LIMA, Peru – Police in neighboring Chile are checking hotels for a young Dutchman long suspected in the 2005 disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway who is now being sought in the killing of a woman in Peru.

 

After Peruvian officials announced Wednesday that Joran van der Sloot is the prime suspect in the death of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in a Lima hotel, Chilean police confirmed he had entered their country two days earlier...

Looks like he's fucked this time. Too much evidence. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets re-tried in Aruba after this one. Doesn't matter, I can't imagine a Peruvian prison being all that much fun either.

 

Why can't accused murderers just lay low and quit the game while they're ahead?

 

'Cuz they're serial criminals (murderers), I guess. I answered my own question. :doah:

Are there any other questions you'd like to ask yourself before you go? ;)

 

I remember this story's earlier chapters. Pretty sure there was some testimony against him the first time, and CNN at least seemed to have drawn the conclusion he was guilty and that he was being protected by his dad, who I think is a bigshot D.A. or something in Aruba.

 

The next chapter was that he was caught on video tape in Holland (if I remember right) admitting that he was much more invovled iwth the girl's death than he'd admitted previously. This time authorities in Aruba said there wasn't enough evidence to arrest him. Hm. Falsifying your alibi in a murder case, admitting you were involved on video tape, not enough evidence? OK. (tho he didn't admit to murdering her, just that she died while with him and that it was his friend disposed of the body) In any real country, they'd have both him and the friend back under arrest.

 

Unless dad has some serious Peruvian connections, the boy's fucked this time. At long last. Hooray.

 

p.s. just read the news story: Dad was a judge in Aruba, not D.A., and dad will indeed need to have some serious connections this time since he died in February -- and unless he knows someone who can rescind that status, he's not gonna be nearly as helpful as he was in the last case.

A friend of mine who has seen the insides of both a Peruvian and a Thai prison, says the Thai prison was like a country club compared to the one he visited in Lima.

 

This guy is also wanted in the U.S. on fraud charges that could get him 20 years...if he makes it out of Peruvian custody. Either way, he's gonna be fucked (in some manner).

The father of the woman he is accused of murdering is a bigshot in Peru. Joran ain't going anywhere.

 

Flores, a 48-year-old former race car driver and sometime politician, buried his daughter Thursday in the upscale Jardines de la Paz cemetery accompanied by about 100 mourners. He called on authorities to immediately bring van der Sloot to Peru to face justice.

... and there is a Thai connection.

 

The journalist, Peter de Vries, reported later in 2008 that he had documented van der Sloot recruiting Thai women in Bangkok for sex work in the Netherlands.

Hi,

 

I think that videotape was made by an undercover TV journalist / crime reported, Peter R. de Vries. That guy was also convinced Joran was guilty and he spend quite a bit of time digging around to see if he could proof it.

 

Sanuk!

Correct on all counts. I saw the piece.

 

And, just to ice the cake, Mr. van der Sloot attempted to get $250,000 from someone here stateside for previously-unpublished information about where Natalie Holloway's body was. There is now a US arrest warrant out for him, on the charge of extortion. Story was in today's paper.

 

Stick a fork in him. He's DONE.

Dutch suspect back in Peru to face murder charges

LIMA, Peru – The young Dutchman long suspected in a U.S. teen's Caribbean island disappearance was delivered to Peru on Friday to face charges in the murder of a 21-year-old woman found with her neck broken in his Lima hotel room.

 

Joran van der Sloot told police in Chile  where he was captured on Thursday  that he did not kill Stephany Flores but did say "he met her and at some point they went to a casino," said Fernando Ovalle, a Chilean police spokesman.

 

The girl's father, Ricardo Flores, told The Associated Press that video cameras tracked the couple as they walked before dawn Sunday to van der Sloot's hotel from the casino in Lima's upscale Miraflores district where they met playing poker.

 

He said he doesn't want the death penalty for van der Sloot, only justice. In Peru, murder carries a prison sentence of up to 35 years...
