A jaw bone discovered on a beach in Aruba belonged to a young woman, an Aruban prosecutor revealed on Thursday, further fueling speculation it is linked to Natalee Holloway.
The information is based upon an initial examination of the bone, reported WSFA News 12 in Alabama. DNA tests will determine if the remains are in fact Holloway's.
The jaw bone, which featured at least one intact molar, was discovered on a beach near a hotel on Nov. 12.
The Alabama teen's disappearance during a high school trip to the Caribbean has left investigators seeking clues to her whereabouts since 2005.
Although it has been speculated that she was murdered, no evidence of a crime has ever been found.
Joran Van der Sloot, a Dutchman believed to have been with Holloway the night she vanished, has long been considered a suspect in her disappearance. No charges have ever been brought.
The 22-year-old is in prison in Peru for the murder of a young woman there.
