World: Natalee Holloway’s mom uses a van der Sloot level of judgment

  • She’s still looking for answers about her daughter. She wants to bring her daughter home.
  • Beth Holloway-Twitty’s lawyer John Kelly • Explaining why Holloway-Twitty went to the prison Joran van der Sloot is being held (as a suspect in the murder of Stephany Flores earlier this year) to directly confront the guy most commonly suspected in her daughter’s disappearance. Beyond handling this like an immature adult, it felt like it had the makings of a stunt. See, she did it with a Peruvian TV station for the purpose of creating “a TV special which would include her, the Flores family, and an interview with Joran van der Sloot.” How does this case keep getting weirder? source

Yeah, let’s see how that one works out for you, buddy. source

World: Joran van der Sloot’s reported victim, Stephany Flores, Googled him

  • I did not want to do it. The girl intruded into my private life. She had no right. … I confronted her. She was frightened, we argued and she wanted to get away. I grabbed her by the neck and I hit her.
  • Joran van deer Sloot (reportedly) • In the confession to the murder in Peru in which he is the main suspect. How did Flores intrude into his life? She looked up his name on the Internet. The guy has a pretty rough Google profile, doesn’t he? As a result of the confession, by the way, search teams have been organized in Aruba just in case this guy has any further things to say about the Natalee Holloway case. source

World: Natalee Holloway’s family: Joran van der Sloot’s arrest not enough

  • We could have had the answers in the first couple of days down there had they done their job right. And this should have never happened what’s happened in Peru.
  • Natalee Holloway’s stepfather, “Jug” Twitty • Discussing the recent arrest of Joran van der Sloot, a former suspect in Holloway’s disappearance in Aruba in 2005. Twitty feels that political connections (van der Sloot was the son of a prominent judge in Aruba) allowed him to go free, which led to the recent death of Stephany Flores in Peru. The U.S. recently charged van der Sloot with extortion related to the Holloway case. source

  • 2008 After the case dragged on and on (and on – thanks Nancy Grace), prosecutors try and fail to re-arrest van der Sloot after new evidence surfaces.
  • 2010 In Peru, van der Sloot is the main suspect in the murder of Stephany Flores Ramirez, and this time, there’s sufficient evidence. She was found in his hotel room. source
