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.

So very sad. Thank you for posting.
Incredibly sad. The poor, poor family. So senseless.
I was afraid of that result. Hang 'em high.
Young life cut tragically short. Prayers for her family and friends.
Heartbreaking. Please remember the family in your prayers tonight.
When you're hoping,and praying for the "Best Case" in a grim situation like this,and all along the "Worse Case"
is in the corner of your mind. it just Sucks.
I so damn tired of these sad endings.
I'm for drawing and quartering.
So sad.
Humble prayers for her family, and prayers of thankfulness for the families of the two guys, and the two guys themselves, who may have been falsely arrested.
Sounds like a spoiled rich kid thought he could do anything he wanted...and she said no, he didn't like it.
that really sux.
you wonder what's wrong with people.
So very sad for the girl's family, not to mention her friends and classmates.

My guess is that before they give another press conference they will recover the body first. Just shaking my head over this.
