Prosecutor: 'No doubt' Natalee Holloway is dead

[Gunny]

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (CNN) -- There is enough evidence to prove Natalee Holloway is dead -- even if the Alabama teenager's remains are never found, Aruba's chief public prosecutor said Friday.

"There's no doubt in my mind that she's dead ... I think we have enough evidence to prove the girl is not alive anymore, even without a body," Hans Mos said.

"You don't need a body under our law to prove someone is dead. And any day that passes now is just more evidence that she is not alive anymore."

Joran van der Sloot, 20, arrived in Aruba late Friday, and is sheduled to appear before a judge Monday. He was flown with a police escort back to the island from the Netherlands, where he was attending college.

An Aruba judge Friday ruled authorities can continue to hold two other suspects in Holloway's disappearance -- Deepak, 24, and Satish Kalpoe, 21 -- for at least eight more days.

The brothers were arrested Wednesday in Aruba. Van der Sloot, the son of an Aruban judge, was arrested in the Netherlands the same day.
