An Amsterdam man who claims to have seen Joran van der Sloot dispose of missing U.S. citizen Natalee Holloway’s body in Aruba has given the young woman’s father new hope for answers as the 10-year anniversary of her disappearance approaches.
“I don’t want to get my hopes up high because I’ve done that in the past, but it kind of makes me wonder,” Dave Holloway told The Huffington Post. “What if there is something to it?”
Holloway said Jurrien de Jong, 59, told him last year that he saw van der Sloot hide his daughter’s body at a construction site in Aruba in 2005. De Jong recently shared the story with a Dutch newspaper.

For now, Holloway struggles with unanswered questions.
“I always thought the answer was right around the corner,” Holloway said. “Here we are nearly 10 years later and we still don’t know.”
