Joran van der Sloot is serving prison sentences in Peru and the US

Natalee Holloway disappeared in 2005 while on a graduation trip to Aruba, after leaving a nightclub with Joran van der Sloot and two brothers.

Van der Sloot admitted killing Holloway in 2023 as part of a US plea deal over extorting her mother, Beth Holloway, by demanding money for information about her disappearance.

He also killed 21-year-old student Stephany Flores Ramírez in Lima, Peru, in 2010.

He is held at Challapalca prison in Peru, serving a 28-year sentence for Ramírez’s murder alongside a 20-year US sentence for extortion and wire fraud.

His expected release date is 2045.

Aruba’s 12-year time limit for homicide cases has expired, so van der Sloot can no longer be convicted there for Holloway’s killing.

Beth Holloway is seeking justice for her daughter and has worked with Dutch attorneys to file a murder complaint against him.
