A new witness has emerged in the disappearance of US teenager Natalee Holloway on the holiday island of Aruba in 2005, the AD reports on Wednesday.

The paper says the witness saw the main suspect, Dutch student Joran van der Sloot, walk past his house in one shoe and a stained shirt followed by his father in a red car on the night the girl disappeared.
Aruban prosecution department chief Hans Mos told the AD the new witness statement is ‘interesting’ but ‘one of many’. Van der Sloot and his father Paul have always sworn they were not together that night.
Joran van der Sloot has admitted being with Holloway on the beach the night she died. He told an undercover tv reporter that a friend had dumped her body at sea.
Mos confirmed earlier reports that he hopes to have the case finally wrapped up by the end of the year. Van der Sloot has twice been arrested and released because of a lack of evidence.
