Television news outlets aired conflicting reports Friday and Saturday about the fate of Natalee Holloway, the teen missing in Aruba. On Fox News Channel, Geraldo Rivera and Rick Leventhal each reported that her death had been confirmed. MSNBC said that it was awaiting further official comment. ABC updated a 20/20 report on the hunt for Holloway (including interviews with her parents) with correspondent Deborah Roberts phoning in this comment for the West Coast feed: "A police chief here in Aruba tells us that one of the three young suspects arrested earlier this week has confessed to killing the 18-year-old Alabama girl." [The Associated Press reported that a deputy police commissioner had said that one of the suspects admitted that "something bad happened" to the girl. On Sunday, Aruba's attorney general and others denied that there had been any confession.]
