In an emotionally charged hearing in Birmingham's federal court Wednesday morning, it was revealed Joran van der Sloot had confessed to killing Mountain Brook teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005.
The Dutch national from Aruba was long suspected in the disappearance and death and pleaded guilty today to the extortion of Natalee’s mother, Beth. He waived his right to appeal.
Van der Sloot, 36, received a 20-year sentence on each of the two convictions. Those sentences will be served concurrently with each other and also concurrently with his sentence in Peru.
“You have finally admitted that, in fact, you murdered her,” a tearful Beth Holloway said in court.
“You terminated her dreams, her potential, her possibilities, when you bludgeoned her to death in 2005,” Holloway said after he pleaded guilty.
“You didn't get what you wanted from Natalee, your sexual satisfaction, so you brutally killed her....You are the one in Aruba no one wants to be, the black mark on the island,” she said.
Beth Holloway said after Natalee was killed, van der Sloot went home and watched pornography. Holloway said she feels sorry for his mother and grandmother.

When does this creep get his due? I know...I know....
While he was free he went on to kill another girl, in Peru I believe, he did some time there. Scum!
I remember the Natalee Holloway disappearance case so well - Nancy Grace was all over the story at the time.
Natalee’s family has been through unbelievable anguish for almost 20 years.
Now, after so many years of denials this scumbag comes clean and only gets 20 years for a murder?
What a travesty!
Heck, Proud Boy Henry “Enrique” Tarrio got 20 years in the January 6 persecutions by liberal prosecutors
and he wasn’t even at the January demonstration.
How does that compare with the brutal murder of an innocent girl?
UNBELIEVABLE!
