This week, Joran van der Sloot pleaded guilty to charges of extortion and wire fraud, related to the 2005 disappearance of Alabama high schooler Natalee Holloway. With the plea, Van der Sloot, who is already serving 28 years in Peru for the death of another young woman, also confessed to the murder of Hollway. But the statement, given 18 years after Van der Sloot was first questioned in Holloway’s disappearance, brought not just peace to her family, but an ending to a case that has captured the public’s attention for almost two decades.

Joran van der Sloot, the man suspected to be involved in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in 2005, has confessed to her murder, a federal judge said on Tuesday.
Van der Sloot said in his plea agreement that he kicked Holloway in the face after she resisted his advances when they met in 2005 in Aruba, where he lived and she was visiting. He then crushed her head with a cinder block and threw her body into the ocean.
Van der Sloot was one of the last people to be seen with the then-18-year-old from Alabama before she went missing. He was indicted in 2010 on federal charges of extortion and wire fraud that were connected with a plan to sell information about Holloway to her mother, Beth Holloway, in exchange for $250,000.
According to the indictment, Beth wired $15,000 to van der Sloot’s bank account in the Netherlands and gave him another $10,000 in person.

After 18 years as the prime suspect in the teen’s murder, Joran van der Sloot finally confessed that he beat Natalie to death on a beach in Aruba after she rejected his sexual advances. She was on a high school graduation trip at the time. He then dragged her body into the water and went home and watched pornography, according to Daily Beast.

Joran van der Sloot, who is the prime suspect for the disappearance and presumed murder of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway in 2005, could delay his pending extradition to the U.S. to face federal charges for months should he file a habeas corpus petition.
Van der Sloot, who is currently serving a 28-year-long prison sentence for murdering 21-year-old Stephany Flores, could remain in a Peruvian prison for at least another four months should he challenge his detention.
His lawyer, Maximo Altez, told reporters that he has been unable to reach his client for nearly a week after news of his extradition to the U.S. broke. An alleged “prison incident” in the Peruvian mountaintop penitentiary has sparked a full lockdown, with a complete cut off of the inmates’ access to phones and communication devices and in-person meetings. As a result, Altez has not been able to receive official approval from his client...

Hulu's newest psychological thriller series, "Saint X," which premiered on Hulu on April 26, draws inspiration from notable high-profile true crime cases in the media. The series, based on the 2020 novel of the same name by Alexis Schaitkin, centers around the mysterious disappearance and subsequent death of a young woman during a vacation with family on the fictional Caribbean island Saint X. In the aftermath of her death, her family's quest for the truth is complicated by conflicting stories and murky timelines of her final moments alive. Still, her younger sister is persistent to find answers.
Given the feasible storyline of "Saint X," audiences anticipating the series have been curious if the series is based on a true story. While it isn't based on one true event, the show parallels the real-life case of missing 18-year-old student Natalee Holloway, who disappeared while vacationing in Aruba in 2005.

“Saint X,” Alexis Schaitkin’s acclaimed 2020 novel, has roiling depth beneath its placid surface, much like the pristine waters of the Caribbean island where it takes place. The body of a young American girl washes ashore in those tropical tides, and because her death incites the story, “Saint X” initially cuts the figure of a thriller. Yes, the book slowly unfurls the details behind her untimely demise. But the story isn’t really about what happened, it’s about the grief, recrimination and obsession that consumes the survivors over time. It’s a meditation on trauma, shot through with social commentary and disguised as a nondescript “imperiled woman” beach read.
Hulu’s series adaptation of “Saint X” hews closely to its source material, which winds up being as much a curse as a gift. The show also feints at a proper whodunnit, then builds to a nuanced, if anticlimactic conclusion,...

Saint X, Hulu's adaptation of Alexis Schaitkin's novel, is loosely inspired by the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, but viewers shouldn't expect a ripped-from-the-headlines take on her story. The question of what happened to Alison Thomas (West Duchovny), a 19-year-old American who mysteriously died while vacationing with her family at a Caribbean resort, is the least interesting thing about Saint X, which engages with white privilege, classism, and other social ills across its eight episodes. The girl-gone-missing tale is simply writer/executive producer Leila Gerstein's gateway to these thorny topics, and while it doesn't always succeed, the show's willingness to take big swings makes it stand out in a sea of middling mysteries.

When he was informed in 2016 that shards of bone had been found in Aruba, Dave Holloway could only hope that DNA testing would prove the remains were of his daughter, Natalee Holloway, who went missing in 2005 while on a high school graduation trip to the Caribbean island. It would be sad, and it would be disturbing, but at least it would be an answer in a case that remains largely composed of questions. "We thought, well, maybe we've got something here, because I've had so, so many false leads, people who've just wanted to take you for a ride," Dave told E! News in May 2021. "I thought, Ok, this may be a new lead… Let's go on and see if we can develop it. That turned...

In an effort to put the spotlight on stories surrounding missing persons of color, “Access Hollywood” is teaming up with the Black and Missing Foundation for a monthly true crime segment that will bring focus to stories that are often left out of mainstream coverage.
Variety has exclusively learned of “Access Hollywood’s” special coverage initiative, which is intently designed to call attention to missing persons of color. The monthly on-air segments will be hosted by correspondent Zuri Hall.

This is so scary. Former pro wrestler Charles Williams (known as the Rockin Rebel) and his wife, Stephanie Williams, were both found dead at their home in an alleged murder-suicide on Friday, June 1, a statement from the West Goshen Police Department said.

If you're a true crime aficionado, chances are you already binge-watched the Netflix documentary Evil Genius.
