Judge asked to declare Natalee Holloway dead

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A judge holds a hearing Thursday on whether to sign a court order declaring Natalee Holloway dead more than six years after she disappeared in Aruba. The hearing comes one day after a suspect questioned in her disappearance, Joran van der Sloot, pleaded guilty to killing a woman in Peru.
Jefferson County Probate Judge Alan King is hearing a request by Natalee Holloway's father to have her declared dead. The judge ruled in September that Dave Holloway had met the legal presumption of death and it was up to someone to prove she didn't die on a high school graduation trip. The father's attorney, Mark White, says no new evidence has come forward and he will ask the judge to rule her dead.
Attorneys say both parents plan to attend.
