Oranjestad, Aruba ? Three young men who took an Alabama honors student to the beach before she disappeared must stay in jail, a judge ruled Saturday, as Aruba’s attorney general and others denied reports that one had confessed and said he would take police to the body.

As rumors mounted about the fate of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, a spokeswoman for her family, Carla Caccavale, told The Associated Press: “The family confirms that a body has not been found.”

Holloway vanished hours before she was expected at the airport to end a five-day trip to the Dutch Caribbean island with 124 classmates and seven chaperones celebrating their graduation from Mountain Brook High School, near Birmingham, Ala.

Police found her U.S. passport and packed bags in her hotel room.

No one has been charged in the case, and statements Saturday seemed to leave the investigation where it was several days ago.

Prosecutors refused to comment on a statement Friday night by Deputy Police Commissioner Gerold Dompig, who told The Associated Press that one of three young men in police custody had told police Friday night that “something bad happened.” He refused to identify which of the three young men made the statement.

A statement from the office of Atty. Gen. Caren Janssen late Saturday said “Information given by non-official sources jeopardizes the ongoing investigation and creates expectations and situations that are not based on fact. “

A missing poster of Natalee Holloway, an Alabama high school graduate who went missing while on a graduation trip to Aruba, is seen Saturday outside the hotel where she stayed before disappearing on May 30, in Palm Beach, Aruba.

Police refused to say Saturday whether they discovered anything that would lead to Holloway, who was last seen in the early hours of May 30.

Referring to Dompig’s statement, prosecution spokeswoman Vivian van der Biezen said Saturday: “We neither confirm nor deny any information coming from other sources … (about) alleged statements of suspects in this case.”

The night Holloway disappeared, she spent part of the evening partying at a restaurant and then in the back seat of a car kissing a 17-year-old Dutch student, according to lawyers quoting from testimony from two Surinamese brothers – friends of the Dutch boy – arrested in the case along with him.

Antonio Carlo, the lawyer representing the Dutch minor, said he is confident his client is “100 percent innocent.”

“My client has not confessed to any crime,” he told The Associated Press.

Police also have detained two other men – former security guards at a Holiday Inn near the one where Holloway was staying.
