Here it is:

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (MSNBC/AP) - Police investigating the disappearance of an Alabama teenager in Aruba said late Friday that one of three young men in custody has admitted "something bad happened" to her during her island visit.

Fox got an interview with Antonio Nicky John, one of the guards released.

Q. Your feelings from day one

A. Very bad, innocent. Never seen her before, never seen them before. At beach party during the day (by the HI?), not there at night. All made up. Black security guard, black shirt, black pants. Put bits and pieces together and came and arrested me and my colleague.

Q: Treat you good? Force you to say something?

A: No, never forced me to say anything

Q: You were able to confront the three, how did it go?

A: Just talked to Deepak from Surinam, he didn't know who I was. I was interviewing him in the cell. Detective asked him if he knew me, no. Same for me, never saw him before. He said story about Holiday Inn all made up, never brought her back there. He was driving from C&C, Natalee behind him. Joran behind his brother. Dropped them off near the Mariott, Joran and Natalee, after the lighthouse. He went home and went online. He said she was very very drunk, nothing about drugs, heavily influenced by alcoholic beverages. About 2:30, back near the Mariott.

When Joran arrived home that night, he text messaged one of the brothers and said "Hey, we need to talk about this" and they met at his pool and came up with the story about dropping Natalee off at the hotel.
