There has never been any proof found that she was murdered.

He confessed to beating, strangling and suffocating the Peruvian girl (only because the camera caught him)
I think he did the same to NH. Probably some truth in his tale about his father helping too.

Natalie was last seen leaving a bar in Aruba with Van der Sloot and was reported missing when she failed to show up for her flight home in the morning. And a judge declared Natalie legally deceased in 2012. But it's true there's no crime scene or body to analyze.

I know the case very well. I think JVDS is a major creep these days, and I think Natalee is dead, and that he had something to do with dispos8ng of her body.
But I was 18 once, drinking for the first time, and am real familiar with possible aspiration of vomit which can kill. There is no need to go into all the reports from her friends who partied with her, and didn't even report her missing when they saw her go off with 3 guys. Joran and the Kalpoes were taken in for questioning several times, but the were all released without being charged. They aren't even declared "suspects" in any jurisdiction, which is the word being thrown around in the American press. We would not be able to do that with Americans.

I think he killed her and they can't be charged because of nobody or evidence since Aruba is an island. Ever since this case happened I am boycotting Aruba

That is not fully correct. Natalee was last seen leaving Carlos' n Charlies sitting in a vehicle with van der Sloot and the Kalpoe brothers.

Joran van der Sloot arrives in Alabama to face extortion charges in Natalee Holloway case
He has long been suspected in the 2005 disappearance of the Mountain Brook High School graduate visiting Aruba.
On March 29, 2010, van der Sloot contacted an unidentified representative of Natalee’s mother via email.
During a series of emails that followed, according to charging documents, van der Sloot offered to take the representative to Natalee’s body and tell that representative what happened to her and identify those involved in her disappearance and death.
During a series of emails to follow, documents state, van der Sloot agreed to modify the terms of his offer. For an initial payment of $25,000, he would take the Holloway representative to the location of Natalee’s body.
Once the body was recovered and confirmed to be Natalee, he said, he would then collect the remaining $225,000.
Van der Sloot emailed his bank account information – SNS Bank in the Netherlands - to the representative so the money could be deposited by wire transfer. He insisted, authorities said, on a written contract from Holloway.
That contract was faxed to Holloway and signed.
On April 15, 2010, Holloway wired $100 from Regions Bank in Birmingham to confirm the account was valid.
On May 10, 2010, charging documents show, the Holloway representative flew to Aruba to me with van der Sloot.
Before the representative left, Holloway wired $10,000 to the representative in New York so that he could withdraw the money and have cash available when he met with Van der Sloot.

Friday, June 9th:
*Arraignment Hearing (@ 11am CT) - AL - U.S. Federal (case) - For crimes of extortion ($250K) & wire fraud against Elizabeth (Beth) Ann Holloway. *Joran Andreas Petrus Van Der Sloot (23 @ time of crime/35) being federally indicted & charged (7/30/10) with extortion & wire fraud after he allegedly tried to sell information regarding the location of Natalee's body to Beth Holloway. Van der Sloot allegedly asked for a total of $250K for the information, with $25K to be paid up front & the rest being paid when Natalee's remains were positively identified in Aruba. She was officially declared dead by Alabama courts on Jan. 12, 2012.
Van der Sloot is serving 28 years in a Peruvian prison for the murder of Stephany Flores. Has served 10 years as of 2/17/23. Van der Sloot was sentenced (1/10/23) to another 18 years for drug smuggling, New sentence means he will remain in jail until 2045. Another article says release date is June, 2038.
Alabama: Federal Judge Karon Bowdre recused herself from the case on Wednesday, 5/17/23 & Judge Anna Manasco was assigned to the case. Court hearings will take place in Birmingham, Alabama in Jefferson County.

6/6/23 Additional Update: According to court documents the petition challenges the temporary transfer of van der Sloot from a Peru prison to the US. Lawyer Maximo Altez argued for the cessation of the transfer due to a reported lack of official notification. The petition reportedly contradicts Altez’s previous statements made on May 3, where he indicated that van der Sloot had agreed to the transfer & was not expected to file a habeas corpus application. Van der Sloot is currently held at the Ancón 1 prison in Peru & is expected to be handed over to US authorities later this week. van der Sloot has lost his extradition appeal & will be sent to the U.S., according to the Peruvian Supreme Court. The Superior Court in Lima, Peru, ordered Van der Sloot be handed over to FBI agents on Thursday, 6/8/23 according to a statement published on social media on Tuesday. “With this resolution, the Judge has completed procedures for the transfer (passive extradition) of Van Der Sloot, who will be prosecuted in the United States of America for the alleged crimes of extortion & fraud against Elizabeth Ann Holloway,” the statement concludes. The FBI plane carrying van der Sloot has landed at the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport @ 2:20pm 6/8/23.
6/8/23 Update: Arraignment hearing on 6/9/23 @ 11am in Federal Count in Birmingham. He is being held in the Hoover City Jail, He will stay here until he is tried & once he is convicted, which I believe he will be, he will stay here until he is sentenced. The moment he is sentenced though, he is sent back to Peru to serve out the remainder of his murder sentence down there, which if he is not paroled or released early, that is 2040. When he is released from the Peruvian prison, he is then extradited back to the United States, to a Bureau of Prisons facility.” If convicted of both charges, van der Sloot faces a maximum sentence of 50 years.

“I assume he is going to plead not guilty, and request a trial,” Birmingham Defense Attorney Roger Appell said. "He doesn’t have anything to lose in his mind, so I believe he will force this to trial.”

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Joran van der Sloot is being held in the Hoover City Jail, after arriving at the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport on Thursday, June 8, around 2 p.m. He was extradited back to Alabama, from Peru, on federal extortion charges.
van der Sloot is set to appear at the federal courthouse in Birmingham on June 9, at 11a.m. Legal experts tell WBRC that he will plead ‘not guilty’ during the arraignment, which is standard practice in federal court. He will be presented his charges, of one count wire fraud, and one count of extortion. He can plead guilty at a later date, after the arraignment, but experts are expecting this case to go to trial.
