Okay, time for the alternate view. I know it's painful to reason, but please try.
First off, everything about this case is ridiculous. The "coincidences" alone are mind- boggling; exact five year anniversary of Natalee's disappearance, the convenient breaking news of Joran's "extortion" attempt the exact day he was apprehended, the curious timing that coincides with the important Kalpoe-Dr. Phil trial, set to start June 1, the day after the murder, everything apparently captured (at least the selected video snippets they show us) on a camera positioned perfectly outside Joran's room.
Then we have the relentlessly changing crime scene: no murder weapon found to baseball bat ("bombshell!" Nancy Disgrace exclaimed for an entire show about this) to tennis racket (really, has any murder ever been commited with a tennis racket?); body found face down, wrapped in a bloody sheet to body found face up, with arms folded; body fully clothed to body clad in t-shirt and red panties to body found face down.
There is the background of Stephany's father, an influential political figure and "circus empressario" (with a lot of unsundry connections). Flores was curiously unfettered by his daughter's murder from the outset, preferring to concentrate all his attention on the suspect, much as Beth Twitty initially focused solely on Joran. His constant references to the Holloways, even to the point of minimizing his own daughter's life by suggesting she was "sacrificed" to give the Holloways closure, were bizarre.
Stephany's brother identified the body, and graphically gave the bloody details to t.v. cameras, even to the point of detailing his sister's missing eye. The problem with that, of course, is that the new, "official" medical report seemed not to report any kind of mutilation to the face, beyond a trickle of blood from the nose (and perhaps the ear, again depending upon the source). These "mistakes" are often attributed to leaks from those who don't know the real facts; how can we explain such a gory "mistake" such as this, from the mouth of her own brother?
What happened to the stab wounds? The bloody crime scene? Do you know how hard it is for anyone-even a trained assassin-to break someone's neck?
Stephany was buried in record time- no Catholic family (and no other kind outside perhaps of some Muslims) would ever do that. We went from discovery of the body to burial in barely 24 hours. If anything, the process should have taken longer than normal, due to the unusual, highly publicized circumstances.
The key to this entire set up is the tremendous delay between approximate murder time (early Sunday morning) until discovery of the body (early Wednesday morning). Even a few of the idiotic "journalists" questioned this initially. So, scrambling for a cover story, at first we were told that Joran had instructed the hotel staff not to clean the room, because he'd be back in a few days. There was also said to be a "do not disturb" sign on the door. The video revealed that no such sign was placed on the door, so things evolved again, and we were told that Joran had instructed the hotel staff not to bother "his girl," as he paid the two back days rent he owed. Despite Nancy Grace telling her mindless, loyal viewers that Joran can be seen telling the front desk that as he checks out, a simple look at the video reveals that his lips never move as he walks past the desk on his way out of the hotel. Then, a dramatic late Tuesday night phone call is said to have alerted the staff to finally check the room (which is a lame attempt to explain the very odd, middle of the night time of discovery).
The fact remains- no hotel, or hostel, in the world operates in a such a way that someone can leave for "a few days," and expect the hotel not to clean the room in the meantime. If he returned, and the room was still available, Joran could have had it back. If not, they'd give him another one- it's not like there were any suites in the place- the rooms were very small and unimpressive. My suspicions were raised immediately when I learned the room hadn't been checked for three days.
Now the "confession." The media has bascially been preparing us for Joran's murder in the nightmarish Peru prison system. They have almost been advocating for it. In my view, this "confession" was a prelude to his death- I don't think he will live to go to trial. I hope I'm wrong, but at any rate, I don't for one second believe he legitimately confessed to anything, because I think he was framed.
This is all tied to the Holloway case. Those who have studied that closely know that Beth Twitty lied repeatedly, and the Mountain Brook friends/classmates who were with Natalee that night at the bar, gave little or no information to anyone about what they saw. They were, in fact, coached not to by Beth and her entourage. What mother of a missing child demands that the people with her when she left the bar not talk about what happened?
I have always felt that the answers to the Holloway case lie in Mountain Brook, not Aruba. This awfully convenient murder in Peru is an obvious attempt to finally put Joran behind bars (as Beth, Nancy Grace, Greta, Jane Velez Mitchell and everyone else in the mainstream media has long been frothing at the mouth for). There are evidently powerful interests that wish to cover up what really happened in Aruba.
This was an obvious frame up.
