Dushy van der Sloot, the couple’s daughter, was born on September 28, 2014.
Uceda was seven months pregnant with Dushy when they married, according to sources.
Van der Sloot escaped to Chile following the murder of Flores on 30 May 2010 — five years to the day after Holloway’s abduction — and was captured and deported back to Peru for questioning about the murder.

On June 7, 2010, he admitted to bludgeoning Flores.
He later attempted to legally revoke his confession, claiming that the Peruvian police had intimidated him and that he had been framed by the FBI.
On June 25, 2010, a Peruvian judge concluded that the confession was legitimate, and on January 13, 2012, Van der Sloot was sentenced to 28 years in jail for Flores’ murder.
In January 2023, he was sentenced to an extra 18 years in jail for cocaine trafficking.
Holloway’s mother revealed in a statement on May 10, 2023, that Van der Sloot will be extradited to the United States.
