Joran van der Sloot will not be charged in Natalee Holloway’s murder in the United States, despite confessing to bludgeoning her to death on a beach in Aruba 18 years ago – but prosecutors on the Caribbean island are leaving the possibility open.
Van der Sloot’s chilling confession was made public in court on Wednesday as part of a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to extortion and wire fraud for trying to extort Holloway’s mother Beth out of thousands of dollars in exchange for information about her daughter’s death.
