Affidavit: Van der Sloot admitted lying about body
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A newly unsealed FBI affidavit says the Dutch man suspected in the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway admitted he lied to her family about where her body was buried on the island of Aruba.
The affidavit unsealed Thursday says Joran van der Sloot wanted $250,000 — and a signed contract — in return for showing her family where the remains were buried and the circumstances of her death.
According to the sworn statement from an FBI agent, van der Sloot took a family representative to a house on Aruba. He later admitted he lied when it was shown the house had not been built when Holloway disappeared in 2005.
Van der Sloot, charged with extortion in Alabama, is also being held in Peru in the strangling death of a 21-year-old woman.
