NATALIE HOLLOWAY: Alabama vs. Joran van der Sloot for Extortion, Wire Fraud of Beth Holloway (suspect in disappearance of Natalie Holloway) *GUILTY*

Joran van der Sloot is expected to face arraignment this morning in a Birmingham federal courtroom on charges he tried to extort the mother of missing Mountain Brook teen Natalee Holloway.

Follow us here throughout the day for updates.

Van der Sloot was extradited on Thursday from Peru, where he is serving 28 years for the 2010 murder of college student Stephany Flores, to Alabama.

The 35-year-old was whisked from a Birmingham airport to the Hoover City Jail.

He is expected to be arraigned at 11 a.m. today at the federal courthouse in Birmingham.

Although van der Sloot has long been suspected in the disappearance and death of the Mountain Brook High School graduate visiting Aruba in 2005, he has never been charged in connection to her death.

However, federal authorities in Alabama contend that in 2010 van der Sloot exploited the fear of Holloway’s mother, Beth, that she would never find her daughter’s body or know what happened to her unless she paid him $250,000.

For an initial payment of $25,000, he would take the Holloway representative to the location of Natalee’s body. Once the body was recovered and confirmed to be Natalee, he said, he would then collect the remaining $225,000.

“I am hopeful some small semblance of justice will finally be realized may finally be realized, even though no act of justice will heal the pain we’ve endured,” a statement from Beth Holloway on Thursday read.

“For 18 years, I have lived with the unbearable pain of Natalee’s loss. Each day has been filled with unanswered questions and a longing for justice that has eluded us at every turn,” Holloway said.

“At the end of this, he has to be returned to Peru,” Van der Sloot’s attorney in Peru, Maximo Altez told The Associated Press. He will spend “at most two years in the United States.”
 
I also wonder if the two brothers who were with them participated in a rape. They said nothing at the time. IIRC, they were jailed for a couple of weeks trying to break them.

Since JV is probably a psychopath he could still lie and pass a lie detector test. Psychopaths are incapable of feeling remorse, so passing a polygraph is not hard for them.
Yeah and one Kalpoe (brothers) and Joran were recorded in a cop car...
 
IIRC, the Aruban authorities weren't the problem. It was his father, a judge in Norway(?) Who wielded a lot of power in Aruba that kept the police from questioning him.
He was like a some sort of judge in Aruba I thought. He was like a court commissioner here etc., municipal judge or some such not a bona fide judge. No, it is Holland. Not Norway.
 
12 year statute of limitations on murder? :thud:
Despite this confession, it is unlikely that van der Sloot will be charged with Holloway’s murder. In Aruba, the statute of limitations for homicide is 12 years. Van der Sloot is also serving a prison sentence for the murder of Stephany Flores, whom he killed in 2010 in Peru on the fifth anniversary of H

I believe Aruba is a territory of Holland and exerts a lot of sway there. I'm pretty sure he wasn't a judge in Aruba.
It could have been Holland or both but they LIVED in Aruba although the wife at least traveled back to Holland some I know and believe that is where she was when daddy and Joran went out and were free to play...

It is Holland though, not Norway as you first said, agreed right?

I still think there is a good chance dad helped dispose of her. Parents sure went all out to obstruct and ensure Joran faced no consequences. And what happened, another woman ended up dead and that's on Joran but it is also on Aruban authorities and the Vandersluts.
 
One of the articles I read says Aruba has a statute of limitations is 12 years, so no. This is why he felt bold enough IMO,
Why am I not surprised? I was SURE he knew of any possible consequences before he did this. I still hope there is some consequence he or his attorneys did not think of but it probably was just to avoid further prison time in another country and a big mess for him to ever try to get out of. I do not believe for a minute he did this because it was the right thing or that he felt for the family. The man took took too much delight in putting them through he77 over the years and any person with an ounce of compassion or remorse could not have done the sh*t he did including trying to extort.

I'd like to think he also was scared of coming into an American prison after his other sentence is served but I think it is mostly about keeping it only to the sentence he already is serving in hopes of one day getting out and/or fighting to get out of that one sooner. So he is back to just "one" mess to deal with, that's his reason if you ask me, entirely self serving of course.

While I'd love him in a US prison, I also prefer he stay off our soil and be shipped out the sooner the better. There will be cleaner less smelly air once he is. In fact, I think with the news he confessed, it already seems slightly fresher...

Is he the first international serial killer known of? There have probably been others but none come to mind for me.

I know, I know, he only killed two we know of but that's what he was or would have been if you ask me, all the hallmarks are there. Killing Flores on the anniversary of murder of NH says it all, the date, etc. He had mum and dad and the connections in Aruba the first time and was taught he could get away with it, even taunt and extort and wring the Holloways over and over with false stories, etc. but noting about this guy is smart, in Flores, he was on hotel camera and a lot more. He didn't have the same help...

A stupid but budding serial killer stopped in his tracks because of his stupidity and the lack of people to help him cover it up.

He's a bit different though in that Joran just thought he could have what he wanted and if it didn't come to him or a female rejected him, he went into a rage and killed BUT who knows, he likely planned to do exactly that in both cases anyhow regardless of how it went. BUDDING serial killer... Flores had found he was the suspect in NH. BUT this was the anniversary, was that an accident it just happened to be on that date? I don't think so.
 
No. That his "confession" was a lie.
What I mean is I didn't hear of a cinder block, I simply heard or read in the one link I followed that he admitted to murdering her and dumping her in the ocean.. Does one of the links have more detail that includes a cinder block? Not asking you to go look for it or link it, just asking if that s the case? Or are you talking of some old story of his?
