However, 's claims to Dutch location RTL-5 are "unbelievable," prosecutor Peter Blanken said. Earlier: RTL-5 said Tuesday it had "acquired aristocratic real containing a assertion by Joran van der Sloot" about Holloway's disappearance. "This concrete was outset offered to us in 2009," Remko van Westerloo, the station's steersman of programming, said in a statement. "Obviously, our commencing effect was skeptical," van Westerloo said.
"However, we did discern that this talk required out-and-out research. We've viva voce to a mixture of experts and several critics. These findings resulted in a TV memorable which will reveal this Sunday. It's up to the viewers to configuration their own opinions on the matter.
" The affirmation did not divulge the contents of van der Sloot's interview. However, Blanken told CNN on Tuesday that van der Sloot says in the question that he dumped Holloway's body "in a founder on the north end of the island." "He was very unspecific," Blanken said. Blanken said RTL contacted him about the check closing summer, and the caste showed the evaluate to him to get his reaction.
He said his area and Aruban supervise investigated. "We tried to affirm it," Blanken said. "It couldn't be true. We talked with several witnesses and reviewed several facts. The statement is preposterous and not true, in my opinion.
" He said his business told van der Sloot "we'd in the manner of him to come in and state with us about it. He failed to respond." Asked why van der Sloot gave the interview, Blanken said, "You should bid him.
Maybe he wanted to be on camera or draw some money." Holloway was 18 when in seen in the original hours of May 30, 2005, leaving an Oranjestad, Aruba, nightclub with van der Sloot and two other men, brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. She was visiting Aruba with about 100 classmates celebrating their graduation from Mountain Brook High School in suburban Birmingham, Alabama.
Holloway failed to show up for her split old folks' the following day, and her replete bags were found in her lodging room. Van der Sloot and the Kalpoes were arrested and released in 2005 in relation with the case. In 2007, they were arrested a moment while after Aruba's then-chief prosecutor, Hans Mos, said he had received uncharted evince in the case. Van der Sloot, who was attending college in the Netherlands, was brought back to Aruba. But judges ruled the unripe verification -- which included an Internet talk the same age Holloway disappeared with one of the three youths saying she was smothered -- was not enough to hold them jailed.
In 2008, prosecutors sought unsuccessfully to seize van der Sloot a third lifetime after a videotape surfaced on Dutch television. In it, van der Sloot tells a staff he considered to be his supporter that he had sexual intercourse with Holloway on the shore after leaving the nightclub, then she "started shaking" and down the drain consciousness. He said he panicked when he could not resuscitate her and called a patron who had a boat.
The two put Holloway's body in the boat, he said, and then he went home. The squeeze told him the next daytime that he had carried the body out and dumped it in the ocean. "I didn't forfeit a unimportant of snore over it," van der Sloot said on the tape. Holloway's mother, Beth Twitty, told ABC at the occasion that the video showed van der Sloot was "not innocent.
" But an Aruba court ruled there was not enough denote to re-arrest him. Aruban prosecutors said authorities had met with van der Sloot in the Netherlands, but in a two-hour assessment he denied any post in Holloway's disappearance. Van der Sloot acknowledged to a Dutch box program he made the comments, but said he was lying. "That is what he wanted to hear, so I told him what he wanted to hear," he said.
"When [van der Sloot] in fact wants to word the truth, [we hope] he will," said Blanken, who took over as head prosecutor in September. "He didn't know the reality [this time]." CNN's Susan Candiotti contributed to this report.
