Van der Sloot victim video. This photo is from the hotel's camera and shows Joran van der Sloot exiting the room with Stephany Flores left inside. The video reveals both the suspect and Stephany Flores entering the room which became the murder scene.
"He speaks Spanish fluently and we took a statement from him in Spanish, where he denies any involvement and the charges brought against him," Chilean Investigative Police Officer Fernando Ovalle Gatica said in a statement. "Naturally, he needs to face the murder that took place here and if the courts find him responsible for that murder, he will have to fulfill his sentence here," President Alan Garcia said in a statement. "Don't worry, this murderer will pay. He will pay for what he's done," Stephany's father Ricardo Flores said.
What makes this murder investigation sealed tight is that the video evidence shows Joran van der Sloot entering and leaving the scene. More compelling, is that it just happened to be the fifth anniversary Natalie Holloway's disappearance, to the day. This is why investigators believe the suspect is a serial killer, and if so, there could be more cases involved.
When Van der Sloot left the hotel room, he told the desk attendant, "Don't bother my girl," and was never seen again. For those to believe he is guilty of Holloway's murder, the prison in Peru, isn't so great. Sources say that he's in a dirty jail cell with screaming sounds from other inmates that occur 24 hours a day.
Describe the last person you saw when you walked out of the supermarket yesterday. I can't either....
Is CNN in Peru yet???
Sean Penn, of course.
I would think so! Only an idiot would proceed like he did if he knew they were there.
I hope his “dance card is filled” every night he spends in prison.
The irony here is that he would have been far better off copping a plea in Aruba for Holloway’s death. Getting away with that one only helped ensure that he’d meet a tougher form of justice in the end.
Wow — you beat me to it. LOL.
Let's pile on and add real insult to injury... Ben Affleck...
Yes, but he strikes me as one of those guys who believes he can get away with anything, pull the wool over anyone’s eyes, just lie, lie, lie...
All of a sudden I can’t remember if I am talking about Vander Sloat or Barack Obama.
While that might be more satisfying in the long run, don't they have the death penalty? Why should the Peruvian taxpayers pay to support his sorry ash, no matter how badly, for 20 years or more?
No, they don’t have the death penalty for murder, only treason.
Now, in this case , even if he got 5 years, I would say it is a death penalty.
Too bad Anthony Perkins (”Psycho”) isn’t still young. He would be perfect as the role of Van Der Sloot
They aren’t going to be supporting him.
From what I saw on Nat Geo, you get provided one bowl of dirty rice per day prepared in an unsanitary kitchen. Anything else you need must be bought with money obtained from outside the prison, you must also pay rent to the gang that runs your cell block, and all sorts of other fun things like that.
Beyond that, he’s twenty two, he’s a gringo, his family cut him off, his dad is dead, and he is low on money and needs good lawyer very badly.
In other words, I think he’s done for.
Anthony Perkins:
Died September 12, 1992 (aged 60)
A movie? This is for real.
That would be 3 things that are "out of order".
Did you notice the strange smile he gave the guy when handed the key to the room? Eeeery! And she just shuffled all the way to the room with her head down like she was out of it.
Let's pile on and add real insult to injury... Ben Affleck...
Actually, except for his height, he has a strong resemblance to Matt Damon...
As far as being in the Peruvian jail, money from his mother and/or his family in Holland can make life a little easier for her son.
The way the Peruvian jails are run (right out of the Dark Ages, btw) is that prisoners with cash can buy food and other comforts, plus, in many cases, protection.
As heinous as he is, I doubt the authorities will not allow anything bad such as rape to happen to their extremely high-profile boarder. I would rather imagine that Peru, as a country, doesn't need or want to appear primitive or barbaric.
Van der Sloot will not have a bed of roses by any means, but he will be shielded in some way or another from being beaten, raped or murdered.....despite all the pre-trial babbling, speculation, and hoping to the contrary.
