In a bombshell development in the NATALEE HOLLOWAY disappearance, The ENQUIRER has learned that suspected killer JORAN VAN DER SLOOT drew a secret map showing the location where he says he buried her body.
The map – which Joran claims pinpoints the blonde beauty’s grave in Aruba – is in the hands of Natalee’s father Dave Holloway and his top investigator.
Armed with this shocking new evidence, the grieving family and investigators from Texas Equusearch – a sophisticated search and recovery team – are now pressuring the Aruba government to allow them to start exploring the area.
The discovery of Natalee’s remains could be the key piece in the evidence chain needed to convict van der Sloot and slam him with a life sentence for murder on the Caribbean island.
The hulking Dutch thug, 22, confessed to the brutal slaying of Peruvian native Stephany Flores on May 30 – five years to the day that Natalee disappeared during a high school graduation trip to Aruba with her Alabama classmates.
"We have a map that was hand-drawn by Joran van der Sloot, revealing where he now claims he buried Natalee’s body," Texas Equusearch director Tim Miller told The ENQUIRER in a world-exclusive interview.
"It gives a precise location in the Bubali area of Aruba where Joran says Natalee’s body was buried."
Called the Bubali Bird Sanctuary, the terrain is ideal for the disposal of a body. It is a large wetland, supplied with treated water from the Caribbean island’s water treatment facility.
"That’s a very tough area to search," says Miller. "It is large, marshy and overgrown with high weeds. The map is new evidence in the Natalee Holloway case – and we have to pursue it.
"All we are waiting for is Aruban authorities to agree to work together with us to search the area."
