Joran van der Sloot has officially admitted to killing Natalee Holloway. All the way back in 2005, the Alabama teen went on a high school graduation trip to Aruba with friends — but sadly, she never returned.

For nearly 20 years, the Holloway family has had a lack of answers while suffering an insurmountable loss. But FINALLY on Wednesday, they got some clarity.

Her mother Beth confirmed the news to reporters outside the Birmingham, Alabama courthouse the same day, revealing: She added that “he gave a proffer,” which is where a defendant offers proof as part of their plea deal, “in which he finally confessed to killing Natalee.” We can’t even begin to imagine the sort of emotions she’s experiencing right now.

Van der Sloot also pleaded guilty to extorting and defrauding the Holloways, after initially being charged in 2010 for attempting to extort $250k in exchange for information about the whereabouts of Natalee’s remains, which were never found.
