Authorities discovered human remains behind a house in Aruba, a grisly find that may finally crack the mystery surrounding a young womans disappearance 12 years ago. <\/p>\n
The remains, discovered following a renewed 18-month probe, are being tested to see if theyre a DNA match with Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teenager who went missing while on a graduation trip in 2005, her father, Dave Holloway, and investigator T.J. Ward revealed on Today on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
I know theres a possibility this could be someone else, and Im just trying to wait and see, Holloway said. It would finally be the end. <\/p>\n
In 2012, an Alabama judge granted Holloways request to have his daughter declared dead but no one has ever been charged in her disappearance. <\/p>\n
Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch man the teen was last seen with outside a bar, is serving a 28-year sentence in a Peru jail for killing business student Stephany Flores a killing that came five years to the day after Natalees disappearance. <\/p>\n
In March 2016, van der Sloot appeared to have made a shocking confession to an undercover reporter about having murdered Natalee. <\/p>\n
The dad said the investigation led them to an informant known as Gabriel, who lived with a friend of van der Sloot, and eventually, to the remains. <\/p>\n
[He] had information that took us to a spot where remains were found. And we took those remains and had those remains tested, Holloway said. Weve chased a lot of leads and this one is by far the most credible lead Ive seen in the last 12 years. <\/p>\n
The DNA tests will take several months. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
