The entire U.S. Has been eager, for the past five years, to find something of substance concerning the Birmingham, Alabama high school graduate Natalee Holloway's disappearance. Her name, along with the name, Joran van der Sloot, who was the last known person to see her, have surged and waned in the news since her disappearance in 2005.
Van der Sloot is currently in prison in Lima, Peru accused of killing a young Peruvian girl exactly five years to the very day when Holloway disappeared. He has admitted several times in the past of witnessing the death of Holloway and disposing of her body, however, has always retracted those confessions and was never even accused of being responsible for her death.
Earlier this year some scuba divers from the U.S., while taking some underwater photos, found one, after they were back home, which showed a form on the ocean floor which gave a slight resemblance of human remains. The authorities sent divers to search unsuccessfully for the formation, but were unable to find it.

Now, on Friday, November 12, an American lady vacationer found what appears to be a human jawbone, in the sand of a beach. She turned it over to the desk clerk of a local hotel who then turned it over to the police. Although the authorities there were unable to even verify that it was a human jawbone, a local forensic reportedly believes it to have been from a young woman.
The bone has now been sent to the Netherlands' Forensic Institute in the Hague for a thorough examination. Officials in Aruba do not know how soon the tests may be completed since there DNA tests made in addition to the identification of whether or not it is a human bone.
No one is committing themselves to a guess if it may be from Natalee's remains. There is nothing so far, to base it on other than one expert's belief that it was from a you woman.
