  • Natalee Holloway: Latest Van Der Sloot Confession “Meaningless”, Attempt At A “Quick Buck”

    Natalee Holloway: Latest Van Der Sloot Confession “Meaningless”, Attempt At A “Quick Buck”

    Natalee Holloway may never be found and much of the blame for that likely rests on Joran van der Sloot.

    Joran van der Sloot was a Dutch teenager living in Aruba in 2005 when Natalee Holloway disappeared on a school trip. He was the last person to see her alive and the long-time suspect in her disappearance.

    Over the years, van der Sloot has made many a confession about where Natalee Holloway is. He has “confessed” that he left her on the beach and she was just fine. He has also said that she died of a drug overdose and he and a friend dumped her body into the ocean.

    One other “confession” stated that he hid Natalee Holloway’s body in some marshes on the island.

    This week, there was yet another so-called confession by Joran van der Sloot that he had, indeed, killed Natalee Holloway.

    This time, he was recorded admitting his guilt from a prison cell in Peru where he is serving time for murdering a 21-year-old woman in 2010.

    The recording was supposedly made by an undercover journalist from the tabloids Radar Online and National Enquirer during a visit with van der Sloot’s wife, Leidy.

    On the tape, Joran van der Sloot says in Dutch, “When I was younger, I never told everything. The police just never knew what they had to ask me.”

    When asked by the undercover reporter if he was referring to the Holloway case, van der Sloot said, “Yes, this is also where I am guilty and I accept everything that I have done.”

    He later added, “I never told the truth.”

    Natalee Holloway’s father isn’t getting to excited about it.

    He said, “They think they’ve got something when they really don’t. A lot of people don’t realize that in Aruba, a verbal or recorded confession is not valid, unless it’s a statement signed in writing.”

    He added, “Tabloids will pay for [his story] because it sells magazines, but that’s never printed.”

    A lawyer for Natalee Holloway’s mother also dismissed the supposed confession, saying, “It’s no secret video. He’s looking directly into the camera when he speaks and I would venture a guess that its either a cellmate or a guard who is filming for Joran and selling it and splitting the proceeds with Joran.”

    He added, “This is how he operates. There’s no way he’s confessing out of the blue to some random person with his wife sitting there. This was for a quick buck. It was all planned and absolutely meaningless.”

    What do you think of Joran van der Sloot’s latest confession regarding Natalee Holloway?

  • Natalee Holloway: Father Disgusted By New Joran van der Sloot Alleged Confession

    Natalee Holloway: Father Disgusted By New Joran van der Sloot Alleged Confession

    Natalee Holloway disappeared while on a senior class trip to Aruba back in 2005. She was just 18 years old. The only suspect in her disappearance, Joran van der Sloot, was recorded by an undercover journalist in recent days, supposedly once again confessing to killing Natalee Holloway.

    Dave Holloway isn’t impressed. In an interview with the Huffington Post, he said earlier this week that van der Sloot’s words amount to nothing more than a publicity stunt.

    “They think they’ve got something when they really don’t,” he said. “A lot of people don’t realize that in Aruba, a verbal or recorded confession is not valid unless it’s a statement signed in writing.

    “Tabloids will pay for [his story] because it sells magazines, but that’s never printed,” Holloway added.

    “I always lied to the police. I never told the truth,” Joran van der Sloot said in this latest confession, when asked if he had anything to do with the Natalee Holloway murder. “Also, when I was younger, I never told everything. The police just never knew what they had to ask me.”

    It’s likely van der Sloot will be extradited to the United States on extortion charges once he completes his sentence in Peru. He is presently incarcerated for the murder of 21-year-old Peruvian Stephany Flores Ramirez, who he killed five years to the day after Natalee Holloway’s disappearance.

    Prosecutors alleged Joran Van der Sloot accepted $25,000 in cash from Beth Holloway in exchange for a promise to lead a lawyer for the family to Natalee Holloway’s body in early 2010, just before he went to Peru.

    Dave Holloway would no doubt love to believe nothing more than an honest confession from Joran van der Sloot, as well as a location as to where his daughter’s body might be found.

    Unfortunately van der Sloot has proven himself nothing more than a psychopathic liar. Natalee Holloway’s family will likely never receive justice for their daughter’s disappearance and likely murder, nor will they ever learn the truth from van der Sloot about what really happened to their daughter.

  • Joran van der Sloot: So-Called Confession Publicity Stunt According to Natalee Holloway’s Dad

    Joran van der Sloot: So-Called Confession Publicity Stunt According to Natalee Holloway’s Dad

    Joran van der Sloot, the only suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, made a recorded confession in his jail cell in Peru, where he is serving a 28-year sentence for murdering 21-year-old Peruvian Stephany Flores Ramirez. Someone working for both RadarOnline and The Enquirer obtained the alleged confession.

    “I always lied to the police. I never told the truth,” Joran van der Sloot said. “Also, when I was younger, I never told everything. The police just never knew what they had to ask me.”

    In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Natalee Holloway’s father, Dave Holloway, says Joran van der Sloot’s so-called confession is nothing but a publicity stunt.

    “They think they’ve got something when they really don’t,” he said. “A lot of people don’t realize that in Aruba, a verbal or recorded confession is not valid unless it’s a statement signed in writing.

    “Tabloids will pay for [his story] because it sells magazines, but that’s never printed,” Holloway added.

    Natalee Holloway was on a high school senior trip in 2005 when she disappeared. She was last seen leaving a bar with Joran van der Sloot. She was just 18 years old.

    Joran Van der Sloot could eventually face extradition to the United States, where he could face charges that allege he extorted and defrauded Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth–but that can’t take place until 2038, when he completes his sentence in Peru. In 2014 U.S. prosecutors alleged that Joran van der Sloot accepted $25,000 in cash from Beth Holloway in exchange for a promise to lead a family lawyer to Natalee Holloway’s body in early 2010, just before he left Aruba for Peru.

    It’s interesting to note that Joran van der Sloot murdered Stephany Flores Ramirez five years to the day after Natalee Holloway disappeared.

    “We’ve still got a long way to go to get justice,” Dave Holloway says.

    Do you believe Joran van der Sloot will ever be brought to justice? Will Beth and Dave Holloway ever find out what really happened to their daughter?

    Joran van der Sloot has a habit of concocting scenarios about what happened to Natalee Holloway and issuing these “confessions.” He is a conniving murderer who treats the Natalee Holloway disappearance as some sort of sick game.

  • Natalee Holloway: Father Says Joran van der Sloot’s Recent Confession is a Publicity Stunt

    Natalee Holloway: Father Says Joran van der Sloot’s Recent Confession is a Publicity Stunt

    Natalee Holloway’s alleged killer, Joran van der Sloot, made an apparent recorded confession in his jail cell in Peru, where he is serving a 28-year sentence for murdering 21-year-old Peruvian Stephany Flores Ramirez. It was in a video shot by someone working for both RadarOnline and The Enquirer that van der Sloot allegedly confessed.

    “I always lied to the police. I never told the truth,” van der Sloot said. “Also, when I was younger, I never told everything. The police just never knew what they had to ask me.”

    In an interview with the Huffington Post, Natalee Holloway’s father, Dave Holloway, says van der Sloot’s so-called confession is nothing but a publicity stunt.

    “They think they’ve got something when they really don’t,” he said. “A lot of people don’t realize that in Aruba, a verbal or recorded confession is not valid unless it’s a statement signed in writing.

    “Tabloids will pay for [his story] because it sells magazines, but that’s never printed,” Dave Holloway added.

    Natalee Holloway was just 18 when she disappeared in Aruba from a high school senior trip in 2005. She was last seen leaving a bar with Joran van der Sloot.

    Joran Van der Sloot could be extradited to the U.S. to face charges that allege he extorted and defrauded Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth–but it wouldn’t be until 2038, when he completes his sentence in Peru. In 2014 U.S. prosecutors alleged that Van der Sloot accepted $25,000 in cash from Beth Holloway in exchange for a promise to lead a lawyer for the family to Natalee Holloway’s body in early 2010, just before he went to Peru.

    Incidentally, Joran van der Sloot murdered Stephany Flores Ramirez five years to the day after Natalee Holloway disappeared.

    “We’ve still got a long way to go to get justice,” Dave Holloway says.

    It would do not only Natalee Holloway’s parents good to see Joran van der Sloot jailed for something even remotely pertaining to their case, it would please most Americans, too. It’s clear he is a very clever criminal, and will likely never tell the truth about what he allegedly did to Natalee Holloway.

    The devastation Dave and Beth Holloway have endured since Natalee’s disappearance in the past 11 years is unthinkable. Seeing them get even a tiny shred of justice would please a lot of people.

  • Natalee Holloway: Father Says Witness Is Telling The Truth

    Natalee Holloway disappeared ten years ago while on a graduation trip to Aruba, and her family has never stopped searching for her remains in the hopes that they will bring her killer to justice. Recently, a new witness came forward with information about Holloway’s last moments on Earth, and although Aruba’s Chief Prosecutor Eric Olthof says his story can be discredited, Natalee’s father says he believes he’s telling the truth.

    Jurrien De Jong contacted Dave Holloway several years ago with his story, saying he witnessed Joran van der Sloot–the young man last seen in public with Natalee–go into a restricted area of construction near a Mariott Hotel with Natalee. Joran emerged sometime later carrying Natalee’s body, and took her beneath a crawlspace, where he presumably buried her. He came back out alone.

    “He says that a car pulls up and Joran and Natalee get out of the vehicle. This is on May 30, (2005) and this vehicle pulls into the parking lot at the Marriott hotel, and you can see a construction site and you can see the Holiday Inn … and this area is enclosed with a chained fence. He says that Natalee says, “Well the gate’s locked,” and (van der Sloot) says something about, “Well I know a trick,” and somehow he, I guess, unwraps the chain and they go in …” Dave Holloway says of his conversation with De Jong. “Then he sees them go across the construction site, and they get up on the platform, which I presume to be the foundation of the Spyglass Tower, and they run up to an area that’s got half of a stairway built and they go up that and he loses sight of them. Then, approximately five minutes later he says they emerge with Joran carrying Natalee in his arms and apparently he knew that she was not living. He put her down on the concrete slab and then jumped down off of it and put her body down on the ground and then went and dug an opening under the slab and then put her body in it and then covered it back up and walked out.”

    Joran van der Sloot–who is currently in prison after being convicted of a murder unconnected to Natalee–told investigators that he did leave a club with Holloway the last night she was seen, but that he left her on a beach.

    The issue prosecutors have with the story is that the Mariott wasn’t under construction at that time, but Dave Holloway says he knows that it was. The area wasn’t searched in the beginning stages of the investigation because everyone assumed it was locked up at all times and would have been inaccessible to the murderer.

    “I can tell you for a fact. I was there on June 1, and there was definitely construction in that area. June 1, 2005, because it was all chained up. And that’s one of the areas we never searched because we assumed it’s locked up and secured at all times, and they have construction workers there on site,” Holloway said.

    It’s unclear what this will do for the investigation, or how difficult it would be to search the area for Natalee Holloway’s remains now that it’s been built up. Jurrien De Jong says he waited so long to come forward to police with his story because he was involved in illegal activity at the time.

  • Natalee Holloway Witness Can’t Be Telling The Truth, Says Prosecutor

    Natalee Holloway disappeared during a graduation trip to Aruba in 2005, and since then her family has spent countless hours and money trying to figure out what happened to her. Joran van der Sloot, a young man who was seen with Natalee during the trip, has long been a suspect, but without a body it has been difficult for investigators to pin the blame on anyone. Now, a man who says he was a witness to Natalee’s death has come forward with a story involving Joran van der Sloot, but prosecutors say it can’t possibly be true.

    Jurrien De Jong says he saw van der Sloot chase Holloway into an area that was under construction, and later he emerged with her body in his arms before taking her into a crawl space. De Jong says he knew she was dead when van der Sloot dropped her body on the ground, but he didn’t come forward with his story at the time because he was involved in illegal activities.

    “I saw Natalee Holloway on the last night that she was alive. I was the eyewitness. I knew she was dead,” he said.

    But Aruba’s Chief Prosecutor Eric Olthof says it can’t be the way De Jong remembers, because the area–confirmed to be the Spyglass Tower at Marriott’s Aruba Surf Club Resort–wasn’t under construction in 2005.

    “It becomes indisputably clear that on the 30th of May 2005, no construction or building activities were started at the location that Mr. De Jong has specifically pointed out as the spot where Natalee Holloway would have been hidden and/or buried,” the prosecutor said in a statement.

    However, Holloway’s father says he has been in contact with De Jong for quite a while and had a private investigator call the man using a voice analysis tool.

    “He called me back a day or so later and said, ‘look Dave. This guy is telling the truth,’” said Holloway.

    Investigators say they don’t believe there’s reason to search in that area for Natalee’s remains, but her father says he doesn’t understand why any tip would go unheeded.

    “For them to indicate that they will make their decision in a month or two kind of tells me that they have no intentions of doing it. Simply to not do it, they need to give me a reason. A very good reason,” Holloway said.

  • Joran Van Der Sloot Says Eyewitness To Natalee Halloway’s Murder Is A ‘Crackhead’

    It seems that the Natalee Holloway’s case has reached another dead end as Aruba’s prosecutor dismissed an eyewitness’ claims that he saw Joran van der Sloot kill the American teenager.

    The claims were made last week by Jurrien De Jong, a new witness who alleged that he saw primary suspect Joran van der Sloot chase Holloway into a building before hiding her body in a crawl space.

    The allegations were enough to drive Aruban authorities to look into the case again. It also prompted Holloway’s father to return to Aruba with a private investigator and a cadaver dog to follow up the lead.

    But a statement released by the office of Aruba’s Chief Prosecutor Eric Olthof debunks De Jong’s testimony.

    The Prosecutor’s office requested for information regarding the Marriott hotel’s Spyglass Tower construction site at the alleged time frame, specifically “what was built and what was not yet built” on the night of Holloway’s disappearance.

    Based on the information provided “it becomes indisputably clear that on the 30th of May 2005, no construction or building activities were started at the location that Mr. De Jong has specifically pointed out as the spot where Natalee Holloway would have been hidden and/or buried.”

    In short, the missing teenager could not have been hidden or buried on the site.

    Joran van der Sloot has also spoken out against De Jong, calling him “a crackhead, a f***ing liar, a compulsive liar.”

    Van der Sloot, who’s serving time in a Peruvian prison for the murder of another young woman, told his lawyer that he knows De Jong as “someone who sold drugs in Aruba to all of his friends.”

    Maximo Altez, van der Sloot’s lawyer, also said his client is advising the Holloways to disregard De Jong’s statement.

    “You know the mind of a crackhead, he’ll do anything to get money, and that’s all he wants,” Altez said. “You shouldn’t waste your time listening to him.”

  • Natalee Holloway: Dad Pursues New Lead in Hunt for Her Body in Aruba

    Natalee Holloway disappeared while on a school trip in Aruba back in May of 2005. She was just 18 years old. Joran van der Sloot has long been suspected of murdering the pretty blonde teenager from Alabama. He even confessed to it.

    Joran van der Sloot has a penchant for lying, however, and has led investigators–and the family of Natalee Holloway–on wild goose chases countless times. He is presently serving a prison sentence in Peru for the 2010 murder of another young woman.

    Now–nine years after Natalee Holloway’s disappearance–her father, Dave Holloway, has returned to Aruba to pursue a new lead that he hopes will result in finding his daughter’s body.

    Fox News reports that island resident Jurrien de Jong has come forward–after nine years– and told the syndicated TV program Inside Edition that he was an eyewitness to what happened to Natalee Holloway.

    The biggest question here is why did he wait so long?

    “I saw Natalee Holloway on the last night she was alive,” he said. “I was the eyewitness.”

    “I saw that Joran was chasing Natalee into a small building under construction,” De Jong continued. “In about five minutes he came out with Natalee in his arms, and slammed the body of Natalee on the floor, and then he made an opening in a crawl space… I knew she was dead.”

    Dave Holloway now has an investigator and a cadaver dog in his employ, and will soon set out to see if De Jong’s claims have any merit.

    Joran van der Sloot has claimed to have left a drunken Natalee Holloway alone on a beach. On hidden camera he confessed to killing her. He once even told Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren that he sold Natalee Holloway into slavery. van der Sloot was also charged with trying to extort $250,000 from Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth Holloway, by claiming he could lead her to her daughter’s remains.

    De Jong told the distraught father what he knew last year, and also told the same to a Dutch newspaper, Algemeen Dagblad.

    Will Jurrien de Jong’s claims lead a tired, heartbroken, and discouraged father to his daughter’s remains? Will Dave and Beth Holloway–who divorced several years before their daughter went missing–finally be able to lay Natalee Holloway to rest?

    No one expects Natalee Holloway is alive–at least not many people do. It would no doubt give her family some peace to properly inter her remains.

  • Natalee Holloway: New Witness Comes Forward With Shocking Claims About Her Disappearance

    A decade after her disappearance, Natalee Holloway’s family might finally get some closure as a new witness claims he saw what happened to the teenager.

    The witness, Jurrien De Jong, has come forward with shocking claims that he saw the 18-year-old Holloway on the last night she was alive.

    De Jong told Inside Edition that he saw suspect Joran van der Sloot carrying her body on the night she vanished.

    Jurrien De Jong claims he saw Joran Van Der Sloot chase Natalee Halloway on the last night she was alive

    “I saw that Joran was chasing Natalee into a small building under construction,” De Jong described. “In about five minutes he came out with Natalee in his arms, and slammed the body of Natalee on the floor, and then he made an opening in a crawl space.”

    “I knew she was dead,” he concluded.

    Joran van der Sloot has always been the primary suspect in the case and was even arrested twice but never charged.

    The suspect, who was 17 at the time that Holloway disappeared, is currently serving time in a Peruvian prison for the murder of Stephany Flores, a college student.

    He still denies any wrongdoing in connection to Holloway’s disappearance.

    But why did it take De Jong 10 years to gather the nerve to come forward?

    De Jong says that he didn’t go to the police at the time because he was involved in some illegal activities. But he decided to reveal what he saw after watching a TV report where van der Sloot confessed that Holloway was buried at sea.

    It’s a claim that De Jong vehemently says is a lie based on what he saw that night.

    Aruba’s prosecutor, Eric Olthof, says that his office is looking into De Jong’s claims and that the investigation might take about two months.

    In the meantime, Holloway’s father Dave has returned to Aruba with a private detective and Inside Edition’s Lisa Guerrero to follow up on the new lead.

  • Joran van der Sloot Getting Married in Peru Prison

    Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch national presently serving a 28-year prison sentence for murder in Peru, plans to be married in lockup and is expecting a child. Van der Sloot made international headlines as the prime suspect in the disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway, who vanished in Aruba on May 30, 2005.

    Van der Sloot was never formally charged with murdering Holloway, and her disappearance remains unsolved, but the Dutchman was indicted by a federal grand jury in the United States for wire fraud and extortion related to the teen’s whereabouts. Van der Sloot killed Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramírez on May 30, 2010, five years to the day after Holloway vanished, and is now sitting in a Lima prison for the next couple of decades.

    According to Maximo Altez, van der Sloot’s Peruvian defense attorney, the 26-year-old Dutchman is getting married to Leydi Carol Figueroa Uceda, 23, some time in late May or early June. Altez said, “They met when she was visiting a relative in prison. They became friends and spent a lot of time together in his cell. Unlike The United States, here in Peru loved ones or relatives can see inmates inside their jails.”

    Uceda is expecting a baby boy fathered by van der Sloot, and is five months’ pregnant. Altez added, “He’s very happy about getting married. Since his girlfriend is pregnant, he wants his child to be born to a married couple and he’s anxiously awaiting the day he can get married.” The small, private wedding will be held in a chapel in Piedras Gordas Prison, located in Lima’s Ancon district.

    Here is a glimpse of Piedras Gordas:

    Van der Sloot is scheduled to be released on June 10, 2038, though his prison stint can be reduced considerably for good behavior. Some have speculated that the marriage might be a maneuver to avoid extradition to the United States once his Peruvian sentence ends. Altez commented, “He’s getting married because he’s in love and is having a child. There are no hidden agendas.” Van der Sloot is presently teaching English to other inmates to pass his time.

    As for Uceda, her attraction to a convicted killer might be tied to hybristophilia, also known a “Bonnie and Clyde Syndrome,” which is a paraphilia of the predatory type in which sexual arousal, facilitation, and attainment of orgasm are responsive to and contingent upon being with a partner known to have committed an outrage, cheating, lying, known infidelities or crime, such as rape, murder, or armed robbery.

  • Joran Van Der Sloot: Marriage, Becoming A Father

    Joran van der Sloot is full of surprises and just when you thought he couldn’t do anything more shocking than what he has already done, he announces that he will soon be a father and will be getting married in prison.

    Van der Sloot is currently incarcerated for murdering a woman in a Lima hotel room in 2010. He is also the main suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005.

    While van der Sloot’s shocking actions appalled some, many women fell head over heels for the criminal and started writing him love letters and even asking him to date them. The woman he plans to marry is named Leidy Figueroa and she is from Lima. Figueroa also recently revealed that she is pregnant with van der Sloot’s child and is due in September.

    Figueroa met van der Sloot while visiting another inmate back in 2010. After they met, Figueroa claims that she fell in love with van der Sloot and began visiting him twice a week. She bought a home close to the prison so she can visit more often and says that she always brings her fiancé home cooked meals whenever she visits him.

    Figueroa is aware of van der Sloot’s murder charge and past but says that he has changed into a different person and that she is not afraid of him. Since van der Sloot is currently serving a 28 year prison term, he had to have his attorney buy the engagement ring for his new fiancé.

    Figueroa is currently searching for the perfect wedding dress and trying to obtain a permit to videotape and photograph the ceremony. The prison allows weddings but not receptions.

    Van der Sloot has only served four of his 28-year sentence and once he has served all of it, he will be extradited to the United States where he will be charged with extortion. It is not likely that he will get to see his child grow up.

    What do you think of the wedding and Figueroa’s pregnancy?

  • Joran van der Sloot To Marry This Summer

    Joran van der Sloot is currently serving a 28-year sentence for killing a Peruvian woman, and is also the prime suspect in the disappearance of an American teenage girl. While you would think Joran would be worried about his current legal situation, his is more focused on planning his upcoming wedding.

    Joran met his wife-to-be Leydi Carol Figueroa Uceda while she was visiting one of her relatives at the Piedras Gordas prison where Jordan is being held in Peru. “They met when she was visiting a relative in prison. They became friends and spent a lot of time together in his cell,” Maximo Altez, Jordan’s attorney told CNN. “Unlike The United States, here in Peru loved ones or relatives can see inmates inside their jails.”

    Leydi already has one child, a two-year-old son, and is currently 5 months pregnant with Joran’s baby. “He’s very happy about getting married. Since his girlfriend is pregnant, he wants his child to be born to a married couple and he’s anxiously awaiting the day he can get married,” Altez said.

    In 2010, Joran was convicted of murdering Stephany Flores by strangling and beating her. Apparently, Joran was upset because Stephany asked about Joran’s involvement in Natalee Holloway’s disappearance, in which he was arrested twice for but never convicted.

    Joran is scheduled to be released from prison on June 10, 2038; however, Altez said that he may be able to get out considerably early if he maintains good behavior.

    While some believe that Joran is getting married to avoid extradition, Altez says that is not true at all. “He’s getting married because he’s in love and is having a child. There are no hidden agendas,” Altez said.

  • Joran van der Sloot to Marry Leydi Figueroa Uceda

    Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance and assumed murder of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway back in 2005 in Aruba, will soon marry 22-year-old Leydi Figueroa Uceda, a woman he met while she sold goods in the Peruvian prison in which he is being held on another murder conviction. She is five months pregnant with his child. The two have nearly completed the legal arrangements needed for them to marry while he is in prison.

    van der Sloot is presently serving a 28-year prison sentence for the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores, a student he met in a Lima casino. It is believed that she saw information on his laptop computer that told her exactly who he was and he killed her in a hotel room as a result. This took place five years to the day of Natalee Holloway’s disappearance.

    Once Joran van der Sloot serves his time in Peru he will be extradited to the United States where he will go to trial for extortion. He allegedly took $25,000 from Natalee Holloway’s mother Beth with the promise of leading the woman to her daughter’s remains.

    Is it even possible that Leydi Figueroa Uceda didn’t know who van der Sloot was when she became intimately involved with him in his prison cell? How could that be? His face has been plastered all over the news since Holloway went missing in 2005. This murderer is no doubt charismatic as he has proven he can win over the ladies time and time again.

    What kind of life will Uceda have raising Joran van der Sloot’s baby on her own while he serves out a 28-year sentence and is then extradited to the United States? By the time he has any chance at all of being a free man, this child will be long grown.

    What’s your take on Joran van der Sloot getting married and becoming a father? Is there some underlying scheme behind his most recent actions?

  • Joran Van Der Sloot Will Be Extradited In 2038

    Joran Van Der Sloot Will Be Extradited In 2038

    Joran Van der Sloot will be extradited to the United States in 2038 to face trial on charges of extortion and fraud in the Natalee Hollaway case. Before he can be extradited, he will have to finish out his 28 year term prison sentence in Peru where he murdered a young woman in a hotel room.

    Van der Sloot has been the prime suspect in the murder of Natalee Hollaway for some time now. Nearly five years after Halloway went missing, Van der Sloot took $25,000 from Holloway’s family in exchange for a promise to lead a lawyer for the family to her body in early 2010. He wrote to the family saying,

    “I will do the right thing this situation hurts everyone involved and will continue to do so until it is over. I will take you to Natalee but I do not want it to be known the information came from me. In return I want to receive $250,000,” he wrote to the lawyer.

    He never followed through with his promise and fled to Peru instead, taking the family’s money with him.

    He later wrote another letter to the Holloway family’s attorney saying,

    “Hey, after talking to my lawyer I will not be turning myself in. I did not tell you the truth so the information you have is worthless check it out all you want but it is not true. I will be in trouble if I do tell you the truth or worse my family will be hurt so I really hope this will all come to an end sooner then I think but I also promise I will tell you the truth if there is ever no more threat you have my word. … I’m sorry for making a fool out of you if that is why you think. I think you are a nice man and a man of your word and I am most definitely not. Take care. Joran.”

    While in Peru, on the anniversary of Holloway’s disappearance, a young woman named Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramirez was killed at the Adeli Esmeralda Abad Marchena hotel in Lima, Peru. Peruvian officials named Van der Sloot as the lone suspect in the homicide investigation and he was arrested in Chile several days later.

    Van der Sloot was convicted and sentenced to 28 years imprisonment for the murder on January 13, 2012 and ordered to pay $75,000 to the Flores family.

    The Holloway family and their attorney had hoped that Van der Sloot would be charged in the United States sooner, and were disappointed to find that they would have to wait until 2038.

  • Joran Van der Sloot: Natalee Holloway Suspect to Be Extradited in 26 Years

    Joran Van der Sloot is the primary suspect in the disappearance of American Natalee Holloway from Aruba in May of 2005. Now the Peruvian court system says they will extradite him to the United States–but not for 26 more years. He must finish serving a 28 year sentence that was imposed upon him for the murder of Stephany Flores in 2012. He confessed to murdering the 21-year-old in his Lima hotel room.

    Natalee Holloway was just 18 years old when she disappeared in Aruba while there on a school trip. The teenager’s body was never found and she was declared legally dead in 2012–seven years after her disappearance. Investigators believe Joran Van der Sloot killed Stephany Flores because she discovered something on his computer while in his hotel room that connected him to Natalee Holloway’s disappearance.

    Van der Sloot has been indicted in the U.S for both extortion and wire fraud. He is accused of extorting money from Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, in exchange for offering her information about her daughter’s whereabouts.

    It is reprehensible to think a court system would prevent a murderer from facing a judge about other serious and potentially related crimes. He has been convicted of murder and likely was involved in the death of Natalee Holloway. If he was returned to the United States to face his charges there, who knows what someone might unearth during his questioning? It might be the answer that Natalee Holloway’s family has waited almost seven years for. They know their daughter is dead. They desperately need and deserve some closure.

    Joran Van der Sloot confessed during a hidden camera interview to being involved in the Natalee Holloway case.

    It seems ludicrous that the Peruvian courts won’t send Joran Van der Sloot packing. He wouldn’t get out of his sentence in Peru if he was extradited. He would simply serve it elsewhere.

    Do you think their decision to extradite him in 26 years is a done deal or might there be room for negotiation?

  • Joran Van Der Sloot: Peru Wants Full Sentence Served

    Joran Van Der Sloot: Peru Wants Full Sentence Served

    It was one of the most talked about cases nearly ten years ago: A beautiful blonde teenage girl in an exotic location suddenly vanishes and is never seen again.

    The disappearance of Natalie Holloway remains one of the most heart-breaking cold cases in recent history. The man many felt to be responsible for her death, Joran van der Sloot, was never actually charged.

    He is now wanted in the United States to answer for federal charges including extortion and wire fraud. Allegedly, van der Sloot toyed with the desperate family of Holloway by offering them leads that went nowhere in exchange for money.

    The American Justice system eagerly awaits another crack at the Dutch national, but it’s a wait that will go on for 26 years.

    Peru has told the United States that the 26-year-old will not be extradited until after he serves time for the murder of Stephanie Flores.

    The 21-year-old Peruvian woman was murdered because according to van der Sloot, she had seen something damning on his computer about the Holloway murder case. Whether or not it was evidence of his responsibility remains unclear. Whatever Flores saw, it was enough to make the Dutch national silence the woman forever.

    After killing Flores, van der Sloot stole her valuables, money, credit cards, and van. He then fled across the border into Chile where he was arrested days later.

    The evidence against van der Sloot for the murder of Flores was exceedingly strong, and he eventually confessed to the crime. The Peruvian court system sentenced van der Sloot to 28 years for the murder of Flores in 2012.

    Peru is determined to make him serve every single day for the murder before handing him over to the United States.

    That day may never come as van der Sloot is fighting extradition every step of the way and going to some rather desperate extremes:

    Of course 26 years is a long time, even for a “convict groupie”. There’s nothing to say he won’t be a divorcee when the time comes to extradite.

  • Joran Van Der Sloot To Be Extradited To The U.S. In 2038

    The Peruvian government has agreed to transfer Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch national, to the U.S. after he has served his sentence on a murder conviction in Peru, which will end in 2038. The news was published in one of Peru’s official gazette.

    Van der Sloot is currently serving his sentence in Peru after he was convicted of robbing and murdering Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramirez, a 21-year old Peruvian student that he met in 2010. In 2012, van der Sloot was given a 28-year sentence in prison for the murder charge, just 2 years less than the maximum sentence.

    In the United States, Van der Sloot was indicted on accounts of extortion and wire fraud related to the disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway. United States authorities have accused Van der Sloot of extorting $25,000 from the mother of Holloway. He said that he would give valuable information on the whereabouts of her missing daughter in exchange for the money. The incident happened in 2010, just before Van der Sloot went to Peru.

    Holloway, an Alabama-native, disappeared on May 30, 2005 and she was last seen leaving, Carlos’n Charlie’s, a bar in Aruba, with three men. One of them is said to be Van der Sloot. Holloway was on a trip to the Caribbean with 100 of her classmates to celebrate their high school graduation. Nobody was ever convicted for the crime and Holloway’s body was never found. She was declared dead in 2012 by a judge.

    Investigators believe that Van der Sloot killed Ramirez after she found something related to the disappearance of Holloway on his computer. The murder happened exactly five years after Holloway’s disappearance.

    Van der Sloot has confessed to robbing Ramirez and killing her. He also used the victim’s vehicle in order to leave the country. After the incident, he flew to Chile and was apprehended by the authorities a few days after he arrived.

  • Joran van der Sloot to Marry in Prison

    Joran van der Sloot to Marry in Prison

    Back in 2005, Joran van der Sloot was implicated in the disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway. The American girl was last seen with van der Sloot during a high school graduation trip to Aruba. He was never tried for a crime connected to the disappearance. Last year, van der Sloot was convicted of the murder of a Peruvian woman named Stephany Flores, and sentenced to 28 years in prison. Now, it appears that rumors of van der Sloot’s impending marriage are true.

    According to an Associated Press report, the 25-year-old van der Sloot is planning to wed a Peruvian woman while serving his sentence. If approved by prison officials, the wedding would take place within two weeks.

    Van der Sloot’s lawyer told the AP that his client is “truthfully in love.” In October 2012 it was reported that van der Sloot had impregnated his girlfriend while in prison.

    There is speculation, however, that the marriage is a move to avoid extradition to the U.S. to face extortion charges. Van der Sloot is accused of receiving $25,000 from Natalee Holloway’s mother in 2010, in exchange for information on where Holloway’s body can be found. The information he provided was allegedly false, and a U.S. District Court has since charged him with extortion and wire fraud.

  • Joran van der Sloot’s Girlfriend Is Pregnant

    Joran van der Sloot, who is currently behind bars while awaiting trial, is going to be a father.

    Van der Sloot is accused of first-degree murder in the death of Stefany Flores and is being held in a Peruvian jail, but that didn’t stop him from impregnating his girlfriend, a young woman who has had several unsupervised visits with him. Flores’ father, Ricardo, is shocked that an accused murderer would be given such privileges after signing a confession that he killed Stefany in a crime of passion, pleading “violent emotion”–a charge which could get him just 20 months in jail. Flores has called for an investigation into the conjugal visits.

    Van der Sloot is believed to have murdered 18-year old American Natalie Holloway in 2005, while she was vacationing in Aruba. In fact, he admitted to doing so, then recanted his story. He still faces extortion charges in the U.S. after allegedly trying to get Holloway’s mother to give him $250,000 in exchange for information on where her daughter’s body is.

  • Joran Van Der Sloot Might Be Getting Married Behind Bars

    Joran Van Der Sloot, the man responsible for killing Peruvian student Stephany Flores, is currently spending quite a bit of time behind bars for his heinous crime. In addition to this murder, Van Der Sloot is also the prime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, who went missing after leaving an Oranjestad bar with Joran and two of his associates back in 2005. To this day, Natalee’s body has not been found. To make a long story short, Van Der Sloot isn’t a very nice guy, and he’s going to be spending a lot of time in prison for his actions.

    Despite all of those strikes against him, rumors are currently swirling that Joran is a few steps away from getting married behind bars. Never mind that the guy has a history of butchering women — he’s a catch in someone’s eyes, and they want to make their relationship official. This bizarre little story comes on the heels of reports that Van Der Sloot had fathered a child while behind bars, though his partner in reproduction has publicly stated the child isn’t his. Why in the world anyone would want to help this man breed is beyond my realm of comprehension.

    Although details about the potential marriage are sketchy — his lawyer has stated that he wasn’t hired to deal with Joran’s social commitments — some are speculating this whole wedding nonsense is just an act. The Daily Beast is reporting that Van Der Sloot is looking to have his sentence overturned due to the “poor legal advice” he received upon his arrest. His attorney stated that, since he admitted to the murder, he should have only received 15 years for the crime, as opposed to the 28 he’s serving right now.

    Falling in love with prisoners, regardless of how disturbed or unbalanced they are, is really nothing new. Some women have become so obsessed with their incarcerated Romeos that they’ve lost their jobs, their families, and their friends as a result. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Joran gets proposals from lovesick ladies several times a year.

  • Natalee Holloway Suspect To Be Extradited To U.S.

    Joran Van Der Sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance of American Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005, will soon be extradited to the U.S. to face charges of extortion. He is currently in Peru serving 28 years for the 2010 murder of Stephany Flores, who was stabbed to death in his hotel room. Van Der Sloot confessed to the murder as well as robbery, saying he took cash and the victim’s car in which to escape.

    The 24-year old was the last person to see Natalee Holloway alive and told authorities he would lead them to her body and reveal how she died in exchange for $250,000. He was allegedly given $25,000 by Holloway’s mother, Beth, which he used to travel without revealing any of the promised information. He faces a sentence of 25 years if found guilty of extortion, and the extradition will commence within the next few months.

    But some think the U.S. courts want Van Der Sloot here in the states so that a trial can be held regarding Holloway’s death, which will be difficult since her body has never been found. She has, however, been declared legally dead, and officials believe Van Der Sloot murdered Stephany Flores because she found incriminating evidence on his computer.

    “The key to that is that the U.S. has jurisdiction over anybody, anywhere in the world, who kills or injures a U.S. citizen,” said Michael Griffith, senior partner for the International Legal Defense Council.

    On Van Der Sloot’s future, his Peruvian attorney, Maximo Altez, said, “I think he will be extradited within the next three months. He will go to trial in the United States. Once he is sentenced, he will return to Peru to finish serving his 28 years, and then go back to the States to serve whatever sentence he gets there.”
