COPS CLOSING IN ON JORAN

By DAVID WRIGHT

Cops probing the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway believe they’re finally closing in on prime suspect Joran van der Sloot — after an investigator blew a major hole in his alibi.

The dramatic new line of investigation revolves around the timeline of May 30, starting about 18 hours after Natalee vanished.

There are several unexplained missing hours during which authorities believe that her body was dumped at sea.

Former U.S. Secret Service agent Art Wood, who spent months on the island investigating the case, told The National Enquirer: “Joran told police that he played tennis with a friend during the evening hours. And the pal backed up his alibi.

“But when I investigated the Racquet Club I found that Joran had never played tennis there that night.”
