A new revelation in the case of Robyn Gardner, who went missing in Aruba earlier this month: her traveling companion Gary Giordano reportedly took out a $1.5 million accidental-death insurance policy on her just before their trip. And he tried to redeem it only two days after her disappearance. Given this new evidence, police in Aruba are holding him for at least another sixteen days. More »

A jawbone found earlier this month on an Aruban beach is human, but dental records show it's not Natalee Holloway's. Also, a cute kid from Jersey found a second bone, but that one's not even human. More »

Last night, 20/20 aired the much-hyped video footage of murder suspect Joran van der Sloot admitting involvement in Natalee Holloway's disappearance/the disposal of her body. The footage was captured by an Dutch ex-con named Patrick, who, in concert with investigative reporter Peter de Vries, rigged up a car with audio/video recording equipment in an effort to get van der Sloot to confess to being part of Holloway's murder on (hidden) camera. And the rest, as they say is (sordid) history: In the video, van der Sloot refers to Holloway a whore, describes a seizure she had, and says he wasn't even sure if she was dead before dumping her body in the ocean. Then he brags about the "big fat compensation check" he will receive when he sues Aruban officials for "emotional damages." Prosecutors in Aruba, however, say that the tape is admissible as evidence, and that they will most certainly use it. Clip above. More »

It's been over two years since Natalee Holloway disappeared in Aruba, and local authorities claim to have new evidence that could possibly incriminate one of the old suspects. The day after Thanksgiving, Aruban brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe and Netherlands native Joran van der Sloot were all arrested because new evidence had surfaced. Turns out that the evidence in question is an instant message. Allegedly one of the trio said in an internet chat room that Natalee was dead, but the Aruban police won't say which suspect made the web gaffe. [CBS News] More »

The primary suspects in the 2005 disappearance of American teen Natalee Holloway were arrested last week in light of new evidence. Brothers Satish and Deepak Kalpoe were arrested in Aruba, while their buddy, Joran van der Sloot, was taken into custody in the Netherlands and brought to Aruba, where he is to appear in a closed-court hearing today. I went to Aruba with my mom and sister about a year after Holloway went missing, and while we were there, we saw Joran van der Sloot several times. He came into the tiny casino of our hotel, acting like he owned the joint. All of the Americans at the resort knew exactly who he was, and everyone was staring at him. But he was eating it up: He seemed to enjoy the attention, like he was a celebrity or something. To complete our Holloway tour, my family went to Carlos 'n Charlie's for Easter dinner. The restaurant/bar — where Natalee was last seen, leaving with van der Sloot — had a "joke-y" menu that was supposed to resemble a newspaper with fake stories. We were seriously shocked at what we read. I'm so glad I saved it. After the jump, folks. More »
