The Case Of Jodi Arias, Victim Or Killer?

Natalee Ann Holloway was an American teenager who went missing on May 30, 2005. She had recently graduated high school, and was on a graduation trip to Aruba in the Caribbean. The last person to be seen with Natalee was Joran Van der Sloot, a dutch already convicted of killing Stephany Flores' Ramirez years earlier, and many leads have led Aruban police to believe that he killed Holloway. However, the details aren't concrete. Even though no arrests have been made connected to the kidnapping or murder of Natalee Holloway, detailed evidence proves that Joran van der Sloot killed Holloway and disposed of her body to cover up the crime.

After returning to his home, Josh was seen thoroughly cleaning his car and items in his house. Additionally, during his police interviews, he showed no urgency to help the officers locate his missing wife and never asked questions about what was being done to find her. This odd behavior continued even after he was released by the police, for he rented a car and drove 807 miles, disappearing for 18 hours. Then, when family and friends began setting up events like a candlelight vigil and search initiatives, Josh rarely ever showed up or tried to get involved. It is extremely odd behavior for Josh to show little interest or involvement in searching for his missing wife and the mother of his kids if he had nothing to do with her disappearance.
