I know, but when plea deal was mentioned, that's why I said that it would only make sense if that plea deal somehow made the 36 years still owed Peru to somehow go away, through some deal between Peru and the USA, which doesn't make any sense to me, I just threw it out there as the only reason (I can think of off the bat) he could benefit from a "plea deal" ie if it involved some give from Peru. When GVS hints that he may "talk" I think it gives Mrs. Holloway false hope. BTW, Dave Holloway spent all sorts of time in Aruba looking for NH, cooperated in a major documentary, and worked with so many investigators. I remember when he and one of the guys combed the dump for Natalee's body. It seemed to me that DH spent time searching but did not do many TV appearances.
Well this case unraveled for literally years after she went missing. So it took me awhile to form an opinion. In summary, I don't think there was any motive for 17 year old Joran to kill her. But I think her death occurred, and then Joran somehow dumped her body in the ocean, or possibly to land via a short run to nearby Venezuela.
I think Abrams would have more of a case had Joran already been convicted of murder in the USA, then fled to Peru. Maybe then a type of exchange as Abrams is suggesting would make more sense. But an ex president of Peru in exchange for the opportunity to file wire fraud/extortion charges against someone already serving time for murder in another country? I don't see the balance there. But it will be interesting, thanks for posting the video.
I agree with every word of that. Otherwise, wire fraud charges are more important than the death of a Peruvian young woman, the charge he is already serving time for? I don't think the Peruvian people would stand for extradicting Joran to serve wire fraud charges instead of serving his time over the confessed murder of one of their lovely young women.

Thanks, I didn't know that.A little known fact that may have changed the outcome for Stephanie Flores is that v.d.Sloot's mother and uncle had arranged for him to be admitted to a psychiatric facility in the Netherlands at the same time that the wire fraud sting operation was put in place. v.d.Sloot had no money and would have had little choice but to follow through with the plans made by his family.
At the exact moment when v.d.Sloot had no other options, he was offered $25k to tell another story about Natalee's body. Of course, the gambling addict took the money and flew to Peru to pursue wealth through gambling. There, he met Stephanie Flores while gambling, and she became another victim of his violent temper.
If v.d.Sloot had been committed to the psychiatric facility, he would have received treatment, he may have eventually been truthful about the night he met Natalee, and it's quite likely that he would never have been released from the facility. The $25k wire fraud sting changed the course of v.d.Sloot's life and the lives of many others.
"The Van der Sloot family lives in Aruba, where the interview with Anita van der Sloot was conducted. She told the newspaper her son disappeared in mid-May, two days before he was scheduled to travel to the Netherlands for treatment in a mental institution. He left a note saying he was going to Peru, she said."

Report: Van Der Sloot Mentally Ill, Mother Says
Mother tells a Dutch newspaper that the reason why he went to Peru was to avoid being admitted to an Aruban mental institution
In some ways, it seems like two well-intentioned parties in a head-on collision resulting in the worst possible outcome.
