Dutch police have arrested a new suspect in last year's disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba, the Netherlands' national broadcaster reported Sunday.
NOS said police in Utrecht had arrested the suspect, but it was unclear where and when. The new suspect was said to be of Aruban nationality and an acquaintance of Joran van der Sloot, another suspect in the case.
Holloway, of Mountain Brook, Ala., was 18 when she disappeared in May 2005 during a high school graduation trip to the Dutch Caribbean island with classmates. She was last seen leaving a bar with three young men on May 30.
Utrecht police spokeswoman Danielle Friedman said she could not confirm any arrests in the case.
"If there was an arrest, it was on the orders of the Aruban prosecutors and all information will be transmitted through them," she said.
Authorities have arrested eight people — including two last month — in connection with Holloway's disappearance but released them all for lack of evidence.
Van der Sloot is the last person known to have seen Holloway alive. He says he left her alone on a beach after the pair kissed.
Holloway's parents are attempting to sue Van der Sloot, 18, in a New York court. Their suit alleges he imprisoned and sexually assaulted Holloway and caused her disappearance.
Dutch marines, the Aruban Coast Guard, the FBI and hundreds of volunteers have searched the island and coastal areas of Aruba for Holloway.

It sounds like the arrest occurred in Utrecht, Holland, and not on Aruba. The article was datelined Amsterdam.

He was the only one on the island who hadn't been arrested yet. It was just his turn.

The great things about this for Greta and Fox News is that every arrest comes with a companion story two weeks later when the guy gets released! Twice as much excitement!

I immediately thought the same thing.
Fox News lost me as a regular viewer because of their never ending coverage of this.

I just hope that her parents can finally find out the truth about what happened to her and hope that the truth is not too grisly.

Fox News lost me as a regular viewer because of their never ending coverage of this. But...but...the gong sound! And the flag waving in the upper-left corner of every live news report. Won't you miss that?
