CNN just reported that one or more of the three young men arrested earlier this week have informed authorities that Natalee is dead. They have notified police where the body is buried. I didn't get any details about the circumstances of her death.

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.

CNN : Aruba releases two security guards

[lainie]

This story was proffered over the weekend, then retracted, then left for us to reinterpret. I don't think the confession ever really happened.

Great news, Yellowhammer! Apparently there was nothing linking those two security guards to Natalee. Happy to hear they have been released.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

I would have thought he would have stayed in Aruba and helped Natalee's family, like he said he would.

Geraldo is a grandstanding idiot. He did what was in his nature.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

The only thing linking them was that "two security guards" were fingered by (or invented by) the three guilty guys to help explain why she never made it into her hotel after they "dropped her off". The story cooked up by the three was unfortunately given some credence because they had a little influence on the island.

Hopefully the focus on these three will soon reveal the guilty party/parties.

"Being dutch law, thirty months for attempt murder, six years for premeditated, be prepared for half that for a minor"

I guess if, you want to knock someone off, take them over there and do it. Just in case.
