Attorney says van der Sloot’s confession about Natalee Holloway’s murder was ‘chilling’

Natalee Holloway's parents gathered in a room at an Alabama jail on Oct. 3 to watch the man long-suspected in their daughter's 2005 disappearance describe how he killed her. For three hours Joran van der Sloot was questioned — first by his own attorney and then by FBI agents — about what happened to Holloway, said Mark White, an attorney representing Natalee's father, Dave Holloway. “Chilling,” White said of watching and listening to van der Sloot’s account.
