Aruba - Natalee Holloway, 18, Oranjestad, 30 May 2005 *AL extortion trial* *Guilty* #3

[Chimera]

Van Der Sloot is never going to give up the location of Natalee's remains, it looks like.
Wasn't he responsible for that other lady's death as well ?
Stephany Flores ?

Yes - he was convicted of murdering SF and will return to Peru to finish serving his sentence for her murder at the conclusion of his trial in the US.

This is what Joran van der Sloot’s father told several involved….and this is also what the police and prosecutor said “no body, no murder” (see article below) —— well…that is just not so….stay tuned..be patient

Not a fan of Joran's father.
Just saying.
Justice for the victims this JVS left in his wake.
I wonder if there are more, than the two that we know of ?
My opinion.

My opinion.

His father has been dead for a very long time.

This media person is going to try to milk this case all she can, imo, but there is no way a fraud case in the usa will be turned into a "murder" case in another country. Which was never even alleged by LE to be a murder case, no matter how much we stay tuned.

I predict that Joran will take a plea deal, and that a block of years in a usa prison means little to him given what he still faces in Peru. He's 35 or so now, has some 20 or more years to go in Peru, a dangerous place for such a block of time. A dangerous place, but familiar. So, what difference would it make to him, imo, if when he gets out at (read lives thru to) 55-60. And then faces not the 40 years in the USA which would be the max, til he is 100, or plea to 10 years which would theoretically let him free at 70. (years all estimated here, as the charges in Peru for additional crimes have been reported in varying amounts.)

As I said before, I think prison in the USA would be cleaner, more predictable and safer for him. But in Peru he has a pre-teen child, a new younger woman in his life, conjugal visits, and a thriving black market culture to exploit. In one of those Peruvian videos I posted about drug dealer prisons near Lima with many young Europeans serving time they are given just rice and potaoes, and are expected to wheel and deal for food and necessities. Ironically although in prison for drugs, they deal drugs within prison for food.

So I think he will just plea to 5-10 years tacked to the end, and that will also deny media people the opportunity to plant absurd theories which also, imo, exploit the Holloways.

I absolutely agree Nuttmegg.

I've been following and archiving the case since the beginning. Natalee, then Stephany.
My Case Archive was in awesome order but photobucket a couple years ago had changes and therefore messed up my order.
But most of it is still there.

Emphasis mine.
Thanks, NuttMegges, I was aware that his father is deceased, I should have worded my post more clearly.
Way back years ago I'd wondered if Joran had been enabled by VS Sr. in any way ?

For instance : IF Natalee had passed from acute alcohol poisoning, say, why wouldn't Joran and the other two people call an ambulance ?
It's speculation at this point, but what if she was deeply passed out akin to a comatose state; but still alive, and someone panicked and disposed of her when she could have been saved ?

Regarding the bolded ; Are you referring to the Flores case or the Holloway case ?
As far as fraud, was that when JVS had promised the Holloways of Natalee's location in exchange for a monetary amount, then he reneged ?
I've followed this case for a long time but I'll prob. never catch up here, there's so much information and a lot to cover !
Thanks in advance.

I was referring to the media person's tweet about someone in the usa being convicted of second deg murder without a body. And her hint that something like that could happen in Joran's fraud-extortion case. My point was that I think it absurd that she is suggesting that a person charged with fraud in the usa could somehow have his trial upended in some Perry Mason moment to convict him with murder, when even in the country in which NH vanished he was never accused of murder, nor was any murder by anyone of anyone ever alleged by LE.

About the rest, Deepak and Satish left Joran and NH on the beach. Obviously if she died or was incapacitated he should have helped. In one long interview he said he had to go to school the next day and that she refused to leave with him when Satish came to pick him up. Says she was sitting on the beach, alive, near some fishermen's huts. (Cuomo interview).

He was a teen used to picking up tourist girls, he said, from the age of 14 iirc.

 

[lonetraveler]

According to Joran's family and one psychiatrist in the Netherlands, he was mentally ill in 2010. His family had arranged to have him admitted to a psychiatric institution in the Netherlands in May 2010, where he would likely have spent the remainder of his life.

Two days before a broke and broken Joran was scheduled to fly to the NL for treatment, B. Holloway gave him thousands of dollars. Her goal was not to stop Joran from hurting anyone else, but to get him to the USA to prosecute him for a new crime based on her sting operation.

Thanks to that sting operation, the gambling addict was provided money for airfare to Peru for gambling, which in turn allowed him to avoid the psychiatric institution. Without that money from Beth's sting operation, there would have been no murder in Peru.

Joran was mentally ill in 2010 at the time of the sting operation, so IMHO thirteen years of harsh, violent prison life will have left him with permanent mental illness. I doubt any USA Judge will take his mental illness into consideration, but is he in a position to aid in his defence?

Given the extraordinarily harsh prison conditions in Peru, can a USA Judge in good conscience send Joran back there? Can Joran appeal that conditional extradition? Can the NL government appeal to have him extradited to the NL for any reason?

Beth Holloway is not the murderer in Peru. This evil monster is the murderer. He would have continued to murder if he was not caught in Peru. JMO

 

[lonetraveler]

This has been the Beth Holloway show since day 1, when she and 11 others of the Alabama posse went to Joran's house to confront him and his father. Without LE, and before LE even had a chance to complete survellience. (In my links, above). Those 3 boys she constantly and publicly accused of "gang rape" and "murder" had mothers too. Both mothers had to experience the joy of being dealt with by american media, and Mrs Holloway in a manner no mother should have to endure. I posted the articles just a few hours ago. Just cuz a kid is big at 17 does not mean he does not have a kid's brain. He was singled out and attacked by Holloway

<modsnip: Name calling not allowed>


Imo

God help Aruba if it was my daughter. Natalee is the victim here. Period.

 

[lonetraveler]

This is true. We can choose to disbelieve Joran's family, his lawyers and everyone who speaks on his behalf, and instead believe Natalee's family and media who claim that Joran and two friends kidnapped, raped and murdered Natalee - even though there is no evidence.

I followed the story of Natalee closely in 2005, so the information about Joran entering a psychiatric institution in May 2010 is not new information for me. For those who only followed the information from Natalee's family, it is probably new information - meaning it's easier to dismiss it as an after-the-fact story intended to mitigate consequences.

There are quite a few of us who followed this case since day one.

IF ... JVS did not harm or kill Natalee ; it still looked very bad when he killed (& I think JVS and no one else was responsible) Stephany Flores.
Her death gave me the vibes that she saw something on JVS' electronics that she wasn't supposed to see ?
Or asked the wrong questions about Natalee ?
But if that's not the case, why did Stephany have to die ?
It's as if she was silenced by someone who flew into a rage.
The brutal manner of Stephany's passing made it appear that JVS was not unaccustomed to using violence.
Idk, though.
My opinion.

 

[Seattle1]

As far as fraud, was that when JVS had promised the Holloways of Natalee's location in exchange for a monetary amount, then he reneged ?

Yes, confirming the 2010 Wire Fraud and Interference with Commerce charges resulted from requesting money in exchange for Natalee's location as outlined in the federal court docket below.

Those aren't LE sources. Under Dutch law, Joran could be (and was) held for 30 days even without being charged with any crime. Something we can't do in the US and we are rightfully proud of our own protections. Then he was released for lack of evidence. IIRC he and the brothers were held and questioned several times, along with others like the guards at the hotel.

Those news sources can accuse him of being a "suspect" because he is a foreigner without funds to sue them. Same as what happened when BH publicly, repeatedly accused the minor-aged Joran and also Deepak and Satish of being murderers and rapists. Had they been Americans she and the media show featuring her would have been rapidly sued.
