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.

    To AZ Resident: While we're on the subject of spelling: It's "you're" as in you are an educator.

    This is exactly why he should have been behind bars the first time. He has figured out how to kill and will continue to master his skills unless he is jailed for life!

    Unbelievable. This kid is sick.

    And AZ RESIDENT, before you go chastising other people on grammar and spelling, learn what an adverb is. Telling someone their grammar is "real bad" is pretty hypocritical.

    He got away with murder last time, what makes you think he wont get away with it again? So what his dad dies that doesnt mean all his dad's friends have died. Dont worry he will walk free just like last time, makes me sick but this is what I believe.
