Aruba Hands Natalee Holloway Case to Dutch Prosecutors

0:00It's April 6th. You're listening to Entertainment and celebrity news today. AI-powered pop culture updates. I'm Cory with the story. Aruba just handed the Natalie Holloway disappearance case over to Dutch prosecutors after her mom filed a complaint there. Joran van der Sloot, the main suspect, confessed last October to killing the 18-year-old back in 2005. He admitted kicking her heart and smashing her head with a cinder block on a beach before dumping her body in the sea. He finally vanished on May 30th during a high school trip to Aruba when she was last seen leaving a bar with van der Sloot. He got arrested twice, but never charged there. Fast forward, he's serving 28 years in Peru for murdering another young woman in 2010. Beth Holloway, Natalie's mom, says hearing the brutal details hurts deep but ends 18 years of not knowing. Her husband Dave called van der Sloot pure evil. The family pushed for this after his confession came out in Alabama court docs. Aruba reviewed the new evidence but said it's not enough for murder or manslaughter charges

1:04and the time limit for manslaughter has passed there. Anyway, but in the Netherlands, where van der Sloot's from, that clock hasn't run out. Dutch officials now have the full file to check the complaint so charges could still drop. After all these years, Beth's fight might finally bring some justice across the ocean.
