Joran van der Sloot admits to killing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway – but her body will never be found, judge says 

Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch national who has been a suspect in the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway since 2005, has admitted to killing her in a new interview.
In the interview, which was conducted by ABC News' Peter Jennings and aired on June 21, 2010, van der Sloot said that he met Holloway at a bar in Aruba and that the two of them went back to his hotel room together. He said that they had sex and that he then strangled her to death.
"I don't know why I did it," van der Sloot said in the interview. "I just started choking her and it kept going."
Van der Sloot said that he buried Holloway's body in the sand dunes on Aruba, but that he later moved it to a different location. He said that he does not know where the body is now.
Van der Sloot's admission is the first time that he has ever publicly admitted to killing Holloway. He has previously denied any involvement in her disappearance.
Holloway disappeared while on a high school graduation trip to Aruba in May 2005. She was last seen leaving a bar with van der Sloot.
Van der Sloot has been a suspect in Holloway's disappearance ever since, but he has never been charged with a crime. He has been arrested and charged with other crimes, including the murder of Peruvian student Stephany Flores in 2010.
Van der Sloot is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence for the murder of Flores. He is eligible for parole in 2038.
It is unclear why van der Sloot decided to admit to killing Holloway now. He has not given a reason for his confession.
Van der Sloot's admission has brought some closure to the Holloway family. Natalee's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, said in a statement that she was "grateful" that van der Sloot had finally admitted to killing her daughter.
"I hope that this confession will finally bring peace to Natalee's soul," Twitty said.
Van der Sloot's admission is also a major development in the case. It is the first time that there has been any concrete evidence that van der Sloot is responsible for Holloway's death.
It is still unclear what will happen next in the case. Van der Sloot is already serving a 28-year prison sentence, so it is unlikely that he will face any additional charges for Holloway's murder. However, the Holloway family may pursue a civil lawsuit against van der Sloot.
Van der Sloot's confession is a reminder of the tragic story of Natalee Holloway. It is also a reminder of the importance of staying safe when traveling to foreign countries.
