Ten years after Natalee Holloway turned up gone, a Dutch national says he knows where to discover her. Prosecutors, be that as it may, aren't purchasing it.
Jurriën de Jong told CNN's Martin Savidge that the youngster's body is covered in a creep space at a Marriott excursion property in Aruba, and he accepts he saw her in her last minutes.
De Jong says he was close to Marriott's Aruba Surf Club, then under development, on the night of May 30, 2005, when he saw a young fellow pursue a young lady through the development site.
At in the first place, he thought the two were being energetic, yet he says a brief while later the man returned, conveying the lady in his arms. He says her body seemed limp.
"... He pulled (the lady) by the lower legs inside the creep space, stayed inside for a moment and afterward turned out and shut the hole," de Jong said.
Despite the fact that de Jong suspected he had seen something genuine, he says didn't go to the police in light of the fact that he was included in "illicit exercises" at the time.
Keeping his own wrongdoings calm - for quite a long time
At the point when news of Holloway's vanishing turned out, de Jong set up the pieces together, yet for a long time he says he stayed calm, anxious he'd be arraigned for his own criminal acts. He likewise says he was apprehensive about conversing with police and confronting countering from the individuals he worked for in his illicit exercises, which he declined to determine.
De Jong says he had a change of heart in the wake of seeing a 2008 Dutch show of a covert meeting with Joran van der Sloot, who was acquired for addressing in Holloway's vanishing yet never charged. In that meeting, van der Sloot said that Holloway passed on while the two were as one and her body was dumped in the sea.
De Jong says he got irate in light of the fact that he knew it was a falsehood and says he felt awful on the grounds that he has a girl near to Holloway's age. Van der Sloot later said he was lying in that meeting.
De Jong then called Holloway's dad, Dave Holloway, who has never surrendered any desire for discovering his girl. Holloway had confronted numerous false leads and lies before and composed de Jong off.

'Coming up short on potential outcomes'
"I was coming up short on potential outcomes," de Jong said. "I attempted to persuade the head prosecutor, the folks, then I attempted to persuade the other head prosecutor, yet he didn't tune in."
That is when de Jong endeavored what he called "Mission Impossible."The site where de Jong says Holloway is covered now rests under the skyscraper Marriott Aruba Surf Club resort, in a zone called the Spyglass Tower. De Jong purchased an electric drill with a jewel tip and went to Aruba to research the site. He says he deliberately arranged a plan to penetrate an opening through the lodging floor, yet his endeavors to examine the tower's establishments eventually fizzled.
Next, de Jong swung to nearby daily papers. Anyhow, a little while later, the new lead hit an obstacle - on the night Holloway vanished, authorities say development of the Spyglass Tower hadn't began.
Aruba's boss prosecutor, Eric Olthof, says he invested weeks researching de Jong's statements, including a 2010 sworn proclamation to police.
At the point when gotten some information about what development was in progress on May 30, 2005, Olthof says Marriott authorities said there was no development at the spot de Jong called attention to.
"It's clear now the narrative of Mr. de Jong can't be genuine, so's a shut book," Oltholf told CNN.
Enter Google Earth ...
Then again, a few signs confuse Marriott's official course of events of the development of Spyglass Tower. A satellite picture from Google Earth taken in June 2005, only a couple of weeks after Natalee Holloway vanished, shows what gives off an impression of being the hazy diagrams of structures that could look like a development site.
Holloway's dad says he recollects the site from the day after his little girl's vanishing. "I can let you know for an actuality. I was there on June 1, and there was certainly development here," he says.
Holloway says he has data that development started in February, yet he was not clear on how he knows. Natalee Holloway was most recently seen on May 30, 2005.
CNN's Savidge got this announcement from Jeff Flaherty of worldwide corporate relations at Marriott International Inc.: "Mr. de Jong has reached Marriott in the past and every time we have recommended to Mr. de Jong that he exhibit his record of the matter to the powers. As we have done from the beginning, we coordinate completely with the powers at whatever point they are directing an official examination."
As far as concerns him, de Jong says he accepts powers are dawdling.
"It's the badly designed truth. It would harm the picture of Aruba as one cheerful island," he says.
Oltholf won't say that de Jong is lying, yet says his announcement can't be valid.
"It's the announcement of the administration of the Marriott that around then, at that place, there was no development. At the point when there's no development, Natalee Holloway can't be covered in the creep space under the establishment," he said.
What's more, he included, that Marriott has given evidence.
"I believe they're not wrong on the grounds that they can demonstrate it with a few photos and some other material. Also, I think they are right with what they are stating. What's more, Mr. de Jong can't demonstrate it," said Olthof.
A secondary school graduation trip
Holloway was on a secondary school graduation trip when she vanished. The 18-year-old from Alabama was most recently seen leaving a bar with three young fellows, two siblings and van der Sloot, then 17. Van der Sloot has never been charged in Holloway's vanishing. He says he was with Holloway that night, yet left her on the shoreline, alone.
In 2012, he conceded to the 2010 homicide of Stephany Flores in Peru. Flores was killed five years to the day Holloway vanished. Van der Sloot is serving a 28-year jail sentence. He is relied upon to be removed to the United States after his discharge.
What does he think about de Jong's case that he saw him that night, in 2005? Through his lawyer, van der Sloot did not call de Jong a liar, but rather told CNN's Savidge he was a street pharmacist and is out for cash.
De Jong denies he ever requested cash, and dismisses the allegation, saying van der Sloot's furious on the grounds that he's terrified.
"I believe he's edgy. I mean the main motivation behind why he does that will be that he's sorry to say individuals go to trust me, " he said.
In the United States, he's been prosecuted on government charges of blackmail and wire misrepresentation. American powers blame him for blackmailing cash from Holloway's mom by offering false data about her little girl's vanishing
