Natalee Holloway: A Case That Captivated The Nation

Joran Caught?!

In 2007, Joran and his friends the Kalpoe brothers were arrested again. This time police had discovered an internet chat log where Joran claimed that the day of her disappearance Natalee was already dead. This was also declared to be insufficient evidence and the suspects were again released.

This time the judge declared the case closed. One year later in 2008, a journalist from the Netherlands named Peter de Vries went undercover. Peter worked over a period of time to gain Joran Van Der Sloot’s trust. Ultimately Joran trusted Peter enough to talk about what actually happened the night Natalee disappeared.
