Joran van der Sloot Admits He was with Natalee Holloway when She Died on Beach

In a conversation caught on hidden video cameras Joran van der Sloot admitted to a friend that he had been with Natalee Holloway when she died on an Aruban beach in May 2005.

The startling admission was caught on camera by Dutch television crime reporter Peter R. de Vries who had rigged a Range Rover with cameras that recorded Van der Sloot acknowledging that he was on a beach with the 18-year-old high school graduate and that “"she suddenly didn't do anything anymore.”

During that conversation Van der Sloot said he had made attempts to revive Holloway but then contacted a friend in hopes they would help dispose of the body. The recording caught Van der Sloot saying “the ocean is big,” an indication that Holloway’s body may have been dropped at sea.

Van der Sloot acknowledged that he had made the statements but has since said that he was lying about his involvement. Now studying in university, Van der Sloot has been arrested twice in the case but both times has been released due to insufficient evidence.

Last week prosecutors in Aruba announced that they were reopening their investigation following new evidence but they did not reveal whether or not the Van der Sloot confession was what they were basing that on.
