A 21-year old Aruban came forward Monday to say that he is the mystery man that Joran van der Sloot implicated on undercover tapes, but claims that he had nothing to do with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.
Daury Rodriguez said he was contacted on Saturday by a frantic biographer of Van der Sloot's who, he said, warned him that his name was about to surface in the press as being the alleged accomplice who took Holloway's body out to sea in a boat and dumped it.

It doesn't fit the story, so you've got to do something about it. You've got to give me proof [of his whereabouts in May 2005], so I can put it in the newspaper ... here in Holland."
Rodriguez, who grew up on Aruba and played soccer with Van der Sloot when both men were teenagers, said he was angry that his name had been dragged into the case. He said he met with detectives investigating Holloway's disappearance on Monday morning, and that he told them he was living in Rotterdam, Holland in May 2005, when Holloway went missing.

How much airtime has been wasted towards the disappearances of pretty white girls like Holloway and the Peterson twins, Lacy and Stacy, while no one seems to care when a woman or child of color goes missing? For shame, USA!
I might have said the same thing BEFORE. But NOW, we have the perp on tape confessing.
So what.
I could have gotten the same effect 3 years ago with a wet towel and a length of plywood. Saved lots of time and money.
This has to be one of the most racist remarks I've read in a while. Shame on you!
If, in the tape he mentiones this man as helping get rid of the body, but this person was not in the country at the time.. then this blows the ‘confession’ out of the water..
I think he did it, but if the story he told on tape doess not match facts then it is a problem, I think.
People like to gaze upon beauty. Any excuse will do.
Bigot.

The statement made by Cholerajoe is not racist at all. Its’ fact.
Huh? Look at the facts. Tons of airtime to the Holloway and Peterson cases. Almost none to dozens of Black women and children murdered or missing in the US. The media is racist, not me.
How much airtime has Greta V. or Nancy Grace devoted to Black women’s murders?
Thanks. My point exactly.
Why is this the fault of the USA?
Americans don't control editorial boards worldwide.
Bull crap. There are 4 whites for every black in the country, therefore it stand to reason (use noggin) that more coverage of whites would be the norm.
The fever from the cholera has affected your brain.
Here's your sign.
It's getting to the point that these "Playboy model" types are getting a bit much.
In fact I have a hard time ... hearing what they are saying ... as I am preoccupied watching their lips move.

Name just one Black woman’s disappearance that has gotten one-tenth the publicity of Natalie Holloway’s.
Could it be the party boat DJ? The one that was hauled in for questioning? Steve Croes or something like that.
