Finally.
https://twitter.com/chuckcallesto/status/1714693957395898656?s=46Convicted murderer Joran van der Sloot has confessed to the killing of Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teenager who went missing in Aruba in 2005, according to statements made by a judge on Wednesday.
This admission has confirmed suspicions that the Dutch national was responsible for her death.
After reviewing documents submitted by Mr. van der Sloot, Judge Anna Manasco stated, "I have taken into account your confession to the brutal murder of Natalee Holloway."
The judge went on to remark, "You have brutally ended the lives of two young women who rejected your advances, in separate incidents occurring years apart." This also refers to a separate case in which Mr. van der Sloot was convicted of murdering a woman in Peru over a decade ago.
For years, Joran van der Sloot has been the prime suspect in the disappearance of Ms. Holloway. On Wednesday, he pleaded guilty to charges of extortion and wire fraud related to the teenager's death.
These charges were brought against him for attempting to sell information about the whereabouts of her remains in exchange for $250,000.
