According to an unidentified investigator from Aruba, where the disappearance occurred, it has always been suspected that Holloway’s body may have been disposed of on a boat. However, establishing who would have taken Van der Sloot out on the water remains crucial.
The investigator explained, “He and his father didn’t have a boat of their own.”
While officials have been unable to corroborate this theory, Van der Sloot himself has previously claimed to have dumped Holloway’s body at sea.
In a hidden camera interview with Dutch journalists in 2008, he allegedly confessed to Holloway having a seizure during their sexual encounter on the beach, resulting in her death. Van der Sloot then claimed to have called a friend named Daury to assist in loading her onto a boat and disposing of her remains. However, he later admitted to lying in subsequent years.
