Van Dersloot claimed he sold Holloway into slavery

It's just as I had suspected all along. Joran van der Sloot, who was under suspicion in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway from Aruba has given an interview with Fox's Greta van Susteren and confessed to selling the Alabama blond into slavery.

van der Sloot said he led a drunken Holloway to the beach and handed her over to a man who paid him $10,000. The man took her to a boat and they disappeared. van der Sloot seemed to think they were heading to Venezuela. He ended the interview abruptly when questions regarding his father's and lawyer's knowledge of what happened arose.

UPDATE:

Van der Sloot called FOX after the interview and claimed he had lied to van Susteren about selling Holloway.

Oddly enough, another "reluctant" witness came forward last week to claim van der Sloot confessed to her that he dumped Holloway's body into the ocean. Sounds like someone's out there trying to confuse and distract. I don't trust Celeste, the new witness. What makes the most sense to me is that Holloway was removed from the island by boat, dead or alive. Aruba is small and she disappeared without a trace. The authorities and media have combed every inch of it and they've come up with nothing.

Whether people choose to acknowledge it or not, people around the world traffic in sex slavery; and a beautiful, young blonde surely gets top dollar. If van der Sloot's most recent confession is true, the question is where did the man with the boat take her?

Another confusing aspect about this new revelation is that van der Sloot points the finger at Venezuela. Could this have greater implications with regard to the Bush administration's strained relations with Hugo Chavez? Is someone using this situation to demonize Chavez? Did a wealthy Venezuelen buy Holloway?

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, my first thought upon hearing about this case in 2005 was the possibility that Holloway was abducted and sold. My guess as to where she wound up was the Middle East, Russian/Slavic province or possibly somewhere in North Africa. That was just a gut feeling.
