One of three top suspects in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway wrote
during an Internet chat session that the teenager was dead, Aruba’s chief
prosecutor said Thursday.
Prosecutor Hans Mos refused to identify the person who wrote the message
but said its discovery had contributed to the decision to re-arrest Joran
van der Sloot and brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe last month.
The men were subsequently released after they refused to speak to
authorities about newly uncovered evidence. The Aruba Public Prosecutor’s
Office said Tuesday it will not charge the three.
