A jawbone suspected to belong to Natalee Holloway does not belong to the missing Alabama teen, officials say. The jawbone discovered on a beach in the Caribbean did not belong to Natalee Holloway, officials said on Tuesday.
The Aruban prosecutor's office examined the remains, which experts believe belonged to a young woman, but revealed that an analysis of dental records concluded the bone is not from the missing Alabama teen.
"It could be excluded that the investigated bone material and molar came from Natalee Holloway," prosecutors said, and the true identity of the person whose jawbone it is remains unknown.
Holloway's family had submitted the dental records over the weekend after speculation the human remains could be from their daughter.
The bone, which included one intact molar, was found by tourists on Nov. 12.
Speculation about 18-year-old Holloway's fate has been fueled by false starts and dead ends since she vanished in 2005.
Dutch poker-playing playboy Joran Van der Sloot has long been considered a suspect in her disappearance, but has never been charged. He is now in a Peruvian prison for allegedly killing a young woman in Lima.
