BIRMINGHAM, AL (WSFA) - The U. S. government has charged Joran van der Sloot with attempting to receive money in exchange for revealing the location of Natalee Holloway's body. Van der Sloot has long been suspected in the 2005 disappearance of Holloway in Aruba.
Chilean police say they have detained van der Sloot in connection with the murder of a woman in Peru.
Police spokeswoman Macarena Olivares says van der Sloot has been taken into custody in Chile's capital of Santiago. Five years to the date after Holloway disappeared, van der Sloot was the last person seen with a Peruvian woman found dead in a Lima hotel room.
Below is the complaint filed in U. S. District Court.

Don't they also have a Press Releases webpage, too? I wonder why this is filled with errors???
This scum Vander Sloot is going to rot in Peru, I hope.
Freudian slip?

Let’s imagine that you were still stupid and naive...as this Dutch kid tends to suggest...and think that nothing will ever happen to you again. So you’ve got the Holloway family and associates angry but not able to accomplish anything via lawful means. So they sit and watch you...and know your habits...and eventually know that you travel to places where no Dutch jurisdiction will apply. And perhaps...their anger is such...that they can see retribution in a fashion that most of us wouldn’t cross a line in doing. And va der Sloot awakens from some drug episode, to find a dead body in his room...and the necessity to escape as soon as possible.
I’m not suggesting this occurred...but some parts of this story leave you with suspicions. And Peru...isn’t exactly the place you want to be tried for any murder. He’ll never see the light of day...and he’ll never be able to pay anyone off...so he’s got the rest of his life (ever how short) to think about what he may or may not have done with either girl.
I wonder who it was in Alabama who wired him ten grand???
Extrotion. Sounds nasty.
I was thinking the same thing.
Your theory is plausible but the missing girl in Peru came from a good, established family from what I read. But I also read that she knew who Van der Sloot was and all about his background which makes it amazing to me that she would be in his company with anyone other than a platoon of heavily armed cops. But then again, I’m always amazed at the number of decent-appearing women who want to marry unrepetant criminals with a life prison sentence like the Menendez brothers.
There is a God, God does punish sinners, however he does it in his time, which, unfortunately does not coincide with our time. This time we get to see God's punishment.

Maybe you can use this Joran pic I found at a Dutch site.
Yep. I would start looking at where he was when girls started dying or disappearing.
And it was Beth Holloway who was being extorted & gave him the $15,000 so he could afford Peru..What a mess.
I wonder how many women this freak has knocked off.
Maybe Orly Taitz wrote it?
