Louisville, Kentucky, Mar 19, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Pictures taken by a Pennsylvania couple while they went scuba diving off the coast of Aruba reveals an image of a skeleton lying on the ocean floor. After it was presumed that the skeleton might be that of Natalee Holloway, an Alabama honors student who went missing in Aruba in the year 2005, the pictures have been handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

John Muldowney and his wife Patti Muldowney went diving off the Aruba coast in the month of October last year when they took the picture in question. According to reports, the couple thought that the best thing would be to hand over the photo to the FBI as John Muldowney had the gut feeling that the corpse belongs to Natalee Holloway, who went missing from the Aruba five years ago during a graduation trip. While talking about the picture, the elderly Pennsylvania resident added that it was rather strange that a body is lying under the water exactly at the location from where the girl disappeared.

Meanwhile, FBI’s Philadelphia office spokesperson Special Agent Frank Burton Jr. has confirmed that the investigative bureau has indeed received the picture, which has been transferred to the lead agent in Miami who takes care of the particular area in Caribbean. However, reports claim that the Miami office has no records of receiving the picture with no specific details available about where the picture currently is.

Police authorities closed the investigation in the Natalee Holloway missing case in December 2007 mainly due to lack of evidence. Since then the disappearance of the girl remains a mystery as the body of the Alabama honors student was never found.
