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.

    Im sure this young woman fell victim to him just as Natalie did. More than likely these are not the only 2 women he has killed, Im sure there have been others. He is a serial killer and he needs to be caught.

    Man, what some good looking guys get away with.... Maybe he will finally learn that because you get away with things like this most of your life it can come back to get you. This is unbelievable to me. Why was no one watching him/ keeping an eye on him with this young woman? Yes, he was "cleared", but he was still investigated and it's not like people don't know what he looks like. And, in all honesty, I hope a member of this woman's family gets ahold of him long before the courts do.

    It was so obvious that this monster's well-connected father got him off, when the Holloway murder investigation in Aruba cleared him. I thought at the time that it had to be him. Now another young woman is dead. I hope that van der Sloot's family can live with themselves. i hope the police and judicial authorities in Aruba can live with themselves. They are all guilty of aiding in the killing that poor young woman in Peru.

    Hopefully this time justice will be served and he will spend the rest of his days in prison.

    I wish this bast*rd had dropped dead when "daddy" kicked the bucket. I especially wish those morons in Aruba had done their job and arrested this freak for murdering Natalee. If Aruba wasn't so stupid this 2nd woman wouldn't have died at the hands of this sociopath. A message to Joran: the elevator down to h*ll is waiting for you.

    I am not sure and I hope Nancy could answer: has the well in Joran's father house in Aruba been searched?... Girls feel safe if the boy invites her to his own house. Remember the case of Ted Kennedy's nephew.
