10. The 2005 Arrests
In 2005, Van der Sloot and his two friends were arrested for suspicion of kidnapping and the murder of Natalee Holloway. Despite the lack of evidence, the laws in Aruba allow for arrests to be made on serious suspicion. While in custody, one of the young men confessed that something “bad” happened to Holloway when they were at the beach. This continued to fuel the media to point the fingers at Van der Sloot.
