Joran van der Sloot was a suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway
Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch man once considered a suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, is the suspect in the killing of a woman in Peru, Peruvian police officials said Wednesday.
There is "incriminating evidence" linking Van der Sloot to the killing of 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramirez, who was found dead in a Lima hotel room Wednesday, Cesar Guardia Vasquez, of the criminal investigations unit said at a news conference.
The hotel room where Flores was found was registered in Van der Sloot's name, he said.
A hotel guest and an employee witnessed the pair entering the hotel room together at 5 a.m. on Sunday, Guardia said.
Police have video of the previous night, May 29, of Van de Sloot and Flores together at the Atlantic City Casino in Lima, he said.
According to immigration officials, Van de Sloot fled to Chile over land on Monday, Guardia said.

I guess daddys not going to get him out of this one!
I am in total shock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Natalie's mom should go there and shoot him herself – to hell with going to prison – I would go to prison for one of my daughters any day to get this piece of crap off the streets. Two young girls murdered by this s....t of a human being. I followed Natalie's case from day one and I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad he will now have to pay either with Natalie's death or this girl's death. Hang him by his ba.....s for everyone to see.
I wonder if the Peruvian law enforcement officials have better evidence, more evidence for this instance, against Joran Van Dor Sloot. Why was he in Peru? Probably having a cocaine binge summer vacation over there. From a lawyers perspective, he should have stayed in Aruba. From what I am aware of, the Peruvian prison system is not a comfortable place to be, the conditions are foul and the human rights as well as individual rights are lax.
I must be out of the loop, I've never heard of this man or his daddy or anything of the sort. Either way hope he gets caught and stays there this time, wow.
Very poor police work in Aruba set this psycho free .The authorities knew he was guilty but were maybe paid off by this guy's daddy,but that won't happen again.Let the Peruvian Indians use their traditional and ancient torture practices on him.The truth will come eventually.
I'm sorry for the dead of the girl, but also amaze by what an idiot she is to hang out with this high profile "murderer".
You're F'd now you clown.
Gee, I wonder what he will do without his daddy to get him out of this one. Hopefully justice will be served!
Peruvian government is responsible for its citizen's death. Just because Aruba was incompetent didn't mean he was clean. He should be on every country's "persona non grata" list.
this boy is giving the dutch a bad name. women end up murdered where ever he goes. i hope the peruvians do a better job of prosecuting than the dutch
Natelee Holloway disappeared on May 30 2005.
Exactly five years later, on May 30 2010 this guy strikes again...
They entered the hotel room on Sunday, he fled Monday, but they didn't find the body in the room until Wednesday?
Well now he is defintely not going to get away with murder. I just saw an interview of the girl's family in Peru on CNN en espanol and they are going to do everything they can to bring him to justice. They also said that they will work the Holloway family to make sure he doesn't get away again. RIP to both girls.
Its a tragedy that he did it not once, but twice. I watched the Natalee Holloway story with my young daughter, and my heart just went out to her mother and father. I hope this creep is locked up for good! Peru should throw the book at him!
Let's hope he finally goes to prison in Peru. I've heard that prisons in South America are brutal. Perhaps he will finally get the punishment he deserves.
