Infamous accused killer Joran van der Sloot has yet to receive a visit from his own mother as he sits awaiting trial in a Peruvian prison, but an American stranger has made the 5,200-mile round trip to van der Sloot’s prison cell — three times.
Not only that: 55-year-old Florida radiologist Mary Hamer has also helped foot van der Sloot’s legal bills; recorded a CD to raise money for his defense; sent him care packages, and written him missives that some might call love letters, but she insists are more spiritual in nature.
“The more I know Joran, the more I see there’s a beautiful person there,” Hamer told NBC’s Michelle Kosinski ...
It’s a strange case of a middle-aged American divorcee bonding with a 24-year-old who’s one of the most notorious men in the world. Van der Sloot was twice arrested in the sensational case of Natalee Holloway... then in June 2010, he was arrested for the murder of student Stephany Flores in Lima, Peru...
While van der Sloot has been described as anti-social by authorities, he’s downright emotional in the letters he writes to Hamer from his cell at Miguel Castro Castro maximum security prison in Lima.
Hamer showed Kosinski a letter van der Sloot had written her, reading “My Guardian Angel, Mary … I’ve got a tear in my eye as I write this letter… I love you … Joran.”
But Hamer says people shouldn’t misconstrue Joran’s words as amorous.
“He’s hurting, he’s struggling, he’s trying to improve,” she told Kosinski.
Hamer, who said she has spent $20,000 on van der Sloot to date, plans to up that tally by attending court in court in Peru when van der Sloot’s trial for the slaying of Flores begins next month.

Just another old cougar on the prowl.
Every time. You show me a monster, and I’ll show you a woman heading toward him like a moth to a flame.
No fool like an old fool.
I am picturing a short fat single woman with a lot of cats...
Am I wrong?
Reminds me of the creepy lady contingent of FR that supported Slick Willard.
You may find this interesting.
Sad and sick, but interesting.
She needs to see a therapist.
She must be a very sad, lonely and mentally ill woman.
She has a secret wish to be his slain angel but Van da Slut won’t be in his women killing mode anytime soon. Besides he only goes for the younger chicks.
Looked at two pictures of her. One was an airbrushed from her halo-shot and the other was a real time photo. This woman is Bat feces crazy. I would be cautious if I were one of her colleagues or patients. The poor people in Lake City, Florida and Montgomery, Alabama, must be desperate for radiologists. Guilty on all and peripheral accounts.
