Joran van der Sloot confessed to murdering Natalee Holloway
Aruba's 12-year statute of limitations for murder has run out in Holloway case Joran van der Sloot has confessed to murdering Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005. The confession came after he pleaded guilty to extortion and wire fraud charges related to Holloway's disappearance. He will serve a new 20-year sentence concurrently with the previous murder of another woman. The country has a 12-year statute of limitations for murder, which ran out six years ago in Holloway’s death. Federal prosecutors revealed that they are seeking records from federal investigators following the confession. However, legal experts argue that this does not stop them from handing over evidence to Aruba.

THIS MOVING FORWARD? WELL, JARVIS, IN THE NATION OF ARUBA, THERE’S A 12 YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR MURDER. AND IN NATALEE HOLLOWAY’S DEATH, THAT EXPIRED SIX YEARS AGO. BUT AFTER HEARING ABOUT JORAN VAN DER SLOOT MURDER CONFESSION THIS WEEK, OFFICIALS IN ARUBA SAY THEY ARE NOW EXAMINING ALL OPTIONS. ON WEDNESDAY, THE DUTCH NATIVE DID IN FACT, PLEAD GUILTY IN BIRMINGHAM FEDERAL COURT TO TRYING TO EXTORT $250,000 FROM HOLLOWAY’S MOTHER IN EXCHANGE FOR INFO ABOUT HER DAUGHTER’S DISAPPEARANCE. AS PART OF HIS PLEA BARGAIN INCLUDED TELLING THE FBI EVERYTHING HE KNEW ABOUT NATALEE’S FINAL MOMENTS THIS WEEK, PROSECUTORS PUBLISHED HIS RECORDED CONFESSION WHERE HE STATED HE BEAT HOLLOWAY TO DEATH BEFORE PUSHING HER BODY OUT TO SEA.

VAN DER SLOOT PLEA AGREEMENT INCLUDED A CLAUSE THAT FEDERAL PROSECUTORS WOULD NOT USE HIS CONFESSION AGAINST HIM. BUT WE’RE TOLD HIS CONFESSION IS NOT OFF LIMITS TO ARUBA. I DO NOT THINK IT WOULD. IT WOULD ONLY BE IF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT PROSECUTED HIM BASED OFF OF THOSE STATEMENTS, JUST TURNING INFORMATION OVER, IT WOULD NOT BE A BREACH OF NOW, VAN DER SLOOT DID, IN FACT, RECEIVE 20 YEARS IN PRISON FOR THE EXTORTION AND WIRE FRAUD CASE HERE IN BIRMINGHAM. THAT SENTENCE WILL RUN CONCURRENT WITH THE PUNISHMENT THAT HE WOULD ALREADY WAS SERVING IN PERU FOR MURDERING A WOMAN THERE. AND THAT’S STILL AT 22 YEARS ON. IT. SO MORE THAN LIKELY, HE WILL NEVER RETURN TO THE US TO FINISH HIS PUNISHMENT IN THI
