Sorry about that. I hope they catch him, quickly.

Joran van der Sloot Found Dead, Apparent Suicide?

Update: The latest at top - he appears to be in northern Chile, possibly headed for Argentina. It's unclear if the blood splatter in the room was from a beating, or a stabbing. One item I found alleges Stephany Flores Ramirez, age 21, was stabbed. But I'm not seeing confirmation of that.

Update via Twitter: van der Sloot story has been pulled from FR. Sorry if I mislead you.

That's why I posted it with the question mark. Oh well, too bad. There's still hope, or maybe it'll give him an idea.

BREAKING NEWS: Some reports say that Joran van der Sloot, longtime suspect in the disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway five years ago and prime suspect of the brutal stabbing death days ago of 21-year-old Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramirez, has been found dead near the Peru border after allegedly committing suicide.
