ORANJESTAD, Aruba (CNN) -- 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 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 woman.
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.
I don't know if I can believe this...too many theories...but maybe the truth is finally coming forth?
Beth has not discussed the article about Joran's tears and confession with LE. Someone translated the article for her. Beth states that Joran has made several different statements.
Let's say Joran did bury the body. He took LE to the site; no body. That means his father/his father's "associates" moved it off shore. That's my prediction. And thanks again for your sane reporting. I've nearly stopped reading the posts of others. BTW, what happened to brigitte?
Hi sarasota, thanks for your logical explanation. brigette is still around probably observing as we type. :)
After I posted this I went to the newest thread and found that texasbluebell had the same conclusion. I will add that I think the body was transported out to sea and will never be recovered. And I hope I'm wrong.
