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 murder, a senior police official said late Friday.

The suspect has agreed to lead police to the body of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, the police official said.

Police did not say which of the three teenagers confessed.

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 student.

Police said Van Der Sloot met Holloway May 29 at the casino in the Holiday Inn where she was staying. The Birmingham, Alabama, student 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.

In interviews with police, the three men acknowledged leaving the bar with Holloway. They told police they visited a beach before taking her back to her hotel about 2 a.m.

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.

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.

Authorities said the investigation has spread beyond Aruba -- particularly in nearby Venezuela, to see whether the 18-year-old may have gone there, either voluntarily or against her will.

fox news is only sayin one of the suspects said 'something bad' has happened to her.

[PhiI C]

Very bad news. What a waste that they did of what could have been a beautiful life. A bad tragedy.

They are saying it was reported wrong...as of yet there is no confession, but only the "something bad happened" comment

[CHS_CG]

[bullfrog_alumni_02]

im gonna post this now, i hate CNN. they carve their own political agendas out of everything. (especially every war we have ever been/are in)

[gato 76]

I hate to say this but if that would have been my daughter i would have never let her go on a trip like that,i would have let her throw her fit but she would have got over it and she would still be alive.

[CHS_CG]

I asked my mom this morning if she woulda let me go and she said she woulda been one of the parents that went on the trip lol. Natalee was a straight A student they keep saying but you think she woulda been smart enough not to leave a bar with 3 local guys. now if she was forced to leave against her will.. i dunno but i darn sure wouldnt have left on my own!

I understand how you feel, but being 18, she didn't HAVE to have her parents permission anyway....did she?

[gato 76]

No she was 18,but to leave the country the way things are now days,im sorry but i still would not let her she would have had a fit call me over protective but she would still be alive today.

[Gobbla2001]

I'm not a parent yet, and will not be a parent of an 18 year old any time soon... But I'd have to say I wouldn't want my 18 year old daughter going on the trip either... HOWEVER, I wouldn't stop her...

Anyone remember the story about the A&M student who went missing but was found after several years just living her own life because she was mad at her parents? I'd fear that more than a trip...

[NSUTrumpet08]

My sympathies go out to her family but the one thing that has irked me about this story is why are we making such a big deal about just her? Thousands of people go missing everyday but she gets all the attention and national news. Sorry to sound all callous but that's the truth. And what was she doing at a night club and bar anyway? Where there any adults or parents with her group when they were in the club? Geez...I would hate people putting the blame on the parents. This is just my opinion

That is not where the blame was...watch yourself and you might learn something instead of depending on what others report...

You can "dog" others only after you know what you are talking about.

It is.

[CHS_CG]

I did hear that the bartender at the night club said there were not any parents there. I believe he said there were a group of kids but no parents.

I am still not sure what to believe.. Cnn says the police have reported that one of them confessed to killin her but fox says that the government and police are sayin there was no confession and is not a search for a body.:confused:

This story has cornered national attention because of the international implications. Americans are by far the most travelled tourists on the planet. When stuff happens to them, it becomes news. We will all have to wait to hear the specifics of this case, but in the meantime, it would be a good idea for any others planning a trip like this to find a location within US controlled territory.

[lepfan]

They interviewed one of Natalee's friend's the other night. She said they were pretty much on there own...it was understood before they left that the chaparones were there for an emergency only.
