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.

Karma, schmarma...WHERE IS HE GETTING THE MONEY TO DO ALL THIS TRAVELING AND PARTYING? If he has a credit card, can't they find him by tracing the card activity? Or does he wander around with wads of cash?
GUILTY
Can someone please put a bullet in this guy before he gets away with it again. Let's face it, the entire investigation in Aruba was botched and his families wealth and position enabled hime to get away with murder once before.
Can't stand these little, rich, above-the-law pieces of CRAP. Why this ugly little creep is allowed to globe trot around on his father's dime and commit crimes is beyond me. Hopefully this time there is enough evidence to convict and put away this slime. It's a shame he was not already in jail from the ARUBA catastrophy... this poor woman would have not had to die then. Thank God "daddy" is not around to cover for him this time.
No question he did something to Holloway now. Young women keep ending up missing or found dead in relation to this dude. I bet his families status on Aruba is what kept him out of trouble with the Holloway case. Now he's gone to Peru...daddy can't save him there. I hope they nail this dude to the wall and he's spends the remainder of his days in some wretched Peruvian prison awaiting execution.
I hope this gives them a break in the Holloway case! Let's see preppy boy get out of this one1
Murderers are stupid and they make mistakes- this one will cost him his life... "ZZZZZZZAP ! Goes the electric chair " !
This man is hated the world over. No death could be too slow or too agonizing for him
Way to go Aruba. Let a serial killer go free!
It's a shame, I hope his dad is rolling over and over again in his grave. Because of his protection, he kept his killer son out of jail so that he could kill again. I'm sorry parents, I love my kid too but if you know your kid is guilty of murder, turn him/her in so that they don't kill again. I get it, know one wants to sacrifice their own child, but God did so...
Duncecap Van Der Blues..whadda idiot!!
His papa is now dead – so who's he planning to try and save his sorry ass now? Only this time history won't repeat itself – there's now a body left behind this time. Peruvian justice is not like the lame Aruba procedures. Time for justice to prevail.
Does anyone know if they brought up Natalie's remains from the ocean yet? Didn't some diver take photo of her?
Yup this punk needs to die. I hope in puru they can dispose of this slim. I know in our country his rich puke of an old man could handle some judge or pay some slim ball lawyer enough so he could get off and do it again. Oh wait theyv'e already done that. Hope they're happy now
Tragically, another parent's child had to be sacrificed to get this punk off the streets! Aruba has blood on its hands twice! Makes one wonder how many girls are dead due to his actions, but have never been connected to him...
I only hope paybacks are hell!
