US EditionTimeline: 20 Years Since the Disappearance of Natalee Holloway
- On May 30, 2025, two decades after Natalee Holloway went missing during a school trip to Aruba in 2005, her case remains open, with the primary suspect having admitted to her killing.
- After 18 years, Joran van der Sloot admitted to the FBI that he caused Natalee Holloway’s death, stating that he beat her after she rejected his sexual advances and subsequently disposed of her remains.
- While facing legal proceedings related to fraud and extortion charges connected to the disappearance, van der Sloot admitted to killing Natalee Holloway; however, he has not been charged with murder, in part because Aruba enforces a 12-year statute of limitations for such offenses.
- Natalee Holloway's father released a statement after the proceeding confirmed Van der Sloot's guilt, describing him as having 'tortured and extorted those who loved Natalie most' and calling him 'evil personified.'
- Officials in Aruba continue to investigate the case, while Holloway's family seeks closure and looks to the future despite the legal limitations on prosecuting Van der Sloot for murder.
