Peru cops: Holloway suspect van der Sloot wanted for murder again

Joran van der Sloot was a suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway

FULL STORY

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.

    Let's hope the Peruvian government nails his sorry a**. Spending his life in a US jail would be a picnic vs. spending his life in a Peruvian jail which will be Hell on earth...anyone remember the film Midnight Express. This guy will have so many anal probes his farts won't make a sound.

    Tragic. Another baby lost due to an evil boy. I hope they burn him at the stake for this one.

    He got real confident and thought he got away with one murder, why not try another? Now it caught up to him. Hope the idiot gets the punishment we all want for him

    White guys have to kill often to get arrested. He should have been in jail already he killed Natalie Holloway now he kills another innocent woman. Where is the justice?

      Did you lie for him or bury the corpse?

      So two dead girls associated directly with him in the last several years is just coincidence? Wake up! The only explanation I can see for you blindness is you must be a relative. Your boy is going down this time and will be in a (hopefully) very crappy third world jail for the rest of his life. Have fun visiting!

    I hope the family can sue because Joran should have been behind bars for killing Natalie.

  15. Quit being so sensitive

    @Cyberspy and Kmeadows...get over it. It's just a saying. Near all old phrases/sayings such as those originate from some form of truth. There's not denying there are more black men in jail than any other race, and Tyrone happens to be a strong-sounding black name. Quit being so d@mn over-sensitive and PC. Your type of behavior is just one of the reasons this country cannot move past racism. The point of the OP's comment is that Van Der Sloot will "get his". Quit over analyzing it and move on.
