Claire Windsor was born in Phillips County, Kansas, to Scandinavian parents on April 14, 1892 .......... She was married twice and well known for her love affairs ........... “Love” she said, “shouldn’t be about rules ......... When you meet that person, everything will be calm .......

“My boyfriend can’t get over how many people I’ve slept with. I shouldn’t have told him, but he pressed me for the info. He was 'nerdy’ for most of high school and college, and just started coming into his own in his mid to late 20s. I have been dating consistently for years, and have had my fair share of hookups and relationships. And while I don’t think my number is crazy at all, he can’t deal with the discrepancy. We’ve been dating for two years and we’re serious. I don’t want to break up. How can I handle this?”...

When I was a freshman in college, I thought I met the love of my life. He was cool and fun and sexy, an older frat guy who was good at beer pong and knew exactly how to make me laugh. Within weeks of our first meeting, he became my official boyfriend. Within six months, we moved in together. Another six months later and we were engaged. It was a whirlwind romance by any definition — except for the fact that I cheated on my boyfriend three times. Despite the heartache it caused, my experience with infidelity taught me a...

<p>LIMA, Peru -- Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway, was due in court in Peru on Monday over the murder of a local woman.</p> <p>The Dutchman is accused of robbing and murdering 21-year-old Stephany Flores, who was found dead in his Lima hotel room in May 2010. He was arrested after fleeing over the border to Chile and has been held in Lima's notorious Castro Castro prison ever since.</p>

Natalie Holloway murder suspect, Joran van der Sloot, has been ominously quiet for quite a while. That's not surprising since he's been languishing in Peru's Miguel Castro Castro prison since June awaiting the completion of the investigation of Stephany Flores's murder. On January 15th however, Van der Sloot suddenly decided to lunge back into the headlines by stabbing a guard and then attempting to hold him hostage in a crazy, and therefore unsuccessful attempt to break out of prison. According to the National Enquirer, Van der Sloot suddenly "freaked out" when guard, Luis Gavancho, brought a tray of food into...

Lima, Peru (CNN) -- Joran van der Sloot's Peruvian attorney has resigned from defending the murder suspect, the attorney told Peru's Foreign Press Association on Monday. Earlier, Maximo Altez Navarro told CNN that he didn't want to be van der Sloot's attorney anymore. "This has created many problems for me," Altez said. According to Peruvian prison authorities, Altez was the only person to have visited van der Sloot in prison. The 22-year-old Dutch citizen is accused in the death of 21-year-old student Stephany Flores Ramirez last month. On Monday, van der Sloot, who is in the Miguel Castro Castro prison...

Dutch murder suspect Joran van der Sloot says he'll reveal the location of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway's body if authorities transfer him from Peru's most infamous prison to a jail in Aruba, Radio Netherlands Worldwide reports Sunday. Van der Sloot, who reportedly fears for his safety inside the infamous Miguel Castro Castro prison, said he will disclose information about Holloway's remains on condition that he be transferred to his native Aruba. Peruvian President Alan García said Van der Sloot will serve his prison sentence in Peru, according to Radio Netherlands Worldwide. And the prosecutor's office on Aruba has reportedly said...

"Severe" may be an understatement. The prisons in Peru are known to be among the most brutal in the world. Here is one account of what happens to prisoners such as child molesters: A neighbor of Cieneguilla suffered the worst shock which could have happened. His daughter, only two years old, was raped by a drug addict and drunk who during a party at the neighbor's house went to her room and raped her. The unfortunate was saved from being lynched by the locals, but it was reported and he went to Lurigancho. The case, incredibly, didn't appeared in the...

[babelfish +] SANTIAGO. - The Government has decided to expel from the national territory the Dutch citizen Joren Van der Sloot, who is accused of committing a crime against a young person in Peru, and also is tied with the disappearance of another woman on the Caribbean island of Aruba. Police sources confirmed to Emol that the decision was decided by the Interior Ministry on the basis of norms of extranjería. On how he will be deported, radio Bío Bío indicates that it will occur tomorrow morning day in a joint activity between Chile and Peru. In such activity, Van...

New details in the alleged confession from Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, give an emotional and descriptive account of what he says were Holloways last moments that night she died. The Telegraaf reported that they viewed the videotaped conversation, which lasted two and a half hours, yesterday of van der Sloots most recent interview with RTL 5, a Dutch television station. This latest alleged confession was shot at a hotel in Dusseldorf, Germany. A full interview is expected to air this Sunday on the network.

New technology and old-fashioned detective work enabled Natalee Holloway's family to slap the main suspect in her Aruba disappearance with legal papers in New York. "We'd been monitoring the blogs, Web sites and Internet chatter, and it all reached a crescendo Wednesday," he said. New York law allows one party to serve another with a lawsuit, even if none of them lives here — giving Natalee's parents an opportunity to force the teen to answer questions under oath and to pay, at least financially, for his alleged involvement in their daughter's disappearance. Balber drew up a complaint against Joran, 18,...
