Did he? did he just "come unglued" five years to the day that the Holloway murder was alleged to have happened?. It's more coincidence than I can handle. I think it may be more that Van der Sloot is a ritualistic sociopath. But that's My 2 cents.

I agree with your thoughts. five years to the damn DAY was no coincidence whatsoever, none.
I think this guy wanted an “anniversary party” and she wouldn’t go along. So he beat her up and tried to render her unconscious but killed her instead. Then he took off.
I’l bet you that’s how Natalee went. Gave her a mickey so she couldn’t resist him but she still wouldn’t go along. He had his way then figured she was dead and that’s when the cover-up began.
