Hidden camera footage broadcast in the Netherlands on Sunday, Feb. 3, 2008, showed Van der Sloot saying he was with Natalee Holloway when she collapsed on a beach in Aruba. He said he believed she was dead and asked a friend to dump her body in the sea.
In the secret recordings, Van der Sloot said Holloway, 18, was drunk and that she began shaking and slumped down on the beach as they were kissing in May 2005.
"Suddenly she started shaking and then she didn't say anything," Van der Sloot said in Dutch, adding that he did not kill her. "I would never murder a girl."
He said he panicked and tried but failed to revive her. He said that Holloway looked dead but that he could not be sure she was not still alive when a friend took her away. Van der Sloot identified the friend only as "Daury."
Was he telling the truth or was he just trying to impress Patrick van der Eem?
I was just reading yesterday that what he said was dumb, dumb, dumb and he wanted to retract his statement.
I don't know if he did do it or not but all fingers are pointing at him at this stage. Someone knows what happened but can they keep quiet about it? I don't think so not for much longer.

What do you think?
Little Swine like him are a Dime a Dozen all over the Islands Nothing really surprises me with them. His Account of the Events might well be factual.
I think he's guilty and have from the start...I also think the others were accessories after the fact and know everything that went on...Even if she didn't die the way he says...which I highly doubt...he has nort placed himself with her at the time of her death...whereas his story before was he dropped her off at a hotel....
I'm sure they will find some way to use his statement against him as it was given voluntarily and he was not under any duress....I'm quite sure he has just screwed himself!!!!!!!!

Reading more about this story today. I don't think he murdered her. But he did dispose of the body and did not seek help for the girl, prior to doing this.
He panicked which is understandable.
The police in Aruba didn't do their job properly from the start either, but it would have probably been too late for Natalee.
