I was just going to post a similar link. I tend not to believe it. We'll see in 2 days but I'm betting it was a kind of desperation shot over the bow from Kelly.

Surprised we haven't heard from GVS recently. She had been more than hinting at revelations to come. Upper thread postings.

Holloway family attorney: Joran van der Sloot will reveal details of how Natalee died if he takes plea deal this week

It doesn't make sense the way Kelly spells it out as a confession. He's already given >a handful of versions. So far it's not a crime, if he did do it, that would trump Dutch jurisdiction. It would be silly for him to do anything but say he was lying. Will be interesting anyway.

"Holloway family attorney John Q. Kelly confirmed to CNN van der Sloot intends to plead guilty in connection to the case.

Beth Holloway, Natalee’s mother, will hold a news conference following the hearing to make public what Van der Sloot told FBI authorities."

That's a LOT different from what Kelly reportedly said a few news reports upthread. Originally that vds was required to tell what became of NH to get a plea deal.

That's Kelly's first version.

Now he reported that BH will hold a presser and SHE will disclose what vds told the FBI upon reaching the USA. Aint no way vds is going to reveal "new circumstances" about NH. It's not even part of what he's been charged with. No PD would allow him to incriminate himself in an unrelated crime.


Jvds don't care. He'll be on a plane before nov 1. Or by the weekend.
Only question remaining (to me) is whether predictable future crimes in Peru will be served before he would be scheduled to start serving time in the usa.

Van der Sloot has lied so much over the years about what happened to Natalee. Why believe him now? Unless there are witnesses to the crime, how do we know he’s telling the truth? He could probably pass a lie detector test, too, if he was given one. JMO

I agree with you, not only is he unbelievable now, but there is no incentive to tell the truth. No way a plea deal for financial crimes was tied to previously undisclosed details in an unsolved disappearance in a foreign country for which he is not a suspect under that foreigh government's law.

Looks like he's been fed well in prison

Agree totally. But I think there may be some comfort or closure perhaps for Natalie's family to hear him admit that he killed her, even if they never find her remains.

I don't think he killed her, I think she probably died while he was there. But that's nothing to rehash now.

Too much water under the bridge now, and legally it's an unrelated disappearance. The prosecutor saw enough to accept a guilty plea for fraud. Earlier a polygraph was mentioned; It makes sense if he did pass one, because he clearly did lie about putting her body beneath a foundation of a house which hadn't been built yet.

He has the same right to competent defense as do any of us. My main point is that they would never let him incriminate himself in a crime that was never proven to ever happen. Nor would the prosecutor or judge allow it.

He is free to do whatever he wants to do. Defendants do admit to crimes they have not been charged with. Usually with some sort of immunity agreement. But usually such an admission must be verifiable in some way.

If this is really the case, JVDS to provide details of how Natalee met her death, then this is not a done deal! IMO, JVDS lives to be manipulative and most likely won't be truthful, ever.
