. Not a good decision. Common sense was not exhibited and ultimately cost Natalee her life. She didn't deserve anything that happened to her...but bad choices were made.

Aruba police official: Suspect confesses to killing missing teen


One of three young suspects arrested Thursday in the investigation into the disappearance of an Alabama teenager has confessed to her killing, a senior police official said late Friday.
Police did not say which of the three confessed to the killing of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway.

The three have been identified as brothers Satish Kalpoe, 18, and Depak Kalpoe, 21, and their friend, 17-year-old Joran Van Der Sloot, the son of a judge.

The three, taken into custody early Thursday, were the last people to have reported seeing the missing woman.

Aruba Prime Minister Nelson Oduber told CNN that he had not been informed of any confession, but he noted he and other politicians would not ordinarily be told at this point in an investigation.

"The only people who can make that statement are those involved in the investigation," Oduber said.

He said as of early Saturday there was no hunt for any body or remains.

"Investigators will continue early in the morning doing their job," Oduber said.

Casino meeting

Police said Van Der Sloot met Holloway May 29 at the casino in the Holiday Inn where she was staying. The Mountain Brook, Alabama, resident was in Aruba with classmates celebrating their high school graduation.

Later that night, Holloway went to a popular nightclub, Carlos 'N Charlie's, with about 40 of her classmates. She left around 1:30 a.m. on May 30 with the Kalpoes and Van Der Sloot, authorities said.

Holly Brown, a Holloway friend who was at the club that night, said she found Van Der Sloot to be "very different."

"He lied about his age, and when we went on the [Carlos 'N Charlie's] Web site, we found pictures of him there one week before at the same place, wearing the same clothes," Brown told CNN.

Police said the Kalpoes and Van Der Sloot told authorities they went with Holloway to a beach after leaving the bar before taking her back to her hotel at about 2 a.m.

The men claimed they visited a lighthouse on the northwestern tip of the island, which is only 19 miles long and 6 miles wide.

According to police statements, the Kalpoe brothers described her as stumbling on the way into the hotel, possibly as a result of alcohol, and that a "dark-colored" man in a black T-shirt with a radio helped her.

Two arrests

That testimony led to Sunday's arrest of Abraham Jones, 28, and Mickey John, 30, two security guards at a hotel near where Holloway was staying.

But a Holiday Inn employee who has reviewed surveillance tapes from that morning said the tapes do not show any sign of Holloway. Authorities had no explanation and were looking at whether the five men have any connections to each other.

The guards' attorneys maintain the two are innocent.

None of the five men have been formally charged.

Van Der Sloot's mother said she was confident her son had told authorities everything and that he was innocent.

"He was willing to help with anything, and he had a kind of quiet resolve -- I mean he said, 'Mom, don't be upset because everything will be fine. I know I am innocent, I didn't do anything,'" Anita Van Der Sloot told CNN.

"And in a very almost naive way he was very open with us, told us everything what happened," she said, adding that he has offered to speak with the Holloway family.

Government officials have said solving Holloway's disappearance is a national priority on the small Caribbean island where tourism is a top industry.

A massive search operation has involved authorities, family, friends and volunteers.

UPDATE:

Meanwhile, conflicting reports emerged regarding what the youths are telling police about the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

A senior police official told CNN there had been "a breakthrough amounting to a confession, or some sort of confession" in relation to the case, but did not say who made it.

Law enforcement sources close to the investigation said there has not been a confession, but that cracks are appearing in the three suspects' stories.

Prosecutors refused to confirm or deny reports of a confession.

Spokeswoman Vivian Van Der Biezen said only that the investigation was at a "very crucial" point.

Aruba Prime Minister Nelson Oduber said no one had informed him of a confession, but noted that type of information is not something he would learn of during this stage of investigation.

He said early Saturday that there was no search for a body or remains.

With all do respect though, a lot of people did make bad decisions but how many of you would let your 18 year old daughter go to Aruba on her own in the first place?? I sure as hell wouldn't!!

she didnt go on her own.. plenty of kids go to cancun as a graduation trip every year.. aruba should be no different.. her friends would rather be dead now too i bet..

[gixxer600]

I know it was a group thing. Bottom line is, theyre 18 and totally unsupervised. I doubt they're folks are blind to fact that booze flows like water at these places. Sad stories like these happened many times before. This isn't the first. A lot of 18 year olds are really nieve especially when they take off to new and exiting places and everyone seems really "nice". Places like these are like fishing in a stocked pond for predators. I woulnt let my kid go. Call me old school, but she'd still be here.

[Deezuhl]

i agree and i am old school also.. lets not forget how often this happens in america also.. how about in colleges every year how many girls party get drugged, raped and killed.. it sucks man!!! people are sick!!!
