4 Nov
Summary
- Joran van der Sloot confessed to killing Natalee Holloway after 18 years.
- Never-before-seen FBI video shows van der Sloot's 2010 confession.
- Van der Sloot is serving a 20-year sentence concurrently with a Peruvian sentence.
In a significant development, Joran van der Sloot has confessed to the 2005 murder of Natalee Holloway, a case that has spanned nearly two decades.
Previously held by the FBI since its recording in 2010, never-before-seen footage from a meeting with Beth Holloway's lawyer, John Kelly, has been released. In this video, van der Sloot agreed to reveal Holloway's whereabouts in exchange for $250,000.
Van der Sloot provided details about Holloway's location, claiming her body was hidden in the foundation of a house. However, FBI investigation later disproved his claims about construction at the site in 2005.
This led to legal action against van der Sloot for wire fraud and extortion. He fled Aruba to Peru, where he committed another murder. He is currently serving a 28-year sentence in Peru.
In October 2023, van der Sloot accepted a plea deal in the U.S. for extortion charges, receiving a 20-year sentence to run concurrently with his Peruvian sentence. He is expected to be released in 2045.
