Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the unsolved disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway in 2005, has confessed to killing her and disposing of her remains before trying to extort the girl’s grieving family, court documents state.
The initial revelation came via U.S. Judge Anna Manasco Wednesday during a sentencing hearing in U.S. federal court where van der Sloot, 36, agreed to plead guilty to charges accusing him of extortion and wire fraud.
Federal prosecutors accused van der Sloot in a 2010 indictment of hatching a plot to sell information about the whereabouts of Holloway’s remains to her grieving family in exchange for $250,000. The Dutch national, who had been serving a 28-year prison sentence in South America for the murder of a Peruvian businesswoman in 2010, was extradited to the U.S. in June to stand trial in the Northern District of Alabama.

He should get the electric chair
First, Biden announced Israel's lie about the beheading of children by Hamas forces, and then retracted it without apology, and now the ridiculous lie of the bombing of the Gaza hospital by Hamas🤦♂️
God bless Ms Karen Marie, she has being a blessing to my family.
Sad
Should be life for keeping them in suspense so long he’s a complete sociopath
It is very sad that this family had to go through this for so long not knowing what actually happened. I hope this will give them some peace at heart. This man doesn’t even deserve a prison cell in my opinion . A psychopath in every sense of the word. No one will ever miss him.
Only 20 years? Ridiculous
I hope he gets what he deserves in prison. Shanked
Hope this keeps mommy from crying all the time on the TV. Time to move on….
I'm so glad the mother finally got some justice.
Sheikh Yassin, the founder of Hamas, was assassinated… Yasser Arafat was poisoned… even when Israel assassinated him… Jerusalem, God willing, will remain the first of the two qibla against America… and Israel… and Europe… God is Great.
