ORANJESTAD, Aruba -- Aruba's attorney general and others are denying media reports that there has been a confession in the case of a missing Alabama honors student Natalee Holloway.

Editor's Note: The Associated Press initially reported that the suspect admitted to killing Natalee Holloway. AP later revised its story to indicate that the man said "something bad" happened to her.

Three young men are being held in connection with Holloway's disappearance. On Saturday, a judge ruled that the men would remain in police custody.

Holloway vanished May 30 -- just 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.

Police found her passport and packed bags in her hotel room. No one has been charged in the case.

Prosecutors at first refused to comment on a statement by the deputy police commissioner, who told The Associated Press that one of three young men in police custody had told police Friday night that "something bad happened."

Referring to that statement, a prosecution spokeswoman now says, "We neither confirm nor deny any information coming from other sources."

A statement from the office of Attorney General 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. "

Holloway's family said Saturday that no body has been found.
