Aruba's Request for Joran van der Sloot's US Investigation Records in Natalee Holloway Prosecution

Prosecutors in Aruba have requested the U.S. Department of Justice to provide them with records from its investigation of Joran van der Sloot, following his confession to killing Natalee Holloway in 2005. The request will help Aruban prosecutors determine the next steps in the case, as the statute of limitations for homicide in Aruba is 12 years. While it remains uncertain if van der Sloot will be charged, the Holloway case is still considered an open investigation in Aruba. Natalee Holloway's mother expressed hope that further action would be taken.
