Authorities in Aruba have requested documents from the U.S. Department of Justice in the extortion case against Joran van der Sloot, including his description of killing Natalee Holloway on the island nearly 20 years ago. Van der Sloot agreed as part of a plea deal to describe what happened to Holloway in 2005.
Beth Holloway speaks to media after the appearance of Joran van der Sloot outside the Hugo L. Black Federal Courthouse Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023, in Birmingham, Ala. Van der Sloot, the chief suspect in Natalee Holloway’s 2005 disappearance in Aruba admitted he killed her and disposed of her remains, and has agreed to plead guilty to charges he tried to extort money from the teen’s mother years later, a U.S. judge said Wednesday.
An attorney for Holloway’s father said last week it was his understanding, based on conversations with authorities, that the statute of limitations for murder has expired in Aruba. The United States does not have jurisdiction to prosecute him for the crime that happened in Aruba., an 18-year-old American, went missing during a high school graduation trip to Aruba with classmates.
On Monday, he remained at an Alabama jail where he has been held during the proceedings in the United States.
