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 hope they get him for EVERYTHING he's EVER DONE. Natalie's parents deserve the truth about their daughter.
I wanted to think that it was accidental, but a second time - no accident! He's a serial killer.
Unbelievable. Hopefully justice will be served this time...Peruvian Style!
AKA Vandersleezy.......Wonder how much water was around for him to dump the body in !
Nancy Grace will have fun with this one.
And so will Fox News Greta Van Susteren who almost lived in Aruba for months investigating and covering the story.
He wasn't careful this time. They have her body and a bloody crime scene that should provide plenty of evidence for the prosecutors.
WHOO HOOO!!!!!! Yes! Finally "What is done in the dark will always come to light"!
Terrible to see yet another young woman have to die.
not surprised at all....hoping this reopens the attention toward Natalie.
That guy is so nasty and gross and disgusting. I mean what would any woman think to go out with him much less do anything else. I hope he gets nailed. I'd love to watch him die! I hope Peruvian laws are tougher than the ones here in the state.
You have to wonder if he only has 2 victims.
After watching the tape of him admitting what he did to Natalie how can anyone be surprised. Make's you wonder how many other women out there are gone because of this monster!!!!!!!!
well, hopefully he'll be convicted on this one, and spend the rest of his life in prison. I've seen and read so many things on the Holloway case, and I honestly believe that he should pay for the murder of at least 1 person, since he'll probably never be charged in the Holloway case.
Lets see if his Daddy can rescue him this time. Oh wait, he can't because he didn't murder in Aruba this time and he and his father have no clout in Peru.
Firstly, can the entire police force that botched the Holloway case and drug their feet be slapped on national TV repeatedly? They were SOOOOOOOOOO concerned with Aruba not being tarnished instead of doing what they were supposed to do and investigate.
Secondly, is there anyway we can send him to Texas to be prosecuted? Wishful thinking I know.
Lastly, I know it's innocent before proven guilty but it didn't happen in America so I'm saying he's guilty!
daddy is dead and in Hell.
His dad is dead. Not much he can for his son from hell.
Don't we have that here? I mean, the guy sounds like a sleazeball, but maybe we should wait until at least a few of the details come forth before summarily convicting the guy!
Sorry, "Presumption of Innocence" only applies to the US legal system. Have a swell time in Peruvian prison Joran if you don't take the easy way out and kill yourself first. Slimeball.
Don't be so liberal with your comment without at least saying he is already guilty of killing one young woman – he confessed several times to killing Ms. Holloway (hidden cameras, etc). How the judges through out those confessions is beyond me – must have been his daddy and his daddy's money.
An eye for an eye...
