2. The Tides Turn in 2017
Twelve years after Holloway’s disappearance, a new twist emerged in the case in the form of a confession from Van der Sloot in an interview on January 4, 2017. However, Holloway’s father declared it a lame publicity stunt. Van der Sloot would confess he felt guilty for what he had done, but that his case had been handled terribly by the police which led him to fabricate most of his stories.
