NATALEE HOLLOWAY MURDER:
NEW WITNESSES POINT FINGER AT
PRIME SUSPECT
In a development that brings fresh hope of solving the Natalee Holloway
mystery, a new witness has placed chief suspect Joran van der Sloot
near the scene of her disappearance at a crucial moment in the case.
And the witness has passed a polygraph test, The ENQUIRER has
learned exclusively.
There’s also a second new witness – an ex-girlfriend of Joran’s – who
claims that the wealthy lawyer’s son confessed, then threatened her on
the same beach where he was last seen with Natalee.
That’s the intriguing evidence behind Aruba prosecutor Hans Mos’ recent
stunning announcement that he may be close to rearresting van der Sloot,
The ENQUIRER has learned.
Eighteen-year-old Natalee vanished in May 2005 during a graduation trip to the
island with fellow seniors from Mountain Brook High School in Alabama.
Joran, then 17, has admitted that he was the last person to see her – but claims he
left her alive after making out with her on the beach.
The new witness has told police that he was awakened by barking dogs at 4 a.m.,
and from his living room window near the beach saw
Joran running past.
The teenager was coming from the direction of a tidal pond, his clothes were
soaked and he was wearing only one shoe as he ran toward a
McDonald’s restaurant, the witness said.
“It’s highly significant because Joran told police that he left Natalee at
2:30 a.m. and got a ride home from one of his pals,” former U.S. Secret Service
agent Art Wood, who investigated the case and helped Natalee’s family, told
The ENQUIRER.
