Suspect Pleads Guilty To Natalee Holloway’s Death Nearly Two Decades Later

Joran Van Der Sloot admitted to killing the teen with a cinder block on an Aruban beach after she rejected his sexual advances. He then dumped her body into the ocean.

Nearly two decades after Natalee Holloway disappeared, her family has now received justice.

Holloway was 18 when she was last seen on May 30th of 2005. She was spotted leaving a night club on the Caribbean Island of Aruba with Joran Van Der Sloot and two other men. Holloway’s body has never been found and she was legally declared dead in 2012.

Van Der Sloot was arrested several times in connection to the case, but the lack of evidence resulted in his repeated release.

The suspect was recently accused of attempting to sell information about the location of Holloway’s remains to her mother in exchange for $250,000. This prompted Van Der Sloot to finally confess to Holloway’s murder.

Van Der Sloot admitted to killing the teen with a cinder block on an Aruban beach after she rejected his sexual advances. He then dumped her body into the ocean.

The deaths of Holloway and Stephany Flores, who Van Der Sloot previously admitted to killing as well, prompted the judge to sentence him to 20 years on federal charges.
