TL;DR Summary

Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba, has pleaded guilty to extortion and fraud in a US plea deal. While the deal did not include murder charges, authorities in both the US and Aruba are considering new charges in the case. Van der Sloot confessed to killing Holloway in a recent taped confession, which has been corroborated by the FBI. The case remains open in Aruba, but the country has a 12-year statute of limitations for murder charges. Van der Sloot will return to Peru to serve his sentence for the murder of Stephany Flores before completing his American punishment.
