Nearly two decades after Natalee Holloway vanished in Aruba, Joran van der Sloot finally confessed to killing her, revealing that he kicked her in the face when she refused his sexual advances, and then bludgeoned her to death with a cinder block.
Van der Sloot, who has been the prime suspect in Holloway’s disappearance and death in 2005, appeared in a Birmingham, Alabama court on Wednesday where he pleaded guilty to trying to extort $250,000 from her mother Beth Holloway in exchange for information about the location of her body.
