Justice Denied: Joran van der Sloot's Confession Brings Closure to Natalee Holloway's Mother

TL;DR Summary
Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance and murder of Natalee Holloway in 2005, will not serve time specifically for her murder due to the statute of limitations in Aruba. However, he has pleaded guilty to extortion and wire fraud, which compelled him to reveal details about Holloway's killing. Van der Sloot is already serving time in Peru for another murder, and the 20-year sentence handed to him will run concurrently. While the plea deal did not bring the satisfaction of seeing him locked up for Natalee's murder, her mother, Beth Holloway, is grateful for the answers it provided.
