(Feb. 26) -- New details have emerged in the alleged second confession of Joran Van der Sloot, a longtime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

As reported earlier his week, Van der Sloot allegedly made the second confession during an interview last August with the German news agency RTL. The alleged confession details the death of Holloway, an American teen who disappeared on a trip to Aruba five years ago. RTL said it didn't air the interview because it doubted its veracity.

Now, the Dutch newspaper Telegraaf reports that it has viewed a recording of the alleged confession.
According to the tabloid, Van der Sloot names an accomplice and says the pair took Holloway to a friend's house, where they drank and used drugs. Holloway then purportedly climbed up onto the rim of a balcony and began dancing.

"They both had just taken some coke." Van der sloot allegedly says. "I think she was pretty drunk, so she was just kind of dancing a striptease."

Van der Sloot says he walked over to Holloway and grabbed her by the hips, Telegraaf reports, at which point she "fell" from the balcony.

"We looked down and saw her lying there. Yes, there was blood. I think she fell on the ground with her head first." Van der Sloot is quoted as saying. "Her chin was to one side and I turned it the other way. There was blood on the ground too. There was no life."

Van der Sloot says he hid Holloway's body in a swamp because he was afraid of being prosecuted for the crime, the Telegraaf reports.

These most recent revelations come nearly three years after Van der Sloot made a similar confession during an undercover operation by reporter Peter R. de Vries. In that confession, Van der Sloot was caught on camera saying that Holloway had died accidentally and that he had dumped her body at sea. Prosecutors later decided that confession did not constitute legal evidence because the statements were a mixture of "lies and fantasy."

According to ABC News, the justice department in Aruba has also dismissed details of this most recent alleged confession, stating they are "entirely unbelievable."

Despite the Aruba government's take on the alleged confession, Holloway's father, Dave Holloway, told CNN Headline's Nancy Grace that he is willing to search the swamp.

"I would probably be willing to get a search team together and go search all of it," Holloway told Grace during a Tuesday phone interview.

Holloway went missing on May 30, 2005, during a high school graduation trip to Aruba. Van der Sloot was one of the last people to see her alive, and her body has never been found. The case received international media attention and sparked a made-for-TV movie by the Lifetime TV network.

Van der Sloot's father, attorney Paulus van der Sloot, died unexpectedly earlier this month while playing tennis. Police suspected he may have had information about the case that he took with him to the grave.

The full Van der Sloot interview is expected to air on RTL this Sunday.

Scared Monkeys (ScaredMonkeys.Com) was on top of the Natalee Holloway story from the beginning. They exposed the inept Dutch officials in Aruba day after day. When I saw this story, I immediately went over to see what Scared Monkeys had to say. I agree with them - if this had been an accident, there would have been no reason to lie passionately from the beginning.

The heartache and expense Joran and his cohorts have put the Holloway family through is unconscionable.
