In a shocking revelation, court documents have unveiled a disturbing claim made by Joran van der Sloot. He was the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway. And has allegedly admitted to shoving Holloway to the ground with such force that her head struck a rock, causing her death.

Van der Sloot is currently serving a prison sentence in Peru for the 2010 murder of then-21-year-old Stephany Flores.

In 2010, van der Sloot was indicted on charges of extortion and wire fraud for attempting to extort money from Holloway's family in exchange for revealing the location of her remains. 

The case of Natalee Holloway has haunted the public for years. The 18-year-old Alabama teen vanished during a high school graduation trip to Aruba, and despite extensive efforts, her remains have never been found.

 Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch national who was the last person seen with Holloway, has long been a suspect.

The suspect's father, Paul van der Sloot, was an Aruba judge when the controversy erupted. His son was implicated in the missing girl’s disappearance. And suspected of protecting his son. But the judge passed away in 2010.

An Alabama judge declared Natalie dead in 2012.

Suspect admits to killing Holloway

Van der Sloot's account of the events leading to Holloway's death has always been inconsistent. His lawyer has described him as an "ill person" with "psychological problems." And has suggested his credibility may be questionable. In fact, van der Sloot has admitted to lying about the Holloway case in several past interviews.

The latest revelation came to light as part of an extortion plot. Van der Sloot reportedly demanded $250,000 from Beth Holloway, Natalee's mother to tell her what happened to Natalie.

 He claimed that he had been with Natalee on the night of her disappearance and had pushed her to the ground when she tried to prevent him from leaving. According to the court documents, he stated that her fatal injuries were a result of hitting her head on a rock. And added that the teenager's body was buried beneath a house foundation in Aruba.

However, when authorities investigated the location provided by van der Sloot, no body was found. 

He later confessed to lying about the burial site after the Holloways' lawyer had left Aruba. The suspect's father, Paul van der Sloot, who was an Aruba judge, passed away in 2010.

Despite multiple arrests and releases due to a lack of evidence, no one has been prosecuted in connection with Natalee Holloway's disappearance. 

Van der Sloot will be temporarily transferred to the United States to stand trial for the extortion charges before returning to complete his murder sentence. If convicted, he could face up to 40 additional years in an American prison.

Natalee Holloway's case continues to captivate the public's attention, with many hoping for justice and closure for her grieving family.
