After nearly two decades, the family of Natalee Holloway, who went missing during a high school graduation trip to Aruba, may finally receive some answers. According to a lawyer representing the Holloway family, Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the teenager’s murder, has accepted a plea deal in the federal extortion and fraud case filed against him. In an interview with NBC News, the attorney states that this agreement will compel van der Sloot to disclose information about Holloway’s death. The public defender for van der Sloot and the federal prosecutor have yet to comment on the matter.
The attorney further explains that the conditions of the plea deal require van der Sloot to reveal details about how Natalee died and what was done to dispose of her body. However, there are concerns that he may provide false information. Although he is not being charged with murder, as Holloway’s body was never found, van der Sloot is facing charges related to extorting money from her family. He allegedly demanded $250,000 in exchange for information regarding her disappearance. After the family paid a portion of that amount, van der Sloot reportedly provided them with misleading information. The 36-year-old Dutch national was extradited from Peru, where he was serving a life sentence for another woman’s murder. Initially pleading not guilty, it is uncertain which specific charge or charges van der Sloot will plead guilty to. The hearing is scheduled for Wednesday. (Read more Natalee Holloway stories)
