(CNN) -- An investigative judge said Sunday that sufficient reason exists to reopen the inquiry against Joran van der Sloot, a suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway from the island of Aruba.
The announcement came shortly after Dutch television aired a program in which Van der Sloot told a man he considered to be his friend that he was with the 18-year-old on a beach near her hotel when she died, and that he arranged for a friend to take her body to sea and dump it.
"He went out to sea and then he threw her out, like an old rag," he told Aruban businessman Patrick van der Eem on January 16.
Van der Eem recorded their conversations on hidden cameras installed in the Range Rover he was driving, according to the report that aired Sunday night.
That's good enough for me. Fire up the "Dutch Oven," boys; we're gonna have a toad burnin'! Or, are we?
Van der Sloot has acknowledged making the remarks, but told an interviewer last week that he was lying. (H/T - CNN)
Oh, damn. He now says was lying, so I guess the video confession means nothing. Sorry everyone! Please resume your daily lives.
