The prime suspect in the disappearance of Alabama student Natalee Holloway reportedly told a friend he and his father rented a boat and 'took care of things' two days after she vanished.
The exchange, seen by The Messenger, shows Joran Van der Sloot sent an email to someone named David G from his Yahoo! email address in 2010 in which he makes yet another sinister claim about what happened to the missing teenager.
Holloway, an 18-year-old from suburban Birmingham, disappeared during a high school graduation trip to Aruba. Her remains have never been found, though an Alabama judge declared her legally deceased in 2012, without settling the case.
Van der Sloot was extradited to the US in June from Peru and is charged over her disappearance and was the last person seen with her. He faces one count of extortion and another of wire fraud after allegedly offering to reveal the whereabouts of Holloway's remains in exchange for $250,000 from her family.

The crimes are the only charges to have ever linked the Dutch citizen to Holloway's disappearance in May 2005.
While he is not charged with murder, he remains the chief suspect in the case.
Federal prosecutors obtained an email from the same account Van der Sloot used to contact Holloway's family, in which he described what happened in the days after she went missing.
'My dad got a boat two days later,' he wrote to David G. 'We went for a ride and took care of things. That's all I'm going to say.'
Police in Aruba have spoken to numerous boat operators on the island in a bid to uncover more information about Holloway's disappearance.
Investigators recently spoke to one to find out if he was involved in dumping the teenager's body.
'It's always seemed most likely that she was taken out on a boat,' an investigator told The Messenger.
'But the key is figuring out who would have taken him out there to do it. He and his father didn't have a boat of their own.'
Federal prosecutors have alleged Van der Sloot contacted Holloway's mother Beth Holloway through her lawyer in March 2010 and said he would reveal the location of the teenager's body for $250,000 with $25,000 paid upfront.
Beth and her attorney met up with him at an Aruba hotel during a recorded sting operation, gave him $10,000 in cash and wired $15,000 to his bank account, according to authorities.

Van der Sloot allegedly changed his story about the night he was with Holloway.
He claimed he picked her up but she demanded to be put down so he threw her down where she hit her head on a rock and instantly died, according to prosecutors.
Van der Sloot then allegedly took Kelly to a house and said that his father Paulus van der Sloot, who has since died, buried Holloway in the building's foundation.
During a hidden camera interview with Dutch journalists in 2008, the suspect claimed the teenager had a seizure and died as they had sex on the beach.
He said a friend named Daury who helped him load her onto a boat before he subsequently dumped her body into the sea.
But Van der Sloot later claimed he lied to the journalists.

The suspect was extradited from Peru where he was serving a 28-year sentence for the murder of a woman in 2010.
Stephany Flores was murdered by Van der Sloot in Peru five years after Natalee Holloway went missing in Aruba.
Van der Sloot was found guilty of murdering Stephany Flores, 21, in 2010 - who was killed five years to the day after Natalee's disappearance.
Peruvian prosecutors said van der Sloot killed Flores, a business student from a prominent family, while trying to rob her after learning she had won money at the casino where the two met.
They said he killed her with 'ferocity' and 'cruelty,' beating then strangling her in his hotel room. He pleaded guilty in 2012.
He
pleaded not guilty to the charges in relation to Holloway's
disappearance and is being held in a jail in Alabama. His trial has been
delayed until at least November. \
