Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, is expected to take a plea deal after being charged in an extortion plot involving the Holloway family.

Natalee Holloway was 18 years old when she took a senior trip to Aruba in May 2005 with Mountain Brook High School. Natalee Holloway was last seen leaving a bar with van der Sloot, but she was never found. In January 2012, a judge legally declared Natalee Holloway dead after a request from her father.

Van der Sloot is facing charges of extortion and wire fraud in the U.S. after allegedly attempting to sell Beth Holloway, Natalee's mother, information about the location of her daughter's body.

Beth Holloway's lawyer, John Q. Kelly, now tells Fox News Digital that van der Sloot is expected to take a plea deal, which is conditioned on him releasing details on how Natalee Holloway died and what happened to her body.

The lawyer also told Fox News Digital that the search for Natalee Holloway's body is over.

"It [the plea agreement] was conditioned upon Mr. van der Sloot revealing details of how Natalee died and how her body was disposed of," Kelly first told "Today."

A plea and sentencing hearing is scheduled for van der Sloot on Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. in a Birmingham, Alabama, federal courtroom.

According to federal prosecutors, van der Sloot tried to extort the family for $250,000 – $25,000 upfront for the information and the rest to be paid once Natalee Holloway's body was positively identified.

However, van der Sloot lied to Beth Holloway about where her daughter's remains were located, according to U.S. prosecutors. The alleged extortion scheme took place between March 29, 2010, and May 17, 2010. He pleaded not guilty to the charges after a June hearing when he was temporarily transferred from Peru to the United States.

Beth Holloway is expected to give a statement following Wednesday's hearing.

Van der Sloot then traveled to Peru and met Stephany Flores, 21, at a Lima casino owned by her father. Van der Sloot admitted to killing Flores, saying he murdered her on May 30, 2010, in a fit of anger after the 21-year-old found out he was connected to Natalee Holloway's disappearance.

The charges were filed by federal prosecutors in 2010, but Peruvian officials didn't agree to release van der Sloot into American custody until May this year.

He was originally sentenced to 28 years in prison for killing Flores, but more time was added because of a drug smuggling scandal in which he was involved while behind bars.

Once van der Sloot's federal case concludes, he will head back to Peru to finish his sentence for murdering Flores. After finishing his sentence in Peru, van der Sloot would then come to an American prison, if convicted.

Torture isn't cool... but I'd say trying to extort a family for information about their dead daughter's body might be an exception to the rule.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – In 3 minutes and 45 seconds, Joran van der Sloot revealed he brutally attacked Alabama 18-year-old Natalee Holloway on a beach in Aruba in 2005 after she refused his sexual advances.

He tried to force her into sex, she fought back, and he killed her.

He said he kicked Holloway in the face "extremely hard." The blow may have killed her, he said, or at least knocked her unconscious.

However, his next move was to pick up a cinderblock he found in the sand and crush her skull.

"[She] tells me she doesn't want me to feel her up," says the Dutchman, who speaks fluent English. "Uh, I insist. I keep feeling her up either way, and she knees me. She ends up kneeing me in the crotch."

In his own words, recorded in an Oct. 3 interview, he revealed he grew angry with her resistance, grabbed "a huge cinderblock" and "smash her head in with it completely."

"Her face basically, you know, collapses in," he added. "Even though it's dark, I can see her face is collapsed in."

After that, he said he dragged her in until he was about knees deep and pushed her off into the sea. Then, he said, he walked home.

At that point, according to an interview with Holloway's mother, he watched some porn. "How could he have murdered her, and then he goes home and checks the soccer scores, gets on a porn site, gets up takes a shower and goes to school," she told NBC News.

Holloway went missing during a senior trip to Aruba in May 2005 with high school classmates from Mountain Brook, a suburb of Birmingham, and was last seen exiting a bar with van der Sloot.

The killer has offered shifting explanations for Holloway's final hours over the years, including that he shoved her into a rock, causing a head injury. He has also claimed that his father, a prominent judge who died in 2010, helped hide the body.

In the new confession, he said he was alone, two friends who had been with him earlier that night had left before the attack, and he made no mention of his influential dad.

"You have brutally murdered, in separate incidents, years apart, two young women who refused your sexual advances," Judge Anna Manasco told van der Sloot in court, referencing an unrelated murder of another woman as van der Sloot pleaded guilty to extortion and wire fraud charges for conning Holloway's mom out of $25,000 in 2010.

Manasco called the extortion and fraud charges "heinous" because the killer gave false hope to the family that Holloway's remains might be found. They never were.

"After 18 years, Natalee’s case has been solved," Holloway's mother told reporters outside the courthouse immediately after the hearing. "Joran van der Sloot is the killer."

Van der Sloot has also admitted to killing Stephany Flores on May 30, 2010 – five years to the day after Holloway was last seen alive.
