Joran van der Sloot allegedly struck a deal to plead guilty to involvement in an extortion plot and tell what he knows about the Alabama teenager’s disappearance and death in Aruba in 2005.
I wouldn’t trust what he will admit as part of the plea deal. He’s been dishonest for years, why would he change now?
Correct me if I’m wrong here - this doesn’t mean he’s guilty of her murder, right? Just that he’s guilty of involvement in an extortion plot.
Of note, the text of the article says $250,000; the video says $25,000. Video also says that there won’t be any further search for her remains. When the reporter asked the attorney why not, his response indicates that there is a specific reason which will become evident in court, and that her mother will speak immediately after the case is finished.
No, he did kill her but the investigation was so mismanaged that it’s impossible to prove. Her mother discovered later that the police chief was Joran’s godfather and did everything in his power to sabotage the investigation.
She wrote a book about it and it’s really disgusting how they treated her and her family. I just listened to a podcast about this case by two sisters that knew her and were in school with her (People are the worst).
Edit: the extortion was an operation by the police and her mother to get him to confess, since he was already asking her for money to tell her where he buried her or how he killed her. (I think)
Oh, I’m sure he did it, but legally speaking, he’s still not admitting to the murder, and he’s still not been charged with murder. He’s pleading guilty to extorting the Holloway family, money for information.
Yes that’s what I meant really. He’s really a POS torturing that family. I’m really looking forward to read his obituary with pleasure.
