(CNN) — A Peruvian police report leaked Monday says the alleged victim of Joran van der Sloot was found in his hotel room on the floor, half-dressed. The report provides new details about the hours before Stephany Flores’ body was found.
Van der Sloot, who was twice arrested in connection with the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005, is in Peruvian custody as a suspect in the killing of Flores, 21.
According to the document, the Hotel Tac, where van der Sloot was staying, received a call from someone looking for him about 11 p.m. June 1. The receptionist forwarded the call, but no one answered. The hotel worker assumed that van der Sloot was asleep because the room key was with him and not the front desk.
About an hour later, according to the police report, the receptionist noticed that van der Sloot owed money for two nights and went up to his room, where her knocks went unanswered. The television was blaring, so the hotel employee figured he was resting, the report says.
Afterward, the hotel supervisor told the employee to go back to van der Sloot’s room and enter using a spare key. When the employee went in, she found Flores’ body on the floor, dressed in a black T-shirt and red panties, half-covered with a piece of white clothing, the police report said.
Flores was bleeding from her nose, the report said.
The hotel employee became frightened at the sight and went to alert her supervisor and the police, turning off the television and lights on her way out of the room, the report said.
Well if CNN is right, the first reports were true, not Nasty Grace’s missing eyeballs stories.
Blood from the nose. First reports were death by broken neck, not bashed in face. Sounds correct. “white clothes” is the white sheet story of earlier. Wasn’t her skirt white?
My first guess would be she said “no” to Joran and he went into a fury. Or she was not drugged enough and fought back. Taking the money might have been an afterthought.
But the strict “motive was robbery” idea is weak, imo, as an explanation.
Actually, I take that back. It could be strictly robbery, and her skirt got torn in the fight.
Though there was an early thread about him complaining to poker buddies he thought he was the “handsome type” but no girls would go out with him.
